Choosing Timeless Photo Video was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Steve (photographer) , Lia (videographer), Nancy and Kate (the coordinators) and the team were amazing to work with. They were punctual, professional, and had a great sense of humor, which made us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. We especially loved how they captured the candid moments and the emotions of the day. The video was edited beautifully, and the photos are breathtaking. We've received so many compliments from friends and family. Thank you, Timeless Photo Video, for giving us such precious memories to look back on!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was initially weary to hire a national florist rather than a local one, but once speaking with my poppy team, I was sold. They took my inspiration and ran with it! I loved them because they took so much stress of me. After the initial consult, I barely had to do anything. Closer to wedding day, I was put in contact with my florist, gave her my venue info and she handled everything! With everything I had to plan and worry about, it was nice knowing Poppy had my flowers covered. They came and set up my arch and isle clusters and made sure all my florals went where I had planned for them.

  • DJ

That experience translates to DJing weddings and events so seamlessly, from being able to read crowds and deliver exactly what you and your guests want, to managing logistics from the DJ booth in an effortless manner. Whether you want a folk-laden cocktail hour, a classic dinner playlist, or a modern dance party, let me be the one to provide the soundtrack to the most important day of your life!

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Jeremy as the DJ for our wedding in 2018, and he was an absolute star. He did the music at my company's holiday party the year before, and we knew we wanted to find him for our wedding! His organization and professionalism were top notch - and filling out the "must play" and "must not play" lists was really fun to do - we got to think about all of our favorite songs that we were excited to hear, and make sure he knew which songs were off limits for us. Because of that, our wedding felt super personalized, and we loved every song that played! We were also particularly thrilled with his execution of cocktail hour - we requested instrumental versions of modern/classic rock songs, and he found SO MANY great versions of so many great songs. When we talk to family and friends about our wedding, they without fail mention how much they loved the instrumental version of "Wake Me Up Inside" by Evanescence. After our wedding, we recommended him to friends of ours and we got to see him again at their wedding the following year! I would give him more stars than 5 if I could.

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow can’t say enough amazing things about this photographer, he truly was one of the highlights of our wedding. Don’t walk to book him run! He was super focused, detail orientated, bilingual, fun and laid back. He captured so many incredible behind the scene moments and my family kept saying we didn’t even see him take that picture. We were nervous about not knowing how to pose. He made us so comfortable and had amazing poses. He captured intimate moments of our families reactions during the ceremony, speeches and partying. He helped the day flow so well and we couldn’t believe how amazing the pictures were. The turn around time for the pictures was also super fast. We had a bad experience with a photographer prior who ended up being a scammer and he truly saved our wedding day!! Thank you!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mary and Davidson Designs! From the moment we first met, their professionalism and dedication to making our day perfect were evident. They had a detailed intake survey to understand our vision, venue, and budget. We had a small wedding of 25 guests at a boutique hotel in DC. We received a document with theme colors, proposed flowers, and detailed item list to make sure everything matches expectations, from the types of candle votives to the color of the bouquet ribbons. The service we received was exceptional. Every interaction was pleasant and reassuring, and Mary was incredibly responsive to our questions and updates. Mary scheduled a final walk through a month before the wedding as a final check-in. On the day of the wedding, the flowers arrived right on time, exactly as promised. This punctuality alleviated so much stress, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special day. The arrangements themselves were nothing short of breathtaking. Each bouquet, ceremony installation, and the garland for our long table was crafted with such care and artistic flair that they became one of the most talked-about aspects of our wedding. The bridal party and guests were absolutely enchanted by the floral designs. Many of our friends and family commented on how beautiful and unique the arrangements were, adding an extra layer of elegance and charm to the celebration. The colors, the variety of flowers, and the overall presentation were perfect in every way. Davidson Designs truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day beautiful and memorable, especially when other florist turned us down due to how small our wedding was. Their talent and commitment to excellence shone through in every petal and every detail. We are forever grateful for their incredible work and highly recommend them to any couple looking to add a touch of floral magic to their big day!

