My journey into the wedding industry may be unconventional, but it has given me the skills and expertise to execute flawless events with ease. I started my career as a civil engineer, managing large-scale projects where problem-solving, attention to detail, and seamless coordination were essential. While I loved the technical side of it, what truly excited me was bringing a vision to life—orchestrating every moving piece to ensure a successful outcome. Now, I’ve combined my love for organization and creativity into wedding coordination and event planning, where I help couples turn their dream weddings into reality.

I’m the owner of Nines & Co. Candle Rentals, and we’ve now had the pleasure of working with Bashan on two weddings — both absolutely seamless experiences! She is so professional, organized, and kind, making it effortless for vendors to do their part and trust that every detail will come together beautifully. For both weddings, we were able to come in, set up, and know that Bashan would handle everything from there — including making sure all of our candles were perfectly glowing for guests to enjoy a romantic, candlelit reception. She communicates so well leading up to the event and keeps everyone informed throughout the day. It’s always such a joy to work with someone who genuinely cares about her couples and creates such a smooth, collaborative experience for everyone involved!

I live for documenting the connections between people—the genuine, unscripted, deeply human moments that tell a real story. I’m a wedding photographer with a fine art meets photojournalism style, which I began to cultivate while attending the Corcoran College of Art + Design in DC. I believe in “happily ever afters” because I found mine with my husband, Jared. We've been married for 20 years. I love photographing couples who (like me) have found their person—their best friend, partner, and soulmate. My mission is to capture love in its purest form and turn it into timeless art you’ll cherish forever.

Atalie Day Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Atalie was responsive, super friendly, understanding, flexible, and encouraging throughout the entire process. Her communication style put us at ease and made planning our wedding photography a breeze. The quality of her work is truly stunning - beautiful, clear, elegant, and artistic. Atalie was a calming presence on our wedding day, directing the shots exactly as we had requested. She was always in the right place at the right time, ensuring we got all the photos we wanted. We were amazed to receive a huge preview just days after the wedding, and the final gallery was delivered on time. We absolutely loved the pictures and would highly recommend Atalie Day Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. Every time I look at the pictures again, I find more details that she captured and I'm so thankful! I would choose her over and over and over again!

I was initially torn about having a videographer for our 2021 wedding but ultimately decided to make it an addition thanks to a recommendation for Marc. Mako Productions was budget friendly offering a variety of packages. Marc was very kind and listened to my vision and inspiration and was able to make it happen. I was worried it would be awkward to be filmed but Marc blended in and worked with our photographers seamlessly. We didn’t even notice he was there in the best way. He captured some fantastic footage and the end product was just what we were hoping for! Each time we watch our wedding video it brings back all the rush of emotions and happiness from that day. I am so thankful we had Mako Productions capture our day. If you’re on the fence about videography or even if you already know you want it, I would certainly recommend Marc!

I’m here to make you feel seen, safe, and celebrated - because the best art happens when you’re allowed to simply be yourself. You bring the story; I’ll build the vision.

I was apprehensive at first about having videography at our wedding (but my husband really wanted it) I was worried about having a bunch of cameras all around and in my face all day and it could not have been further from that.

CJ was a life saver for our wedding! Starting with meeting him for the first time, he was super understanding and helped guide us with what our ideal wedding sounded like. He was super approachable and responsive to our questions. When we sent him our playlists for what we wanted him to play he went over each song and made sure he had the correct song by the correct artist which was super helpful. Now for where he saved our wedding! Our venue made a mistake of using our props for a wedding the night before but when CJ found out, he offered to use his cold sparks for us which was absolutely amazing! He kept the party alive and the fun flowing! We had so many guests come up to us during and after asking us if where we found CJ and loved his work.

I hosted my daughter-in-laws Hundred Acre Wood themed baby shower brunch at Walden Country Club on 12/8/24. From the beginning and planning with Ilene Murphy everything went smoothly. She even gave me great recommendations for things which worked out well. On the day of the event, I was so delighted with the special creative touches. The sign for the shower had a Hundred Acre Wood map on it, the napkins were folded into tree shapes, and the juice bottles for the mimosa bar had Pooh characters on them. To top it off the food was delicious thanks to Alice and team and the service was impeccable. It was a magical day! Thanks to Ilene, Alice, Grace and the entire staff.

I cannot recommend Maddy and Cass enough for someone who needs help on their big day! I was pretty set on planning when it came to vendors, however I was completely lost on the logistical aspect of the wedding day itself. Maddy and Cass were lifesavers in creating the perfect timeline with plenty of Plan B options (which we utilized for weather!). They were so thorough, responding with the most thoughtful emails to some of my silly questions. We hired them for "wedding management", but they did so much more than that. They had an intro call with us, came to my house & met my parents, went to our walk through, had another final call, and were with us from the morning of the wedding day until midnight. They thought of creative solutions for me to address vendors when things got a little hairy, and even offered to reach out to my vendor for me. The day of packet they created was unbelievable. They were everything I needed to keep my day stress free.

I cannot recommend O’real Bakery enough and plan to every time I get the chance. For our tasting the owner Moyofore met me at a location with the most beautifully packaged boxes to open at home so our family could taste with us. Choosing was so very difficult! I think I will need to order the coconut cake separately for a different occasion because it was our second runner up choice. The day-of cake was delivered on time, set up beautifully for our outdoor event with a protective cover that didn’t distract from its beauty, and wow was it stunningly decorated. Perfection. The best part was eating it OMG. My guests were raving!! Not one leftover slice…except for the top of the cake which we will save for our anniversary.

Natalie (plus her Ridgebay Events decorator!) was EXCEPTIONAL as our day of coordinator. She executed our vision perfectly and ran our set up, reception, and break down so smoothly. She is impressively organized, attentive, and easygoing. I *almost* wish I could have another wedding just to hire her again!! We highly, highly recommend booking Natalie and the Ridgebay Events team! ️ Anna & Richard

Shallom Bakery planned my 40th birthday and it was all shades of amazing. From the start, they listened carefully and took notes to understand exactly what I wanted. They went beyond just baking and helped bring my full vision to life. They sourced some of my vendors, followed up with them, and made sure everything was in place. By the time I arrived, my venue was fully ready. I did not have to worry about anything. Everything flowed smoothly. They also made sure my guests were well fed and properly taken care of. That level of attention stood out. Shallom Bakery is truly top notch. I give them 5 stars.

Awarded Best of Zola
I honestly don’t want to review her cause someone might steal her from me haha she’s a hidden gem ! A diamond in the rough ! I used to hate when other people would do my makeup but not with her . With any occasion I have used her she always made the look how I wanted it… whether soft with a glow or over the top with a bold lip . I come from a family of artists and her work is art , your face is a canvas she will never paint the same picture , she is all about giving you the personalized look the goes with your skin tone , vibe , outfit or anything else your thinking . She is truly gifted in her craft , and that’s why I call her my wizard, she just works magic ! … also I’d add so many more photos to share but it would let me
