Awarded Best of Zola
Mel is truly a one-of-a-kind photographer. I’m an over planning, anxious person and bride. My photos were my top priority of my wedding day and it was extremely important to me that they were what I wanted. I had searched for what seemed like forever and stumbled across Farfalla and immediately knew it was the style I had been searching for. The contrast makes the photos intimate without comprising them and being too dark. And there is no give in color, it’s beautifully there. I call it intimately colorful, which is what my day is all about. I knew our engagement photos would be good but they surpassed anything I imagined. They were STUNNING. My fiancé is not a picture person but we both felt so comfortable within 10 minutes of the shoot. We laughed, joked, and had fun the whole time, photographer included! She just has the most fun personality that would be needed on your wedding day and from day 1 with all my questions, Mel responded within a timely manner and eased all my worries. Up to this point, I’ve texted her several times regarding the photos or canvas I’ve ordered and she’s always just so sweet and excited! It always makes you feel special by the end of a conversation. All I have to say is, you get what you pay for. Quality wedding pictures are an investment, but it’s a lifetime investment. And you want to make sure you’re investing in the right person. Mel is that person, and you will have no regrets.

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

I cannot recommend Vanessa enough! The photos from our wedding are absolutely stunning — truly everything I dreamed they would be and more. She was incredibly organized, communicative, and on top of every detail from start to finish. I’ve known her for a long time, and getting to work with her on something so special meant the world to me. Vanessa and her husband Patrick (the second shooter) captured every single shot perfectly — nothing was missed! As someone who usually shies away from being in front of the camera, she made me feel so comfortable, confident, and, most importantly- beautiful. She knew exactly how to pose me and my now-husband in our engagement and wedding photos. She is truly gifted. I am completely and utterly obsessed with her and her work. If you’re considering Vanessa for your wedding or any event, do yourself a favor and book her. Not choosing her would be a mistake!

Meet Katelyn, the visionary behind the lens, the master of capturing love stories; and a true artist with an impeccable eye for detail, an innate ability to freeze time, and the unique gift of encapsulating the raw emotions, intimate moments, and cherished memories that make weddings so extraordinary. From a young age, she discovered the power of storytelling through her mom's scrap books and National Geographic magazines, sparking an undying fascination with capturing the essence of life's most profound moments. She studies under renowned photographers, soaking up their wisdom and honing her own unique style; authentic photojournalism.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Katelyn as our wedding photographer was undoubtedly one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding day! We had the pleasure of seeing her work firsthand at a friend's wedding, with who knows how many cameras strapped on! Seeing her attention to detail firsthand and the beautiful quality of our friends photos, she was first on our list for a consultation. From our first call, Katelyn embraced our vision with enthusiasm and professionalism. We knew we wanted a documentary-style photographer with the option of film photos (we loved that Katelyn includes these already) who could capture the genuine emotions and candid moments of our wedding with our lively group, and Katelyn delivered! Despite our initial nervousness about being in front of the camera, Katelyn made us feel incredibly comfortable. Having an engagement shoot beforehand was a great practice run, she has an incredible talent for putting people at ease, and this truly shines through in the photos. We have never felt so photogenic! Our album turned out better than we could have dreamed up. It is truly reflective of us and our day. Complete with details of my treasured Kirkland sweatpants on the way to our venue contrasted with my dress glam Katelyn’s commitment to us was truly exceptional as she had a family loss shortly before our wedding. It would have been more than understandable for her to need more time away or to find us a replacement. Despite this, Katelyn remained fully committed to capturing our day and we are so so grateful. Her dedication and professionalism during such a difficult time speaks volumes about her passion for her work and for her clients. Katelyn is a true artist and an amazing person. Her work exceeded all our expectations, and we feel so fortunate to have had her as part of our wedding team. The only question we have is how early is too early for a vow renewal so we can hire her again!

As we got closer to the date we worked closely with Jill who went out of her way to understand our vision and musical preferences. Nearly all of our wedding guests commented on how wonderful the band was - seriously, even our parents were getting texts and calls about how great the band was! They had so much energy and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night playing music across many genres (and decades!) 24k Event Band was worth every penny and I hope we can attend another wedding soon where they perform!