  • Videographer
  • Documentary style

Hi! This is Andi, a videographer who, after 7 years of making news documentaries and nonprofit videos for social causes, decided to step into wedding films. My documentary works have won the Telly Awards, New York Festivals Gold Awards, and a NY Emmy. Currently serving couples in the Washington D.C. metro area and beyond. You can find pricing and package info on my website.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a better videographer for our wedding! From start to finish, Andi was professional, dedicated, and incredibly thoughtful, ensuring that our special day was captured beautifully. Right after we signed the contract, she sent us a detailed questionnaire to get to know us as a couple—our story, our style, and the specific moments we wanted to highlight. This level of preparation reassured us that she truly cared about making the video personal and meaningful. About a month before the wedding, she proactively reached out to request the venue’s floor plan, demonstrating her commitment to planning ahead and making sure every shot was perfectly thought out. On the wedding day, Andi arrived an hour early to get familiar with the space and even took some breathtaking outdoor shots before the festivities began. Her presence was so natural and unobtrusive, allowing us to fully enjoy the day while she captured everything seamlessly. Throughout the event, she worked tirelessly to document not just the big moments but also the little details and emotions that made our wedding unique. One of the things that makes Andi truly stand out is her background as a former reporter and documentary filmmaker. Her storytelling skills are evident in every frame—she has a keen eye for capturing genuine emotions and weaving them together into a narrative that feels raw, real, and deeply personal. She didn’t just record our wedding; she told our story in the most beautiful and authentic way. When we received our wedding video, we were absolutely blown away. It was beyond anything we could have imagined—every moment was beautifully filmed and edited, creating a cinematic and heartfelt masterpiece that we will cherish forever. What truly stood out was Andi’s creative touch—she included interesting and unexpected moments that showcased her artistic eye and deep understanding of human connection. Most importantly, the video felt authentically us—it captured the emotions, the joy, and the essence of our relationship perfectly. We are beyond grateful for Andi’s work, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and passionate wedding videographer. If you want someone who truly cares about your story and will go above and beyond to create a stunning wedding film, Andi is the one to choose!

Awarded Best of Zola
TL;DR - Lisa and her team did a fabulous job with our wedding florals, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was responsive, proactive in planning, and offers stunning design for very fair price points. We and our guests loved what she created. I highly recommend her! We were introduced to Lisa through our planner. The first call helped us understand how she works, what’s typical for wedding floral vendors, and what kinds of packages she offers. Lisa’s warm, a good listener, and even in the first call exudes expertise and style. Immediately confident she could do the job well. I love how she structured her proposals—she gave us an easy slide deck with colors, sample florals and greenery, vessel options, altar shapes, and other design details. It’s informative without being overwhelming, and helped us make decisions we loved. As an LGBTQ couple, it was also lovely to work with a vendor who understood how some details may be different & help us with ideas for what was unfamiliar to us. Lastly, on wedding day, Lisa and her team move quickly and almost invisibly. The space was transformed, the vision came to life perfectly, and she checked in with us and planner all throughout to make sure we were feeling good. Thanks, Lisa!

One of my life goals is to have enough dogs (dachshunds and corgis) to create a sled team. I will use this sled team to pull myself around while shooting your wedding. I’m joking, unless you really want me to, in which maybe WE should get married.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband Will and I got married in October and we planned everything together. Hands down, the easiest and best decision we made (besides going through with the marriage ;-)) was picking Chris as our photographer. He was so easy to work with from the get go. We set up a brief meeting, shared our vision (we wanted a "photojournalist approach"), and mapped out a schedule of events. Anything that we did not think to ask, he made sure to bring up and help make our vision more complete. Chris was excellent at capturing all of the tiny moments of the night without being in anyone's way. The pictures that he captured were absolutely STUNNING--the perfect amount of sentimental moments captured in beautiful lighting and silly off the cuff moments that captured the essence of each and every guest. We would work again with Chris in a heartbeat and friends have already requested his contact information for their ceremony. As an added bonus, because we did not end up using Chris for all of the allotted time, he offered to do a separate photoshoot whenever we would like. It's those little attention to details and customer service which make Chris stand out from the rest. Overall, Chris was kind, professional, quick to edit and publish photos, and an amazing photographer. You would not do wrong by hiring him!

Daryle (DJ D Mac) created the exact vibe we were craving for our wedding. After multiple postponements due to COVID, our guests were ready to dance and celebrate like never before. We asked Daryle to create a dance-club-like atmosphere where everyone could let loose—and he absolutely delivered. Every time we asked our guests what they thought of the wedding, they raved about how incredibly fun the dance floor was. From start to finish, Daryle was organized, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. His deep understanding of mixing music and his uncanny ability to read the room and adjust to the energy were particularly impressive. We also had a few unique requests, like including a drag queen lip sync performance. Daryle coordinated seamlessly with our performer, making it a highlight of the night. He also went above and beyond to ensure our first dances were perfectly timed and elegantly handled.

