  • Serves Gloucester, VA

Hey there! I'm Hannah, your go-to, candid-photo-loving wedding storyteller. I'm Hannah Hardy, a passionate wedding photographer based in the heart of Virginia. With an eye for the moments that matter most, I'm here to ensure that your special day is not only captured but transformed into a visual narrative that you'll treasure forever. My journey as a wedding photographer began with a deep fascination for emotions, connections, and the unspoken language of love. If you would like to connect with me, please visit my website to get started, this makes it easier for me to get in touch with you!

There are no words to describe the breathtaking photos that we received back from our October 14, 2023 wedding!! Every single picture is stunning and there isn’t one single picture that we (even a little bit) don’t like. Hannah and her SIL showed up and quickly got to work. That day it was raining from dawn until the start of the ceremony and they showed up with smiles and raincoats to get every shot imaginable. They not only captured the sentiments of us but also captured the party and joy in everyone else there. I can not recommend Quinn Photography enough and will 1000 times out of 10 pick them for all of my photography needs! If you’re still in limbo on finding a photographer rather it be for a wedding, family, couple, birthday, holiday or whatever your heart desires stop what you’re doing and reach out to them.

I cannot imagine our day without the CRC team! We utilized coordination services for the last 4 months and I am SO thankful we had this incredible team. Jenna was always quick to respond and anticipated our needs. Jenna had a form to organize all of our thoughts and worked out the details to mean fewer vendor meetings on our end. She worked seamlessly with our vendors who continuously complimented her to my husband and I. Our guests have told us it was the most organized wedding they have ever been to! This team is clearly full of incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and, most importantly, kindhearted people who made it clear they were there for us and excited for us! Any fires that may have happened, Jenna put out without me even knowing.

Awarded Best of Zola
My name is Hannah Lynch (Hardy), and I am the owner and photographer of Quinn Photography LLC. I had the pleasure of working alongside John for my bride Reine back in April of 2023. John was very professional, and even knew to not shoot over my shoulder, which is something I have to remind other videographers as it can ruin my shot for my brides photos. Which is actually something you will always want to make sure of is if who you hire can work well with others if you are hiring two different photo and video businesses. His turn around time for my brides video was absolutely astounding, as he even had send the video to me to look at, and it had only been but a mere few weeks after the wedding day. I'd like to also include the fact that John's creativity in his video he sent to me was absolutely breathtaking. I just know whoever were to hire John would absolutely love his work as much as I and his past clients do. 10/10 highly recommend.

The DJ Company of Virginia 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $995
  • Serves Gloucester, VA

Our trusted team of Virginia Beach DJs specialize in weddings but will bring the party to any Hampton Roads event. You and your guests will have an awesome time dancing and singing the night away. All while receiving personalized attention from a well-qualified DJ and a package that fits your budget.

Let me start off by saying that I didn't think I "needed" a DJ for my wedding, so I didn't budget for one initially. It was about halfway through wedding planning that my now-husband and I decided we should invest in one, so it would be one less thing for us to have to do on our wedding day. Budget was super important to us when booking a DJ, but we also wanted someone who was experienced and knew what they were doing. The DJ Company of Virginia did not disappoint! Nikki and Devail helped me during the booking and planning process, and helped pick the right DJ to use for our venue. When planning, we were able to suggest a bunch of songs that both of us love and also got to make a list of any songs we didn't want to hear. Our guests were able to suggest songs on their own, and I gave those to the DJ beforehand (it was a question on our RSVP form). If you wanted your guests to suggest songs during the reception, I know they would be able to do that too! Jose was the DJ for our wedding and he was super friendly and easy to talk to! My husband and I did a "fake out" for our first dance, where we made it seem like we would do the standard slow dance, but then actually use a fun, upbeat song. Jose made sure he understood what we wanted and our guests LOVED it! Jose played so many songs that I like and love that I found myself on the dancefloor a bunch. I sure got in a workout! If you need a DJ in the Hampton Roads area, you should book the DJ Co. of VA. I wasn't sure we could afford a DJ for our wedding, but their prices were perfect for our needs!

