He captured all the emotional/happy moments during our big day! I highly recommend to hire Mark for your next photo shoot, he's so awesome to work with and you will be amazed!

ed everything out over phone and email. He traveled to PA from Virginia for my wedding and was a wonderful photographer. He was kind, kept to himself, and took plenty of pictures! Any pictures I wanted he made sure he took. I had many people ask me who the photographer was and how I found him because they thought he was amazing. thanks to Mr. Mark my wedding will be extremely memorable!

y in the weeks leading up to the event. He would ask us ample of questions and he also researched the Hindu engagement ceremony to be able to better capture the important moments and we really happy with that. On the day of the event, they arrived exactly on time, in fact 30 mins earlier than we expected, giving enough time to set up the cameras, lighting and conduct a photoshoot before the event. Very professional attitude throughout the function. He was very hardworking, and my entire family noticed it. He's one of the only vendors at our event that we felt fully satisfied with. Same goes for his wife, who was taking videos. When the pictures came in, we were in complete love with them. Very high quality and artistic shots. Mark was able to capture the event beautifully and the editing was on point too. I had a bunch of suggestions for editing and Mark was nice enough to incorporate those ideas when editing some important pics, and they came out great.

in good hands. He plans it all out and from his information gathering questions that help us think about things we might not have, we were able to add more to our photography plans than we might have otherwise. The day of was a terrific experience. I think he really adds to a positive experience to not only my "husband" and I, but our entire wedding party who enjoyed his great attitude and how he helped direct us. And of course, the photos turned out amazing! We could not be happier with our choice and I know you will be too!

oto and tell a story with a single picture. I really wanted someone with a more artistic eye and we definitely got it. He was a pleasure to work with, responsive (most of the time kept me on track with planning!), flexible and easy to talk to. We love our photos and will definitely work with Mark in the future!

ve and communicative throughout everything. After our engagement photoshoot, we had extremely high expectations of Mark for our wedding day, and somehow he and his team surpassed our expectations. We absolutely love both our engagement photos and our wedding day photos. We have received so many compliments from friends and family about how stunning our photos are all thanks to our wonderful photographer. Mark and his team are the absolute dream photography and videography team to have at a wedding!! By the end of our wedding day, everyone on the team felt like close friends. We could not be happier with our entire experience with Mark and his team!!

professional, efficient, kind, and so fun! He and his team were easy to work with and unobtrusive. And the photos we got back are stunning. We had a great experience with Mark and his team and HIGHLY recommend them!

st times of our lives & could not have been more understanding of the wedding day craziness! He listened to our vision & did a perfect job of reflecting the most important moments of our day. Our guests were also very impressed with his professionalism, so much so that our sister hired him for her wedding as well. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone!

ons. Our guests from our wedding are still raving about how great he was! Would recommend to anyone needing a photographer for any event!

so working with my sisters wedding. Thank you Mark and Life Reflecting Images for capturing for my 3 Day Pakitalian Wedding!

and he went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable, and ready for pictures. We love how our wedding photos turned out, and the fast turned around. I am beyond pleased with our wedding pictures. I am very grateful with Mark. Excellent photographer.

rty laughing the entire time. He set up a great schedule that did not feel rushed but still allowed for all the shots that we needed. We could not have asked for a better team to capture our memories for us.

ew schedule with no issues. Photo wise, every photo turned out beautifully. He was great to work with and made sure everyone felt comfortable. My husband isn't keen on having his photo taken, but also loved working with Mark. We wanted a lot of candid shots, and Mark took that to heart. There were a ton of candid shots that were just gorgeous. TL;DR: Mark is amazing to work with and I can't recommend Life Reflecting Images more highly!

