I started working as a photographer because I'm passionate about helping people showcase who they are and what they have to offer. I work to remove myself from the equation and let my clients take the spotlight. It's thrilling to jump into a session and come out on the other side having learned beautiful new things about a person. When behind the camera I'm coaching you ever step of the way - helping you feel comfortable enough to let your true self emerge.

“From the moment we first spoke with Michael Haller of Michael Haller Photography, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographer. Michael's professional, kind, and empathetic communication style immediately put us at ease, and his incredible vision and creativity shone through in every interaction. On the wedding day, Michael and his team were a joy to work with, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. The final photos are nothing short of flawless - creative, responsive, and capturing all the special moments we'll cherish forever. Chris and I are still completely in awe of Michael's work, and we are in love with the sneak peek pictures. We can't wait to see the full gallery! Michael is truly someone you can easily become friends with, which made the entire photography experience that much more special. We are so grateful to have found Michael to document our big day.”

Hi there, I'm Melissa, but I go by Lissa. Welcome to my little corner of the internet- I'm so glad that you're here! I know that wedding planning can be a daunting process but I'm here to help navigate you through all of the craziness that comes with planning a wedding. I'm your planning BFF and hype-girl from the moment you get engaged to cheering you on as you bust a move on your wedding day! As a wedding planner and bridesmaid (x 10), I've seen pretty much every crazy scenario and I've got your back no matter what because you deserve the best experience possible! **Please inquire directly through my website**

“Lissa and her team was absolutely wonderful from the initial contact up to the end of our wedding day! No matter what kind of wedding you're having, she will make you and your partner feel like you have all of her attention as the most important couple. Throughout the whole process, she was so professional and supportive, even with not as traditional ideas. She had such a quick response time, usually within a day, or a couple hours, and sometimes even sooner! Her attention to detail in making my timeline was also amazing and I felt that we were able to have the whole day planned to the dot before the big day. On the wedding day, she made sure everything ran so smoothly and we were not stressed out at all! We had some small hiccups with the layouts that our venue had set up, but a quick word from Lissa had them fixing the issue. She's the perfect amount of assertiveness, professionalism, and friendliness with everyone, including the guests. The largest thing that stood out to us was how much all of our other vendors loved Lissa and working with her, and we could see it throughout the day. Our venue had restrictions such as a short setup window, but Lissa communicated with them and navigated the situation very well to make everything go smoothly. Even though we had a venue management person for the day of, it was nothing compared to working with someone that truly focuses on you and your needs. Our vision was captured beautifully, and we do not regret hiring her at all!”

They truly listened to my vision, allowed for updates as my plans evolved, and then took care of everything from there. They were incredibly helpful in working within my budget, creatively repurposing ceremony florals for the reception tables, which made the whole evening feel cohesive and elegant. I appreciated their attention to detail, like including flowers I love (amaranthus) and avoiding ones I don’t (baby’s breath).

“Hands down…hiring Alenka Films is the best money I spent throughout the wedding planning process. I can’t say enough about how incredible Alena is! I honestly wasn’t sure that videography was in my budget even though it was something that I really wanted for my wedding. I did a search for local, female- owned videography businesses and found Alenka Films. I reached out to her about 2 weeks before my July wedding and got an immediate response. After speaking for a few minutes I knew she was a perfect fit! She was super flexible considering I didn’t know exactly what I wanted and told me that I would always have the option to add on more to the package after the big day. She was super professional and helpful on the day of the wedding and was able to capture so many special moments without my husband and I even noticing. Delivery of our videos was super prompt and we loved them so much that we ended up adding a longer documentary edit to our package which also turned out to be amazing. I loved working with Alena and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone to film their wedding or special event. Thank you Alena!!!”

I've had a camera in my hand since I was at least ten years old. Photography has always been something I've been passionate about. I was the friend that captured all the memories in high school. Once I got older, and more interested in this becoming something real, I decided to start my business in 2018. I've had the pleasure of working with the most loving clients ever since.

“Kay was hands down the best wedding photographer I could have ever asked for. Her style is light and bright which transferred the brightness and happiness of our beautiful wedding day. Not only is she incredibly professional and sweet, but she also delivered a preview in 1 day and our full day of photos in about TWO WEEKS. The online gallery she sent us had literacy over 1,000 photos and they were all edited beautifully. She was able to capture every tear, every funny face, and every unattractive cheesy head-thrown-back laugh. Other than family portraits, she was truly a documentary style photographer in that no photos were staged and every shot is authentic. I could go on and on and on about the actual photos, but in addition to the extreme high quality of her work, Kay was reassuring and helpful throughout the whole process, going so far as supporting me even more than my day-of-coordinator in the creation of the timeline for the day of. If you have any doubts--don't. She's amazing. I would hire her again and again and most likely will for photos in the future.”

“Everlasting Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the start, the communication style was attentive, understanding, upbeat, and kind. Alexandria was incredibly organized, creative, passionate, and delivered work that was truly beautiful. Alexandria made sure to check in with me after setting up to ensure everything looked okay, and she ran with my vision but made it even better than I could have imagined! The end result was incredible - everyone commented on how beautiful the space looked, and Alexandria made the best possible use of every inch of the Treno venue. Amazing job from start to finish!”

Peña & Co.

5.0

Planner

Serves Columbia, MD

Peña & Co. grew from a love of weddings and bringing order to so many moving pieces and parts. I was part of a wedding that didn't have everything planned out, and I saw how that affected the Bride & Groom and knew then that the details help create unity and peace. My aim is for you to have joy and peace in your day and to truly enjoy each second. I have been coordinating and planning for 4 years, served over 40 couples, and was trained in the south in both Greenville and Charleston, SC. I have loved mixing Southern comfort with DC splendor since I moved to DC in 2023. I can't wait to celebrate you every step of the way!

“Emily is the perfect wedding planner for our special day. From the start, her communication style was efficient, transparent, caring, direct and clear, which made the planning process feel easy and always had a clear direction, ensuring we didn't miss anything. The team is highly professional, detail oriented, and thorough, allowing the day-of to feel smooth and effortless. Emily covered every aspect in full detail, enabling us to be fully present with our guests and each other. We are so grateful for Peña & Co.'s exceptional service and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.”