I want to thank Alisha at Productionista Events for being an integral part of making my wedding day a beautiful success! Alisha is very professional and goes above and beyond her job description. She was more than my Wedding Day of Coordinator she was my friend, my therapist, and more. As many brides already know, planning a wedding can be very stressful, and you don't know which vendors to trust and have to review so many contracts. Through Alisha, I was introduced to quality vendors she personally worked with, so I knew I would be surrounded by people I could trust on my special day. Alisha even caught a scheduling mistake in my DJ's contract. Alisha is very organized, kept track of all my vendors' payment dates, and kept me on budget. My wedding day was so beautiful and STRESS-FREE, and I have Alisha to thank for that. She even helped me with the bustling of my dress (my dress had 5 layers to bustle, so you could only imagine how difficult that task was). Thank you, Alisha, for your kindness, patience, for listening to me vent on occasion, professionalism, and just being a beautiful person inside and out. I can't thank you enough! If you are getting married, please work with Alisha you won't regret it!

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!

I met Esra almost a decade ago while she was photographing my friend's wedding and I immediately booked her for myself after. Her professionalism on one side, but the way she makes you feel so comfortable in front of her lens is what she does best. Since then I have booked many sessions in Los Angeles/Orange County from professional headhots, family sessions, from endless pet photoshoots with every dog I had, she accommodates all of the ideas and themes I come up with and brings my vision to life. I even traveled for Virginia just so that she can shoot my wedding, and soon she will be taking newborn photos for us. Esra cares so much about her work that without even realizing she becomes family and you start to not think of a life milestone without her capturing the moments. A true passion for her work, absolutely recommend!

DeLine Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Gloucester, VA

My excited, caring and spunky with a side of ‘hell yeah’ personality makes people feel comfortable, protected and loved. I meet people, hug them within seconds and it’s not awkward. Also, catch me slingin' jokes and dancing while I work or just on a Tuesday. I started my business three years ago, since then I've captured 102 weddings and over 200 couples, I can't image doing anything else! I’m married to Alex, love of my life, cat-doggy daddy, and muse. We fell in love after I called him a loser the moment we met. Since then we've lived in Hawaii, traveled the world and added two fur babies!

When you choose DeLine Photography, you're choosing a partner and friend, not a vendor! My wife and I are professional photographers and videographers, so the selection process wasn't taken lightly for our own wedding. Cat made the short list immediately and then after meeting with her, getting to know how professionally structured her and her team are, it was a no brainer. Oh, not to mention her style of photo taking and editing is natural. Like us. If the grass is green and the sky is blue, that is how they should appear on the final product. I digress... It's not just about the business portion, but also the personal interaction. Our engagement shoot was so freeing. So much so that we all shared a drink together and took time to understand we are actually similar people with similar interests, not just a business transaction. I had the pleasure of meeting Ashley, another member of her team, as the second shooter for our wedding day and I can say without a doubt, that those things we enjoyed so much about the engagement session with Cat are also present with Ashley. I have been the photog or videographer when the groom is getting ready and I learned things from Ashley that I will use to make the next groom I work with feel comfortable and natural. When Cat arrived on our wedding day, rocking a sick blue jumper, ready for comfort and functionality, I was immediately at ease. This is a person that knows what she needs to do to be at her best and recognizing that allowed me to turn my vendor brain off and just enjoy every second of our special day. Lastly, the delivery process of sneak peeks, a surprise video from our final dance and blog post has been top notch and has given my wife and I the ability to relive so many moments together and with friends and family, even before the gallery is sent. Our interactions with those family and friends have warmed our hearts because their words about how amazing their time was at our wedding, gets backed up by those moments captured for a lifetime. If you have made it this far and haven't booked Cat yet, this is me telling you to do it now! She isn't just a vendor, she's a friend! And who doesn't have room for one more friend to celebrate one of the biggest days of their life?

