The Inmans Photo and Video were an absolute joy to work with! From the moment we put an inquiry in to the actual day, they were nothing short of amazing to work with! While we didn't have Ashley and Camden (the owners) for our big day, their team was incredible. I have nothing but great things to say about their professionalism, their communication to each other and us, and how they made us feel as calm and at peace as you possibly can be on your wedding day! If you have the chance to book and work with The Inmans Photo and Video, you absolutely should! Our big day wouldn't have been the same without them and their help, guidance, and encouragement throughout the planning process made a world of difference!!!

Jesslyn McCartney Photography

Richmond, VA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000

Please reach out through my website! I am inactive on zola. My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, medium format film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's. :)

Jesslyn is always a dream to work with. She’s extremely easy going and makes taking pictures a breeze (she’s brings out the real smiles bc she is so darn funny). She has an insanely quick turnaround time for getting your pictures back and is truly intentional with her editing. Jesslyn has such an artistic touch on her photos and I will always refer her above anyone else.

Hi, I'm David, a Virginia-based photographer. Unlike many photographers, my introduction to the art of photo taking initially started off purely by accident. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am very thankful to be in the position I am in today.

Awarded Best of Zola
When Annie and I booked him, we had full intentions to have him do our wedding. We put down the deposit, and then things went sideways financially. We unfortunately had to go back to him and cancel. My fiancé was devastated, so I reached out to him, and asked if he could do a quick hour shoot, like an engagement session. He was very quick to reply, and get us on the schedule. He was so kind and understanding, I truly wish we could have him for our wedding, but I am grateful he was willing to work with us. I know my wife-to-be and I are going to cherish those pictures forever.

If you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, I cannot recommend Stephanie Jenkins enough!! We hired Stephanie at the recommendation of a friend - and I’m so glad we did!! Putting aside the fact that her photos are STUNNING (which they are), Stephanie had such a relaxing and fun presence that she made taking wedding photos a good time! It’s so clear in both her attitude and her work that she loves what she’s doing, and that makes the whole experience 1000x better. On top of that, her work is simply gorgeous. She has such an eye for angles and poses that really comes through in the photos. Stephanie also sent us a sneak peak gallery the day after the wedding (which is not the norm!), which was so nice and let us relive some of our favorite moments the next day! Stephanie was responsive, professional, and best of all TALENTED. Again, if you’re looking for a Richmond wedding photographer, hire Stephanie!!!

We are so lucky to have found Autumn's Custom Catering for our wedding! We found it was still cheaper to pay their travel fee to go from Richmond to Charlottesville than to find a local caterer and we so appreciate them making the long haul for us! Claudine and staff were friendly, informative, and responsive. The food was AMAZING and all of the catering staff went above and beyond to make our day special. They even helped put away decor and chairs at the end of the night while boxing up our leftovers (which we're still enjoying a week later!) We got so many compliments on both the food and the helpfulness of the catering crew and we cannot thank them enough!!

Hey! I’m Rebekah Vijay. I’m passionate about creating story-directed artistic and emotional films to capture the most special day of your life. After all, at the end of the day, it’s memories that we die with. My goal is to capture the honest and true essence of your wedding day by candidly capturing the big moments and everything in between. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about myself, it’s that I’m a storyteller. I love having the great gift of documenting amazing couples as they celebrate their love from engagement, to wedding day, to a life full of love.

Our family has been undoubtedly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Rebekah! We had just received our final film and no words can accurately describe how beautiful it turned out by capturing our most special and treasured memories from that day. Working with Rebekah has been a blessing from the start - her communication was outstanding and very much appreciated in that from the moment I had sent out an inquiry to when we had gotten our final film, Rebekah had always checked in with us, given us updates, and I never felt any detail was overlooked. Every moment I had expressed I wanted captured during our calls were all included beautifully in the film that I felt perfectly represented our wedding day. More so, we were given our sneak peak trailer so quickly after our wedding day! Moreover, Rebekah has made us feel so comfortable and I had felt so confident with her that I was able to be fully present and not worry about absolutely anything on our big day. If youre considering Rebekah, please please don’t hesitate! It will be nothing short of a blessing to work with her

Hey I’m Anthony! I'm a Virginia based DJ/MC or "Vibe Creator" as I prefer to call it. It's my absolute joy to run a business that specializes in creating and sharing once in a lifetime experiences for some of the most incredible people. My versatility and passion for my craft has kept me a sought after DJ for over two decades. With my experience in the wedding industry, I have the knowledge and skills to handle all aspects of your wedding entertainment. Providing you with an epic dance party is my main goal, but as your wedding DJ, I'm focused on making sure your entire wedding runs smoothly. I hope we get the chance to celebrate soon!

