New wife here! My husband and I used Timeless for Photography and Videography for our wedding 10/14/2023 and I highly recommend them! The prices are budget friendly and the work is phenomenal! The weather on our wedding day was far from what we wanted and I knew it was a possibility but I told our photographer and videographer that I would LOVE to have just a couple outside photos if we would make it work, They made it more than work. We got so many outside photos since our ceremony was moved under our reception tent and even those photos turned out so good! I couldn't be happier!

I absolutely loved the blush traditional bouquet for me and my bridesmaids and the blush romantic garden flower clouds.

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

Specializing in weddings (ceremony, cocktails & receptions) and private event entertainment you can be assured your working with one of the absolute best. If you need a DJ who can play ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you want - then Kelton is the one for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Going into my wedding planning process, I knew that our crowd would skew older and probably not be too into dancing. This was a bummer for me as I love music and dancing! We also were blending two cultures (Hispanic and Russian) as well as an eclectic taste in music, so I was concerned that a DJ wouldn't be able to smoothly transition between all these "vibes". When I met with Kelton to discuss our wedding and these situations, he was so positive and reassuring that it made me feel a lot better. We stayed in touch over the months between the initial booking and the wedding, and he was always SO helpful and detail-oriented that it even helped other parts of the wedding schedule! On the big day, he arrived right on time and ready to go. He worked flawlessly with my venue and the officiant to make sure all the cues, announcements, etc were correct and timely. The ceremony went off without a hitch, but the reception was even better! Kelton managed to get EVERYONE - even our 65+ year old crowd - on their feet!! He had a huge variety of music, so there was really something for everyone. It was everything I dreamed of, made possible by Kelton's DJ skills and experience. Can't recommend him enough for your event!

Making personal connection with you is important to me. I believe in serving couples from every background and the more I learn about you the better I can serve you as your wedding photographer. I currently reside in DC but have also living in LA, The Bay Area, and Morocco.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Stefan ten stars, I would. Working with him was an incredible experience from start to finish. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and for the former he traveled to New York so we could do the shoot at a location that has a great deal of meaning to us. My husband and I are not people who are usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Stefan goes above and beyond to make sure he is prepared and that you are prepared to have the best shoot possible. He has detailed guides for both engagement and wedding shoots, which were incredibly helpful. He also meets with you to discuss your goals for the shoot, get to know who you are as a couple, and understand the vibe you are going for. Our engagement shoot was on a cold and windy day in a location unfamiliar to him and he did research, arrived early, and knocked it out of the park. For our wedding day, the timeline went exactly to plan and any stress or nerves I was feeling completely melted away because we already knew Stefan was on top of it, knew what we wanted from the day, and that we had a rapport going between us. On our wedding day, our friends and family absolutely gushed about Stefan and how great he is. I can't tell you how many times someone came up to me and said, "Who is your photographer? He is AWESOME." Stefan's style is authentic and he is incredibly skilled. The photos are breathtaking without seeming unnatural or overworked. He is great at capturing your vibe as a couple and making sure that comes through in the photos. He is so easy to get along with and can make even the least photogenic among us (pointing at myself here) comfortable in front of the camera. He is a great photographer and an even more delightful human being and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.

The fearless Elizabeth Carberry Creative team brings over 15 years of collective experience. After having studied Art History at Dickinson College, Elizabeth went on to start her first company, an art and artist consulting firm in 2011. Pivoting her role as brand manager, creative director and marketing guru for DC area artists, Elizabeth focused on small businesses and start ups, and began applying her creative eye to photo styling and content creation. It was through the passion of styling and creating small moments of beauty that she found her love for love and desire to plan the weddings of the amazing couples that she works with.

