“I hosted my daughter-in-laws Hundred Acre Wood themed baby shower brunch at Walden Country Club on 12/8/24. From the beginning and planning with Ilene Murphy everything went smoothly. She even gave me great recommendations for things which worked out well. On the day of the event, I was so delighted with the special creative touches. The sign for the shower had a Hundred Acre Wood map on it, the napkins were folded into tree shapes, and the juice bottles for the mimosa bar had Pooh characters on them. To top it off the food was delicious thanks to Alice and team and the service was impeccable. It was a magical day! Thanks to Ilene, Alice, Grace and the entire staff.”

  • DJ

Do you like to actually have fun? Do you like good music? More importantly do you like to dance and make memories? Well, you have come to the right place. Search no more, you have found the DJ for this job.

“I’d like to start by stating that I am bad with music. I don’t know song names and I mumble every song… Luke asked me about the crowd, the theme, and targeted music genres. I answered 2 out of the 3 questions... In regards to the music question, all I gave him was my idea of the set list… Literally my description was “Something that you had on your iPod long ago that you can still sing today and isn’t super niche”…. Shortly after he had a small list of songs that we went through. We kept some and removed some, but the songs we removed he asked why and thought of replacements. On the day of the event he brought his high quality equipment and began his craft, that is providing a great party experience. Every single person in there sang and danced from 730 to 10. Everyone also asked who he was and how the he kept nailing song after song with beautiful transitions in between. I respect many lines of work/professions, but I really appreciate and respect those who are passionate and hard working within their line of work. Luke is definitely someone who works hard and goes above and beyond to make sure the party is of high spirits, good energy, and inclusive!”

Dagment Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Crofton, MD
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

Passion is what drives me in photography and real people and real moments evoke that passion. I yearn to connect with people I work with on a personal level. My goal is to make everyone I work with as comfortable as possible. The less of me you see the better! I want the photo to be derived from real, true emotion. So emitting myself as much as possible helps keep the genuine spirit of you and the moment front and center. The more you can simply enjoy your surroundings, free of worry about the fact that your photo is being taken, the better the imagery will be. If you have an interest in working together I would love to hear from you.

“Tawney from Dagment Photography was truly the best photographer we could have ever booked. She is fun, kind, calming, and exactly what you want in a photographer on such an emotional, fast-moving day. She was always there when we needed her, but never in our faces. Our guests felt comfortable, not posed or interrupted, which made a huge difference. I kept joking that she is basically a nature photographer in human form. She somehow managed to quietly observe everything and capture the most incredible candid moments. The photos from both our engagement session and our wedding are stunning. Beautiful, emotional, and professional without feeling stiff or overproduced. Every single image feels intentional and alive. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the day exactly as it happened, not a staged version of it. I will absolutely be using Tawney for any future milestone or life moment where I want photos that are gorgeous, candid, and truly well done. I genuinely cannot praise her enough and would recommend her without hesitation.”

I’m Laura - a photographer and lifelong storyteller who believes that being human is the art. I create imagery for people who don’t always see themselves in traditional photography: the dreamers, the artists, the misfits, and anyone still reaching for the clouds. My work blends editorial sensibility with emotional honesty. Think expressive color, playful imagination, and images that feel like they’re humming with soul. I’m here to make you feel seen, safe, and celebrated - because the best art happens when you’re allowed to simply be yourself. You bring the story; I’ll build the vision.

“We LOVED working with Laura McMullin Photography on our wedding day. Neither of us generally like getting our photos taken, but she made it super enjoyable and captured the best photos of us in our entire lives. Her visions are amazing and she brings them to life with ease! The poses she chose for us were creative, romantic, unique and so much fun. It was easy to smile genuinely, bubble up with joy, and even act silly for a couple shots. Laura captured our true emotions perfectly and I’ll treasure these photos forever. I wish we could do it all again!”

I live for documenting the connections between people—the genuine, unscripted, deeply human moments that tell a real story. I’m a wedding photographer with a fine art meets photojournalism style, which I began to cultivate while attending the Corcoran College of Art + Design in DC. I believe in “happily ever afters” because I found mine with my husband, Jared. We've been married for 20 years. I love photographing couples who (like me) have found their person—their best friend, partner, and soulmate. My mission is to capture love in its purest form and turn it into timeless art you’ll cherish forever.

“Atalie Day Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Atalie was responsive, super friendly, understanding, flexible, and encouraging throughout the entire process. Her communication style put us at ease and made planning our wedding photography a breeze. The quality of her work is truly stunning - beautiful, clear, elegant, and artistic. Atalie was a calming presence on our wedding day, directing the shots exactly as we had requested. She was always in the right place at the right time, ensuring we got all the photos we wanted. We were amazed to receive a huge preview just days after the wedding, and the final gallery was delivered on time. We absolutely loved the pictures and would highly recommend Atalie Day Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. Every time I look at the pictures again, I find more details that she captured and I'm so thankful! I would choose her over and over and over again!”

