Ivy & Quartz Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (37 reviews)
Bethesda, MD
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,850

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Awarded Best of Zola
After friends shared a photo of my then fiance and me at their own wedding, we hired the photographer who took it. This was Nina! That one photo inspired us to review the gallery of their entire wedding and then her portfolio and we were blown away. 7 months later our own wedding day arrived. My husband and I are the type of people who are wildly present and constantly forget to take photographs of our life together. We knew we wanted to capture this day without the photography becoming a chore or hindering our ability to do what we do best and enjoy our time. Nina was able to provide just that and was incredible (as was the second photographer she worked with for our big day). Nina seamlessly handled all the chaotic moments and pre-ceremony stress of the very emotional bride (me) in stride! With very little direction she navigated all aspects of a wedding day with absolute poise and grace. I cannot thank her enough for taking on such leadership and just GETTING IT DONE! Nina captured all the big and tiny pieces that go into a wedding and I felt her photo choices, angles, and poses perfectly captured the essence of me and my husband's personalities. At every avenue Nina was a professional, personable, and I never expected I could be so satisfied with a collection of photographs. THANK YOU SO MUCH NINA.

Cloudfields Photography

I’m a Washington, DC–based portrait photographer, and weddings are among the assignments I cherish most. It’s a privilege to capture such a defining moment in a couple’s life with images that stand the test of time.

I genuinely can't say enough good things about François and the photos he took at our countryside wedding. From start to finish, he was so easy to work with: attentive, graceful, never intrusive. It really shows in the final album. He captured everything: the venue, the big moments, and portraits of guests from both sides of the family. What I love most about his portraits is that nobody looks stiff or posed. Somehow he manages to bring out each person's personality, which is such a rare thing. And the venue shots! He clearly had an eye for the light, catching it at that golden late-afternoon moment when everything just glows. There's so much happiness in these photos. I keep going back to the album, and every time it feels like reliving the day all over again. Couldn't recommend François more highly!

The Red Bandana Bakery was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Jaimie and her team were friendly, helpful, and completely accommodating throughout the entire process. From the initial tasting, which was a really special way to kick off our wedding planning, to their open communication with our venue on our behalf, they went above and beyond to make our day perfect.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was nervous about engagement photos, having only seen them online of people I didn't know. The posing and locations didn't feel like us so when we reached out to Twenty Seven Films we didn't expect much. Andrew was so personable and communicative, he managed to weasel out some of our favorite memories together and suggested a local historic town with candid photos. It was, in our opinion, an awesome opportunity and we had so much fun with it! So much so that we wanted him to assist with our wedding photos. Another successful bout of (maybe nontraditional) candid photos of the people we love. So incredibly grateful to have found them! The communication, respect, scheduling finesse, and handling of our precious moments was all top tier; the breakdown of pricing and optional features were honest and upfront. I never once doubted Andrew's ability or the company's reputation. While we don't want to have to pay for another wedding, would gladly hire them again.

Katy did an absolutely incredible job with our wedding florals. We provided her a few inspiration pictures of the look that we were going for and she took it from there and designed the arrangements to perfection. Katy was very flexible and easy to work with, even when we made some super last minute changes (to include the boutonnieres, which we had completely forgotten about until days before the wedding). On the wedding day, Katy stuck around hours after setting up the arrangements to make sure everything was perfect when our vendors flipped the room from the ceremony to reception. This speaks volumes to Katy's dedication to her clients. Thank you Katy!

Such a cute addition that the guests loved! We accompanied this audio-guestbook with custom playing cards for those who wanted to physically write us notes as well. It turned out absolutely perfect!

TCBeauty 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Bethesda, MD
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 10
  • Starts at $99 per person

The mastermind behind it all, Tani is the main point of contact for TCBeauty. She spent 6 years in the corporate world and has a MBA from University of MD. She was always fascinated with fashion & beauty. She decided to leave the corporate world and pursue beauty professionally. She works alongside her teammates doing beauty services but she also organizes weddings, manages client relations, marketing, and the day to day operations.

I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding in May 2019, and she contracted with TCBeauty for our hair. Two stylists came to the hotel where we were all getting ready (very early in the morning!), and they were kind, professional, and prompt! We all loved our hair (one bridesmaid even slept in her chic bun and wore it to work the next day!), so I knew exactly who to contact for my own wedding. I've only done a trial so far, but I appreciated how I could submit photos for inspiration ahead of time, and the pricing for wedding-day services was very reasonable for the DC area. During the trial, Angenae did my hair three different ways until I settled on what I liked, and we took photos. Tani was incredibly responsive about makeup and offered great feedback. She also started my makeup lighter and went darker until we found the perfect balance. Although I've had to postpone my August 2020 wedding until August 2021, Tani has been so accommodating. I'm looking forward to working with the TCBeauty team next year!

We had such a great experience with our photography and videography team! We worked with two photographers, Evelyn & Geneva, and one videographer, Bogdan. All three were incredibly professional, kind, and patient—especially when it came to wrangling our families for group shots. From the very beginning, the communication was thoughtful and organized. We had initial and week-of calls with Evelyn and Bogdan, which helped align our vision and made us feel confident going into the day. We sent Evelyn ideas and poses we liked beforehand, and she was able to recreate many of them throughout the day. Our photos are absolutely beautiful and we’re so excited to see our wedding video as well!!