-in-law had a great time working with your company on two separate occasions in two great locations. I am the one who paid for your services and am very grateful. Your staff is also enjoyable and engaging. Life Reflecting Images helped contribute to happiness during these difficult times.

made us feel very comfortable and relaxed, and his photos turned out beautifully :) Highly recommend!

sure to work with after the wedding when it came to ordering all of our photos. His soft, warm-hearted demeanor was nicely balanced by his directive guidance throughout the day; a true professional. Was thrilled to be given access to digital copies of all of our photos (not sure this is typical without a large fee) and you can order prints directly from his website (starring/saving favorites and finalizing the order later). We absolutely loved our wedding photos and receive endless compliments. On top of all this, his price was very reasonable. Thank you Mark!

everything we wanted and we are so happy we found him!

s out of his way to make sure you are getting the pictures you want. Him and his team were super professional and we barely even noticed they were there. They did a fantastic job and we will continue to use Mark for future photography needs!

ur questions in detail. On the day of they were so relaxed and calm, which really helps when you're already very anxious! I would absolutely recommend them!

. I had a ton of pictures from my wedding, and I loved the all of my wedding pictures. I felt really comfortable around him, and he snapped a lot of really great candid shots of people and moments. Wonderful photographer, who's also affordable. I'm super pleased.

t day of our lives and we are forever grateful. Mark put us at ease from the very beginning, which was very important since planning a wedding can get overwhelming. He and his team went above and beyond the call of duty and made the whole process simple for us. I would highly recommend Life Reflecting Images as your photographer. They are professional, artistic, and just simply amazing!!

had experience at Pakistani weddings. I even recruited my dad to find someone, and he had no luck. A few weeks later, I found Life Reflecting Images Photography through a flyer at a local restaurant near Dulles Town Center. I thought, why not check this out? He has great packages and the experience I was looking for. Key points: 1) He is professional, prompt, responsive, and agreeable. All the qualities in the making of a perfect event photographer. 2) His packages are reasonable and also much more affordable than many other companies I reached out to. 3) He was very flexible with our event timeline. Pakistani weddings are multiple events over a span of 2-4 days, so I was concerned he would be rigid with what we could do with our package. I was so incredibly impressed and surprised that he was willing to work with me to make the most of our photo/video package with his team. 4) Our photos came out absolutely STUNNING. His editing was tasteful and improved the quality and ambience of the photos ten-fold. 5) We had originally not hired a photographer for our religious ceremony (which was at noon the day of our wedding, with the reception in the evening), because it would have been out of our budget. Now, here is one of the aspects of working with Mark that I am most grateful for: he moved things around in our package so that he would be able to take photos and a short video at our ceremony. This was the single greatest wedding gift I could ever have asked for. He even stayed late at our reception which went over our original planned time. You can't beat that kind of service. 6) Our wedding video is amazing. Everything down to the angles and music choice was perfect. He also used the songs from my original playlist!! Overall, my husband and I were 100% satisfied

n out where we would be taking our couple portraits. My husband and I were down to try any of Mark's suggestion and his suggestions did not disappoint! Mark and his team also made sure to capture a little bit of everything that day! From getting ready, to wedding party pictures, to the ceremony, to cocktail hour and the reception and everything in between. I can't say it enough how pleased we are with our wedding photographs. Also, Life Reflecting Images is a one stop shop! They offer packages of just photography or photography and videography. Our package included Mark as our lead photographer, a second photographer, a lighting assistant and a videographer. Videography was important to us because we had some family members not able to attend due to age and health reasons. Mark worked with us ahead of time to make sure his videographer captured all the special moments we wanted.

and their family happy. Whenever and whatever Mark has said, committed and promised at the end, our family received more of care, respect beyond our imagination, quality and quantity of photographs and videos that are unparallel. His eyes and his cameras captures image, so timely, that resonates the emotions of the bride, groom, parents, friends and all participating. These images make to live the experience over and over again. The pictures capturing the vibrant colors from the bride and groom’s dresses, radiant eyes full of love, and the essence of smiles of the bride, groom and their families and friends. Many photographs are so lively that you starts to feel the like watching a video. When you look at the video you realize one picture shows the emotions, colors and the energy of the entire clip of the video. The photographs and videos are organized in such an attention to detail that shows all the highlights of the wedding. As a parent of the beautiful bride, I would strongly recommend Mark and his team to memorialize the weddings and happy occasion for your families. You can count on value, quality, honesty, transparency, and high level of professionalism. Father of the Bride

d our wedding! His prices are VERY reasonable for the area. From our first initial meeting all the way up to after our wedding, Mark has been very professional and made us feel so comfortable and confident with him as our photographer!

