When it comes to your wedding or event, we know the importance of creating a one-of-a-kind experience through music and entertainment.

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not write enough amazing things regarding our experience with Baltimore Sound Entertainment. We booked a DJ (Jeff) and a glam photo booth with them and both services were outstanding. My husband and I love house music, and it was so important that the music played at our wedding was authentically us. Jeff absolutely nailed it and our guests had a blast, calling it their first "rave wedding"! In addition, the Photo Booth turned out to be exactly what I had in mind. The "glam" filter made everyone look flawless and the attendant was kind and helpful. Guests could print as many copies as they wanted. We received the digital files two days after our wedding and now get to cherish these fun images forever. Look no further for your sound and entertainment needs!

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Awarded Best of Zola
Michael Ramos with District Remix kept the dance floor going all night at our wedding! We shared some playlists with him for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance floor, and he completely understood the vibes we were going for and ran with it, working in everything from Irish folk songs to KPop Demon Hunters to Bruce Springsteen. So many guests told us the music felt just like “us” and commented on what a great DJ Michael was. As the bride, I even postponed changing into my “late night” dress because I wanted to spend more time on the dance floor! I absolutely recommend hiring District Remix and Michael in particular - you won’t regret it!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the very beginning, he and his wife were so warm, kind, and incredibly helpful. They made the entire planning process effortless and took so much stress out of one of the biggest parts of the day. On the wedding day, they absolutely delivered. The dance floor was packed all night long—there was never an empty spot! They kept the energy up from start to finish, and our guests had an amazing time. Some of our favorite memories (and photos!) are from everyone dancing the night away.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having a band play our Northern Virginia wedding was very important to us. We found Bachelor Boys on Instagram and relished their vibe from the get-go. They felt more personal than the conglomerates with dozens of band. We watched them perform at a showcase in the Baltimore area and loved how they structured their evening with different pairings of band members and instruments - it helped us make an informed decision about the number of instruments we wanted to include. We were wow-ed by Amber at the showcase, and were thrilled to have her emcee our wedding! Communication with the band was very straightforward. We only had a handful of requests, but otherwise, let them play the sets as they saw fit. Truthfully, I can’t remember them taking many breaks because it felt like they played the whole night! Our guests continue to say how excellent the band was! For the ceremony, the band provided a speaker and a representative to press “play” on our music. We also had a trio perform beautifully at cocktail hour. One fun note: we opted for parent dances, and the band had no issues with my Bruce Springsteen deep cut. The singer even channeled his “Boss” to really sound like Bruce! Our dance floor was full from the start, and we loved the sets they played. We had a blast dancing at our wedding - Highly recommend Bachelor Boys!

  • Videographer

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an exceptional experience with Shutter and Sound. Our photographer Joanna and lead videographer Michael—along with a second videographer—worked seamlessly as a team and were collaborative, professional, and incredibly adaptable when timing got tight. We didn’t have a coordinator or planner, and they fully stepped up: organizing people, calling the shots when needed, keeping everything on schedule, and making the day feel calm and put together while still filming and photographing. They treated everyone with genuine respect, helped with anything we needed (even holding our dogs’ leashes for group photos), and stayed focused and positive through a very long day—including hiking to our site. We truly could not have pulled off this wedding without them. Their work ethic, skill, and presence made it the best day of our lives.

T and her company were amazing to work with! She is able to make a large wedding look easy (it’s not lol). My husband and I had a personal tragedy occur literally weeks before our wedding taking our focus elsewhere. I sent inspiration photos and we discussed our vision (simple elegance) and she handled everything else: coordination with the venues, our photographer, the transportation company, catering, and most importantly, with my husband, to allow as little stress on me (us) for our wedding while ensuring it was what we wanted. She is very communicative and able to resource pretty much anything (e.g. burgundy flowers, specific table settings, etc). She directed my focus to the most important things we wanted and was able to instinctually fill in the rest when I wasn’t mentally and physically able to facilitate, creating the vision we so wanted for our wedding. We have received so many compliments from our friends and family and most importantly, we are happy with what was delivered for our special day.

The staff with Editing Life Videography were professional and knew how to get everyone to loosen up. They worked extremely well with the photographers, and where there for all of the most important moments of the night. Thanks to them, I can easily remember one of the best nights of my life forever.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Rachel was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish - she is warm and made the entire process feel super personalized. Rachel was also very accommodating of our budget and making any changes to the types of arrangements, # of arrangements, etc. She really worked with us to bring our vision to life. She also took care of setting up and breaking down all of our florals on the day of, which made everything so easy and alleviated a lot of stress for us. The floral arrangements that Rachel put together for our wedding were STUNNING! We got so many compliments on the day of and are continuing to receive compliments on the flowers when showing wedding photos to friends/colleagues. Besides her kindness and talent, I also appreciated that Rachel actively incorporates sustainability into her business. I highly recommend Sunset Florals LLC to anyone planning a wedding or for any other floral needs!

I love telling stories and capturing imperative moments that will last a lifetime. You only get a few chances at getting good moments at the optimal times to tell stories. That’s my favorite part of photography, getting to tell your story.

I cannot express how grateful my husband and I were for Rashaad. From the time we booked him up until the day of the wedding and after, he has been nothing short of amazing and professional. He captured so many amazing and beautiful pictures of us and made the day flow smoothly. The experience was wonderful. If you are looking for great quality, superb service, and the best pictures you could ever imagine...go with Classic Moments Photography!!

Dawn was incredible to work with and even helped me with a last minute change without any issues. The quality of their work and the value they provided was truly amazing.
