And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

Your wedding day should feel like you, relaxed and joyful, surrounded by the people you love most. It’s about real moments, laughter, happy tears, and the quiet in between times that make the day truly yours. I take a documentary style approach to capture those moments as they happen, so you don’t feel like your day is just a checklist. I step in when needed, like for family formals, but mostly focus on letting you enjoy your day while those candid moments unfold naturally.

Emie did such a wonderful job with our photos! She was a joy to have at our wedding; she did not add any stress to the day, if anything she alleviated some of it. I had total confidence in her ability. She was very attentive to the details and type of photography I wanted. I would recommend her highly to anyone in need of a photographer!

Little Acorn Events Co

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Forest, VA

Little Acorn Events Co is a full service wedding planning, design, & production company based in Charlottesville, Virginia. We specialize in curating meaningful celebrations & distinctive guest experiences, steeped in beautiful design. Your engagement is a special and finite experience, culminating in a celebration with those you love. It is our true privilege to plan & produce luxurious wedding designs abundant with intentional touches & thoughtful details for a distinctive guest experience. Telling your love story through creative design begins with mindful relationships with our couples & a dedication to your wedding like no other.

Working with Mia and Little Acorn Events was the best decision we made during our planning process, hands down. After a very rocky start to our planning process with another wedding planner, we were extremely skittish to hire another planner, but after our first call with Mia, her genuine care for her couples and belief that everyone deserves a joyful and low-stress engagement came through so clearly. Mia has the lovely combination of being immensely capable and a delight to spend time with, which is important when you are deciding someone you will spend so much time working with and who will be by your side on your wedding day. We sincerely looked forward to our calls and meetings with Mia, and having her calm and joyful presence by our side on our day was a gift. Mia's hard work and kind personality mean that she has an amazing reputation with local vendors. Having that history of trust and good will as the basis for our relationship with the vendors meant we got to work with the very best local vendors who were excited to be a part of the team. We had some big life changes happen during our wedding planning season and Mia was understanding, flexible, and allowed us to focus on the fun parts of planning while taking the most stressful parts off of our plate. She took our day seriously and treated it with the utmost care, while seeing the big picture of life and not feeding into the wedding industrial complex :) One of the best parts of working with Mia is her intentionality in creating moments throughout the day where you and your partner get to soak in the moment and be present. We had seen her calm confidence and skill throughout the planning process, and so had the trust established to simply be able to relax, enjoy the moment, and take it all in when the day came. And isn't that what it's all about?

  • Serves Forest, VA

Hi, I'm Liz! I'm based in Lynchburg, VA. I moved here from Los Angeles where I studied Fashion Design and Merchandising. Photography has been a huge passion of mine since I was in middle school but one class in college that really sparked my interest again. When the Pandemic hit, I was 6 months pregnant and starting to realize that I didn't enjoy my job anymore. I was so tired of working 50-60 hours a week and realized the most important thing to me was to be there to raise my child. So, that was that and here I am.

Working with Rustic Rose Photography was the best experience! She completed both engagement and wedding pictures for us. I am not someone who loves to be in front of a camera, but Liz uses really natural prompts to make you feel like yourself and feel good. At my wedding, she was really supportive and even checked in with me to see if I needed water or food. She’s always prompt and fun to work with. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made when wedding planning. I can’t wait to scheduled more sessions with her in the future because she has a way of capturing the warmth of a moment in such a special way.

Tori Parker Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Forest, VA

Although Tori lives on the east coast, her art & lifestyle is largely inspired by the west coast. Tori grew up just outside Los Angeles and her art reflects the airy, relaxed and purposeful atmosphere that exists in the Golden State. The Tori Parker team intends for their photos to reflect a similar air: relaxed but with a powerful undertone of golden hour hues and genuine joy. When Tori isn't taking photos or managing her amazing team of associate photoghers, she enjoys intentional time with Jesus, watching New Girl with her husband, being outdoors with her dogs, and eating the spiciest thing on the menu.

We immediately knew we were going to book Tori when she sent us a reply from our inquiry. She was so down to earth and genuine compared to the other vendors we had communicated with beforehand. She was able to fit an engagement shoot into a very small window of time we had that spring. She was a LIFE SAVER on our wedding day. A lot of things were not going to plan but Tori made sure my husband and I were having a good time and laughing throughout the day. Tori and her team know how to make sure the bride is prioritized and moments are captured. My favorite picture Tori took is when my husband and I were snuggling in a blanket during the reception because it was so cold. We weren’t posing or even aware she was there. She captured the small moments as well as the big ones during our day. We’ve gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the photos turned out even when it rained and there was so much going on. Tori’s photos captured our love so well. We can’t recommend her and her team enough. We love you Tori- CC

My photography journey started in high school, photographing church and community events. From there it was natural transition to begin offering photo sessions to my friends and family, and so Joy Shots was born in 2014.I was privileged to shoot my first wedding for a friend in 2015 and I have since had the honor to photograph over 50 weddings. I love the chances I have to work with couples from their initial engagement session through their wedding day, through capturing their growing families down through the years. To me the people I get to connect with year after year with Joy Shots are more than customers, they are a part of a family.

We were thrilled with Erika and Joy Shots Photography! Erika's communication was clear, vibrant, and quick - she always responded promptly to any questions we had leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Erika was professional, fun, and respectful. She made sure to capture all the special moments while keeping things light and moving smoothly. Erika was often there when we couldn't find our planner, stepping in to keep things on track. She really went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect and we got amazing photos to remember it by. The quality of Erika's work shows through in the vibrant, joyful photos she captured. She helped me with my veil and bustling my dress multiple times. She had my change of shoes when my feet began to hurt! She even let me borrow sunglasses for some super fun pics. We'd HIGHLY recommend Joy Shots Photography for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to beautifully photograph their special memories.

Hi! We're Kiersten and Enrique, the faces behind Kanded! Our vibe summed up in three words: Creative, Inclusive, Emotive. Since childhood, we've both had a strong love for art. Enrique's small town upbringing and love for writing infuses our images with warmth and nostalgia. Kiersten's passion for photography started as a young child on her Polaroid where she began her creative visual storytelling. When we're not creating, you'll find us on the hunt for vintage treasures, sinking our toes into the sand (and missing our beloved cats), or enjoying quality time at home with our three adorable fur babies: Ellie, Lola, and Jax.

The Kanded Photography Team is just awesome. They are so fun to be around. The recently shot a wedding at my venue and the pictures were AMAZING! They have an awesome eye for capturing unique photos that aren’t “cookie cutter.” They not only made the couple look amazing, but captured the beauty of our venue perfectly.

Hello!

I live to be the wallflower witnessing & capturing these moments. It is such an honor that I look forward to every weekend.

From the moment we booked Golden Gower Photography, the communication and planning process was seamless. We chatted about the big day in length, and the photographer knew exactly what I wanted because she asked all the right questions. On the wedding day, she blew me out of the water with the results - the photos are truly top-notch.

Whether she is styling you for your engagement session or for the big day itself, she strives to create long-lasting and high-quality looks and bring your wedding vision to life.

I feel so grateful to have had Alissa as the makeup artist for my wedding day! She was so easy to talk with and made me look and feel my absolute best. She is so attentive to detail, even making subtle changes on the day-of to improve the final look! Not only was I thrilled with my makeup, but it didn’t budge all night. Even after we ran around in the pouring rain for over an hour on our wedding day, my makeup still looked incredible at the end of the night. I really can’t recommend Alissa enough!
