Tiffany and her team were absolutely incredible to work with! She shot our wedding in April 2024 and from start to finish was helpful and communicative. We got our teaser photos very quickly after the wedding and all of our photos following that quickly as well. The editing was amazing, all of the photos were so well thought out and the attention to detail was so amazing to see. We are SO happy with our wedding photos!!

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!

Katie was a breeze to work with! I am not big on real flowers and wanted something that would represent my husband and I. Her prices are comparable to real flowers and are even more lovely! I love that her flower designs mimic real flowers and that foliage was an option. She took the care to make sure I had what I wanted and sent me multiple pictures during the process and of the finished result before we picked them up for the wedding. She accepted my feedback and made changes to the bouquets to match my vision. I still have my bouquet and my husbands boutonniere as keepsakes that remind me of our special day. I would use her services again and again!

I entered the Event planning market seven years ago through catering and setting up for events. I quickly learned that I loved being by the bride and groom throughout the entire event and watching their special day come to life. Getting to know the couple through the entire process and watching their dreams evolve into the wedding of their dreams stole my heart. It’s my pursuit to take all the stress off your plate and help you build the event of a lifetime. I truly want to become your best friend, go to person, planner, and even a punching bag when things just might not be going well that day, throughout the entire process

I want to give a HUGE shoutout to my wedding coordinator Chloe! She made everything so easy for me, stress free, and created the day of my dreams. From bringing me & my bridal party drinks during photos, to setting up ALL of my decor, bringing my purse (and a groomsmen she found asleep at the venue) to the hotel & she even cleaned the ENTIRE venue for me so my hungover Sunday self didn’t have to.If youre getting married soon I 1000% recommend reaching out to her. One of the sweetest, most genuine, hard working people I have ever met.

  • Photographer

Hi there! I believe weddings and elopements are so much more than a "smile at the camera" event. My aim is to document genuine 'in the moment' experiences among beautiful backdrops. It's all about the jitters, the breathless moments, and above all, the powerful love and connection that takes part on your biggest day. I take a photojournalistic and documentary approach making sure to focus on the candid moments while embracing the stunning location you've chosen for your big day. Nothing matters more than those fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Brittany to take our engagement photos and she did such a wonderful job on them! We were super grateful when she agreed to shoot our wedding as well. She came prepared with a lot of great ideas for poses and suggestions on how to make the pictures look more natural rather than planned out. She was able to capture our day perfectly, making sure that while she was focused on key members, she would also get pictures of the guests. She did a great job at capturing candid moments and was always on the move to get the best angle. She also did a great job at keeping us all laughing so we didn’t get any awkward forced smiles. She did an amazing job both times we hired her and at such a reasonable price (especially offering military and law enforcement discounts). I will be using her in the future! Thank you Brittany!

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.

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more. On your wedding day, you shouldn't have to worry, cause I am there to help you in every way possible. I make sure your dress is all nice and fluffed in every picture, that there is nothing in your teeth, I catch every fly away and I am there to be your hype girl.

Grace was an absolute gem of a human on the day of my wedding and leading up to it. I can't get over how stunning the photos are just from the sneak peek gallery. She has such an eye for unique shots and is amazing at directing you as well as your overly-stimulated new husband. We coordinated a ton of surprise aspects and were able to pull them off with Grace's help. She also ended up fixing boutonnieres, ensuring my hair looked amazing before each shot, and worked so well with our videographer, planner and all other vendors. I can't wait to see the full gallery and can't recommend her enough!

Natasha Lamalle Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Charlottesville, VA

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

Awarded Best of Zola
Natasha gave us more than just photographs, she gave us an exhilarating experience. She took us on a beautiful dance in and out of crowds through Union Station. Capturing the essence of our joy once my wife and I placed eyes on each other for our first look. Then taking us to Union Market to bring us and our friends together, capturing tender moments of joy and laughter. And finally, our wedding, where singing, dancing and love was reflected in every photo of not only my wife and I, but also those that were there to celebrate with us.

