Grottoes, VA
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $2,400

Filmmaking has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Cinema. However, it wasn't until I started filming weddings that I really fell in love with filmmaking. Being able to film couples at such a pivotal moment in their lives that is often filled with immense love is so fulfilling, gratifying and such an honor to be a part of.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kristan is very passionate about her work in the videography buisness! Her communication and work ethic is by far the best. She worked great with our photographer and was very involved in each part of the day! She is unbelievably talented in catching the perfect moments and then putting them all together for the video. The video of my wedding day will always be special to me as I look back and remember the toasts, dances, ceremony, pictures, and so much more. Without a talented videographer like Kristan, I wouldn’t have these special memories saved to look back on. If you book Kristan Wilkins Films, you will not regret it!

Jeremy did the video for my wedding this June. He was great to work with, friendly, and professional. We chose him to video our wedding because he had such a wide range of options for how much or how little coverage we wanted, and we could tailor everything to fit what we were looking for. We felt his prices were very reasonable, and we loved the final products! Our video is a great documentation of our wedding day and we are really happy with it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ket was absolutely lovely to work with. She did an amazing job at our perfect, pink, antique-inspired wedding. Ket made me feel completely at ease and truly took the time to explain things to me and understand our vision. As an anxious bride, I really appreciated our several planning calls, tablescape mockup, her virtual CAD modeling, and that she even invited me to go to the floral wholesaler with her to select our roses. I also loved being able to follow the behind-the-scenes process of her creating the arrangements on Instagram. Ket’s positive attitude, calming words, and kind smile during even the crazy parts of our wedding day truly touched me. Despite rain, Ket and her team set up our arbor through the storm and in record time (and with a baby on her back). She truly is a super woman! Our other vendors commented that they’d never seen anyone put up an arbor so fast and beautifully. Everything turned out even more beautifully than we could have hoped for or dreamed of! Ket was able to donate our roses to a nursing home after our wedding which was the sweetest touch. We appreciated Ket’s commitment to sustainable practices. Ket is incredibly kind, helpful, patient, talented, and passionate. We would recommend One Last Avocado Floral Design to all of our friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
Many amazing qualities - from the sustainable use of in-season plants, aromatic plants, and willingness to help transform bridesmaids bouquets to center-pieces post ceremony, I couldn't recommend Honeysuckle Farm enough. What I appreciated even more was her flexibility in working with my budget - while several florists in the area turned me down when I wasn't able to meet larger minimums, Honeysuckle Farms listened to my priorities list and crafted an offer tailored to what I most wanted. Totally transparent pricing and high-quality work. Florals were not my priority, so we didn't communicate too frequently. When we did speak Honeysuckle was kind, considerate, and showed she was thoughtful and deliberate in questions/responses. I think the communication quantity would have changed if I had more specific requests or a larger purchase. My jaw DROPPED when I saw the wedding arch she made for me. This was far beyond my wildest dreams and (I felt) a REALLY good price. Would recommend Honeysuckle to anyone, but particularly for folks who aren't looking to spend 5k for bouquets and basics***(obviously pricing is based on market and seasonality).

Seriously this was one of our best decisions in wedding planning. This venue has it ALL! We were looking for mountain views, outdoor ceremony with indoor reception, bring your own beer/booze (with hired legal bartender and correct licensing), bring your own food with no additional charge, on-site his&hers changing rooms, enough room for 100 people with a dance floor, and a cute cabin vibe. Not only did Faithbrooke meet all our requirements, it blew our expectations away! Faithbrooke is pretty much the only affordable, reasonable venue left in the greater DC/Shenandoah area that still is absolutely gorgeous and appears very high-end. The best part was Cort's kind, attentive, responsive customer service. He was truly incredible to work with, always easy to reach (which was so important), and worked with any special circumstances we had. They are more than accommodating here, so don't wait....seriously....book with Faithbrooke!!!!!