Awarded Best of Zola
Elizabeth Carberry and her team are truly second to none in the wedding planning space. Back in 2019, I had met with numerous planners in DC and the stars aligned on cost, vision, and personality with Elizabeth immediately. Even before we signed on the dotted line, Elizabeth was hard at work taking the things we mentioned in our first call and setting up appointments with vendors. As it turned out, this would be an excellent indication of how thoughtful, efficient, and hardworking she and her team would be in working with us to plan our dream wedding(s) over the next few years. When the pandemic hit, we had already booked our date and many vendors but it was clear we probably weren’t going to move forward with our original date or vision, Elizabeth was so on top of rescheduling things and renegotiating on our contracts, we felt totally supported the entire time. She really went above and beyond. We started planning another version of our wedding on a rescheduled date and once again, another wave of the pandemic hit and we were out of luck again. While I’m sure Elizabeth and her team were as exhausted and frustrated as we were, they kept everything professional while also being incredibly empathetic to the situation. We canceled our second attempt at a wedding and went back to the drawing board. Third times the charm, it seems! My husband and I decided to scrap our plans for a big 200 person wedding bash in DC and have an intimate ceremony of 45 people at my parents cabin in PA. We proposed this idea to Elizabeth, knowing it was a huge pivot and trek for her, but without really any hesitation we shifted gears and started planning our new dream wedding in the mountains of PA. Within a matter of days, our contracts had been once again renegotiated with vendors who wanted to make the trip to another state and new vendors were found (a seemingly impossible task in rural PA). The day went off without a hitch and my husband and I look back on the whole process and wedding day so fondly, even with the nightmare of the pandemic. The day of, Elizabeth and her team were so incredible and efficient but stayed behind the scenes, making sure I knew they were there but not overwhelming us. The ceremony and reception were so beautiful and fun- she made our vision a reality. We woke up the next morning and everything was disassembled/organized and ready for the vendors to pick up. Of note, Elizabeth is also incredibly professional and will advocate for you with difficult vendors and make sure you’re not getting taken advantage of- you can tell she’s seasoned pro! Elizabeth and her team are the reason why, even after two foiled attempts, we have nothing but amazing memories from the wedding planning and actual day of! I recommend Elizabeth Carberry to anyone getting married- she and her team are the best of the best. Thank you for our perfect day, EC!

We found "Mark Joven Photography" through my fiancé who worked with him before during group trips with his friends. I really liked the photos he took we booked him for our engagement photos and he did NOT disappoint at ALL! He brought two assists with him and spent 2 days taking photos for us at multiple locations of our choosing! Mark was very professional and made each day go by seamlessly! We hung out like old friends and made a day of Magic Kingdom after taking our photos at our favorite places in the park! We got all our shots back within a week of taking them and they were all so beautiful I cried! They are some of the best pictures I’ve ever had! We decided to hire him for our wedding as a videographer and backup photographer should we need him! Also his prices are SUPER reasonable and affordable! If you’re looking to book him I wouldn’t hesitate! I’m pretty sure we’re gonna use him for future milestones! Mark is definitely a 10/10 and as a former photographer myself I am VERY picky when it comes to my photography so I can say I don’t say 10/10 unless i truly mean it!!

It's never comfortable being in front of a camera but Jennifer makes it feel so natural, just like you're hanging out with your loved ones (which you are!). We already got our sneak peak of the album and we are SO madly in love with all of the pictures and impressed by the speed in which Jennifer was able to get them to us. If you want gorgeous photos from the most personable and efficient couple there is then PLEASE go with Jennifer Nolan Photography. Thank you both for everything!!

With an eye for detail and a knack for storytelling, I specialize in delivering a blend of documentary style images and classic portraits that reflect your unique love story.

Where do I even begin with this review?! Jennifer has been an absolute gift to work with throughout our wedding planning process, and now that we just go our sneak peeks back, we know we made the right choice with her! We did not use Jennifer for our engagement pictures, so I knew I was taking a risk when hiring her as our wedding day photographer. I was confident with what I saw on social media and our email correspondence ensured me that she would make a great fit for us. She was communicative along the entire way and was intentional when asking for our shot list. On the day of, it was very clear that she was very purposeful in capturing all of my preferred shots and made a dedicated effort to be present for each moment of the day. Jennifer was very professional and both her and her second shooter, Alex, found fun and creative ways to capture unique imagery from our ceremony and reception. She was attentive to our needs as a couple, made lots of great photo recommendations, and did not push us to do any pictures/poses we weren't into. Jennifer knew we wanted to be a part of cocktail hour and was happy to accommodate all of our formal pictures before the ceremony. She was discreet during the ceremony and captured lots of wonderful group shots at the reception. A week before the event she was happy to add on a few additional hours from our original contract. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

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!

I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

William with Fourth photography was amazing and was able to come through last minute for us. He delivered quickly and with quality.

