Lissa and her team were amazing to work with! Living overseas was a big challenge when planning our wedding, but with Lissa in charge, everything went so smoothly in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself! Having Lissa and the team take the lead on the day allowed us and our families to enjoy such a special day together without the stress of focusing on a million things at once. Not having to worry about when we would be taking photos, when we are doing speeches, when we have our first dance, was so nice - and Lissa kept us on track with all of this so well. She was so adaptable to catering for all of our changes and needs throughout the planning process, something we couldn't avoid being abroad! Her recommendations of vendors were absolutely perfect for our vision and our budget, and our guests thought so too! All of our guests kept saying how perfect the day was and how impressed they were with everything! I would highly recommend Lissa for your wedding planning needs, as she made our big day a memory we will cherish forever!

Gaithersburg, MD
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200

I specialize in capturing the real, candid moments during your wedding day. My approach is all about blending seamlessly into your event. Clients often describe me as calm, cool, and personable. While I take a variety of photos, I stay in the background, moving fluidly throughout the day. My goal is to preserve those fleeting moments, often capturing details you might not have noticed in the excitement of the day. My role also is to make your day stress-free. Whether it's helping direct family for portraits or keeping things running smoothly, I'll be by your side to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough good things about Konrad and his incredible work on both our engagement shoot and our wedding day! From the very first consultation, it was clear that he was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about his craft. He took the time to understand our vision for photography and delivered beyond our expectations—without breaking the bank! After our engagement shoot he surprised us with a behind the scenes video of our day and we were sold on adding the video option to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he was calm, organized, and made us feel so comfortable. His attention to detail was amazing, capturing all of the candid moments, the beautiful portraits, and even the small, intimate touches we didn’t notice ourselves. He managed to blend seamlessly into the background while still getting the most stunning shots. What really stood out to us was his ability to balance both photography and videography without sacrificing quality in either area. The photos are breathtaking, and the 4 minute wedding video perfectly tells the story of our day, with all the right moments captured in the most beautiful way. We were also impressed with how quickly he turned around our photos and video—it didn’t take long to relive those precious memories! All of this came at a price that was surprisingly reasonable, especially when you consider the high level of service and talent he brings to the table. We truly feel like we got the best of both worlds: top-tier photography and videography at a price that fit our budget. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only meet your expectations but exceed them, we highly recommend Konrad. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

I’m Vanessa, a Gaithersburg, MD-based couple + wedding photographer for the wildly in-love. My life was changed by love. Seriously, rocked, rumbled, wrecked, repeat. Okay, it might sound dramatic, but my relationship with my now-husband has truly changed my world and soul for the better. We were lil baby high school sweethearts turned long distance when my husband joined the Marine Corps, and our journey together means absolutely everything to me. I know yours does too, and getting to capture it is the hugest joy and honor.

We are thrilled with Vanessa Bennish Photography! From the moment we met Vanessa during our engagement photo session, we felt completely comfortable with her. Her warm personality, professionalism, and ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera were immediately evident. The photos she and her team captured on our wedding day are nothing short of stunning. Each shot is a work of art that beautifully reflects the emotions and details of our day. Her composition and editing style are very well balanced and give our images a timeless quality look. We are obsessed with how she and her team told the story of our wedding through their lens— their talent for capturing those intimate moments and candid emotions is unmatched. One of the unique touches that made our experience even more special was Vanessa's ability to shoot in different photography formats and mediums, including 35mm film and Polaroids. This added an extra layer of depth to our photos and truly gave the whole experience the cherry on top! Vanessa, we are immensely grateful for the memories you've given us. We've been going through our photos repeatedly, and each time, we are filled with joy. Thank you so much for everything—you were a dream to work with, and we can’t wait to schedule another session with you in the future! If you're searching for a photographer with an eye for detail, incredible creativity, and a knack for making you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, look no further than Vanessa Bennish Photography. We are extremely happy with our choice and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you, Vanessa! Kim & Daryl

I’m basically speechless. This company is truly so amazing! They made all my wedding dreams come true and they are top notch with service ensuring my husband and I were taken care of! Always ensuring we have a drink in hand and snack or meal when and if needed! They took care of us in EVERY ASPECT! Even to the point I was able to walk down the aisle and the manger on site from simply fresh that day noticed my pocket of my wedding dress was sticking out so I was able to fix it before going down the aisle, so glad she told me because my pocket sticking out in all the photos of a once in a lifetime moment would have really not been great! They have incredible communication from before you book, after you book the tasting and just being flexible for meeting and walk through! The food was incredible (like seriously INCREDIBLE) and they ensured EVER single detail was exactly as I dreamed! I really am so happy I booked with simply fresh and would over and over 100 times again!!! If your unsure about to to book with for catering stop looking now and book simply fresh I’m the most sure you will not regret it! Wish we had some pictures of the food. All of the food was plated beautifully! Even our salad had eatable flowers! (I mean come on) and I really just could not have asked for anything more from simply fresh! For our cocktail hour we did crab cakes, stuffed mushrooms and bruschetta! For dinner we did a garden salad, a chicken option, a steak option and a veggie option they were all to die for! Like seriously people are still talking about how amazing the food was and our wedding was over a month ago.

