Oh my gosh. Can't even put into words how beautiful, stunning, and flawless our photos and videos are. 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 read more

My husband and I used Rago Images for our headshots recently and loved the result. We felt very strongly that we wanted someone in the LGBTQIA community to work with and Rago was incredibly personable, professional, and talented. 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! read more

Rago Images - Some of the shots from my photo shoot. - Session Photography Near Me

I mean I honestly think his work speaks for itself so uploading a couple of photos here. He got my toddler to pose and smile and had some really fun ideas about composition. For a 30 min shoot we got a ton of variety of backgrounds and compositions. I am very happy with the results and feel like I have some really special photos to keep forever. Also he was all the fundamentals of professionalism... pleasant, punctual, responsive. read more

Rago is amazing! I did a quick photoshoot with him and he was able to capture so many images. He reached out the day before with details on the location and suggested I bring along some props. Once on the site, he even offered suggestions on accessorizing and posing. He is funny and makes you feel comfortable. I received my edits in three days and LOVED them.... it was hard not to select the entire pack! What a fun shoot, I can't wait to do another one. read more

Rago took our family photos last fall and they were honestly the best ones we've ever had! It was cold, windy, and we had 2 grumpy kids but the photos don't show that at all. He was amazing with our kids and just overall fantastic. The pictures turned our way better than we could've ever anticipated and we purchased the entire gallery. So many friends asked for his info after I posted them. Couldn't recommend Rago enough, we will be booking him again soon! read more

We had the honor to work with Rago! He was super efficient, created a comfortable environment, and was just a swell guy. I had contacted him for couples photos, and he offered flexible scheduling with me. Before the shoot he did ask us to bring some props, which I ended up forgetting about, but Rago came prepared and brought props for me and my girlfriend. Before the shoot, me and my girlfriend were pretty nervous. We haven't been too comfortable in front of the camera for couple shoots, but Rago's expertise and vision towards the pictures were well put. All he had to do was tell us what to do, and we were good! New to having your pictures taken, or a veteran with photographers, Rago is definitely one I can recommend to hire. He is fun, efficient, and respectful. read more

Rago took our family photos this year. Before our session, he communicated tips to make our session a success. When we met, he was punctual, personable and professional! We had a great time and have already sent his page to other friends, instagram.com/ragoimages read more

A very delightful experience. We have 2 small kids and having our photos taken with them have been quite challenging. Either they're crying or pouting. So we were prepared for same experience with Rago. Nope. Not even close. Our kids were engaging and a lot of smiles in the photos that it was impossible to choose just a few. Not only that Rago made our kids comfortable, but he shot some good photos of us, of the background and he even captured some of the rainbows from the sun in the photos! Our baby was very expressive and he got a lot of photos with his different expressions. That was one of the things I really liked. He was open to our ideas and poses we wanted and he made suggestions to what we could do. And when we received the photos, they were mixture of Candids and posed photos. We were utterly pleased. Whilst choosing which one we wanted to buy, we ended up buying the entire album! Highly recommended. read more

Rago did a fantastic job for our surprise engagement and engagement photos. He captured the moment perfectly, was proactive in planing, and very easy to work with. Thanks so much! read more

We had an excellent experience working with Rago and Shoott. We ended up moving our original location from the Tidal Basin (due to circumstances out of everyone's control) to a park in DC. However, although that was a bit disappointing, Rago and Shoott were very responsive and quickly notified us of the change. The location they selected was beautiful. There were beautiful blossoms that he was able to capture in our photos. The park had a good number of pets and people yet, Rago was able to avoid catching any of that. He was informative about everything we would need to bring to prepare for our shoot. When we arrived, he was on time, ready to work, and very friendly. Rago used our photo session time efficiently. He was great at directing us on where to stand and how to pose. That can be difficult with small children, but he was patient and kind. We love all of our pictures that we ended up purchasing the entire album. The turnaround time was also great! Overall, working with Rago was an excellent experience, and we will be sure to share his info with family and friends. read more

Videography was not a service we originally planned for in our budget. But couple after couple that we met who had one regret about their wedding would always say "the one thing I wish we had was a videographer". And we were so glad that we decided to hire one in the end. Our wedding day happened in the blink of an eye, so having that moment in time incapsulated in a video was a worthwhile investment. And we were so lucky to find and work with Rago. My husband and I are a same-sex, interracial couple. It was important for us to work with people who understands our difference in skin tones, but who also shares our values. Rago was a burst of energy that we needed in an otherwise chaotic day. He arrived on time and was ready to put in the work. Rago worked alongside and collaboratively with our photographers. They would give each other time and space to do their respective jobs. Before the ceremony, Rago would give us a lot of directions, getting the best shots and angles. The overall direction made for such a beautiful video in the end. The final product was more than we could ever ask for. It was shot so beautifully, and we have watched this many times over. The turn around time was exactly as promised and we couldn't be happier. Rago was truly the best person for the job, and we were so lucky to work with him! read more

Rago was so awesome for our family shoot! He reached out the day before with some suggestions & encouraged us to let him know what we had in mind. He was excellent with the kids & took many photos in different poses & backgrounds. It ended up raining during our shoot which I was kind of bummed about but he sent me some examples the night before on how we could make it fun. The shots came out so adorable with our umbrellas & rain boots. Thank you Rago! read more

I had a great experience working with Rago to take pictures of my college bff and I to celebrate 15 years of friendship. Rago recommended a great and convenient location for our shoot, and was there right on time. Neither my friend nor I are particularly comfortable with the camera, but Rago's calm and fun energy, as well as his expertise getting us acclimated with a variety of poses, meant that we had a great experience and eventually felt comfortable enough to even take a few more fun action shots. Not only did our photos turn out great, but we had a great experience that we still look back on fondly. read more

I had the pleasure of participating in a Shoott with Rago. I was a little nervous and frustrated, because I had a hard time finding the location we were scheduled to meet, and arrived late. Upon my arrival, Rago let me know that everything would be fine and it was. Not only was it fine, I had a wonderful shoot. Rago was energetic, thoughtful in the poses he suggested, confident, patient and kind. He allowed me to view the shots as we did them. I was not only pleased with the photos He took, I left feeling like a diva who worked the runway and had just completed a photo shoot for a magazine cover.