Rainey Day Bouquets

  • Florist
  • Serves Charlottesville, VA

As I prepare for my own wedding in April of next year, I was taken aback by the exorbitant costs associated with floral arrangements. Quotes ranging from $6,000 to $7,000, with a minimum commitment of $4,000, were simply unfeasible for me. This led me to explore alternative solutions, and I discovered a passion for creating my own florals. I was delighted to find that I had a knack for it! This experience sparked the idea to launch my faux floral rental business, driven by the belief that beautiful wedding florals shouldn't come with an astronomical price tag. My goal is to make stunning arrangements accessible to all.

Awarded Best of Zola
While I didn’t use her for a wedding — I most certainly will once I get married! Morgan’s floral arrangements are so well done that I asked to purchase some to decorate my home. Her customer service and attention to detail is out of this world. 10/10 recommend.

Usually when working with someone you consider family, they will take advantage of the situation and not always give their best or be professional. Not in this case. Kevin went above and beyond for us. He captured our beautiful moment in such a way we will always be able to remember. He listened to our vision but also put his twist to it.

When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

Kelsey Cuervo photography began out of a love of art and a proclivity to create, and evolved into a passion for capturing genuine connection in an artful way. I approach my clients with a desire to capture their genuine connection using their love story as my source of inspiration.

There is nobody we would have rather had with us throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. Judging from her other work, we knew that we would be getting a stunning final product, but what you can't see in her pictures online is how friendly she is, how comfortable she makes you feel behind the camera (I was particularly nervous our first go around for the engagement shoot), and how well she directs and manages people to create her magic. Now for the product! My wife and I sat down together when Kelsey sent us the final photos and it genuinely took us back to our wedding day. She captured both the emotion and the beauty of it all so well, and we now have these pictures to look back on for the rest of our lives. We feel so lucky to have her as our photographer and friend.

We came across Alaaeldin while searching online through various wedding websites, aiming to find a photographer with positive reviews, reasonable pricing, and an impressive wedding portfolio. After interviewing several photographers, we had the pleasure of connecting with Alaaeldin, who impressed us right from the start with his profound knowledge of photography and the entire wedding process. Along with his team he provided us with valuable guidance and materials from the planning stage up until the wedding day. This was incredibly helpful especially for a new bride-to-be like myself whether or not we had a wedding planner. One thing that stood out was his pro/con list regarding whether or not to do a first look. This list played a significant role in helping my husband and me make our decision. From the moment we booked Alaaeldin and his team, they were highly responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication was remarkable even during weeks of no communication, Alaaeldin would send a quick note to check in on how I was doing and if I needed any assistance. He even sent a thoughtful text the day before the wedding reassuring me that he was there for me if I needed anything at all. Initially, I was apprehensive about posing correctly and being conscious of having a double chin in the photos – silly, I know! However, he made us feel so at ease that we ended up going with the flow and posing naturally in the moment. They created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making the entire experience fun and memorable. We genuinely felt like we were spending time with lifelong friends. For future couples considering Alaaeldin's services, we have some valuable advice to offer: 1. Don't miss the engagement session; it's a must! and 2. definitely consider getting the photobooth! Our guests had an incredible time, and it added an exciting and lively element to the celebration.

Kierstin was my sister's wedding planner. My sister Alyssa had a same intimate wedding on a plantation in Hawaii. Kierstin made sure the wedding went great and She got reinvolved in with the other wedding guest and made sure everyone had fun time. I was my sister's maid of honor and I strongly felt relieved that my sister and I did not have to worry about anything. I would highly recommend her for your next event.

I am thrilled that you have found your way here. Working in a creative field like photography, I have such an appreciation for movement and connection and meaningful, timeless images. It’s been my goal since becoming a full-time wedding photographer to deliver to my clients enduring images that can be appreciated by their children and grandchildren. Photography is about capturing that perfect moment but it is also about providing a positive portrait experience for my clients so that they not only remember the images but they remember how much fun they had making the memories.

I can’t recommend Joanna enough! She has done ALL of our photography and we did not hesitate to have her as our wedding photographer. When I say our pictures came out BETTER than I ever could have dreamed of, I mean like a million times better. I recommend her to all of my friends!
