The photos from our wedding are even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Taz and Kamil captured so many precious moments. In addition to taking beautiful photos, Taz and Kamil we're so nice, professional, and easy to work with! My husband and I don't like to be the center of attention, but Taz was so great at giving us direction and everything just felt so natural. I can't say enough good things about Taz and Kamil!

They managed to capture beautiful, tender and funny moments all throughout the day without ever making it super obvious that they were snapping pictures so I didn't seize up and act phony. Our photos are gorgeous and authentic and I think they managed to get beautiful shots of every one of our guests! The USB of images and prints they sent after the wedding were just perfect. No detail was left out! Best of all? They caught the most beautiful picture of our cat (which I'm considering wallpapering our apartment with, haha)

I was very happy with Irina's attention to detail and with the outcome of the final product. I would recommend Irina to other entrepreneurs and have already done so. Irina was able to effectively explain the benefit of personal brand photography and how it could help me reach my goals. Thank you so much, Irina. I had a wonderful experience and am so happy I decided to do the story session with you.

What she uses professional cameras to take photos not toys. She did a photoshoot for my daughter from another marriage and she did an incredible job.

I had a senior session for my daughter which was ok. The prices are rather steep considering the…read morequality of the photos. The photographer uses a camera that you or I could invest in and the "natural" lighting for photos outside of the studio. The studio shots made my daughter's face look very greasy from all the lighting used in the space of the studio. The pricing changed several times and the deal on Yelp was not provided to me although the photographer said it was. I would definitely shop around and/or ask all the questions you have in writing before signing a contract. I am cutting my losses with the actual sitting fee cost I paid. I WILL NOT be purchasing ANY of the photos from this photographer. Nor will I use this photographer again in the future. I'd like to respond to the photographer's comment. The photographer does not know why I chose to provide my Yelp review now. However, I will share my reasons. After going back and forth with rescheduling a date for the session (once on my terms another on her's) we had the session in October. I purchased the discount deal on Yelp after consulting with the photographer and her asking me where I found her (I found her on Yelp). She just said ok. When we spoke afterwards and I informed her I purchased the deal on Yelp. She tells me she already gave me a discount. During the consultation the photographer asked if it would be an indoor/outdoor session. I exclaimed I would like both so she quoted me a session sitting fee quote for both. The photographer stated in her response to my review she gave me a discount for an indoor/outdoor session. She never stated at the time of the consultation it was for the Yelp discount or that you can only use one discount. I would have made the decision that worked out as the best deal. She provided the online gallery for my review. Before entering the online gallery to review the photos she has a rating/review pop up. In order for you to enter the photos for review you have to rate it review her. I've never seen business practices like this. If your confident about the work you provide you would allow you customers to rate/review you after they review your work. Some of the pictures were good (the offsite photos) others were awful. All the indoor shots in her studio were awful! The indoor studio shots were where all her cap and gown shots were taken. The photographer had an abundance of lighting in her studio and only used "natural" lighting for the gym and outdoor shots. Needless to say, as a "PROFESSIONAL" photographer you prepare and provide lighting regardless. I'm not sure how this photographer feels she went above and beyond for me but, myself along with my daughter were her assistants for the session. So if anyone went above and beyond...it may be the client. Here nor there, I took my lost on the sitting fee cost I paid her for her time. Her quality of photography is by no means the quality of going to a studio. Do your research and get everything in black and white so you do not get bamboozled for SERVICE, QUALITY and YOUR VISION!

My…read morehusband and I met Don and his wife at the end of 2013 and knew right away that we wanted to do business with Smithvideo. We could easily tell they were honest and genuine individuals. We compared a few other companies prior to finding Smithvideo Productions but the prices were too steep and we were not comfortable with hiring a videographer that we could not meet prior to our wedding day. To make a long story short; we met with Don and was impressed by his previous work and reasonable pricing. We signed the contract and keep in touch via email for months prior to the wedding; he was quick to address any question or concern I had. Once our big day arrived; we were assured that everything was set and ready to go! Don made sure to catch every highlight of the ceremony and the reception!! We love our wedding video and the 3-4 minute recap that we are able to share with our friends. In addition to the video and recap, we received our recap on a file that can be uploaded into iTunes to share using our iPhones and iPods. I can't say how blessed we were to have worked with Smithvideo Productions! My husband and I both highly recommend their services!

