Fast forward to today as a DC wedding photographer, I want this for you. Nothing gives me more pleasure than capturing wedding photos that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.

On top of that, Lee was there to calm my nerves! The smiles and the waves he’d give us assured me I was in good hands. The bridal party and guests loved him! He included a portable photo booth (not those giant ones that were in the way) which had the options for gifs or regular photos and were sent directly to our guests phones! Everyone loved it!!

Lastly their attention to detail is impeccable. I’ve attached images below of Katie’s personally designed signature drink menu that incorporates our wedding colors and a hint of holiday cheer.

Willow Creek Event Planning is a fast growing, women-owned business that specializes in Event Planning, Coordination, and Photo Booth Rentals. With our background in corporate planning, our initial introduction into the wedding industry was a match made in heaven. Since then we have been partnering with couples all over the DMV (and beyond) to ensure seamless, memorable events.

We hired Willow Creek Event Planning to support the day of coordination for our wedding in March. They did an excellent job communicating with us and our other vendors. They were on top of every detail on our wedding day and everything we had planned happened successfully. We had inclement weather on our wedding day and they were on top of any changes that had to be made and communicated with everyone at our venue. Their communication was clear and professional. I really felt like they took a load off our shoulders on the day of the wedding, which allowed us to stay in the moment and enjoy the day. Thank you so much to Emory and Sarah at Willow Creek Event Planning for helping make our wedding day extremely memorable and amazing!

Jenn was absolutely incredible to work with. I felt SO lucky when I came across her work on social media - which was genuinely more beautiful than photographers charging 2x or more. I probably inquired with 10 photographers beforehand, but the moment I found Jenn, knew we'd choose her for her beautiful work. We loved our engagement photos, and she gave us (stunning) sneak peek wedding photos the day after our wedding! From her "detail" shots, teaching us how to pose (thanks!), scoping out the best spots for beautiful shots, creating a wedding day photography timeline for us - she was so professional, creative, and easy to communicate with. Also as a side note, she is an engineer and I don't know how she is blessed in equal measure with both left-brain precision and right-brain creativity. She also has some very cool options, like Super8 film, polaroids, etc. that we opted to add on - her work is timeless and beautiful and I can't recommend her highly enough. Jenn - thank you so much for capturing these moments for us to look back on!

Introducing J.J.Ash Events And Designs, your premier partner in crafting unforgettable wedding experiences throughout D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Led by the seasoned master planner, Ashanti Neal, our team is dedicated to translating your individual style into a celebration that reflects your essence. At J.J.Ash Events And Designs, we thrive on building genuine connections with our clients, taking the time to understand your vision and aspirations intimately. Ashanti and her team are passionate about guiding couples through every step of the planning journey, infusing each detail with creativity and precision.

Working with J.J. Ash Events and Designs for a Jacksonville wedding was an absolute dream. I was the cake artist, and Ashanti handled the florals. When the bride shared her vision, I immediately thought of Ashanti because I’ve worked with her before and absolutely love her work. She’s one of the rare designers who can balance creativity with realism while delivering flawless execution. For this wedding, we had to transform an inspiration photo into a glam-style red wedding design, and Ashanti absolutely delivered. The bride wanted florals showcased inside acrylic tiers for the cake—a unique and challenging concept. These acrylic tiers had to be sourced from London, measured precisely, customized with Ashanti’s florals, and transported from Virginia to Florida and survive 3-4 days. Not only did the floral design make the journey, but it also held up beautifully throughout the wedding. The result? Stunning florals that tied the cake seamlessly into the overall wedding design. The bride was overjoyed, the guests were amazed, and I was blown away. Together, we created a once-in-a-lifetime piece for a deserving couple and seeing the bride’s ecstatic reaction made all the effort worth it. Ashanti’s talent speaks for itself, but what truly sets her apart is her professionalism. She’s communicative, detail-oriented, and incredibly down-to-earth. She knew exactly how to bring the vision to life and worked closely with me to ensure every detail was perfect. Honestly, I couldn’t have pulled this off without her expertise. Good on J.J. Ash for requesting reviews from vendors and guests—it’s a smart move that highlights the joy they create for couples. I’ve seen Ashanti and her team work tirelessly through weddings, sometimes staying until the very end (I’m usually there past the cake cutting, haha!). By the time the dust settles, the couple is married, their photos are stunning, and their videos capture every magical moment. Reflecting on those moments reminds me how much of a privilege it is to be part of such special events. As a vendor, I appreciated how communicative and organized Ashanti was throughout the process. She asked all the right questions, provided clear instructions, and made herself available if I needed clarification. Unfortunately, not everyone in this industry is that dependable. I’ve seen vendors drop the ball, fail to respond, or avoid accountability—but not J.J. Ash. Ashanti and her team were on top of every detail and worked to have all vendors comply and work together seamlessly. Their dedication and professionalism made this collaboration a joy, and the end result was nothing short of magical. Their results don’t lie—J.J. Ash Events and Designs truly delivers excellence. Hats off to Ashanti and her team for creating unforgettable moments for their clients. I can’t wait to work with them again! — @ButtercreamPlease • Modern wedding and celebration cakes
