Moments for Life Visuals LLC

Newport News, VA
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $1,600

Hey there! You can call us JP and Bry. Our journey from to professional videography began with a simple joy: reliving our own moments together on video. Now, we're committed to preserving your special memories with that same passion and care. ​We’re based in the Hampton Roads, VA area and are willing to travel!

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with Bryauna and Jamar at Moments for Life Visuals. From booking our initial consultation to giving updates on wedding timelines to following up post wedding, they were responsive and easy to get in touch with. Jamar showed up right on time on our wedding day and we felt really comfortable with him around. He managed to capture the entire vibe of the day from the big moments to the little details. We were really on the fence about whether or not the cost of a videographer would be worth it since we already booked a photographer. Moments for Life had packages that fit with our budget and we’re so glad we booked them. Photos are great, but the videos we got are so full of life and are truly magical. If you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer - DO IT! We also really appreciated that Moments for Life gave us the raw footage of our ceremony, reception speeches, dancing, and cake cutting.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first contacted In Bloom, the team was extremely detailed, clear, and helpful in guiding us through the flower selections for our wedding day. We had a hard time finding a florist as we had a smaller wedding and so many florists had a large minimum spend so I was thrilled when we found Shelly. She provided excellent suggestions that captured the romantic, lush aesthetic we were going for, all while keeping our budget in mind. The end result was beautiful, with flowers that were both stunning and cost-effective. We were especially impressed by how they helped us repurpose some of the ceremony arrangements for our reception. They truly went above and beyond to make our special day even more beautiful and memorable.

Elizabeth Yanna Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Newport News, VA

Hey there! I am Elizabeth, the owner & head photographer of Elizabeth Yanna Photography. I am a couples photographer located out of Coastal Virginia, but I am always up for adventure and travel to wherever your love grows. My editing style is considered "warm and moody" with a photojournalistic twist. You can expect prompts over poses and lots of movement and interaction with your partner, instead of stiff posing and "eye contact" with the camera. I have often been told that I have a way with working quietly and quickly, as to not distract the spotlight of your day from... well, YOU!

I was so excited to finally work with Elizabeth! We go way back our pictures turned out so incredible. We can’t stop obsessing over them! Elizabeth is very thorough during the meetings to make sure every shot you want is accounted for and everything stays on schedule! I look forward to working with her for a boudoir and/or maternity session!

As I write this review, I am reminded of all of the stressful thoughts a bride goes through as she plans her big day with the love of her life, and then I remember how great it was that I found the best location and person to work with to coordinate our big day! Ruthanne and her entire event staff at Kiln Creek Golf Club & Resort deserve all of the love and recognition for helping to orchestrate a seamless event from start to finish. I was unfamiliar with venues in this area, and my now husband and I searched from the Outer Banks to Newport News to find something that fit our vision and price point, and Kiln Creek did all of that. For both of us, it was important that the venue gave us that "This is it" feeling! All of the venues we looked at in Suffolk, Norfolk, and VA Beach were just missing something. Then Kiln Creek Golf Club & Resort popped up on my searches and I am sure glad it did! Ruthanne went out of her way to make sure all of my questions were answered and that she saw my vision properly for the big day. That is what was so amazing, that she puts every bride’s vision as a huge priority and she was there to make sure we set up times to meet to go over everything in fine detail. She even added extra special touches because she wanted to, and they were perfect. We stayed at the Lodge, ate at the Nest for dinner one evening prior to the event as well as breakfast the day after the wedding, and the rooms were spacious, beds comfortable and food was delicious! Shout out to Jordan, Christine, Crystal and all of the other amazing servers and staff on location! My husband and I had the most amazing day of our lives! All thanks to Ruthanne and her amazing team, from the chef, to the recommended vendors, who were equally awesome, for seeing my vision and making sure everything came together, perfectly! Thank you, Ruthanne and all of the staff at Kiln Creek!

So what VWC does is they pair you with a photographer that they think will fit you and your style the best and let me just say, they knocked it out of the park. Ashley and (both!) Brianna’s were amazing, they made our day so fun and special! Their attitude and outgoing personalities were so fun to have on our day, they made us feel so comfortable and at ease with the amount of pictures we were taking! All my family and guests were raving about how much fun they were and how at ease they made everyone feel, and just how much they could tell they loved being a part of our day! As for the owners, Ashley & Luke, they very clearly love what they do and respect their customers. We had a bit of a snaffu early in our wedding planning process and they took care of it in such a professional and apologetic manner that my husband and I felt comfortable that we still would have them capture our wedding day. Honestly, their entire team was wonderful to work with and our sneak peeks are just absolutely amazing and iI truly cannot wait to see the rest of our album!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

Being new to the Virginia wedding scene, I'm excited to connect with local couples to create timeless imagery that celebrates the area but most importantly, your love story. I take great care in capturing every moment as it naturally unfolds- focusing on the raw emotion, true-to-color tones, and the real atmosphere of your day. My approach is very documentary style, allowing me to preserve the honest beauty of your celebration without heavy editing or overposing. Each image is carefully crafted to reflect the story you tell so that when you look back, it feels exactly how it did in the moment.

