From the initial email, to the phone call to the emails back and forth prior to our photoshoot, Pri was patient, understanding and took in our requests and thoughts as well. On the day of the shoot, which we chose a nice comfortable hotel room, Pri's team did a great job making my wife look really pretty based on our requests. We felt 110% comfortable in taking our photos as Pri has an ability and energy to keep us going for the 3 to 4 hours of the photoshoot The pictures that came out were really good (hard time choosing) and Pri also was generous in the number of photos that she provided for our choosing. We will recommend her and her team for their absolute level of good service, and great patience and understanding.

I have never met a more unprofessional wedding photographer, and I have years of experience of…read morebeing an assistant to a wedding photographer. This woman showed up in a t-shirt style jumper and sneakers to start. Comfort and mobility are important working, but so is blending in with a formal environment of a wedding. She was frazzled and didn't provide any direction and didn't have a plan, even though she was supposedly familiar with the venue and should know what photos she planned on taking. While, we, the bridal party was getting hair and makeup done for the wedding, she was snapping stills of the brides accessories for close to an hour. Where did she take these photos of the accessories? On the floor in the bathroom. This caused her to break my 1890s diamond and pearl pendant that I was loaning the bride into multiple pieces. I have no idea if she stepped on it or knelt on it moving crap around, but when confronted she insisted it was in pieces when she was taking photos already. It wasn't, I had check it that morning before she touched it and the chain was found on the floor in the bathroom. The rare, baroque nature pearl was never found. I had no recourse because she deleted any photos that would have shown the whole necklace. She didn't even try to find the missing pieces or apologize. When she did finally get around to taking photos of the bridal party, well behind schedule, there were zero instructions. No one knew what photos were being taken, no one knew where to go for the photos. The bride had a surprise for the groom that she knew about, but was no where to be found when it showed up. She kept directing us to walk through the grass in heels and then would change her mind once we got there so we had to keep going back and forth in muddy grass getting our dresses and shoes dirty. She didn't do any photography basics of staging and posing the bridal party, flooding the dress or giving any direction on how to stand, turn and face her for good photos. There is some actual skill in taking a good photo, not just relying on photoshop to do it all for you. It is also not the bridal parties responsibility to set up the photo. I have never had to do so much work being the subject of the photo. The other wedding aids who have worked with her in the past confirmed that she is always behind schedule and less than professional. During the reception she was in the way of everyone dancing trying to get photos. Wedding guests were having to constantly move around her. Even without her destroying an heirloom necklace, she is not someone I would ever hire. I will say the bride and groom turned out beautiful, they are beautiful people and it's not hard to capture that. Following this review, they were contacted and begging to have it removed, so I did edited it. Once again they failed to take accountability for their mistakes and use a negative review to do better. Everyone deserves a chance to improve, but if they aren't willing to listen to criticism they never will. I wait to give reviews until I am no longer livid with the experience and can give a fair and accurate review. You don't have to be a paying customer to have a horrible experience with a business. Do better.

The photographers were punctual, professional, easy to work with, encouraging, and fun! They've definitely got their wedding day photography down to a science. We never felt rushed, and Rita listened to everything we asked for, and her expertise definitely came in handy when directing us. We also asked for pictures with our hockey teams, and I was personally getting frustrated at trying to get 20 men to look at the camera, Rita stayed calm, never lost her patience, and was able to get off the shots we wanted. When we received or pictures back, we were happy to see that her editing was consistent with pictures in her portfolio, and perfectly captured moments and feeling of our day. Would highly recommend to anyone!

This could be a great opportunity to see if she'd be a good fit for us. Eventually, she responded, asking if I'd be available for a Wednesday morning sunrise session. I agreed without hesitation. The next day, she contacted me again, asking if we could do the session that evening instead. I said yes, but I needed to know the time. She replied with something vague like, "Ooo, I don't know... maybe 5 p.m.?" Her response felt wishy-washy, but I confirmed that 5 p.m. worked for me. By 3:00 p.m., I still hadn't heard back, so I followed up to check if we were still meeting at 5:00 p.m. and where the shoot would be. I began getting ready, as it took me a while to prepare myself and my family. Keep in mind that I'd also canceled my prior engagements and evening plans - it was a big commitment on our end. When 5:00 p.m. came and went without a word from her, I decided to give it another hour, hoping I'd hear from her while there was still daylight. But nothing. Regardless of being a model, I felt frustrated that she lacked the communication to tell me that she ended up choosing someone else for the session and gave the excuse that her "phone had died." After such a disappointing experience, I realized I wouldn't want to actually book with her, nor would I recommend her to anyone.

