Tiffany and her team were absolutely incredible to work with! She shot our wedding in April 2024 and from start to finish was helpful and communicative. We got our teaser photos very quickly after the wedding and all of our photos following that quickly as well.

Katie was a breeze to work with! I am not big on real flowers and wanted something that would represent my husband and I. Her prices are comparable to real flowers and are even more lovely! I love that her flower designs mimic real flowers and that foliage was an option. She took the care to make sure I had what I wanted and sent me multiple pictures during the process and of the finished result before we picked them up for the wedding. She accepted my feedback and made changes to the bouquets to match my vision. I still have my bouquet and my husbands boutonniere as keepsakes that remind me of our special day. I would use her services again and again!

I entered the Event planning market seven years ago through catering and setting up for events. I quickly learned that I loved being by the bride and groom throughout the entire event and watching their special day come to life. Getting to know the couple through the entire process and watching their dreams evolve into the wedding of their dreams stole my heart. It’s my pursuit to take all the stress off your plate and help you build the event of a lifetime. I truly want to become your best friend, go to person, planner, and even a punching bag when things just might not be going well that day, throughout the entire process

I want to give a HUGE shoutout to my wedding coordinator Chloe! She made everything so easy for me, stress free, and created the day of my dreams. From bringing me & my bridal party drinks during photos, to setting up ALL of my decor, bringing my purse (and a groomsmen she found asleep at the venue) to the hotel & she even cleaned the ENTIRE venue for me so my hungover Sunday self didn’t have to.If youre getting married soon I 1000% recommend reaching out to her. One of the sweetest, most genuine, hard working people I have ever met.

My name is Nichole and I’m the Lead Photographer behind the Captivating Lens. I started my full time professional photography journey back in 2013. My Husband Jake is my amazing second shooter and started photography back in high school working with film. Our style is very romantic and soft. I'd say we are very up close and personal shooters and the goal is to take photos that you can feel.We create an artistic approach to telling the story of your special day. From the tiny details to the last kiss, We will be there to document your love story.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with The Captivating Lens for our wedding at Blandy Experimental Farms on May 25, 2025—and we couldn’t be more grateful for their incredible service. From the start, their professionalism and ease of communication set them apart. On our wedding day, they made us feel like nothing else in the world mattered but us. They created such a calming and joyful atmosphere that we were able to be fully present and truly enjoy every moment. One of the most meaningful moments happened even before the big day. We had selected a location on the venue grounds that we felt was perfect for photos. The Captivating Lens took the time to scout the location in advance, and after assessing the lighting, they kindly explained why it wouldn't be ideal for capturing the kind of photographs we’d want to treasure forever. That kind of care and honesty meant the world to us—it showed how deeply they value the quality of their work and their clients’ memories. We would recommend The Captivating Lens over and over again to anyone looking for a photographer. With them, you're not just getting stunning photographs—you’re gaining a team that genuinely cares, listens, and is fully invested in making your special day everything you dreamed it would be.

Hi there! I believe weddings and elopements are so much more than a "smile at the camera" event. My aim is to document genuine 'in the moment' experiences among beautiful backdrops. It's all about the jitters, the breathless moments, and above all, the powerful love and connection that takes part on your biggest day. I take a photojournalistic and documentary approach making sure to focus on the candid moments while embracing the stunning location you've chosen for your big day. Nothing matters more than those fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Brittany to take our engagement photos and she did such a wonderful job on them! We were super grateful when she agreed to shoot our wedding as well. She came prepared with a lot of great ideas for poses and suggestions on how to make the pictures look more natural rather than planned out. She was able to capture our day perfectly, making sure that while she was focused on key members, she would also get pictures of the guests. She did a great job at capturing candid moments and was always on the move to get the best angle. She also did a great job at keeping us all laughing so we didn’t get any awkward forced smiles. She did an amazing job both times we hired her and at such a reasonable price (especially offering military and law enforcement discounts). I will be using her in the future! Thank you Brittany!

I am Carolina Schierholz, the owner and Chef of Sweet Carolina Cakes Studio. I create trendy wedding cakes for couples in Fredericksburg, Northern Virginia, and Maryland. I have 16 years of professional expertise and a background in art and design. All my cakes are custom designed, so you can experience the legitimate luxury of having precisely what you want. I will work closely with you to bring your ideas to life. From the first consultation to the delivery on your wedding day, I personally manage every detail.

