Annemarie Deale Photography

5.0

Fairfax, VA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,300

Annemarie Deale is a Washington, D.C. wedding photographer who takes a balanced approach to the way she captures you and yours. With a knack for authentic storytelling, she works to capture a combination of artful, composed imagery and joyful candids that exude the energy and preserve the emotions of your event. She believes deeply that both the aesthetics of your day (which are sure to be stunning) and the spirit of your celebration deserve equal attention and documentation.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Annemarie as our wedding photographer and we couldn't have made a better choice! From the very first email, she was responsive, professional, and friendly. We met Annemarie in-person in October for our engagement shoot, and it was clear from the first interactions that we'd found someone great. She made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera and the photographs she took were absolutely stunning (and made for beautiful holiday cards). Prior to our wedding, she made time to visit the venue and make sure she understood where photography was permitted. On the day of our wedding, Annemarie arrived early with her assistant. Even though the venue was behind schedule with set-up and I was somewhat stressed, Annemarie was calm and reassuring that everything would go fine. She took stunning photographs of all kinds of details (our invitations, the rings, the flowers etc.) and also managed to get photos of our families (including 2 children and 2 babies). We were absolutely thrilled with Annemarie's artistry and we would hire her again in a heartbeat. :-)

DJ Casanova Productions

5.0

Silver Spring, MD
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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! He is kind, professional, and talented! If you are getting married, we highly recommend DJ Casanova!!

What truly drives me is the moment when my clients receive the picture, and tell me how they love them. Knowing that my work will be forever cherished by others adds a meaningful layer.

Villa was undoubtedly the highlight of our wedding planning journey. I found her Instagram profile seven months before our big day, drawn in by the captivating vibes and style of her photos. Within just ten minutes of reaching out, Villa responded. Throughout the wedding, she seamlessly integrated herself into our celebration, becoming as integral a part as any guest. Her photos are nothing short of pure artistry. From the joyous to the tears, Villa's lens captured every details that beyond my expectation.

Makeup by Kiley Smith

Fairfax, VA
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $600

As a musical theatre performer, I loved makeup – the cakey, heavy stage looks, not as much. Then, at my own wedding, I found myself in a similar predicament: heavily made up to the point of not looking entirely like myself. I dedicated myself to honing my passion for natural makeup artistry for beauty, bridal, film and TV, perfecting my craft and learning from industry experts. My work has been featured in respected platforms such as Washington Family Magazine, the Emmy Awards, and DCW50 (DC's CW Network). Now, I create timeless, skin-forward makeup looks that put my clients’ natural beauty center stage.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a headshot photographer, I need my client’s makeup to be perfectly applied. I also want my client to feel beautiful. Kiley delivers all of this and more! She’s a great makeup artist who truly listens to clients. And she’s just a lovely person.

Born and raised in Maryland, and will forever be a Maryland girl at heart. I relocated to Virginia in 2015 after graduating from the University of Maryland, College Park (GO TERPS). Now, I live in Northern Virginia with my college sweetheart, our 3 rescue pups and our baby boy. I started my planning journey in college, planning my sorority's events, along with various corporate and charity events. After graduation, I started shadowing wedding planners in the industry, learning the ever-changing world that we call wedding planning, and the rest is history! I love making couples dreams a reality!

Laura is simply amazing. She offers different clientele packages to serve everyone. She gave great recommendations regarding vendors to ensure I was truly getting what I envisioned. I highly recommend her and her team.

Jessica is AMAZING, we hired her for our wedding and also did the engagement pictures with her. I am brazilian and since she is also I thought maybe my now husband would be a little uncomfortable taking the pictures but no way, not with Jessica, the way she makes everything seems so smooth and simple makes you think you are spending a good afternoon with a friend! And her work is definitely THE BEST! On my wedding day she managed to speak both languages with my family and my guests and took so much amazing pictures that now is hard to choose! Everyone loved her job and she sent the pictures so fast that I was really impressed! From now one my dates for events with pictures will depend on her agenda. I can’t wait for the next sessions of her capturing our love!

