Schilling Wedding Planning 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves West Springfield, VA

I am a wedding planner certified by the Wedding Planning Institute at George Mason University. I am based in Springfield, VA, and work throughout the DC, MD, and Loudoun County, VA. As a fun-loving, adventure-craving 20-something, I am also your girl for destination weddings at any spot on the globe! I discovered my passion for wedding planning while designing my own. I would get comments about how "on top of things" or "how organized," and I soon began receiving requests from other engaged couples. I quickly discovered the joy of creating that special day that people have been dreaming of their entire lives and, soon after, launched SWP.

Macy was amazing! I felt a lot of stress leading up to the wedding but she was always able to put me at ease! We had to make some day of seating adjustments and she took care of it and I didn't have to worry about anything. Communication was great, always had quick replies to emails/questions. Highly recommend!

When I first arrived on the property to look at it, it was breathtaking so beautiful and so well kept, and obviously Lauren and Kara were so kind and sweet and so attentive to every single one of my requests and details. Fast-forward to wedding weekend, I had Kara and Lauren on speed dial if I needed anything and they were so helpful for any tiny request. I needed for my wedding party and family. The property is absolutely stunning. My wedding party and I stayed in the farmhouse the entire weekend from rehearsal dinner to a brunch on that Sunday and my friends, and I had the time of our lives. It was so accommodating to have family come from out of state. Be able to stay on the property in a nearby Airbnb that houses 20 people! I wasn’t worried about hotels, driving and transporting people or potentially having them drinking and driving. It was so nice to just be there the entire time. My friends and family have said that it was one of the best weddings that they have ever been to and I can concur that was the best wedding ever. I cannot recommend this place enough if you live in Maryland or nearby or somewhere on the East Coast or looking to do a destination wedding. This is your place to do it!!! I wish I could relive my wedding weekend. It was so magical and perfect and I could not have asked for anything more. Thank you Comus farms!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenn was absolutely incredible to work with. I felt SO lucky when I came across her work on social media - which was genuinely more beautiful than photographers charging 2x or more. I probably inquired with 10 photographers beforehand, but the moment I found Jenn, knew we'd choose her for her beautiful work. We loved our engagement photos, and she gave us (stunning) sneak peek wedding photos the day after our wedding! From her "detail" shots, teaching us how to pose (thanks!), scoping out the best spots for beautiful shots, creating a wedding day photography timeline for us - she was so professional, creative, and easy to communicate with. Also as a side note, she is an engineer and I don't know how she is blessed in equal measure with both left-brain precision and right-brain creativity. She also has some very cool options, like Super8 film, polaroids, etc. that we opted to add on - her work is timeless and beautiful and I can't recommend her highly enough. Jenn - thank you so much for capturing these moments for us to look back on!

From a young age, she discovered the power of storytelling through her mom's scrap books and National Geographic magazines, sparking an undying fascination with capturing the essence of life's most profound moments. She studies under renowned photographers, soaking up their wisdom and honing her own unique style; authentic photojournalism.

Choosing Katelyn as our wedding photographer was undoubtedly one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding day! We had the pleasure of seeing her work firsthand at a friend's wedding, with who knows how many cameras strapped on! Seeing her attention to detail firsthand and the beautiful quality of our friends photos, she was first on our list for a consultation. From our first call, Katelyn embraced our vision with enthusiasm and professionalism. We knew we wanted a documentary-style photographer with the option of film photos (we loved that Katelyn includes these already) who could capture the genuine emotions and candid moments of our wedding with our lively group, and Katelyn delivered! Despite our initial nervousness about being in front of the camera, Katelyn made us feel incredibly comfortable. Having an engagement shoot beforehand was a great practice run, she has an incredible talent for putting people at ease, and this truly shines through in the photos. We have never felt so photogenic! Our album turned out better than we could have dreamed up. It is truly reflective of us and our day. Complete with details of my treasured Kirkland sweatpants on the way to our venue contrasted with my dress glam Katelyn’s commitment to us was truly exceptional as she had a family loss shortly before our wedding. It would have been more than understandable for her to need more time away or to find us a replacement. Despite this, Katelyn remained fully committed to capturing our day and we are so so grateful. Her dedication and professionalism during such a difficult time speaks volumes about her passion for her work and for her clients. Katelyn is a true artist and an amazing person. Her work exceeded all our expectations, and we feel so fortunate to have had her as part of our wedding team. The only question we have is how early is too early for a vow renewal so we can hire her again!

I'm not a good enough writer to properly capture how great of a service Chris provides with The Easy Pour. Before our wedding, Chris helped us game plan everything - from setup, recommendations on types and amounts of alcohol to even contingency plans for weather (that came into play). The drink menu suggestions that Chris provides are definitely something I recommend taking advantage of - we got the Lavender Gin Fizz and Spiced Honey Old Fashioned, and both were raved on by guests even by folks who chose the mocktail version. On the wedding day, the service they provided was awesome. Chris and Nicole were bartending and were equipped for the rain we got, and Nicole even brought my wife and I drinks (which were so delicious) while we were getting swept away by the attention of guests. The Easy Pour was a highlight for our wedding and knocked it out of the park from an aesthetics, taste, and friendliness standpoint. We really can't thank or recommend Chris and his mobile bar enough.

Natalie Estess is a Washington DC-based wedding and portrait photographer specialized in creating dreamy, artful images that celebrate human connection and individuality. With a blend of editorial flare and heartfelt storytelling, Natalie creates photographs that are genuine, alive, and uniquely reflective of the people in front of her lens. If you're dreaming of a day that truly honors who you are and what matters most to you, you've come to the right place!

