    Definitely a 10/10 experience.. they give you the cameras and you go around taking pictures. You come back and they walk you through the process of developing them.. the vibe was amazing. The music was perfect.. definitely on my list of things to do again!'

    Great place!! If you're looking for something to do in the area. Staff is friendly & very informative. Nice music playing & a great place to hang out! 10/10 recommend. Owner accomadated us though we were late due to traffic. Also note, the pictures will be in black & white but still turned out amazing

    In July, my partner and I, took a little trip down to silver springs Maryland primarily because we wanted to try this spot! AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We had such an incredible time. We went on a Friday early afternoon and the staff was just so nice and incredible. They did a little photo shoot of us- together and separate! I DO NOT LIKE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED but they did such a wonderful job of hyping us up and getting us comfortable. They gave us some poses to look at and really walked us through the whole thing. Then they gave us the negatives - taught us how to develop, and we got to develop our very own photos. It was so cool and really brought out the creative side of me. It was such a fun experience for us both and made our trip so memorable. We got to see just how they get developed and do it ourselves!! You don't need any experience - they will help you through every step. All the staff there is so sweet and they have amazing taste in music. 10/10 would recommend and will be doing again

    Today proved that big things, do come in small packages. I was walking up Fenton street in silver spring to grab something to eat and noticed the most eye catching storefront. I decided to step inside because who doesn't want to get more details with a name like "Sip & Develop"! When entered I was greeted by a bubbling staff, who was excited to explain the gem they have on Fenton street. I appreciated that it just wasn't about giving me a flier. I was able to tour the dark room and see how visitors who sign up for this great event, create amazing "reel" live work(get it), that goes on in the dark room. Wait until you see the front space, it's a must see. They have a 360 camera! Guest can hang out in the lounge area before going on to take photos and guided into development of the actual real live film. This is a great concept for our children, who never knew what it was like, to put your film in the shop and wait a week for them to come back in your hand. Great for bday parties, girls or guys night out or just because. Oh and you can bring what you like to sip on, to your session

    See all

    This was such a great time. Watching the photos develop and experiencing the darkroom was definitely a vibe!

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!

    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.

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.

    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. We are so glad that we did! The pictures came out amazing and we hardly knew she was there. I would have paid twice as much for the album and digitals that we ordered. Pamela is very professional and will make sure you get every picture that you want. She also captured hundreds of other amazing artistic shots that I would have never dreamed of. Bottomline- if you are having a wedding in the DC area, or want photos for another occassion or corporate event, go with Pamela!

    Why yelp did you remove this review???…read more The fotographer is amazing. I googled him and after meeting with him I was impressed with his credentials and his demeanor. He certainly wasn't the cheapest but he had the most impressive body of work. We hired him for our quinceanera, and did he deliver. My daughter unfortunately takes after her mother-inlaw. She will hopefully have a successful career in radio. However Matt turned her into a cinderella and we couldn't be any happier with the photographs. Mucho Gracias hombre and stay thirsty!

You'll see a…read morelot of candids, weddings, celebrities... but Matt has a soft spot for animals and I believe some of his greatest pieces are the moments he captures with people and their dogs. So much so that I have four of his black and whites up in my dining room. The first thing people notice when entering that room are the photographs. The first time I saw his work was at McLean Animal Hospital. He used to be a photographer with UPI and began working for himself. There were some postcards about the artist in the waiting room so I took one and got in touch. At the time I had a specialty retail store and I called to let him know he's welcome to display his work there. It added so much to the decor and feel of the place. Matt's a longtime local boy from Arlington whose photography has taken him around the world. If you're looking for a way to really capture something special, get in touch with him.
