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. :)

I've had the honor of attending a wedding officiated by Mary Lee. It was a beautiful, casual…read morewedding outside on a hill overlooking the water in front of the couples' home in Urbanna, VA. 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!!!

Where to start. How about - our wedding would have crashed and burned without the Inman's. In case…read moreyou dont read this whole review, heres the list - HIRE THEM and ask questions later. 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!

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!

Rebecca did our wedding a few years back, and I just found out she's listed here on yelp. I could…read morenot be more thrilled to give her a stellar review. We picked Rebecca because we adored her style. We were not looking for formal, posed portraits for our wedding; we wanted to capture the real and spontaneous moments of the day that, to us, make it special. Rebecca does this flawlessly. Her photos capture the emotion and feeling of the moment in a really true and honest way. Because we were on a budget, Rebecca worked with us to give us a package that fit our needs at a price we could afford. She talked at length with us about what we were looking for, and made sure to get shots of details we wanted to be sure not to miss. Her professionalism was bar none, and she coordinated with other staff to ensure we got all the photos we wanted just right and without needing us to assist, so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy the day. The end result was nothing short of magical. I didn't expect to love the photos from the wedding as much as I do, but my husband and I find ourselves looking at them more often than expected just because they really capture the happiness and joy of the day in such a real way. She got photos of things I would never have remembered otherwise, and they are all so special. I look beautiful, my husband looks handsome, and all our friends and family look so happy. It's such a joy to revisit them. Needless to say, I could not recommend Rebecca enough. I have yet to see photographs of a wedding I think are as high quality as hers are, and working with her was a dream. She is a true artist.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lindsay Kennedy and LK Events. From our first phone…read morecall with Lindsay I knew she would be the perfect mix of calm, reassuring, knowledgeable and incredibly detail-oriented. We hired Lindsay to be our month-of coordinator, but in the year leading up to the wedding Lindsay went above and beyond. Discussing details of the wedding with her was like talking to a close friend. We never felt like we were just a number or just "the October 1st wedding." She was so approachable, friendly and upbeat but her guidance showed a deep knowledge and shrewd understanding of all the inner workings of the wedding industry. She never let us get confused or led astray by other vendors because she instantly understood our personalities and our vision and put our minds at ease with every conversation. All of her preparations in the months leading up to the wedding allowed her to know our wedding like it was her own so that by the time we got to the big day I completely handed over all control and decisions to her and didn't have to worry or second guess anything. We had no hesitation trusting her to flawlessly execute every detail of the wedding - and she did! I am sure she answered a million last minute questions from vendors and guests and made quick decisions on things I would have never contemplated, but I never saw or heard it (and for that I am eternally grateful). Problems that could have derailed the day became insignificant hiccups - not only because of her quick thinking and creative problem solving, but also because she was calm, composed and smiling while she fixed the issues. You cannot help but feel relaxed and taken care of when Lindsay is in charge. She allowed us to keep our anxiety levels at a minimum and enjoy our day - something that is invaluable to any bride and groom. Lindsay is unstoppable. Torrential rain, mountains of DIY decorations to transport, last minute changes and even the birth of her child couldn't slow Lindsay down. Lindsay was on maternity leave just a few weeks before our wedding but she never missed a beat. She made sure we had coverage from her business partner Windy (who was also wonderful to work with) but we didn't even need it! She had everything so well-planned in advance of her short absence and she jumped back in so seamlessly afterwards that it was as if she never left. I was lucky enough to have a team of fantastic wedding vendors, but Lindsay was by far the best of the best. If you are debating whether or not to hire a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, stop questioning it and talk to Lindsay at LK Events and Designs. You will not regret it!