DJ Anthony Bryant (aka DJ Ant-Boogie) was absolutely amazing and such an important part of our wedding experience. When planning a wedding, there are a million things to worry about. DJ Ant Boogie is not one of them. He was so nice and so patient and professional with us during the planning, and an absolute joy to work with during the actual wedding. We had such little direction for him and gave the most vague descriptions of our friends and ourselves and the general vibe and he crafted the most perfect wedding playlist I have ever heard. All night people were complimenting us on our amazing song choices (all DJ ant boogie) and the dance floor was alive literally all night. He also did such a wonderful job with all of our special requests and announcements and all the “scripted wedding stuff” that happens during a wedding. Everyone had such an amazing time and he was such an integral part of that. DJ Ant Boogie, thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. We had a perfect night, and we are so grateful.

She was easy to work with and helped create a memorable night for the couple. If you're considering hiring DJ Shanghai, don't think about it - DO IT! She'll bring the right vibe to your wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
We came across Alaaeldin while searching online through various wedding websites, aiming to find a photographer with positive reviews, reasonable pricing, and an impressive wedding portfolio. After interviewing several photographers, we had the pleasure of connecting with Alaaeldin, who impressed us right from the start with his profound knowledge of photography and the entire wedding process. Along with his team he provided us with valuable guidance and materials from the planning stage up until the wedding day. This was incredibly helpful especially for a new bride-to-be like myself whether or not we had a wedding planner. One thing that stood out was his pro/con list regarding whether or not to do a first look. This list played a significant role in helping my husband and me make our decision. From the moment we booked Alaaeldin and his team, they were highly responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Their dedication was remarkable even during weeks of no communication, Alaaeldin would send a quick note to check in on how I was doing and if I needed any assistance. He even sent a thoughtful text the day before the wedding reassuring me that he was there for me if I needed anything at all. Initially, I was apprehensive about posing correctly and being conscious of having a double chin in the photos – silly, I know! However, he made us feel so at ease that we ended up going with the flow and posing naturally in the moment. They created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, making the entire experience fun and memorable. We genuinely felt like we were spending time with lifelong friends. For future couples considering Alaaeldin's services, we have some valuable advice to offer: 1. Don't miss the engagement session; it's a must! and 2. definitely consider getting the photobooth! Our guests had an incredible time, and it added an exciting and lively element to the celebration.

Linden Row Inn

Richmond, VA

  • Up to 125 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $1,600

Linden Row Inn, a historic wedding venue in Richmond, Virginia, is ideal for couples wishing to exchange vows in a setting steeped in history. Furnished with antiques from the middle and late 1800s, the venue is featured on the National Registry of Historic Places. A staple in the wedding industry for the over 30 years, Linden Row Inn is the perfect choice for capturing the importance of your special day!

If you are looking for a wedding venue that captures the magic and beauty of a historic location, while adding in its own flair and charm, look no further than Linden Row. My husband and I are truly in awe of how stunning, romantic, charming, and timeless this venue was. Not only is Linden Row a historic venue that is timelessly preserved, but it is located centrally in the heart of Richmond, with all the fun elements it has to offer. Complete with its stunning courtyard, magical tree canopy, and rustic brick, the Linden Row is the perfect place to have a wedding. Beyond its inherent charm, Linden Row is convenient for guests and couples alike. Our guests loved that they could stay on-site for the wedding, grab a bite at Parterre during the weekend, and retire to their cozy room or suite at the end of the night. As a bride, the fact that we could do everything in one location was a game-changer. Additionally, I would recommend the suites to anyone who is getting married--the floor to ceiling windows, beautiful details, and historic elements make for stunning photos. In addition to the location itself, Linden Row's value is in its professional staff. Specifically, Casey, Alexa, and the entire team were invaluable in making our day a success. They worked flawlessly with our vendors, were extremely flexible throughout the entire process and wedding weekend, and executed our vision to a tee. I can confidently say not a single thing went wrong on our wedding (which is very rare) and in fact the wedding was even more magical than expected. Linden Row is truly a rare find. As a budget-conscious bride, I found its value to be incredible, and beyond that it is a place we can return to for years to come to celebrate the memories of a wonderful wedding.

