This guy is a true artist. Check out his site (currently being revamped) or his blog. 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.

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!

Abram shot our wedding in July, and did an amazing job. He is very laid back and easy to work…read morewith, and really aims to give his a clients a product they will enjoy for years to come. Abram's photo-journalistic style makes him almost invisible during the actual event, and yet, he seemed to get shots of every part of the day we wanted. He has a quick trigger, and an uncanny eye for those candid moments you'll want to remember. The custom album he created for us is awesome, and all of this for an incredibly reasonable price. Abram is new to the DC area, so I would suggest booking him now, before he really blows up.

Abe was the second shooter at my wedding in New York City in March 2013. He was extremely pleasant…read moreand easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and worked with me on a shot list and timing that ensured we'd capture the best moments on our big day. In addition to all the photos I requested, he also caught amazing details that I would have never thought to include. Plus, he communicated directly with and worked alongside our primary photographer with ease and professionalism. I know she's considered working with him on additional events as she was impressed with his work. We also worked with him on our photo books, which we gave as a gift to our parents this Christmas. The result was absolutely stunning and we'd recommend him without hesitation.

The chemistry between Billy and Taylor was perfect for how well they got a long, and could figure out what you were imagining in yoThey were extremely organized, always were available to chat, and when planning a wedding this is crucial and gave such peace of mind. Everyone was asking About them during our reception. Their team just fit perfectly with them, and they felt like part of our wedding party . I will forever recommend them to anyone who needs GREAT work done, and will definitely use them in the future. They captured our wedding like the dream we always imagined.

5 stars all the way…read more So let's be honest, I might be a little bias on this review because I have known Bill for a few years. But I'm glad I do, this is about character and seeing it lived out. I do not endorse people I do not believe in and I am absolutely endorsing Bill at Whole Heart Studios because I believe in what he is doing. I am also a customer, Bill took my Professional headshot for work. He made me laugh, gave different angles to pose to, and I immediately got to see what shots he took. He even edited some of the photos by my recommendation. I easily would have paid $300 for the work he did. His prices were more than reasonable and the fact that he gave his personal touch to me, I highly recommend him and I have referrals on the way. Absolute pro till the end. Thanks Bill for helping me step up my game!

I went to Marais photography for my daughters first birthday (dohl) photos and can't say enough…read moreabout how amazing it was! They were so accommodating and professional throughout the entire experience. They have the most beautiful hanbok and accessory collections- there's something for everyone. The owner hand makes dresses and gorgeous accessories- everything was stunning! From purchase to rentals, everything was brand new and clean. I was VeRY impressed. I've shopped around a few korean studios for this, and Marais was the BEST! Pictures came out beautiful- this was my daughter's 5th photoshoot (with various photographers), and these were hands down the best pictures we got! We will be back for sure for future photo shoots and hanbok shopping!!!

Will update my review once I receive the photos, but so far, they've given me a five star service…read more I contracted them for my baby's dol. They communicated with me before my event and spent time with my mother-in-law showing her around their studio, patiently answering all of her questions. They also provided us with a photo table after we requested it at no charge to us. They arrived earlier than their stated time for the event and set up beautifully. They were also non-intrusive during the party and were extra patient, even though my baby hadn't slept that day and was extremely crabby. I was sooo happy with their decorations--everything was beautiful!

She knew exactly what to do to calm him and take some truly beautiful pictures. All the poses were absolutely gorgeous. I think baby pictures are an investment because this is a special moment that you only get once. Jessica beautifully captures this moment with absolutely stunning photos. I recommend her to everyone and hope to one day use her again to capture another family milestone!

It's a low-light room where historical documents are displayed and no personal photography is allowed for their protection (no flash). Carol was easy to work with, engaging with my guests, and I am thrilled with the end result. Her price was fair, and although I can buy prints through her site, she did not require me to. She was very responsive, friendly and captured beautiful images of a treasured memory I can hold on to forever. Highly recommend!

Not only is he an absolute pleasure to be around (making brides feel relaxed and beautiful!) but the quality of his work is top notch. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and really capture the vibe of our wedding--romantic and FUN! He even woke up early the day after our epic party and took us to Old San Juan to for some newlywed shots. With the climate, I was worried that all our photos would be me sweating profusely and looking terrible. Had we hired a less skilled photographer, that almost surely would have been the case. But luckily, we had Stephen who made certain that every photograph captured us at our best. My husband and I just welcomed a baby boy and I can't wait to share these photos with him when he is older.

I adore Stephen. He did head shots for me and documented my best friend's kid's birthday party…read more Stephen is laid back and unobtrusive. He has a great background in portrait work but also has the talent to document an event in a photo journalistic style. You won't be disappointed - so book him now!
