  • Serves West River, MD

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.

Josh and his team at Buxton Media Productions were a great company to work with from start to finish of our wedding. Josh was a great communicator and really understood from the beginning what we were wanting. Josh was also very helpful with timeline for the day and had great suggestions. He also worked very well with our photographer. The day of the wedding stayed on track with a lot of help from him and his team. We were able to enjoy the day along side him working to capture every moment. During our private vows I didn’t realize he and his team were there, but they still captured every moment. The quality of videos were amazing. After watching our ceremony video we were impressed with the sound quality and we were astonished by how many cameras he had around without us knowing they were there. Him and his team went above and beyond on our wedding day and showed real professionalism throughout the whole day. Josh was good on his delivery of videos from the sneak peak to the actual videos he sent. If you are thinking about getting a videographer don’t hesitate to book Buxton Media Production. You will not regret the choice and you will have captured memories you will cherish for years to come!

Working with Robin of VOG Events was a great decision! She gave us lots of vendor suggestions but gave us the freedom to make decisions on our own. Working with other wedding vendors and signing contracts can be filled with new language, but Robin was very knowledgeable and took the time to help us understand the things we didn’t understand throughout the process. She also gave great tips on what to ask for or look for when choosing vendors and making decisions about minor details and how our day would flow. When it came to the wedding day Robin and her team executed things flawlessly! If something did go wrong we would have never known because they always had everything under control. Robin and her team were prompt, professional, and very personable.

Watch it! lol) and I'm still just as in love as that third day.

This was my first time working with Yalford Photography and I was impressed by the detail of her timeline. We worked together to make sure everything coincided and made any adjustments as needed. 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 !

Hello! My name is Megan, I am a self-taught floral designer and proud of it! While I was an event intern at a large non-profit, I did all fifty centerpieces for our first gala. My bosses took a chance on me and I'd like to say it paid off! I was quickly hired after my internship ended and worked my way up to Director of Events. 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.

Carried Away Florals & Events, LLC. was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, their communication was effective, kind, and quick - they were always responsive and made us feel like a priority. The quality of their work was simply beautiful and timeless, perfectly fitting the vision we had for our special day. On the day of the wedding, the Carried Away team arrived on time and worked seamlessly with our venue to bring our floral design to life. We were thrilled with the end result and received so many compliments from our guests on the stunning arrangements. I would highly recommend Carried Away Florals & Events to any couple planning their wedding.

We love working with smart, light hearted, fun, and easy going people. Searching out natural light wherever possible we take an energetic and vibrant approach to photography. We stay true to who we are by maintaining a creative vision throughout your wedding day.

Our wedding day was made special by so many vendors, but Wendy Hickok Photography pushed our wedding above and beyond our expectations. We used Wendy for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and in each case she was incredibly flexible and her work was amazing. She allowed us to postpone our engagement photos until the cherry blossoms were in full bloom in Washington, DC, which is very hard to plan for! She braved frigid temperatures with us that day, but our engagement photos turned out amazing! To plan for our wedding photos, she came to our vineyard venue a couple of weeks before the wedding to make sure she knew what we wanted in our pictures, and made sure to fully execute that dream the day of our wedding. To this day, I still get compliments on our wedding and engagement photos as they turned out beautifully. Without hesitation, I give Wendy Hickok Photography 5 stars, and I imagine we will be using her services for photographing other life events in the future.

Residing on a country road, nestled between Washington, DC and Annapolis, MD, I can't help but pinch myself daily that I get to do what I love for a living. When I'm not capturing the love stories of the awesome couples I get to work with, you can find me loving every minute of life with my bald-headed husband, our sweet baby girl, and our big-eared pup.

