For 6 months leading up to the wedding, we constantly needed help planning and scheduling. We did it ourselves, so we were lost a lot. Enter Ashley Inman. Patient, kind, caring, joyful and super knowledgeable. She took the time to help us on multiple occasions with scheduling, tips, planning, and a whole bunch of random things. She recommended the pizza vendor - River City Wood Fire - which was the greatest food of our lives. Had it thanks to Ashley. She directed the whole family for photos which in our case was NOT easy. Our day of coordinator was suddenly injured and taken to the ER. We had no one to organize and arrange the entrance. Enter Ashley Inman. we had multiple speeches that flew by and neither of us remember. Enter Ashley Inman and her videographer team. 3 other photographers we interviewed before her said they'd charge extra for Black and White photos and also choose them instead of letting us choose. That was a big deal to me. Enter Ashley Inman. Not only did we get thousands of amazing photos, but got them all in black and white too. Bottom line. We put a lot of effort into our wedding and would have made it good, but we couldnt have made it great by ourselves. Enter Ashley Freakin Inman. Over the top, phenomenal, professional, and someone well be grateful to forever. The Inman Team is hands down the best wedding photographer you could ever want. HIRE them NOW, ask questions later.

I booked with The Inmans after seeing a friend's wedding photos. Once I saw those, my decision was…read moremade. I did not feel a need to shop around any further. Our experience with the Inmans was wonderful. They kept up contact to keep all planning on track and made us feel like very important clients. The Inmans divided and conquered to get the most shots in the time we had. They knew exactly where to be at each part of the way and if something was running late unexpectedly, they knew how to make up the time elsewhere so we still were able to enjoy the full wedding. Ashley truly can do it all. Instead of my bridesmaids trying to figure out my bustle, she did it extremely quickly and perfectly. My husband and I were extremely excited when looking at our photos. We said "Wow!" back to back all through viewing them. They were bright, colorful, and every moment was captured. The best part about having the Inmans is the final product. While every part of the experience was amazing, the goal is the final product. In looking at the pictures, you see everything wonderful about this team!

I appreciated the mockups that she sent beforehand so that I could get an idea of her vision. She was very professional working with the other vendors. Her flower arrangements were absolutely beautiful and I'm still receiving compliments on the designs of the flowers, table settings and my bouquet. Through Mawusi Events we rented a beautiful floral arch and arrangements for the ceremony. The Wedding party included a bouquet, corsages, and boutonnières that matched our wedding colors. We also rented drapery and candles for the ceremony. For the reception Dzigbodi created beautiful centerpieces, table settings and sweetheart table and a table for the cake. Dzigbodi and staff worked diligently all night and I barely saw them take a pause! They truly went above and beyond to help make sure that we had a beautiful wedding.

Mary Lee gives the perfect personal touch to her weddings. We met her about a year in advance, and…read moreafter an hour or so in a cafe, she felt like family! I really appreciated getting to read her speech ahead of time. I was worried that, because we aren't religious and didn't have any special passages to read, the ceremony would be bland, but Mary Lee put together a moving piece that honestly made me cry the first time I read it. She's also flexible - a few months before the wedding we decided to add a moment of silence for deceased loved ones, and it was no problem. AND she's funny - we were giggling through our entire rehearsal. :)

The couple was super "themselves" and had a very specific vision of what they wanted the ceremony to entail (I know, I helped them plan it and put it together!) Mary followed their vision to a tee. She kept the ceremony light-hearted and short (it was a pretty blustery November day) just as the couple had requested. Despite the wind and the fact that we were outside she spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear her. Mary made the entire process as easy as possible for the couple which is so important! (Really, who has time to worry about more details on their wedding day or the time leading up to it???) I had an amazing officiant at my wedding so I can relate to how important these details are. Finally, and most importantly, Mary is completely open-minded to all requests and knows when to interject with thoughts and knows when to keep silent and respect the couples' wishes. As much as I LOVED my officiant, I wish I'd had the privilege of working with Mary Lee!!!

Hiring Leah was one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our big day. In the middle of a…read morepandemic, Leah was understanding about our rescheduling needs, thoughtful about where to take us to elope, and gave us beautiful photos that we're sure to treasure forever. Leah worked with us to pick a location that felt unique and true to our personalities. She met us beforehand to help us get comfortable with working with her, and she humored us when we wanted to do some silly things. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We would recommend her highly for your elopement needs!

I have always wanted to remember moments as they are and especially more so, my wedding day! As…read moresuch I was looking for someone who can capture the day as it was, and Leah did that and in the most beautiful way. She worked with us right from helping us choose the locations for our TWO ceremonies. My partner and I are both born and raised in India and as such were not very aware on how to go about planning our elopement in a different country. Leah sent over a very detailed list of potential locations, with pros and cons of each, she worked with us to understand how we envisioned the day. She helped us zero in on the two most gorgeous venues and travelled with us to both of them, including pit stops at our apartment to get the cutest photos with our cat and the hotel where we changed into our Indian attires for the second ceremony. Leah also helped us chalk out the timeline for the day and ensured that we had little buffers for little delays here and there. On the day of, Leah worked perfectly in coordination with out planner/officiant. She got the most beautiful and real pictures of the two ceremonies. I am the most awkward person in front of a camera, and she managed to make me look like beautiful, she perfectly caught the small little moments during the ceremony that we would always cherish. For our Indian ceremony, she went ahead and found the perfect little rock at Belle Isle and got the most perfect golden hour shots of our garland exchange ceremony. Inclusivity, kindness, support and guidance - we found it all working with Flit Photography. We have nothing but gratitude for Flit Photography in our hearts!

