Josie was the one of best decisions we made for our wedding! She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and thorough. She builds a relation with the couple so everyone is comfortable, and takes the time to get to know you. She asks for input each step of the way, and makes sure that the couples desired shots and ideas are clear to her. She kept us sane throughout the process, and took charge when needed. We are so thankful to have found a friend in her, and so blessed to have had her as our wedding photographer!

I am the founder of a micro flower farm turned floral design studio. My journey began with a simple dream of cultivating beautiful blooms, but as the petals bloomed, so did my love for the art of floral design. I discovered a profound joy in curating unforgettable experiences through floral aesthetics. Through my journey, I have come to recognize that every petal tells a story, every stem holds a memory, and every bouquet is an expression of love and celebration. Let me be your guide through the enchanting world of flowers, where each arrangement becomes a reflection of your journey and a testament to the love you share.

Blush and Sage Design did the florals at my wedding and I can not say enough about what an incredible job they did. With very little guidance from me, they executed PERFECTLY on my vision of fall, fun, colorful florals in my bouquets AND my bud vases. I got countless compliments on what everything looked like and was so, so happy with all of it. Blush and Sage was a DREAM to work with and I really can't recommend them enough for your wedding!

I am so glad that I chose Nina Renee Beauty for my wedding day. From the very beginning, Nina had so many ideas and was willing to answer all of my super specific questions. I am an admirer of makeup and hair, with little experience lol. I really just shared my vision with Nina and she let me know what I needed! They completely over delivered on quality of work and customer service!! I also highly recommend their hair extension rental. So easy and the extensions really amplified my hairstyle. By the way! My bridesmaids all felt that this was their favorite hair and makeup experience!

Kelsey Cuervo Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Sanford, VA

Kelsey Cuervo photography began out of a love of art and a proclivity to create, and evolved into a passion for capturing genuine connection in an artful way. I approach my clients with a desire to capture their genuine connection using their love story as my source of inspiration.

There is nobody we would have rather had with us throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. Judging from her other work, we knew that we would be getting a stunning final product, but what you can't see in her pictures online is how friendly she is, how comfortable she makes you feel behind the camera (I was particularly nervous our first go around for the engagement shoot), and how well she directs and manages people to create her magic. Now for the product! My wife and I sat down together when Kelsey sent us the final photos and it genuinely took us back to our wedding day. She captured both the emotion and the beauty of it all so well, and we now have these pictures to look back on for the rest of our lives. We feel so lucky to have her as our photographer and friend. Thank you, Kelsey!!

Alli McGrath Photography

  • Serves Sanford, VA

I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Alli - your Delaware-based, multi-published wedding photographer! At the end of the day, your wedding is not about the photos, it’s about the fleeting moments and the emotions that come with them. My approach centers around photographing these candid, emotional moments to produce a timeless recollection of your day. Years of experience has led me to understand the ins-and-outs of weddings, allowing me to provide expertise to guide you through the whole process (and make tons of jokes along the way).

Awarded Best of Zola
I first met Alli from Alli McGrath Photography when she hired me to plan her own wedding — and she was an absolute dream to work with. When I found out she was a photographer too, it felt like such a natural connection, and I’m so glad we’ve had the chance to collaborate since! We’ve worked together on a few occasions now — including a branding session where she followed me to a wedding and captured behind-the-scenes moments, as well as a full wedding day we recently worked together. Each time, Alli brings such an easy-going, calming energy to the day. She's not just focused on the couple (although she serves them beautifully); she also goes above and beyond to support the family, wedding party, and all the vendors involved. She’s incredibly professional — always prepared and adaptable to whatever the day throws at her — but also brings such a fun, uplifting vibe. Her presence is a gift, and her assistant brings that same energy too! From a visual standpoint, I love Alli’s balance of candid and posed shots. Her style is true to color with a creative, artistic twist, and she never forgets to capture the little details and my team working behind the scenes — something I deeply appreciate. I can do nothing but rave about her work. The photos she delivers are stunning, heartfelt, and full of authentic moments. I recommend Alli wholeheartedly — whether it’s for a wedding, branding shoot, or family session. She’s your built-in hype girl who will make you feel incredible in front of the camera, and even better when you see the final gallery. She’s just the best!