Kelton was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He stuck with us even when we had to postpone our wedding for two years due to the pandemic, so we really appreciated his commitment to working with us. Kelton has a great system for figuring out your taste, priorities, and run of show. He set up very quickly at our venue, which was key given we were running on a tight schedule, and he managed to produce nice sound in a very cavernous space (no idea how!). He kept us running on time and made all transitions seamless. His music perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, starting with a relaxed cocktail hour and dinner, and gradually increasing the tempo into a full-scale dance party as the night went on. And our friends and family had an absolute blast! He had everyone from 20 somethings to family in their 60s and 70s dancing until the very end! We got so many positive messages the next day, including one person who described our DJ as being "on fleek."

Mess Hall is a modern wedding venue located in the heart of Washington, D.C. The only private event space in DC that looks into an open industrial kitchen, Mess Hall provides an urban and inviting atmosphere that your guests won’t soon forget. The polished concrete floors, exposed industrial ceilings and mid-century modern décor all make this venue the unique and versatile space you’ve been searching for. Having hosted events for countless local clients, such as DC Brau, The Smithsonian Institution, The Embassy of Japan and more, Mess Hall has the experience and reputation needed to host the celebration of a lifetime. For a true urban wedding experience in the middle of one of America’s most well-known cities, look no further than Mess Hall!

My husband and I had a tiny COVID wedding and chose Mess Hall as our venue for a post-wedding party to celebrate with all of our friends a year later. Our experience working with the team at Mess Hall was completely wonderful from start to finish! When we first saw Mess Hall and met with Al, we knew we’d found the right place for our party. It was such a warm first meeting, just checking out the venue over a couple of beers, and we could totally picture ourselves and our friends in the cool, laid-back space. We knew right away that we could trust Al to help us pull off our vision for the party. A few months later, Mess Hall added their new event coordinator Jordan, who is absolutely wonderful. Great vibes from the entire team—incredibly supportive, willing to do anything to make our party perfect, and always at the ready with helpful suggestions when we needed them. The day of the party, we felt so loved and supported by everyone at Mess Hall while we collaborated on setting things up (Al personally helped us hang our neon sign and disco ball) and put the finishing touches on our vision. Jordan and Al both made sure everything went smoothly all night—and we have Jordan to personally thank for documenting the party on our polaroid camera! It was a perfect night and we can’t recommend Mess Hall highly enough!

Marquita is a true gem! She is kind, punctual and a master of her craft. I distinctly remember her communication with me on wedding day was impecible, there was never a time that I did not know what to expect or the timeline that it would take her to complete the brides makeup. If you are looking for a natural glam look that is not overpowering and photographs beautifully LOOK NO FUTHER! I highly recommend her servies!

I am a modern-day storyteller, wielding my camera as my pen to capture the tales that unfold before me. With a passion for freezing time in the most exquisite way possible, my photographic journey has been a remarkable one. Through the lens, I unearth the extraordinary within the ordinary, revealing the beauty that often hides in plain sight. From the gentle play of light on a dew-kissed leaf to the raw emotions in a candid portrait, I believe that photography is the art of preserving fleeting moments and emotions.

Natasha Lamalle Photography 

5.0

Washington, DC
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

The best way to tell honest stories is through keen observation. How do I know? Because I spent 15 years as a journalist before becoming a wedding photographer. By paying attention to the ways you interact with your loved ones, I capture the in-between moments that will, one day, be significant. And using a trained eye and subtle approach, I do so unobtrusively.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I were searching for a photographer who could capture our wedding as it really was, from the intimate moments to the wild dance floor, and Natasha's documentary-style fit our needs exactly! She listened carefully to what we wanted - minimal posed pictures, non-traditional "first look", lots of candids, etc - and she more than delivered. We had 130 guest count and Natasha covered basically every inch of our wedding day, no need or want for a second shooter. She was everywhere and so stealthy that we didn't realize she was so close to us the whole night until we got our pictures back. Our ceremony was outside and dinner/dancing were inside, and regardless of the lighting, the pictures turned out perfectly, she was even able to capture non-blurry pictures of guests jamming on a packed dance floor! She was a pleasure to work with, the instructions of her process were easy to follow from start to finish, and had a lot of examples to look through which gave us a good idea of what we were getting. We especially appreciated that she sent us a few pictures the morning after our wedding as a sneak peek, very nice touch. She's genuinely kind and calm which helped us remain present during our wedding day. Everyone who has seen our photos are amazed by the quality and we are too. We're thrilled we picked Natasha and highly recommend her!