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.

We had a great experience working with Georgette! She was easy to work with and was communicative, both in the lead up to and after our ceremony. We loved the photos she took of our elopement ceremony; we will be looking back on them with family and friends for years to come!

Regardless of the event site, size, or budget, we place a premium on attention to detail and design. We make sure the event fits your personality in every way possible. We'll work to make your dreams a reality.

I’m so happy I got the chance to work with Michelle as my month-of and day-of coordinator for my August 2023 wedding. By the time we started working together a few weeks out from the big day, I was so tired and burnt out from planning and needed the help and support that she expertly provided. She came in hot with lists, templates, spreadsheets, recommendations, everything I could’ve hoped for to support me through the rest of the prep process. Most importantly, she made sure that everything that needed to happen was done correctly, on time, and in the way we needed. She was ON FIRE on the day of the wedding. Michelle was in the zone- creating beautiful centerpieces, coordinating each step of the event, and problem solving before I even realized there was something to be done. Thank you so much, Michelle. You helped make my wedding day absolutely perfect!

The network of vendors she connected us with were all fantastic, and her calm demeanor kept us at ease and was also a huge help in soothing our parents' anxiety throughout the process. We are elated that we had the chance to work with and get to know her. Andrea is absolutely fantastic and we were trying to make a newly engaged cousin hire her during our own wedding!

Christy did my make up for my wedding and she did an amazing job. I loved my make up and it lasted all night. She is also the sweetest person. As soon as we started our conversation about what I was looking for she put me at ease. She was truly so easy to talk to and very good at what she does. I have no regrets. I tried 1 other make up artiest and didn’t feel very comfortable with her. So, I choose to go look else where. She had a bride already booked on the day of my wedding and squished me in that same day. She was timely as promised and got me out in time to get to my venues for pictures. I can’t say enough good things about Christy. If you are looking for a make up artiest, please look no more! Christy is the one! Thank you again Christy!!! God bless you and your business!

OMG! I absolutely love Katy. From the initial appointment to determine what our vision was for the wedding and reception decor, I felt very at ease with Katy. Katy took great care to try and learn what my vision was for the wedding and how to use her expertise to create what I wanted. I liked that - and this enabled us to truly create a custom one of a kind look for our big day. Katy was kind, accommodating and responsive to emails, texts and phone calls. I would bounce things off of Katy and without hesitation, she would first clarify what my vision was, and then add her input based on her expert eye for detail, color coordination, etc. On the day of my wedding, I broke down into tears at the beautiful, dreamy atmosphere that Katy and her team had created for my spouse and I. It was literally everything thing I had dreamed of; it had the glitz, glamour, bling, sparkle, romance and more than I wanted. Katy even added touches here and there that she felt were needed to add more beauty to the venue. She exercised her creative rights. My guests could not and have not stopped talking about the beauty of it all. Additionally, a few days before the wedding, I was not pleased with a mock up of my bouquet (provided by another vendor) - and Katy to the rescue! Within about 3-4 business days, Katy and her staff PERSONALLY delivered the most beautiful, sparkling bouquet that I have ever seen (along with a jr. bouquet and corsages). She made it her business to make me happy. I am truly sad that I won't be talking to Katy as much any more since the wedding is now over. Katy delivered on ALLLLLLL levels and I can't say enough about her. Thank you soo much Katy. You will forever be a better part of our memories. If you have the pleasure to work with Katy, you will not be disappointed, I promise you. I really felt that Katy put her heart into this....and the results show it. ​

We are a team of creative professionals who specialize in coordination, design and planning. We offer full, partial or month of wedding planning and design packages. We also do bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, retirement or engagement parties. Our design team provides full and partial venue design and execution.

