Best Studio Photographers in Washington, DC

We could not recommend Seagull enough. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and her photos are brilliant. She took the time to speak with us before the shoot to get a sense of what we were looking for, provided advice on what to wear. Great to work and would highly recommend.

New York Film Studios is simply an amazing team of photographers! They are very friendly, funny, and co-operative which makes you very comfortable to interact with the crew during your photoshoot. The photographer respects your ideas and tries to bring out the best in every photo. The photo delivery was superfast - we got our photos in 48 hours. I definitely recommend them to anyone without a shred of doubt. Cheers!

If you’re reading this right now, you’re probably in the midst of planning your wedding. You probably have 10 other tabs open to other photographers’ websites as you try to decide who you want to capture your special day. CLOSE THOSE OTHER TABS. Girish is the photographer you want, without a doubt. The photos he took for my wedding were beautiful and with impeccable timing. He’s so easy and great to work with – clear, fun, communicative, professional but friendly.

great service by virdee paaji & rinku paaji. We had a small wedding due to covid-19 but there was not a moment that was missed due to great video and picture capturing. I can easily share my wedding experience with my friends & relatives that could not attend. They worked diligently and I would recommend them for other functions. Thank you for a great experience.

Soo much for doing amazing job

Virdee Films was great to work with! They were very professional and showed up on time to the events and took a bunch of pictures. One thing I was very impressed by is the video footage and album that was given to me. Very professional photos and video. The album was absolutely stunning. One thing I would critique is editing with photos

Parwinder and Virdee Films worked so diligently with us during our most special days. It was truly our pleasure—their experience, passion, and dedication truly came through in their work with us—from guiding us during our first engagement shoot, to giving us the time we needed during our events, to making sure they gave us more time so we had beautiful footage for our surprise video.Months prior to the start of our wedding festivities, I remember how stressful it was to choose a photographer/videographer with so many options available. But from the first communication I had with Parwinder, I just knew that I wanted to work with him and his team. The communication was excellent, and he made us feel at ease for all our events. He never hesitated to help or provide few extra pictures when I needed them in advance of an event or for our nytimes article.Although we have not seen all our event photos or video, we were very pleased with the surprise video Virdee Films had in store for us at our reception. We hope to use Virdee Films again for our future family portraits, and also recommending them to all our family and friends!

Working with Virdee & his team was a pleasure! He worked around my schedule at all times and was super easy to communicate with. We are so glad we chose to work with him for our big day. Our big day was stressful enough, and virdee made sure he captured all special elements of my wedding without me even having to ask him. All of our shoots came out soo good. We had all of our guest asking us who our photographer was. Everyone loved our trailer that we played during our reception. I would work with Virdee and his teams in the future again. I am so glad we came across such a nice and humble man like Virdee.

Always an amazing experience, I used to go and work in Virdee Films studios as photographer assistant and every time it's like being at home. For photographers there are all the tools and facilities for models and stylist, huge studios set up with all you need for a professional photo shoot. Also it has a small restaurant to get a fancy lunch break. Highly recommended!

The team at Virdee films did an outstanding job. Their attention to details is excellent. Parwinder was very warm and professional from the time we approached him and till the very end of celebration. I would highly recommend Virdee Films if you wish to capture the amazing moments of your life. Number of STARS doesn't do justice since they went above and beyond. Thank you to Virdee’s team for providing excellent service. We definitely recommend them.

Would honestly highly recommend Virdee films for any occasion, engagements, birthdays, anything! Parwinder goes above and beyond for his clients! He is very professional and his work is extremely high quality. My husband and I couldn’t have found a better team to capture our wedding day. Virdee films, thank you again ??, Jibin

We recently hired Firefly photographer for our son's graduation party and everyone LOVED the photos! They delivered high quality photos and were very patient with our needs. Worth the money!

Do yourself a favor and book New York film studios. Look no further because you found the best photographer, and you will not be disappointed. I requested faster delivery so the studio delivered all my amazing photos next day. That is the fastest I have seen in my life.

New York Film Studios is truly the best in the business! We were lucky enough to have Girish with us on our housewarming day and he was nothing but kind, fun, efficient, and captured our special day with such poise and elegance. Girish was SO great to work with and he worked extremely well, I HIGHLY recommend choosing them for your event.

I truly cannot say enough good things about New York Film Studios and their team! I HIGHLY recommend these people for any special event you want photographed or videogrphed!!

Girish was an amazing photographer for our daughter's wedding! He captured every moment and every sentiment perfectly and was an outstanding professional! His expertise and artistic talent documented and captured the emotion of beautiful memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you for these photographic treasures, Girish!