Natalie shot my engagement photos and they were everything I could have hoped for and more. The proposal was a total surprise, and I still can't believe how well they came out and how seamlessly she captured even the initial moments given how unprepared I was! Not only were the photos amazing (and sent to us on a super quick turnaround, even though it was over the holidays) but she also gave so much helpful guidance and was such a calming presence throughout the shoot. I am not always naturally good at posing and was very nervous, but she gave very clear direction and really put me at ease so that the best moments she captured were really natural ones. Our photoshoot was at the National Portrait Gallery, so she also worked closely with my fiancée to find lots of different art and settings throughout the museum —looking back at the photos now I can really see how her artistry and vision came to life! She expertly worked with the art to use dynamic angles and perspectives that were unique and gave us a lot of options. We also took a few pictures at the Christmas market outside the gallery, and even those came out amazing, which is so impressive considering it was PACKED and we could barely move! It’s hard to put into words how much it means to have such a special time preserved so beautifully. Since I was so surprised, a lot of the day went by in a blur, and I’m so thankful to be able to relive it again and again through the photos. I couldn’t stop crying when we got them and have gotten ENDLESS compliments since posting them on social! WE LOVE NATALIE!!

If you’ve had a good time at a wedding or event in the DC/Maryland/VA area, chances are it was DJ Casanova that got you moving. You know him as DJ Casanova, but around the office, we just call him Jamie. Back in the day, he was just a child of immigrants recording his favorite songs over his parent’s cassette tapes (sorry Mom and Dad) so he could listen to them on his prized Walkman. Jamie entered the DJ field in 2009, and before long he was spinning something at a different party every week. Pretty soon he realized that sharing his love of music with like-minded folks was more than just a hobby, it was a gift.

DJ Casanova was awesome! My husband and I are very picky when it comes to music, and decided to make our own playlists for our wedding reception. He was so great and was totally on board with playing our pre made playlists. He was so helpful throughout the process and was also so responsive prior to the reception via phone and email. He made sure to speak with us via FaceTime to formally meet us and go over name pronunciations since he also introduced all the big moments of the reception. He also made sure to check in with us throughout the reception to make sure the music and sound quality were to our liking. We were so pleased with him as our DJ!

I am an editorial wedding photographer who is passionate about documenting authentic moments from your wedding as well as fine art classic portraits. Aside from memorable photographs, I believe every couple wants a wedding photographer to be a trusted partner and someone that can add value.

I was on the fence about whether to hire a photographer for my microwedding -- so I'm lucky that a friend referred me to Nadine! Working with Nadine was seamless, easy, and (even for someone as camera-shy as I) fun! She made my partner, my family, and me look and feel our best. Nadine had tons of great ideas about where to shoot, plans in case of rain, and jokes to keep us smiling. She made creating a gallery of gorgeous photos feel effortless. We loved working with her and recommend her to anyone looking for timeless photographs of their special day!

My passion for photography grew when my daughter, Lotus, was born in 2004 and I began documenting her childhood with an eye toward catching each irreplaceable moment. Soon, friends and then friends of friends asked me to photograph their children and families. Before long, I was documenting the lives and milestones of people all over the DMV area. I realized how happy I was connecting with people and capturing special moments, and so I launched Lotus Photography in 2012 - named for my first muse. I fell in love with capturing weddings in 2017 and I have been hooked ever since!

Lotus Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Georgette showed a true empathy for our vision and provided thoughtful feedback to help us feel confident in our decisions. She was incredibly approachable and adaptable, always available for quick chats, texts, and emails. On our wedding day, Georgette was with us from start to finish, ensuring she captured every guest and all of our most intimate moments as a couple. The final photos are absolutely stunning - professional, artistic, timeless, and so authentically us. It's like reliving our special day every time we look through them, and we can't wait to have our favorites printed to hang up all over the house! If you're looking for a photographer who is full of life, energetic, and so much fun to be around, Lotus Photography is the perfect choice.

We chose Brookside Gardens for our wedding because it's such a beautiful location and so close to DC where we live. We worked with Jennifer and her team along the way and they were responsive and incredibly helpful (giving us ideas for how to set everything up, what couples have done in the past, etc.) We had our wedding in the Yew Garden and our cocktail hour in the Fragrance Garden before moving inside for the reception and it was all stunning and we were able to go to several spots in the gardens for our golden hour photos (Japanese Tea House, rose garden, I could go on and on!) I 100% recommend Brookside Gardens for any wedding and am so grateful that we were able to get married there!

As a wedding photographer, capturing what is by far one of the most important days of someone's life is just such an honor and an experience. I see it as an opportunity to capture, document, and preserve some of the most powerful emotions that we can experience as human beings. As a series of images that will last for generations. If you’re looking for beautiful, stunning images that truly capture you and your loved one's special day fueled by a passion for photography... as well as a warm, professional experience, I am the photographer for you.

From the moment we first spoke with Lee, we knew we were in good hands. They were incredibly kind, caring, and easygoing throughout the entire process, making us feel comfortable and at ease from start to finish. Their work is simply amazing - the photos they captured of our wedding day are so good and absolutely beautiful, perfectly preserving all the special moments we'll cherish forever. They were a true pleasure to work with, so easy to coordinate with and always responsive to our questions and needs. We couldn't be happier with the incredible service and stunning results and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer.
