This man is magic. Alex was extremely patient with me during the entire planning process knowing it’s very overwhelming trying to narrow down songs to specific moments. Especially when both me and my husband love all different types of music. He communicated clearly with what we needed to select throughout the day, and anything we hadn’t decided on he understood what vibe was and nailed it. Everyone was on the dance floor from the moment formalities ended to the last song of the night (Cinema by Skrillex of course). I asked for a party and Alex delivered exactly that (& better)! Our friends and family still talk about "how great the DJ was". Trusting Alex with such an important part of the day we did not take lightly and he absolutely exceeded expectations. Our wedding felt like something out of a movie, we couldn’t ask for a better party.

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.

Christa Rae Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Shady Side, MD

I am a full time award winning professional photographer born and raised in the Annapolis area. I photograph just 30 weddings per year, and I have photographed over 300 weddings in my 11 year career as a wedding photographer. I am truly passionate about creating images that my couples will love and have to look back on years and years from now and to share with future generations. I strive to be best friends and fierce cheerleaders of my couples, because you should not only love the photos your photographer produces, but also love the person behind the camera.

Christa delivered us everything we wanted and more! From the start, Christa was organized and communicative about everything. We got to know her during our Engagment photo shoot and were excited to work with her then and at the wedding. She helped us figure out our day of timeline and how photos would fit into it since we were planning on doing a first look and knocking out ALL of the immediate family portraits out of the way… and there were 140 photo combinations we wanted due to us both having 3 siblings each and divorced parents. Christa and her second photographer captured these photos ALL before the ceremony even started - plus a few additional photos we love but didn’t initially have on our shot list. We picked Christa based on her style and editing and we are more than pleased with the products. We have gotten back our full gallery and there are SO many photos - it’s going to be very difficult picking our favorites to hang around the house without overwhelming the walls . All of our friends and family love the photos so much and have even asked who our photographer was. We will always recommend Christa!

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 am a mobile makeup artist based out of Annapolis, MD. I have 6+ years of experience and specialize in bridal makeup. I also have my license in Esthetics and I am always continuing my education for makeup. My goal is to always make you feel your most confident before leaving my chair!

Lauren did an amazing job as the sole makeup artist for my wedding day. She did my makeup as well as 8 others and executed all the looks perfectly! I did a trial with Lauren a few months before my wedding which was really nice to go over all the options and discuss the look I was going for. Closer to the wedding day, I decided I wanted to change up the eye makeup palette for the wedding. I reached out to Lauren letting her know and sent her and inspiration pic. She was so supportive of the change and on the day of she CRUSHED IT. The execution truly exceeded my expectations. Another important callout is the makeup lasted all night: through the ceremony, reception, dancing, sweating, and the after-party! I had a friend comment at 1 am (12 hours after the makeup was applied) saying how it still looked perfect. I'm not sure I can praise Lauren enough. I felt so beautiful, yet still felt like myself. Even months after the wedding looking at my makeup, I have no regrets. Thank you Lauren for making me feel so beautiful!

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 florist for a wedding I coordinated recently and was wonderful to work with! She's very kind and was a great addition to the couple's wedding day team!! She really got the vibe the bride was looking for and the flowers looked amazing!

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.

I've worked with this photographer a few times and each time it has been like a fairy-tale shoot. An ordinary couple, set in a scene to make heads turn as they walk by. It's truly a magical experience. And then getting the pictures back is a whole set of feelings. My shoots have been with my boyfriend and with each picture I recieved back, you could truly see the love and energy captured in time. Forever cherished memories.

Our personalized full-service wedding company offers bespoke planning, exquisite florals, sophisticated design, curated rentals, and professional beauty services, ensuring your special day is as unique and beautiful as your love story.

Arrow Bella Weddings literally is the reason my wedding was successful and the best night of my life. I could NOT have had this wedding without them. I hired them for hair & makeup, florals, design and planning. I never looked prettier thanks to Katie & Jordan. My bridesmaids say that it is the best hair and makeup they have ever received (some better than their own wedding). April with florals were out of the world amazing. And Taylor hands down took care of EVERYTHING. There were soooo many things that went wrong the week of (people cancelling, people showing up randomly, etc.) and she took care of EVERYTHING with such grace. You are making the best decision by hiring them.

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.
