  • Beauty professional

  • Starts at $100
  • Serves Claremont, VA

Darling and Dapper Studio isn’t just a salon; it’s a haven for confidence. Founded by Elizabeth Darling, whose own journey of self-discovery led her to create a space where beauty is cultivated from within, rather than just painted on. Here, amidst the plants and warm, cozy ambiance, a team of experts don’t just style brides for their wedding day; they empower all individuals to radiate confidence that extends far beyond the salon. With each brushstroke and hairstyling flourish, they build a canvas of inner beauty, reminding every guest that their worth shines brightest from within.

Awarded Best of Zola
As the bride, I wanted to capture the fleeting, unforgettable moments of our big day (while looking my absolute best) as I’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation for an incredibly talented hair and makeup studio from a family member who used Darling and Dapper for her wedding in October of 2024. After reading the different artist descriptions on the Darling and Dapper website, I knew Taylor Shira and Carolina Updegraff were going to be a perfect fit for what I was looking for on the day of the wedding! Taylor and Carolina exceeded my every expectation! What struck me most about Taylor was her ability to help create a calm, inviting atmosphere on the day of the wedding. She is such a sweet, energetic person with such a positive personality to boot. What struck me most about Carolina was her ability to recreate the exact makeup look from any inspiration picture you show her. She is such a sweet, warm person and she and Taylor are the exact kind of people you want to spend time with on what is typically a very overwhelming day! Their attention to detail and artistic eyes brought out the true beauty in myself and all my bridesmaids. I truly have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day thanks to Taylor and Carolina. Taylor and Carolina are not only a master with any hair or makeup style you throw at them, but they are also true professionals. We chose to get ready in the bridal suite of our hotel and they both arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel truly at ease throughout the whole day! Their level of communication is impeccable as they were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) and truly listen to what you were hoping to achieve with your look, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. With our wedding being an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia, I was slightly nervous that my makeup was going to be ruined before we even made it to cocktail hour, but Carolina worked tirelessly to support my dream of having my desired look (and boy did she succeed)! Taylor worked tirelessly (up until I left the building to walk down the aisle) to support my dream of having cascading curls down my back and cascade (and last) they did! My six bridesmaids all chose different hair and makeup inspirations and were all extremely pleased with their work. Working with Taylor and Carolina has been an absolute pleasure from my bridal hair trial session to the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of bridal hair and makeup! I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary hair and makeup and an unforgettable wedding day! - Mrs. Canavos

It doesn’t get any better than Signature DJs. We booked Signature DJs for ceremony/reception music, Photo Booth, and uplighting. Brandon and Kellie were more than helpful during the wedding planning process. Signature DJs periodically sent me emails to remind me of anticipated steps to keep me on track. I had already booked my Day-Of Coordinators, but had I not I definitely would have booked Kellie! On the day of our wedding, Signature DJs arrived early and easily set up. Meredith with the photo booth was amazing! Our guests loved the customized photobooth strips! We are so glad that we booked Signature DJs because our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without their services!

Calm, on time, and completely taken care of, that is exactly what Cedrian is known for. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cedrian is a phenomenal HMUA. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding in Dallas and again for our vow renewal ten years later in New Orleans, and I could not have been happier with the results! When there was a miscommunication with a bridesmaid, she was quick to clear it up and was accommodating and professional. She’s also just really fun to work with, lol. If you’re looking for your sign to hire her, DO IT! She’s been booked out pretty far in advance both times which should tell you something!

Hello!! I am Camille! I am passionate about preserving every moment from your special day - particularly those intimate moments of togetherness amid the crazy! ❤️ I am an introvert and more on the quiet side, but I can wrangle a crowd if I need to. 😉 If you like goofy comedies, folk and pop music, and loving people how Jesus does, we'll get along just perfectly! I accept everyone and take nothing too seriously! I prefer to capture everyone in sweet and candid looking moments rather than being traditionally posed but I do a bit of both! I would love to get to know you and your future spouse - just send me a message any time!

Awarded Best of Zola
Harvest Moon Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Camille was fast to respond, accommodating to our needs, and always maintained a positive and excited energy. Her communication style was just what we were looking for - she made the whole process feel seamless and stress-free. The quality of her work is truly flawless, with a beautiful, candid, and dreamy aesthetic that captured all the little moments we wanted to remember. Camille made sure I got everything I wanted and more out of my photos. The photo I cherish most to this day isn’t even of my husband and I. My grandfather recently passed away and the photo I cherish most is of him and my littlest sister, dancing together alone on the dance floor. It is a photo I hold dear to me and will cherish always. Camille is an incredibly talented and accommodating photographer, and we are so grateful to have had her be a part of our special day. We have already decided she is the only photographer we want to work with going forward to capture all of the special moments in our lives.

We began Moments for Life in 2021 with a simple goal, to give other couples the same gift we gave ourselves, the ability to relive their most important moments. With backgrounds rooted in storytelling, Bryauna studied broadcast at VCU and spent years creating and editing content, while Jamar built a strong presence as a video-focused content creator.

We absolutely loved working with Bryauna and Jamar at Moments for Life Visuals. From booking our initial consultation to giving updates on wedding timelines to following up post wedding, they were responsive and easy to get in touch with. Jamar showed up right on time on our wedding day and we felt really comfortable with him around. He managed to capture the entire vibe of the day from the big moments to the little details. We were really on the fence about whether or not the cost of a videographer would be worth it since we already booked a photographer. Moments for Life had packages that fit with our budget and we’re so glad we booked them. Photos are great, but the videos we got are so full of life and are truly magical. If you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer - DO IT! We also really appreciated that Moments for Life gave us the raw footage of our ceremony, reception speeches, dancing, and cake cutting.

Jenna is basically a wizard in the wedding planner world. She helped plan our wedding that was one day after another on the same weekend, and was still able to absolutely crush it! During a time where there's typically a lot of stress, Jenna is able to put you at ease with her ability to remain calm under pressure, organized when there are a million things to keep track of, and most importantly, kind to everyone she works with. I don't think she has a mean bone in her body, and having someone like that who also values your event as much as you do meant the world to us. My friends and family all raved about how amazing the wedding turned out, but we truly could not have done it without Jenna! Thanks for keeping our heads attached to our bodies the past year and giving us the event of a lifetime. xoxo - Alex & Josh
