We were so lucky to have John as our DJ for our June 2026 wedding in Richmond. John was on top of it, thoughtful, meticulous, and intentional throughout the entire planning process and all the way through the very last song of the night. We had a few “secret” songs that were kept from the bride and he held them close, ensuring there was no slip until the perfect moment. We also asked for specific moments of the songs to be played, down to a few seconds and John delivered every single time. Finally, we also asked for a wide range of genres throughout the reception- from oldies, to modern day pop, to old school country. Once again, John killed it and we had guests coming up to us all night saying how amazing he was. I don’t think there was ever a single moment where folks weren’t up and dancing! On top of his talent, it was also upwards of 90 degrees and fully outdoors. Thank you Black Tie Entertainment and thank you, especially, to John! Our day was that much more memorable because of you!

Ben truly kept the dance floor rocking the whole night long. We had people on the dance floor the entire time. He instantly understood the vibe we wanted from our meeting before hand and the app they provide was so convenient to add everything we wanted in. He even added in new Taylor Swift songs into the night when the album only came out the day before. And he surprised us with a remix of a song with Taylor Swift and my husbands band. Also the live musician Jason helped make our ceremony and cocktail hour so special. And Kory and team videographed the entire thing and made sure not to miss a beat!

MEGAN WAS AMAZING!!!! We cannot sing the praises of her and her team enough. Her photos are incredible -- we literally cannot stop looking at them, and we are so grateful we selected her for the memories that we will frame on the wall and review for years to come. But even more than her amazing photography was how wonderful she is to work with! From our first Zoom call, she was immediately just so much fun to talk to. Something to think about: Your photographer follows you around your entire wedding day, so you need someone you feel comfortable with! Megan immediately put us at ease. We had a blast with her on the engagement photoshoot (we went to waterfall at sunrise!) and we had a blast planning out all our wedding shots with her. At the wedding itself, her team was so professional and endlessly kind. They never made the wedding feel awkward or had to "stop the action" for a shot. She delivered an AMAZING gallery for us in a timely manner with the most beautiful photos we've ever had taken in our lives. She captured all the special moments and managed all our family dynamics. We would book Megan again 100000 times. Also, as a queer couple, she was so affirming and made us feel so comfortable. We love you Megan 3 Can't wait to book a newborn shoot one day ;)

Fox Meadow Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding and I could not have imagined a more magical night. It offered the perfect indoor/outdoor experience for our guests with beautiful views and stunning sunset picture opportunities. Dixie was very easy to work with, from coordinating the initial venue visit to allowing us to stop by on our own several times before the wedding to take another look, to just overall great communication. The venue itself is already so beautiful and the lighting is amazing but on top of that they have left over decorations available from previous events to borrow (which we did and they were awesome)! The flexibility to choose our own vendors made it a much more affordable experience. On top of that, Dixie also provided a list of local vendors that previous events had used which was also super helpful in finding vendors. I could not recommend this venue enough!!

We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples. When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

We had the absolute best experience working with the Paperboys team for our wedding photography and videography! We knew since our engagement photoshoot session with John that he would be a dream to work with on our big day. He instantly grasped our vibe and leaned into our ideas, which resulted in our stunning engagement photos at the Great Falls location he took us to! His energy made every moment enjoyable, and we felt completely at ease in front of the camera.   On our wedding day, John teamed up with our lead videographer, Logan, and together they were the perfect duo! Their complementary styles added a sense of lighthearted fun and joy to the otherwise chaotic bustle of the day. You could really tell they are professionals at what they do; they effortlessly captured our vision with just a few short words we gave them to describe the mood we wanted to feel when looking back at our wedding photos and videos. When we received our sneak peek photos and teaser video shortly after the wedding, we were truly at a loss for words. Every shot reflected the emotions we experienced that day, and we are so excited to see what else they have in store for us! Thank you, Paperboys, for preserving our special day in such a beautiful and cinematic way. We will cherish these memories forever!!

Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph.

Rita and her team did a great job with the hair and makeup for my wedding in November 2024. She was very responsive during the booking process, everything was very clear and seamless. The trial went well and she made sure that I liked how everything looked. Everything on the day of the wedding looked as expected based on the trial. I hardly ever wear makeup and asked for a more natural look and it turned out perfect! I also have fine hair and was worried about having volume, but Rita was able to make my hair look thicker than it is. Both the hair and makeup lasted all night and still looked good after being done around 12pm. We had 6 people getting services and everything was done on time by Rita and her assistant, she provided a schedule so that I was able to let people know when they could arrive. I would recommend Rita to anyone looking for wedding hair and makeup services, she was a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

I felt absolutely marvelous—stunning, confident, and more beautiful than I could have imagined. The makeup was flawless. She brought the exact vision we discussed to life, using colors that made my eyes pop in the most radiant way. The shadow choices were bright, bold, and so flattering—I honestly didn’t recognize myself in the best possible way when I looked in the mirror. It was like seeing the most glamorous version of me! And my hair? Absolute perfection. She followed my instructions to the letter, but also added her own professional touch to elevate the entire look. It held beautifully through the event and looked exactly how I dreamed it would. She is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and such a calming presence to have around before an important occasion. I am so grateful and cannot wait to book her again for my next event!

  • Florist
  • Serves Waterford, VA

Davidson Designs is a floral design studio rooted in fine-art installation & intentional design, serving DC, Northern Virginia, & Virginia wine country (historic estates, vineyard properties, & premier venues in Loudoun County & Middleburg). Every installation begins with a single question: what should this room feel like? We use your images as a starting point, then listen for what's underneath. Our work starts where your brief ends, designed into your venue's architecture, light, and scale. Every detail is handled quietly and completely. When you walk into the room, all that's left is to take in your vision with the people you love most.

From the first meeting with Mary and the team at Davidson Designs, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication was consistently prompt, detailed, and attentive to our vision. On the day of the wedding, the florals they created were truly extravagant and romantic, bringing our dream ceremony and reception to life with exact precision. Mary and her team went above and beyond, crafting a stunning pergola that was the focal point of our ceremony, and creating bouquets that exceeded our expectations. We've received so many compliments from our guests on how the flowers helped make each space feel even more magical. Davidson Designs truly delivered the florals of our dreams, and we couldn't be happier with their exceptional service and artistry.

We presented Sandra and her team with quite the challenge: 2 brides, 16 or so bridesmaids, 3 moms, and a flower girl and they got it DONE. The whole team was so great to work with and we couldn't have been more happy with how our wedding day hair and makeup came out. Timely, professional, kind, and reasonably priced. We couldn't recommend them more!

Morgan Kay Photo was the right choice for our wedding day. From our first conversation, she was open and honest about everything, which made the planning process so easy. Beyond just taking photos, Morgan was there for me in ways I didn't expect—holding my phone, helping me change shoes, and being my go-to girl when I needed support. Her work is insane. The photos came back quick, with light and gorgeous quality that honestly feels like perfection. I will 100% book her again without hesitation.
