Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph. I’m always delighted to travel wherever your love story takes you—even an Aspen winter elopement. That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
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

Greetings! My name is Lionel and I am a full time traveling photographer from New Jersey that specializes in Weddings and Events on the east coast. I've been practicing both photography and videography for going on 10 years now and from the moment I picked up a camera I absolutely fell in love with it. Its difficult to not sound cliche but capturing once in a lifetime moments and then seeing the reaction of clients and their families is a rush and satisfaction that you just can not get anywhere else. Not everyone in life is able to realize their passion but I am thankful that I have found mine and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Willow Creek Event Planning is a fast growing, women-owned business that specializes in Event Planning, Coordination, and Photo Booth Rentals. With our background in corporate planning, our initial introduction into the wedding industry was a match made in heaven. Since then we have been partnering with couples all over the DMV (and beyond) to ensure seamless, memorable events.

We hired Willow Creek Event Planning to support the day of coordination for our wedding in March. They did an excellent job communicating with us and our other vendors. They were on top of every detail on our wedding day and everything we had planned happened successfully. We had inclement weather on our wedding day and they were on top of any changes that had to be made and communicated with everyone at our venue. Their communication was clear and professional. I really felt like they took a load off our shoulders on the day of the wedding, which allowed us to stay in the moment and enjoy the day. Thank you so much to Emory and Sarah at Willow Creek Event Planning for helping make our wedding day extremely memorable and amazing!

I honestly don’t even know where to begin! After being scammed by another planner, I was desperate to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about making my wedding special. And then I found Lauren. From the moment we started working together, she went above and beyond in ways I never imagined. Not only did she handle every detail with such professionalism and care, but she also took on so much more than I ever asked of her. As a DIY bride, I was feeling overwhelmed, but Lauren stepped in and completely transformed the space with her incredible decorating skills. She turned my vision into reality, and it was absolutely stunning. Every little detail was handled seamlessly, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her attention to detail, organization, and creativity truly exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful for everything she did to make my day perfect.

Paperboys

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $5,495
  • Serves Charles City, VA

Paperboys is a boutique wedding film/photo agency located on the ‘skirtz of Washington D.C. We started down this regal road in 2014 and we have the mountain of harddrives to prove it! We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

Just wow!!! Absolutely incredible team from start to finish. We had hired paperboys to be the videographers for our Maryland wedding we had originally planned during the pandemic but we unfortunately had to cancel. They were graceful enough to even give us our deposit back when we made the devastating decision to postpone and they were so kind and understanding during that time. 3 years later, we finally get a new wedding date but we’d moved to Jersey City by that point. We were so excited to have them for our first wedding that we reached out to them again to see if they were free and thank God they were - they traveled to NJ for our new wedding date. And the excitement we received from them to still be part of our new day was so heart warming. And from then, the team was so organized, prompt and reliable in their communication. Always full of enthusiasm with every email, it definitely stood out how sweet they always were. And the wedding day hadn’t even begun yet. Then we got blessed with Laura as our videographer for the wedding. Right from the start of talking with Laura, she was so lovely and polite and again equally as enthusiastic to work with us. She arrived early to set up and got straight to work. She worked so seamlessly alongside our photography team also to get the best shots of us. She made us feel very comfortable throughout the day to get those real candid moments and would even cheer us on when she caught a good shot. Then the teaser video that came out a few days later and wow. We cannot stop replaying it, it was just spectacular. It captured the fire of the day perfectly and made us feel like movie stars. We could not be more excited to see how the final video turns out when she’s done. We are beyond grateful and blessed to have had this amazing team to be the videographers for our day. I could not recommend this team more to anyone’s upcoming wedding, especially if Laura is your chosen videographer! We love you guys!

The digital photo booth was a huge hit with our guests, providing lots of fun and hilarious memories to look back on. One of the best features was the online account they provided us with. It made the whole planning process very easy. We were able to select our must-have songs, categorize our music preferences, and communicate everything clearly with the DJ.

Ricki was the absolute best investment I made in my wedding. She was so easy to work with and is single-handedly the reason my wedding went off without a hitch. From our first meeting to loading up decor at the end of the wedding day, she was amazing, enthusiastic, and professional. She went above and beyond in dealing with vendors and took so much off my plate. She also saved my mental health in the months/weeks leading up to the wedding, not bothered by my many questions and random thoughts and happily answered them all. She took my random thoughts and my very rough vision for decor and ran with it. I was stunned and amazed when I saw how everything turned out. She also was amazing in dealing with an unhappy venue staff member at the end of the wedding, ensuring our evening was perfect. So much so that we didn’t realize anything had happened until the next day. I cannot recommend Ricki and her team enough!!

Hi, we are Peter & Jessica! We believe that you have to know love, to be able to witness it in others. Love has so many forms and shapes. You can find it through friendship, through dating, through marriage and parenthood. You can even learn from it through heartbreak. Each stage allows you to unlock a new level of affection and care. Believe me, we speak from experience. We are here to witness and help you preserve the most dear and happy moments of your life. Your wedding, your love, your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
During the planning process, I mostly spoke with Jessica. She was very friendly and flexible with the initial meeting phone call, and I felt very comfortable talking to her. She made the contract very easy to understand and worked with me to pick the best package that would suit our wedding needs. She was helpful with answering any little questions I had along the way in the lead up to the wedding. Peter was photographer for the day of the wedding and I’ve never met anyone so friendly and comfortable to be around right away! I loved working with him and he was able to be very efficient while still getting amazing quality photos. I wanted to eat and rest after the ceremony, so I really really appreciated the efficiency! I know that he would also be great for people who want to take their time with their photo sessions, because he listened to any suggestions I made and would take his time when needed. He took a bunch of great shots during the reception, showing how much fun all of our friends had on the dance floor! If you’re looking for professional, friendly, down-to-Earth photographers, go with Jessica and Peter Cenzalli!!

