Hi there! I'm a sweet tea addicted, book loving, adventure seeking fur mom based in Gloucester, Virginia.

We provide couples with bright, true to color photography so you and your loved ones can enjoy your wedding day for generations to come. We offer high organization, fast communication, and strict attention to detail so you don't have to worry about a single thing - just enjoy the moment with you best friend & love!

“Melanie was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer! She was so easy to work with and helpful at determining what we needed for our special day. It was great to have a test run to her work by doing engagement photos first. She was so flexible with us on ensuring the weather would be perfect. We loved how she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera since it was really our first time professionally. After taking photos she had a really quick turnaround for sneak peeks before all the rest were ready. The shots she took for the engagement and for the wedding were gorgeous and creative! Melanie managed to beautifully capture all the special moments, even those we didn't realize would be so important to remember! We are thrilled with the final product and would highly recommend Photography by Melanie to any couple looking for an outstanding wedding photographer!”

“Having Evan as our wedding Officiant was an incredible experience! From our first meeting to the big day, he was nothing short of amazing. Evan brought a perfect mix of warmth, professionalism, and humor that made our ceremony so personal and memorable. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, learning about our story and the things that truly matter to us. The ceremony he crafted felt so genuine, and we loved how he included little touches that reflected our personalities and relationship. Evan calm and confident presence made us feel at ease throughout the ceremony, and his words were delivered with such sincerity and emotion. Not only did he officiate our ceremony with grace and style, but he also helped guide us through all the steps, ensuring everything went smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us and help make our day even more special.

  • Serves Gloucester, VA

Darling and Dapper Studio isn’t just a salon; it’s a haven for confidence. Founded by Elizabeth Darling, whose own journey of self-discovery led her to create a space where beauty is cultivated from within, rather than just painted on. Here, amidst the plants and warm, cozy ambiance, a team of experts don’t just style brides for their wedding day; they empower all individuals to radiate confidence that extends far beyond the salon. With each brushstroke and hairstyling flourish, they build a canvas of inner beauty, reminding every guest that their worth shines brightest from within.

Awarded Best of Zola
“As the bride, I wanted to capture the fleeting, unforgettable moments of our big day (while looking my absolute best) as I’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation for an incredibly talented hair and makeup studio from a family member who used Darling and Dapper for her wedding in October of 2024. After reading the different artist descriptions on the Darling and Dapper website, I knew Taylor Shira and Carolina Updegraff were going to be a perfect fit for what I was looking for on the day of the wedding! Taylor and Carolina exceeded my every expectation! What struck me most about Taylor was her ability to help create a calm, inviting atmosphere on the day of the wedding. She is such a sweet, energetic person with such a positive personality to boot. What struck me most about Carolina was her ability to recreate the exact makeup look from any inspiration picture you show her. She is such a sweet, warm person and she and Taylor are the exact kind of people you want to spend time with on what is typically a very overwhelming day! Their attention to detail and artistic eyes brought out the true beauty in myself and all my bridesmaids. I truly have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day thanks to Taylor and Carolina. Taylor and Carolina are not only a master with any hair or makeup style you throw at them, but they are also true professionals. We chose to get ready in the bridal suite of our hotel and they both arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel truly at ease throughout the whole day! Their level of communication is impeccable as they were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) and truly listen to what you were hoping to achieve with your look, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. With our wedding being an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia, I was slightly nervous that my makeup was going to be ruined before we even made it to cocktail hour, but Carolina worked tirelessly to support my dream of having my desired look (and boy did she succeed)! Taylor worked tirelessly (up until I left the building to walk down the aisle) to support my dream of having cascading curls down my back and cascade (and last) they did! My six bridesmaids all chose different hair and makeup inspirations and were all extremely pleased with their work. Working with Taylor and Carolina has been an absolute pleasure from my bridal hair trial session to the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of bridal hair and makeup! I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary hair and makeup and an unforgettable wedding day! - Mrs. Canavos”

