If you're looking for a DC area wedding photographer, stop and book James immediately! We really…read moreliked his portfolio online, and knew after our first online conversation with him that he was the photographer we wanted to work with. He was really thoughtful in sending us sample galleries from weddings that were similar in venue and style to what we were planning. He was great at communicating about details prior to the wedding, even scouting out potential alternate locations when the forecast showed a chance of rain. On the day itself, James was wonderful. He provided just the right amount of direction while putting everyone at ease and getting a great array of candid shots and special moments. I still don't know how he manages to get so many different angles and shots by himself during the ceremony. We also love the video slideshow he did with the photos and speeches. The stunning photos from our wedding capture moments we'll cherish forever and we can't thank James enough and recommend him more highly!

If you are on the fence about whether spending more for higher quality photo and video is worth it, this is the voice telling you that it is -- at least when it comes to having Mari and George capture your events. Mari was a dream to work with. She matched our vibes perfectly, making us feel comfortable and beautiful, so our genuine joy radiates through the photos. And George is exceptionally skilled at cinematography. He captured both the high-energy moments and the sweet intimate moments with equal finesse, and put it all together in a way that transports us back to those incredible days. We cannot emphasize enough how amazing their photos and videos are and how much we recommend their team.

They made it all happen and without wasting a minute so we could enjoy our while photos happened throughout.

We had an outdoor portrait session this fall in Washington D.C. I met with both Sharon Macorol (Bobbi Brown makeup artist) who did my makeup for that day, and Havar and was filled with both excitement and nerves. The duo were able to ease my nerves and were very welcoming and friendly. Sharon did a great job with my makeup and choose very flattering colors. I even ended up purchasing the lipstick she chose on me. Havar was able to direct me on how to pose, but also gave me the freedom to pose however I wanted to as well. He made the shoot very fun and comfortable even despite my initial awkwardness and lack of modeling ability. He was also very patient and did not rush the shoot, which I very much appreciated. This really showed me that he aims for, and values client satisfaction. What I was amazed by most was how quick Havar was in sending me the thumbnails of the shots. I believe he was able to send me all two hundred something of the thumbnails by the end of that night so that I could choose my top 10. After I chose my top 10, he had them edited and sent to my email the next day. I would definitely recommend Princeps Studio Photography to all of my friends for any type of photography that needs to be done. I couldn't have been more happy and impressed with how the photos turned out!

First, we were late (I still haven't figured out how to account for DC traffic) - Erin was very nice/gracious about it. Then, each of my siblings and I had specific ideas in mind and were fairly demanding about what we wanted (4 adults who all have their own taste/thoughts = a lot of discussion about what to do or not do). Erin stayed up-beat and had great recommendations when people got stuck for poses or couldn't agree on what to do. Finally, she did a great job touching up the photographs for small errors such a bra strap showing or puffy under-eyes in the close-up photographs. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get a family photo-shoot. She has the perfect attitude for handling demanding people and she gets great shots.

Leslie was super professional, took the time to learn about my main purpose for doing the photo shoot, and before the photo shoot, supported me in thinking through everything that I needed to have in place to have a successful photo shoot.

I found her through another app, and her portfolio was very impressive. She requested a time to speak with me by phone, and chatting with her was like chatting with an old friend. I shared what I had considered as far a "look" was concerned, and when she expressed her vision, it was like she brought my small idea to life with concepts I never even considered! I got the impression she was completely understanding of the billion thoughts that run through a bride's mind, and because of that, she's able to bring all the minute details into focus (no pun intended) into captured moments in time. Actually, she was preparing for her honeymoon when we spoke, so I believe that's what made her even more relatable as a photographer. :-) Even while she was on her honeymoon, she left me in the capable hands of Stephanie who was just as warm and sweet as she was. Stephanie answered the many questions (and probably repeated questions) I had with so much patience. I loved the fact that they went above and beyond to work with me and my budget, and although another lucky customer beat me to the booking, I look forward to working with everyone at LNJ Designs in the near future. Do yourself a favor and book Leslie as your photographer!
