Isabella Vabre Beauty is a luxury bridal and special event makeup and hair team serving clients across the Washington DC area and beyond. Led by award-winning artist Isabella Vabre, our studio is known for creating elevated, camera-ready beauty that feels effortless, timeless, and confidently you. With experience shaped by fashion weeks, celebrity clients, and the signature Soft Glam style, our team delivers a personalized, high-touch experience grounded in artistry, professionalism, and calm, supportive service. We believe in making every client feel elevated, radiant, and fully taken care of.

“I cannot recommend Isabella Vabre Beauty enough. I’m someone who is very outdoorsy and almost never does hair or makeup, so I walked into this experience knowing basically nothing — and Isabella made me feel completely comfortable from the very start. She is incredibly responsive, professional, and so kind. She has a calming presence that immediately puts you at ease, and she listens closely to what you want (even if you’re not sure how to describe it!). On my wedding day, she made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself — still me, just elevated in all the right ways. I would 100% work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist who is both technically skilled and genuinely wonderful to be around. If you’re considering booking — do it. You’ll be glad you did.”

Hi, its Jessica, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Virginia. My clients are so special that they find themselves a friend for a lifetime, not just another wedding vendor. I take time to know you! I love learning about your love story, the proposal, etc. I am hopeless romantic, so I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer! From the very beginning, they were professional, organized, and incredibly easy to work with, which immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day itself, they struck the perfect balance between being calm and reassuring while also keeping everything on schedule and flowing smoothly. They captured every important moment beautifully—from the big, emotional highlights to the small, candid details we didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. The images are timeless, natural, and full of genuine emotion, not overly posed or forced! What stood out most was how attentive and thoughtful they were—not just to us, but to our families and wedding party as well. Multiple guests commented on how kind and personable they were, yet somehow always in the right place at the right time! We are beyond grateful for these photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, reliable, and truly cares about capturing your story, we cannot recommend them highly enough (:”

“Natalia flawlessly executed and extracted my dream wedding gallery from a chaotic wedding day. Everything came out stunning, romantic, artistic, thoughtful, glamorous, and candid. I had an extremely niche mood board and very particular photographs and angles in mind. She translated every aspect of my vision into a gallery I will have forever, with timeless shots of me, my hsuband, and of course our families. Each moment was distilled --- her attention to detail and eye for emotion is almost uncanny. Combined with her taste for composition and artistic eye, I could not have made a better decision.”

We truly felt like ourselves; just elevated and glowing. She listened carefully to what we wanted and made sure we were confident and happy with every detail.

“As a bride and former wedding coordinator, I can honestly say Savannah from Mountain Mama Florals is an absolute treasure! From the moment we started working together, her kindness and genuine care made the whole process feel so special. She was patient with all my questions, open to my vision, and took the time to explain floral details I didn’t know much about — making me feel completely confident every step of the way. One of the most touching things she did was go above and beyond to over-process my favorite flower, the stargazer lily, so I could have it in my bouquet. We had someone very sensitive to strong smells, and I thought I wouldn’t be able to include it, but Savannah made sure it wouldn’t bother them. You can truly feel how much she cares about her clients and how deeply she loves what she does. That kindness meant the world to me — and my husband loved her just as much! On our wedding day, the florals were nothing short of breathtaking. I received so many compliments, and it was all thanks to Savannah’s incredible talent and heart.

My love for photography first started in a high school darkroom, but it took several years and life experiences before I took this love to a professional level. After losing a parent a few years before my own wedding, my desire to capture special moments became not only a passion but a necessity. I discovered a newfound sense of presence and purpose, as well as a desire to bring back that childlike joy that so many of us lose in adulthood. As your photographer, you can count on an experience and photos filled with intention, joy, and warmth. I can't wait to photograph your story beautifully.

From the very beginning, she made the entire process seamless by answering all of our questions, taking the time to understand our vision, and even helping us coordinate our outfits. Kelly is incredibly talented and has such a warm, calming presence that she made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.

“We can’t say enough good things about Andrea Green Events! We hired Andrea about 6 months before our small-ish April 2025 wedding, and at that point all we had was the venue and catering booked. She jumped right in, was super organized and professional, and really listened to our vision. She has an amazing professional network and helped us to secure vendors that were right for us, and made the whole process feel manageable and fun. And she saved us some money without sacrificing what was important to us! On the actual wedding day it rained, and though we hoped it would stop, we had to switch the ceremony indoors at the last minute. Andrea handled it like a total pro—coordinating with all the vendors and keeping our families calm and where they were supposed to be—so we didn’t have to stress about a thing. The day turned out absolutely beautiful, even better than we imagined, and we know that’s because of her. We ended up with a break in the rain immediately after the ceremony and guests were able to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery overlooking the water during the reception. We couldnt stop raving about how beautiful it all was, and our guests had a wonderful time. We didnt even know about minor hiccups with guests and vendors until weeks later because she made sure it was all handled. We truly couldn’t have done it without Andrea. If you’re thinking about hiring her, don’t hesitate, you’ll be so glad you did!”

Hi, I'm Rosie, and I would LOVE to take your photos! I want you to look back at your wedding album and be able to feel the love and fun - all over again - even after looking through it for the 100th time. Weddings can be stressful, so let's make this part easy! You, me, and the camera.

“By Rosie Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the first time we spoke, Rosie was easy to talk to, open to our suggestions, and had great ideas to help make our day special. Their positive attitude and confidence-building approach put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was fantastic, especially given her very reasonable pricing. Rosie was incredibly flexible, quickly adapting to some last-minute schedule changes, and made sure we got all the photos we wanted to commemorate our special day. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories she helped capture for us.”

I love how exciting and creative wedding photography can be while also giving me the opportunity to create something that is so meaningful to others. I got started with photography back in Michigan as a kid with my mom's old Minolta SLR. It wasn't until years later at art school in Kansas City that I realized how fulfilling and exciting wedding photography could be. It has been my focus ever since.

“I highly HIGHLY recommend Asa! He and his colleague photographed our December '24 wedding and they did an AMAZING job. Asa has such a calming presence and on such a chaotic and stressful day it was so, so needed. He was so wonderful to work with in the planning and helped us make a thoughtful plan to ensure we got all of the photos we wanted. We had a traditional Catholic mass and he and his colleague were able to easily follow all of the Church's rules while capturing the essential moments flawlessly. We got every photo we wanted during the mass which was incredibly impressive. We also got shots at sunset by the water and Asa perfectly captured our vision! These are some of our favorite photos. He also captured all of the energy and fun that we had and we walked away with multiple photos of every single one of our guests which was such a treat. Lastly - his pricing is so fair and really competitive to all the photographers we got quotes from. He was easily able to work with our budget and was flexible to our specific needs. Overall - I would HIGHLY highly recommend Asa!”
