Hey! I’m Rebekah Vijay. I’m passionate about creating story-directed artistic and emotional films to capture the most special day of your life. After all, at the end of the day, it’s memories that we die with. My goal is to capture the honest and true essence of your wedding day by candidly capturing the big moments and everything in between. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about myself, it’s that I’m a storyteller. I love having the great gift of documenting amazing couples as they celebrate their love from engagement, to wedding day, to a life full of love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our family has been undoubtedly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Rebekah! We had just received our final film and no words can accurately describe how beautiful it turned out by capturing our most special and treasured memories from that day. Working with Rebekah has been a blessing from the start - her communication was outstanding and very much appreciated in that from the moment I had sent out an inquiry to when we had gotten our final film, Rebekah had always checked in with us, given us updates, and I never felt any detail was overlooked. Every moment I had expressed I wanted captured during our calls were all included beautifully in the film that I felt perfectly represented our wedding day. More so, we were given our sneak peak trailer so quickly after our wedding day! Moreover, Rebekah has made us feel so comfortable and I had felt so confident with her that I was able to be fully present and not worry about absolutely anything on our big day. If youre considering Rebekah, please please don’t hesitate! It will be nothing short of a blessing to work with her

Pick A Bloom-Preserved & Dried Florist-Shipped Nationwide

  • Florist
  • Serves Amherst, VA

Pick a Bloom was founded on love and laughter in small-town Surry, Virginia by us, a mother daughter duo, who wanted to see our vision of fresh flower alternatives bloom to life. We work primarily with 100% REAL preserved and dried flowers and foliage.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Paula and Samantha pretty down to the wire of our wedding, but they immediately jumped in! We contacted them on Friday, and they had our proposal ready by Monday! Our flowers fit our vibe perfectly: I wanted something to pull from the venue's brick, but not look too "autumny" for our January wedding, and they nailed it! They look and feel like "regular" flowers, but they'll last forever and have so far held up perfectly! We're gifting a number of our pieces to our mothers and grandmothers as keepsakes from our amazing day, while saving the rest to display around our house! We're so happy to have such beautiful mementoes to remember it by!

I have unofficially been the family photographer for years. Whether it be formals or family reunions, I’m usually the one behind the camera. The two things I value most are my family and our memories. What better way to engrain a memory than having it in a timeless photo? That leads me to where I am today! I am here to learn, grow and along the way help other people freeze their memories in time, as I do my own. When I’m not behind the camera or with my nose in a book, I am with my two fur babies; Sadie and Nash; my life partner and best friend, Isaiah; or my family. Thank you for stopping by and I hope to meet you soon!

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

J.J.Ash Events and Designs

  • Planner
  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Amherst, VA

Introducing J.J.Ash Events And Designs, your premier partner in crafting unforgettable wedding experiences throughout D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Led by the seasoned master planner, Ashanti Neal, our team is dedicated to translating your individual style into a celebration that reflects your essence. At J.J.Ash Events And Designs, we thrive on building genuine connections with our clients, taking the time to understand your vision and aspirations intimately. Ashanti and her team are passionate about guiding couples through every step of the planning journey, infusing each detail with creativity and precision.

Working with J.J. Ash Events and Designs for a Jacksonville wedding was an absolute dream. I was the cake artist, and Ashanti handled the florals. When the bride shared her vision, I immediately thought of Ashanti because I’ve worked with her before and absolutely love her work. She’s one of the rare designers who can balance creativity with realism while delivering flawless execution. For this wedding, we had to transform an inspiration photo into a glam-style red wedding design, and Ashanti absolutely delivered. The bride wanted florals showcased inside acrylic tiers for the cake—a unique and challenging concept. These acrylic tiers had to be sourced from London, measured precisely, customized with Ashanti’s florals, and transported from Virginia to Florida and survive 3-4 days. Not only did the floral design make the journey, but it also held up beautifully throughout the wedding. The result? Stunning florals that tied the cake seamlessly into the overall wedding design. The bride was overjoyed, the guests were amazed, and I was blown away. Together, we created a once-in-a-lifetime piece for a deserving couple and seeing the bride’s ecstatic reaction made all the effort worth it. Ashanti’s talent speaks for itself, but what truly sets her apart is her professionalism. She’s communicative, detail-oriented, and incredibly down-to-earth. She knew exactly how to bring the vision to life and worked closely with me to ensure every detail was perfect. Honestly, I couldn’t have pulled this off without her expertise. Good on J.J. Ash for requesting reviews from vendors and guests—it’s a smart move that highlights the joy they create for couples. I’ve seen Ashanti and her team work tirelessly through weddings, sometimes staying until the very end (I’m usually there past the cake cutting, haha!). By the time the dust settles, the couple is married, their photos are stunning, and their videos capture every magical moment. Reflecting on those moments reminds me how much of a privilege it is to be part of such special events. As a vendor, I appreciated how communicative and organized Ashanti was throughout the process. She asked all the right questions, provided clear instructions, and made herself available if I needed clarification. Unfortunately, not everyone in this industry is that dependable. I’ve seen vendors drop the ball, fail to respond, or avoid accountability—but not J.J. Ash. Ashanti and her team were on top of every detail and worked to have all vendors comply and work together seamlessly. Their dedication and professionalism made this collaboration a joy, and the end result was nothing short of magical. Their results don’t lie—J.J. Ash Events and Designs truly delivers excellence. Hats off to Ashanti and her team for creating unforgettable moments for their clients. I can’t wait to work with them again! — @ButtercreamPlease • Modern wedding and celebration cakes

Still Do was so helpful and professional from the very first meeting. We booked for just videography services.

