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!

Ken Oh is a phenomenal photographer. I am a tough critic due to my job as a publisher when it comes…read moreto photography. But I was extremely impressed by Ken's talent to take such high quality professional photos and his rigorous work ethics working 6 hours straight with consistency. Ken is highly efficient and through and care for customer satisfaction. After the first one hour shooting session three months ago, I was very pleased with his work and did three more occasions of sports action photography since, totalling about 20 hours of photography. Ken made our talents comfortable in front of the camera with his positive and friendly spirit throughout the session. Business-wise, Ken is a great example of blending professional skills with his friendly and energetic personal charm. He and his wife work as a team well turning photos around quickly. Their passion and dedication surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend this studio.

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!!!

If I could give 10+ stars, I absolutely would. The studio owner is amazing, and this place exceeded…read moreall my expectations. This was my very 3rd time doing a photo shoot, and I'm beyond grateful that I pushed myself to do it here. There was absolutely no judgment, and she gave clear guidance and direction while also making me feel comfortable enough to freestyle and be creative. There was no rushing at all, and a lot of time and care were spent making sure we captured the right shots. You can really tell that she takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about her clients. I will definitely be coming back many times. The entire experience was so much fun, and even the unedited photos already looked amazing, so I can't even imagine how incredible the final images will be. If you're considering booking a photo shoot at this studio, just do it. You'll be in the best hands. I honestly couldn't believe I was looking at myself in these photos--I'm so proud of myself. They truly look like something straight out of a magazine.

Where their work really shines is in capturing the moments as they happen. The entire shoot had a very comfortable, natural, feel to it.

Also, the process of getting the pictures was fast and easy! -Kevin Arvai

I have never met a more unprofessional wedding photographer, and I have years of experience of…read morebeing an assistant to a wedding photographer. This woman showed up in a t-shirt style jumper and sneakers to start. Comfort and mobility are important working, but so is blending in with a formal environment of a wedding. She was frazzled and didn't provide any direction and didn't have a plan, even though she was supposedly familiar with the venue and should know what photos she planned on taking. While, we, the bridal party was getting hair and makeup done for the wedding, she was snapping stills of the brides accessories for close to an hour. Where did she take these photos of the accessories? On the floor in the bathroom. This caused her to break my 1890s diamond and pearl pendant that I was loaning the bride into multiple pieces. I have no idea if she stepped on it or knelt on it moving crap around, but when confronted she insisted it was in pieces when she was taking photos already. It wasn't, I had check it that morning before she touched it and the chain was found on the floor in the bathroom. The rare, baroque nature pearl was never found. I had no recourse because she deleted any photos that would have shown the whole necklace. She didn't even try to find the missing pieces or apologize. When she did finally get around to taking photos of the bridal party, well behind schedule, there were zero instructions. No one knew what photos were being taken, no one knew where to go for the photos. The bride had a surprise for the groom that she knew about, but was no where to be found when it showed up. She kept directing us to walk through the grass in heels and then would change her mind once we got there so we had to keep going back and forth in muddy grass getting our dresses and shoes dirty. She didn't do any photography basics of staging and posing the bridal party, flooding the dress or giving any direction on how to stand, turn and face her for good photos. There is some actual skill in taking a good photo, not just relying on photoshop to do it all for you. It is also not the bridal parties responsibility to set up the photo. I have never had to do so much work being the subject of the photo. The other wedding aids who have worked with her in the past confirmed that she is always behind schedule and less than professional. During the reception she was in the way of everyone dancing trying to get photos. Wedding guests were having to constantly move around her. Even without her destroying an heirloom necklace, she is not someone I would ever hire. I will say the bride and groom turned out beautiful, they are beautiful people and it's not hard to capture that. Following this review, they were contacted and begging to have it removed, so I did edited it. Once again they failed to take accountability for their mistakes and use a negative review to do better. Everyone deserves a chance to improve, but if they aren't willing to listen to criticism they never will. I wait to give reviews until I am no longer livid with the experience and can give a fair and accurate review. You don't have to be a paying customer to have a horrible experience with a business. Do better.

She really knows the DMV area and offers great sites for shooting. When I floated the idea of cherry blossoms, winter themed and then Fall foliage (for each of the respective above shoots), she picked out stunning sites that were absolutely perfect. During the photoshoots, Saoussen is really great at capturing beautiful moments without feeling overwhelming or staged at all. It's always a pleasurable one hour and she sends a portfolio of numerous wonderful photos that we instantly love!

Virginia so of course we did it on the steps of the Supreme Court) and she was AMAZING YA'LL. Everyone who sees my photos is completely blown away; I asked Rachel to take us around DC like tourists and do more a photo shoot than a traditional wedding, and she selected the *perfect* places to go for to-die-for backgrounds. Her photography editing is impeccable, and I had multiple people tell me that our photos look like they belong in a magazine. Rachel herself is wonderfully fun and easy to work with, and helped us have FUN with our photos.
