JB Elliott Photography

nding JB Elliott Photography after reading a number of reviews and post regarding black owned photography companies in the DMV area to reviewing the company’s website and portfolio and submitting our inquiry the process and ease of working with Nick and team was seamless. We appreciate the initial intake call to see if his services would be a good fit and after that the signing of the contract was underway. Nick provided my wife and I with an online document that really helped up envision the day of the wedding and how we wanted the day to flow when it came to taking the photos. We had an additional call the week prior to the wedding day to ensure the order of events was set so that the day could go as seamless as possible from the photography angle. From the getting ready photos, flat lays, and first look to the ceremony, family portraits, cocktail hour, reception and departure photos, Nick and Ken really told a story through the lens. My wife and I looked at the photos and aside from the phenomenal quality, the scenes and moments captured really brought us back to that very special day! Being able to relive that day was something of great importance to my wife and I and JB Elliott Photography did a great job of executing that goal. The company even surprised us a video and audio of the ceremony portion and we really appreciated that as we did not a have a videographer. Nick and team went above and beyond with their professionalism, flexibility, and ability to make everyone feel comfortable and like themselves in front of the camera lens. We recommend their services as the price to quality ratio of all aspects of the service was amazing!

onus that he previously shot a wedding at our venue!). My now husband and I decided to go with Nick because of his personal approach and attention to detail. We loved that he immediately took interest in us as a couple and ensured we were all comfortable by including an engagement shoot with our package. I am naturally detailed-oriented so I liked filling out the questionnaires Nick provided to ensure that he understood our vision and what we would like captured. He is organized, professional, and extremely personable. Specifically, during our engagement session, it was an extremely humid day in the middle of July and I was not feeling well walking around in the heat. Nick went out of his way to ensure there were many moments where I could rest and take breaks. He also went the extra mile to walk around the Wharf (our engagement shoot location) to find a store and bring me back a bottle of water while my husband sat to wait with me for Nick to return. Nick was able to work around the heat and our photos still came out AMAZING. 10 out of 10 service! My husband and I absolutely love the beautiful moments Nick captured between our engagement and wedding. He captures portraits and “off-guard”/“action” shots very well. We loved that Nick and the second photographer were able to gather many unplanned photos of our family, friends, and the many details throughout our wedding. We highly recommend him!

ly appreciated their warm, professional, non-intrusive energy and approach throughout the night. We felt very cared for and understood by them. We couldn't recommend them enough to couples looking for a great experience. We also showed Nick samples of shot that we liked and he made sure to create some of our own for our special day.

ate about photography. After our engagement photo session, we knew we wanted him to do our wedding as well. Nick and his assistant were great. They were flexible and were able to help direct my wife and I (we are sometimes on the more introvert side, so it was good to have someone who could direct us). Overall, JB Elliott Photography is an amazing company and I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

, Nick was on-time, organized, efficient, responsive, and friendly--and produced a large, amazing group of high-quality keepsake photos. We recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation both for wedding photography and for any other assignments of any sort. He is exquisitely professional and exceptionally talented. Sincerely, James and Vivian Kobielus Alexandria VA

me a family friend. Below is my review that I left on his site after our engagement: Nick is amazing! My husband and I were very pleased with Nick's professionalism and body of work. After seeing his pictures, I knew we had to book Nick, no matter what the cost! We were so happy with our engagement photos and our wedding photos that I already look forward to booking Nick again in the future! Not only does Nick do great work, but he is easily accessible. Any time I had any questions, he responded back within 24 hours or less. If you want beautiful pictures that you will fall in love with, Nick is the photographer that you need for any occasion! I cannot say enough good things about him and his work.

h the way the photos turned out. It had previously rained the night before but the way he strategically positioned my husband and I no one would the wiser or that the photos were taken at 32 degrees. He was prompt and very detailed he capture the smallest details that we wanted he walked us through the entire process with his tips and tricks to make sure the day went off without a hitch. He wore many hats for Alex and I that we did not want for anything. Nick is dedicated to his client he exhibits patience and understanding from the moment the contract was established he was available for us until the very end. We will definitely be using him for future engagements. We now have a photographer for life.

e the day of! From first contact and submitting payment to completing a style survey and the actual session, Nick was always professional and easy-going. The photos were uploaded to an online gallery and ready for review less than a week after our session and we could not be more pleased with the final result! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Nick for anyone looking for a quality photographer at an affordable price.
