“I recently had the pleasure of working with Kellie, who truly went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was a master of her work and had a genuine passion for creating memorable experiences and we HAD to work with her. During the planning stages, Kellie's attentiveness and helpfulness were outstanding. She regularly checked in with us to ensure that all the details were in place and that our vision for the wedding was being brought to life. Kellie provided us with an abundance of planning resources, from vendor recommendations to an incredible Excel doc with every planning resource you could need (we’re talking budget sheets, guest list tracker, packing lists, day-of timelines, etc), which made the entire process much smoother and less stressful. For every question or concern I had, Kellie had an answer. On the day of the wedding, I am speechless for how smoothly Kellie ran the show. From start to finish, her ability to juggle multiple tasks (and people) while remaining calm and composed was truly remarkable. We were able to relax and enjoy our day knowing that Kellie had everything under control. What struck us the most about Kellie was her kind and caring nature. She genuinely cared about us as a couple and went absolutely above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. She took the time to understand our vision and priorities, and her dedication to making our dreams come true was evident in every aspect of the wedding. Her attention to detail, organization, and professionalism were second to none. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that every element of the wedding was executed flawlessly. We cannot express enough gratitude to Kellie for her invaluable contributions to our special day. Without her expertise and dedication, our wedding would not have been the incredible event that it was. Kellie is truly one of a kind, and her passion for creating unforgettable experiences shines through in everything she does. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make their dreams come true!”

For 20 years I’ve had the privilege of documenting love stories in more than ten countries, capturing weddings rich with emotion and once-in-a-lifetime moments. I’m now happily settled in Williamsburg and throughout Central Virginia, where I balance my passion for photography with life as a proud mom to my feisty young daughter. Weddings still light me up the same way they did on day one—the passion, the quiet, sweet glances, the joyful chaos on the dance floor, the deep, unspoken connection between two people promising forever.

“Summer is the absolutely best wedding photographer.....you can not go wrong! We had a desination wedding in the Bahamas and all the pictures were breathtaking. I am not photogenic but she made me look like a model! People could not stop talking about how gorgeous our pictures were.”

Darling and Dapper Studio

Rating: 4.9 (104 reviews)

“As the bride, I wanted to capture the fleeting, unforgettable moments of our big day (while looking my absolute best) as I’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation for an incredibly talented hair and makeup studio from a family member who used Darling and Dapper for her wedding in October of 2024. After reading the different artist descriptions on the Darling and Dapper website, I knew Taylor Shira and Carolina Updegraff were going to be a perfect fit for what I was looking for on the day of the wedding! Taylor and Carolina exceeded my every expectation! What struck me most about Taylor was her ability to help create a calm, inviting atmosphere on the day of the wedding. She is such a sweet, energetic person with such a positive personality to boot. What struck me most about Carolina was her ability to recreate the exact makeup look from any inspiration picture you show her. She is such a sweet, warm person and she and Taylor are the exact kind of people you want to spend time with on what is typically a very overwhelming day! Their attention to detail and artistic eyes brought out the true beauty in myself and all my bridesmaids. I truly have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day thanks to Taylor and Carolina. Taylor and Carolina are not only a master with any hair or makeup style you throw at them, but they are also true professionals. We chose to get ready in the bridal suite of our hotel and they both arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel truly at ease throughout the whole day! Their level of communication is impeccable as they were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) and truly listen to what you were hoping to achieve with your look, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. With our wedding being an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia, I was slightly nervous that my makeup was going to be ruined before we even made it to cocktail hour, but Carolina worked tirelessly to support my dream of having my desired look (and boy did she succeed)! Taylor worked tirelessly (up until I left the building to walk down the aisle) to support my dream of having cascading curls down my back and cascade (and last) they did! My six bridesmaids all chose different hair and makeup inspirations and were all extremely pleased with their work. Working with Taylor and Carolina has been an absolute pleasure from my bridal hair trial session to the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of bridal hair and makeup! I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary hair and makeup and an unforgettable wedding day! - Mrs. Canavos”

“DJ Karizma did an amazing job MCing our wedding. We really started with nothing to give him, but his experience lead us in the direction of music genres we liked and really gave us inspiration. He also had some fun bride/groom games he suggested we could do, and really knows how to read the guests we had. He was very interactive and responsive with us before and during the event. His energy and enthusiasm for our special day kept the party rolling and always had people wanting to keep dancing throughout the night. The price was very good, compared to other prices we got quoted for. A 10/10 DJ and would suggest to anybody looking for an experienced/interactive/and responsive DJ.”

“LOOK NO FURTHER, CHRISTINE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I feel so lucky to have found Christine for my wedding makeup because she was everything I was looking for and more! I did a makeup trial with someone else that went terribly and was scrambling to find a new makeup artist less than two months before my wedding. I am truly so grateful I found Christine. Her talent speaks for itself, just check out her Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/christinecouturecormier/). I had my first video consultation with Christine the day after I found her, and we discussed what went wrong with the first person and what I was hoping to achieve for my wedding day look. Not only was it clear that she knew what I was looking for, but she also had amazing ideas about the entire makeup experience on my wedding day that I hadn’t even thought of. Your makeup artist is SO important because you’ll have these photos forever and they’re the first vendor you interact with so they help set the mood for the day. Christine was an incredible presence the whole time she was there. She and the second makeup artist Lindsey made me and my entire bridal party look and feel amazing! Christine made incredible content with me and my bridal party and she was also there for my first look. She was the perfect calming presence I needed for the most exciting but stressful moment of the day. She helped fluff my dress and took photos and videos I was able to have immediately after the first look. You want to feel confident that your makeup artist is going to make you look and feel amazing, and I promise you can trust Christine with that! My guests were raving about my makeup! I felt done up and more special than my everyday makeup, but I still felt and looked like myself. Also the makeup lasted all night long! She is worth every single penny!! If you pick Christine to be your makeup artist you will not regret it!”

“Cedrian was AMAZING to work with! I loved the whole process with her. From the trial to giving me my little goodie bag for touch ups she was an absolute gem to work with. One of the biggest things that I think is needed for brides (especially us Type A's) is communication and listening. We need someone who is pleasant to work with but knows that ultimately the job needs to get done. THAT was a big thing for me when it came to Cedrian that I LOVED. During the trial, I gave inspo pics and then we built on that. And I'm telling you that when I wanted a little more shadow or a little more contour, she did it ONE time and it was exactly what I wanted. Another thing that I loved about her is that she loves what she does! You can tell in her work, the way she has told stories of past brides..it just exudes from her! For me, that is someone I wanted on my team for the wedding day. Your wedding day is supposed to be filled with love and happiness and fun! Get Cedrian as your artist! I'm telling you. Throughout my process of picking vendors, I am a research queen. I check the reviews, and I read all the reviews. Cedrian is EVERYTHING her brides have said. I am SO happy to have found her. Thank you for everything Cedrian!”

“From start to finish, our experience with the Gala was incredible. In a competitive and expensive industry, the Gala 417 stands alone in its food quality, lovable staff, and dedication to its clients. During our planning process, the Gala staff was responsive and courteous even when we had some off the wall ideas. They love to support creative visions and help you make your vision come to life. Early on, we picked up on how comfortable our vendors were to work with the Gala team, which is a testament to their ability to work as a team to accomplish their clients wedding wishes. Weeks after our wedding, we continue to receive messages from friends and family who rave about the venue, food and drink, and staff. We would book again with the Gala 10 out of 10 times, it was one of the first and best decisions my husband and I made.”