​If someone asked me nicely to go dance my heart out in 90 degree heat, I would probably refuse. If someone tried to bribe me to get out on the floor in near tropical levels of humidity and sweltering, oppressive temperatures, it would take a hefty sum. And yet, twice now I have seen Jeremy get not just me, but over one hundred people to move our feet to the expertly curated beats and harmonies, ignoring the heat in what were inarguably the best dance parties I have had the joy of participating in. My wife discovered Jeremy after I struck out in my search to find adequate music for our wedding. After wading through a sea of ridiculous quotes, flaky DJ's, and logistical nightmares involving the transportation of bands, I gave up entirely. So when my wife explained that she had found a DJ with extremely reasonable rates and fantastic reviews, I was in disbelief. But then, she played for me a sample mix that Jeremy had put together for a HIIT class and it was pure musical magnificence. We hired him soon after. Jeremy was prompt and polite in communications, knowledgeable, unforgettably friendly, and above all else the master of the party's vibe. He managed to blend Beyonce with MGMT, he got my grandmother dancing to N'Sync, I can't overstate how much fun we had. When we remember our wedding with friends and families, the music is everyone's highlight. I cannot recommend Jeremy highly enough. - Nic My partner and I were looking for a DJ for our wedding. This was a new experience for me, but Jeremy made it incredibly easy. He was organized, incredibly friendly, and even provided a survey to better understand our music tastes as well as our vision for the event. At the wedding reception, he did such a fantastic job bringing the energy, masterfully transitioning between songs, and matching our music tastes. In an incredibly sweaty barn, he got the whole group jumping and singing and bopping around (the photos from that party are.. too wild to share). The following year, my sister and her fiance knew exactly who to call for their wedding. Highly recommend 10/10. - Sharon

Working out of Arlington, VA, the Coordinated Collective provides day-of coordination for couples who have otherwise organized their own wedding. Aiding couples in the District of Columbia, Eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, the women of this company have a wealth of knowledge and experience organizing weddings in all sorts of venues and design. Owned by Ja’el Mendez, this team of experts brings the final touch needed to make sure you get hitched without a glitch! The initial planning is done by the clients, meaning that couples choose their own vendors and have the freedom to design their own wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring The Coordinated Collective was by far the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Every single person we interacted with was incredible, starting with Ja’el the owner, who was amazing from start to finish. She is warm, organized, thoughtful, and we felt see was genuinely invested in us. From our first conversation, we knew we were in great hands. Our day-of coordinators, Liz and Blair, were absolute stars. They just got us. Throughout the planning process, they provided steady guidance, answered every question, and—when we had concerns about potential issues with other vendors—gave us thoughtful, grounded advice and real encouragement. As we approached the wedding, Liz and Blair stepped in to manage the scheduling of the countless moving parts of our wedding day. They helped address issues before they became problems, and resolved most problems before they became crises. Their communication and stress management were unparalleled. They kept us informed whenever we needed to know something and shielded us from anything we didn’t need to be bothered with. I referred back to Blair’s meticulously documented recap emails from our planning meetings so many times during planning - no idea how anything would have gotten done without those! We always felt like they were firmly on our team. Their presence throughout those final weeks kept us calm and confident… despite the best attempts of some of our vendors and family! And then the wedding day itself… flawless. Truly flawless. They executed the day with precision, grace, and warmth. They handled countless details behind the scenes so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our big day. At one point during dinner, I (the bride) leaned over to my mom to ask if she had floss because I had food stuck in my teeth, and before I could finish my sentence, Liz promptly whisked me away to a back room where I found myself suddenly in front of a mirror with a toothpick in hand! The level of support and preparation during the pre-wedding stages was above and beyond what we ever expected. Our families and friends are still raving about how fantastic they were on the day-of. We also decided to add on content creation with Teri late in the process, and we are SO glad we did. She was amazing—funny, kind, unobtrusive, and everywhere at once without ever feeling like a camera was in our faces. A couple of days after the wedding, we received our raw video dump, and it is worth every single penny. I’ve spent hours reliving the day through all the behind-the-scenes moments she captured with our guests, family, and wedding party. She didn’t miss a thing. We can’t wait to see the short-form content she creates, but honestly, the raw footage alone already exceeded our hopes. We are genuinely obsessed with this team. The Coordinated Collective is thoughtful, professional, communicative, creative, and deeply committed to making your wedding experience exceptional from beginning to end. If you’re considering hiring them, don’t hesitate for a second. They were truly the best decision we made, and we are endlessly grateful.

She also worked flawlessly with our wedding coordinator, which took so much stress off of us leading into our wedding day. The food, wine, and drinks were also delicious and extra points for their knowledge of hosting Jewish weddings with all of our traditions!

Manal and Mike did an absolute WONDERFUL job on our January wedding. They truly brought my vision to life, incorporating a garden style-esq look to our romantic, winter wedding. They were so personable each time we spoke, listened to my vision and executed. I went through several flower proposals before finding Tulip Decorations and I am so glad I listened to my gut. They were able to do exactly what I wanted within my budget and were so easy to work with. Would recommend them every time!!

@Filmbyxiao was absolutely amazing to work with! From start to finish, she made planning my surprise marriage proposal so easy and enjoyable. Her pricing was very reasonable, and she even offered helpful instructions that made my plan run perfectly. The photos turned out stunning she came prepared with creative poses and great ideas for locations and angles. She was incredibly fast with edits and delivered the finished photos in less than 24 hours! I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for beautiful, professional photos and an effortless experience. Added some examples of the ones we liked the best!!