Hiring Chris as our videographer was the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very beginning he was so easy to work with. He listened to our vision for our day, provided suggestions and worked with us to put together a package that was perfect for what we wanted. Out of all the videographers we spoke to, his videography package was the best value and tailored to exactly what we wanted. On our wedding day Chris was on time and he fit seamlessly in, as my photographers were taking photos I barely noticed Chris in the background filming the whole time. He really just meshed in with the day and created the most amazing wedding video. He presented us with the video so quickly even before my wedding photos were released! It was absolutely beautiful, the film had us in tears! He captured our day perfectly and edited the film with seamless transitions.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Columbia, MD

If you’ve had a good time at a wedding or event in the DC/Maryland/VA area, chances are it was DJ Casanova that got you moving. You know him as DJ Casanova, but around the office, we just call him Jamie. Back in the day, he was just a child of immigrants recording his favorite songs over his parent’s cassette tapes (sorry Mom and Dad) so he could listen to them on his prized Walkman. Jamie entered the DJ field in 2009, and before long he was spinning something at a different party every week. Pretty soon he realized that sharing his love of music with like-minded folks was more than just a hobby, it was a gift.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Casanova was recommended to us by our venue and we could not have been happier with our decision to have him DJ our wedding reception. He is extremely organized and responsive. He shared a wedding planning sheet with us that allowed us to build our timeline and reception playlist. He also allowed us to create our own playlists for cocktail hour and dinner music (though he has some of his own playlists that we 'stole' some songs from too). What really made DJ Casanova stand out was that he met with us virtually (we don't live in the DMV area) multiple times before our wedding. His main focus during the first session was to learn about us as individuals and a couple, as well as our families. The second session was focused on logistics, name pronunciations, etc. He was extremely receptive to our requests and made the wedding day exactly what we wanted. Many of our guests asked us how we found our DJ because they were so blown away with the musical selections he played and how friendly he was during the reception. We give our highest recommendation!

I don't know where to even start!!! All I can say is that if you are thinking of whether to book Aimee as your photographer, look no further!!! I got married on 01/19/25 in Miami FL and I was blessed to have Aimee there to capture our day. She traveled to us from out of state and although we never met in person before my wedding day, I felt like I knew her so well. Her communication before, during and after the wedding was perfect in every way. She calls, emails, texts and zoom calls. Super professional and responsive. Aimee is also kind, calm and so passionate about her work. She made me feel stunning and captured all the intimate moments we never even knew we wanted. She is so personal and the end result is a lifetime of memories that look amazing and timeless. My husband and I are so glad we chose her as our photographer. I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!

I’m a photographer, mom, wife, snowboarder, roller coaster enthusiast, former math teacher, and former mechanical engineer. I love the process of learning, which led to me earning my Ph.D. (but you don’t have to call me Dr.)! I have an extremely short attention span, am addicted to wearing beanies and headbands, and am fueled by chai tea. I'm socially awkward and I make weird faces when I concentrate to take photos. I dress for comfort and for rolling around on the ground, standing in creeks, and climbing into trees to capture the best angles for my photographs — but I do clean up reasonably well on wedding days!

The final product he delivered was AMAZING. We’re so happy we have a beautiful set of images we can look back on to remember the most important parts of our wedding day.

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.

I'm Cain, a wedding photographer based in Hanover, PA, with roots in Detroit and a background capturing everything from Disney fairytales to real-life love stories. Photography has always been more than just pictures for me — it’s about freezing the little moments you’ll look back on and feel all over again. I’m passionate about making your day feel as real and meaningful as it is, without forced poses or fake smiles. Every wedding is different, and I approach yours with the same energy and care I'd give my closest friends. It’s your story — I’m just here to help you remember it in the best way possible.

Awesome photographer, we loved our photos from our special day and Cain did amazing on working with us throughout the whole day and keeping us ahead of schedule so we didn’t have to stress about anything. Would highly recommend using Cain for any special event you may have!

I mix editorial and documentary style photography for a wedding gallery that feels nostalgic and luxurious. I am here to make the never-shot-before-couple look like they belong in a magazine spread and I will capture candid, living, details and moments on your wedding day that will bring you back to that first touch time and time again. We are a husband and wife team that offers wedding photography and super 8 films. We also have a team of associate photographers for those on a budget.

We couldn't be happier with choosing Brittany as our wedding photographer. She photographed our NYE wedding where she perfectly captured the vintage & timeless vibes we had envisioned. My husband and I don't have experience in being in front of the camera, but Brittany made us feel so comfortable. I am always shocked at how well she captures us on camera. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from friends and family. If you're looking for a photographer who just gets it, hire Brittany. 3
