Testimonials Roman Grinev Wedding Photography

“We couldn’t have asked for more perfect photos of our wedding day. Roman’s unique style captured the mood of our event, of our guests, and of us. His style adds depth and character to photographs that tell a story of our wonderful day. Roman took every measure to make sure we were comfortable and happy with our photos and the process, while ensuring he captured all aspects of the wedding day. Additionally he was very professional and easy to work with throughout the process. Thanks Roman, everyone loves the photographs!”

–Jennifer & Erick

“I saw Roman's advertisement in a local wedding magazine, and after viewing his website, I was sure he was our photographer. Meeting him allowed me to understand the level of professionalism that he carries and made me feel confident about choosing one of the most important vendors on my wedding day. Not only was I impressed with his eye for photography, but I knew that his style was what we were looking for as well. Joe and I wanted to have a great time and we wanted our guests to do the same. Outside of taking the portraits I requested, we didn't even notice he was there. Not only did Roman capture the most fabulous day of our lives, he captured it digitally. Now our memories are virtually indestructible!”

–Beth and Joe

“ I have been sharing the beautiful wedding photographs by Jason!! We could not be happier with the results and have enjoyed showing them off! We truly enjoyed working with Jason and these photographs are just proof of how talented he really is. Our whole family and our friends have nothing but good things to say. Thank you so much for these beautiful images that will help us remember and cherish this very important and special day of our lives forever. !”

–Traci and Kevin

“ On our wedding day, Jennifer was the most pleasant and accommodating photographer we have ever worked with. We had some thoughts about what we wanted and she was very receptive. We hoped that her work was going to be as good as her personality, and that she would get "the shot". As it turned out, there were too many quality shots to even pick one particular "shot". Her work is interesting, artistic, fresh, yet appealing to a large audience (like parents). She captured the mood, the people, and the day perfectly. We couldn't be happier.!”

–Maureen and Mark

“ The photo and slideshow DVDs our family received from the collaborative work of Chris Zimmer and Napoleon Martinez were [are] absolutely fabulous, awesome, and amazing. What other adjectives can we use?! My husband and I both pulled out the kleenix to get through the slideshow. [Becki & Greg brought the DVDs for us to view at their recent visit.] Our sincere thanks to your two professional principals! !”

–Gabrielle (mother of the bride)

–Lydia and Robert

“After speaking with him several times, Roman completely put us at ease with his professionalism and knowledge, he tailored a package to our specific needs, and he has the patience of an angel. We were looking for a photographer that was different from your standard wedding photographer. We wanted someone who could find that unique shot, yet could produce the traditional photographs we desired. Roman was the person. All-in-all, it was a fantastic experience working with Roman and we are so pleased with the results! We will never tire of looking at our beautiful wedding album.”

–Kim and Jim

“"I must say that while searching for a photographer, I was concerned that I wasn't going to get the pictures that I really wanted. After speaking w/ Roman and Jennifer I was put at ease. Jennifer was absolutely amazing.. She was on time (even though I wasn't) and very organized. When we got the pictures back we were floored, they were exactly what we were looking for. Thank you so much for making our wedding memories beautiful.."”

–Nancy and Steve

“From the start, we were inspired by the creativity that Roman contributed to our wedding plans and the willing spirit with which he embraced our most 'imaginative' ideas. Shooting the reception in such a small and somewhat dark location was a concern of ours, and yet Roman was able to produce vivid and energetic photography despite the varying light quality and room constraints. It is his attentive nature to space and movement that allows those irreplaceable moments to remain brilliantly clear in our minds. Always on the ball and, yet, never obtrusive. With that, we are left with vibrant memories of this beautiful day. The album, alive and rich with emotion, is testament to both the precision of his craft, and the natural approach with which he captured the imagery of the world around us.”

–Tiffany and Paul

“We felt very comfortable working with Roman, who was amenable to all our crazy requests, very reliable, and highly energetic. Working deftly —and solo— with two cameras and all sorts of lenses and equipment, he documented a trolley ride we took through DC with our guests, then braved chilly windy fall weather to get several outstanding group photos of our guests at the Jefferson Memorial. Roman is an intuitive photographer, but he also followed our special requests to the letter. The black and white and color photos in our album are wonderful way to re-experience our wedding day. Many of the photos are standouts in terms of artistry and capturing a moment. Our family will enjoy them for years to come.”

–Jenny and Scott

“Roman is a true professional with vision— not only in his efforts to capture a set of images encapsulating the joy, love, family and warmth of our wedding, but also in his astute ability to maintain an unobtrusive, while omniscient presence. Romans photographs created a rich set of memories for us to enjoy— he really captured the spirit of our wedding day!”

–Talia and Patrick

“We were very pleased with the wedding coverage and albums that we received from Roman. He was very accommodating and willing to make modifications that we wanted. Through several meetings with him prior to our wedding date, we designed our own wedding package. I don't think any of the other photographers that we talked to were willing to make changes to their set packages.”

–Aruna and Daniel

“On time and delightful to work with! Roman really captured the mood and style of our wedding with his photography.”

–Bethany and John

“Roman captured not only the story of the day, but also the spirit of the people. Dramatic angles, playful lighting, excellent timing and surprising intuition were his tools in providing us with an abundance of unique selections for our album. Roman was gracious in interacting with the crowd and vendors, and generous to us with his time. He is a true professional we are sure you will appreciate.”

–Barbara and David

“From the moment we met Roman Grinev to begin the process of choosing a wedding photographer, he was nothing but pleasant and helpful. After we decided to use Roman for our wedding he made sure the whole process went smoothly. From meeting us before the wedding to getting a list of pictures we absolutely had to have taken, to brainstorming ideas of creative shots he could get around our church and reception location. Once the actual wedding day came he was very professional, no one seemed to notice he was there. Which was excellent because the shots he got are fantastic and not posed at all.”

–Kim and Casey

“Roman was able to capture the mood of our celebration perfectly! He was so pleasant to work with and was completely comfortable in the midst chaos, joy, emotion, and energy of our wedding celebration.”

–Shereen and Amr
