Alina was 10/10! From her personality, communication, to the actual makeup, she was more than I could have asked for. She felt like my best friend from the first day we met! I don’t wear heavy makeup often nor do I have Botox so I was worried about creasing from smiling so much. When I tell you I looked flawless with her makeup application I can’t recommend her enough. After our trial run, I had absolutely zero concern on wedding day knowing she would make my vision come to life. She’s the best and I would recommend her to all brides!

We worked with Francisco as our day-of wedding coordinator at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment we started working with him, he was incredibly thorough, organized, and clearly genuinely invested in making our wedding day as smooth and joyful as possible. In the months leading up to the wedding, Francisco helped walk us through the big checklist items for planning a wedding, ensuring we didn’t overlook a single detail while always being respectful of our choices and vision. His communication over email was always timely and clear, and our planning phone calls were always productive, efficient, and fun! One of the most valuable things he did was create a comprehensive vendor packet that centralized all final details—this was a game-changer! We didn’t have to worry about keeping track of updates or managing version control, as he seamlessly handled all communication and coordination with our vendors. His understanding of the venue layout, the timing with our photographer, and the logistics of transporting wedding items made the final decisions stress-free. We trusted him completely, and every detail turned out exactly as we’d hoped—or better! When it came time for the wedding weekend itself, Francisco expertly ran our rehearsal, navigating family dynamics with calm professionalism and making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. On the wedding day, Francisco was a calm and reassuring presence, quietly in charge and gracefully keeping everything on track. As someone who’s very Type A and typically likes to stay on top of everything, I was amazed by how much I was able to relax and simply enjoy the day because I knew Francisco would be handling it all. Thanks to him, we could focus on celebrating with our loved ones, knowing everything was in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who will bring warmth, expertise, and a true sense of calm to your wedding day, Francisco is your person. He made our wedding a dream come true, and we wouldn’t change a single thing. (Photos courtesy of Paperbird Photography!)

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Nina did a fabulous job as the photographer for my and my husband’s wedding! From the beginning, she was very communicative and did a great job giving us advice on how to get the best possible photos. We wanted more candid shots of our wedding, and Nina delivered photos that were beautiful, natural, and artfully done. I actually received a remark from a guest, a former TV personality, that Nina’s understanding of how to get the best lighting was impeccable! In addition to being a warm and delightful person to work with, Nina has given us photos of our wedding we will be able to treasure for a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and hire her!

We loved the fact that we could have an indoor ceremony that felt like it was outside and the team seamlessly flipped the space for the reception. Tori, our coordinator, was so easy to work with, answering all of our questions and worked tirelessly to get the layout for our reception just perfect! She also worked flawlessly with our wedding coordinator, which took so much stress off of us leading into our wedding day.

Welcome to Just a Present Visual Studio, where every moment is crafted into a lasting memory. I'm based in the DMV area, specializing in capturing life's most cherished moments through a unique lens. Follow my journey and let’s create something beautiful together.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was incredibly fortunate to have Xiao as the photographer for our wedding registration photos at the NGA. She is not only an exceptionally talented photographer but also an absolute pleasure to work with. I had participated in several professional photoshoots before, I can honestly say that it is rare to meet a photographer who takes the time to learn about our story, understand what we value, and discover our personal style in order to create a truly meaningful and tailored experience. Her photographs are truly works of art. The way she captures the interplay of light, architecture, portraiture, and emotion is extraordinary. Every photo feels thoughtfully composed, balancing elegance, intimacy, and the beauty of the surroundings. More importantly, these photos truly embrace our personalities and the love between us. Xiao is also remarkably patient, kind, and encouraging. Since my husband and I were a bit stiff and unsure of how to interact in front of the camera in the beginning (perhaps because we had just gotten married!), she guided us effortlessly throughout the session. Her direction felt almost cinematic—like a film director bringing a scene to life. Through her excellent communication skills and warm personality, she made every smile and moment of laughter feel natural and authentic. Not only did the photographs turn out beautifully, but she also helped create an unforgettable and enjoyable memory for us on one of the most important days of our lives. When we unexpectedly learned that the NGA west wing would be closed to the public due to a private event during our scheduled session, Xiao quickly coordinated with us and adapted our plans, ensuring that everything still ran smoothly despite the unexpected circumstances. We are so grateful for all of Xiao’s hard work, creativity, and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone still searching for THE photographer in the DMV area. If you’re looking for someone who can capture not only beautiful image but also genuine emotions and meaningful moments, Xiao is the one!! Recommend 1000%!

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Neal was an amazing choice for our recent wedding at the Rust Manor House in Leesburg, VA. From the beginning of the wedding process, DJ Neal was friendly, communicative, and thoughtful. He took into consideration some of our favorite artists and curated a wonderful playlist for our wedding day (i.e., ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception). We had quite a unique request being “early 2000s nostalgia” for the reception and he delivered! During couples portraits before the ceremony, I remember telling people how much I enjoyed the music he was playing. Additionally, during our reception in the outdoor tent, everyone was out of their seat and on the dance floor. As someone who considers themselves a homebody, he really brought me and my (now) husband out of our shells and created such a fun energy. The transitions between songs were so smooth and well executed. Additionally, he was a wonderful and well-spoken MC for our event. We really appreciated him for being part of our big day! Thank you so much, DJ Neal, I can’t wait to continue telling all of my friends and family members how amazing you were.

