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!

Working with Avenue Design Studio was such a pleasure! While florals were important to me, I didn’t feel the need to be heavily involved, and their team made the process so easy. 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). Their ability to travel and stay all day to assist with setup was such a bonus. Highly recommend Avenue Design Studio!

What truly drives me is the moment when my clients receive the picture, and tell me how they love them. Knowing that my work will be forever cherished by others adds a meaningful layer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Villa was one of the best choices we made as part of wedding planning. During the initial planning, she was responsive, thoughtful, and considerate of our vision. She understands that most people have never planned a wedding before helped us not only plan photos, but reorganize our reception to flow better. My husband and I are very photo shy, enough so that we debated on whether or not to even hire a photographer for the wedding. Villa was so great at directing interesting, natural poses that didn't feel forced or awkward in the moment. We opt-ed not to do an engagement shoot, but if we had to do it all over again, we absolutely would with Villa. During day of, Villa was extremely detailed and organized. She arrived early to the venue to capture photos and understand the space overall. She was very good about taking photos in a way that didn't interrupt the flow of events while navigating a fairly large and irregularly shaped venue. We received a great blend of editorial and photo-journalistic images that really captured the day beautifully. She has a great eye for wide shots, close up details, and artistic framing. Our wedding day started on a sunny day at noon and ended in the evening. Villa shot great photos throughout all the lighting changes during the day including many flash photography and low light shots after the sun had set. We had a great experience sharing our wedding day with Villa and think you would too!

For the past 6 years, I have dedicated myself to the art of wedding photography, capturing the love and joy of couples on their special day.

Working alongside Artur from Kandid Arts Photography was an absolute pleasure! From the moment he arrived, his professionalism and dedication were evident. He seamlessly integrated into the event, effortlessly capturing every moment while establishing a great rapport with our wedding couple. Artur's photography skills are truly exceptional. His photos not only showcased the beauty of the surroundings of our venue, Catoctin Hall at Musket Ridge, but also effectively conveyed the emotions and energy of the day. Our couple were at ease. Their love and joy were captured so beautifully! We wholeheartedly endorse Artur and Kandid Arts Photography. We would welcome them back to Catoctin Hall at any time! The professionalism, talent, and ability to connect with our wedding couple make them an invaluable asset to any event. Thank you, Kandid Arts, for your exceptional work and for sharing your talents with us!

She was an incredible photographer for our engagement in DC during the cherry blossoms. I booked her remotely and she was even nice enough to find the perfect spot to propose before we arrived; it was a beautiful tree and there was nobody around just like I asked her. The pictures were absolutely amazing too as she toured us around the Basin after the proposal.

Brian DJ'd our March 2024 wedding and he was amazing. He is super organized - he has an app you can use to plan the music for your whole day. He also can edit songs to make them shorter, make instrumentals, etc. And he really knows how to get the dance floor going. Both my husband and I recommend him 1000%
