  • Beauty professional

  • Serves Dendron, 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

Awarded Best of Zola
I was referred to DJ Karizma’s page and as soon as we spoke, I knew he was the one. He had such good energy and was super easy to talk to. What really sold me was that he’s Caribbean — my husband is Guyanese and I’m Puerto Rican, so we really wanted someone who understood both of our cultures and could bring the music together in a way that felt like us. And he did exactly that! From start to finish, Karizma brought the vibe and made the night unforgettable. He wasn’t just a DJ — he was also an awesome MC. He kept everything flowing smoothly, hyped the crowd when needed, and made sure everyone was having a great time. His energy was amazing the entire night. He mixed the perfect blend of music — we’re talking Reggaeton, Soca, Dancehall, Salsa, R&B, Hip Hop, and so much more. He read the crowd so well and kept everyone dancing all night long, from our parents to our friends and even the kids. We’ve had so many people tell us how fun the wedding was, and honestly, a huge part of that was thanks to him. If you’re looking for someone who really knows music, understands different cultures, and just gets it, DJ Karizma is your guy. We’re so happy we chose him. I’d book him again in a second!

Will your Hair and Makeup look like you? timeless, polished, and stunning on camera? Will your morning feel calm, or chaotic? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You deserve an artist who listens and *really* hears you. Every look is built around your features, your style, your vision, so you walk in feeling luminous, confident, and yourself. And your morning? Calm, on time, and completely taken care of, that is exactly what Cedrian is known for. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cedrian was AMAZING to work with! I loved the whole process with her. From the trial to giving me my little goodie bag for touch ups she was an absolute gem to work with. One of the biggest things that I think is needed for brides (especially us Type A's) is communication and listening. We need someone who is pleasant to work with but knows that ultimately the job needs to get done. THAT was a big thing for me when it came to Cedrian that I LOVED. During the trial, I gave inspo pics and then we built on that. And I'm telling you that when I wanted a little more shadow or a little more contour, she did it ONE time and it was exactly what I wanted. Another thing that I loved about her is that she loves what she does! You can tell in her work, the way she has told stories of past brides..it just exudes from her! For me, that is someone I wanted on my team for the wedding day. Your wedding day is supposed to be filled with love and happiness and fun! Get Cedrian as your artist! I'm telling you. Throughout my process of picking vendors, I am a research queen. I check the reviews, and I read all the reviews. Cedrian is EVERYTHING her brides have said. I am SO happy to have found her. Thank you for everything Cedrian!

I am obsessed with Tiffany! She photographed our destination elopement and easily was one of the highlights of our day. She was flexible, knowledgeable, and helped us plan out how we wanted our special day to go. When our initial plans were rained out, she was quick to assist with problem solving and just be down for the adventure which made the whole process stress-free. My husband and I have never been the types to be comfortable in front of the camera, but she made the session fun and the product is some truly stunning photographs. Since our elopement, Tiffany has become our go-to photographer. She has done couples, maternity, and family portraits for various loved ones and is always a pleasure to work with. She’s great at working with everyone from the oldest to the youngest of our family, the most stoic to the most rambunctious. She’s amazing at digging out those authentic smiles and making you feel at ease. She’s professional, creative, and just a genuinely kind human. I recommend her to everyone.

From the moment we booked In Bloom for our engagement party florals, Shelly and her team were a dream to work with. Their communication was always prompt, kind, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful - I never had to worry about a thing as Shelly took care of everything for me without any stress. The florals they created for our event were absolutely beautiful, high quality, and truly stunning. Their work was so impressive that we can't wait to have Shelly and In Bloom do all of our wedding florals in 2025! We're thrilled with the service and value they provided, and highly recommend them to any couple planning a special event.

Moments for Life Visuals 
Rating: 4.9 (11 reviews)
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Dendron, VA

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
