I'm a repeat customer and I cannot tell you how impressed I am with John Andrada Photography. He is…read moretruly a skilled photographer and takes time with his artistry to craft the perfect look for you. I've worked with several photographers in NYC and DC in the past, and usually, they will rush you, take a few shots, and deliver ho-hum photos. Not John though, and that's what sets him apart from others. The first headshot from several months ago is amazing and I still get compliments. I came back for the branding package for my website(s), and I'm thoroughly excited by the results. I just got them the photos today, and I could not wait to write a review. The professionalism, the quality, and artistry are impeccable. John is a specialist with lighting and gives you slight direction to get the right pose needed for your photo. The result is a photograph that stands the tests of time and stands out from the crowd. He is an artistic genius, funny, and pleasant to work with. A true superstar if you ask me. I couldn't be more pleased.

Given how much I usually dislike photos of myself, I was absolutely blown away when I received the final images - I liked them all!

Will definitely be reaching out to Youra anytime we need a photographer in the future!

Not only were the photos fast (you're in and out in 20 minutes) but we got TONS of great shots in a variety of poses. She made the toddler in the family look like a child model and managed to make him smile a genuine smile for every shot he's in. Magic! My husband's sister lost her job due to COVID, so she's temporarily playing nanny to her cousin's toddler. There's so much about the pandemic that isn't great, but having so much family so close by for once is a small silver lining to this whole thing, and we wanted to document it by getting some family shots. Even though it was an overcast, humid day, the pictures all came out great and are cheerfully gloomy, with rich dark green backgrounds and pops of color from our outfits. We had trouble choosing our favorites! She even rolled with the punches when I brought some fans with other cousin's faces on them so they could "be" in the photo we send to Grammy and just acted like that was a fine and normal thing to bring to a shoot :).

She really knows the DMV area and offers great sites for shooting. When I floated the idea of cherry blossoms, winter themed and then Fall foliage (for each of the respective above shoots), she picked out stunning sites that were absolutely perfect. During the photoshoots, Saoussen is really great at capturing beautiful moments without feeling overwhelming or staged at all. It's always a pleasurable one hour and she sends a portfolio of numerous wonderful photos that we instantly love!

The session ended up being one of the most fun and pleasant experience in my life. I would definitely work with him again in the future!!!

Jae is an amazing photographer and I highly recommend him! If you're looking for someone who will…read morego above and beyond expectations, Jae is the man. He is very responsive and detail oriented. I hired him to take photos of my proposal. From the start, he removed all the stress out of planning so I only had to focus on actually proposing. He was essentially a photographer and a planner! Once I chose the general location and time of the proposal, Jae went out of his way to scout the place beforehand. He provided me with the exact spots with the best background, detailed diagrams of how to get to the spot, and how to propose for the best shots. Because it was an outdoor location, Jae helped me come up with contingency plans and what to do for each case. My fiancée and I are more awkward when it comes to photos but Jae brings in over 10 years of experience. He was able to help us get into the best poses and he edited the photos to make us really shine. Jae even stayed up late to finish editing our photos earlier than anticipated when he found out we were heading out of town soon after. I am truly thankful for Jae's help.

It was a simple Brooklyn wedding and we didn't want to be tied down by a photographer getting shots of us the whole time and so we were 50/50 on getting a photographer. After meeting with him few months before the wedding, he put our worries at ease. Through the whole process leading up to the wedding day, he followed up to ensure that he had all the information he needed for our event and our timeline. The day of the event, Konrad was phenomenal! He did more than what a bride would hope from a photographer! He took the photos he needed without being intrusive, sorta like a fly on the wall as he called it, kept us on time and on schedule without putting unnecessary pressure, and kept my family and the bridal party entertained through the whole process. When it came time to take the group pics I have requested, he was concise and executed the line up as I instructed. My groom, I, all my family and guests really loved him and enjoyed his company and jokes during our wedding. I would highly recommend Konrad! He is professional, talented and a real class act. He came on time to our meeting and to our wedding event, followed directions very well, and delivered our photos very fast. He took great pics and even more amazing candid shots during our wedding that really captured all the feels and how much fun everyone was having on our very special day. Thank you so much Konrad!!

Konrad is super professional, fun, easy to work with, organized, flexible, and most of all, TALENTED! I knew from the start I had chosen the right photographer because of his attention to detail in planning and making sure every aspect of the day was accounted for. He was always available to discuss changes in plans and throw around ideas. My girlfriend (now fiancée!) only met him on the day of and in a short amount of time was able to see just how awesome he is. Add all of that to the pictures he took - we were just blown away. Every friend and family member has commented on how amazing our pictures look - that we look like we're in a movie. All because of Konrad's genius and creativity! He directed us on what to do and made us feel so comfortable, and as other reviews mentioned, made everything feel so natural and fun. He was so pleasant working with our families once they surprised my girlfriend, and knew exactly how to take cues from what was going on and what they wanted in the moment. He is just absolutely everything you want in a photographer; hiring him is one of the best decisions you will make for your big event.
