Saying Ashley (and her associate photographer, Bri) was amazing just does not do her justice. Ashley did both our engagement photos and wedding photos, and both were stunning. The communication with Ashley throughout the entire process was easy, she always responded quickly. She was so willing to answer our questions and give us tons of wedding planning advice. She made sure to get every single shot we asked for. Her skills are beyond unbelievable. She makes you feel so comfortable and makes sure you are having fun while taking all of your photos. She even helped me with our timeline, which helped the day run smoothly. Her turnaround time is extremely fast, unrivaled in the industry. We received our sneak peeks less than 12 hours after the photography ended. We received our full wedding gallery less than 2 weeks after our wedding date! We were blown away by all of the photos. Her editing is top quality and every single photo looks stellar. We could not recommend Ashley enough for any occasion, not just weddings!

I believe in honest portraiture, which basically means capturing YOU, your family, or your business in ways that legitimately feel real. I always want people to feel like they know you when they see an image. Forget the stereotypes of what it's supposed to be.

I am a trusted artist not only in Virginia but all over the United States. I have built and continue to build a large specialty in many fields of Makeup. My goal is to help every Bride accomplish their dream look while still allowing their true beauty to glow through.

I hired Chelsea for my wedding make up and it was the best decision that I could’ve made. At the initial trial, she was able to make adjustments as needed. On the day of my wedding, she made me feel absolutely beautiful. My make up was so beautiful that I did not want to take it off! I actually kept it on overnight. My make up was able to last from morning through morning. It stayed in place and looked incredible through a ton of sweating, rain and sun (yes, it was sunny and raining). Chelsea and her team made not only myself, but my bridesmaids feel and look their absolute best. She paid very close attention to detail, she was very prompt with time, and made sure that we all loved our looks. I would absolutely hire Chelsea Marie for any event where I need to look amazing. She has so much experience with different skin types, textures, features etc. She WILL make you feel like a million dollars.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chef Dominique was incredible to work with for our wedding weekend 8-12-23! Her passion, mastery, expertise, creativity is clearly shown through her work. You can tell she loves what she does. The process of working with her was so smooth. She took a small deposit for a booking fee, then took our order. We walked through options, flavors, and showed her pictures of ideas for all of our desserts that weekend. It included a rehearsal dinner groom's cake, wedding reception cake, and cupcakes. She nailed all of them! They were tasty, moist, not too sweet, and decorated so well! They literally matched the vision we had and surpassed pictures we showed her; they had her touches on them. We were in town about 5 months prior to our wedding and we were able to do a taste testing with her — ordering about 6-8 cupcakes of different flavors. It was nice to test them and figure out how to match flavors for our wedding. Her billing process is secure and easy online. Pickup for the taste test cupcakes and the rehearsal dinner cake was easy and her store is easy to get to. Delivery for the wedding was on time, without any issues. We received so many complements about the cakes and how they were decorated! We were fortunate to have some leftovers from the wedding that we ate on for the next few days. I will say the cake and cupcakes did survive and still taste good 1-3 days later as we traveled back home from Virginia. we will definitely use Dominique again for any dessert needs and will continually recommend her to others! Thank you Dominique for being part of our special weekend! It wouldn’t have been as sweet without you! See review on Google maps for photos!

Kyndall Vince Photos

  • Classic style
  • Serves Toano, VA

Hey there! Thanks so much for checking out! my page. I’m a couples and wedding photographer based out of Virginia Beach, Va but you can take me anywhere(: I’ve always loved taking photos and editing them, but couples have just completely stolen my heart. Being able to get creative and meet so many amazing couples all while giving you something you’ll have forever is what makes it so fun! Feel free to visit my instagram or website to see my most up to date sessions and learn more about me! (:

The first thing that caught my eye with Kyndall was her editing style. I mean when picking a photographer that’s pretty important to love! Her style was so unique and almost ethereal. I just got the best vibes from everything she had online and immediately I knew I wanted her for our wedding. From the moment we decided on Kyndall, I was impressed by her efficient and thorough communication and the entire process of booking. I loved being able to pay through her portal and have reminders throughout the year. She was always available if I had a small question or needed advice on something during my planning. Then the real magic happened day-of! Her and Bre were a highlight of my day truly. They were simply FUN. Immaculate vibes, we all fell into things very easily. It was a very blustery day and I wasn’t feeling super pretty- just kind of disheveled honestly. Despite the weather they both made me feel beautiful, comfortable, confident, and at ease, and I know my friends and family would agree. Her work was exactly what I was hoping for to capture our special day, and her personality was a bonus. Kyndall was genuinely fun to work with, and I cannot wait to see the final results. I’ve seen the sneak peaks (which I got literally less than 12 hours after our wedding!!) and I can say without a doubt hiring Kyndall was truly the best decision we made in selecting vendors. I would highly recommend her services to any couple planning their wedding.