Hey there! We are Devail & Nikki, your husband and wife wedding entertainment team. 196 Events is a professional Wedding DJ & Photo Booth company based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. However, we serve couples across Hampton Roads, RVA, Central VA and the Shenandoah Valley.

196 Events was awesome to work with, and we would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for DJ services! They were extremely communicative and responded to every random question we had very promptly. I don’t think there were any issues all night with the microphones or music–everyone was audible and the music was great! I was very particular about what songs I wanted to have playing everywhere other than the dancing part of the reception, and they were able to play the songs I wanted and then find fun songs to encourage dancing during the reception! The website/app they use to help plan out the wedding timeline and associated music/mic needs was super easy to use and made it easy to keep everything straight. Devail and Nikki were both very, very kind people, and very fun and easy to work with! We also used their photo booth services, which was super fun for both us and our guests. We got all of the pictures sent to us digitally also, which have been a blast to look back through. And on top of ALL of that – they also worked with my now-husband to help him sing and play a surprise song for me on a keyboard! Nikki and Devail, thank you both so much for helping to make our wedding such a fun and memorable experience!!

As I write this review, I am reminded of all of the stressful thoughts a bride goes through as she plans her big day with the love of her life, and then I remember how great it was that I found the best location and person to work with to coordinate our big day! Ruthanne and her entire event staff at Kiln Creek Golf Club & Resort deserve all of the love and recognition for helping to orchestrate a seamless event from start to finish. I was unfamiliar with venues in this area, and my now husband and I searched from the Outer Banks to Newport News to find something that fit our vision and price point, and Kiln Creek did all of that. For both of us, it was important that the venue gave us that "This is it" feeling! All of the venues we looked at in Suffolk, Norfolk, and VA Beach were just missing something. Then Kiln Creek Golf Club & Resort popped up on my searches and I am sure glad it did! Ruthanne went out of her way to make sure all of my questions were answered and that she saw my vision properly for the big day. That is what was so amazing, that she puts every bride’s vision as a huge priority and she was there to make sure we set up times to meet to go over everything in fine detail. She even added extra special touches because she wanted to, and they were perfect. We stayed at the Lodge, ate at the Nest for dinner one evening prior to the event as well as breakfast the day after the wedding, and the rooms were spacious, beds comfortable and food was delicious! Shout out to Jordan, Christine, Crystal and all of the other amazing servers and staff on location! My husband and I had the most amazing day of our lives! All thanks to Ruthanne and her amazing team, from the chef, to the recommended vendors, who were equally awesome, for seeing my vision and making sure everything came together, perfectly! Thank you, Ruthanne and all of the staff at Kiln Creek!

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.

