When my husband and I were planning our wedding day we knew we NEEDED to hire a videographer. Pictures are incredible don’t get me wrong, but videos capture every moment in between. Stan was a dream to work with! Our wedding video was better than we could have imagined. We literally got to relive our entire day all over again.

For me, photography is about preserving the authentic joy and genuine feelings that make your love story unique. I’m not just a photographer; I’m a storyteller, an artist, and a curator of memories. Your love story deserves to be told in a way that is uniquely yours. I take a personalized approach to each project, working closely with couples to understand their vision and preferences. The result is an individualized experience where every detail is curated to ensure your day is as special and distinctive as your love.

We were initially drawn to Jasmine's work on Instagram for our engagement photoshoot, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. From the outset, Jasmine took the time to understand our vision and review the Pinterest board I shared with her. Through thoughtful exchanges via email, she ensured every detail was accounted for. On the day of the shoot, Jasmine's warmth and professionalism immediately put us at ease. Her patience was remarkable as she listened attentively to our ideas, seamlessly incorporating them into the session. Constantly referring to our shared vision board, she ensured no pose or concept was overlooked. The speed at which we received our breathtaking photos was impressive, as was their sheer beauty. Naturally, we knew we had to entrust Jasmine with capturing our wedding day. Leading up to the event, her consistent communication and unwavering patience reassured us every step of the way. On the wedding day itself, Jasmine's level of dedication remained unwavering. Her ability to understand and execute our specific vision left us feeling confident and at ease. Once again, the turnaround time for our wedding photos was remarkable, and the results were nothing short of stunning. We are thrilled to have found Jasmine and eagerly anticipate her documenting our future family milestones. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Jasmine to anyone seeking an exceptional photographer. Her talent, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients shine through in every shot.

I am so happy that I found and hired The I Do Glam Crew for my December 2024 wedding! Lori and her team were amazing throughout the entire process. I booked two separate trials with Lori to try out all kinds of different hair options, and she probably spent about 5 hours with me to make sure I was going with the hairstyle that would make me the happiest on the big day. She never made me feel rushed or annoying, even though I was being incredibly indecisive! Her shop is adorable and comfortable and the other people on her team were all fantastic - they showed up to my house the morning of the wedding on time, they breezed through everyone's hair and makeup in a timely fashion, and everyone looked gorgeous after all was said and done. As someone who really doesn't like to have a ton of makeup, I was super nervous about having our makeup professionally done, but I had nothing to worry about - it turned out amazing. One of my bridesmaids opted out of having her makeup done because she never likes how people do her makeup, but afterwards she told me that this was the one time she somewhat regretted not getting her makeup done because she loved how ours turned out so much. Anyway, I cannot recommend this team enough! They are wonderful to work with and I would absolutely hire them again.

DJ Paul T

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Forest Hill, MD

I offer sound, lighting, photo booths, and special effects With a boutique approach to each couples wants, I promise more than just music and lights. I'll deliver what's right for you, tailored just for you. Forget the one size fits all DJ experience. From our very first meeting to the final song, I'm with you every step of the way. I am ready to share the great times with you and all of your guests.

Entertainment is arguably one of the most important and memorable aspects of a wedding, as it can truly make or break your day. Fortunately for me, I’ve worked in the service industry for over a decade and have seen my fair share of DJs and bands. This is how I met Paul. I always loved when he played at the bar I worked at because his sets were never the same—he read the room, kept the energy high, and was always amazing at it. I’ve also attended weddings where he DJ’d and MC’d, and those were the ones where I had the most fun. So, I was over the moon when I reached out and found out he was available for my wedding. I booked him immediately. Paul has been in the entertainment business for quite some time and offers more than just music. With options like customizable monogram/logo projections, a standalone or 360 photobooth (with an attendant and props), and uplighting, he helped us tailor our wedding experience to perfection. What I loved most about the photobooth was that we were able to pick our own template and backdrop and use our own logo/monogram for it. Guests received printed copies on the spot and digital copies sent to their phones. We also received a file of all the photos and GIFs taken, which was so fun to look back on. Paul has different equipment based on your space and vibe. The sleek white setup he brought to our small venue blended seamlessly with our aesthetic, while his ability to adapt his equipment ensured optimal sound quality throughout the day. From providing a lapel mic for our officiant to coordinating with our live acoustic cocktail hour, Paul went above and beyond to enhance every aspect of our day. Paul's responsiveness and flexibility, whether over email, text, or Zoom meetings, made the planning process seamless and stress-free. During the planning period, we met with him to discuss all the details like pre-ceremony music, procession, recession, introductions, first dance, last dance, parent dances, must-play songs, do-not-play songs, and whether or not we wanted requests (we opted for them, but only if they fit the vibe). He even let us cue up songs, coordinating with our wedding planner (for instance, signaling me when it was time for me to walk down the aisle). All of this was put in a shared Google spreadsheet and discussed during our meetings. He also had a remarkable ability to know exactly when to cut a song and have it fade out perfectly. As both DJ and MC, he effortlessly set the tone for the evening, keeping the dance floor packed and the atmosphere electric. He even looked like he was having a good time, cheering and dancing along with us. A few of our guests asked for his contact info and whether he did events other than weddings (which he does). He knew exactly what the crowd wanted and ensured everyone had a great time. And as an unexpected gift, his recording of our intro and first dance provided cherished memories we'll treasure forever, especially since we didn’t have a videographer. Thanks to Paul, our wedding was so much fun, filled with laughter, love, and plenty of dancing. We couldn't have asked for a better soundtrack to our special day.