Wow. Such beautiful photography taken on our wedding day! She captures amazing candid shots and provides you with so many pictures in the end. They are all so beautiful and we are so lucky we had Girish, who is so artistic and talented, to capture all the special moments on our wedding day! Amazing! And love the black and white classic options! Thank you again Girish!

Not enough good things can be said about Girish! He was our photographer for our engagement shoot and he was absolutely amazing-from beginning to end. He was very easy to work with, professional, and made us feel comfortable throughout the process. Thank you Girish.

There are simply not enough stars in the universe to capture the essence of Girish's vision, talent, skill, personality and professionalism. Girish was our photographer for our micro-wedding and couples’ photos and she went above and beyond to capture the details, gave us direction throughout the process, and delivered on every point. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for tasteful, elegant, and timeless photos of their special occasions.

Girish was our photographer for our wedding and he was simply amazing. He was so easy to work with from beginning to end. The day of the wedding he came on time and was ready for a long day with all of my guests. He is extremely professional, talented and nice person and will make you feel so comfortable taking pictures. He is detail oriented and made sure to catch all of the special moments from that day. If you are looking for a 5-star photographer for your wedding Girish is the one! He is extremely passionate and caring and wants the couple to feel their best on their day and will do whatever it takes to make sure of that. Thank you so much Girish & New York Film Studios!

Ali and his team at The Luxury Photography are the most talented and kindest people I’ve ever worked with. Ali is so extremely talented, and has given us the most stunning wedding photos to look back on.

Ali Altaweel is not only a subpar photographer at best, he is also a notorious thief. His photographs contained no pictures of the cocktail hour, no pictures of the venue, and overall low quality pictures. The video was another story, it looks like he spent 30 minutes editing the video and gave me a VERY VERY bad video that contained no shots of the very expensive wedding venue we had our event in. We had agreed to a price and written a contract with him and after my event was done I compensated him in the form of cash and a separate check prior to receiving any pictures. Ali then spent the next SIX MONTHS not sending me photos and providing me with bs reasons as to why. After all of this, Ali then had the audacity to take my check and mobile deposited it one time on 08/16/2021 and then took the very same check and cashed it in person at the bank on 02/16/2022. I have photographic evidence that he had used the check in two instances as well as the fraud report from the bank. Ali is a liar, a bad photographer/videographer, and most of all a no good thief. Before he claims he cashed the check on accident, we have tried to reach out to him for an explanation and he has gone ghost. This will be posted on all platforms with a copy of the checks and fraud report.

We hired Ali & his team for our wedding Jan 14th. We cannot say enough nice things about them. So incredibly professional, not to mention talented! Even our guests were raving about him and his team.

Best photographer in dmv area, he did my dental office pics and everyone just in love with his photos. I highly recommend him to all my customers and friends.

Amazing professional work! Highly recommend for photography and videography. Absolutely love his work!

I don't know where to begin because I can write a short novel on our candid, respected, too raw, awkward at times, honest and yet so refreshing relationship. I reached out to Justin about a year ago when I came across his IG page during my search for a wedding photographer. I instantly fell in love with his style and love for lights so I reached out for his availability and travel fees. His response to my inquiry was refreshing and left me lol'ing. I felt a connection right away and loved how I could talk comfortably with him via phone or email, which I think is an important criteria when you're looking for a photographer. After all, they will be capturing one of the most intimate moments of your life.

Justin is awesome! he is friendly and fun to work with. on our big day he made our photo sessions fun and enjoyable. He also followed us around to take lots of candid photos but was so subtle that the guests didnt even notice where he was while doing so! This resulted in many real moment photos and we were thrilled with the results!

If you are looking for a photographer to capture your special day with 0% stress or concern required from you, choose Justin. He was my wedding photographer last weekend, so I have had plenty of time to marinate in my thoughts—and I cannot find one single unsatisfactory thing about Justin and his work. A good friend of mine referred him to me after he did an amazing job with her wedding, and it was probably the best decision I made in regards to wedding planning. Despite our wedding date being moved three times due to COVID, Justin was accommodating, highly responsive, energetic, and communicative. On the days leading up to the wedding, he set up video calls with me to go over details. Then, on the day of, he showed up on time, coordinated with all of my other vendors, and literally just took care of everything. Not once did I have to look for him or raise concerns about capturing any special moments, because Justin was already ahead of me (he is very fast—both mentally and physically lol). I also tend to be a little awkward in front of the camera, but with Justin’s directions, I never once had to think about where to look, how to place my hands, nor force a smile. And honestly, the best part about it all is that he was genuinely having a blast while working and truly vibing with every single guest we had, while maintaining absolute professionalism. And just a mere 5 days after the wedding, Justin sent me a bunch of preview photos to enjoy while I wait for the rest. ONLY FIVE DAYS! And most importantly, the preview photos were just incredible and brought back all of the emotions I felt on the day of because he had captured them so well in his photography. I cannot express in words how grateful I am for Justin photographing the most beautiful moments of our wedding day.

