I'm getting married on June 4th (one week!). I've been SO lucky that my vendors have turned out to be AMAZING! I thought I'd write a quick note to recommend them to other brides who are just starting their planning...
Photographer: Gabe Aceves - not only does he take amazing photos (photodocumentary style), he is also extremely professional and super nice! We did an engagement photo session last month and he put us at ease right away. He was also amazing at finding cool shots and directiing us during the shoot. His prices are reasonable compared with other highly-skilled photograhers in the DC area. Website:

Lighting/Decor: Uplyte - I can't say enough about Uplyte. From the first meeting, they were able to take my ideas, combine them with their creative vision, and come out with an amazing decor plan! They are doing my up lights (which really make a difference in a room!), draping and decor. I couldn't be more thrilled to have them doing my wedding! They also bring a new look to the DC area that I haven't really seen here. Great prices and excellent customer service! Website:

Happy planning! I know it can be daunting to start the process, so hope the recommendations help...