Long review coming, but I can't help myself. Erin was the best decision of my wedding! I cared about three things for my wedding, and photography was one of them. Finding a photographer was a daunting task since at the end of the day I knew I would leave with two things: my husband and my pictures. From the very beginning, Erin was a delight to work with. Photography, one of my top priorities, became my lowest stressor leading up to my wedding and the day of. Erin is a phenomenal communicator. She is clear, timely, and respectful. She asked about our photography desires, encouraged questions, and confirmed information to ensure that we achieved what we wanted. Erin always responded quickly which was so helpful when trying to coordinate everything needed for a wedding. The day of the wedding she and her second photographer, Monica (an absolute gem!!), were excellent communicators with all of the adults and children present when relaying what they wanted and needed us to do for photos. They helped with poses and gave amazing feedback (both positive and adjustments needed) throughout the day to help us feel comfortable and get good shots (neither my husband nor myself are natural at posing, but our photos turned out amazing)! Erin is calm, organized, and KIND (exactly what a couple needs during the planning process and on the wedding day)! Everything was clearly outlined prior to signing a contract. Once signing, you have a login to see all of your information in one place (contract, payments, questionnaire, etc.) which makes it so easy to keep track of everything related to our photography. As a Type A person, I so appreciated how clear and organized all of the information was. She has a second photographer included on the wedding day who helps keep track of the previously-determined photos (confirmed during a phone call) and ensures that everyone is in place so photos don't take a million hours. We were able to complete all pre- and post-ceremony pictures (we had a lot) in about an hour total for both. She was so sweet and made both of us feel unbelievably comfortable. She's someone you'll genuinely want to stay friends with after the wedding! Both Erin and Monica were so thorough and detailed. Not only did they review everything I didn't know I needed to think about prior to the wedding, but the day of the wedding they handled everything with such attention to detail that it completely removed all pressure from us and our families. Erin and Monica knew the photos we wanted and made sure to get all of them throughout the day. They constantly helped adjust my gown, veil, hair, and poses to ensure that not only the framing and lighting was perfect (which it was), but that there were no little details out of place that would drive OCD me crazy haha. They also brought tremendous equipment that allowed them to shoot multiple ways in multiple lighting scenarios. We were married in an old church, had a reception in a wood-paneled moody, dark room, and finished with photos at the Jefferson Memorial. Every single venue had perfectly lit photos. They both jumped around, walked up and down, switched out cameras, and straight up WORKED (at impeccable speed) to get us so many amazing angles and photos. On top of everything. Erin helped us create beautiful photo albums for us and our parents. To say Erin is worth the investment is the understatement of the century. We are forever grateful to her for capturing our important day!

I can feel the vibes and we need to calm you down! Honestly, Davey helped me through such a rough bit of time and was so patient with me! But like… let’s not forget the absolute SLAY he gave me!

Steel Toe Stiletto 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves West River, MD

Steel Toe Stiletto is a premium events band based in Greenville, SC. The band was formed from friendships between some of the southeast's most impressive vocalists and musicians. They knew that collectively, they had a lot to offer anyone looking for a modern, professional entertainment environment. They’re proud to call Greenville home, and love every opportunity they get to enhance their community by performing. You can find them playing your favorite music all over the southeast at charity galas, corporate parties, wedding receptions, and other celebratory events.

We booked Steel Toe Stiletto for our wedding after communicating with them via email, and we're so glad we did. Their sound and vibe were absolutely amazing - the introduction song was "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC, which set the perfect tone for the whole night. People are still talking about and asking us about our wedding celebration, and that is largely due to their incredible performance. They really knew how to get the party started and keep the energy high all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to make our wedding day so special and unforgettable.

Northern Lights Photography By Jamie Howarth

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves West River, MD

Your world collided with ours because you are marrying the love of your life and now you need someone to document it in a way that will last for generations to come! We want your timeless memories to be shown to kids, then grandkids, and their kids and so on! The family tree is growing and we love being a part of that! We are suckers for the groom's face when he first sees his bride, for the dads trying to hold back tears, for the moments that make the wedding day the best day ever!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer that will provide you with THE BEST magazine quality pictures, look no farther! After canceling our wedding 2 times due to Covid, Matt & I discussed the possibility of eloping to Jackson Hole, WY. I knew that Bob & Jamie have visited there enough to claim it as their 2nd home (lol) so I reached out for some advice/recommendations regarding the area & eloping. They not only offered a ton of knowledge about Jackson, they said they were available to travel and shoot our wedding. We booked them right away!!! They helped Matt & I EVERY step of the way. I said I wanted to be married inside in front of a large stone fireplace and have pictures taken outside with the snow covered mountains afterwards. They immediately went to work searching for hotels with stone fireplaces & locations (yes, multiple) for scenic wedding photos. Once those decisions were made, they helped select a restaurant for wedding dinner and plan our excursions. Bob even offered to be the tour guide for our snowmobile trip to Granite Hot Springs. These two went way above and beyond wedding photographers! Our wedding day was truly a dream come true (Hallmark movie worthy) and I can’t thank Jamie enough for capturing every part of it. She left no stone unturned. When we received the preview pics, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. The photos were even better than I had hoped. She made us look like we were on a magazine cover! Northern Lights Photography was part of what made our elopement special
