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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Laura is such an excellent photographer. She listened to what we wanted to do, made sure she caught all of the moments I wanted and a bunch I never even thought I needed. She's also just such a joy, her energy makes any room more positive.

From the start, they were professional, easy to communicate with, quickly responsive to emails, and eager to get started planning our wedding!! We met a few months prior to the wedding at the venue to see the space and talk all things details. Leading up to the wedding, they were on the ball with everything and double checking in on things that I wasn't thinking of or had over looked, etc. They communicated with all the vendors on our behalf and made sure everyone was on the same page with details, timing, etc. They are both so sweet and genuinely nice people and it was awesome to have them there for the rehearsal and the wedding day!!

Let's be real. Weddings are wonderful and powerful and amazing days, but they're also big balls of stress. The best advice I ever received was from a friend who said, "find the photographer who can capture the amazing intimate moments, but also the person who you'd want to be a fly on the wall for them." After all, you spend about as much time with your wedding photographer as you do with your new spouse. Bethany was perfect for us. She captured engagement photos so stunning, so authentic, that I wish we could get a new set every year for our family. She captured perfect (occasionally hilarious) moments at the wedding that I would have completely missed otherwise - the way a friend helped you relax by pressing down on your shoulders as you got ready, the way your cousins looked at each other during a wedding toast, the way the cabin looked, it was perfect. And she created an amazing, dramatic photo that took full advantage of the rainy weekend. She's also just fun to be with; despite the stress around us, she was ready with a little joke that helped put us at ease. I think she's one of the only photographers who really got "me" in photos - not the person I try to be, or the awkward person who is trying to smile in the photos, but the person I am. I couldn't recommend her more.

I cannot recommend O’real Bakery enough and plan to every time I get the chance. For our tasting the owner Moyofore met me at a location with the most beautifully packaged boxes to open at home so our family could taste with us. Choosing was so very difficult! I think I will need to order the coconut cake separately for a different occasion because it was our second runner up choice. The day-of cake was delivered on time, set up beautifully for our outdoor event with a protective cover that didn’t distract from its beauty, and wow was it stunningly decorated. Perfection. The best part was eating it OMG. My guests were raving!! Not one leftover slice…except for the top of the cake which we will save for our anniversary. Thank you so much for what truly was a delicious highlight of our special day!

My journey into the wedding industry may be unconventional, but it has given me the skills and expertise to execute flawless events with ease. I started my career as a civil engineer, managing large-scale projects where problem-solving, attention to detail, and seamless coordination were essential. While I loved the technical side of it, what truly excited me was bringing a vision to life—orchestrating every moving piece to ensure a successful outcome. Now, I’ve combined my love for organization and creativity into wedding coordination and event planning, where I help couples turn their dream weddings into reality.

Exactly one week ago, I married the love of my life. I could not have managed the stress of planning a wedding without the grace of God and EventBay, LLC. From consultation to day of, Bashan McLeod (owner) exuded professionalism, profoundness and poise. Her skillset, knowledge and expertise of wedding planning and event planning provided a sense of ease and allowed me to focus on the only important thing…marrying my husband. Lol. I retained the Day of Coordinator service from EventBay, LLC. and the Event Agenda a la cart service to make my big day manageable. Bashan went above and beyond, she always did a monthly check up on me to see how I was doing before her services started. And when the 30 days out started, this business owner was on it! She also recommended vendors when my now husband and I were stuck and could not find a DJ. My entire wedding party was in awe of the seamless transitions between timeline tasks and how Bashan and her team got us together. I am so very grateful to have found EventBay, LLC. I literally had no clue what I was doing. Bashan was clear and concise, personable, and fancy. I would definitely utilize EventBay, LLC.’s services again in the future for any event.

Your wedding is one of the most meaningful days of your life and your florals shouldn’t be an afterthought or feel like copy + paste from other weddings you’ve been to. This is most likely the most you will ever spend on flowers. It’s important to get them just right. You’re working so hard to create a wedding day that is a reflection of what is most important to the two of you and who you are. Why should your flowers be any different? I design arrangements that reflect your vision and respect your budget.

Lindsey was the best to work with. I had only a very basic idea of what we wanted for florals and Lindsey helped to take that and turn it into the beautiful pieces we had at our wedding! Super easy to work with, really friendly and lovely, and a very reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend her!

I’ll preface by saying this is my second marriage and can compare my experience with to my first wedding. Catering By Uptown was fantastic from the beginning. They have excellent responsiveness, attention to detail and the food is amazing. Everything we wanted on our wedding day was accomplished. The only slight frustration I experienced was not having contact with our specific day of coordinator until the week of the wedding. But that didn’t even end up being an issue because, as I mentioned, everything was perfect. They’re so flexible and easy to work with. Though I wasn’t communicating with the same person every time I had questions, their internal communication was so strong and efficient that it seemed like I was talking the the same person. I can’t recommend them enough.

Hi, I’m Yelitza (Je-lit-sa ... don't worry! I got you). I’m a photographer, wife, nurse, fur-mom of three, new avid hiker, and a pretty darn good baker; and I’m here (dramatic pause) to tell your story. I found photography my freshman year of high school (I needed some credits in a pinch and this was it), three days in class and I was in love. Fast forward a few year (hey! hey! not too many years... 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.

Unique perspective, your satisfaction, and fun. Isn't that what its all about? I am an extrovert and love meeting new people and making friends. The best photos come out when you are relaxed and being yourself. An exceptional photographer, with great photoshop skills. I can make you look like sitting on Mars if thats what you want...haha Seriously, I can create your photos for the look you want, the colors, the light, the smile, the effort it takes to satisfy you and make you love what you are investing your time and money in. Lets talk and get what you want for the best of time for you and me. Lets have fun while doing it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Salman was impressively professional from what I have dealt with in the past. He made artistic suggestions and made me feel easy for natural portraits. He is creative and will go above and beyond to meet requirements and vision. I was very satisfied with the results and more than impressed with his post-processing skills in comparison to the original. I will hire him for my next photo shoot and have recommended him and his competitive skills to other friends.