From our initial consultation, it was clear that she was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about capturing our special day. Throughout the entire process, Nicole was incredibly organized and attentive. She took the time to understand our vision and offered valuable suggestions that enhanced our overall experience. Nicole truly made us so comfortable in a position we felt so vulnerable in. On the wedding day, she arrived promptly and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. The photos are absolutely stunning! Nicole has a remarkable eye for detail and captured every moment beautifully. From candid shots to posed portraits, each image reflects the joy and emotion of the day. She took our vision of a cozy winter wedding and turned the photos into our dream. Nicole was also very innovative in coming up with a beautiful rain plan as we were expecting snow rather than rain on our special day. The editing was top-notch, and we received our photos in a very timely manner. Considering the exceptional quality of the work and the level of service provided, Nicole offers great value for money. We felt that every penny spent was worth it for the memories we now have to cherish forever. She truly had a package for every budget! Working with Nicole was a highlight of our wedding planning. Her expertise and friendly demeanor made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Nicole was ultimately the ring leader of the day who kept the ball rolling.

I can still hear my dad, who has now passed, say "if you don't sit still we will be here all day". As an adult, I now get it. Not being able to talk with my dad everyday or ask for advice, I'm so thankful to have albums full of family photos to hold in my hands.

Hey there! We are so excited you stumbled upon our little corner of the wedding and event world! Working out of Howard County, Maryland and servicing the DMV and Eastern Shore, LoKel provides day-of coordination for the couple who has done most of the "ground work" and just needs a little help bringing it all together so you can focus on your day. Lauren (Lo) and Kelsey come together with their creative spark and years of experience in the wedding and events industry to bring your dreams to life. From grand ballrooms to backyard simplicity, the gals at LoKel have certainly done it all. We cant wait to meet you!

The LoKel team are magic makers. Their expertise in the event industry is undeniable, but what truly sets them apart is their care, presence, and ability to hold space for all the moving pieces—both tangible and emotional—that come with coordinating a wedding. Our celebration took place at a private family property, an intimate-ish backyard wedding with 130ish guests. And in case you’ve never planned a backyard wedding, it’s not as simple as it sounds. There’s no built-in infrastructure or venue team to fall back on, but with Lauren and Kelsey by our side, we felt supported and informed every step of the way. From the start of the process, LoKel’s guidance was invaluable. They helped us navigate vendor selection—pointing us toward trusted partners, steering us away from potential pitfalls, and even ensuring our contracts were designed to protect us. As the big day approached, they offered emotional support in moments when things felt overwhelming, whether we were juggling tricky family dynamics or chasing elusive vendors. And on the wedding day? They were the calm in the storm. With so many moving parts and potential for chaos—vendors setting up, family arriving, unexpected changes—they handled everything with incredible composure, making sure every detail was taken care of and bringing a sense of ease to even the most hectic moments. My husband and I got to soak in every moment, fully present and stress-free, because we knew they had everything under control. Thanks to them, our day wasn’t just seamless—it was joyful, intentional, and everything we’d dreamed of. Lauren and Kelsey don’t just plan weddings; they create an atmosphere where you can fully live in the moment. To LoKel: Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing our vision and dream wedding day to life.