When I asked my husband if he wanted to write my review for Lisa, he said, "sure." This is what he…read morewrote: HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. Given that his eloquence didn't quite match the expression on his face, I thought I'd take over. Lisa did a boudoir photo shoot with me (the photos were a surprise for my husband's birthday). I wanted to write a review because I asked her not to put the photos up on her blog--though I loved them, I wanted to let the pictures remain private to us. However, my experience was absolutely phenomenal. Lisa worked with me for pricing; not only was she one of the only photographers I looked at who included all the photos taken as part of the deliverables included in the original fee (i.e. I don't have to buy photos from her because I will have digital copies of all of them with reprinting rights), but she also was just fine with doing the shoot at a friend of mine's apartment and having another friend do my make-up. Before the shoot, I expressed my concerns about my own body image and fear of not looking "good enough," and Lisa reassured me that it would truly be a fun experience--and it was! When you look at the photos she took, it's hard to believe that Lisa is so young, that she came to the apartment with only a backpack of supplies, and that she somehow managed to make me look like a model! The shots are so diverse--in some, she captured my actual genuine laugh or smile, while in others she found my inner seductress--but every single one is both classy and sexy. My husband is in awe and wants to "shout from the rooftops how hot my wife is"--and I have even been proudly showing them to close friends (which I never thought I'd do!). I cannot recommend Lisa enough--if you're worried about how you might look or feel during a boudoir shoot, have no fears! As my husband said, "see, this is how I see you every day--finally, someone captured that in a photo as proof."

I was so excited she was available for our Sept 2013 wedding and could not wait to meet her. At our initial meeting, we had a lot of fun getting to know it each other and both my husband and I felt comfortable with her right away. This comfort continued into our engagement photo session, which we did in Old Town Alexandria. Lisa had fantastic suggestions on where to go and made ordinary scenery and streets come to life and compliment us. On our wedding day, I had no worries or stress related to the photography, I knew with Lisa's talent and eye in combination with her dedication and passion our photos would be beautiful. When I saw the pictures I was stunned, they are absolutely amazing. She was able to capture the entire day perfectly, the photographs were better then I imagined. We have received so many compliments on our wedding photos and about how much fun our guests had with Lisa throughout the day. Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with, she is an incredible artist and amazing person. I feel very blessed that we were able to work with her and get to know her. I would not hesitate to recommend her, she is the best!

We will be hiring them for my sisters wedding, our future baby shower and our kids portraits!! I hope we never move so that they are always our photographers for every event in our lives. Outside of having amazing photography skills, they are so personable and I never realized how important the engagement photo shoot is. You really get to know your photographers and they explain to you why they choose to do certain poses or angles. In fact I got to know them so well that at my wedding when I was tired of smiling for pictures, I would take a break with them and just chit-chat. Love you guys so much :)

Amy has the uncanny ability to direct crowds (especially critical for an Indian Wedding) and was able to consistently put my nervous wife at ease. We clicked with them instantly and in my opinion, that's the most important thing when it comes to choosing a photographer. Their style fit perfectly with what we wanted, a photojournalistic recap of our wedding and that's exactly what we got. Everything was candid and felt natural (rather than forced portraits...). We could barely spot Srinu and the crew in the crowd but they got ended up getting every shot that we could have hoped for and all of them were fantastic quality. The video was top notch too - they were even able to create a quick wedding recap video to play at our reception on the same day (which got rave reviews from our guests). Considering how busy they were with all of their bookings during wedding season, their communication was remarkable. Amy usually responded to our inquiries within minutes and never left us hanging. They were especially flexible in providing us with a photo booth that we really wanted when it was a service they typically didn't offer - it ended up being a huge hit and is just one example of how they go above and beyond for their clients. Amy and Srinu were a true joy to work with and we'll definitely be using their services in the future. I'd highly recommend them to anyone for wedding, portrait or general photo/video services. They're a bit on pricier side but you really get what you pay for and you will certainly not be disappointed.