I met Carolina at a wedding expo in 2021 and collected her information. Soon after I contacted her to arrange a time to do a cake tasting for our wedding. She provided samples of our choosing plus other samples to try. All of the samples were tasty and it was a difficult decision to narrow down the choices, but we did it! We ended up choosing two flavors for our wedding cake. I picked the Italian Cream, and my husband chose Banana Nut. I created and added the Wedding Cake Topper, and added wooden flowers to the cake. One of the things that Carolina offers is a small one year anniversary cake freshly baked instead of saving the top tier of the wedding cake to eat later. As we enjoyed our anniversary cake, we instantly took a took a trip back to our wedding day. Fast forward to 2024, and I contacted Carolina again to create some magic for our baby shower cake with one layer as Banana Nut and the second layer as Tres Leches. I asked her to create a jungle themed cake and provided a picture as an example. She came through once again and it was enjoyable to eat. For both the Wedding and Baby Shower, Carolina created our cakes like the pictures and it was quite tasty for both occasions. She is also a great communicator and I did not feel lost during the process at all. We will continue to use her in events to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
I want to start off by saying to those who are unsure about spending the money on a videographer: you’ll never regret having those videos, but you will forever regret NOT having them. Wow — where do I even begin? Working with Armando, Amanda, and The Fourth Film Team has been absolutely phenomenal! They are so kind, patient, and above all, incredibly talented! I spoke with several videographers before hiring The Fourth Film. I was so impressed with the care and time Armando spent speaking with me during our consultation call. I love how he had creative ideas for setting the scene for the video that reflected my own unique relationship with my partner. It felt like a creative collaboration. On the day of the wedding the team was helpful, positive, unobtrusive, and diligent. My partner and I wanted more of a candid Film style. The Fourth Film team absolutely has delivered and totally understood our vision. They fully respected that we did not want to be taken away from the celebration for staged moments. Above all, I’m absolutely amazed at everything I’ve seen so far, and the turnaround time has been so impressive! The Fourth Film’s video editing quality and story telling ability is above and beyond what I hoped for, and their price point is far below what the quality of their work deserves!

Hi, I'm Liz! I'm based in Lynchburg, VA. I moved here from Los Angeles where I studied Fashion Design and Merchandising. Photography has been a huge passion of mine since I was in middle school but one class in college that really sparked my interest again. When the Pandemic hit, I was 6 months pregnant and starting to realize that I didn't enjoy my job anymore. I was so tired of working 50-60 hours a week and realized the most important thing to me was to be there to raise my child. So, that was that and here I am.

Working with Rustic Rose Photography was the best experience! She completed both engagement and wedding pictures for us. I am not someone who loves to be in front of a camera, but Liz uses really natural prompts to make you feel like yourself and feel good. At my wedding, she was really supportive and even checked in with me to see if I needed water or food. She’s always prompt and fun to work with. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made when wedding planning. I can’t wait to scheduled more sessions with her in the future because she has a way of capturing the warmth of a moment in such a special way.

On the wedding day, when the bouquets arrived and filled the space, they were stunning and added that pop of color we were looking for. They were even more breathtaking than we could have imagined - fresh, vibrant, and perfectly arranged, capturing the essence of our day with such elegance. Every detail was meticulously handled, and the quality of the flowers was exceptional. The Faded Poppy played such a significant role in making our wedding day feel magical and beautiful. We received countless compliments on the flowers, and they looked absolutely incredible in al our photos. We wholeheartedly recommend The Faded Poppy to any couple looking for a truly talented and professional florist who will bring their floral dreams to life for the big day! Thank you again for everything! Sasha and Jonathan Thomas

Tori Parker Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Afton, VA

Although Tori lives on the east coast, her art & lifestyle is largely inspired by the west coast. Tori grew up just outside Los Angeles and her art reflects the airy, relaxed and purposeful atmosphere that exists in the Golden State. The Tori Parker team intends for their photos to reflect a similar air: relaxed but with a powerful undertone of golden hour hues and genuine joy. When Tori isn't taking photos or managing her amazing team of associate photoghers, she enjoys intentional time with Jesus, watching New Girl with her husband, being outdoors with her dogs, and eating the spiciest thing on the menu.

We immediately knew we were going to book Tori when she sent us a reply from our inquiry. She was so down to earth and genuine compared to the other vendors we had communicated with beforehand. She was able to fit an engagement shoot into a very small window of time we had that spring. She was a LIFE SAVER on our wedding day. A lot of things were not going to plan but Tori made sure my husband and I were having a good time and laughing throughout the day. Tori and her team know how to make sure the bride is prioritized and moments are captured. My favorite picture Tori took is when my husband and I were snuggling in a blanket during the reception because it was so cold. We weren’t posing or even aware she was there. She captured the small moments as well as the big ones during our day. We’ve gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the photos turned out even when it rained and there was so much going on. Tori’s photos captured our love so well. We can’t recommend her and her team enough. We love you Tori- CC
