Freed did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. They did a great job with both and we are so happy with the results! John was our photographer and brought a second ...
shooter to the wedding, so we got tons of amazing shots from all angles. They were so professional to work with and I would recommend them for anyone needing wedding photos!
John and Freed Photography was amazing to work with from start to finish! Photography is the most important way ensure you have the best memories of your special day that will las...
t forever, so it is important to use a photographer that you know you can't go wrong with. Freed worked with us to ensure we had a photographer with a style that we liked. We met John at our engagement photo session and after getting those amazing pictures, we knew he was going to capture our wedding exactly how we wanted. He was completely non-intrustive during the wedding day, yet he got pictures that we had no idea he had captured. He has an artistic eye to figure out beautiful shots. He was so professional, showing up an hour earlier than his contract and when the wedding was slightly behind schedule, he stayed late to ensure he got the shots that were important to us.
All of my wedding photos from getting hair and make-up done through the end of the reception beautifully showed off the mood of my wedding, which was fun, fun, fun! Love these guys...
! Hire them!
They did a great job both for our engagement pictures and our wedding day photos. Jenifer, our photographer also met with us and communicated with us a lot prior to the big day to...
make sure she had all the info she needed. Lastly, she ended up extending her time on the day of when we spontaneously decided to take more photos.
Freed photography is the best out there! They listen to all of your requests and do not hesitate to make suggestions of their own. Our photographer was John and he was extremely pa...
tient, passionate, and experienced. The quality of photos is unbeatable and the level of experience this company offers is the best in the DC area.
Bryan is absolutely flexible and talented. He took excellent pictures. Although expensive in comparison to other groups, Freed is for a reason. They have a trusted brand, and ex...
cellent quality and service.
Beautiful pictures! Jayroll is the best!
Freed was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding!! Jenifer, our photographer, had extreme attention to detail in capturing our perfect day. We had an engagement session with h...
er earlier this year, which allowed us the opportunity to get to know her and for her to know us. This made the wedding day a breeze, as she knew our style and exactly what we wanted captured. She worked well with our family and friends to ensure every combination was covered. I cannot thank Jenifer and Freed enough for an amazing photographer!
I had heard Freed's name many times as a highly recommended place and they ultimately definitely did not disappoint. You will get great pictures if you go with them, and they are ...
very responsive and great to work with at their main office. My only wish was that you got to meet the photographer before you picked from their group, rather than just look at the pictures. But overal, I was VERY satisfied!
expensive vendor...good pictures but no wedding album, unless you want to pay $2,000 extra for it!
Our photographer, Nick, was more than we could have asked for! Out of all our vendors, he was by far our favorite. My husband is very into photography, and even he was impressed ...
with Nick's eye for detail and ability to change ata moment's notice. He shot over 2 hours for our engagement session and stayed a little extra at the wedding. Freed was also great to use for online payment and they always got back to us ASAP. Wonderful company and photographer!
Freed Photography did an exceptional job on my wedding photos. First, Pablo took amazing engagement photos of me and my fiancee. His personality and professionalism made us feel ve...
ry comfortable with him. Plus the photos were amazing! Then at the wedding, Pablo and his assistant arrived early, kept everything running smoothly, and were very pleasant and fun to have around. We just received our wedding photos and they are also wonderful! I'm really happy with his work. Neal, the owner, and the office staff at Freed are also very pleasant and responsive. Pablo was fantastic and I highly recommend him.
Freed did a wonderful job on my daughters wedding.
I have yet to actually see the photos from my wedding, but Freed photography was a pleasure to work with. My mom and I planned the wedding together with her living in Maryland and...
me living in New York and they were really flexible with meeting with us around holidays (I am a law student) and accommodating our needs. I am someone who is a perfectionist and very hands on, so I like to meet to review just about everything - I wanted to meet after our engagement photos to review them, a few months prior to the wedding, etc. A few weeks prior to our wedding the wife of the photographer we were scheduled to use had a baby. The baby was initially healthy, but then readmitted to the hospital. Instead of waiting until the day before the wedding to decide what to do the photographer and Freed Photography took action and contacted my family and provided us with amazing options. Carla and Neal Freed (the owners) along with Pablo ended up shooting our wedding, and were willing to meet with us three days prior to the event. Fortunately, our original photographer's baby was released from the hospital by our wedding date, but I was really impressed that both he and Freed Photography thought it would be best for us if we did not wait to see what happened before making the switch, but instead made the switch two weeks prior. They were a pleasure to work with.
We had the pleasure of having Jenifer and Jayrol from Freed Photography as our photographers for our January 2012 wedding. Jenifer and Jayrol provided us with so many stunning ima...
ges from our engagement session and from our wedding. During our initial consultation with Freed we were immediately impressed with their professionalism and responsiveness, they even made special arrangements so we could meet with Neal Freed during the weekend when their studio was closed. We met with Neal who explained each of their packages in great detail and the costs. Neal even offered us a discount because our wedding was during the “off-peak” season. Neal then showed us a series of slideshows from different photographers to select from and our favorite was Jenifer’s.
We first met Jenifer for our engagement session and we immediately had a connection. She is so easy going it was easy to feel comfortable around her, which I’m sure comes through in the images. As our wedding day approached, Jenifer helped us come up with our photo schedule for the wedding day. Jenifer was even nice enough to meet us at our wedding venue (Park Hyatt Washington) to preview possible photo locations. On the wedding day Jenifer and Jayrol were great. They arrived in the suite and the cameras immediately started going. This is a wonderful team; they were both very fun and easy going while maintaining an air of professionalism. Jenifer and Jayrol were able to capture every aspect of our wedding so beautifully, they even stayed a little longer to get a few more shots and they captured so many of those “little” moments where you don’t know your picture is being taken. Those are the images we love the most. Now we have close to 1,400 images capturing our wedding!
