About this vendor
I love shooting weddings and love marriage even more. I've been on both sides of the camera as a bride and as a photographer and am passionate about having an awesome relationship with my hubby and with each couple I have the privilege to work with. We are based in Northern VA and travel for our weddings in Maryland, Washington DC and Virginia. I'll work with you, and or your planner from start to finish to ensure your timeline and shot list are exactly what you want them to be!

After searching all over DC for wedding photographers, I knew I would love Taja and Sweet Little Notions Photography the moment I read their website. My husband and I knew we wanted a micro wedding and I was always so discouraged by the large extravagant wedding photography packages we encountered at every turn. That's why we were so impressed with how organized, price transparent, and fun Sweet Little Notions was, not to mention the stunning quality of their photos! Taja totally gets what small wedding brides are looking for and cuts out all of the unnecessary frills to give you what you really want: stunning, high quality photos and a lot of fun making it happen on your wedding day! So many of our family and friends tell us that Sweet Little Notions photos of our big day are the most gorgeous wedding photos they have ever seen. Taja did such a wonderful job planning poses, capturing candids, including my jaw dropping when friends had surprised us with elaborate chalk art outside our ceremony venue, and blending in so that everything centered around enjoying and living in the moment, not feeling like a photographer was in your face. We received an array of hand edited favorite photos in TWO DAYS and the rest of our 621 edited shots, including an adorable curated digital wedding album in ONE WEEK! If you are looking for a fun, professional, and frankly spectacular wedding photographer, do yourself a favor and hire Sweet Little Notions!
What a nightmare experience. I would give Taja and Sweet Little Notions zero stars if I could as she didn’t even show up to my wedding nor did she let me know that she wasn’t coming.
When I first booked Taja in Jan (for an October wedding), she was wonderful! Super responsive and friendly and she worked out a price/package to fit our needs. She even emailed me during the summer to check in and asked for my address so she could send me a little gift. I never received anything... not even a response to my email.
Two months prior to the wedding, I was trying to reach Taja to go over final details and to figure out where we would be taking wedding photos. All my attempts to reach Taja and her assistant, Stephanie went unanswered for weeks.
Day of the wedding, Stephanie informed me that Taja’s flight back to DC was cancelled and she didn’t arrive in DC until 6:00 am (my wedding started at 5:00 pm) so Taja wasn’t coming. However, Taja did send a replacement photographer (Images by Geneva) who was wonderful and we could not have been happier with the substitute.
The photo booth we had at the wedding was great and all our guests loved it. We were able to customize the design and text on the photo strip and guests even had the option to send the strips directly to their phones. They provided plenty of props for the photo booth too - this was easily the best part of Sweet Little Notions.
After the wedding, I reached out to Stephanie to see how long it would take for us to get our wedding photos - understanding that combing through and editing thousands of pictures takes time. I was extremely thankful for Stephanie during this time as she was quick to respond to all my messages and always followed up with Taja for me.
On November 20th, I FINALLY received a message from Taja herself. She apologized for "being not so responsive/accessible" and said that she was hand editing all our photos and would have her favorites over to us that day (which she did). Prior to Nov 20th, the last time I heard from Taja was Sept 25th. (Our wedding was Oct 25th).
The communication, or lack there of, was horrendous. Things I had already discussed with Taja such as where we were looking to get pictures taken, wedding colors, size of wedding etc were not passed on to Stephanie and I ended up having to re-explain everything to Stephanie 1 week before our wedding.
The pictures we received were good. However, it seemed like we were missing a lot. Since receiving our wedding photos, I have emailed Taja 3 times and have not heard one word from her or Stephanie.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company. They consistently miss their own deadlines they give to clients without any sort of follow-up. Their lack of attention to detail, poor communication with each other and their clients, and inability to respond to emails/calls/texts in a timely manner (or respond at all) caused so much unnecessary stress and anxiety.
Sweet Little Notions provided wonderful photobooth services for our November wedding. Leading up to the event Taja was responsive and quick to make edits to the photo strip design. At our wedding Stephanie, our booth attendant, was a total pro! Our timeline had her setting up during dinner just to the side of the dining room and she was very quiet and discreet during set up. She was also extremely friendly and patient with some of our guests who didn't know how to use the booth. The props were awesome and my husband and I loved looking through the booth gallery afterwards. We highly recommend Taja and her team!
I reached out to Sweet Little Notions within 2 weeks of my event. Lauren was super responsive in helping me figure out which services i'd like to have, and even helped me get the photo booth booked! The process was super easy. The quality of the photos are fantastic. (Way better than any other photo booth I've ever used before) The attendant at my wedding reception was fun, personable and friendly! I definitely recommend this company for all of their photo booth needs! Thanks Sweet Little Notions! I will definitely use you for any of my future events!
Taja did a great job for our wedding! Our guests kept telling us how much fun they were having taking pics in the booth and there were tons of props to choose from. We had a great time jumping into our guests' pics and taking our own. Taja also emailed us a link the next day with all our photo booth pics and videos and we've had a lot of fun looking through them. Highly recommend booking Sweet Little Notions!
Sweet Little Notions was amazing! The price cannot compare and neither can their professionalism. Their equipment was cute and sleek - not the bulky boxes you see at most weddings. 5 stars all around!
We had a great experience with Sweet Little Notions! The photo booth set-up, props, and attendant were fantastic! Our guests had a great time taking photos in the booth! Taja was very prompt and responsive to any and all inquiries. It was so great to have a vendor that made the whole experience smooth and stress-free!
We had a great experience with Sweet Little Notions! Our attendant for the evening was very helpful, there were a ton of great props, and the backdrop was great. Our favorite feature was that you could text the photos straight to your phone! For the price, Sweet Little Notions offered more features than any of the other photo booth vendors we considered, and unlike other vendors, Sweet Little Notions was upfront about its pricing. Taja was very responsive to our phone calls and questions about the features, and the photo strip was exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend them!
We used the photobooth. The price is great compared to other competitors! Price includes so much like the attendants, props, unlimited strips, great options for back drops, etc. communication was great- Emails were replied usually within minutes and we adjusted out contract so easily. Everyone had so much fun and raved about it! We will be using sweet little notions for any future events !
Taja is the absolute best!! We just had sweet little notions provide a photo booth for our wedding and it was perfect!! Everyone at the wedding loved it so much!! Taja coordinated everything, was always super responsive to my emails, and my guests raved about how kind the photo booth attendants were. I really hope I have another event where we can have sweet little notions bring us a photo booth!!