He was super nice and super calm. He suggested things that he thinks we should do, some of them we used and some of them we didn't, and he was very understanding and respectful of my ideas. He didn't push us to do something we didn't want. He played the songs I wanted and asked for. He understood my taste very well with the songs that I said he can add himself.

While I give Choice Entertainment high praise for their management of their DJ's, I have to share…read morethis review w/ the particular DJ my daughter & son-in-law chose for their wedding at the "Meet the DJ" event in Richmond. They selected Rick Pfamatter. I have to say, he was LESS than easy to work with. My daughter was so distraught because he was trying to get her to change the reception and cocktail hour time the month before the wedding. She had a 2pm wedding at St. Bridget Catholic Church in Richmond and then we were having a cocktail hour and reception starting at 6pm at The Wyndham Virginia Crossings. He insisted (REPEATEDLY) that she change the cocktail hour to 4pm because he said the wait in between would be "awkward". She explained that this was NOT possible and the guests were fully aware of their options. Many of our guests were coming from out of state and were actually staying at the Wyndham. Plus we had made it clear to our guests that there were options on the property to keep themselves occupied before the reception. This was not good enough for Rick. 4 weeks before the wedding, my daughter called me crying and asked me to "handle" him. I did and I am a Type-A person - EXTREMELY organized and detail oriented. I had to explain to him a minimum of 4 times that we were NOT changing the reception time or the cocktail hour. In the end, the reason he wanted to start earlier was because he thought the guests would see him preparing and he didn't want them to think he was unprepared! WHAT???!! I got a template from Rick that was completely disorganized with a timeline and "suggestions" from him on how to proceed with the reception. I thanked him for the suggestions and organized the entire event making a very detailed playlist (linked to YouTube so there would be no question as to the version of the tunes we wanted), and even a script for him to follow as I had a feeling he would go rogue on me the night of the wedding. We had a list for the cocktail hour, the reception hour, and the special dances, plus an entire playlist for the reception picked by my daughter, her fiance and our family. A trained monkey could have followed that script! For example, Rick had suggested that the bridal party be introduced and make a semi-circle on the dance floor so that when the bride and groom entered, they would dance in the middle. Well, THAT was ridiculous! How on earth are the guests supposed to see the first dance? I changed the "script" and specifically told him WHY we made the change. Wouldn't you know that when it came time to announce the parents and the bridal party he gave instructions to the brridal party to form a semi-circle! I nearly flipped! This was how we were going to start the evening? A battle of wills??? I stepped in front and told him and the group in no uncertain terms that the bridal party was going to proceed in front of the head table so they could watch the first dance and so the guests could all see them, as well. Apparently, everyone understood that made sense - EXCEPT Rick! I gave him over 60 minutes of classic romantic ballads to play throughout the dinner service and by the end of the my meal (and I was done quite early), he was playing upbeat tunes that were NOT on our list. I approached him and asked why he was not playing the playlist and he said "Oh, we finished through all of those! I wanted to pick the pace up a little." Again, people are enjoying a lovely meal and relaxing. I didn't want anyone to feel rushed! His choice of music was exactly what I did NOT want! Then when the special dances started, he did choose the selections we chose but decided to cut the dances short (for whatever reason) and cut my husband's dance with his daughter and my daughter's dance with her grandfather. I let that go. Perhaps he was short on time? Whatever....but by the time the reception started, he went completely off. I will give him credit for playing some of the highlighted songs we wanted but otherwise, he did his own thing playing a lot of remix CRAP and none of the 90's songs my daughter wanted played. Between the disco lights and him turning on the house lights in the middle of the reception by mistake, I was NOT impressed with his performance. When someone hands you a list of music, PLAY IT! He wanted to play games and have contests and make special announcements (repeatedly) but I told him I wanted none of that. As it turned out, he made way too many announcements during dinner and it was becoming annoying. No one needs to be told that the bride is going to dance with her father 30 minutes before she does it! I sincerely think he just wanted to hear himself talk and it was annoying - to everyone! In the end, we had a great time because we were a great crowd and were not going to let his music selections slow us down. But as far as following instructions, if you are a Type-A person who knows what you want, do NOT get Rick Pfamatter!

Megan has been with us for every major moment of our love story -- from the proposal to engagement…read morephotos and now our wedding -- and she has blown us away every single time. Her photography style is everything I love: light, bright, joyful, with pops of color in all the right places. Her photos feel like happiness. On our wedding day, she showed up early, handled the heat like an absolute pro, and never stopped moving. She gave the best direction, kept us laughing and feeling confident, and honestly made us feel like we were the best-looking bridal party ever. Her energy was infectious -- always hyping us up and keeping the vibe fun and relaxed. She captured everything so beautifully -- especially our first looks. Megan made those moments feel so private and personal, like we were the only two people in the world... and yet somehow still got the most perfect, emotional shots. When I got our sneak peek gallery back, I literally screamed. (Not kidding.) If these are just the sneak peeks, I can't even imagine how the full gallery is going to wreck me -- in the best way. Our engagement shoot photos were jaw-dropping too. I gasped at every single one. It's actually impossible to pick a favorite. And Megan brought along a second shooter, Tori, for the wedding day, and she was equally amazing -- kind, focused, and clearly just as passionate about getting the best shots. I will never stop recommending Megan Lindsey Photography. She is the one I'll call for every photoshoot for the rest of my life. She's that good. She never misses, and I truly have nothing negative to say -- only endless gratitude for how beautifully she preserved the most important moments of our lives.