We were so lucky to have photographers that we were so comfortable with. We only have the nicest things to say about Jenifer and Jayrol and the Freed team. Our guests even loved our photographers! Freed Photography is a great group. We would not hesitate recommending Jenifer and Jayrol from Freed to capture your wedding. Thanks again Jenifer and Jayrol!!
We loved our photographer Nick. He was excellent to work with and completely professional. Nick made both of us feel at ease which is difficult with so many family members!
The level of photography at Freed is first rate. They are a mix of traditional and photo-journalisitc styles. They are somewhat pricey, but again, the photos are fabulous. Our ph...
otographer Pablo was very personable and knowledgeable. We used their videography too, it's just as good. I plan to use Freed for future events, and I would recommend them to anyone!
they were great. the prices are reasonable, the photographers are friendly yet professional and the pictures come out amazing.
Nick was my photographer, and he did an absolutely exceptional job. He and his assistance went well above and beyond what was expected. They were professional but fun as well. I...
got a ton of compliments from the wedding party on how great they were.
After looking through some portfolio’s online, my fiancé and I went to Freed Photography for an initial consultation. Everyone was extremely kind and professional. We picked our ph...
otographer, Pablo, and got the opportunity to see a complete slideshow of his work.
We then did an engagement shoot, where we had the opportunity to personally meet and work with Pablo, before the big day. This was amazing, as it allowed us to meet him, for him to get to know us, for us to get comfortable with the camera and to discuss what our preferences were regarding the photos we wanted, the style, etc.
On the day of the wedding, he arrived before the agreed time (and as a bride… this is definitely something you value a lot at that particular moment). He brought all of his equipment as well as an assistant. We did some "getting ready photos", some formal photos, photos during the ceremony, cocktail, and reception. Overall, the photos were amazing. Some were traditional, others extremely artistic. The final product was truly terrific!! I would highly recommend Freed to anyone looking for a professional studio. All of their photographers are great, and their staff is very organized, responsive and hands on.
Thanks again for all the great moments captured on our special day!
Nick Griner, our photographer, did a wonderful job. The photos look amazing. His dedication to detail and mastery of "capturing the moment" was excellent.
The photographer was the one vendor we were most interested in and price was not an issue. For us, the only thing we'd have after the wedding are photographs. (We did not get a vid...
eographer) We looked for a photographer who did more candid, stylized and non-traditional photos. Friends of ours used Freed and spoke very highly of them. The original photographer we arranged to use from Freed ended up not suiting us so our wonderful consultant, Camie, worked to get Bryan.
My fiance and I met with Bryan and he was fantastic; he made us laugh so hard and he got a sense of us at a couple immediately. As I was more nervous than one could believe, Bryan made me feel at ease and continued to joke around with me. Even with the snow in the air--in March...first day of the cherry blossom festival--Bryan didn't push us to do outdoor photos. It was up to us. We went for it. We are so glad we did.
On our wedding day, he made us feel so comfortable as a couple and in front of the camera. Now that we have our proofs, how do we decide among the hundreds of amazing photos?
My wedding pictures are beautiful!Thank you so much Eli for making the day easy and fun to take pictures. My wedding guests had a blast! The pictures came out awesome. It is hard s...
electing pictures for the wedding album. Thank you for the outstanding customer service. I am excited to work with Carla on the album. Thank you so much for capturing such lovely pictures of my wedding day!
I did not use Freed photography, but one of their photographers was a guest at my wedding. He took amazing shots during the entire processs. His pictures far exceed those of the ph...
otographer we had hired.
Always helpful, positive and adaptable. Great team of professionals.
Freed is the best! We wouldn't have gone with anyone else for our wedding pictures. We used co-owner Bryan. His pictures came out beautifully!
We had a GREAT experience with Freed. They worked with us to stay within our budget and we had 2 great photographers, John and Jason, on our day. They were extremely professional a...
nd accommodated all of our suggestions for photographs. We were very concerned with the size of our bridal party (9 bridesmaids, 9 groomsmen, 2 flower girls, 1 ringbearer) that formal pictures after the ceremony would take so long that we'd miss our cocktail hour.... and we REALLY wanted to get some shots together at some of the DC landmarks, but we weren't willing to compromise our time at our cocktail hour. We had a list of the shots we wanted at the church and they got through them in no time!!! My husband and I even had plenty of time to go to the Capital and take some pictures together before making it to the last 20 minutes of our cocktail hour. We were really impressed with how our "preview" of images came out and I cannot wait to see the rest. They got some amazing shots!! An all-around great experience with them! I'd recommend to anyone seeking out a photographer in the DC area.
I wanted the best photography in the area, because my pictures are some of the only reminders of my wedding for years to come...and I truly believe that I got exactly what I wanted...
. Bryan was great to work with...very non-invasive. I didn't feel like any part of my wedding was obscured by the photography...I didn't feel like my fun was ever interrupted to get a photo. He captured every moment without me ever knowing. That is a true sign of a great photographer. I can't wait to have Bryan capture the next big moment of my life...
Pablo and Freed were both incredibly helpful, responsive and professional in the entire wedding process. Additionally Pablo did an amazing job at the wedding making everyone comple...
tely comfortable and also blending into the crowd that you never felt like you were being photographed! We can't wait to see the final pictures!