AS Media was an exceptional wedding photography team to work with. From the start, their communication was fast, accommodating, receptive, open-minded, and friendly. They took the time to understand our vision, asking for a list of desired shots and examples of photography styles we liked. On the day of the wedding, Alex was extremely punctual, arriving early for the ceremony and staying late into the evening for the reception. She dedicated the entire day to capturing our special day, making us feel so special and valued. The final photos were of the highest quality - thorough, dependable, skilled, creative, and truly captured all the details, from our guests to the decor. We are thrilled with the results and highly recommend AS Media to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photography.

A former newspaper photographer & editor, I truly love to capture authentic moments as they happen - commonly known as lifestyle photography. My favorite photos are storytelling moments filled with happiness & love. I'm also a sucker for gorgeous light, sunsets, trees, and ALL naturally beautiful outdoor settings. I'm a bit of a romantic and LOVE catching those in between funny moments when no one thinks I'm watching. My Client for Life program evolved when so many couples came back to me for newborn and family sessions - I LOVE building that relationship and becoming "their" photographer for life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chef Dominique was incredible to work with for our wedding weekend 8-12-23! Her passion, mastery, expertise, creativity is clearly shown through her work. You can tell she loves what she does. The process of working with her was so smooth. She took a small deposit for a booking fee, then took our order. We walked through options, flavors, and showed her pictures of ideas for all of our desserts that weekend. It included a rehearsal dinner groom's cake, wedding reception cake, and cupcakes. She nailed all of them! They were tasty, moist, not too sweet, and decorated so well! They literally matched the vision we had and surpassed pictures we showed her; they had her touches on them. We were in town about 5 months prior to our wedding and we were able to do a taste testing with her — ordering about 6-8 cupcakes of different flavors. It was nice to test them and figure out how to match flavors for our wedding. Her billing process is secure and easy online. Pickup for the taste test cupcakes and the rehearsal dinner cake was easy and her store is easy to get to. Delivery for the wedding was on time, without any issues. We received so many complements about the cakes and how they were decorated! We were fortunate to have some leftovers from the wedding that we ate on for the next few days. I will say the cake and cupcakes did survive and still taste good 1-3 days later as we traveled back home from Virginia. we will definitely use Dominique again for any dessert needs and will continually recommend her to others! Thank you Dominique for being part of our special weekend! It wouldn’t have been as sweet without you! See review on Google maps for photos!

We recently got married at Gala 417, and the entire experience was fantastic! The venue is absolutely breathtaking, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning everything was. Working with the Gala 417 team, especially Sarah and Lyndsey, made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. They were incredibly responsive and attentive, always quick to answer questions and ensure that our wedding day vision came to life in a way that felt uniquely ours. Lyndsey, our day-of coordinator, was amazing! She handled everything flawlessly throughout the morning and early afternoon, and we truly appreciated how well-organized and professional she was. Even though there were a couple of small bumps after her departure, such as the DJ needing a reminder for speeches, and a few of our selected beer options running out earlier than expected, the staff still managed to keep everything running smoothly. To future brides, I would recommend clearly emphasizing any specific beverage preferences during your catering and blueprint meetings if you or your guests have favorites to avoid any disappointments. We were especially excited about the food after trying it at our catering meeting—it was delicious, and we even bragged to our guests about it! However, on the day of the wedding, the food served was bland and inconsistently prepared. We had requested steaks to be cooked medium, but after the fact, many of our guests shared that their filets ranged from rare to well-done, with some even mentioning gristle or fat in the cut—which shouldn’t happen with a filet. This was a bit disappointing, especially considering how much we were looking forward to the meal. Overall, Gala 417 went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. We would absolutely recommend this venue to future couples—between the gorgeous space and the dedication of the staff, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. We are so grateful to the entire Gala 417 team for making our day so special!

From the very beginning, Camille was fast to respond, accommodating to our needs, and always maintained a positive and excited energy. Her communication style was just what we were looking for - she made the whole process feel seamless and stress-free. The quality of her work is truly flawless, with a beautiful, candid, and dreamy aesthetic that captured all the little moments we wanted to remember. Camille made sure I got everything I wanted and more out of my photos. The photo I cherish most to this day isn’t even of my husband and I. My grandfather recently passed away and the photo I cherish most is of him and my littlest sister, dancing together alone on the dance floor. It is a photo I hold dear to me and will cherish always. Camille is an incredibly talented and accommodating photographer, and we are so grateful to have had her be a part of our special day. We have already decided she is the only photographer we want to work with going forward to capture all of the special moments in our lives.

Our mission is simple, to provide your magical day with amazing memories that will last you a lifetime. From every moment of planning with us in our consultations, to your ceremony where we provide the best sound system as the bride walks to her future husband, and all the way to each song requests that you desire to be planned throughout the night. Your dance party will be a fist pumping, top of the lungs singing, crowd-surfing, and dancing all night type of party!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Josh! From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive to every detail. He took the time to understand our music preferences, the overall vibe we wanted, and even helped us fine-tune the timeline to keep the night flowing perfectly. During the wedding, Josh absolutely nailed it! The ceremony music was timed flawlessly, the transitions during cocktail hour and dinner were seamless, and the dance floor was packed all night long! He read the crowd perfectly and mixed songs in a way that kept everyone, from our grandparents to our college friends, having the best time. Beyond his DJ skills, Josh’s energy and positive attitude made him such a joy to work with. We truly felt like he cared about making our night special and he did exactly that. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests saying it was the most fun dance floor they’ve ever been on! If you’re looking for a DJ who is talented, organized, and genuinely passionate about making your event unforgettable, we can’t recommend Josh enough. He helped make our wedding an absolute dream!
