Chip Dizard Studios is amazing!! We chose Chip to shoot our maternity pictures as we prepare to…read morewelcome our rainbow baby because I'd seen his work, worked with him previously, and new that he'd be able to capture this very special moment in our lives exactly as I wanted. Working with Chip was so much fun. It was quick (which is important when you're hot and 8 months pregnant) but not rushed and his laid back personality took the pressure off of us trying to be "models". We took our photos on a Saturday and received our beautiful portfolio the following Wednesday. The pictures are amazing, more than I even imagined and I may have shed a tear or two. I 100% recommend going with Chip Dizard for your photography/maternity shoot needs. I love the entire portfolio and would not hesitate to use him and his team again. They were great. We enjoyed the shoot but just as important to us, we also enjoyed our time with him and his team! Book them!!

We hired Sergei and Patrick to help us shoot a video about our research center. They were very…read moreprofessional and delivered everything on-time. I would also like to give major props to Patrick, who was happy to be super collaborative about the editing process and let me come sit in while he put most of it together (our team is very opinionated). I was also stunned at the amount of usable footage (interviews & b-roll) we were able to collect in two days - we have nearly 10 hours of it. We will definitely be back for second cuts to the same footage and for future projects.

They were reliable, professional, and most importantly dedicated to finding creative solutions that exceeded our expectations. The team kept everything flowing smoothly in order to meet our extremely tight deadlines, and we ended up with some meaningful products that our organization will continue to use down the road. It's been a pleasure working with DMV Productions and we look forward to our next project together!

I used M32 Productions for my wedding videography. Loved it! Matthew was a pleasure to work with,…read moreand I felt very comfortable with him during the planning process. He was very unobtrusive on my big day--I didn't even know he was there and I got some great shots. The video montage was beautiful and we watch it all the time. His prices are very affordable as well!

I highly Paul for any of your DJ needs! We found him on Yelp and Weddingwire and asked if we could…read morewatch him DJ locally to see how he performs and he provided us details on the time and location. He has a very simple and efficient set up with lights and sound systems. What was really impressive for us were the music videos that he played that went with the music. Once we saw that and saw/heard his transitions we knew he was the DJ we wanted. We had an unusual theme for our wedding, we did a costume theme "Talk Nerdy to Me" and Paul was not only happy to work with us, but he also had some awesome ideas on how to truly make it our own. With the video screen package, he was able to do movie/you tube clips and a slide show. When it came to getting strange and unusual music, Paul was able to do it with no issues. We asked for quite a few songs that were not in his database including traditional Chinese and Estonian Country music and he was able to get it with no issues. His online planning system made it really easy for us to put our Ceremony and Reception plan together. All of my guests LOVED the music choices. Part of it was our doing in putting together a song list, and part of it was Paul reading the party and playing accordingly. He even accommodated my niece's request for the Hokie Pokie. Don't take my word for it, Weddings are not the gigs he does in the DC area. Watch him in action and see for yourself. I feel that if other businesses book him on a regular basis, he is probably a good choice for your wedding. I am really glad I acted on this assumption, and had a chance to work with Paul. He has my highest recommendations.

Paul Garza DJed our wedding last Friday and did an amazing job. First of all, we only hired Paul…read moreabout a month beforehand because up until then, we thought my husband's friend would be able to DJ for us. At the last minute, he wasn't going to be able to get his equipment out to us in time so I found Paul and reached out to him. Paul told me he was available and met with us in person. He was reasonably priced and we couldn't have lucked out better for a last minute booking. Even though our friend couldn't DJ, Paul let him do all of the introductions which was really sweet. He even let our friend take the reigns and do a couple songs! Paul never felt like our friend was stepping on his toes and we really appreciated that he let us do that. Paul kept the party going from the beginning. I've had so many people since the end of our wedding telling me how great our DJ was. We had a weird mix of twenty somethings and sixty somethings with not much in between. Even still, Paul was able to judge the crowd and keep people dancing. I don't think there was a second all night long that people weren't all over the dance floor! His online portal is very straight forward and easy to use. I was able to put in many details and everything we wanted to hear was played at our wedding. Paul is also not one of those DJs that keeps interrupting songs to talk. He knew when it was appropriate to interject and when it wasn't. My husband commented that this was one of his favorite things about Paul: his professionalism on and off the dance floor. Definitely consider Paul Surreal Entertainment for your next event - you won't regret it!

I had the pleasure of working with Creative Ideation and photographer/videographer Serena Kefayeh…read morefor our recent ADU & Monogram spa event at the Ritz-Carlton Tysons, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Serena captured the day beautifully, taking stunning photos in the morning and transitioning seamlessly into videography for the rest of the event. Her professionalism, creativity, and eye for detail were evident in every shot. The final images were absolutely spectacular, and the video footage was equally impressive. She even went the extra mile by creating a social media reel for us, which turned out beautifully and captured the spirit of the day perfectly. Serena is truly wonderful to work with--easygoing, communicative, and incredibly talented. I highly recommend Creative Ideation to anyone looking for top-tier photography and video work.
