Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

Emie's Photo LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (18 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Montvale, VA

Your wedding day should feel like you, relaxed and joyful, surrounded by the people you love most. It’s about real moments, laughter, happy tears, and the quiet in between times that make the day truly yours. I take a documentary style approach to capture those moments as they happen, so you don’t feel like your day is just a checklist. I step in when needed, like for family formals, but mostly focus on letting you enjoy your day while those candid moments unfold naturally.

Awarded Best of Zola
Emie was such an amazing photographer! Since my initial phone consultation, I knew she would be the perfect person for our elopement! She went above and beyond our expectations and made our special day better than we could’ve imagined! She captured not only photos but our emotions and memories that we made. Since we eloped, we wanted to make sure we had the perfect photographer to capture our day, and Emie was just that! She took amazing photos, gave amazing advice on what to do in the area, and basically planned our entire elopement. She ensured that our day was smooth and completely stress free. When weather seemed as if it would be a problem, Emie was quick with brainstorming alternatives- thankfully the weather was perfect! I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful and stress-free elopement, all thanks to Emie! Thank you so much for all that you do, we could not be more grateful!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so grateful that my husband, Zach, and I discovered Uncommon Cakes at the LGBTQ Wedding Vendor Expo and were able to book them for our wedding! There is such a variety of unique flavors and after our tasting, we decided on mini cupcakes, cheesecake parfaits, a single tier cake and a baked cheesecake. Amanda does an amazing job at communicating, as well as making ideas come to life!! Everything was delicious and decorated beautifully, however the full cheesecake might have been the best dessert out of everything we tried! The reception was very quick but we sat down at the end of the night and ate cheesecake together. It was a lovely moment for just us to share.

Little Acorn Events Co 
Rating: 4.9 (15 reviews)
  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Montvale, VA

Little Acorn Events Co is a full service wedding planning, design, & production company based in Charlottesville, Virginia. We specialize in curating meaningful celebrations & distinctive guest experiences, steeped in beautiful design. Your engagement is a special and finite experience, culminating in a celebration with those you love. It is our true privilege to plan & produce luxurious wedding designs abundant with intentional touches & thoughtful details for a distinctive guest experience. Telling your love story through creative design begins with mindful relationships with our couples & a dedication to your wedding like no other.

Working with Mia and Little Acorn Events was the best decision we made during our planning process, hands down. After a very rocky start to our planning process with another wedding planner, we were extremely skittish to hire another planner, but after our first call with Mia, her genuine care for her couples and belief that everyone deserves a joyful and low-stress engagement came through so clearly. Mia has the lovely combination of being immensely capable and a delight to spend time with, which is important when you are deciding someone you will spend so much time working with and who will be by your side on your wedding day. We sincerely looked forward to our calls and meetings with Mia, and having her calm and joyful presence by our side on our day was a gift. Mia's hard work and kind personality mean that she has an amazing reputation with local vendors. Having that history of trust and good will as the basis for our relationship with the vendors meant we got to work with the very best local vendors who were excited to be a part of the team. We had some big life changes happen during our wedding planning season and Mia was understanding, flexible, and allowed us to focus on the fun parts of planning while taking the most stressful parts off of our plate. She took our day seriously and treated it with the utmost care, while seeing the big picture of life and not feeding into the wedding industrial complex :) One of the best parts of working with Mia is her intentionality in creating moments throughout the day where you and your partner get to soak in the moment and be present. We had seen her calm confidence and skill throughout the planning process, and so had the trust established to simply be able to relax, enjoy the moment, and take it all in when the day came. And isn't that what it's all about?

There aren’t enough stars to rate how amazing working with Alissa and her team was. Besides being the best in the game, Alissa’s professionalism, communication and personality make her stand out far above the rest. We planned our wedding almost 2 years out and as soon as I booked her, I felt instantly better about wedding stress. Between fitting 9 ladies in her chair in one morning, the top tier products she uses, a touch up kit alllll of the vibes she brings, we couldn’t have asked for a better MUA. I truly feel bad for any bride who doesn’t have Alissa and her team on their big day. If you’re looking for a MUA artist, I promise you, THIS is the one! We love you Alissa!!! ️ The Catricala’s

  • Serves Montvale, VA

Although Tori lives on the east coast, her art & lifestyle is largely inspired by the west coast. Tori grew up just outside Los Angeles and her art reflects the airy, relaxed and purposeful atmosphere that exists in the Golden State. The Tori Parker team intends for their photos to reflect a similar air: relaxed but with a powerful undertone of golden hour hues and genuine joy. When Tori isn't taking photos or managing her amazing team of associate photoghers, she enjoys intentional time with Jesus, watching New Girl with her husband, being outdoors with her dogs, and eating the spiciest thing on the menu.

Tori Parker Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day! From our very first interaction, Tori and her team were quick to respond, fun and confident in their approach. They truly captured our vision for the day, delivering stunning and authentic photos that we will cherish forever. Lane, our photographer, was incredible - she captured all the special moments and details, from our fun couple portraits to the most meaningful candid shots. She radiated so much positivity and a calming presence which helped us remain in the moment despite concerns over the forecast! We are over the moon with the photos and memories!

  • Serves Montvale, VA

Hi, I'm Liz! I'm based in Lynchburg, VA. I moved here from Los Angeles where I studied Fashion Design and Merchandising. Photography has been a huge passion of mine since I was in middle school but one class in college that really sparked my interest again. When the Pandemic hit, I was 6 months pregnant and starting to realize that I didn't enjoy my job anymore. I was so tired of working 50-60 hours a week and realized the most important thing to me was to be there to raise my child. So, that was that and here I am.

