She Loves Me is owned by Holley Simmons, the daughter of a seamstress who spent her childhood glueing rhinestones on anything she could find. At the shop, their enthusiastic team takes just-plucked blooms and lovingly spins them into flower magic for your special events, celebrations, and very important deliveries.
She Loves Me works with in-season flowers sourced from a number of local, women-owned farms throughout the spring, summer and fall. When winter comes they do their best to work with American-grown blooms.
In addition to fresh-cut flowers, She Loves Me offer dried floral arrangements, interior landscaping services, in-person and virtual workshops, as well as micro-weddings. They are a proud member of Upshur Street’s business community in D.C.'s Petworth neighborhood and make it a point to give back regularly.
Andie Ingagliato started her career as a fine art portrait photographer in 2008. Her passion for gorgeous imagery started with studies in classical music and theater which led to her receiving her BFA in photography and film from one of the top art programs in the nation: Virginia Commonwealth University.
Her wedding and portraiture work has been featured in Style Me Pretty, Washingtonian Weddings, The Knot, Martha Stewart Weddings and acknowledged by fashion designers, including Draper James.
Her characteristic style combines romance and editorial perspective with authenticity. She is uniquely gifted with bringing a sense of finesse into everything she touches while making it seem completely effortless. After 15 years of capturing weddings and families during the most precious times of their lives, she can truly say that this is exactly where she is meant to be.
When she isn't photographing weddings, Andie enjoys the outdoors alongside her husband, Tony and daughter, Ava.
