We are likely leaving the area in early 2014 so I wanted to have some professional photos done of…read moremyself with my husband and our greyhound to commemorate our time here. 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.

Stacey is amazing. I first met her through a friend that was organizing a head shots evening for…read morelots of professional friends, so I bought 15 min in a studio with Stacey and got the best headshot that has come in so very handy many times. I moderated a panel last week and a panelist I was being introduced to said, "yes, the woman with the most amazing head shot." 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!

We talked about what I was going for and he made the whole photo shoot a fantastic and fun experience. Then, today, I got the images....wow, wow, wow! He captured the exact vibe that I wanted to convey for my new Business Operations Coaching/Advising practice and made the essence of who I am shine through. Bonus...he gave me plenty of images so I have a variety of options for social media posts. He is amazing!! If you need photos of yourself or an event, call him!!

As the owner of a real estate staging company, I have used Steve, owner and operator of Whysall…read morePhotography, for several years now to photograph special, niche listings. His talent is that special blend of science and art that not only makes a listing highly marketable, but also captures the essence of the property. Recently, I hired Steve to photograph an impromptu wedding of a dear friend that was being held at my house. Keenly aware that my experience as a professional home stager in no way qualifies me to act as a wedding planner, I was very worried that the event would fall short of the bride's expectations. In addition, I was concerned that my modest house would not provide an adequate backdrop for Steve to capture the special moments of the day. I have always been a huge fan of Steve's work, but now my appreciation of his expertise and artistic talents is even greater! Upon arriving, he performed his usual "walk-through" to determine the positive attributes and challenges of the venue. Very quickly he established a strategy for shooting the wedding (no rehearsal...totally "off-the-cuff"), and within the first hour was in his "artistic groove" as I like to call it! The resulting wedding photos are nothing less than magical; it looks as if the wedding took place at a five star hotel! Thanks to Steve's artistry, my friend has a wedding album filled with beautiful memories.

Steve worked with us to help us achieve our goal of getting some outdoor family photos. He was…read morepunctual, found us a great location by a nearby river, put us at ease, and took some awesome photos despite wind and a bit of rain. He was easy to communicate with, and delivered as promised. He even got into the water (in November!) to help us get a few shots of our son on the rocks in the river. He was also kind, considerate, and even thought to let our son be the lighting assistant for a few photos, which went a long way toward holding a teenager's interest. We are very appreciative of Steve's professional handling of our photo session and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a professional photographer.

We are so grateful that we met Serge and had the ability/talent to bring that out of us into reality. Our story begins with me and my wife meeting at the gym in a cycle studio for the first time years ago. The gym is our most sacret place for both of us. So we agreed to discuss our ideas to Serge. His reaction became very possitive, motivating which gave us the confident that we needed. My wife is also a coffee lover and he suggested to take some pictures in a fancy coffee shot. It was hilarious and different but absolutely loved it!! We also both love nature and like to spend time outdoors. He took us to a magical place that is relaxing and unforgettable. We had a specific time of the day to perform our photo shoot, unfortunately, we were running late and my wife was very worried if we would have enough time to fit all our plans. At the same time Serge had other appointments after our photo shoot. He called to check on us to see if everything was as planned. We then explained the situation. Took it so calm and professionally that he understood what we were going through. This helped build back our confidence and encouraged us to continue as we talk about. Planning for a huge photshoot does take alot of time and energy to make it perfect. He explained that everything will be amazing but it wasn't amazing, it was EXTREMELY WONDERFUL AND BEYONG OUR EXPECTATIONS. We shared our ideas with him and later brought everything we mention to reality. It was all detailed to perfection and nothing was left out. He's skills were organized neatly that it was breathtaking. The experience we had was so much fun, exciting, and perfect that we can't stop talking about it and thanking Sokolov Photgraphy for everything they did for us. That's why we want to share this incredible experience with everyone. Once again, thank you Serge for the time and effort you put into our pictures. It means so much to us. And we love every single on of them. Rob & Cindy

FillmanFoto is the best of the best. You will most certainly get a deal when booking with Sarah,…read morebecause her rates are outrageously reasonable considering the amazing pictures she will take for you. Her pictures are always sharp and well-staged (while still looking natural), and every person and scene looks the best it possibly could. Sarah is a pro at catching a person, animal, or scene at just the right moment so that it looks magical, and her editing is such so that it doesn't look fake. Most important (to me, anyway), Sarah has a professional and friendly demeanor that makes you at ease right from the start, so that you don't feel uncomfortable being in front of a camera for hours at a time. I worked with Sarah when she shot boudoir shots of me - this could have been very awkward, but instead I forgot she was even taking pictures because she was so professional. The pictures turned out beyond beautifully, she was quick in editing them, and she brought all of her own equipment so that I felt comfortable shooting in my own home. I have recommended FillmanFoto to everyone I know, and she has taken stunning pictures for them as well (regardless of the event and the people in the shots). I can't wait to recruit her for my engagement and wedding shoots!

From the first session to the most recent, she has consistently impressed me with her communication, kindness, and utmost professionalism in every aspect.

I've always been more than satisfied with the final results; they never fail to exceed my expectations. The way she captures emotions and turns them into cherished memories is nothing short of magic.

I highly recommend Zori Studios to anyone who is looking for reasonably priced and wonderful videography services.

When booking my wedding photographer, I talked to a few different photographers and within the…read morefirst two minutes of talking to Pamela, I knew she was the one. She took the time to ask what I wanted and really wanted to know what I wanted to get from my photos. She asked about my details and what style I wanted. She was extremely sweet and from that phone conversation alone I could tell she had a true passion for wedding photography. Pamela wasn't just my wedding photographer, she was a friend. I booked her about a year in advance and she checked in periodically throughout that year. We had several interactions leading up to the day (phone, email, in person) where she spent time helping me plan the ends and odds of my wedding, she even helped me come up with my wedding timeline. She also visited my venue to brainstorm ideas before the big day and even sent me an itinerary. She really thinks of everything! On my wedding day, Pamela & her assistant Sergey (I hope the spelling is right) were phenomenal. They got a ton of great pictures and came up with a lot of amazing ideas for photos. They both are extremely detail oriented. They made sure my train was perfect at all times, that Matt's tie was straight, you name it, they saw it. At the end of the night, they even offered to stay later to get additional photos. I am extremely grateful for those two. I then received my wedding photos within 2 weeks, not just your standard preview or sneak peak but ALL of them and on top of that they look AMAZING. Thank you Pamela! I can't wait to get another excuse to use you in the future!

We went with Pamela because she was consistently rated the #1 wedding photographer in the DC area…read moreby weddingwire, theknot, etc and because she was referred to us by a friend.

Bottomline- if you are having a wedding in the DC area, or want photos for another occassion or corporate event, go with Pamela!