Designs by Oochay provides floral and event decor services for all of life's celebrations. We service events in the Washington, DC area, and beyond. Our services include floral arrangements, rentals, event design, draping, event production, and more. With a strong focus on creating memorable client experiences while thinking outside the box to create one of a kind events, puts us as one of the top leading floral and decor company's in the Washington, DC area. Featured in national publications such as Martha Stewart Weddings, Washingtonian Weddings, Munaluchi Bride, B Collective Magazine, and more.

It's hard to do anything but rave aboutUche and her team - Uche is incredibly creative, a consumate professional, and moreover just an all around awesome human being to work with. From the beginning, she was super responsive and took the time to help me figure out the look for my wedding (I wasn't starting from much - just knew I wanted a "secret garden" type feel). In our first conversation alone I knew she had a vision, and told her to go with it. The execution was so far above and beyond our expectations that words can't describe it. I loved and really appreciated the thoughtful proposal Uche put together (and changed several times at my annoying requests), but I really couldn't have imagined how beautiful everything would be the day of. We got married at District Winery, and Uche and her team took FULL advantage of the blank canvas-esque space, complete with hanging greenery installations and the most beautiful altar piece I've ever seen. My bouquet was also gorgeous - as were my bridesmaids', and the boutonnieres were amazing. I honestly had friends coming up to me telling me they loved the florals even more than what they had at their own weddings! Not only was the end result day-of perfect, but I know that Uche and her team worked tirelessly to get it done. When we had our rehearsal at the venue the afternoon before, they were there getting a head start (what other wedding vendor would do that!?) I could go on forever about how incredible Uche is (like the fact that she hosted my mom and I at her studio for over an hour to patiently talk through details, even as she was prepping for a big wedding the next day), but the bottom line is that if you want top notch creativity and professionalism all in one, you can't go wrong with Designs by Oochay. One final thing - a friend/guest of ours happened to be a former client of Uche's, and Uche made a specific point to find her at the end of the evening to say hello and give her a hug (which my friend was super excited about), even though it was after midnight and she was trying to disassemble everything - which I thought truly showed how warm and gracious she is, as well as how much her former clients love her!

On April 13, 2024, we held our wedding and reception at the Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center. During the planning of our wedding, we worked with Amy, Sonia, and finally Katherine to create our ideal day. All were very pleasant, knowledgeable, flexible and accommodating with our arrangements, and were very responsive answering numerous questions that we had. The wedding set up was exactly as discussed and the transition from outdoor to indoor on the day of the wedding (way too windy a day for an outdoor ceremony) was seamless, thanks to the wonderful staff! The reception area, bar, and food was set up exactly as had been discussed and the food was delicious! All of the guests commented on how wonderful the food and staff were. Staff also was very helpful with connecting our music through the hotel's WIFI system. We were even given a room for dressing and preparing for the ceremony. The atmosphere was very relaxed and professional (but not stuffy) and we never felt rushed or anxious about any of the arrangements. The amount owed was exactly what we had been told so there were no surprises there. Overall, it was a perfect day and the staff and facilities at the Marriott couldn't have been any better. I would not hesitate to hold any future events there, knowing the kind attention paid to every detail to make every event special.

If I could give above a 5 star review, I would. Kelyn, with Timeless Video, brought the energy you want on your wedding day. We felt so supported and comfortable having her be a part of our day. Hiring Timeless and having Kelyn was hands down one of the best decisions we made on our wedding day. From our very first conversation, she was very warm and professional. On the day itself, she felt more like friends than a vendor. Ultimate hype person and made sure every special moment was captured beautifully. The final video blew us away. The way they pieced together the emotions, laughter, tears and every little in between moment was honestly magical. You always hope you can relive your wedding day with footage and we sure did! Our family and friends haven't stopped raving about how incredible Kelyn was and how our footage turned out--also how much of a BLAST she had during Greek dancing!

Poppy Flowers was a great choice for our wedding flowers because they worked well trying to fit our budget and gave us flexibility with our flowers. Their communication was primarily virtual which was challenging at times. Outside of our first Zoom meeting, we had to communicate using their platform which could have been more efficient. Outside of the Poppy Flowers platform, our florist Dara Cordova did an amazing job. The quality of her work was excellent - she matched our vision for the flowers perfectly. The bouquets they created were absolutely stunning, encompassing all the flower profiles and colors we had discussed. Our guests had many compliments on how beautiful the flowers looked and how well they fit the overall style and aesthetic of our wedding day. Our only hiccup was when we were told we could flip our flowers from our wedding ceremony to reception area (we had different locations) but two weeks prior, we were told that they would not transport flowers from our ceremony to reception so we had to cut down and have our planner relocate the flowers for us. We wish communication would have been more clear. It was an added stress so close to the wedding. Overall. Poppy Flowers provided great value and delivered well-executed floral arrangements that truly brought our wedding vision to life on a budget.

Nina captured so many special moments we weren’t able to experience or see ourselves! We had so much fun going through the gallery and sending our guests the photos they were in. She truly captured the joyous feeling of the day and going through the photos feels like reliving it. Nina is also a great communicator.

There was NO such thing! So we created the solution for the everyday busy modern woman…our award-winning Dream Team! Need skin, makeup, hair, or Men’s Grooming? Large, diverse party? No problem! Our perspective is unique… we were in your shoes, so we created a stress-free, full-service luxury experience for everyone.

I absolutely adore Kara and her team. Kara was super professional when we had the phone call, I’m not a big makeup person so while I wanted to look different, I didn’t want to look too different. Gabrielle and Josh did an amazing job with all of our hair and makeup. Their energy is unmatched, I’m so glad she paired me with them.