Steve and Jane did my engagement photoshoot and my wedding photography in northern Virginia in…read morespring 2018. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them! While we had a team of amazing vendors for our wedding, Steve and Jane are by far THE BEST CHOICE my husband and I made. We found them through a local wedding expo; by that time, we already had an excellent photographer in mind, but then we saw their pieces at the expo and could not get their artwork out of our heads. Steve and Jane are a wonderful couple who work seamlessly together. They're friendly, funny, professional, and just so easy to work with. We also LOVED their style of photography, especially how they use light to enhance their work. They are also extremely responsive, flexible, personable, and handled the crazy wedding schedule (especially the chaotic family portrait) calmly with zen. I think I would've broken down many, many times during the wedding day if it wasn't for them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for anyone who's looking for photographers who can take unique, timeless wedding photos. As a side note, Steve and Jane just opened their studio in Waldorf, Maryland. I loved working with them so much that if I need professional portrait in the future, I am definitely going to them!

I planned my wedding in less than three months (call me crazy-I wanted a summer wedding and didn't want to wait an entire year to get married from the time I was engaged) and found Steve and Jane at the Wedding Experience show in Dulles. First of all, they are my type of people! They say one of the most important things when choosing a photographer is finding someone you jive with and I just knew from the moment I met them both they were down to earth, cool people. They are passionate about what they do and it's so apparent every time we met. Our initial meeting was at a Starbucks in Capitol Hill, which they drove to from all the way out in MD, just to accommodate us. They came prepared with examples, a slideshow, printed books and armed with answers to every question we could think of at the time. They were also very responsive to emails and offered to chat/text whenever I had a question. Leading up to the date, I was extremely busy planning my wedding. One word of advice--be a good client, too! I was late with pretty much everything they asked me for (shot list, contact list) but they were super sweet about everything! They definitely can deal with a stressed out bride and groom very well! Our package included an engagement shoot but my fiance had to travel and then the one night it would have worked, it rained so I cancelled-again, very accommodating. I wish we would have had the time to do the engagement shots but it just didn't pan out! Hopefully we will do a shoot with them sometime in the near future! So, day of the wedding--pouring rain! My dream outdoor wedding was ruined and at the last minute we had to go with Plan B. Jane and Steve were prepped for the rain (we did a few shots outside under an umbrella with a light in it and let me tell you those pictures came out amazing!). They also worked extremely hard to keep me occupied and do a full-out bridal shoot due to some important members of our wedding party that were late. They went above and beyond to make our day extra special--they even helped pin flowers and fix my veil throughout the evening! I don't even know if they ate anything because they were constantly shooting (I have Italian guilt about this still)! They even stayed late because we ran over our time so much due to the wedding starting so late. They were by far the rockstar vendors of our wedding! On-time, professional, kind, worked well under pressure and did it all with a smile on their face! Fast-forward eight weeks and our pictures arrived via email on their site. I had a few questions about some shots and they addressed them right away. The pictures came out absolutely amazing!!!!!!!! I showed them to some of my friends and they told me they looked like pictures from a magazine. Steve and Jane, thank you for being so amazing, professional, fun and great at what you do! Brides-if you're looking for amazing photographers please give Steve and Jane a call.

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Nicole Marie Studios…read more I've now worked with Nicole across multiple sessions over the years, at both her previous location and now in her newer studio space, and every single experience has been exceptional in completely different ways. What stands out most to me is Nicole's ability to create an environment where people genuinely feel comfortable, confident, and seen. Whether she's working with adults, couples, or kids, she has this incredibly calming and encouraging presence that makes the experience feel natural rather than overly posed or intimidating. As someone who has worked with remarkable photographers before, I can honestly say Nicole's work feels different. There's an intentionality behind everything she does, from the atmosphere she creates during sessions to the way she guides posing, lighting, expression, and movement. That guidance has honestly defined sessions for me in ways past experiences with other photographers never quite achieved. She somehow directs you while still allowing you to feel completely like yourself. And then the galleries arrive and somehow exceed expectations all over again. Her images feel both elevated and deeply personal at the same time. Beautifully artistic and polished, while still capturing personality and emotion in a way that feels authentic rather than manufactured. I've also been incredibly impressed by the consistency across very different types of sessions over the years. That kind of versatility is genuinely rare. ****Her newer studio space deserves its own mention because it is absolutely stunning!!!!! It's her own private, secluded space that she has thoughtfully made her own, with walls of windows that flood the rooms with natural light, surrounded by trees, and even an outdoor shower. It feels less like a studio and more like a retreat, clearly designed around the client experience and warm and relaxed from the moment you walk in. The setting itself does so much of the work in helping you settle in and feel at ease before the camera is ever picked up. Beyond being exceptionally talented, Nicole is also simply a genuinely kind human being who clearly cares deeply about the people she works with, and I think that comes through in the final images more than anything else. Very, very grateful to have worked with her.
