We had a great experience working with Poppy Flowers for our wedding. Their process was super straightforward, and their website made everything easy to plan. We met with Adrienne, who clearly explained how everything would work, and their on-site team did an amazing job bringing it all to life on the day. We sent just a few inspiration photos, and they customized all the arrangements. We were especially happy with the bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, the ceremony centerpiece clouds, the table arrangements, and the elegant single-flower vases scattered throughout. Everything looked incredible at a great price. We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out.

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

Wow can’t say enough amazing things about this photographer, he truly was one of the highlights of our wedding. Don’t walk to book him run! He was super focused, detail orientated, bilingual, fun and laid back. He captured so many incredible behind the scene moments and my family kept saying we didn’t even see him take that picture. We were nervous about not knowing how to pose. He made us so comfortable and had amazing poses. He captured intimate moments of our families reactions during the ceremony, speeches and partying. He helped the day flow so well and we couldn’t believe how amazing the pictures were. The turn around time for the pictures was also super fast. We had a bad experience with a photographer prior who ended up being a scammer and he truly saved our wedding day!! Thank you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a wonderful experience with Sharon Natoli as our wedding photographer. She is extremely talented and brought her extensive photojournalism experience, professionalism, and positive energy to capture our wedding day. She handled a rainy outdoor ceremony situation with ease, taking the weather as an opportunity for some unique and memorable shots. She also stuck with us after the reception as the sun came out to catch some incredible light soaked moments. Throughout the day, she was amazing with our guests, keeping things moving swiftly so folks didn't get too cold, and helping some of the more camera-shy (including me, the bride) feel at ease. I love that she took the time to meet with us beforehand and get to know us, learn more about our family and guests, understand our style preferences, as well as offer some expert advice on how the day could go. She also walked us through the final photos and gave us some behind the scenes technical insight which was a really nice way to revisit the day. It's clear she is passionate about photography and loves what she does. Her enthusiasm is contagious and we're so glad she was the one to photograph our day. We are absolutely thrilled with our photos and highly recommend Sharon Natoli to any DC/Maryland area couples!

She answered countless questions and coordinated seamlessly with us and our other vendors. When the day of the wedding came, she was on time, kept to the schedule, and was just fun to be around. Many of the members of our wedding party told us how much they liked Aimee and her assistant. During the actual party, they blended in so much that I honestly forgot they were there!

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Stefan ten stars, I would. Working with him was an incredible experience from start to finish. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and for the former he traveled to New York so we could do the shoot at a location that has a great deal of meaning to us. My husband and I are not people who are usually comfortable in front of a camera, but Stefan goes above and beyond to make sure he is prepared and that you are prepared to have the best shoot possible. He has detailed guides for both engagement and wedding shoots, which were incredibly helpful. He also meets with you to discuss your goals for the shoot, get to know who you are as a couple, and understand the vibe you are going for. Our engagement shoot was on a cold and windy day in a location unfamiliar to him and he did research, arrived early, and knocked it out of the park. For our wedding day, the timeline went exactly to plan and any stress or nerves I was feeling completely melted away because we already knew Stefan was on top of it, knew what we wanted from the day, and that we had a rapport going between us. On our wedding day, our friends and family absolutely gushed about Stefan and how great he is. I can't tell you how many times someone came up to me and said, "Who is your photographer? He is AWESOME." Stefan's style is authentic and he is incredibly skilled. The photos are breathtaking without seeming unnatural or overworked. He is great at capturing your vibe as a couple and making sure that comes through in the photos. He is so easy to get along with and can make even the least photogenic among us (pointing at myself here) comfortable in front of the camera. He is a great photographer and an even more delightful human being and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.

Quick to respond, flexible, personable, with outstanding vocals, musicians and leadership, your party will be the one to beat. 24k is a premium experience from the first call to the very end. It is our goal to make certain we meet your expectations and will work with you to create your vision in every way. I couldn't be more proud to share this band with the DMV, and I know you will be as thrilled as I am, from the first organizing steps to the last note! Recent news: 24k is proud to have been chosen as the entertainment for the National Women's Art Museum in October!

The energy, showmanship, hype, and FUN that 24K Event Band brought to our wedding reception was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I can't even count how many guests have told us, weeks and months after our wedding, how incredible they were. Our dance floor was packed all night long, and when the band was on their (well-deserved) break, Korey stayed out and led the crowd in the Cupid Shuffle!! When I think about what made our wedding day so special, I think about 24K. Maybe I'm still riding the wave of emotions that comes with planning a wedding, but I could cry thinking about how joyful our reception was because of 24K's musical magic. Each and every member of the band was kind, friendly, and excited to be there, which created an energy that circulated throughout the room. We cannot thank 24K enough for all that they did for us. Please, please hire them if you want to have the wedding of your dreams!

Hey I’m Mark! A photographer and videographer based in Washington, DC, originally from sunny central Florida. I’ve been honored to have my personal creative work featured in Stencil Magazine and The Phoblographer. With experience ranging from Disney’s Photopass program to weddings, events, and even automotive photography, I bring a diverse skill set to every shoot. My passion for capturing moments and my technical expertise in both photography and videography ensure that each session is tailored to create timeless, captivating imagery.

We found "Mark Joven Photography" through my fiancé who worked with him before during group trips with his friends. I really liked the photos he took we booked him for our engagement photos and he did NOT disappoint at ALL! He brought two assists with him and spent 2 days taking photos for us at multiple locations of our choosing! Mark was very professional and made each day go by seamlessly! We hung out like old friends and made a day of Magic Kingdom after taking our photos at our favorite places in the park! We got all our shots back within a week of taking them and they were all so beautiful I cried! They are some of the best pictures I’ve ever had! We decided to hire him for our wedding as a videographer and backup photographer should we need him! Also his prices are SUPER reasonable and affordable! If you’re looking to book him I wouldn’t hesitate! I’m pretty sure we’re gonna use him for future milestones! Mark is definitely a 10/10 and as a former photographer myself I am VERY picky when it comes to my photography so I can say I don’t say 10/10 unless i truly mean it!!
