    Saoussen was GREAT to work with for mine and my fiancé's surprise proposal shoot. She was an excellent communicator in the weeks leading up. As a quintessential guy, it was hard for me to explain what I was looking for as far as photos went. She was able to process my ideas with her own aesthetic spin and even work with a friend of mine to create the perfect proposal moment. The photos came in less than 3 weeks and were better than we could have imagined. We will continue to use and recommend Saoussen for all professional photography needs.

    My experience with Saoussen and District Photog was nothing short of phenomenal! From start to finish, Saoussen went above and beyond to make my surprise proposal to my girlfriend a complete success. This past June, my girlfriend (now fiance), Genna, and I made plans to visit Washington D.C. for a long weekend getaway at the end of September. Genna had never been out there and it had been several years since I'd been out there and, as we are both very interested in politics, we were very excited. As the date approached, I knew that I wanted to ask Genna to marry me the Saturday evening we were there. While I am certainly not the brightest bulb on the tree when it comes to planning a proposal, I knew that I needed a photographer to capture the occasion. Since we are from Minnesota, I turned to Yelp to select a photography service out in the DC area. I sent out several requests for pricing to the top-rated photographers and, based on the Yelp reviews I'd seen of her work, the price she quoted me, and her overall response to my request, I selected Saoussen - and couldn't be more glad that I did! Saoussen was an excellent communicator, who replied quickly to emails and was very professional. She made the booking process very easy and was incredibly helpful about answering all of my "guy" questions. She does require payment in advance (I used PayPal) and requires a signed contract, but she was very responsive to those areas, as well. The contract is very standard, easy to read, and details out what is expected of all parties. The contract requires giving photocredit whenever you post her work to social media, but her work is so good you'll definitely want to give her credit! Once Saoussen and I had determined the date, time, and location (Lincoln Memorial) of the proposal, and the paperwork/financials were all taken care of, we waited until the big day arrived. On the date of the proposal, Saoussen provided her cell phone number and, again, was very responsive to all texts/calls. She arrived early to the location and was able to scout out the perfect spots for the proposal. I think she could tell I was nervous and that I was terribly uncreative, so I REALLY appreciate her taking control to point out great spots and walk me through how the proposal should go. Genna arrived, I proposed, she said yes, and we were engaged! Saoussen used the remaining time we had after the proposal to do a mini-engagement session around the memorial. She was phenomenal about directing us on what to do, how to pose, etc. She has a great personality and is incredibly easy to interact with, which was perfect for such an intimate event. Upon completion of the photo shoot, Saoussen let us know that she would send us the first couple pictures within 24 hours! She definitely understands that girls want the pictures up on social media immediately, so Genna was thrilled about that! As we were interacting throughout the photo shoot, Saoussen was great about being friendly. I asked her what plans she had for the remainder of the evening and was very impressed when she told me that she doesn't make other plans on nights she's working - that she just focuses on perfecting her work. As promised, we had the first several pictures within 24 hours - Genna was absolutely hysterical with how the pictures turned out..they were PERFECT! Saoussen did an absolutely phenomenal job capturing the moment and editing them to perfection. We received the thumb-drive with the remaining photos 30 days later, and the quality of the work was outstanding. She pays remarkable attention to detail and does absolutely beautiful. I recommend Saoussen/District Photog 100%!

    My fiancé and I hired District Photog for our engagement photo shoot. Saoussen was professional, flexible, and was able to capture our most intimate moments on a very humid day. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a prompt and reliable photographer!

    Christmas card photos!

    We had a family session with Saoussen and it was fantastic! She was prompt, friendly and patient. She even quickly sent me a few photos so that I could get Christmas cards sent out. She is not cheap as others that you may find on livingsocial but you will not regret spending the extra money!

    Saoussen was fantastic to work with! She made my husband and I feel at ease and worked well with our 7 month old and two large dogs! She's really, really well priced and the editing she does is on point for how photography looks these days! I will absolutely be using her services again!!!

    Amanda G.

    Saoussen did our engagement photos in downtown DC and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. This was my fiance and I's first time having professional photos taken of us and she made the process extremely effortless. I highly recommend her!

    This past November I flew in with my fiancée to DC for a surprise proposal/engagement session. Saoussen was extremely helpful and professional throughout the whole process. She really made us feel comfortable during the session, despite tons of tourists being around. Love the pictures. Definitely recommend her and her skills!!! Thank you Saoussen!!.

    Radiance W.

    Saoussen did a wonderful job on our 5th year anniversary photos! I've been looking for the right photographer for a shoot in DC. Glad to say, I have no regrets about my choice! Can't wait to do another shoot in DC with her!

    We cannot express how amazing of a photographer Saoussen is. We were passed along her information from my co-worker, and once my husband and I saw her work online we were certain we wanted to work with her. Looking at how awesome the photos came out, Saoussen was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Saoussen went above and beyond for us, before we would ask her to make sure she took a picture; she had already captured the moment. If you are looking for amazing wedding photos for your special occasion call Saoussen!

    See all

I was so blown away by the maternity shots that I booked one-year-old session for my little one before she was even born. Wei's shooting style is fun, professional, and flexible; her images are magical, powerful, and simply beautiful. I'm especially drawn to how the photos captured candid moments, while accentuating natural beauty with almost a dreamy effect, all through the use of natural light, not heavy processing. She also has a knack with kiddos. Shooting with a squirmy and active toddler is not easy, but she made it very enjoyable. And I LOVE the end results. Go shoot with Wei and you won't be disappointed!

Before shooting, she spent time understanding our expectations and requirements. On the party day, she arrived even earlier than us to get familiar with the location and set up her gear. After shooting, she delivered the final products promptly. I have used other photos services before Wei. What sets Wei apart from others is her artistic sensitivity and technical ability to capture the interaction and the ability to use her lens to reconstruct the moment and tell a story. Whenever I look at those photos, they immediately relate me with those memorable moments. I later used her services for helping me sell or rent properties. She never disappoints me and her photos are always a big plus.

    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!

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!

    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).

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!
