Veux Beauty (Hair and Makeup)

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 20
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA for additional fees

A luxury beauty experience for the modern woman! My beauty philosophy is simple, "When you look good you feel good. When you feel good you do better".I started Nina Renee beauty because I believe that we all deserve to have the celebrity-style beauty experience of our dreams. As a high-end makeup artist servicing some of Washington DC's most prestigious residents for over eight years, I always found it hard to find my "Glam team".

Awarded Best of Zola
I would recommend NRBeauty Co. to any bride to be. Nina is incredibly attentive and communicative in addition to being transparent about her pricing. Andrea and Andejla were my glam team, and I absolutely loved their work, as did the rest of my bridal party. The makeup and hair lasted for at least 12 hours (likely more). NRBeauty Co. was by far the most professional team I communicated with. I appreciated the portal Nina managed which included all communications, invoices, and glam guides. My bridal party also appreciated the Google form they submitted in advance of the day to share their inspo & desired looks! Nina also confirmed when the glam team was en route the day of the wedding, which was highly appreciated given how stressful the morning-of can be. To top it all off, they ran on time / ahead of schedule the day of the wedding!

Hi I'm Andrew! I first started filming weddings when my sister got married in 2017. I quickly fell in love with the entire process and getting to know all the couples and their guests. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic haha (My guilty pleasure is Hallmark movies, once I walk in the room with it on I have to see how it ends!).

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Magical Multimedia be our videographer for our wedding and my husband and I could not be more impressed! Andrew and his second shooter were very nice and helped make suggestions to create great clips for the film. They captured the key parts of our special day and seamlessly wove it together to create a video that showed the highlights as well as the entirety of our ceremony, first dance, and toasts. Andrew went above and beyond by surprising us with a tablet that was placed in a cover that had our wedding photo on it. Now we can reminisce on our special day any time we want. If you're looking for a videographer, then look no further because this guy is the best!

  • Serves Portsmouth, VA for additional fees

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

I studied Liberal Arts in Spain and my first love was painting, especially painters like Velazquez and Norman Rockwell. I love capturing happiness, elegance and humanity in it's various forms. I have five children of my own and quite a few of my nearly 20 international photography awards are of children, whether at weddings or of my own kids.

Matt Kolf - Photography was the absolute best choice for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, thorough, and client-centered. Matt and his team were kind, attentive, and always available to answer our questions and ensure we felt supported throughout the entire process. Their work was truly flawless - the photos are beautiful, creative, and professional, capturing every emotion and moment in its most raw and artistic form, but beautified. The colors, lighting, and feeling evoked in every photo are a dream come true. If you want a wedding album that captures the most candid, real moments of your day with the most creative and artistic lens, book Matt. Matt had a unique ability to be present and immersed in our day without ever feeling intrusive. He allowed us to direct the shots we wanted, but also knew exactly what to capture on his own. We didn't feel like our day was dominated by photo taking, but we know every important moment was beautifully documented, which is the perfect combination. Matt and his team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect, and we are thrilled with the stunning, documentary-style wedding album that perfectly reflects our special day. We have not stopped looking at each photo in awe, with every guest telling us how perfectly he captured the day. On top of all that, he is KIND, fun, caring, and extremely reliable. He truly goes above and beyond in being both a pleasure to be around and a flawless wedding vendor. He thinks of everything, and is extremely responsive throughout the whole process.

LightStrikes Photography is an international photography team started by lead photographer Raya Ko. Our style is a blend of photojournalism, classic and fine art, with artistic approach. When our team captures the moment, we add just the right amount of creativity, leaving the honest and raw emotions to speak for itself. It is important for us to understand your vision, and by using different angles, light, composition and articism, to create images that are unique and authentic representation of your wedding day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photography team than LightStrikes. From our first meeting to the final gallery delivery, everything felt intentional, artistic, and effortless. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and the images completely captured the emotion and energy of the day. The sneak peeks came fast (and were stunning), and the full gallery was delivered quicker than we expected. We’re so grateful to have these memories documented so beautifully.

Weddings are more than just a job for me—they’re a passion. There’s something so special about capturing the real, unfiltered moments of a wedding day. The happy tears, the quiet glances, the uncontrollable laughter—those are the memories that matter most. My goal is to create photos and films that feel like you—authentic, timeless, and full of emotion. I want you to look back on your wedding day and not just remember how it looked, but how it felt. Let’s make something beautiful together!

Thank you so much for the amazing photos! They are everything we hoped for and more. You captured every emotion, every little detail, and all the joy from our wedding day so beautifully. And the video—wow! The song choices, the editing, the way everything flows together—it’s absolutely perfect. Watching it brings us right back to that magical day, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Every moment was captured so professionally and with so much care. We truly love everything about our photos and video, and we can’t thank you enough for preserving these memories in such a special way!