I had a great experience with Jon and would highly recommend his services to others that are looking to hire a photographer for a surprise proposal. I contacted Jon through his website less than three weeks before I was planning to propose. I received a response within a few hours, had a call with him to work out the details within a few days. Jon had great suggestions for my proposal plan and was able to provide example images of other proposals he had captured at various locations. The examples he provided were very helpful in my planning and gave me assurance as to what the final product would look like. Jon contacted me the week of the proposal to confirm final details and was responsive via text the day of. He was prompt and was at the location at the planned time. Initially was hidden in the background allowing the proposal to still feel intimate and private. He captured great pictures of the proposal, and you would have no idea other people were in the area by looking at the final pictures. Jon exceeded expectations in capturing photos after the proposal. He provided clear instructions and the photos turned out great. The photos were made available to us online within hours which made it easy to share with family and friends. Overall, Jon was responsive, easy to work with, and captured high quality photos of a very special moment.

My name is Naytza Pato, I'm from Puerto Rico, bilingual and living in Virginia for 12 years. I am passionate about decoration,coordination and planning because I believe they have the power to transform spaces and create meaningful experiences. It all started when 5 years ago I became the event coordinator of my church. We've been in official business for two years now and I LOVE what we do. Ultimately, what fuels my passion for decoration and planning is the ability to bring beauty and meaning into people's lives. It's the joy on someone's face when they walk into a space I've decorated and feel a sense of wonder or nostalgia.

From the moment we started planning our wedding with The Bliss & Co LLC, we knew we were in good hands. Naytza and her team were incredibly friendly, fast to respond, and highly professional throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day special was truly above and beyond. Naytza was amazing to work with - she made us feel reassured that everything would go smoothly, kept us informed every step of the way, and even came a day early to be at our rehearsal. Her great communication and ability to keep us on schedule made the whole experience stress-free. We would highly recommend working with The Bliss & Co LLC for any couple looking for an amazing wedding planning experience.

I love knowing that we make sure our clients’ wedding or event is not just a great memory, but an amazing experience that they will cherish forever.

I am a professional wedding coordinator turned queer bride and I was worried about finding a good DJ for our wedding. Many wedding DJs give me second hand embarrassment and create a cringey homecoming-y vibe. Also, we had a guest count of just 47 so we were worried about finding a DJ who could get the dance floor moving with such a small group. Frank was everything we were looking for and more!!! Frank absolutely BLEW US AWAY with his professionalism, talent, and personality! In meetings he was attentive, explained everything in detail, and really worked to get to know us as a couple instead of just a cookie cutter one size fits most format. QUEER COUPLES THIS IS YOUR DJ!!! As a queer couple, we were in search of vendors who would make us feel safe and welcome through the whole process. We absolutely found that in Frank! He was open and understanding of pronouns, identities, and family dynamics. He truly cared and listened to us about each and every aspect! We felt truly celebrated, safe, and welcome! On the big day everyone was telling us how well they could hear everything during the ceremony (it was outside and windy) and we gave alllllll the credit to Frank’s high quality equipment and skill. My spouse and I kept talking about how good of an announcer he was and how well spoken he was. Zero cringing on my end (which is HUGE for me)! His lighting and set up was professional and elegant. It didn’t take away from the rest of the decor while still lighting up on the dance floor beautifully and made for the perfect dancing atmosphere! Once it was time for dancing he kept the party going until the last song even with our small guest count! We had a blast and Frank played a MASSIVE role in that! He worked seamlessly with our planner and designer, Mia, with Little Acorns Events who recommended him! Our timeline, experience, and vibe was perfect thanks to their collaboration!!! We couldn’t possibly recommend Frank with PTEG enough! Trust me he will be the highlight of your event!

From the very first conversation, their communication was great, informative, and easy - they clearly cared about understanding our vision and making sure we felt prepared and comfortable throughout the process. On the day of the wedding, they were a dream to work with, helping us feel natural and at ease in front of the camera. The resulting photos are stunning - we are so impressed by the amazing, high quality work they delivered. He truly captured all the special moments and details that made our day so unique and memorable. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

Dj Bess and Dj Tony were a great addition to our wedding day and we loved having them Dj our wedding. From booking them to the day of, the whole process was smooth and super enjoyable. Vince did a great job communicating with us and even giving us tips on things he’s experienced that helped make our day even more special. He went above and beyond our expectations and was worth every penny. From supplying us with sparklers to dance floor lights, and even a custom monogram, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. He did a great job with music selection despite having some issues with communication with our coordinator and while there was some confusion on a few announcements and some of the transitions, the overall experience was phenomenal! Hire hire hire! Compared to any other DJ, he gave us the most bang for our buck

I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

We have now used J Grey Media for multiple events and have loved to work with them every time. We got their wedding videography package and it was incredible! Every time we watch our video it immediately brings us back to that moment. Juan is incredible to work with, produces excellent quality, and has always delivered the finished product faster than anticipated. We'll be booking more events in the future for sure
