Jessica and Heather were wonderful to work…read morewith leading up to the wedding, including shooting our engagement photos at our venue that we are very happy with. We chose them because of their composition, lighting, and artistic viewpoint. Their photos aren't the average over-exposed obvious composition work I kept seeing when searching for a photographer. They were really responsive and fun to work with, and they work great together. The day of the wedding they went above and beyond to get the best shots they could, while being calm, upbeat, and professional. It rained on our wedding day and they did their best to quickly adapt. My camera-shy groomsmen all commented about how great the ladies were and really loosened up with their encouragement. They were patient and kind when photographing my bow-tie wearing dog and my not-so-happy niece and nephew. We can't WAIT to see our wedding photos, and I'll be sure to update my review then. I would highly recommend contacting them if you'd like professional, relaxed photographers on your big day that really deliver some creative, artistic shots!

As an aspiring model, David is the perfect collaborator :)…read more He's very creative, open to ideas, and makes me feel extremely comfortable. He also knows his stuff - an artist through and through. We have been working together for a while now, and I have nothing but good things to say: he is always learning, experimenting, and personalizing his work. Whether he is covering an event or shooting a one-on-one creative photoshoot (like with me!), he is always aiming to understand your vision and showcasing what is important to you. I'm thankful for his collaboration and plan to work with him in the future.

We used Love at First Bite Catering for our New Year's Eve wedding, and they were phenomenal…read more Catering for 100 guests at Twisted Oak Farm Brewery is no small task, and they handled it with ease. The food was a huge hit--charcuterie and crab cakes for appetizers, followed by a buffet that included a fresh mixed-greens salad with berries and feta, tender beef with horseradish mousse, chicken piccata with lemon and capers, au gratin potatoes, green beans almondine, and saffron rice. Everything was flavorful, well timed, and beautifully presented. What really stood out was working with Lisa Sheppard and her team. They were friendly, professional, and incredibly calm throughout the entire process. It made such a difference on a busy wedding day to know we were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Love at First Bite Catering for weddings or any large event--they delivered exceptional food and truly seamless service.

She offered advice and recommendations about social media posts (eg. "A good caption for this picture would be..." and "this will be a good picture for you to use during this holiday.") We did not know much about planning the shoot so she really held our hands with respect to what we should wear, how our hair/makeup should be and how we should pose (of course). The thing we liked most about Darlene was how "at ease" she put us during what otherwise could have been very awkward shoots. The poses for professional headshots feel awkward unless a kind, friendly, personable person is walking you through the experience. She opened up our home to her, recommended places for off-site shoot and then came to our place of business with the lighting and equipment she needed to liven up the place. Thank you, Darlene!!

Darlene and her assistant were the perfect match for what I was looking for in a wedding…read morephotographer. I had a small outdoor wedding, and only wanted photos taken at the ceremony. Unlike some photographers, Darlene didn't try to force us into purchasing a massive wedding photo package that would have cost more than the rest of the wedding combined. Even with a small wedding, she went above and beyond to make sure that we had photos that captured the true essence of what the day meant for us. I've never felt more beautiful than I do when I see myself in the pictures that she took.

My wife and I were keen on finding a venue that had a vibrant nature and outdoorsy vibe. We were…read moreimmediately charmed when we first saw East Lynn Farms, and met the team behind its operation. The owners Georgia and Peter were incredibly supportive, and gave sage advice throughout our planning process. In addition, Alyson, who handles the emails for the farm, was always incredibly quick to provide responses to our questions, and was a pleasure to communicate with. We visited the venue a couple times throughout 2019 between January and our wedding this past September. It takes some imagination to picture how the grounds would look like on your wedding day, because it transforms so much with each season. However, we thought it was gorgeous and made for a terrific backdrop each time we visited regardless of the season. The farm is between an hour to an hour and a half outside of D.C. so it is a fantastic option for getting a rustic venue space that is still accessible for our friends living in the city and the families flying in to Reagan or Dulles. There is a lot of flexibility for events at East Lynn Farms, which may be a stressor for couples depending on their appetite for DIY versus a turnkey wedding option. The farm includes some decorations and a list of recommended vendors, but we were not restricted to the list as long as the vendors we chose had the appropriate license and insurance. The farm allows you to provide our own beverages for events, and we were able to save quite a bit by sourcing our drinks from Costco rather than ordering through the caterer. My wife and I were initially worried about how hot might be at the tail end of Summer, and we contemplated renting fans or A/C units for the wedding. Thankfully, Georgia advised us that the surrounding mountains provided the area with a cooler ambient temperature and a reasonable breeze that negated the need for that hefty expense. On our wedding day, the weather was perfect! Even at the peak of the afternoon it never got so hot that it was uncomfortable to wear a suit jacket, and at the end of the night it wasn't so cold that one needed a jacket. There's no limit of the amount of praise and recommendations my wife and I would give to East Lynn! We honestly couldn't have imagined a better place to have our wedding!