“Oh where to begin?! I met Brandon and Kellie during the April 2024 Richmond Bridal Expo. I was just going around signing up for all the give aways and drawings while collecting information. The day after the show, I received an email from DJ Signature saying I won their 2nd place prize and to schedule a meeting. My Fiancé and I set up a meeting via zoom and let the fun begin! We both instantly felt a connection with Brandon and he 100% understood the vibe we were going for. He took the time to go through all the packages and customized our perfect plan. I didn’t need some of the things the package offered so I opted to add in Signature Details (welcome to the party Kellie!) and have access to a wedding coordinator. Kellie joined our zoom call and it was like 4 friends just catching up and having a good time. Once we were done with the zoom, they emailed over everything we discussed along with a contract. We were signed, sealed, delivered within an hour of ending our call. Brandon is very proactive in asking for lists of music you do and don’t want during your ceremony. He also helped me when I was struggling to add certain genres I knew I didn’t want during the reception, and we created a dinner playlist with those songs so everyone was included. The day of the wedding Brandon and his assistants showed up ready to get to work. When I say everything was PERFECT I mean it! The music flowed beautifully and there was no awkward pauses in transitions. It was a special moment for my husband and I too, after pictures we got the chance to talk with Brandon. You could feel the love and support with everything he said and it was an honor to have him with us. Part of the package we did was a cold spark exit. I wasn’t sold on it when we originally talked about it but as we went on I was like ok it’ll be cool. My advice, DO THE COLD SPARKS!!!!!! I’m so glad they convinced me because it was honestly my favorite part of the night. Brandon had to leave after this part of our evening as he had another wedding to do fireworks at and his assistant took over. And that’s when the party started! I wanted it to feel like an early 2000’s-2010’s club vibe full of dancing and fun. They NAILED the mark on it too! Everyone had an absolute blast and I legit felt it for the next few days. If you’re looking for the best DJ in VA, you’re in the best hands with DJ Signature! Thank you for being a part of our day Brandon!!”

PLEASE DIRECT ALL INQUIRIES TO MY WEBSITE Born & raised an "Air Force Brat," Christine has lived in various places from California to Germany. From a young age she knew she wanted to work in the beauty industry & followed her dreams by receiving her cosmetology license & attending the master class at the prestigious Make Up For Ever Academy in NYC. Working with brides has brought Christine so much joy, being involved in such an important part of someone’s life long memories is more than just makeup. Wedding days pass in the blink of an eye but the way you felt, and the photos you hang on your walls, will last a life time.

“LOOK NO FURTHER, CHRISTINE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I feel so lucky to have found Christine for my wedding makeup because she was everything I was looking for and more! I did a makeup trial with someone else that went terribly and was scrambling to find a new makeup artist less than two months before my wedding. I am truly so grateful I found Christine. Her talent speaks for itself, just check out her Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/christinecouturecormier/). I had my first video consultation with Christine the day after I found her, and we discussed what went wrong with the first person and what I was hoping to achieve for my wedding day look. Not only was it clear that she knew what I was looking for, but she also had amazing ideas about the entire makeup experience on my wedding day that I hadn’t even thought of. Your makeup artist is SO important because you’ll have these photos forever and they’re the first vendor you interact with so they help set the mood for the day. Christine was an incredible presence the whole time she was there. She and the second makeup artist Lindsey made me and my entire bridal party look and feel amazing! Christine made incredible content with me and my bridal party and she was also there for my first look. She was the perfect calming presence I needed for the most exciting but stressful moment of the day. She helped fluff my dress and took photos and videos I was able to have immediately after the first look. You want to feel confident that your makeup artist is going to make you look and feel amazing, and I promise you can trust Christine with that! My guests were raving about my makeup! I felt done up and more special than my everyday makeup, but I still felt and looked like myself. Also the makeup lasted all night long! She is worth every single penny!! If you pick Christine to be your makeup artist you will not regret it!”

Will your Hair and Makeup look like you? timeless, polished, and stunning on camera? Will your morning feel calm, or chaotic? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You deserve an artist who listens and *really* hears you. Every look is built around your features, your style, your vision, so you walk in feeling luminous, confident, and yourself. And your morning? Calm, on time, and completely taken care of, that is exactly what Cedrian is known for. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Cedrian was AMAZING to work with! I loved the whole process with her. From the trial to giving me my little goodie bag for touch ups she was an absolute gem to work with. One of the biggest things that I think is needed for brides (especially us Type A's) is communication and listening. We need someone who is pleasant to work with but knows that ultimately the job needs to get done. THAT was a big thing for me when it came to Cedrian that I LOVED. During the trial, I gave inspo pics and then we built on that. And I'm telling you that when I wanted a little more shadow or a little more contour, she did it ONE time and it was exactly what I wanted. Another thing that I loved about her is that she loves what she does! You can tell in her work, the way she has told stories of past brides..it just exudes from her! For me, that is someone I wanted on my team for the wedding day. Your wedding day is supposed to be filled with love and happiness and fun! Get Cedrian as your artist! I'm telling you. Throughout my process of picking vendors, I am a research queen. I check the reviews, and I read all the reviews. Cedrian is EVERYTHING her brides have said. I am SO happy to have found her. Thank you for everything Cedrian!”

