We cannot recommend Stacy highly enough. During the planning process, she provided fun and helpful suggestions and helped to keep us on track. We checked in with her regularly to make sure that preparations were moving along apace. On the day itself, everything went *incredibly* smoothly, and we were able to relax and enjoy the company of our guests, dance, eat and drink, and simply have a wonderful time -- because Stacy knew all the vendors and handled everything and anything that might have otherwise come our way. We loved working with her!

Garrett Pelland Music

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Dowell, MD

In my early teens, I experienced the power of live music and I felt I had no choice but to learn how to play an instrument to express myself. Recognizing the effect it had on me, I knew that sharing and bringing music to people was my life mission. 300+ performances later, I am still driven by that mission and have greatly expanded my musical repertoire to accommodate almost any occasion.

Garrett is a talented guitarist and his music creates the perfect setting for a beautiful ceremony. I had the pleasure of working the same wedding with him in the fall of 2020, and his music set the tone for the small ceremony that had all of the guests tearing up as the bride walked down the aisle. Super professional and talented. Highly recommend!!

Our Draped in White family is committed to connecting with you on a very personal level. Our goal is to create a perfectly crafted wedding film that shows your love story in an artistic way. Many couples feel disconnected from the wedding film process so we allow you to choose the different aspects of your wedding film; everything from music and color schemes all the way to filming styles and editing theme.

Draped in White is THE best video brand we have ever worked with. From a photographer's and past bride's perspective, I just can't recommend them enough. They are extremely professional, yet personable. And to say they are incredibly talented does not even begin to describe the quality of work they provide. They are by far the best in the market in my opinion.

Once Upon a Blossom creates luxury artificial flower walls and arches designed for weddings, events, and unforgettable moments. Each piece is handcrafted with premium silk blooms, built for effortless setup, and made to last. Based in New York and shipped across the U.S., Canada, and U.K.

I run a photobooth business in New York and I’ve gone through a lot of backdrops over the years. Some are fine, most just didn’t look that vivid or high quality. This flower wall totally exceeded my expectations. I got the white one and used it at a wedding recently. my guests loved it! People kept lining up to take pics in front of it, and honestly, it looked great in every single shot. Super full, no weird plasticky shine like a lot of the cheaper ones out there. Setup was quick too, which I really appreciated. You can tell the quality’s there. Definitely planning to use it again and order a new color for future events.

  • Serves Dowell, MD

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

Hustle, hustle, hustle is my mantra. I've had people tell me I'm a talented photographer (which is very lovely), but I don't believe in it. Photography is a blend of technique and creativity, and both require a ton of work and practice. I've been very fortunate to study and learn from some incredible photographers. I put that knowledge and effort into every wedding I shoot. My clients mean a lot to me, and I love capturing their magic.

SMJ Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Dowell, MD

I’ve strongly considered taking payment in the form of chocolate chip cookies. I may or may not have an addiction. In my spare time, you’ll probably find me drinking some delicious craft beer, stuffing my face with local food, and spending time with my friends and family. I love dogs but became a cat person when I adopted an adorable gray tabby cat named Chloe seven years ago. We recently adopted a second cat named Shrimp who we also love dearly. I’m an adrenaline junkie. I’ve been skydiving, ziplining, whitewater rafting, and much more. I live for the thrill!

We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with SMJ Photography! From our very first conversation with Scott, the owner and lead photographer, we knew we were in great hands. Scott took the time to really get to know us as a couple — what we envisioned for our wedding photos, what styles we were drawn to, and even what parts of the day were most important to us. His passion for photography and genuine care for his clients were clear from the start. On our wedding day, Scott and Dan, our second photographer, went above and beyond in every way. They didn’t just show up and take pictures, they anticipated every moment, caught things we didn’t even see happening, and came up with inventive and creative shot ideas that truly captured the spirit of our day. It honestly felt like they could read our minds! Their ability to blend posed portraits with authentic, candid moments was exactly what we were hoping for, and the results were nothing short of breathtaking. Beyond just being incredible photographers, Scott and Dan were a joy to have around. They made us, our family, and our friends feel comfortable, relaxed, and excited throughout the day. Their energy was contagious, and their attention to every little detail made a huge difference. What really made the experience even more special was the reveal party Scott hosted for us after the wedding. We were invited to his studio, where he had a beautiful setup ready — not just to go through a ton of stunning photos, but to make a true event out of it. We spent the afternoon reliving the memories, laughing, (crying a little!), creating our wedding album, and even enjoying some delicious lunch and snacks he thoughtfully provided. It was such a personal, memorable touch that made us feel like more than just clients, we truly felt like part of the SMJ family. Scott’s artistic eye, professionalism, creativity, and commitment to giving his couples an unforgettable experience are unmatched. Choosing SMJ Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we are forever grateful to have such incredible memories captured so beautifully. We would wholeheartedly recommend SMJ Photography to anyone looking for a photographer who not only delivers gorgeous images but makes the entire experience fun, thoughtful, and truly one-of-a-kind.