Create You Events was the reason why our dream wedding became a reality!! My husband and I consider ourselves to be good planners, and like other couples, we thought we could make do without a wedding planner. We were only looking for a day-of coordinator when we reached out to Create You Events. We interviewed Vicky and realized the value she could provide us throughout the planning process. We quickly changed our stance and hired her as both our day-of coordinator and wedding planner. This was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The amount of time and mental energy saved was beyond worth it. Vicky and her team's guidance kept us on schedule and organized during our nine-month timeline. Vicky was able to handle all obstacles in stride. No challenge was ever too big for her, and that calmed many of our nerves. What sets Vicky and her team apart is their ability to complement the areas that my husband and I lacked. We were transparent with those aspects which we weren't as prepared for and our budget constraints, and they would always found solutions or presented us with alternatives that met our needs. There were countless times when Vicky would save the day by bringing up things that we wouldn't even consider! She was great with vendor management and helped identify vendors that fit our criteria. In addition to Create You Events' planning and coordination service, we also opted for their decor services. What was the most dreaded part of planning for us was no longer a challenge. Trust me when I say they made all of our worries go away when it came to decor and signage. We were able to provide our vision and they delivered on every little detail. The arrangements and signage fit the elegance of our theme and venue perfectly. It was a huge benefit having a team that already understood our vision and was attentive to every request. Where do I begin for the day-of coordination? Vicky and her team were the calming force to our chaotic day. We wanted to maximize our day, so we planned our timeline down to the minute. From their planning, they set up our day so that we didn't have to make any major decisions. All we had to do was follow the timeline they put together for us. This allowed us to enjoy our day and appreciate the little moments we would have otherwise missed. Even when things that were out of our control went array, Vicky and her team didn't even flinch from the pressure and were quick to find a resolution, having no impact on our day. Simply put, we couldn't have had a perfect day without the involvement from Create You Events. The planning, decor, and coordination was stress free for us and allowed us to allocate our time to other areas that required more of our individual attention. Vicky and her team were incredibly easy to work with and we felt comfortable enough to share all of our circumstances with her. We will always give the highest recommendation to Create You Events to our friends and family for their wedding and/or any major event. We are still left in awe by how they were able to listen to our vision and run with it. We definitely won't miss wedding planning, but will miss our planning calls with Vicky. Just knowing we had the certainty and guidance from her made us feel like everything would be alright. Vicky, can we still have calls with you to help us plan the rest of our life? Hands down the best wedding

Working with Serena was AMAZING! While I received vendor recommendations for many aspects of my wedding, I specifically asked my planner about Serena after coming across a few pictures of her former clients. From our very first trial she proved open to creating the look I envisioned with the least amount of fuss. Because my mom was so nervous given her own hair insecurities, Serena’s MOB hair trial was able to put my mom’s heart at ease knowing she’d look perfect the day of our wedding too. But honestly, THE MOST IMPRESSIVE part of this all, Serena styled all NINE ladies in my party (both moms included) by herself morning of our wedding. We were on time, not rushed, did not start at the crack of dawn, everyone looked amazing! And as we look at our wedding photos, EVERYONE comments on how flawless my hair looked even as we walked out the door at the end of the night! Trust me....this is your vendor!

While working in the dance industry I got the chance to film various dance performances and events and many hopeful new couples preparing for their first dance. I also have a YouTube channel I run and do my own editing for. I really got immersed in that process and it felt relatively familiar because I was used to photo editing. Putting them both together was a no brainer at that point. And thus, Aprebs Video Creations was born! Reach out to me about filming for your wedding today!

From the beginning when we had our first phone call with Andrew to go over our ideas and thoughts, we knew we were in good hands. He was so communicative and positive. We both felt very comfortable working with him. The day of our wedding he was thoughtful, kind, and did not make it feel awkward at all. My now husband is not big on being on camera, but Andrew was able to get all the shots we wanted, and we had such a great time having him around, it was like having a friend taking our video vs someone we found online and hired. He was so helpful and even asked moms if they were doing okay or needed anything. It really meant a lot to us to not only get the best video of our wedding that we could have asked for, but to feel so comfortable while everything was being caught on film. Thanks so much Andrew!

