Steven Wu Photography - Grand Central Station

Steven Wu Photography

Dupont Circle, Downtown

We decided to go to Steven Wu after checking out his yelp reviews and made a few inquiries through…read moreemails and phone calls, and we are very happy with the experience. Over the phone, steven took time to get to know you and your story, try to get a sense of what kinda pictures/portrait you are looking for and record your story through the lens. We did both city hall wedding and a private 2 hours outdoor shooting on Long island. As always, he arrived early ( earlier than us). City Hall Wedding For most couples, it's prob. their first time, so having a wedding photographer who is patient and experienced with the process definitely ease a lot of the stress. I remember Steven kinda walk me through the process over the phone before the court wedding date, giving your tips that actually helped a lot. The actually "ceremony" is quick, but sometimes the wait can be a little long, he really takes time to capture each moment for you along each step of the process. Outdoor Shooting I told Steven that I love nature, and I like artsy/cool pictures. Steven suggested morning/evening time where the light has a lot of variety. For me, he is sort of an impressionist, trying to capture beauty throughout the changing light. He is creative, and also open for suggestions. We loved our pictures. Notes: Pictures in this review were downsized, and I changed a little contrasts and light (so you can't see our faces). Ask Steven for some portfolio work, which you can get a better sense of his styles (and maybe some pose ideas).

Steven Wu is an incredibly talented photographer! My S.O. and I made a trip with our family (we…read morelive in California) to New York over the summer in May. It was my S.O.'s first trip and my millionth time to NYC. Our family had already decided that we were getting engaged and having our engagement party this upcoming November. I wanted to make this trip memorable, as it was his first trip, so we decided to do our engagement photos in NYC! I researched photographers almost everyday for a month when I stumbled upon Steven and his amazing reviews! We don't regret hiring Steven! He was absolutely amazing! We had been together for 6 years and we never did any type of photo shoot together. Our shoot was on a Friday morning in Grand Central Station and then in Central Park. Imagine a typical Friday morning at Grand Central. It is very, very, very busy and packed. We met up with Steven there and he asked us to go stand in the middle, of what seemed like thousands of people, and go pose. Needless to say, we felt SO awkward doing that. The second Steven started talking to us, we got so comfortable. The whole time we were with Steven, we only noticed him and each other. He made us totally forget how nervous we were and made us forget about the hundreds of people walking by and staring at us. I recall him saying he was in technology or something before he started doing photography but I swear, he must have some training in psychology because he like hypnotized us into feeling so calm and comfortable. Once he started clicking, we were so calm and at peace. We just focused on each other and the hilarious conversations we were having with Steven. Gosh, he kept us so entertained & happy! He truly is such an amazing man!!! I researched photographers for a whole month and am so glad I found Steven! I couldn't imagine a better photographer. And as far as the pictures go, they turned out AMAZING!!! For our first ever photo shoot, they were the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen! NY has such a special place in my heart and I'm so pleased that Steven was the one who captured my S.O. and I's first trip there! I would very highly recommend Steven to anyone who is looking to engagement pictures, family photos, party or wedding photography, anything and everything! You will not regret hiring him!

Rachel was a great photographer and I highly recommend her work. She took photos of my engagement…read moreproposal and judging from my fiancee's reaction, I would say Rachel nailed it. From the beginning, Rachel was easy to contact and responded to any questions promptly. She was very clear and thorough when discussing the entire process and did a great job planning ahead. For example, she looked up when the sun would set on the day of my proposal which determined the best time to take stunning photos. Moreover, she went with me to pick the perfect location (on a 100 degree day no less). Signing the contract and paying her was also super easy and done all online. On the day of the proposal, she was exactly where I wanted her to be. She got some amazing photos of the actual proposal and then did about 45 minutes of other pictures. That night she edited and sent us 5 beautiful pictures that we sent to friends and family. Seven days later, while she was on vacation, Rachel edited and sent us the rest which were exceptional. Finally, for an extra nice touch, she bought us dessert at the restaurant where we celebrated our engagement. I was pretty nervous planning this whole process, but Rachel made it easy and had great ideas. Overall, we could not be more impressed with her work and would definitely ask her to be our photographer again.

Rachel was so wonderful to work with! From the moment we submitted an inquiry to when we received…read moreour pictures, she was so friendly, professional, and organized. She had lots of suggestions and ideas on location and the timing to optimize the sunlight during the winter that we really appreciated. Rachel also directed us on how to pose without making it seem awkward, and we loved how the pictures turned out. She is very responsive to emails and got our pictures back to us way quicker than we anticipated. You can tell Rachel has a passion for what she does and all the people she works with, we loved working with her and highly recommend!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND…read more Joe was EXTREMELY helpful with all of my requests. Excellent customer service from start to finish. Amelia was my on-site attendant and was wonderful! My guests had an amazing time using the photo-booth! It was worth every penny. Loved how I was able to work with their team to create the design I wanted for the print outs. I can't wait to book Party Favor Photo again and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking.

I really hate leaving negative reviews for small businesses, but sometimes you come across certain…read morebusinesses that leaves you wondering how/why they are in business at all. My husband and I just got married and we hired Joe Lee from Party Favor Photo for Photo Booth services for our wedding. We did not experience any issues leading up to the event. Joe was quite responsive, friendly, and accommodating, and his prices seemed very reasonable for the quality and service so we were quite pleased and excited for Party Favor Photo to be at our event. However, there were some hiccups and miscommunications during the event that my husband and I were dissatisfied with. For one, the photo booth attendant set up about 30 minutes late. Another issue was that the attendant printed the first few photos in color, although we contracted for black and white photos. They were able to resolve this quickly once we realized the issue, so no harm no foul. However, the software continued to be glitchy and crashed several times throughout the night. Some of our photos turned out dark and fuzzy as well. After the wedding, I reached out to Joe to express our disappointment and he responded completely unprofessionally. He accused me and my husband of being cheap customers who didn't want to spring for a more expensive package, which was the reason for the issues. And upon seeing a negative review from one of our guests, Joe jumped to the conclusion that it was my husband who wrote the review and deleted all the photos from our online gallery. He also threatened to sue us for defamation. If it hadn't been for Joe's poor response, I would have given his business a 3 or 4 star review. I am now down to 1 star because of his terrible attitude and unprofessionalism. Edit: the business owner's response to this review is quite telling. Please do not be fooled by his lies.

We are likely leaving the area in early 2014 so I wanted to have some professional photos done of…read moremyself with my husband and our greyhound to commemorate our time here. After doing some online research and talking with a few photographers I decided to work with Stacey. We met in Old Town Alexandria one Saturday afternoon in October. I was nervous at first but shortly into our photo session I felt at ease as Stacey is friendly, professional and fun, not to mention amazing at what she does! She was also great with our greyhound and got some adorable shots of him. Stacey has a wonderful eye for light and color and found a lot of unique backgrounds for our photos. Our online gallery was available after about a week and a half and the results were fantastic! Soon after, Stacey scheduled a free consultation with us to view all our photos on the large computer screen that she has and to help us pick out which prints and framing options we wanted to put up in our home. She even helped us decide how best to place the photos on the wall. We received all our prints last week and have gotten our framed prints up on the wall, we couldn't be happier! If we were staying in the area I would absolutely work with Stacey again in the future.

Stacey is amazing. I first met her through a friend that was organizing a head shots evening for…read morelots of professional friends, so I bought 15 min in a studio with Stacey and got the best headshot that has come in so very handy many times. 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!