​Planning a wedding is hard! There are so many details that go into planning a successful event...especially a wedding. Not only do you need the big things covered (venue, food, music) but the smallest of details can make your day amazing...or stressful (did you remember to pack your comfy shoes?). You're inviting all of your family and friends to share this day with you for a reason. You not only want your day to be an amazing experience for you as a couple, but for your guests too. Let us help you do that. I've assembled a team of wedding ninjas, and we're looking forward to helping make your day the best it can be.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Kellie, who truly went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was a master of her work and had a genuine passion for creating memorable experiences and we HAD to work with her. During the planning stages, Kellie's attentiveness and helpfulness were outstanding. She regularly checked in with us to ensure that all the details were in place and that our vision for the wedding was being brought to life. Kellie provided us with an abundance of planning resources, from vendor recommendations to an incredible Excel doc with every planning resource you could need (we’re talking budget sheets, guest list tracker, packing lists, day-of timelines, etc), which made the entire process much smoother and less stressful. For every question or concern I had, Kellie had an answer. On the day of the wedding, I am speechless for how smoothly Kellie ran the show. From start to finish, her ability to juggle multiple tasks (and people) while remaining calm and composed was truly remarkable. We were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing that Kellie had everything under control. What struck us the most about Kellie was her kind and caring nature. She genuinely cared about us as a couple and went absolutely above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. She took the time to understand our vision and priorities, and her dedication to making our dreams come true was evident in every aspect of the wedding. Her attention to detail, organization, and professionalism were second to none. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that every element of the wedding was executed flawlessly. We cannot express enough gratitude to Kellie for her invaluable contributions to our special day. Without her expertise and dedication, our wedding would not have been the incredible event that it was. Kellie is truly one of a kind, and her passion for creating unforgettable experiences shines through in everything she does. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make their dreams come true!”

I've shot here a number of times (Zola only let me chose 10 out of 30 pics I wanted to show) and it is fantastic. First, the staff is wonderful as they are attentive and they go above and beyond for their couples. I love to see that because, as a photographer, I work closely with the staff so we can make the couple's day just as they imagined. There are great spots to get photos, just a short distance from the clubhouse. As a photographer, that is important because I want to get the amazing shots the couple wants without a delay getting them to the reception. The sunsets on the river are amazing and they get them ALL year. I've shot there in winter, spring, summer, and fall.

Hello!! I am Camille!

I accept everyone and take nothing too seriously! I prefer to capture everyone in sweet and candid looking moments rather than being traditionally posed but I do a bit of both! I would love to get to know you and your future spouse - just send me a message any time!

The quality of her work is truly flawless, with a beautiful, candid, and dreamy aesthetic that captured all the little moments we wanted to remember. Camille made sure I got everything I wanted and more out of my photos. The photo I cherish most to this day isn’t even of my husband and I. My grandfather recently passed away and the photo I cherish most is of him and my littlest sister, dancing together alone on the dance floor. It is a photo I hold dear to me and will cherish always. Camille is an incredibly talented and accommodating photographer, and we are so grateful to have had her be a part of our special day. We have already decided she is the only photographer we want to work with going forward to capture all of the special moments in our lives.”

“Amberly is amazing with all hair types, which was my main concern when choosing a bridal stylist. I had relaxed hair, and several bridesmaids with natural hair, short hair, and extensions. Everyone’s hair looked gorgeous. She flawlessly did my clip-in extensions and hairpiece. Her timing was perfect—she arrived and finished on time, coordinating with my vendors to keep us on schedule. Every time I think about how we looked, it feels like my wedding day all over again!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“I recently celebrated my wedding this past weekend, and while Meagan wasn’t originally my wedding coordinator, she ended up being one of the biggest blessings of the day. She was assisting another vendor but stepped in to help with my wedding—and I am so incredibly grateful that she did. Before the ceremony, Meagan introduced herself and immediately reassured me that everything would be perfect. She promised to support my fiancé and me in any way she could—and she truly followed through. On the wedding day, Meagan brought the calm, guidance, and reassurance that I desperately needed. She was always just one step away—making sure I stayed hydrated, adjusting my dress, ensuring I looked presentable, and even handing me a box of tissues when emotions took over. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Despite only learning about our situation a week before the wedding, she became our biggest advocate. If I could go back, I would have hired her as my full-time wedding planner without hesitation. Her attention to detail, calm demeanor, and ability to handle every detail without ever stressing or alarming me made all the difference. Because of Meagan, our wedding day was seamless and stress-free. Meagan, thank you again for dedicating your weekend to support my fiancé and me. Your hard work and kindness did not go unnoticed, and we are forever grateful.”
