We are proud and happy to help curate every wedding to our couple's romantic specifications. We include coordination, and no 'must use' vendors list so you can make your wedding personal and relaxing. We only offer totally private rentals, so you can feel like your guests are visiting you in your own home. Our pet-friendly property even lets you bring your pups. Rixey offers the most spectacular views... from the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains on one side, to the bottom of Rixey Lake on the other. Our rooftop and patio spaces make for a magical setting both at sunset and at night, and the Ballroom, complete with climate control and ADA-accessible bathrooms, means that inclement weather won't have a negative effect on your special day. The history of the house lends an air of vintage elegance, but what most of our couples love is the comfy atmosphere provided by big sofas, real fires, and the ability to curl up at the end of the night in the library with your favorite people.

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Best for events with big guest lists
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Rixey Manor! Choosing to have our wedding there was one of the best decisions we made. It was truly an unforgettable venue that had everything we could have dreamed of and more! From the moment we booked, Isadora and Grace were amazing—accommodating, knowledgeable, extremely responsive, and helpful answering any questions we had and offering much needed guidance. There’s no need for a separate wedding planner because they are an exceptional team! They provided excellent vendor recommendations, seamlessly coordinated every detail, and made the entire planning process feel manageable and smooth. They really thought of everything to make our wedding day unique and special! We had the entire manor for the weekend, from Friday through Sunday, which included beautiful bedrooms where some of our family stayed and it felt so special that we could all stay together and celebrate. And the guest house where the groomsmen stayed and got ready was very helpful and so much fun! This made the experience feel like a full, immersive celebration. We held both our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at the manor, which made everything convenient for our guests and was the perfect way to start our wedding weekend. Our ceremony was originally going to be outdoors in front of the manor, but rain forced us to move it to our tented reception area. Isadora and Grace handled this change in plans with such ease, ensuring that our wedding was still beautiful, stress-free, and magical—rain or shine. They quickly transitioned everything so our reception could also take place on the scenic patio, where elegant decorations and stunning views created theperfect atmosphere. Rixey Manor is much more than just a beautiful venue. The manor itself is a treasure, with its ballroom, cozy library, fireplaces, and a charming rooftop veranda where guests can hang out and enjoy incredible views. It felt like a home away from home, but with all the elegance of a high-end venue. The staff, including the friendly and attentive bartending team, made us and our guests feel so special. I got ready at the manor with my bridal party—15 bridesmaids, plus family members—and it was such a great experience! The team thought of everything and provided everything we needed to be prepared for the day. They were also great with children, helping our two flower girls feel welcome and comfortable. If you are considering Rixey Manor for your wedding, absolutely book it! You will be taken care of every step of the way. You’ll be surrounded by stunning scenery and cared for by a team who genuinely wants your day to be perfect. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, thanks to Isadora, Grace and Rixey Manor! We love you guys! **Photo credit to our wonderful photographer Gabrielle Rose Photography!**

TLDR: Easy communication, handles everything, calming, amazing experience. Madi helped us plan and coordinated our wedding in June at the Eaton DC. We cannot recommend her enough!! During the planning process, she was the perfect balance of being the cheerleader for our ideas, and weighing in with her own when we needed another perspective. We felt pretty unprepared and clueless about planning a wedding, and Madi was so accepting of that and really validated us along the way. She handed all of the communication and emails, which was a huge task and a relief to hand off. On the actual wedding day, Madi and her team made everything feel comfortable and easy. Madi has such a calm demeanor that we completely trusted that no matter what happened, she was going to take care of it and it wouldn’t impact us. And it didn’t! We weren’t aware of any logistics going on around us, and Madi and her team made sure it was the most special for us. Our friends and family commented throughout the night and afterwards on how great Madi and her team were. I am SO glad and grateful we had Madi for our wedding, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone looking for planning or coordination to go with Tate Co.

Awarded Best of Zola
I mean WOW. We have gotten more compliments on our wedding photos than any other vendor or part of our wedding. We explained our vision to her (wildflower-themed, fun, colorful, candid vibes) and she blew away our expectations. From the very beginning, Victoria was a dream to work with. She was kind, hilarious, willing to work with our budget, and a very good communicator. I explained that my husband and I didn't really like to take photos so we would likely get burnt out quickly, and she was incredible at working in creative ways to still get beautiful photos but maximize our time actually being present and enjoying the time with our guests. She even found a field of flowers for us to take photos in without us even asking...it was something out of a dream!! Also, we had a very active first dance with lots of flips and tricks and the photos are PERFECT. She is hands down the best photographer I've ever seen for candids, action shots, and all the silly photos we could take. Her website and gallery (post-wedding) is very easy to access. Overall, we had an absolute BLAST with Victoria, and seriously made the best decision of our wedding planning process by booking her as our photographer. Like everyone tells you, do not skimp on your budget in this area. Plus, she is reasonably priced for the insane level of artistry she brings with her camera. Truly cannot recommend her enough!!!

Hi there! I’m Nathan Sottung (pronounced “saw-tongue”—ask me about its Norse mythological roots!). Since 2020, I’ve been blending my technical expertise with a calming presence to help couples feel relaxed, authentic, and truly themselves on their wedding day. With nearly 100 weddings captured, I’ve had the joy of preserving unique love stories through genuine, heartfelt moments. Let’s make your day unforgettable!