I would recommend Tania to anyone who wants a photographer that cares about making your wedding special!

As a wedding photographer by passion & an aerospace engineer by day, I bring a unique perspective to my photography. I am incredibly detail-oriented, hardworking, & I truly believe everyone deserves quality photos to look back on of special moments in their life. My goal is to deliver luxury, editorial images that capture the true essence of your love story. I approach each wedding with a fresh perspective, knowing that every couple is unique & deserves to have their story told in a way that is true to them. So count on me to take charge when needed & when I'm not - to keep on authentically & artfully documenting your day.

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!

One of the things that has really stuck with us is this: not only do you need to love your photos, but you also need to love the photographer. You'll be spending the majority of your day with this person.

Looking for a sign that you’ve found the right photographer and your search is over? Look no further than Photos from the Harty! Our search turned up countless potential photographers, but our interview with Photos from the Harty sealed the deal. They are so personable and fun that we knew they would fit right in at our wedding - and they did! They were with us during every moment from intimate to silly and they made us feel super comfortable as if we were being photographed by longtime friends. The best part? The love and happiness that we felt during our wedding day is felt in every single photo. They captured our wedding day so perfectly that when it came time to hire a photographer for maternity photos and family photo shoots - there was no question who we wanted (and those photos all turned out perfectly, too)!! They have our highest recommendation. Stop looking and hire them, now!

Chaya did our family photos. As you can imagine, it was chaos. We had 10 people in our home who came to meet our newborn. We wanted this special moment captured as this was the first grand baby. I remember sweating and running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, but the whole time, Chaya remained so calm and concise. She kept saying "don't worry about the pictures or what people are doing, that's my job." She took that added pressure right off of my shoulders.

I can't recommend Cicely and Jason enough. They were communicative, collaborative, and just genuinely great people. They were really open to trying out anything that we really wanted to do and brought plenty of experience and helpful ideas to the table from the start. Their ability to capture the tiny details and a much broader sweeping view of our day really was the sell for us. And they weren't afraid to really get into the middle of a rager and capture moments you'd have never known about otherwise. Photography is so embedded in capturing your day that having creative people you really enjoy working with is critical. Years later, Cicely and I still message each other to check in. I genuinely can't express how great getting to know and work with them was for us. Cheers.

Events by Tyra is a black-owned, woman-owned wedding and event planning service provider based in Maryland. All are welcome! We offer full service planning for the couple that wants to make decisions, but doesn't want to be bogged down with all the details. Partial planning is available to couples that want to be more hands-on with hiring vendors and handling details, but might need just a bit of help when it comes to design and vendor management. Wedding management is perfect for couples that have already selected their vendors, planning their wedding, and are looking for help for the last couple months leading up to the wedding.

I rarely meet anyone in life that is as Type A and detail-oriented as I am, but Tyra was my match. I've done a lot of event planning in my own career, but you really can't be your own planner especially in the weeks leading up to the wedding on the day itself. Tyra thought of absolutely everything I needed her to think of and more! And no matter how well a wedding is planned, there are always weird things that pop up as you get to the finish line and during the wedding itself--Tyra handled all of those so my hubby and I could enjoy the day. She had absolutely everything covered to the point that I actually felt a bit guilty about how little I did because, hello, that's my personality. As for Tyra's personality--well, she's the best. Super duper friendly, professional and like a good BFF, not afraid to give it to you straight. Highly, highly recommend. P.S.--This was a second wedding for my hubby and I, and it was a very small group. If you figure you don't need a planner because your wedding is going to be intimate, you're wrong. Trust me when I tell you that you still need someone to coordinate with the vendors, make sure the ceremony musicians aren't dead, talk you through a tuxedo crisis, and literally sprint to jump into your officiant's car, who is lost and driving around the mall looking for the venue. ;)