that we had a lot of last-minute changes that were out of our control. He was patient and fun, always professional, and made me feel completely at home and just went with the flow of whatever we threw at him. I can't rave enough about him – if you need a photographer for anything, he's your man! His team was stellar as well, although as the bride I worked mostly with Mark. The pictures are gorgeous, and I'm so grateful that we got to work with him for our special day.

dding. He was so organized in helping us plan the shot list and helping with the timeline. He is laid back, flexible, easy to work with, and helped us feel at ease in front of the camera. He got all the shots we wanted, came up with some great shot ideas on the fly, and our pictures are amazing! I lost track of time a little at the reception, but I am pretty sure he stayed later than we agreed upon in the contract. We plan to order enlargements of our favorites from him... if we can pick out favorites from the many wonderful photos :) You can't go wrong with Mark!

ation and great end result. I selected Mark out of 7 photographers I researched and spoke to. (Long version) Here are the reasons I selected him: 1. He has options to meet your needs (we went with 2 photographers and a lighting assistant) - 3 of the other photographers I spoke to worked alone and I was afraid some of the moments wouldn't be captured. 2. He only makes you pay for the things you want. A couple of the photographers included a fancy photo album - I didn't want that and didn't want to pay extra money for something I didn't need. 3. He provides the perfect amount of communication. He responded to emails in very timely manner and sent emails when it was time for me to start thinking about certain aspects of the wedding. 4. He asks for examples of photos you like so he can get a sense of the style you are going for and follows through with recreating those photos. 5. I gave him a list of family members I wanted in various photos. He brought the list and was able to wrangle over 30 people into multiple pictures quickly. 6. Him and his team were ninja's during the ceremony. I HATE when photographers make their presence known during a ceremony. I don't know how Mark and the team got the pictures they did because they were completely out of site 7. The finished product is amazing, he not only captured great staged photos but got some amazing candid photos as well There are a million other reasons why you should go with Life Reflecting Images... just look at all of the other positive reviews he has gotten on the wedding websites.

when photographers are constantly badgering people to stop what they're doing and freeze in a pose. I want candids! We told Mark that was our #1 priority and he took it to heart...I literally don't remember seeing his team the entire reception! Yet the next day when my friends were posting their own iPhone snapshots on Facebook, I could see Mark's team hiding all over the place capturing candid photos. VERY MUCH appreciated by us. Also, his photo / video / lighting folks were very pleasant and easy to work with during the "getting dressed" photos and "after the wedding" photos. We felt like Hollywood stars walking around Georgetown and it was the time of our lives. Thank you for creating such a special day for my bride and I, and we can't wait to see the final prints and video reel!

interaction with him, the meet-and greet, he was professional, and his work samples were amazing. He took the time to walk our venue prior to photos, and had great ideas the day-of. Our wedding day was stress free and efficient, many thanks to Mark. We had no idea what to expect regarding photography on a wedding day, but after experiencing Mark, and seeing photographers at weddings after him, we even more so realize he is a grade above! We highly recommend Life Reflecting Images, you won't be disappointed with service, professionalism, and most importantly, the lifetime memories captured in the photos you'll get back. (Added bonuses: working with Mark for your album, the app of photos you get when finished, the downloadable images, and the thumb drive!)

ht person that we would feel comfortable around. He was very easy to work with and made several adjustments to his packages that made sense to our needs. He was very accommodating and had some great insight for our planning. He communicated leading up to our date and really removed any anxiety from us with his clear planning. I've been a bridesmaid before and Mark is so much more organized and prepared than other photographers I've experienced. On the day of, he was early, and all of my wedding party was impressed with how hard working he is, and his thoughtfulness. Our pictures are amazing!! So much better than we could even anticipate, we are just so thankful. You can't go wrong with choosing Mark. Thank you Mark!!
