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.

Really enjoyed my session with Moshe. Consummate professional, and so generous with his time and…read morepatience to ensure the customer gets exactly what they want. He really knows what he's doing and is a master at coaxing the best out of his subject, then helping them muddle through the enormous amount of material to pick out the gems with just enough input to make sure you're getting what you want, not what he thinks you should have (although I bet he'd be happy to pick out his favorite shots if you feel you need that level of input). Editing was quick and very responsive and I feel like I really got a great value for the money I spent.

As a Realtor, having a great headshot is incredibly important, and Elliott O'Donovan absolutely…read morenailed it. I've worked with several photographers over the years, and Elliott is the first person who was able to really capture my natural smile instead of the typical stiff, posed headshot. He made the entire shoot feel easy and genuinely fun, and I think that made all the difference in how the photos turned out. One of my favorite parts of the entire experience was actually coming back about a week later to review and select the photos with Elliott. He took a huge number of photos during the shoot, and we went through them together to narrow everything down. Having him there to help with the selection process was incredibly helpful, and you could tell how much time and care he puts into making sure you walk away with the right shots. The final photos were exactly what I wanted--professional and polished, but still natural and actually looked like me. You can tell Elliott genuinely cares about his work and about getting it right for his clients. It was easily one of the best investments I've made in my business. I couldn't recommend Elliott enough, and when it's eventually time to update my headshots again, I already know who I'll be calling.

Elliott was terrific from start to finish, quickly answering my initial query and walking me through his working method. After an initial consultation, we set up a time to meet in his studio. To prepare, he sent advice on what to bring to the shoot. The photo session was fantastic. Elliott was great at putting me at ease; moreover, it was a lot of fun. A few days later, I went back to the studio to choose final pictures with him, and he produced the final photos in short order. I'm so happy with the results. I would work with Elliott again in a heartbeat.

First, we were late (I still haven't figured out how to account for DC traffic) - Erin was very nice/gracious about it. Then, each of my siblings and I had specific ideas in mind and were fairly demanding about what we wanted (4 adults who all have their own taste/thoughts = a lot of discussion about what to do or not do). Erin stayed up-beat and had great recommendations when people got stuck for poses or couldn't agree on what to do. Finally, she did a great job touching up the photographs for small errors such a bra strap showing or puffy under-eyes in the close-up photographs. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get a family photo-shoot. She has the perfect attitude for handling demanding people and she gets great shots.

From my very first inquiry, he was incredibly responsive, kind, and organized, which made planning as stress-free as possible.

The final photos are exactly what I'd hoped for. He captured the emotion and joy of the moment perfectly. If you're looking for a talented and professional photographer for any special milestone, I cannot recommend Kelly highly enough!

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!

We felt 110% comfortable in taking our photos as Pri has an ability and energy to keep us going for the 3 to 4 hours of the photoshoot The pictures that came out were really good (hard time choosing) and Pri also was generous in the number of photos that she provided for our choosing.