Liz, Taylor, Trin, Jade, Jose -- I truly cannot express in words how wonderful the entire team at Darling & Dapper is... but I'm sure going to try! From start to finish, Liz and her team of beauty gurus were all incredibly kind, consultative, and patient for our wedding preparations. The day of my hair and makeup trials was also the day I was taking my bridal portraits; this context is important because while I was in Taylor's chair getting started on hair, I got a text from one of my bridesmaids saying that she was sick and could not be there with me for the bridal portraits as originally planned... at which point I started panic-texting everybody else I could think of that could have potentially come to help me get changed, haul my belongings around the venue, etc. But as an hour passed and I hadn't found anybody who was available (and my blood pressure started to skyrocket), Taylor assured me that if I couldn't get anybody, at the very least she and Trin and the other folks working in the studio that day would get me changed and ready before I got in the car. I mean, how kind is that?! Trin then started on my makeup and was incredibly sweet and patient with me as I neurotically checked my phone between applications LOL! Everybody was hyping me up and keeping energy high, and by the time we were done, miraculously another one of my bridesmaids was able to flex and come meet me at the venue AND I felt absolutely gorgeous!! Fast forward to my wedding day - Taylor, Trin, and Jade were already at the venue when I pulled up, ready to rock! Everybody was thrilled with their hair and makeup looks, and Trin was more than happy to help me incorporate a different shade and formula of lipstick that I had found after the trials. With 8 ladies and a few gents on the schedule, they kept everything moving smoothly and I never felt stressed or rushed for a single second (at least, not by them, hah!). One of my bridesmaids had originally decided on makeup only/against having her hair done because of a horrendous prior experience she had with other "beauty" vendors in a different wedding party years ago - as in, this was legitimately traumatizing for her. But as she saw and heard how lovely this team was, she quietly asked me if I thought they could add her in as well - oh my heart!!! I asked Taylor, and she said that we seemed to be on-track and it shouldn't be a problem, and very soon after my bridesmaid was in the chair getting hyped up and treated with absolute care and attention and, yes, I would call it love. The "manscaping" that Taylor provided for my husband and bonus kid especially was perfect, and she put them at ease with her humor and expertise. I would be remiss if I did not also give a huge shout out to Jose, who fixed up my horrible self-dyed and self-trimmed hair a few weeks before my trials, and provided a fabulous hair cut for my husband shortly before the wedding as well! I am soooooo so appreciative to all of these fine folks, and we're both excited to start visiting Liz and her team in her gorgeous studio for regular hair services, all the way from Portsmouth. Thank you all so very much for everything!!!

  • Serves Gloucester, VA

My name is Samantha and I have been passionate about photography my entire life. I always had a camera in my hand! I had an epiphany that I could pursue photography as a career. I worked in a local photography studio before graduating high school and fell even more in love with it! Since then, I achieved my degree in Photography and worked in a couple other studios until I made the leap and started Samantha Lynn Photography back in 2009. Portrait photography is my absolute favorite medium. Just the thought that I am making a person happy by giving them the service of memories that will last a lifetime makes me feel so good about what I do.

Samantha Lynn Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first met Samantha to do our bridal portraits and wedding photos, we knew she was the perfect photographer for us. Her communication was always clear and trustworthy, and she was so kind and accommodating throughout the entire process. The quality of her work is truly amazing - the photos she captured of our special day are breathtaking and she delivered them to us so quickly. We've continued to use Samantha for all of our big milestone photos over the past 5 years and she has never disappointed. We can't recommend Samantha Lynn Photography highly enough - 10/10!

At Adorn Artistry Studio, we pride ourselves on offering on-location wedding hair services that provide nothing short of a lavish experience for our clients. From the moment we step into the luxurious setting of a bride's chosen venue, we immerse ourselves in creating a serene and opulent atmosphere. Our goal is to go above and beyond to ensure that every bride feels like a star on her special day. We begin by taking the time to understand each bride's unique vision and desires, meticulously curating a personalized hair design that complements her style and enhances her natural beauty.

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!

Holly V Rice Photography is an engagement and wedding photography business based out of both Hampton Roads and Richmond, VA! I describe my style as warm, classic, and joyful. I love celebrating LOVE in all of its forms! Nothing makes me happier than getting to know a couple and getting to capture their special moments.

Holly was so great to work with! She did a great job throughout the day and the lead up! Highly recommend booking her for extra events leading up to the wedding! Engagement photos were included in the package we purchased from her, but we also booked her to take photos at our engagement party and rehearsal dinner. My husband is not a huge photo person, so having those extra opportunities to meet with Holly and get everyone more comfortable together really led to some great photos! She is bright and bubbly and helped keep everything running smoothly. We also had some trouble getting our bouquets put together and she jumped right in and helped us make sure they were looking perfect for the walk down the aisle (and the photos!). Holly captured everything perfectly - from the serious "formal" photos, to the funny moments and the dance party at the end. She captured everything so perfectly! Holly was absolutely the right choice when it came to capturing some of our most important moments 3