It's hard to do anything but rave aboutUche and her team - Uche is incredibly creative, a consumate professional, and moreover just an all around awesome human being to work with. From the beginning, she was super responsive and took the time to help me figure out the look for my wedding (I wasn't starting from much - just knew I wanted a "secret garden" type feel). In our first conversation alone I knew she had a vision, and told her to go with it. The execution was so far above and beyond our expectations that words can't describe it. I loved and really appreciated the thoughtful proposal Uche put together (and changed several times at my annoying requests), but I really couldn't have imagined how beautiful everything would be the day of. We got married at District Winery, and Uche and her team took FULL advantage of the blank canvas-esque space, complete with hanging greenery installations and the most beautiful altar piece I've ever seen. My bouquet was also gorgeous - as were my bridesmaids', and the boutonnieres were amazing. I honestly had friends coming up to me telling me they loved the florals even more than what they had at their own weddings! Not only was the end result day-of perfect, but I know that Uche and her team worked tirelessly to get it done. When we had our rehearsal at the venue the afternoon before, they were there getting a head start (what other wedding vendor would do that!?) I could go on forever about how incredible Uche is (like the fact that she hosted my mom and I at her studio for over an hour to patiently talk through details, even as she was prepping for a big wedding the next day), but the bottom line is that if you want top notch creativity and professionalism all in one, you can't go wrong with Designs by Oochay. One final thing - a friend/guest of ours happened to be a former client of Uche's, and Uche made a specific point to find her at the end of the evening to say hello and give her a hug (which my friend was super excited about), even though it was after midnight and she was trying to disassemble everything - which I thought truly showed how warm and gracious she is, as well as how much her former clients love her!

The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you lean your heads together during the toasts. This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It's about celebrating the start of a new family. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day and I hope you'll choose me to be a part of yours!

Brigitte is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Her keen eye and sense of detail, added with her bubbly personality and ability to make you feel like her best friend legitimately is the perfect recipe for the best photographer. She is talented, down-to-earth, and full of so many amazing ideas and qualities that you NEED in your photographer. If you hire her, you will definitely not be disappointed.

He is one of those people, who feels the vibe and atmosphere of the party and can help you out with posing, if you dont know how to move, he can make you laugh and catch the moment.

We don't typically write reviews, but we want to share how invaluable Imagine It! was in planning our wedding--from helping us develop the vision to the day of execution. Dariya and Andrea were extremely, thoughtful and detailed to approaching our wedding and reception planning. They ensured the day illustrated our vision but still provided insight and guidance that helped to bring everything together. Due to weather, we had to make some pretty significant changes. The Imagine It! team walked us through a very detailed Plan B that we ended up leveraging. Thank God we listened! It's been over 5 years, and our friends and family still talk about how beautiful and fun our wedding events were. We are grateful for Dairya and Andrea's patience and expertise.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Ten Twenty Seven Films to create our branding video and on a styled shoot. HIGHLY recommend! So professional, easy to work with and make you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera (for our interview-style branding video). During the styled shoot, we barely knew they were there. They capture shots in a way that's discrete, which is definitely what you want on your wedding day so your guests don't get distracted from watching you during the ceremony! The final product for both of our projects together was amazing. A talented team that anyone would be lucky to work with.

HEY THERE! MY NAME IS KLAIRE, AND I'M A FINE ART WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED RIGHT OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON, D.C. Elegantly refined details and family heirlooms make my heart pitter patter on a wedding day. I take on a select number of weddings every year to treat every couple with the utmost care as if they're old friends - I always cry happy tears on wedding days! I am eternally grateful to work with couples and capture beautiful images on their wedding day. My highest priority is to strengthen marriages with imagery that will remind them of how their unique story began.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful we had Klaire shoot our wedding! She was everything we wanted in a wedding photographer and more: professional, talented, very organized, experienced, and CALM. Her presence on our wedding day was one of joy and calm, which helped us relax and enjoy the day even more. When something would throw the schedule off, Klaire was able to adapt quickly and make it all work out without any stress, which was truly a gift. She captured more beautiful shots than we could’ve asked for and shared so much valuable advice from her experience with weddings throughout our planning and the day of the wedding. We 100% recommend Klaire!