He was super approachable and responsive to our questions. When we sent him our playlists for what we wanted him to play he went over each song and made sure he had the correct song by the correct artist which was super helpful. Now for where he saved our wedding! Our venue made a mistake of using our props for a wedding the night before but when CJ found out, he offered to use his cold sparks for us which was absolutely amazing!

“We had our wedding in the ballroom. Very scenic and beautiful venue! Overall a pretty good venue that includes food, tables, chairs, linens, etc. The ballroom house itself is beautiful with lots of light indoors due to the large windows, and a nice deck for an outside ceremony. Zoe communicated with us and answered all our questions and did our tasting and planning, until a week before the actual day where we were assigned a day of coordinator. I found this system to be not great, since the day of coordinator was essentially a stranger that you've never talked to at all, and you basically have to re explain everything you want. Even though they have an online planning tool (which is old and outdated), I found that they got our aisle directions wrong, the reception layout wrong, and our dinner meals were wrong. Thankfully, we had a separate planner that was able to correct these things, so I recommend getting an outside coordinator that works directly with you if you have room in the budget. Another thing was our limited setup time of 1.5 hours meaning the florist and other vendors couldn't set up earlier with more elaborate decorations and had to do something simple. I found out that this is because they had another wedding at the same place before ours (literally ending at 4) and so they rush to get the place cleaned for the evening wedding. The main room and the suit was renovated, but the bathrooms were all still dingy and not the best/cleanest to use. The food was good though, better than we had at our tasting and they got it out fast. Our vendors were fed the same food, and our guests thought it was pretty good wedding food. Apart from the couple hiccups we had, we thought the venue was great overall and really beautiful and we don't regret having our wedding there at all. It could be a little bit better in the small details for the price though.”

I am a full time award winning professional photographer born and raised in the Annapolis area. I photograph just 30 weddings per year, and I have photographed over 300 weddings in my 11 year career as a wedding photographer. I am truly passionate about creating images that my couples will love and have to look back on years and years from now and to share with future generations. I strive to be best friends and fierce cheerleaders of my couples, because you should not only love the photos your photographer produces, but also love the person behind the camera.

“Christa delivered us everything we wanted and more! From the start, Christa was organized and communicative about everything. We got to know her during our Engagment photo shoot and were excited to work with her then and at the wedding. She helped us figure out our day of timeline and how photos would fit into it since we were planning on doing a first look and knocking out ALL of the immediate family portraits out of the way… and there were 140 photo combinations we wanted due to us both having 3 siblings each and divorced parents. Christa and her second photographer captured these photos ALL before the ceremony even started - plus a few additional photos we love but didn’t initially have on our shot list. We picked Christa based on her style and editing and we are more than pleased with the products. We have gotten back our full gallery and there are SO many photos - it’s going to be very difficult picking our favorites to hang around the house without overwhelming the walls . All of our friends and family love the photos so much and have even asked who our photographer was. We will always recommend Christa!”

“Working with Harbor & Veil was a game-changer for our wedding day. Taylor was amazing and responded to every question and concern quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind during the planning process. What really stood out was her attention to detail she caught issues behind the scenes that we never even knew about, so my spouse and I could just relax and enjoy the day. The team was genuinely sweet to work with and made sure everything ran flawlessly from start to finish. We felt taken care of the entire time, and many of our guest commented on the amazing job taylor and he assistant was doing! Highly recommend!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Over a year after our wedding, we still often look at the AMAZING photos Bethany captured for us on our wedding day. Do not hire ANY other photographer in the metro Washington, DC area if you want crystal clear, flattering, well-composed, and gorgeous photos of your wedding. Bethany is a delight to work with. She is calm, patient and considerate. She and her second shooter captured every conceivable aspect of our wedding that made it special to us and our guests. Bethany did it all with a smile. It was a huge relief to find a photographer who exceeded our highest hopes for a partner in preserving images of our day. We could not recommend Bethany more highly—we look forward to calling on her again as soon as we can.”

They went beyond just baking and helped bring my full vision to life. They sourced some of my vendors, followed up with them, and made sure everything was in place. By the time I arrived, my venue was fully ready. I did not have to worry about anything. Everything flowed smoothly. They also made sure my guests were well fed and properly taken care of. That level of attention stood out. Shallom Bakery is truly top notch. I give them 5 stars.”

“Carole Ann was easy to work with and had everything ready on time and in place! She sourced beautiful flowers and made gorgeous arrangements that matched our wedding beautifully. I even received a few comments from guest on how pretty and unique the rose color was since it wasn't a traditional white, pink or red rose. We loved the wood sign with flower bed that she had made for our reception. It was her vision and she really brought it to life!”
