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!

I am honestly blown away by the incredible photos Damon produced for my company. My biggest goal…read morefor this project was to create an experience where a group of breast cancer survivors could feel confident and beautiful, and Damon went far beyond anything I could have imagined. I came into this project still figuring out the vision, and after sharing just a bit about my goals, Damon took it and ran. His creativity is unmatched and he brought forward a vision that was more powerful, intentional, and meaningful than anything I could have come up with on my own. What impressed me just as much was how prepared he was. Damon had clearly done extensive research ahead of time, thoughtfully planning each location and even specific poses for every individual. The entire shoot flowed seamlessly, which made such a difference in creating a comfortable, uplifting experience for our survivors. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he is professional, dedicated, and truly cares about the people he's working with. If you are in the DC area, don't look any further -- just book Damon. He is truly the best of the best.

Barbora is the absolute sweetest photographer and the thing that I love the most about her is that when we were shooting she was giving us pointers and telling us exactly how we should pose or if we needed to fix something. She came prepared with poses and ideas that fit our vibe and then also hyped us up while we are shooting. She had amazing turnaround time and was so awesome to work with. Definitely recommend getting your pictures done by her. If you want a beautiful bright photo gallery!

Words cannot describe how lucky we feel to have found Charlie! He is so amazing to work with, he is…read moreso positive and flexible, we had a blast hanging out with him and were sad to say goodbye. You can tell that this is his passion and he approached our session with a lot of excitement. When saying goodbye, he literally said, "he couldn't wait to start editing our shoot and would get a sneak peak to us in two days". We received our beautiful sneak peak 8 hours later! Half way through the session, I started wondering how we could work with him again. Another aspect that I really liked is that Charlie had a vision of what he wanted to do for our session. When I had confirmed our appointment, we discussed what I liked about our location and what I was looking for, and from that Charlie made a plan. He was open to anything we wanted to try, but we didn't waste any of our session thinking about what the next shot would be- Charlie already had it queued up for us! It should be mentioned, although I'm a bit embarrassed, that we were 10 minutes late because I was getting my hair done at drybar. Charlie was beyond gracious about it and said to not stress because it would affect the pictures. I do not recommend being late because it is rude and inconsiderate, but when I was late, I really appreciated Charlie making me feel better about it. Long story short, Charlie is amazingly talented and incredibly easy to work with. I cannot recommend him enough.

I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer, with reasonable prices, that doesn't do the typical up-sell of making you buy images from her... the gallery is ours to download and print as we wish. Big bonus.

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!