I can say that because we booked him in 2018 for a 2020 wedding and because of Covid we ended up delaying and eloping in 2021 and throwing a Happily Ever After party in 2022.Justin was so accommodating and photographed both the elopement and the party. I can not say enough good things. He is professional, clearly very talented, and so friendly that I absolutely do not understand how you can not be friends with him at the end of working with him. His chill and fun attitude is infectious. Our guests loved him. He has an eye for catching the little candid things and we were able to see the wedding in the eyes of our guests. The loving moments, the hidden tears, some funny guest expressions, and the crazy dancing. We trusted him with chronicling our elopement and our party and we were absolutely right to do that - the photos are priceless

Febe was my photographer & Aaron was my videographer. It poured down rain on my wedding day & they both used it to their advantage to create unique & beautiful photo & video. My whole experience from start to finish was great. They kept me updated & were prompt the day of. I’m so thankful to have my beautiful wedding photos & video to cherish forever.

We were thrilled with Levar from Precious Pics as our wedding photographer. He took beautiful photos for us and he seemed genuinely happy for us on our wedding day! As the bride and groom, having your photo taken for like 4 hours straight is surprisingly exhausting! So we really appreciated Levar's positive energy and encouragement. Maureen and Alice, our customer service reps from Precious Pics, kept in regular contact with us over the 7 months between hiring them and our wedding. They would reach out proactively to check in, and they'd always respond to our questions very quickly. Once we were connected with Levar closer to our wedding date, we were able to text and call him to discuss what we wanted from our photos. We are so glad that we went with Precious Pics and we would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

In our opinion, the pictures we received back from Precious Pics are not professional grade. We have had other photographers, event coordinators, family members and friends review our engagement session gallery and they were all in agreement the pictures were not up to par with industry standards.

I had a great experience with Precious Pics Production! Highly recommend it

Precious pics did an exceptional job! We are so happy with their work, they made our special day so much more special with the videos and pictures they took, Slava did an amazing job and was so accommodating, from their customer service Dana and Val were always available and so easy to work with, we definitely recommend them. Thank you so much PRECIOUS PICS for your amazing job

Make no mistake about it, New York Film Studios provides top notch photography and cinema services. I had the fortune to meet Girish in 2017 when he flew to Alaska to photograph my friend's wedding. I immediately noticed his attention to detail and his desire to produce photos with artistic merit; not just your standard wedding photos. A year later I got married and hiring Girish was easily the best decision I made throughout the whole process. He’s a true professional who actually cares. Needless to say, I would zealously recommend New York FIlm Studios to anyone.

Loved our experience with New York Film Studios! Girish is fun to work with and the results speak for themselves! Even my hubby enjoyed our session, and he is the guy who doesn't like to be photographed! Highly recommend Girish, an amazing photographer!!

We LOVE working with Girish! He's a great collaborator and is amazing at realizing any/all ideas. Super attentive and overall a great human, so it's always fun to work with him. Highly recommend New York Film Studios.

Amazing Real Photographer and great with kids! Our family had a blast with Girish and didn't feel stressed at all! He's a natural at making everyone feel comfortable and coming up with ideas on the spot.

What a wonderful experience! I am so happy with the professionalism, friendliness, care, and gorgeous images from my time with New York Film Studios. It is so meaningful to be able to capture such a special time in our family's life. These are images that we will cherish forever!

candid) book them now. We are in love with our photos and EVERYONE has made comments about how stunning they are. We cannot thank them enough!

It was very easy, professional, and reasonable working with Matt Daniel for our daughter’s birthday party photography. Would definitely recommend his services and come back!

It was really awesome working with Matt. He is very easy to work with and understands your requirements. Very Reliable, Punctual and very well organized. If you want to have excellent photographer without any stress, I would highly recommend him. He is very reasonable and can try to work with your price range. Thumbs up to Matt and his services.

I have been in the Northern Virginia area for over 2 decades. Hosted many personal and business events. After meeting and working with Matt he became my go to person for all your future personal and business events. He is resourceful, an artist with his skilled photography, a DJ to rock your party and a professional who is kind and honest about his business practice.

We had Matt Daniel from Ignite photograph our daughter’s Baptism ceremony. Matt did a fantastic job of arriving on time, discuss, setup and capture the entire ceremony from start to finish in precision. Throughout the ceremony he was calm, composed and even took outstanding pictures of our guests. I plan to have Matt as my official photographer for all my family events. Thanks for the great job done.