Matt, our backup videographer, is amazing! He stepped in a few days before the wedding with professionalism and positive energy. He captured every detail in perfect style. I just had a little bad experience with how they deliver raw footage unprofessionally. Folders and clips are messed up and disorganized. But our experience with Still Do Media is incredible. We are always thankful for making our wedding such a memorable and joyful experience!

We absolutely loved working with Stephen and Rosie! The video they made of our wedding day was better than we could have imagined and their eye for detail and composition is unsurpassed. From the first time we talked with them on the phone we felt absolutely at ease and knew they were the right decision. This is a team that loves love and is so gifted at capturing all the little details that make a wedding video so special. I really appreciated that the voices of us and our loved ones were recorded and used through the video. They asked what was important to us and made sure those people and moments were captured in our video. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors, were always so kind, and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. My husband is camera shy and was nervous that he would feel like he was being recorded all day. After the wedding, he said he didn't even notice they were there, which is wonderful since they captured him laughing and smiling all day. I would absolutely recommend them for your special day!

Having Lauren and Travis capture our day was the easiest decision we made during our entire planning process. They kept our day organized and flowing. Though we knew Lauren and Travis beforehand made it much more special, but even if we hadn’t known Lauren and Travis before our wedding, I know they would still have made us feel comfortable and at ease the whole day. We were speechless when we received our video, it was absolutely beautiful. It was like we were reliving the day all over again. They couldn't have captured our story any more perfect. It was very moving in its seriousness of how we feel about one another yet still had an upbeat and fun characteristic to it; it was a perfect blend of both moods. Don’t hesitate to book Laureland Films for your wedding, elopement, adventure, etc. The amount of creativity and quality they put into YOUR story is beyond measure. We cannot recommend them enough.

Abigail photographed my Halloween themed wedding in 2021 and absolutely knocked it out of the park. The photos were beautiful, working with her was so easy, and the turn around time on the pictures was incredible. My husband and I get constant positive comments on the photos and we will treasure the captured memories for years

Hi, I’m Annie! Welcome to HoneyAnne Photography! I'm based in both Southern California and Virginia—sounds a little unusual, I know! My photography style combines the timeless elegance of editorial imagery with the heartfelt authenticity of documentary photography —each gallery is designed to feel like your favorite magazine spread or Pinterest board! I believe that everyone deserves beautiful, film-inspired photos that capture their story. HoneyAnne Photography was inspired by the golden warmth of honey. Much like the taste of honey is comforting and sweet, I want your experience with me to feel warm, inviting, and unforgettable.

HoneyAnne Photography was a delight to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was clear, bubbly and friendly, which made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. The quality of their work was truly amazing and worth every penny. They went above and beyond to contribute to our special day, bringing fun props, scouting the venue ahead of time to find the best spots, and even drawing inspiration from our vision. We found Annie online and were immediately drawn to her whimsical and stunning photography style. Once we started chatting, we hit it off right away - she is so personable and easy to talk to. We booked her for our engagement photos and had a blast doing a fun picnic-themed shoot. I have already recommended HoneyAnne Photography to another bride, and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Hi there. I originally hail from Georgia, but am so happy to now call Charlottesville my home. When I'm not chasing down perfect sunlight, you can usually find me tucked away somewhere with a book, writing, enjoying life with my partner Charles, styling my 1920s home, or snuggling with my Frenchie pup, Finny.

I wish I could give Audra 11 stars. She was the hands down BEST choice for our wedding. We were so lucky for Audra to work with us for a boudoir, a Catholic ceremony, a rehearsal dinner and our wedding. Looking back I feel SO grateful that we chose to work with her. She tells your story through her lens in a way that feels so much more than just "a photo". She is an artist in every form of the word and she is brilliant at her craft. I feel like every photo she takes could have a poem or heartfelt story attached. Everything is so intentional and beautifully crafted. She is so good about making you look natural, unposed and authentically you. She is so much more than I could have ever imagined our wedding photographer would provide. She worked closely with us on timeline, making sure everything was comfortable, she paid attention to what we liked or didn't like. She is a girls girl who was an ear to listen or hear out my wedding day worries and always reassured me that she was going to have our vision played out and SHE DELIVERED! All the work Audra posts is so beautiful, and let me tell you, when its you within her art, it is hard to believe that your story can be told in such an artful, intentional and meaningful way. We considered getting a videographer at one point, and after our Catholic ceremony, I felt like her work could tell the story just as well. It felt like we had the entire day planned out. The details, the candids, the emotional shots, photos of my in laws, the hands of our grandparents, the way the light was shining in the stained glass windows that morning, just every detail was captured and flipping through the photos felt like breaking down the day into bite size pieces that we could take in slowly and treasure forever. Audra was always on time, always prepared and I am so grateful that one of the only things I will be able to take with me from my wedding day(s) will be the photography she so artfully captured so we can remember as many details as possible (because it truly does go so fast). I cannot say enough good things, she was hands down my favorite vendor and if you love the work you see, I promise you, she can make that happen for you too. I truly cannot believe some of her art work is us and I will cherish it for a lifetime. Also her husband did some behind the scenes for the Catholic wedding and it was the sweetest surprise to see those little moments, again captured so intentionally and giving such a well rounded feel of the day. I believe he may do some content creation and I would highly consider him if there are some extra moments you would like to have. I am forever grateful! I would pick her a million times over.
