We were certain we wanted to work with Alex / Toussaint Productions halfway through our introduction call. We immediately knew that Alex would not only show up for us on our wedding day, but he would really get the party started. I think each of us (me, my husband, and Alex) were not sure how or what to expect from our diverse wedding guest list. Well, Alex worked his magic and had our dance floor PACKED throughout the entire reception! I still am blown away by just how epic and fun our ceremony was. I knew my people would show up, but Alex truly kept everyone going until it was time to bring the party elsewhere. Every single one of our guests raved about Alex to us after the wedding, and we still have people mentioning to us about how awesome our dj was. Aside from what he brought to the table on our wedding day, Alex and his team are professional, kind, and just simply passionate about their work. I would book with Toussaint Productions again and again, and cannot recommend them enough!

Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

Do not hire ANY other photographer in the metro Washington, DC area if you want crystal clear, flattering, well-composed, and gorgeous photos of your wedding. Bethany is a delight to work with.

Your wedding is one of the most meaningful days of your life and your florals shouldn’t be an afterthought or feel like copy + paste from other weddings you’ve been to. This is most likely the most you will ever spend on flowers. It’s important to get them just right. You’re working so hard to create a wedding day that is a reflection of what is most important to the two of you and who you are. Why should your flowers be any different? I design arrangements that reflect your vision and respect your budget.

Lindsey was the best to work with. I had only a very basic idea of what we wanted for florals and Lindsey helped to take that and turn it into the beautiful pieces we had at our wedding! Super easy to work with, really friendly and lovely, and a very reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend her!

On the day of the clients wedding we all worked together as a team to give the couple the best day. The photos are beautiful. Consider Yalford you won't regret it !

Throughout my four years there I planned all of our large-scale events, which included designing all floral elements for each event. It was at that job I truly learned just how obsessed I am with planning and executing events, as well as floral design.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Stacey Ann to be our day of wedding coordinator and setup crew. We were BEYOND happy with her service. She did a walkthrough of the venue, had touch points leading up to the wedding and absolutely nailed the event. Everything went exactly as planned thanks to her attention to detail. If anyone ever ask us who to use, she is number one on the list.
