Mia was a joy to work with! Incredibly organized, detail oriented, and at the same time calm and easy going. Mia ensured that everything worked toward my daughter and her (now) husband’s vision for their special day. And when that day came, it was perfect. Her team were polished and professional and even came up with a plan to execute something we thought wouldn’t work at the last minute. They handled everything calmly ( even the bee that got caught in the lining of an attendant’s dress!). I honestly believe that hiring Mia and Little Acorn Events was the best investment we made for this wedding. We were all able to have the most magical, stress free day because Mia and her team were handling every detail. I would give Little Acorn Events a 10 out of 10!

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $60

Uncommon Cakes was referred by our wedding venue for desserts for our wedding. We hired Uncommon Cakes after a quick phone call understanding she could pretty much make anything with any flavor. Uncommon Cakes was able to accommodate tastings for us when we came into town to do wedding things. They were quick to respond and easy to work with. We ended up selecting multiple flavors of cupcakes for dessert along with a small cake for cutting. We highly recommend Uncommon Cakes for any dessert!

My wife and I could not have been happier working with Emie for our wedding in Charlottesville, VA.

She was so accommodating working with us and getting everything together on such a tight schedule. Furthermore, Emie made us feel incredibly comfortable throughout the day, and the volumes of pictures she took captured exactly our vibe and spirit as a couple. She got us immediately.

Hi! I am so happy you are here! Congrats on your engagement. I am Jordan, owner and photographer of Jordan Kate Photography, based in Amherst, Va. I fell in love with photography when I was young. I started by taking pictures of the beautiful mountains that make up my hometown, eventually, when I graduated high school, I ventured into photographing weddings. I absolutely LOVE every aspect of being a photographer. Whether that is meeting a bride for the first time or sending off a fully edited wedding gallery. I am HERE for it! I look forward to meeting my clients and forming lasting friendships with each of them! It is so rewarding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jordan photographed our engagement session and our wedding in 2020. She was wonderful to work with during those events. We had no idea where to take engagement photos, but she gave several recommendations to help us choose from a list of places in our area with spectacular scenery. She gave us a check list for the day of the wedding, so it helped the entire process to run smoothly since we were prepared with the items to be photographed, a list of desired photos, and a timeline. Our engagement canvases and wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and well prepared photographer!

Joy Shots Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Amherst, VA

My photography journey started in high school, photographing church and community events. From there it was natural transition to begin offering photo sessions to my friends and family, and so Joy Shots was born in 2014.I was privileged to shoot my first wedding for a friend in 2015 and I have since had the honor to photograph over 50 weddings. I love the chances I have to work with couples from their initial engagement session through their wedding day, through capturing their growing families down through the years. To me the people I get to connect with year after year with Joy Shots are more than customers, they are a part of a family.

We were thrilled with Erika and Joy Shots Photography! Erika's communication was clear, vibrant, and quick - she always responded promptly to any questions we had leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Erika was professional, fun, and respectful. She made sure to capture all the special moments while keeping things light and moving smoothly. Erika was often there when we couldn't find our planner, stepping in to keep things on track. She really went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect and we got amazing photos to remember it by. The quality of Erika's work shows through in the vibrant, joyful photos she captured. She helped me with my veil and bustling my dress multiple times. She had my change of shoes when my feet began to hurt! She even let me borrow sunglasses for some super fun pics. We'd HIGHLY recommend Joy Shots Photography for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to beautifully photograph their special memories. She was the best vendor we hired at our wedding, by far.

Kanded LLC 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Amherst, VA

Hi! We're Kiersten and Enrique, the faces behind Kanded! Our vibe summed up in three words: Creative, Inclusive, Emotive. Since childhood, we've both had a strong love for art. Enrique's small town upbringing and love for writing infuses our images with warmth and nostalgia. Kiersten's passion for photography started as a young child on her Polaroid where she began her creative visual storytelling. When we're not creating, you'll find us on the hunt for vintage treasures, sinking our toes into the sand (and missing our beloved cats), or enjoying quality time at home with our three adorable fur babies: Ellie, Lola, and Jax.

I recently had an engagement session done with Kanded, and it was everything I could have asked for! I had a very specific vision in mind, and Kiersten and Enrique nailed it. From helping pick a location, doing camera tricks to help achieve the look I wanted (think dreamy vintage fairytale)- they were so helpful and attentive every step of the way! An added bonus is that you’re getting two photographers for the price of one, so you can’t go wrong booking with them :)

Hi, I'm Liz! I'm based in Lynchburg, VA. I moved here from Los Angeles where I studied Fashion Design and Merchandising. Photography has been a huge passion of mine since I was in middle school but one class in college that really sparked my interest again. When the Pandemic hit, I was 6 months pregnant and starting to realize that I didn't enjoy my job anymore. I was so tired of working 50-60 hours a week and realized the most important thing to me was to be there to raise my child. So, that was that and here I am.