I'm Aimee, and I believe in wedding photos lasting forever and telling your story in a way that spans across generations. Your story might be a civil ceremony with a rainbow chuppah, just the three of us and a witness on your front porch, a gorgeous celebration with your overflowing circle of friends + family, or a traditional church ceremony like the one your parents had 40 years ago. Whatever it is, we want to capture and preserve the moments that make it special to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were a couple determined to plan our party-only wedding independently, and weren't sure we wanted to spend the money on photography. Aimee far exceeded expectations and we are so glad we went with her (in fact, we think she probably undercharged us!). In addition to the photos being absolutely gorgeous and perfectly capturing our intended vibe (private and romantic vows outside in a lush garden space, followed by a big indoor rager party), she went above and beyond just photography. She helped us plan our day-of itinerary, gave us tons of ideas to nail our vision for photos and vibe/energy, and even helped pick out our final accessories (we fondly think of her as our quasi maid of honor and best man, since we didn't have any wedding parties). I will always remember her wiping water from my bouquet on her t-shirt every time she took it out of the vase for me or playing my request hype song as she drove us from our vow location to our reception. We adore Aimee and she exceeded every expectation, and ultimately made our wedding exceed every expectation.

Making personal connection with you is important to me. I believe in serving couples from every background and the more I learn about you the better I can serve you as your wedding photographer. I currently reside in DC but have also living in LA, The Bay Area, and Morocco.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Stefan ten stars, I would. Working with him was an incredible experience from start to finish. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and for the former he traveled to New York so we could do the shoot at a location that has a great deal of meaning to us. My husband and I are not people who are usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Stefan goes above and beyond to make sure he is prepared and that you are prepared to have the best shoot possible. He has detailed guides for both engagement and wedding shoots, which were incredibly helpful. He also meets with you to discuss your goals for the shoot, get to know who you are as a couple, and understand the vibe you are going for. Our engagement shoot was on a cold and windy day in a location unfamiliar to him and he did research, arrived early, and knocked it out of the park. For our wedding day, the timeline went exactly to plan and any stress or nerves I was feeling completely melted away because we already knew Stefan was on top of it, knew what we wanted from the day, and that we had a rapport going between us. On our wedding day, our friends and family absolutely gushed about Stefan and how great he is. I can't tell you how many times someone came up to me and said, "Who is your photographer? He is AWESOME." Stefan's style is authentic and he is incredibly skilled. The photos are breathtaking without seeming unnatural or overworked. He is great at capturing your vibe as a couple and making sure that comes through in the photos. He is so easy to get along with and can make even the least photogenic among us (pointing at myself here) comfortable in front of the camera. He is a great photographer and an even more delightful human being and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.

Barbora was a joy to have photograph our wedding (and engagement photos!)! Our photos speak for themselves — she captured our day authentically and beautifully! We couldn’t be happier with how she was able to perfectly capture our joy, love and the beautiful surroundings. We really appreciated how she went above and beyond to get the perfect shot/angle, scrambling up stairs, hiding in trees, pre-visiting our venue to scope out spots, and working SO hard for such a long time. She recommended poses and reviewed our photos list the week before, which helped make sure we didn’t miss anything :) She also did SUCH a great job arranging our flat lay photos, helping organize family photos and jumping in to capture candid photos throughout the night! Not to mention, we got our photos back quickly and there were so many! She is responsive, helpful and truly a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend hiring her for any photography needs, but especially a wedding!!!

While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

Where do I even begin with this review?! Jennifer has been an absolute gift to work with throughout our wedding planning process, and now that we just go our sneak peeks back, we know we made the right choice with her! We did not use Jennifer for our engagement pictures, so I knew I was taking a risk when hiring her as our wedding day photographer. I was confident with what I saw on social media and our email correspondence ensured me that she would make a great fit for us. She was communicative along the entire way and was intentional when asking for our shot list. On the day of, it was very clear that she was very purposeful in capturing all of my preferred shots and made a dedicated effort to be present for each moment of the day. Jennifer was very professional and both her and her second shooter, Alex, found fun and creative ways to capture unique imagery from our ceremony and reception. She was attentive to our needs as a couple, made lots of great photo recommendations, and did not push us to do any pictures/poses we weren't into. Jennifer knew we wanted to be a part of cocktail hour and was happy to accommodate all of our formal pictures before the ceremony. She was discreet during the ceremony and captured lots of wonderful group shots at the reception. A week before the event she was happy to add on a few additional hours from our original contract. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

My passion for floral design began over twenty years ago in a greenhouse in a small Michigan town, traveled through the mountains of Colorado and Arizona, to the beaches of Southern California, settling in Washington, DC. Education in graphic design has helped to sharpen my attention to detail and given me an eye for color and composition.

We loved the flowers for our wedding! They worked within our budget and made the wedding bouquet of my dreams. I’d highly recommend using them for any event or wedding.

Jon took surprise proposal pictures for my now fiancé and I and we could not be happier with the photos! Jon is extremely service oriented and quick to respond which I really appreciated as it took a lot of the stress out of the planning process. The photos were absolutely gorgeous and he will also help you to plan your special day out/help with ideas to get the perfect scenic background. He even picked up flowers for my fiancé the night before so that he could bring them to the proposal for me without ruining the surprise! I can’t recommend Jon enough!

Natalie Estess Photography

Washington, DC
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,500

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!!
