Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Altavista, VA

Your wedding day should feel like you, relaxed and joyful, surrounded by the people you love most. It’s about real moments, laughter, happy tears, and the quiet in between times that make the day truly yours. I take a documentary style approach to capture those moments as they happen, so you don’t feel like your day is just a checklist. I step in when needed, like for family formals, but mostly focus on letting you enjoy your day while those candid moments unfold naturally.

Awarded Best of Zola
Emie did such an amazing job capturing all the special moments from my big day! She made me and my entire bridal party feel so comfortable and at ease all day long. We detailed a plan together a few weeks before, and she came prepared and ready to photograph everything I was wanting. She was extremely gracious and accommodating as the weather caused a few hiccups in our original plan. She delivered my photos in a timely manner and everything came out BEAUTIFULLY. Her pricing was also extremely reasonable and affordable. I would recommend Emie to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She's the best!

Little Acorn Events Co 

4.9

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Altavista, VA

Little Acorn Events Co is a full service wedding planning, design, & production company based in Charlottesville, Virginia. We specialize in curating meaningful celebrations & distinctive guest experiences, steeped in beautiful design. Your engagement is a special and finite experience, culminating in a celebration with those you love. It is our true privilege to plan & produce luxurious wedding designs abundant with intentional touches & thoughtful details for a distinctive guest experience. Telling your love story through creative design begins with mindful relationships with our couples & a dedication to your wedding like no other.

Working with Mia and Little Acorn Events was the best decision we made during our planning process, hands down. After a very rocky start to our planning process with another wedding planner, we were extremely skittish to hire another planner, but after our first call with Mia, her genuine care for her couples and belief that everyone deserves a joyful and low-stress engagement came through so clearly. Mia has the lovely combination of being immensely capable and a delight to spend time with, which is important when you are deciding someone you will spend so much time working with and who will be by your side on your wedding day. We sincerely looked forward to our calls and meetings with Mia, and having her calm and joyful presence by our side on our day was a gift. Mia's hard work and kind personality mean that she has an amazing reputation with local vendors. Having that history of trust and good will as the basis for our relationship with the vendors meant we got to work with the very best local vendors who were excited to be a part of the team. We had some big life changes happen during our wedding planning season and Mia was understanding, flexible, and allowed us to focus on the fun parts of planning while taking the most stressful parts off of our plate. She took our day seriously and treated it with the utmost care, while seeing the big picture of life and not feeding into the wedding industrial complex :) One of the best parts of working with Mia is her intentionality in creating moments throughout the day where you and your partner get to soak in the moment and be present. We had seen her calm confidence and skill throughout the planning process, and so had the trust established to simply be able to relax, enjoy the moment, and take it all in when the day came. And isn't that what it's all about?

Uncommon Cakes 

5.0

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $60
  • Serves Altavista, VA

Uncommon Cakes specializes in unique and custom flavors (think Crème Brûlée, Cardamom Strawberry, Brown Butter Bourbon Peach, and Chocolate Earl Gray Hazelnut) for cakes, cupcakes, and other treats for your wedding or other celebrations in central Virginia (Charlottesville, Nelson, Amherst, Lynchburg, Crozet, and surrounding areas).

We first had Amanda's cupcakes at our venue tour of Lovingston Winery. We bought four: two to eat and two to take home. Well, that didn't happen. They were so delicious, that we inhaled all four, and then two more that another couple bought us in celebration of our engagement. I am not exaggerating when I say that these are the best cupcakes you will ever eat. The flavors are so fun, creative, and DELICIOUS (and she's able to customize them), and they're the perfect amount of sweetness. Plus they're beautiful! We got cupcakes for our wedding instead of a cake just so we could have more flavors. When I tell you it was nearly impossible to choose our top three, I mean it. We had notes and multiple discussions on which flavors to pick because they were all so good. We even ended up having three more flavors for our rehearsal dinner because we couldn't decide. All of our guests absolutely loved them (even those who "don't like cake"), and the few that were left at the end of the night were perfect for us and the bridal party to snack on as an afterparty treat. Amanda was super accommodating, communicative, and the sweetest person too! I cannot recommend her enough!!!!

Christian of Music, Music, and More Music was incredible at our wedding!

He played a great mix of songs based on a small list of recommendations and had everyone dancing all night. We had multiple pleople come up to us after the wedding sharing it was the best MCing that they have seen at a wedding. Easy to work with, we highly recommend!

