She worked with us to craft a custom photo package that fit our needs and budget. My partner is shy in front of the camera, but Carly made us both feel at ease. She provides just the right amount of direction while making the poses feel natural. We appreciated the excitement and good energy she brought on both the engagement shoot and wedding day. One of the reasons Carly's work stood out to me in the first place was how the colors in her photos were vibrant and true to life. We were extremely happy with how the photos turned out. As a perfectionist that has worked with dozens of photographers in various jobs (music events, real estate and modeling), I know how rare it is to find such consistency. After the wedding we received a digital album and she had a convenient system for us to order high-quality prints. Carly is a talented photographer with an obvious passion for her work - we highly recommend that you get on her schedule!

The positives: I was happy with my makeup and hair-my bridal party was not. Price was great…read more Negatives: 1. It was impossible to get in touch with the wedding coordinator (Dana) -it got to the point where I would call at least every other day or text multiple times to get a response. 2. They were very disorganized-I had to do two separate makeup/hair trials got time wrong for both of them. 3. It took me 7 attempts to schedule a trial for my bridal makeup and I started about a year ahead of time. 4. The worst part was, they (everyone except Steph) had attitudes. Pretty rude. Wedding makeup is expensive and I felt as if I was working around their schedule instead of getting the time booked I was paying for. All in all: do not book, other great work is out there and do you really want negative vibes on your wedding? I was sad I had such a negative experience for my wedding because I had been using them for makeup for years and I will never use their service again.

I booked my wedding hair and makeup trial here and was willing to give them a shot despite some of…read morethe concerning reviews I read on various websites. They're pricing was great and they were very responsive before my visit! After my trial, however, I am super disappointed and upset with my experience. I am a low-maintenance bride (or try my best to be) but would not recommend booking them for wedding hair services. I WOULD recommend them for makeup services. When I arrived, no one greeted me for 5-10 minutes AND no one was wearing masks. They're busy, no big deal, though I was a little taken aback by the lack of masks. When someone did greet me, they confirmed my appointment time and sat me down in a chair to start on my hair. The hair stylist (seemed to be the co-owner of the salon) did not ask my name or introduce herself (I still do not know her name) but did ask what style I wanted and asked to see pictures. After that exchange, it all went downhill. She asked one of the younger girls to come over and curl my hair, which she did in less than 10 minutes. That alone should tell you the lack of care taken, as I have long, past should-length hair and it takes me 20+ minutes to curl my hair neatly at home. The curls were there, but messy, and the longer I looked at them in the mirror the less happy I was with them. I had nothing else to do but stare in the mirror, because the girl curling my hair never acknowledged me and instead carried on a conversation with everyone else in the salon except me. It felt very impersonal and I was kind of bummed. I do not expect to feel like a princess, but even a "so when is your wedding? Are you excited?" kind of question would have made me feel welcomed and supported. After the flash curling session, the main stylist came back over and finished my hair style (a simple cross hatch with a small bump in the back). Yet again, she did not introduce herself or attempt to talk to me at all. Instead, she was actively filling out a loan application for some large piece of equipment (yelling answers over my head to someone at the computer) and carrying on a general conversation with other staff and clients. I continued to stare at the mirror, as there was nothing else to do. The results were okay. To her credit she copied the style I wanted, just not very well (see pictures). I'm not sure if the results were due to lack of experience or lack of care. Again, I'm not a perfectionist, but the entire experience left me feeling like I was a mannequin head and not a person, plus that they clearly didn't care whether they got my business or not. My makeup experience was entirely different. The makeup artist was super sweet, asked me questions, chatted with me, and made me feel much better about my time at the salon. She also wore a mask during my entire makeup application. I would have hired them for makeup services but wanted to go with a full-service vendor, and I refuse to hire them for hair services after my experience. If this is how they treat customers before we sign the contract, I can't imagine how they would treat me afterwards. I ultimately decided I wanted a more caring energy on my wedding day.

We had the most perfect wedding day and we could never them enough for being part of our special day. Brandon, thank you for all of your hard work to execute our special speech and walk down the aisle. Jason, thank you for coming to our rehearsal to nail down the songs and for executing such beautiful work for the solo electric violin at the welcome drink and for your team putting on an incredible performance for the string quartet. We also absolutely loved the Photo booth. Our guests loved having photos throughout the night with the props. It was such a fun addition to the night. We also loved the added touch of the photo booth book keepsake that we will cherish forever. Truly, from the bottom of our hearts thank you all for making our dreams come true.

Last September, we entrusted Summit Event's to capture the magic of our wedding day through…read morephotography and videography. Sadly, the final products were a far cry from what we had hoped for (and paid for), with amateur-looking photos and a poor quality "set it and forget it" video that failed to do justice or capture significant moments on our special day. The unresponsiveness of the photographer and the owner only added to our disappointment, with it taking 3+ months and numerous emails and phone calls before the owner finally took notice and addressed the issue. Although the photographer was eventually let go and we received a partial refund, the damage had already been done. Our wedding day was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the poor quality of the photos taken on that day has left us with memories that are not as cherished as they should be and lots of disapointment. Our biggest regret is hiring Summit Events and trusting them to capture the most important day of our lives.

From the first moment I called David to set up our date and time, I knew he was going to be helpful and make things easy. He was very knowledgeable about the process for Virginia marriages and could be reached through phone, text, or e-mail to answer any questions I had. His prices are also very reasonable, and were much less than many of the officiants I had looked at to conduct our ceremony. David was on time for our wedding, was very polite, and did what he came to do. I couldn't have been happier with the process, and it was one less thing a stressed bride needs to worry about on the big day. Thanks, David!

We were out of towners for our Harpers Ferry wedding and Leanne networked like crazy to help us achieve the wedding of our dreams within our budget. She didn't flinch when we had offbeat ideas and guided us with compassion. There were so many small details that needed to come together for our perfect weekend like renting busses from a local rafting company to get our older and mobility restricted guests up a windy hill to the historic St. Peter's Church. She negotiated a great deal with Town Hall (may it RIP) to have a fantastic welcome party and after brunch with excellent food at a great price. When we experienced friction with dealing with getting clear communication regarding clear pricing with our reception site, Leanne got everyone's feet planted back on the ground in record time. She was loved and respected amongst our vendors like Claire Watson Photography that everyone really rallied to give us a perfect day. She helped us to arrange the most beautiful flowers review with WestVirjeni at a small private so that my sick mom could be a part of the planning process. The day of our wedding, she was nothing short of phenomenal. If anything went wrong, we wouldn't have known about it. We wanted our own private time together before the craziness of the wedding so Leanne personally drove us to the church. Her organization and direct yet respectful communication left no room for error, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. During the most important times in your life, you want to feel loved and supported, which Leanne has an incredible gift of doing seamlessly. We are so thankful that we found Leanne and will be eternally grateful to her for the memories of our special day we now have.

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!
