A little over a decade ago, I was searching for a photographer in the Washington DC area who would…read morebe able to take proposal photos as a surprise to my now wife. Jae was one of the photographers who reached out and ultimately the one I ended up going with. Looking back, it was absolutely the right choice! He was incredibly helpful in planning out the proposal and choosing the best location for our photos. He answered all of my questions and was easy to get in touch with both before and on the night of the proposal, keeping me updated and making sure everything was ready before the big moment. The photos turned out perfect! Even today, they stand out as some of our favorite pictures. Fast forward 10 years later - I had an idea to get a kind of "follow up" set with our daughter for our 10th anniversary. I reached out to see if Jae was still in the area and if he'd have some availability to do these for us. He got back to me fast and we ended up planning everything out, starting right back where the proposal happened. This time was just as great! Jae was fantastic with our daughter and really helped bring out her smile. He was great posing us and knew exactly how to work each location we walked to. The photos (again) turned out fantastic! Being able to look back at both sets side by side, a decade later, is like opening a time capsule - it's just so cool!

Jae is an amazing photographer and I highly recommend him! If you're looking for someone who will…read morego above and beyond expectations, Jae is the man. He is very responsive and detail oriented. I hired him to take photos of my proposal. From the start, he removed all the stress out of planning so I only had to focus on actually proposing. He was essentially a photographer and a planner! Once I chose the general location and time of the proposal, Jae went out of his way to scout the place beforehand. He provided me with the exact spots with the best background, detailed diagrams of how to get to the spot, and how to propose for the best shots. Because it was an outdoor location, Jae helped me come up with contingency plans and what to do for each case. My fiancée and I are more awkward when it comes to photos but Jae brings in over 10 years of experience. He was able to help us get into the best poses and he edited the photos to make us really shine. Jae even stayed up late to finish editing our photos earlier than anticipated when he found out we were heading out of town soon after. I am truly thankful for Jae's help.

She emailed me the same day and said we would have to…read morereschedule it because the sunflowers were not in bloom, totally understandable....Then she ghosted me.

If you're a photographer or hair stylist or even makeup artist in the area looking to rent a…read morestudio, this is a great option! The amount of natural light and the option to use the owners lights are both amazing to have. The studio also has a ton of clothing options for clients to borrow as well as chairs and backgrounds. The wood floors that can be either dark or white gives plenty of versatility for your clients. The process of booking was also SUPER easy and the rates right now are very reasonable for what you get! I'd highly recommend this studio for a variety of uses! :)

Paige was also great at directing us (and also not directing us in order to get some candids). And, she miraculously got a bunch of beautiful pictures in only 30 minutes.