Kara is officially one of my favorite people! I knew this was magic in the making from our initial makeup trial, but she really floored both myself and my bridal party with her incredible skills. I asked her to keep it light and preserve my face and she legitimately made magic. I couldn't be happier with the result, and wish I could just keep a Kara in my pocket at all times! She is insanely talented, very sweet and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a multi-fasceted makeup artist!

Rustic Rose Photography

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Altavista, VA

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.

Tori Parker Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Altavista, 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

Jordan photographed our engagement session and our wedding in 2020. She was wonderful to work with during those events. We had no idea where to take engagement photos, but she gave several recommendations to help us choose from a list of places in our area with spectacular scenery. She gave us a check list for the day of the wedding, so it helped the entire process to run smoothly since we were prepared with the items to be photographed, a list of desired photos, and a timeline. Our engagement canvases and wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and well prepared photographer!

My photography journey started in high school, photographing church and community events. From there it was natural transition to begin offering photo sessions to my friends and family, and so Joy Shots was born in 2014.I was privileged to shoot my first wedding for a friend in 2015 and I have since had the honor to photograph over 50 weddings. I love the chances I have to work with couples from their initial engagement session through their wedding day, through capturing their growing families down through the years. To me the people I get to connect with year after year with Joy Shots are more than customers, they are a part of a family.

We were thrilled with Erika and Joy Shots Photography! Erika's communication was clear, vibrant, and quick - she always responded promptly to any questions we had leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Erika was professional, fun, and respectful. She made sure to capture all the special moments while keeping things light and moving smoothly. Erika was often there when we couldn't find our planner, stepping in to keep things on track. She really went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect and we got amazing photos to remember it by. The quality of Erika's work shows through in the vibrant, joyful photos she captured. She helped me with my veil and bustling my dress multiple times. She had my change of shoes when my feet began to hurt! She even let me borrow sunglasses for some super fun pics. We'd HIGHLY recommend Joy Shots Photography for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to beautifully photograph their special memories. She was the best vendor we hired at our wedding, by far.

Kanded LLC

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Altavista, VA

Hi! We're Kiersten and Enrique, the faces behind Kanded! Our vibe summed up in three words: Creative, Inclusive, Emotive. Since childhood, we've both had a strong love for art. Enrique's small town upbringing and love for writing infuses our images with warmth and nostalgia. Kiersten's passion for photography started as a young child on her Polaroid where she began her creative visual storytelling. When we're not creating, you'll find us on the hunt for vintage treasures, sinking our toes into the sand (and missing our beloved cats), or enjoying quality time at home with our three adorable fur babies: Ellie, Lola, and Jax.

I recently had an engagement session done with Kanded, and it was everything I could have asked for! I had a very specific vision in mind, and Kiersten and Enrique nailed it. From helping pick a location, doing camera tricks to help achieve the look I wanted (think dreamy vintage fairytale)- they were so helpful and attentive every step of the way! An added bonus is that you’re getting two photographers for the price of one, so you can’t go wrong booking with them :)

He was so accommodating and was willing to work with us to have my friend involved. He was so kind and was SO fun to listen to and made everything personal. His calm demeanor was exactly what I needed amidst the stress of wedding planning, and his humor was the perfect anecdote for anxiety. We highly recommend him and his services. :)

The Blossom Farm 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Altavista, VA

As a flower farmer-florist, I grow many of the flowers used in the weddings I service. I love hearing the unique stories of the couples I work with, and tailoring designs that reflect their life and fit their vision for their wedding. My designs are all about you and not about my farm, so I incorporate a blend of my farm's flowers and out-sourced florals to meet design needs, seasonal availability, or specific color requests. Crafting distinctive floral arrangements is my passion. I am proud that each wedding I've serviced is one-of-a-kind. I can't wait to meet you, learn about your vision for your wedding, and prepare a proposal for you.

I can't say enough about Jan from The Blossom Farm—she is not just a florist; she is a true artist. From our very first meeting, it was clear that her creative vision would transform our ideas into something grandiose, modern, and uniquely beautiful. Jan's dedication to her craft is evident in every detail, both before and on-site, ensuring that the flowers truly shine. She has an incredible knack for asking all the right questions, offering expert advice, and suggesting ideas that enhance the overall aesthetic. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her deep knowledge of flowers, color combinations, and compositions is truly impressive. If you're looking for a florist who combines artistic flair with exceptional skill and professionalism, Jan is your go-to. She turned our event into a floral masterpiece and made the entire experience unforgettable!
