Holly Johnston Photography

Hey there, I’m Holly! I’m a wedding and engagement photographer based in Roanoke, VA, and I’m all about capturing love stories in the most authentic and heartfelt way possible. My photography style is raw, emotional, timeless, and fun. Whether I’m photographing a tender moment between a couple or the spontaneous laughter during a celebration, I strive to capture the genuine connection and joy shared on your big day. There’s nothing more rewarding for me than freezing those fleeting moments so you can relive them for years to come. If you’re looking for a photographer who can capture your day as it unfolds, I’d love to chat!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I originally chose Holly for my photographer because we had a very specific theme for our wedding (Destiny the video game). It must have also been Destiny that she played the game and was familiar with the theme. Also, she was amazingly flexible and willing to work with our budget. Her correspondence with me was always quick and prompt. Even when it came to getting my professional pictures and sneak peaks all back, I was told it would be up to 2 months for return, but she had them back in only a week or two's time. Unfortunately, (as these things sometimes happen) Holly was not able to actually come do our photos due to getting extremely sick (which no one can help), so we had to have a stand in photographer named Justin. I know we (including herself) were all bummed she could not be there considering we were all excited and familiar with the theme. Despite not having Holly, Justin was still very nice to work with and did an amazing job. I did notice that the best pictures (of course) were the ones he had time to actually position and pose us for. I think my biggest regret was I wish I had had more time and funds to pay for more time for him to pose us and take these more less candid photos. I was sad to find that we missed out on getting individual photos of my daughters and all four of them on their own. Also there were no photos of my husband with his second oldest daughter which really upset her... But again, I don't blame the photographer for this. It really was chalked up to a lack of time. Also, one of my daughters changed into more comfortable clothes during dinner so that took away from us being able to get the nice pictures I had wanted. So I can't emphasize enough that I don't blame the photographers for this at all... It was just one of my biggest regrets on my part of the night. I again, wish I had built more time and been able to contribute more money to more pictures that could be done in this manner. I definitely recommend this team. They are so nice and do their best to check off all of the boxes that you want. They work with you and are quick and efficient with what they do.

Caroline did a phenomenal job with my wedding hair and was everything I could have hoped for in a hairstylist! From the start, she was incredibly personable and made the morning so much fun for me and my bridesmaids. Despite having a big bridal party of nine, she was timely and efficient, making sure each of us felt beautiful without ever feeling rushed. When it came to my bridal hair, she brought my vision to life perfectly—it was everything I dreamed of and more! Not only is she insanely talented, but she’s also a total girl’s girl. She came prepared with a bag full of things we didn’t even know we’d need throughout the day, making her a lifesaver in so many ways. Her professionalism, fun personality, and attention to detail truly set her apart. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be part of my wedding morning and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

  • Serves Buchanan, VA

My approach is defined by the Henry Saint-Jean Films signature, a commitment to documenting your day rather than directing it. Supported by the production power of Piximpress company, I blend seamlessly into the background to capture unfiltered, authentic moments as they naturally unfold.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first meeting with Henry at Piximpress, we knew we were in great hands. He took the time to really get to know us as a couple and made us feel completely at ease. Henry walked us through his approach with clarity and care, and his attention to detail in planning our wedding video gave us total confidence leading up to the big day. On the day itself, Henry was a calming, unobtrusive presence—he blended in seamlessly while still managing to capture every heartfelt moment. He worked so smoothly with our other vendors and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran effortlessly. When we received our final videos, we were blown away. The way Henry pieced everything together was nothing short of artful—the pacing, music, emotions, and storytelling were all spot-on. It felt like we were reliving the day, but with even more appreciation for the beauty in the details we may have missed in the moment. Henry’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for his craft stood out from start to finish. We feel so lucky to have worked with him and cannot recommend Piximpress enough to anyone looking for a deeply thoughtful, talented videographer.

We cannot recommend The Planning Bee highly enough! We hired Lauren to help with our pre and post wedding events, and she went ABOVE and BEYOND our expectations. We consider ourselves highly type A and on top of pretty much everything, and she still was able to point out things we missed or hadn’t considered. Because of her we were able to fully relax, trust and let go because we knew we were in good hands. We didn’t lift a finger at either of our events and got to truly enjoy our time with our loved ones. Lauren was our favorite vendor out of everyone we worked with and we are sad we won’t be working together in the immediate future. However, whenever we have party planning needs in the future, she will be our first call! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Lauren! You’re incredible!

Quest Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Buchanan, VA

The next time your guests see you, their first thought will be your wedding. The music, the laughter, the moments that made it unforgettable. That's the kind of core memory Quest Entertainment creates for you and every guest in the room. From a DJ who reads the room and keeps your dance floor packed, to photo booths, silent disco, oversized games, and even putt-putt, every guest finds their kind of fun. Based in Roanoke, Virginia, we bring the full experience so you can just live in the moment.

I cannot recommend Dj Dewey enough! From start to finish, they went above and beyond everything I asked for. They were professional, responsive, and truly cared about making our event special.

Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Buchanan, VA

We, Jame and Eva, started Nitty Gritty Gardens in 2019 with a dream of pursuing our love of farming and flowers. We started by selling our flowers at farmers markets and branched out to weddings and other special events to share our love with others and to be a part of their special day! We strive to bring your vision to life to make your wedding day exactly what you picture!

We couldn’t be happier with the florals from Nitty Gritty Gardens! They created all of the arrangements for our wedding and did an incredible job. The flowers they chose fit our color theme perfectly and tied everything together so beautifully. We received so many compliments from our guests, and it truly made the day feel extra special. Highly recommend Nitty Gritty Gardens to anyone looking for gorgeous flowers for their wedding!