  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,500

Every couple is different and we strive to create something with you that truly reflects that. From first meet to final delivery, you can expect a genuine experience that hopefully feels like working with a friend more than a vendor.

My husband and I booked Cat after seeing 1 Instagram post and having 1 phone call. When you know, you know ;). I knew I wanted videography services and one of her reels caught my eye (the song she used was a string quartet version of one of my husband and I's "songs"). I saw the reel, sent her an email, and was shocked that she was in our budget. It really felt like fate. Cat probably doesn't realize this but booking her set the tone for other vendors we booked and we truly had a dream team. I have her to thank for that! She and Jared were professional, kind, and easygoing. She had a very calming presence about her and she vibed super well with our photographer (who we also loved)! I had zero concern or worry about the quality of the content she would produce- we trusted her completely. Every teaser I saw was exactly what I'd hoped. She caught the most perfect moments and our video is truly a representation of the day. I will cherish it forever, especially as we grow older and the memories inevitably fade. I would book Cat a thousand times over and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer- wedding coverage or otherwise!!

Alex Hines Photography is for the modern-styled couple who takes priority in tangible memories; memories that are timeless and unforgettable. Couples who value human connection and legacy. A wedding day is captured in a journalistic or documentary approach with very little guidance. With elegance and class, I specialize in off-guard flattering photos capturing in-the-moment emotion.

Alex was incredible to work with, start to finish. She was prompt to respond when we initially reached out to her, and we quickly setup a zoom call. We fell in love with her pure passion for what she does, and we felt fully comfortable and confident in her ability and professionalism. Alex kept up with us throughout the year long engagement and sent us helpful information along the way. She was responsive to messages on honeybook and always calm and confident—which helped ease any bridal anxieties I had! Alex did phenomenal work the day of the wedding. She was prompt, professional, and had a great vibe for our special day. She helped us scope out some fun, artistic spots to take photos and she made the whole day very special. I cannot wait to see the final images but I have no doubt that they will be beyond breath-taking. Alex—I hope we have more special occasions in the future that require your talent and vision! Thank you for ALL you did for us. -Kayla and George

Our Curated Design

Richmond, VA
  • Planner
  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $1,000

Hey there, I’m Jami Pollnow Heath. I’m a wedding planner living and working in Richmond, Virginia. I'm a Maryland native living Richmond Virginia with my husband in our first home; a big beautiful project in Fulton Hill. In my journey down the aisle I found more than just my future partner, I found what I was meant to do; helping people like you say "I do" too!

We hired Jami for Day of Coordination and received her support over several months, beginning with an hour-long meeting 3 months out! Our wedding was the most incredible day of our lives in big thanks due to Jami’s thoughtful attention to detail, hard work, past wedding experience, and pure kindness! I get emotional thinking about the day and our wonderful experience with Jami! She was truly above and beyond! “Our Curated Design” is the perfect name for her business because she’ll work with you to envision the day you want, going with you through all of your mood boards and ideas so she truly “gets it”! She’ll put what you want into words and writing and then the best part – BRING IT TO LIFE! We wanted whimsical, modern, Wes Anderson vibes, and we more than got them! It was amazing! Going into planning a wedding, I had no idea what a Herculean effort it is to execute one. Even for 80 people, it really is 1,000 details. Jami will make sure to think of every single one. She’ll answer every question you ask and remember the answer when you’ve forgotten it on the big day. She’ll be your biggest cheerleader before, during, and after your wedding. It’s also the little things that Jami thinks of! She had the creative idea to take instax film images throughout our wedding that we’ll now get to cherish forever! We already are! It means so much to us to know that Jami and Will, her husband, had our back throughout our day. We honestly can’t believe how well the day went, but it wasn’t luck or just our planning, it was mostly due to Our Curated Design magic! At the end of the night when we were exhausted (we’d left it all on the dance floor) and we couldn’t help to pack up our decor and things like we wanted to, Jami and Will took care of it with smiles! They were such a calming presence to share the end of our night with. Not to mention, everything got back to our home expertly packed! I would recommend Our Curated Design over and over!