Photography has always been my way of connecting with the world, but weddings hold a special place in my heart. There's something truly magical about experiencing every emotion of the day alongside the couple - the joy, the happy tears, the excitement, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. Being entrusted to capture those emotions is an honor I don't take lightly. With each click of the shutter, I'm not just taking a photo - I'm preserving a piece of your story, one that you can cherish forever.

Lauren Ashlie Imagery provided amazing photography for our wedding day. Her communication was efficient, clear, and prompt throughout the entire process making it so easy to work with her. The quality of her work was incredible - the photos are so natural and detailed, capturing all the special moments beautifully.

My love for photography began back when I was in high school, and my friends and I would have makeshift photoshoots just to keep our Myspace profile pic updated, and well the rest is history. . For me photography is more than just snapping a picture and or editing something in photoshop, but about the entire experience, and documenting your special moment; from choosing a location and vibe to what outfit you should wear, I am with you every step of the way.

Not only is Maria incredibly talented, she’s the absolute sweetest too!!! She got on so well with our bridal party and joked along with us! The pictures are absolutely stunning and all my friends and family keep saying “your photographer took beautiful photos!!” Whenever we need more pictures in the future, you can bet I’m reaching out to Maria again!

As your wedding photographer I understand the journey you have been on that leads you to your wedding day. I know about the unique twists and turns of your story as a couple and how much this celebration means to you both. I know these things because I am invested in you as a couple just as you are investing in me as your photographer. As you vow to be true to each other for the rest of your lives, I promise to capture you in a timeless and romantic way that creates heirloom quality images that eventually turn into your legacy.

Meridith Bright is an exceptional photographer. You would be absolutely blessed to have her by your side at any event. Meridith photographed my wedding (10/14/2023), welcome party (10/13/2023), and a recent family photography session (9/2023). I could not have been happier with her work, professionalism, and vibe. Due to budget reasons, we were unable to have a second shooter, but she was EVERYWHERE. Every single time I looked up, there was Meredith. It rained on my wedding day, which limited our availability for photo locations - no big deal, she improvised and came up with excellent second choices. When I stepped outside the tent to take selfies with my girlfriends in the rain, all of a sudden there was Meridith capturing our moment as well. I’m a photography addict and I had some out of the box ideas that Meridith admittedly didn't have experience with. I love that she was open and honest about not having done this type of photo before and I loved her willingness to try out the photo styles. One of these requested photos was in my sneak peak, and it was to die for, perfect. Two days before my wedding, my mother surprised me with a list of photos she would be requiring for the day. I thought my "official" timeline by my planner wasn't going to be able to accommodate this. Meridith took charge. She went back and forth with me multiple times over the next 48hrs and created a new timeline to ensure we could get it done. Lastly, after all that back and forth, I was insanely late the day of my wedding. There was a bit of drama (surprise lol), and I did not complete my hair and makeup until over an hour after I was supposed to. Oh my goodness was Meridith wonderful in this situation. She never flustered or got angry with me. Instead, she lovingly kept reminding me of the importance to have fun and enjoy this time. So while I was freaking out at the potential of ruining everything, Meridith was go with the flow, upbeat, and calming - all things I really needed. I got my sneak peak photos from the wedding and welcome party on 10/15/2023. 26 pictures of pure perfection. OBSESSED! They are absolutely gorgeous. The day had its fair share of craziness, but these pictures are out of this world – coming from someone with 105,891 pictures on their phone. I feel like I got my perfect day, which will forever mean the world to me and would not have been able to happen without Meridith Bright. Thank you for everything, Mer! And to the googlers still reading, book her – you won’t regret it.

Hello! My name is Liz Seidel and I can't wait to spend time with you! I am the sole owner/photographer at Sterling Life Photography. I have been documenting weddings and people full time since the summer of 2015. I have two beautiful children that keep me busy and laughing. I love driving with no destination while listening to audible, wine, a good laugh that makes your cheeks hurt, and melting into the scene at weddings.

We are so grateful to Liz for capturing the beauty and spirit of Emily and Matt’s wedding day. Liz was able to accompany us throughout the entire day in a way that did not interfere with any of the events or aspects of the day. She has a unique ability to capture the many moments of two families coming together as one by seamlessly threading together the tenderness of friends and family helping the bride and groom getting ready, to the love and holiness of the ceremony, and finally to the exuberance and free spirited joy and celebration of the reception. Then, Liz patiently put all of it together to create distinctively individual albums for the bride and groom, for our family and for Matt's family. Liz did an amazing job and I would highly recommend her to any bride and groom.
