She is absolutely at the top of our list of all our wedding vendors. She is incredibly talented, professional, responsive, and patient. Over the months leading up to the wedding and after the engagement shoot (what a great decision that was to do!!!), Jan answered a myriad of questions leading up to the wedding (many not even remotely related to photography). She always answered emails immediately. Something we very much appreciated. Talented and caring is a wonderful combination in a photographer. Certainly there are other photographers who also have her amazing camera skills, but Jan has something that sets her apart. She is a kind, relaxed person with a wonderful ability to handle complex & confusing situations. She knows how to get people to relax in front of the camera & completely forget she is there - this equals amazing photos. I really do not think we understood when we started the selection process how important personality is when it comes to selecting a wedding photographer. But, we learned, it should be high on your list, right after photographic skill. We were so fortunate to have heard wonderful reviews of Jan and that helped us a lot in picking her. We had people going every which way the day of the wedding. But Jan had asked us ahead of time to think through what pictures we would want of family and friends. We did not quite "get" why we were doing it but the day of the wedding it became clear - Jan and her assistant had everyone in and out of shots before we knew it. Her assistant, by the way, was superb also. As we look back now at these gorgeous pictures, we realize no one was missed. During the day of the wedding, our entire bridal party totally lost it - what to do next, where to go, when to go. Jan, gently and sweetly, kept us on track the entire day. But she was never in your face, never intrusive. Most of the evening, we do not even remember seeing her or her assistant. But the glorious photos prove she was there! Jan posted the wedding pictures almost immediately after the wedding. We sent out the link to family and friends and the response from has been universally -- what gorgeous photos. She was able to capture not only the photos of the day, but perhaps most importantly the mood of the day which can be best described as - magical. No, Jan did not pay us to write this review, she is simply that good. We are so very happy we decided to go with her. When it is all said and done, the wedding flies by in a nano second. What you have left are memories and your photos. This is not an area to skimp on. Go for the best --- Jan Michele is simply the best. But hey, don't listen to us, trust your eyes. Her work on her web site says it all. Jan is a true artist who cares deeply about her work and her clients.

Oh my gosh. Can't even put into words how beautiful, stunning, and flawless our photos and videos…read moreare. Rago and his team were sooo professional, friendly, patient and so on top of it. We got introduced to Rago months before the wedding date but he was involved and communicative the entire time. Him and his team showed up early, got the best poses and were so helpful and kind. They got a lay of the venue the day before so knew where they wanted to take photos and videos. We got sneak peeks literally the day after (or even the night of) and were over the moon to see the final results. Final pictures and videos were ready 2-3 weeks later and reliving the best day ever over and over is such a joyful experience. We can't recommend them enough and are so thankful for the incredible pictures and videos we got. 100/10 would do it again and again.. and again. Thank you so so much Rago

He gave us the options of shooting at our location, his studio, or somewhere else in DC. We chose our location and he arrived with all his studio equipment and was ready for multiple scenarios. He delivered the Proof Sheet almost right away and then when we made our selections the edits and final images were delivered so fast! We will definitely be booking him for events in the future!

Not only are they the kindest people in the world, they have an eye for creativity like no other, and they work so hard to make you feel comfortable even if you are not used to being in front of a camera. I will be recommending them to every person I have ever met and you will be doing yourself a disservice if you do not hire them. 1000000000/10.

We we were recommended By Asa from our wedding venue list of vendors. We did our research on him…read moreand searched all of the sites that may have had any reviews of him and I will say that we were not disappointed one bit! Asa was professional and precise from start to finish! He me us via virtual chat (since we are still in a pandemic) and wanted to just break the ice and go over the process and packages that we would like for our wedding. Everything was decently priced and was explained in detail by Asa. On our wedding day we went for the 2nd photographer and I am glad that we did because we wanted to capture the moments for my wife just as much as the moments of myself leading up to the ceremony. We had plenty of shots to choose from and on top of that Asa created a photo album for us with selected shots that just made you feel like you were in a movie! The pics were just so crisp and the resolution of the pictures were awesome. My wife was very please with the results and we will definitely use Asa for future events! I just want to say that Asa was an AMAZING photographer for my wedding and provided great pictures and shots for us to remember the big day.

He absolutely delivered on this. He was incredibly easy to work with on all aspects; from being super responsive, to making us feel comfortable while taking the photos, to producing beautiful images. He also turned around the proofs and final photos very quickly.

Well. since you asked-- his name is Greg Gibson and he is awesome. He used to work for the Post as a photojournalist and even won a Pulitzer. He is super reliable and conscientious too. He tore his ACL the week before our wedding, but still showed (on crutches). He brought 3 assistants with him so we had a team of photographers. I called them "Team Photog" all day.

We hired Sam for our engagement and wedding photoshoot, and we received excellent pictures for both…read moreevents. He did a great job at capturing our happy moments. Sam was also personally a great person to work with. He made us feel very relaxed and we never felt rushed during our photoshoot. Sam also went above and beyond to meet our requests. We came a away with some excellent photos and a great relationship with an awesome person. If we ever need a photoshoot again or need to recommend a photographer to a friend, Sam will be the first photographer to come to mind.

I initially found Sam while browsing social media for potential wedding photographers about a year…read morebefore our wedding. I'm personally not a fan of the stereotypical glammed out wedding photos where a lot of hair/makeup/etc is required, and was looking for someone who could take more artistic, unique photos for us. So glad we found Sam, his work caught my eye from the start and as he continued to work with us through engagement photos and then the big day, it became super clear that he is an experienced professional and was the perfect fit for us! Neither my husband (still weird to say haha) nor I are easily relaxed in front of a camera, so it was pretty nerve wracking for us to even think about getting professional photos taken where we didn't look like hot messes. However Sam's super calm demeanor and clear direction made everything feel so easy. The day of, we had about 40 people for photos in a variety of spaces at the St. George Botanical Gardens in the US Virgin Islands, and Sam did an amazing job at crowd control. There was no sense of anxiety or rushing even though it's so hard to direct such a wandering large group of people. He was also totally open to the ridiculous poses we wanted to do for fun. We never felt any pressure to stand in or pose in places that felt difficult or unnatural for us. I also really appreciated his attention to detail during the shot setups, I'm sure something he's developed into second-hand nature through his career thus far. Sunglasses and purses were all appropriately out of view, boutonnieres and were perfectly in place with his direction, and we got some crazy artistic shots of us utilizing the colors and shapes and textures around us so well. Ultimately, it was his unique techniques that resulted in absolutely stunning and mind-blowing photos that are so cool to have for the rest of our lives. While Sam's work speaks for itself, we really had such an enjoyable experience having such a wonderful photographer who wasn't too intrusive but firm enough with herding our crazy friends into place to get the best shots. Without us even really noticing his whereabouts throughout the day, he gave us over 1000 absolutely fantastic photos from our wedding day and he worked solo with minimal equipment - really goes to show how his work is seated in pure skill. Several of our friends are already expressing interest in hiring him for their weddings in the future, and I'm also thinking about what future events we could have him join us for again.

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.