Being a mother, wife, and believer in Jesus has made me see the beauty of tears, smiles of joy, and bonds of union between two people ready for their new journey.

During weddings, events, headshots, you name it, Nia will always have a smile on her face. She commands the attention of the room to ensure we are running according to schedule and as a wedding coordinator it is extremely helpful.

The John Marshall Ballrooms

Richmond, VA
  • Venue
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $6,500

The Hotel John Marshall opened in 1929 as the largest hotel in Virginia. Its rooms welcomed Elizabeth Taylor, Mary Tyler Moore, and Elvis Presley along with political figures such as Presidents Nixon, Ford, and Carter. After sitting vacant for over 20 years (save a few attempts to open) the building recently underwent an $80 Million renovation, spanning two years of construction to strip it back to the bones and restore it to its original 1920's grandeur.

Absolutely, hands down the best venue. I would have my wedding there again. Maria and her stuff were the easiest of people to work with. Everything from the food and decor, to drinks and table settings; everyone worked to make it the best day ever. Having in house catering is underrated and more people should choose a venue like The John Marshall and Homemade by Suzanne’s. When you have a 2 in 1 great deal like this you don’t have to worry about coordinating things yourself, which is a huge plus when you plan your own wedding!! Both my husband and I are so grateful for everything. It made the day go so smoothly and stress free. The ballrooms being beautiful just make the whole venue come together. 1000% would recommend having your wedding here!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jessica was AMAZING to work with throughout the entire wedding process! We got the opportunity to work with Jessica for our engagement photos at Glacier National park in 2019 and were completely obsessed with our photos. So, when COVID kept changing our original wedding plans in Michigan and we decided on a small wedding out in Colorado we knew we had to have Jessica photograph our wedding. Jessica was always so quick to respond to texts/emails with any questions we had! Jessica is more than willing to go above and beyond for her clients. She is fun, professional, and makes the whole experience comfortable and easy. We couldn't have dreamed of a better photographer to work with and capture our Big Day!

He is incredibly easy going and I felt perfectly safe leaving the cocktail hour set list in his hands. He understood the vibe we were going for and just ran with it. He even was willing to learn the song I wanted played as I walked down the aisle. All of our guests had nothing but good things to say either! He definitely helped make our special day perfect!

  • DJ

Our wedding DJ's are trained to entertain! We take pride in having the knowledge, the fun & the skills to have your guests dancing the night away! Beyond being a DJ our team will assist in anyway we can, from song selections to timeline planning. Enjoy your reception and let us play the perfect melodies for you and your loved ones!

I used M2M for DJ and photobooth services, and they did an amazing job! DJ Jerz and DJ Coria had great communication with me through out the planning process in order to deliver my vision. DJ Jerz kept the dancefloor packed, read the energy in the reception perfectly, and even made reminder announcements for my guests to check out my audio guestbook. During the ceremony, DJ Jerz timed the processional perfectly and provided audio/mics for our readers and our officiant (it was outdoors but you could still hear everyone clearly!!). Jeremiah, our photobooth attendant, was so fun and sweet! He even helped accommodate some larger groups that wanted to get in the photobooth together. There was a small issue in getting the printer set up for the photobooth, but I strongly believe that was our fault since it was outside and wiring everything up was a nightmare, but Jeremiah wasn't phased and still delivered excellent service. I highly recommend M2M for your special day!!

K&Z FILM 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Richmond, VA

Karlo & Zadie are a husband and wife videography team and we have a ginormous heart for our couples. We value the personal relationship we develop with our couples and we are always honored to be chosen to capture their wedding. We aren't just videographers but we consider ourselves storytellers. Our aim is to always produce a beautiful wedding film that stands the test of time. Our couples are either shedding tears when they watch our films or smiling the whole way through. This is our goal and this is our promise!

