Glen is incredibly warm and truly cared about us having the wedding that was right for us! He was very flexible, even as we changed the venue and feel of the wedding a couple months before the big day. He was also incredible at planning surprises during the wedding for my parents and incorporating many Bollywood songs that my family loves. We would highly recommend him to anyone!

Kaity Campbell Weddings & Events LLC

  • Starts at $50
  • Serves Emporia, VA for additional fees

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

Chad was so incredibly easy to work with and absolutely nailed our video. Chad made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole experience which was helpful because we were nervous we’d look stiff and awkward. The whole film perfectly captured our relationship from the shots, to the lighting to the music and we couldn’t be happier. We were also so grateful they stayed the full day since we had a long wedding timeline. If you’re looking for a videographer, go with Mist Moss!

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time!

She made all of our dreams come true with every picture and has made memories that we will cherish forever. Nam’s laidback fun personality made both my husband and I feel comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera even though neither one of us are big fans of having our picture taken. She captured us in a way that showed our love in every picture, and it never felt like unnatural or like a photoshoot. She has a way of making people feel seen, and her pictures show that. If you want to always remember the way you *feel*, I would highly recommend Nam. She captures heart on film, and we feel so lucky to have that memorialized forever!

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

I absolutely LOVED working with Sarah as my wedding photographer! From the moment I booked her until the final gallery was delivered, I couldn't have had a better experience. Sarah made everything so fun, made me feel like her most important client, and most of all, genuinely cared about what my husband and I hoped for in our wedding photos. She brought so much energy to our day, and was an absolute joy to hang out with all day. My husband, not one for all the details and photos, even had the best experience of his life with her. Best of all, we are in LOVE with each and every one of the photos from Sarah! Each one perfectly captures a memory and a moment (in the most beautiful possible way) that my husband and I will treasure forever. We cannot recommend Sarah enough!!

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

Her eye for detail and editing style truly brought the moments to life. Leading up to the wedding, she was always there answering questions, calming nerves, and helping us stay organized. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was on track. Kayla and Lexi were our photographers too and Cassandra helped coordinate everything. They were total lifesavers. They kept everything moving smoothly, helped with timing, coordinated with the videographer, and even stepped in with the little things or keeping us calm during the chaos. I honestly don’t know how we would’ve gotten through the day without them. They were so professional, kind, and easy to be around, which made the whole experience even more special. The entire process felt seamless and stress-free, and we felt so taken care of from start to finish.

What do you imagine your wedding to be like? Imagination is a nice gift we have. It helps us building our identities and shaping our individual uniqueness. Imagining carries a degree of anticipation, depending on our past experiences and who we are, of how something that hasn't happened yet is going to be when it actually happens. Like traveling to a place where we've never been before and we take photos of its landscapes and people living there: we tend to capture in those photographs how we had imagined that place. A wedding is a destination in the journey of life, perhaps the most important one.

Lauren was absolutely SUPERB. Her attention to detail was like none other and she helped me and my wife have our dream wedding in March. What really separates Lauren is her on-site planning. Lauren was an absolute rockstar both the night before and also the day of making sure that me and my wife were both hydrated and having a good time. We had a wedding of over 160 people and Lauren was awesome with contacting vendors and taking the heavy lifting off of our shoulders as well as keeping us on schedule. You may not realize all that goes into planning on the front end, but once the big day comes you want a professional to provide peace of mind and both me and my wife the next day both agreed that Lauren really did her thing.

They gave us sneak peeks the week after the wedding and on the night of the wedding they gave the couple a printed picture which was amazing! We highly recommend them for a photo and video team for your wedding day!

Akiem has built a young and successful career as a content creator in the professional sports industry. He has worked with respectable brands including, USA Hockey, USA Soccer, NFL Flag, RISE and more. However, during 2020 COVID put a stop on sports, and that allowed him to discover a new passion- an undeniable love for wedding photography and videography “I want my clients to experience my love for creativity and storytelling through serving them on the most important day of their lives.”

AVisuals was the perfect choice for our wedding anniversary photography. From the start, their communication was professional yet very nice and helpful, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly upscale, and we were impressed by their great prices and how prepared they were on the day. The photographer already had great shots in mind for us, and we were thrilled with how our anniversary pictures turned out - they were absolutely amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better photography experience for our special day.

I love what I do. I love all my couples and I love where I live & that so many choose this area to get married in. I feel that love is love, no matter who is getting married, & everyone deserves to have the biggest, best wedding day ever! And I love to share that with each of my couples on so many different levels. Whether I am DJing, officiating, planning, coordinating, bartending, decorating, creating florals or any combo of those, I always leave my events feeling like I’ve added new family to mine!

We love a women owned and operated company and these women were absolutely fabulous to work with! I was a bit difficult due to stress and they kept a smile on their face and were so sweet. The day of the wedding they were so charismatic and did amazing with the music as well as the being the officiant for our ceremony! They have amazing personalities and they are very calming to be around! They even went above and beyond to fill in the gaps that the coordinator I had hired was dropping the ball on! I absolutely love these ladies and would use them and recommend them 100 times over and over!