Working with Rustic Rose Photography was the best experience! She completed both engagement and wedding pictures for us. I am not someone who loves to be in front of a camera, but Liz uses really natural prompts to make you feel like yourself and feel good. At my wedding, she was really supportive and even checked in with me to see if I needed water or food. She’s always prompt and fun to work with. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made when wedding planning. I can’t wait to scheduled more sessions with her in the future because she has a way of capturing the warmth of a moment in such a special way.

My photography journey started in high school, photographing church and community events. From there it was natural transition to begin offering photo sessions to my friends and family, and so Joy Shots was born in 2014.I was privileged to shoot my first wedding for a friend in 2015 and I have since had the honor to photograph over 50 weddings. I love the chances I have to work with couples from their initial engagement session through their wedding day, through capturing their growing families down through the years. To me the people I get to connect with year after year with Joy Shots are more than customers, they are a part of a family.

We were thrilled with Erika and Joy Shots Photography! Erika's communication was clear, vibrant, and quick - she always responded promptly to any questions we had leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Erika was professional, fun, and respectful. She made sure to capture all the special moments while keeping things light and moving smoothly. Erika was often there when we couldn't find our planner, stepping in to keep things on track. She really went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect and we got amazing photos to remember it by. The quality of Erika's work shows through in the vibrant, joyful photos she captured. She helped me with my veil and bustling my dress multiple times. She had my change of shoes when my feet began to hurt! She even let me borrow sunglasses for some super fun pics. We'd HIGHLY recommend Joy Shots Photography for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to beautifully photograph their special memories. She was the best vendor we hired at our wedding, by far.

  • Serves Montvale, VA

Hi! We're Kiersten and Enrique, the faces behind Kanded! Our vibe summed up in three words: Creative, Inclusive, Emotive. Since childhood, we've both had a strong love for art. Enrique's small town upbringing and love for writing infuses our images with warmth and nostalgia. Kiersten's passion for photography started as a young child on her Polaroid where she began her creative visual storytelling. When we're not creating, you'll find us on the hunt for vintage treasures, sinking our toes into the sand (and missing our beloved cats), or enjoying quality time at home with our three adorable fur babies: Ellie, Lola, and Jax.

I recently had an engagement session done with Kanded, and it was everything I could have asked for! I had a very specific vision in mind, and Kiersten and Enrique nailed it. From helping pick a location, doing camera tricks to help achieve the look I wanted (think dreamy vintage fairytale)- they were so helpful and attentive every step of the way! An added bonus is that you’re getting two photographers for the price of one, so you can’t go wrong booking with them :)

Welcome to Solara Ridge—where wide-open skies, mountain views, and blooming fields set the stage for weddings that feel a little more magical and a lot less ordinary. Perched on 59 acres of rolling Virginia countryside, our glass house venue was built with one big idea: your wedding shouldn’t shut you off from the beauty around you. Instead, the mountains, trees, and sky become part of your day—from the “I do’s” all the way to the last dance. But Solara Ridge isn’t just a venue—it’s a working flower farm and tree nursery cared for by our family. That means the land is alive and changing with the seasons, giving your celebration an authentic, natural backdrop (and endless photo opportunities). Think sunsets over the ridges, dinner under twinkle lights, and laughter that carries across the fields. That’s Solara Ridge: a place where nature doesn’t just surround your wedding—it’s woven right into it.

Hello! I'm Christina! *I believe big love happens in the small moments. *I LOVE learning about your love story! *Chasing dreamy light for your portraits thrills me! *My favorite parts of a wedding day are the parts that show off the kind of life you’ve built & tell the story of who you are- the private vows, speeches, & stories shared throughout the day. I live to be the wallflower witnessing & capturing these moments. It is such an honor that I look forward to every weekend.

My husband and I used Golden Gower Photographer to capture our December wedding. Christina captured each moment and every emotion of our day perfectly. Christina as a photographer is kind, warm and encouraging. She has a special ability to make her clients feel comfortable and heard. Christina is quick to respond to any questions or concerns, and is prepared with solutions to calm any nerves. From our engagement shoot, to our wedding day, we are impressed not only with the quantity of pictures, but the quality of the photos as well. It is clear Christina took her time and put thought and care into each individual picture, and we feel so fortunate to have these beautiful pictures to look back on for years to come.

Emily Hancock Photography is now called Oliver & Co! Oliver & Co is a Lynchburg based wedding photography team serving Lynchburg, Roanoke, and Charlottesville VA. We are bringing a modern documentary vibe to the country chic weddings of Virginia.

When booking Oliver & Co we never expected proprietors Emily & James (of the Hancocks) to shoot our wedding. We are eternally grateful and lucky to have had such a professional and positive team to capture the memories of our wedding. It was important to us to not just have portraits but to really capture the spirit and the energy of our intimate event. Emily & James were a dream to work with us, hyping us up and giving us simple prompts as we were posing for photos. The preview images we received 2 days after our wedding were incredible and we could not stop smiling as we scrolled through our full gallery. Emily and James captured the day perfectly.

Jess with Beauty By Jess was truly amazing! I had never had professional makeup done before and Jess eased my nerves, talked to me about my overall vision, and executed it flawlessly. Jess checked in after my trial to make sure I was happy with everything and constantly asked my opinion. I truly could not have asked for a better makeup stylist on my wedding day!