Awarded Best of Zola
Before the wedding, Nathan was attentive and details-oriented as he helped us plan and figure out what photos were the most important to us. He met with us over Zoom and in-person at the venue to walk through the day and provided countless suggestions and tips to make sure the photography and ceremony went smoothly. During the wedding, Nathan took both phenomenal posed photos and brilliant candids. He was a constant presence with a cameras holstered on each hip, like a cowboy with lenses instead of six-shooters. He worked quickly to get us a selection of social-media ready the same day, perfect to share with family across the world who couldn't make it. After the wedding, Nathan's editing and communication skills are top-notch. He even drove out (over an hour!) to take some photos of a sapphire ring of my new wife's - it's a family heirloom she wore during the wedding that she wanted additional photos of. When we tried to pay for these additional photos, he waved us off. Nathan truly went above and beyond the call of duty. In terms of quality, the photos he took are top-notch. We have fantastic posed photos, often with little touches he suggested in the moment to ensure we looked relaxed, smiling, and at our best. His candids are some of my favorite photos in the world and perfectly capture what was a perfect day. Nathan's humor, attention to detail, and devotion to getting every shot right make hiring him one of the best wedding decisions we made. I would heartily recommend hiring Nathan and plan on calling on him if we have photography needs in the future.

Rob Jinks Photography

  • Serves The Plains, VA

For me, photography all started with the outdoors. As someone who loves to bike, hike, kayak, and backpack, photos were a way to capture the vistas and memories I was creating. Photography snowballed into sports, journalism, concerts, products, events, portraits, finally landing on weddings. Weddings became what I loved most due to their fast pace nature, creative freedom, and the opportunity to document real, life-long memories. Every couple and every family has a unique, incredible story. It’s a blessing to be able to document these life-changing events that people can look back on forever.

When my husband and I began looking for photographers, we looked at many different photographers portfolios and Rob’s stuck out the most. The way he was able to capture couples weddings from start to finish in such a way that told the story was truly amazing. When we spoke with Rob and found out his pricing, my husband and I were a bit hesitant to spend so much on a wedding photographer, but I can say without a doubt that out of every vendor we booked for our wedding, Rob is the one who was worth every single penny. He truly was able to capture our wedding day in a way that brought us tears of joy. If we had to do our entire wedding over again he’d be the first on our list to book! From talking before the booking process to the photo reveal, it was such a smooth process and he made the whole thing feel magical. If you can, book Rob because he will absolutely do what you want and more!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

From the moment we reached out to Birchfields, their communication was quick, thorough, and sincere. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera resulted in exceptional photographs that captured every special moment of our wedding day. Birchfields truly went above and beyond, taking unique angles and perspectives that allowed us to relive the entire day through their stunning imagery. When it’s hard to figure out which photo you want to print out and hang on the wall, you know you picked the right photographer! We could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend Steve to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

People inspire me, YOU inspire me. I’d love to capture your story. I've grown to know this about myself when it comes to photography: my favorite style is a blend of documentary & journalism... the kind that takes you back and makes you feel a part of the moment when photo was actually captured. The type that TELLS A STORY, YOUR story. The kind that captures personality, messiness, and REAL expression. I'm obsessed with being able to do all of this through a lens and a camera. Beauty is in everyone, in everything, and everywhere.

I absolutely loved my experience with Brandon. He was friendly, confident and an overall dream photographer! My now husband and I were blown away by our photos. Brandon was patient and understand of our circumstances. Both of my parents resided at the church where we wed and Brandon was more than willing to take photos out there at the gravestones. I wouldn't wanted to have anyone else on my special day. His amazing bright personality calmed our nerves. Thank you for being such a blessing!

I'm a Northern Virginia based wedding photographer with a love for capturing your day in a way that feels most authentic to YOU. My experience with having my own COVID wedding has led me to appreciate all kinds of weddings, big and small. ◡̈ Virginia born and raised, I met my husband in middle school and we chose to be by each others' sides forever back in 2020! We are building a family and a life we love in Fredericksburg, VA, but are always ready to go. He's my right hand man and will probably tag along every so often!

From the moment we met Hope, we knew she was the perfect photographer to capture our wedding day. Her communication style was incredibly responsive, upbeat, and comforting, which was so valuable during the stressful wedding planning process. Hope took the time to thoroughly understand our preferences and vision, then brought them to life with her high-quality, artistic photography. On the day of the wedding, Hope's calm presence was a welcome respite from the chaos, and she expertly captured all the special moments that made our celebration so unique and meaningful. We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend Hope Hoggard Photo to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience.

Being in the wedding film industry over sixteen years, I'm eager to help couples bring their dreams to life. I have no hesitation traveling for couples who know I'm the perfect fit for their wedding. My work resonates with who it's made for- and I keep that audience in mind.

Steven was incredible from initial contact to follow-up after the event. He works with you to choose a package that fits your videography needs and budget. He is down-to-earth and makes you feel like he and his team are just old friends hanging out with you throughout the day. His videography style and music choices drew us to him in the first place, and he did not disappoint. He captured every magical detail, and we're so thankful to have chosen Birchfields.

I have been doing photography/weddings for the last 10 years or so. I am a mama of 2 and a wife myself. I may be a professional, but I am just like You, a person, and I strive to make you feel as comfortable as possible working with me!

Katie at K.S. Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, she was friendly, approachable, and made the entire process easy and enjoyable. On the day of our wedding, Katie was so kind, positive, and incredibly attentive, capturing all the intimate moments that made our special day truly magical. She found the perfect spot for her to fake our photos and was so patient and took her time to listen to who we wanted in the photographs and was there every step of the way to make sure we had a beautiful selection/ album. She went above and beyond what I expected, she even guided me and my now husband in to various intimate poses that we felt truly capture our love and happiness. The quality of her work is incredible - the photos are beautifully detailed and skillful, thank you for allowing us to cherish and share these memories with our loved ones. We are so grateful to have found K.S. Photography and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. Thank you to Katie for being a part of our special day and for being so wonderful throughout the process, it definitely alleviated so much worry and stress that comes with wedding preparations!