Amber, (being 8 years younger than Amy) had no choice but to learn how to design flowers when Amy opened a flower shop in 2000. The shop closed after Amy moved. Amy and Amber still designed flowers for friends and family and then in 2017 they decided to open Noblewood Florals! Noblewood Florals is an event only florist. We work out of our home but we can meet with potential clients anywhere in the state for consults!

Best money we’ve ever spent and my biggest piece of wedding advice is book Lovehaus! This team made us enjoy wedding planning and still have plenty of time to do all the things we love. The amount of decisions, calls, and options in the wedding space was overwhelming to us and we needed someone who could guide us towards our vision via their industry relationships, design talent, and planning logistics. It’s remarkable how much Lovehaus did in the background that created space for my husband and I to visualize what our wedding weekend would look like and make way faster decisions. The team became like family over the 2 years of wedding planning and there were moments throughout the wedding when we needed a breather and would just chat with them as friends. They truly have the couple’s best interest in mind and perfectly balance providing their expertise with what you want for your big day. I fully believe our wedding would not have been what it was without them. They knew exactly how my husband and I wanted our day to flow and served as an extension of us, anticipating what we needed before we even said anything.

Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most crucial decisions for our big day, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. From the moment we met Hannah, her genuine passion for photography and capturing special moments was evident. She not not only understood our vision but enhanced it with her (and AMAZING Micah’s) creativity and expertise. On the day of the wedding, they were not just photographers but integral parts of our celebration. Their energy and enthusiasm were infectious, putting everyone at ease and getting genuine smiles and emotions from us and our guests. They seamlessly blended into the background during intimate moments yet took charge (literally Hannah and Micah showed me what to do for a Pinterest inspo pic I sent her) when needed to ensure every important detail was captured beautifully. They let us shine and feel so beyond comfortable and natural, as we are not people that like the camera outside of the wedding! Their talent truly shone through in the final photos. They captured not only the significant moments but also the small, fleeting details that we might have missed in the whirlwind of the day. Looking through the photos brought back all the emotions and memories, making us feel like we were reliving the day itself. I swear I look at them everyday! We cannot recommend our Hillside Film and Photo highly enough. They are not just talented professionals but also genuinely wonderful people who made our wedding day even more special. If you're looking for someone to capture your wedding day with skill, passion, and a contagious enthusiasm, look no further. They are simply amazing! I swear I get more DMs from people asking who our photographer was so that speaks for itself!!

From her encouraging texts during planning, to her brilliant idea for where to put the arch when we moved the wedding inside due to a hurricane and literally EVERYTHING she in between ... simply amazing. I could go on and on! Look no further, Jennifer & Fete de Jour are THE best!

Creative, modern photographers based out of Philadelphia. Drew and Angela are fun, relaxed and experienced. You can trust us to capture all the fun and emotional moments as well as epic portraits with ease.

Angela and Drew are the BOMB! They are husband and wife, and clearly gaga for each other, which is very very cute. They have tons of experience, so they deliver consistently amazing images. They are extremely professional, and respond quickly. And no two photos look just like any other photos. Their creativity and eye for moments will pay off years down the road when you look back at your wedding photos and smile at how each moment can transport you back to the feeling at that exact time on the day, and then you have all this gorgeous artistic and creative stuff to relish in for decades! Can’t go wrong with picking them. For real!

Hi, I'm Svenja - your Washington, D.C. & East Coast Wedding Photographer! From your proposal to your "I Do's", I tell your story with experience and intention in my sophisticated European style. With a la carte services, I allow you to create the wedding collection of your dreams!

Beyond happy with our decision of having Svenja as our photographer to capture our wedding day! Her attention to detail amazed me with all the special & intimate moments she captured especially the candid ones of our loved ones. Our wedding photos were breathtaking !! We received so many compliments on them. She even went above & beyond anything I’ve ever seen & surprised us with having some of our photos taken during the day displayed on a tablet during our wedding reception as a sneak-peek. Our guest enjoyed viewing them as much as we did! Prior to our wedding day she made sure to check in & was always willing to set up a call to go over the flow of the day of how I envisioned. She created a beautifully organized timeline that made the day less stressful & made sure to help keep me on that schedule to elevate added stress. The surprise packages in the mail before & after our wedding (printed wedding photos & a personable hand written note after) really showed how big of a heart and attention to detail she has! I could go on and on how happy I was with Svenja . I HIGHLY recommend her & will to any future brides ! You get a photographer & coordinator all in one!
