We first engaged Tina to take headshots that our daughter needed for school applications. Despite a VERY short turnaround time, Tina was able to bring her into the studio and get the perfect shot. Tina talked to her about what she was looking for, got her comfortable with being photographed, and -- literally the same day -- produced several dozen proofs for us to review and select from. The end result was a series of absolutely dazzling photos that were exactly what my daughter needed (and came at an extremely reasonable price). Thank you again, Tina for so quickly producing such spectacular results!

We decided to go to Steven Wu after checking out his yelp reviews and made a few inquiries through…read moreemails and phone calls, and we are very happy with the experience. Over the phone, steven took time to get to know you and your story, try to get a sense of what kinda pictures/portrait you are looking for and record your story through the lens. We did both city hall wedding and a private 2 hours outdoor shooting on Long island. As always, he arrived early ( earlier than us). City Hall Wedding For most couples, it's prob. their first time, so having a wedding photographer who is patient and experienced with the process definitely ease a lot of the stress. I remember Steven kinda walk me through the process over the phone before the court wedding date, giving your tips that actually helped a lot. The actually "ceremony" is quick, but sometimes the wait can be a little long, he really takes time to capture each moment for you along each step of the process. Outdoor Shooting I told Steven that I love nature, and I like artsy/cool pictures. Steven suggested morning/evening time where the light has a lot of variety. For me, he is sort of an impressionist, trying to capture beauty throughout the changing light. He is creative, and also open for suggestions. We loved our pictures. Notes: Pictures in this review were downsized, and I changed a little contrasts and light (so you can't see our faces). Ask Steven for some portfolio work, which you can get a better sense of his styles (and maybe some pose ideas).

Steven Wu is an incredibly talented photographer! My S.O. and I made a trip with our family (we…read morelive in California) to New York over the summer in May. It was my S.O.'s first trip and my millionth time to NYC. Our family had already decided that we were getting engaged and having our engagement party this upcoming November. I wanted to make this trip memorable, as it was his first trip, so we decided to do our engagement photos in NYC! I researched photographers almost everyday for a month when I stumbled upon Steven and his amazing reviews! We don't regret hiring Steven! He was absolutely amazing! We had been together for 6 years and we never did any type of photo shoot together. Our shoot was on a Friday morning in Grand Central Station and then in Central Park. Imagine a typical Friday morning at Grand Central. It is very, very, very busy and packed. We met up with Steven there and he asked us to go stand in the middle, of what seemed like thousands of people, and go pose. Needless to say, we felt SO awkward doing that. The second Steven started talking to us, we got so comfortable. The whole time we were with Steven, we only noticed him and each other. He made us totally forget how nervous we were and made us forget about the hundreds of people walking by and staring at us. I recall him saying he was in technology or something before he started doing photography but I swear, he must have some training in psychology because he like hypnotized us into feeling so calm and comfortable. Once he started clicking, we were so calm and at peace. We just focused on each other and the hilarious conversations we were having with Steven. Gosh, he kept us so entertained & happy! He truly is such an amazing man!!! I researched photographers for a whole month and am so glad I found Steven! I couldn't imagine a better photographer. And as far as the pictures go, they turned out AMAZING!!! For our first ever photo shoot, they were the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen! NY has such a special place in my heart and I'm so pleased that Steven was the one who captured my S.O. and I's first trip there! I would very highly recommend Steven to anyone who is looking to engagement pictures, family photos, party or wedding photography, anything and everything! You will not regret hiring him!

After doing some online research and talking with a few photographers I decided to work with Stacey. We met in Old Town Alexandria one Saturday afternoon in October. I was nervous at first but shortly into our photo session I felt at ease as Stacey is friendly, professional and fun, not to mention amazing at what she does! She was also great with our greyhound and got some adorable shots of him. Stacey has a wonderful eye for light and color and found a lot of unique backgrounds for our photos. Our online gallery was available after about a week and a half and the results were fantastic! Soon after, Stacey scheduled a free consultation with us to view all our photos on the large computer screen that she has and to help us pick out which prints and framing options we wanted to put up in our home. She even helped us decide how best to place the photos on the wall. We received all our prints last week and have gotten our framed prints up on the wall, we couldn't be happier! If we were staying in the area I would absolutely work with Stacey again in the future.

