He captured everything asked for on our shot list, and exceeded expectations. My boss, who is very particular on the types of photos we use for promoting the conference, said that every time she found a good moment to capture on her cell phone, Ben was right there already taking the photo. The photos were delivered post-conference in a timely manner and they are exactly what we had hoped for. If we return to DC for an event, we will be reaching out to DCEvent Photo. Thanks again, Ben!

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.

I did not enjoy doing business with Sam Garvin. We have used his firm multiple times in the past…read morefor headshots and have been pleased with the results, but recently he refused to refund our money for a shoot that never happened. We had a candidate withdraw their acceptance of their new job, and so we informed Sam a month in advance that we no longer needed his services. He let us know that he "cannot issue refunds" even when work is not rendered. This was written nowhere on the invoice he sent us. Upon review of his website, I see it is buried in his terms and conditions page. Why someone would choose to do business this way, I have no idea. I could not in good conscience take my customers' money and then refuse to refund it even if I performed no work. Sam feels differently.

Sam was also personally a great person to work with. He made us feel very relaxed and we never felt rushed during our photoshoot. Sam also went above and beyond to meet our requests.

If we ever need a photoshoot again or need to recommend a photographer to a friend, Sam will be the first photographer to come to mind.

I initially found Sam while browsing social media for potential wedding photographers about a year…read morebefore our wedding. I'm personally not a fan of the stereotypical glammed out wedding photos where a lot of hair/makeup/etc is required, and was looking for someone who could take more artistic, unique photos for us. So glad we found Sam, his work caught my eye from the start and as he continued to work with us through engagement photos and then the big day, it became super clear that he is an experienced professional and was the perfect fit for us! Neither my husband (still weird to say haha) nor I are easily relaxed in front of a camera, so it was pretty nerve wracking for us to even think about getting professional photos taken where we didn't look like hot messes. However Sam's super calm demeanor and clear direction made everything feel so easy. The day of, we had about 40 people for photos in a variety of spaces at the St. George Botanical Gardens in the US Virgin Islands, and Sam did an amazing job at crowd control. There was no sense of anxiety or rushing even though it's so hard to direct such a wandering large group of people. He was also totally open to the ridiculous poses we wanted to do for fun. We never felt any pressure to stand in or pose in places that felt difficult or unnatural for us. I also really appreciated his attention to detail during the shot setups, I'm sure something he's developed into second-hand nature through his career thus far. Sunglasses and purses were all appropriately out of view, boutonnieres and were perfectly in place with his direction, and we got some crazy artistic shots of us utilizing the colors and shapes and textures around us so well. Ultimately, it was his unique techniques that resulted in absolutely stunning and mind-blowing photos that are so cool to have for the rest of our lives. While Sam's work speaks for itself, we really had such an enjoyable experience having such a wonderful photographer who wasn't too intrusive but firm enough with herding our crazy friends into place to get the best shots. Without us even really noticing his whereabouts throughout the day, he gave us over 1000 absolutely fantastic photos from our wedding day and he worked solo with minimal equipment - really goes to show how his work is seated in pure skill. Several of our friends are already expressing interest in hiring him for their weddings in the future, and I'm also thinking about what future events we could have him join us for again.

My wife and I searched high and low for a vendor to complement our photographer and capture our May 2007 wedding. We found expensive ones with a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles and then we found John Rose. Our first meeting was in a MD chain restaurant. He reminded me of a car salesman who was learning the ropes. He was nervous and he was just starting his own business. However he brought a mini dvd player and showed us a sample dvd of his past weddings. He offered more affordable packages and a greater sense of photojournalism. My wife and I shopped around and thought that the other vendors did not fit our budget or style. We took a gamble on our man. I enjoyed working with him before, during and after the ceremony and reception. I don't remember saying more than 4 words to him and his team the entire night; he and the equipment were incognito. He also worked well with our photographer (sometimes vendors can "fight" for better shots). Our final product, received within 2.5 months, is a work of art, from the DVD case design to the chapter menus and footage. It's like watching a movie (not just Uncle Bob's raw footage). Although he is located in MD and serves primarily MD, DC and VA, he is willing to travel for a nominal fee. I would be willing to answer questions (PM me) and vouch for him. John Rose will also provide other references of past customers. I definitely recommend him. Thank God we found him. IFHTP 1

He was really thoughtful in sending us sample galleries from weddings that were similar in venue and style to what we were planning.

He provided just the right amount of direction while putting everyone at ease and getting a great array of candid shots and special moments. I still don't know how he manages to get so many different angles and shots by himself during the ceremony. We also love the video slideshow he did with the photos and speeches.