Working with Rustic Rose Photography was the best experience! She completed both engagement and wedding pictures for us. I am not someone who loves to be in front of a camera, but Liz uses really natural prompts to make you feel like yourself and feel good. At my wedding, she was really supportive and even checked in with me to see if I needed water or food. She’s always prompt and fun to work with. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made when wedding planning. I can’t wait to scheduled more sessions with her in the future because she has a way of capturing the warmth of a moment in such a special way.

Tori Parker Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Amherst, VA

Although Tori lives on the east coast, her art & lifestyle is largely inspired by the west coast. Tori grew up just outside Los Angeles and her art reflects the airy, relaxed and purposeful atmosphere that exists in the Golden State. The Tori Parker team intends for their photos to reflect a similar air: relaxed but with a powerful undertone of golden hour hues and genuine joy. When Tori isn't taking photos or managing her amazing team of associate photoghers, she enjoys intentional time with Jesus, watching New Girl with her husband, being outdoors with her dogs, and eating the spiciest thing on the menu.

We really enjoyed working with Tori, Claire, and Brooke! Tori coordinated our photographers and edited our photos, Claire was our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding day, and Brooke was our second shooter for our wedding. The editing of our photos was done beautifully and working with Tori regarding the plan for our wedding made us very comfortable. Additionally, she got photos back to us very quickly! Claire was great to work with, she made us feel very comfortable during shoots and did a great job posing two people who are very uncomfortable in photos! The wedding party and family photos were also lovely and went very smoothly. They were very easy to work with and captured the event without distracting from it at all which was awesome.

The Blossom Farm

  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Amherst, VA

As a flower farmer-florist, I grow many of the flowers used in the weddings I service. I love hearing the unique stories of the couples I work with, and tailoring designs that reflect their life and fit their vision for their wedding. My designs are all about you and not about my farm, so I incorporate a blend of my farm's flowers and out-sourced florals to meet design needs, seasonal availability, or specific color requests. Crafting distinctive floral arrangements is my passion. I am proud that each wedding I've serviced is one-of-a-kind. I can't wait to meet you, learn about your vision for your wedding, and prepare a proposal for you.

I can't say enough about Jan from The Blossom Farm—she is not just a florist; she is a true artist. From our very first meeting, it was clear that her creative vision would transform our ideas into something grandiose, modern, and uniquely beautiful. Jan's dedication to her craft is evident in every detail, both before and on-site, ensuring that the flowers truly shine. She has an incredible knack for asking all the right questions, offering expert advice, and suggesting ideas that enhance the overall aesthetic. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her deep knowledge of flowers, color combinations, and compositions is truly impressive. If you're looking for a florist who combines artistic flair with exceptional skill and professionalism, Jan is your go-to. She turned our event into a floral masterpiece and made the entire experience unforgettable!

Foraged & Cut Flowers 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Serves Amherst, VA

I started my flower venture at a local flower shop in 2012. There I received formal training and quickly moved up to head wedding designer. After several years of focusing my skills in retail floristry I was able to fulfill my dream of working on a flower farm. I was lucky enough to design weddings with 3 acres of flowers I helped plant with my own hands. It was the most rewarding experience! I love working with flowers and want to stay true to the organic farm flowers I've come to love.

Natasha is the absolute best at what she does and made my wedding florals spectacular! I didn't know much about flowers, I just knew the general theme/colors I wanted and she knew exactly what to put together and it all looked amazing!!

Hello! I'm Christina! *I believe big love happens in the small moments. *I LOVE learning about your love story! *Chasing dreamy light for your portraits thrills me! *My favorite parts of a wedding day are the parts that show off the kind of life you’ve built & tell the story of who you are- the private vows, speeches, & stories shared throughout the day. I live to be the wallflower witnessing & capturing these moments. It is such an honor that I look forward to every weekend.

My husband and I used Golden Gower Photographer to capture our December wedding. Christina captured each moment and every emotion of our day perfectly. Christina as a photographer is kind, warm and encouraging. She has a special ability to make her clients feel comfortable and heard. Christina is quick to respond to any questions or concerns, and is prepared with solutions to calm any nerves. From our engagement shoot, to our wedding day, we are impressed not only with the quantity of pictures, but the quality of the photos as well. It is clear Christina took her time and put thought and care into each individual picture, and we feel so fortunate to have these beautiful pictures to look back on for years to come.