Karlo and his team are absolutely phenomenal. I didn’t think wedding videography was a priority in our planning process until I came across his work. From our initial meeting, I knew K&Z Film was the real deal. After stumbling across his work, I knew we had to include them in our big day. Our venue had specific requirements surrounding vendors and their insurance. Karlo worked with us and our venue for weeks to ensure he met their requirements, which we truly cannot thank him enough for. There was a form Karlo had us fill out leading up to our wedding which asked how we wanted to feel during our wedding and what we hoped the video would encapsulate. Karlo not only delivered on every single point I had listed in that form and our meetings, but he went beyond that. Our sneak peek was given to us only days following our wedding…and let me tell you, it’s EPIC. Every person I’ve shared it with says it feels like the trailer to a box office film; that couldn’t be more true. I am at a loss for words at the quality of work, the craftsmanship, the artistry, editing and angles that are all prevalent in our video. When it came to the day of the wedding, Karlo and his team arrived early and started working from the jump. They worked tirelessly throughout the day to capture everything I had asked for. His guidance and suggestions were fun and I barely felt like I had a camera on me; just some really cool people following us around and hyping us up. K&Z is top notch; a professional service that goes above and beyond for you. His work speaks for itself. I truly cannot recommend Karlo and K&Z Film MORE. Best decision and I will cherish our wedding video for the rest of my life. He makes us want to get married again and again and again just so we can get more masterpieces from him.

Katie Nesbitt Photography 

5.0

Richmond, VA
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000

I'm Katie and I've been a wedding photographer for over ten years now. In that time I've been lucky to photograph nearly 200 weddings all over the East coast and the world! I love to approach each wedding day as though I were telling the story to someone who wasn't there...which to me means capturing a mixture of the little details you worked so hard to choose as well as those little in between moments that happen as the day unfolds. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can find me shopping at Trader Joe's, planning my next trip, or cuddling with my cat, Lucy!

I had the pleasure of working with Katie Nesbitt over the course of several years and have watched her talents evolve in the process. Katie's eye for detail is astounding, and beyond her technical expertise, she is a joy to work with. She deftly navigates complex family dynamics, moves swiftly through portrait sessions, and knows when to blend into the background and when to assert herself to get the best pictures. She has a way of elevating our charming, little farm venue through her lens and makes it look sophisticated and refined! I was always impressed by the mix of candids, posed shots, and details she captured throughout the day. Beyond that, she is punctual, communicative, dependable, and complimented every single vendor team she has been paired with for our couples! In fact, I hired Katie as my own wedding photographer for my 2020 (now 2022) wedding because I was so impressed with her professionalism behind the scenes as well as her work. I've loved working with Katie in this capacity, especially during these complicated times, because every communication reminded me that she cared, listened, was flexible as we were forced to change our plans. The next steps were clearly outlined, so we were never left wondering what was going on. It made us feel that we were being guided by a true professional through a process she was a master at! I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience.

Renee Doorly 

5.0

Richmond, VA
  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $400

I am a freelance hair and makeup artist offering on-site bridal hairstyling and makeup. My artistic approach stems from my time studying painting at VCU Arts. I’ve learned so much in my 6 years doing bridal styling and have loved every minute. From in-person and online workshops to learn from other artists in my community, I am always picking up new techniques and finding new inspiration. My style is natural but elevated. I love texture and romance.

I am so glad I used Renee as my hair and make-up artist for our wedding day. From the initial consultation to the final touch-up, the entire experience was nothing short of perfection. I asked her to change some things from the hair and make-up trail on our wedding day and she nailed it. I felt absolutely stunning but also still felt like I looked like myself. My hair and makeup were flawless and lasted throughout the entire celebration, despite the humidity and dancing. Renee is warm, kind and so calm – the exact person you want to spend a huge chunk of time with on your wedding day. Renee also did the mother of the bride, mother of the groom and maid of honor’s hair. They all loved their hair and felt so pretty. I highly recommend Renee to any bride looking for a stress-free, high-quality experience that ensures you look your absolute best on your special day!

  • Starts at $2,500

Based in Richmond, VA, Thibecs Production is a videography business that creates moving wedding films for couples in the Old Dominion State. This accomplished service is led by husband-and-wife duo Thiago and Becca, a talented team that delights in producing cinematic heirlooms. The pair specializes in a range of film styles and can seamlessly modify their techniques to ensure that the end-product exceeds your expectations.

They are wonderful. A husband and wife duo that knows what they are doing! I have a unique story though.. My husband and I had to move our wedding date from a Tuesday to a Saturday. Instead of having ThiBecs come to the wedding day, we met at Shenandoah Valley and took pictures and videos without the distraction of the big day… and OH MY the pics and vids are gorgeous! They are so sweet and great at their job! It was just us and them. Beautiful. 100% recommend.