I found that through this gift of photography, it’s a way to express the love I have for people and it’s truly an honor to capture those moments that are once in a lifetime. To me, photography is more than taking photos, it's being a supportive friend throughout your day. It’s a privilege to have your trust and it's not something I take lightly. When delivering your gallery, there's no words to describe how I feel knowing this is a piece of history for you and your loved ones

I had the great pleasure of working with Nancy when one of my couples hired her (I own a venue and provide planning/coordination services). She was extremely professional, while still be fun. She put the couple at ease which produced stellar photos. They had fun and laughed which made all the photos to look natural rather than staged. I work with photographers all over the state and beyond and I can truly say Nancy is a joy to work with and her images are stunning! You won’t be disappointed by hiring her to photograph your wedding or any important life events.

We had such an excellent experience with Paul on our wedding day! He was so communicative leading up to the day, as well as the actual wedding day. He was friendly, professional, punctual and worked so well alongside our photographer for the day, filming all of the lovely moments we may have otherwise missed (dance floor, cocktail hour, etc). He also filmed our first look, which was one of the moments that I most wanted to have on film, and made it such a fun experience. We watch our video every year on our wedding anniversary (it's been almost 13 years!), and we look back so fondly on that day because of the sweet moments that Paul captured - and have also shown it to our kids, who love to watch it over and over again. We highly recommend Paul to also capture your wedding day!

From the very beginning, their communication was timely, productive, and incredibly detailed - they truly catered to our vision every step of the way. The quality of their work was modern, romantic, and absolutely stunning. The sprawling, scenic grounds provided a spacious and tasteful backdrop for our special celebration. We are so grateful to the Early Mountain Vineyards team for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

I am a destination photographer based in the Shenandoah Valley, VA. I capture everything from proposals to engagements, elopements, and more traditional micro-weddings. My editing style leans towards vibrant and true-to-color, but I am creatively inclined to match your vision in whatever way best tells your story. I love working with unique couples, so bring all your fun, quirky ideas!

Kristy is always wonderful to work with! She has taken many pictures of me and my family. She makes the experience fun and easy going. Kristy is great about getting the pictures back quick and every single photo always looks amazing! She is truly one of the best!

Montlaurel was a wonderful wedding venue to work with. Their communication throughout the planning process was interactive, professional and very clear. The quality of their work and value was top-notch - the venue was well-maintained, versatile and had an intimate feel. They went above and beyond to ensure the couples special day went smoothly, setting aside a signature beverage of their choice and having their selected appetizers ready right after ceremony so they didn't miss a thing. I would highly recommend Montlaurel to any couple looking for a wedding venue that provides excellent service and attention to detail.

  • Starts at $5,300

Over the years, we've enjoyed sharing our farm with our friends and family for their uniquely beautiful weddings. Seeing our extraordinary aerie from their perspective reminded us to take in how special it is, and it inspired us to redesign and renovate a former greenhouse. We’ve created a belvedere of sorts with walls of windows that make a feature of our wondrous view of the Shenandoah Valley.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has onsite accommodations
  • Surrounded by beautiful vineyards
  • Rustic-chic setting

Venue considerations

  • Does not provide event staff
  • No in-house lighting and sound packages available
  • Does not have a dance floor
Showalter’s was one of two venues on our short list, and we’re very glad we decided to go with them. We wanted a mountain view during the ceremony and the terrace was absolutely perfect. The greenhouse is gorgeous and looks amazing both in person and in photographs and was the perfect backdrop. We served cider and apple cider donuts and our guests loved both. It felt so unique and special! Working with everyone at the venue was incredibly easy, and they were so kind and welcoming to us and felt like they really wanted to make sure our day went well. We booked all of the AirBnBs on the property and would definitely recommend doing so. The “bridal” suite off of the Greenhouse was great for staging and getting a moment away during the wedding, having the extra space for actually getting ready was a very good choice (especially with larger wedding parties and lots of people doing hair and makeup). We also stayed in one of the AirBnBs the night before and afterwards, and being on the property was incredibly convenient as hotels in Harrisonburg are a bit of a hike. The AirBnBs were cute and worked great for our purposes! We stayed in one of the AirBnBs through to the Monday after our Saturday wedding which was great and made it so that we didn’t have to rush getting everything out the morning after the wedding.