Yesterday morning we did our 5th(!) family mini session shoot with Stacey in a garden next to the Capitol. It's wonderful to get these beautiful shots of our children growing up -- and have some shots with me that I love that aren't selfies! Years ago Stacey took an iconic (among our family and friends) photo of my son sulking off to the left of the Washington monument when my husband and I were were standing to the right smiling while pregnant with our daughter. That same day Stacey was able to joke around with our son and get the best shots of him smiling and enjoying himself. Our daughter enjoys the shoots just as much. Thank you, Stacey!

From the moment we started our wedding planning, there was two things I knew for sure: That I…read morewanted to marry my husband, and that I wanted to have Judah Avenue as our Wedding Photographer. I was obsessed with Danni Starr's Maternity and Newborn pictures and one of my best friend's Maternity and Newborn pictures that Judah Avenue had photographed. In the early stages of planning, I was so hesitant to reach out to them, because with our wedding less than six months away, I was sure they would be booked and could NOT handle that disappointment. After searching for other photographers in the Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia area, I kept coming back to our first choice-nothing could compare to the beauty, elegance, and creativity of their photos. So I took a chance, preparing for the worse. I emailed Judah Avenue in March of 2017, for our September 2017 wedding and for the second time in my life (only second to meeting my husband), I felt like the luckiest girl in the world! THEY WERE AVAILBLE!! And not only that, buy they had also started doing Wedding videography as well! I'm telling you I was so happy I could have cried! Within the week I had spoke to Nafa (the main photographer and founder) as well as exchanged emails with Suzan and put down a deposit for both photography and videography. I cannot explain how sweet these ladies were and how extremely helpful they were during this process. As it got closer and closer to the wedding, Susan became one of the people who completely helped pull my wedding together. Going SOO above and beyond, she helped coordinate the timeline and participated in numerous conference calls with my day-of-coordinator. I am the most indecisive and ill prepare bride in the world and Susan's calmness, knowledge, professionalism, and compassion really made such a difference in the weeks before my wedding. The day before my wedding, Nafa called to relate how excited she was to photograph the wedding and asked if there were any last minute things that they could help with. After getting off the phone with her, I couldn't help but feel so blessed to how this all worked out. On the day of the wedding, Suzan emailed me her best wishes and congratulations for the day. Judah Avenue and its staff had become so much more for me then just photographers- in the weeks leading up to my wedding, they were my sanity! So the wedding day came and I was shocked to see the number of photographers and videographers and managers present to capture my wedding! We had the pleasure of working with photographers Nafa, Nii, and Joseph, with videographers Sherwyn, Kai, and Biam, and manager Nigel. While this may sound like a lot of people, I assure you, once the ceremony and reception got started, they completely blended into the crowd and still somehow capturing amazing footage! Both the photographers and videographers were so helpful in terms of posing, timelines, ideas for pictures, and suggestions throughout the night in order to get the best pictures possible. They were so fun, and kind, and flexible with our suggestions as well- we could not have asked for a better experience. My husband and his groomsmen said they best part of the wedding was taking pictures before the ceremony!! They truly made it feel like we had invited our closest friends to our wedding, who happened to have cameras and be wearing black. They were so amazing, they were even able to pull my husband and I aside during the reception for a mini sparkler session!! Judah Avenue's contract ended about an hour and a half before the actual reception ended and we were actually pretty sad to see them go! About three weeks after the wedding, Maria was in touch with us to provide us a couple (5) pictures while we waited for our sneak peak to be ready! What a tease! It was amazing to have a couple of pictures so soon and it left us just wanting more! We could already tell from the few pictures that we were going to love what was to come!! About 3 weeks later, Maria again provided us with a link to a Sneak Peak Gallery with even more pictures (nearly 150) and a 5 minute highlight video! We were so amazed with the photos and had such a fun time recollecting moments from out wedding together! We had already begun picking images that we wanted to frame around our house, but then remembered that Maria said that this wasn't even the all the final photos, and the remaining would be ready in the next couple weeks! I don't think I need to wait for those photos to leave this review. I am so, beyond words, grateful to have had Judah Avenue as my Wedding Photographer and Videographer. If you are looking for a Wedding Photographer in the Washington DC, Maryland, or Virginia area (I think they even do New York!), you would be doing a disservice to yourself not to consider Judah Avenue. Thank you so much to Nafa, Suzan, Susan, Nii, Joseph, Sherwyn, Kai, Biam, Nigel, and Maria for beyond such an irreplaceable part of my dream wedding.
