The photos are stunning and timeless, each one telling a story and bringing us right back to those special moments. What truly set Michelle apart was her ability to seamlessly blend into the events while still capturing every important detail. She managed to be everywhere at once without being intrusive, and her calm demeanor was a steadying presence during such a busy time. She was a safe face/person that weekend for sure! We are so grateful to Michelle for not only her work but the friendship we have created with her! She gave us memories we will treasure for a lifetime, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

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!

When we started our search for photographers, we knew we wanted to work with someone we "clicked" with because that would translate to us being comfortable in front of the camera. I remember the first call with Demetric and just feeling such a sense of ease compared to other photographers we had spoken with, which continued into our first meeting in DC. His flexibility and advice through our planning process was so helpful too. 

 On our wedding day, Demetric made us and our guests feel so comfortable -- this is such a gift to any couple on a day that is fueled by all of the emotions. Demetric's thoughtfulness, guidance, and joy were so special to have as a part of this day. And while we got to experience someone with such a relaxed demeanor, we know his focus is always on the details of the compositions and capturing unique images in his beautiful style. Demetric's work is incredibly dynamic and his photos are so rich -- we are counting down the days to see more photos from our wedding day! 

All in all, if you want someone who is going to roll with the punches, give you awesome ideas, and make you feel at ease, Demetric and his United Photography team are the way to go!

From the very first conversation with Tiffany, I knew I was in the best hands to bring the wedding of my dreams to real life. Tiffany is not only incredibly talented and professional, but one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet. She made me feel like a high priority and without any encouragement or reminder, she was always brainstorming decor ideas for my wedding. She wanted to hear about our love story and understand our vision, and somehow, she turned all of that into a stunning wedding plan that reflected us in every detail. She created a beautiful vision board right after our first meeting that instantly brought our ideas to life. I wanted blush and gold details throughout the wedding but on a budget. From there, she built a timeline that made the entire process feel so much more manageable. I was able to enjoy the months leading up to the wedding stress free because I knew I was in good hands and cared about our wedding as much as I did. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but she kept me grounded with monthly reminders, gentle check-ins, and clear guidance on what needed to be done and when. On the actual day there were a few hiccups (like an issue with our cake vendor), but I didn’t even know until after the fact—because she handled everything quietly and gracefully, without ever letting it affect the joy of the day. She also set up the décor more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. Walking into that space and seeing everything come together so perfectly took my breath away. I was able to enjoy the day of the wedding by peacefully getting ready and being present with my family without having to be concerned about vendors or wedding set up. I can say without a doubt that anyone would be so lucky to have Tiffany as their wedding planner/day of coordinator. I truly can’t imagine this experience without her, and I’m endlessly grateful for everything she did to make our day as magical as it was.

She was extremely nice and answered all of my questions with patience and expertise.

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!

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, play, and warmth. I can't wait to photograph your story beautifully.

My fiancé and I are so happy we chose Kelly for our engagement session! 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. She captured us so naturally and truly brought out the best in us. When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. Every photo was stunning, and we'll cherish these memories forever.

Every arrangement was so thoughtfully designed and perfectly matched my theme, colors, etc. The groom’s boutonniere and bridesmaids’ bouquets were soooo elegant, and just so beautiful in person and in photos. I was obsessed with my Calla Lily bouquet! I’m so grateful for her talent and professionalism, she truly goes above and beyond. I would recommend her a thousand times over!

Alexandria, VA
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 15
  • Starts at $300

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.

We got married under the oak tree during a light rain. It was perfect! The gardens were in bloom and everything was beautiful. The staff was awesome in letting us customize our space and we really liked the tent. The venue is in a convenient area, and they have a recommended vendor list. We went with Main Event and you should too!