Saroj James Hyoju, got into DJ industry upon walking into Latin club in Dallas, Texas in 2015. Coming from band background, he was surprised to see how people were moved by “Gasolina”, a reggaeton song. Observing how DJ was controlling the crowd’s energy while enjoying himself, this made him curious about club music genres, besides metal and rock. Following immediately, he hosted a Bring Your Own Beer (BYOB) house party, where 50 people showed up. A week later, he was invited to co-DJ at one of his friends’ wedding reception and rest is the history.

Great Versatile and flexible Wedding DJ. Great to work as a partnering vendor. DJ Saroj ensures there is no communication gap during the project process and ensures great attention to detail in working with any vendors. While working together, he proactively asks us if we are fine with lights being turned off before opening the dance floor and make sure we have enough of event photo coverage. That level of care and professionalism is beyond our imagination. We always feel very welcomed and we are always excited working with him.

We don't just bring beautiful transformations to weddings, but also create unforgettable parties, intimate celebrations and producing flowers for corporate events across East Coast and beyond.

Where to even begin!! We had such an incredible experience with Victoria and her team. Victoria is so talented, she brought our vision to life flawlessly. We felt so special and valued working with her which meant so much to us! The planning process was so easy thanks to Sara, who is the kindest most understanding person to work with. They are both creative and presented us with options that we would have never thought of, all while working within our budget. Absolutely one of our favorite vendors to work with!!!

Hello! I'm Phillip, the proud owner of The Crafted Cannoli. Inspired by our love for Vaccaro’s and a passion for making people smile, we’ve created a fun, interactive cannoli experience that goes beyond just dessert. Our mission is to bring people together, create lasting memories, and make every moment sweeter. With a mix of tradition and modern twists, we’re here to serve not just cannoli, but smiles. We can’t wait to share this journey with you!

I just have to say - this roaming cannoli station has been the talk of my wedding!!! Such a fun idea and Phil was so attentive. The cannoli shells were so fresh, the cannoli cream was 12/10, and all the topping options. I come from a large Italian family that can be hard to please when it comes to their Italian desserts, but they haven’t stopped talking about how amazing they were. So glad I booked this!!!! If you’re even on the fence about it, just book it.

Hey friends! My name is Mandi and I'm a Baltimore-born lover of traveling, kitty cats, and ice cream! I am the happiest girl in the world when I am by the water. Being outside enjoying the warm sun, feeling a cool breeze, and laughing with friends and family by the Chesapeake just make my heart sing! When I’m not busy working on beautiful weddings, I’m trying to motivate myself to go for a run or I’m curled up on the couch with my husband, my 3 cats & a true crime doc. You'll always find me decked out in bright colors, no matter what time of year! As a native Marylander, I love getting out and exploring more of my home state - and beyond!

There are not enough words to explain how amazing Mandi is!!!! You need to RUN and book her immediately!! From the first phone call and throughout the entire wedding planning process, she was so responsive, organized, and above and beyond helpful. Her pictures truly speak for themselves and I can’t even tell you how many strangers have reached out to tell me how beautiful the pictures are!! She also got them back to me in absolutely record time. On wedding day, I didn’t have a wedding planner, and she helped me put together a timeline and made sure everything went off without a hitch. She was soooo much fun to work with, was so laid back (while still being assertive and corralling our wedding party/family for pictures) and made sure everything was low-stress. Most people complain about their wedding portraits and how long it takes, but one of our favorite parts of the day was taking our portraits with Mandi and her second shooter (who was also so fun and fantastic). We are so, so happy Mandi was a part of one of the best days of our lives, and it wouldn’t have been the same without her!!

I'm a lifestyle photographer with a passion for capturing your keepsake moments! With work experience in event management, I understand the behind the scenes of weddings & I am fully equipped to deliver you fun AND professional service on your big day. I've captured weddings, engagements (hello crouching behind a tree to capture the proposal moment), and so much more. What I love about weddings is witnessing such happiness and love. I spend my time capturing the glances between couples, Grandma's smile, and your special details. If you want to see where attention to detail, professionalism, lightheartedness & sarcasm meet...let's chat!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tori has taken our family's photos numerous times over the years, and I can't say enough about her talent. I'm always so impressed by how she captures unique candid moments that show off everyone's personalities. Even now knowing the extremely high quality of Tori's work, the final product consistently exceeds our expectations. I have referred Tori to multiple friends and family for their weddings, and it makes me wish that we had discovered her in time to photograph our own wedding. It seems like she has a plan for every situation, which puts everyone at ease and is reflected in her beautiful photos. I would enthusiastically recommend Tori for your wedding and any other photography needs - she always delivers!