He was very clear and efficient with communication. He let us ask for what we wanted while also guiding us toward other fun creative ideas. On the day of our wedding, he and Paul were amazing to work with. Great vibes, controlled time well and captured the true essence of our wedding. Finally, the pictures were STUNNING. My wife and I haven't stopped looking at them. I would 100% recommend Cesario to anyone looking to capture their most treasured memories and hope that we get to work with him again in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a better videographer for our wedding! From start to finish, Andi was professional, dedicated, and incredibly thoughtful, ensuring that our special day was captured beautifully. Right after we signed the contract, she sent us a detailed questionnaire to get to know us as a couple—our story, our style, and the specific moments we wanted to highlight. This level of preparation reassured us that she truly cared about making the video personal and meaningful. About a month before the wedding, she proactively reached out to request the venue’s floor plan, demonstrating her commitment to planning ahead and making sure every shot was perfectly thought out. On the wedding day, Andi arrived an hour early to get familiar with the space and even took some breathtaking outdoor shots before the festivities began. Her presence was so natural and unobtrusive, allowing us to fully enjoy the day while she captured everything seamlessly. Throughout the event, she worked tirelessly to document not just the big moments but also the little details and emotions that made our wedding unique. One of the things that makes Andi truly stand out is her background as a former reporter and documentary filmmaker. Her storytelling skills are evident in every frame—she has a keen eye for capturing genuine emotions and weaving them together into a narrative that feels raw, real, and deeply personal. She didn’t just record our wedding; she told our story in the most beautiful and authentic way. When we received our wedding video, we were absolutely blown away. It was beyond anything we could have imagined—every moment was beautifully filmed and edited, creating a cinematic and heartfelt masterpiece that we will cherish forever. What truly stood out was Andi’s creative touch—she included interesting and unexpected moments that showcased her artistic eye and deep understanding of human connection. Most importantly, the video felt authentically us—it captured the emotions, the joy, and the essence of our relationship perfectly. We are beyond grateful for Andi’s work, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and passionate wedding videographer. If you want someone who truly cares about your story and will go above and beyond to create a stunning wedding film, Andi is the one to choose!

Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

I would absolutely recommend grace and oury memories. She was so responsive and organized with making sure we got all the perfect shots. She also was extremely patient when it came to our kids and knew how important they were to be in some shots as well. She kept everything running smoothly and I appreciate that so much. We are so excited to see our photos and have no doubt that they will be so beautiful. Thank you cso much for helping to make our day so wonderful!!

We loved working with Cheryl in selecting our cake and dessert bar for our wedding. She was responsive, helpful, and her desserts were the most delicious we tried in the DMV!

They were very professional, prompt, easy going, fun to work with, and they worked very well together! They truly enjoy what they do!

Milton Ridge was an incredible place to get married! The beauty of the venue and the inclusive wedding options (i.e. catering, DJ, etc.) made this the absolute perfect place to say, "I do!" The getting ready suites were superb & made the day of preparation before the ceremony seamless. The chapel was so beautiful and such a great little spot off the side of 355. Our guests still comment on the simplicity of how we decorated the chapel, and how beautiful the white walls and natural light streaming in were during the ceremony. I was not sure how we'd get group photos on the property... and our photographers were able to use the beautiful stone and green areas within the venue to capture the most beautiful photos of the bride, groom and the wedding party! Guests are still RAVING about how convenient it was to walk up a few stairs to the cocktail hour AND into the reception. They marveled at the ease... park your car, attend the ceremony and then stay and party all night long until it's time to leave! The reception hall was beautiful; the buffet food was to die for; and Meghan and Brandi ensured that EVERY detail of our wedding day was accounted for, seamless and flowing without any hitch! I cannot recommend Milton Ridge enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and BEST day of our lives! We owe it to this team, this venue and their support with planning our wedding every step of the way!

Awarded Best of Zola
Simply the best experience — and the best photos! Natalie struck the perfect balance between warm and kind (our photoshoot genuinely felt like hanging out with a friend) and incredibly professional. She was fully committed to getting the perfect shot —walking backwards, politely holding up crowds, doing whatever it took. What made it feel special was how naturally she guided us- she knew exactly when to let the moments unfold organically and when to step in with gentle direction to capture our best angles and moments. We absolutely gasped when we saw the photos — especially the film shots. (Do it. They are 100% worth it.) I had mentioned wanting a few editorial-style images, and she completely delivered: artsy, emotive, and somehow made us feel like we belonged in Vogue. She's also a top-tier professional- communicative, organized, thoughtful and prompt. She went above and beyond, remembering the names of loved ones during the wedding, even literally giving me the shoes off her feet at the end of the night when mine were giving me blisters. Total gem of a human and talented professional!
