Mantas Kubilinskas Photography

he took a few candid photos of my husband and me, which we loved so much that we used it for our Save the Date before even hiring him! He was generous enough to fly out to Arizona for our wedding, AND found a second photographer in Arizona despite being based in DC. He worked tirelessly our entire wedding weekend to get action shots, candid photos of our friends and family, AND somehow charmed everyone in the process. As evidenced by his many awards, he is a star in the making and I can't recommend him highly enough. We can't wait for our final wedding photo--we know they will not only be beautiful aesthetically, but will capture the magic of the moment so that we can relive our wedding weekend in years to come!!

ts that we and our guests love going back to over and over. We had an unfortunate mishap with our first set of engagement photos and had to retake them, but Mantas was great about making up for it and gave us confidence that the wedding pictures would turn out awesome. My one complaint is that he's not very responsive via email, and I would often have to send multiple emails before getting a response. Nevertheless, the pictures all turned out incredible. I often feel like pictures don't do real-life settings justice, but I honestly feel like Mantas's pictures accurately captured the most beautiful and perfect day of my life.

s a little extreme, but really the vendors you hire are a huge part of your day!). I started emailing with Mantas over a year ago when a friend of mine recommended him to me after her wedding, and I immediately appreciated how friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable he was. Being an out of town bride, we actually ended up signing with Mantas before we even met him because I appreciated our interactions that much (and I knew from my friend and his Instagram that he did amazing work). A couple of great things that we also really liked about Mantas was that he offered a free engagement photo session (which, sense we're from out of town, ended up using for our rehearsal), that he gave us a discount on a photo booth (one of our guest's favorite part of our wedding), and that he let us set up a monthly payment plan (why pay it all up front if you don't have to?). On the day of the wedding, Mantas was on time, so incredibly laid back, calm, funny, and frankly just a joy to have there. His assistant immediately came in and got right to business starting to take the staged photos with my dress and accessories, and our rings. Mantas just talked to me as we began to get comfortable with each other and probably at least a half a dozen times that day, I told him that I was so thankful that he was there because I was having fun with him just being around and all of my bridesmaids agreed (when I saw my now husband, he said the same thing about Mantas). At the end of the night, the whole wedding party was sad to see Mantas go and he's one of the things that we'll miss most about the wedding planning process. All around, we had an A++ experience, wonderful time, and great memories. I couldn't recommend Mantas more and we can't wait to get the finals back, which we have no doubt will be fantastic.

tured our friends and our family as we know them, in their unguarded candid moments. His photographs are beautifully composed and are more than we could have ever hoped for from a photographer. But most importantly, Mantas was as much a guest at our wedding as any other person who attended. His natural affect puts all the guests at ease, and allows him to capture those photographs which will be memories of your friends and loved ones - looking natural and happy (as should be). For our second wedding, Mantas travelled to New Hampshire from Virginia. His flight was cancelled the day before and he DROVE FROM VIRGINIA, to be there. He didn't call to complain, ask for an out - instead he rented a car and came. Because he knew that if he cancelled, there is no backup. What more could you possibly ask for. If you have the opportunity to hire Mantas, do so. If you have an opportunity to meet Mantas, do so. Our wedding would not have been the same without his presence and we would not have the memories we have without his phenomenal photographs. We hired Mantas because of his portfolio and his reviews - believe them both, he is phenomenal!!'

He is down to earth guy with a passion to observe and capture the moment in one’s live that matters profoundly. He builds a trusting relationship with the clients and understands their deepest desires. Mantas works tirelessly to offer his clients the best service for a reasonable price. Gives innovative ideas to colleagues. He is the easiest person to work with, but also very professional. Invites everyone around him to laugh and loosen up all the while snapping award winning photos. After working with Mantas You will feel more than happy, You will feel complete in Your Journey towards excellence.

se of six months we got to know him through meetings, our engagement session, and our wedding day. He showed up early, stayed late, and took the most incredible photos. It was a great mix for my husband and I - I wanted the more traditional wedding shots, but my husband wanted some unique photos, like big sweeping shots and non-traditional candids. Mantas delivered both. Cannot recommend him enough.

e in front of the camera and truly listens to you - likes, dislikes, preferences, etc. We had the most fun at our engagement session which was taken while my husband and I paddle boarded and our wedding day ended up being cold and rainy and Mantas still managed to make it a fun experience capturing photos. The photos turned out beautifully and it's true what they say, rainy days make for the best photos. The delivery of our photos was so well curated and designed, we were in awe when the package arrived. We would not hesitate to recommend Mantas. You will not be disappointed!

n tears with the incredible moments he captured. By far the best investment we made in our wedding. Thank You Mantas for being so awesome!

their work. Its not just the picture that they take but the angle, the feel and drama around it. You look at the picture and think, oh my god, why do I look so stunning in this shot! Photography is not just a work but clearly a passion for Mantas! I <3 their work. They are my top favorite creative experts for sure!

o really capture things from a different perspective. He knew where to stop, had a positive attitude and kept things looking natural rather than posed. We love how everything came out! We cannot wait to work with him again.

er!

spirit of the day. Highly recommended wedding photographer.

hotographs to relive the moments over the many years to come. What we didn't consider was how truly wonderful the whole experience would be. Mantas provided a complementary engagement shoot which helped us get to know him and loosen up so our wedding day went even more smoothly. His sense of humor and personality were easy to get along with and kept us laughing throughout the shoot. He even traveled from DC to NY to capture us in our new home environment! On the day of the wedding he and his second shooter split up to capture the moments of the Bride and bridesmaids as well as the Groom and Groomsmen getting ready, celebrating and savoring the morning. We were able to include our many friends/family in so many different settings, and he captured the sentimentality, the humor and the pure joy of our day. Mantas was always prompt, professional and open to any suggestions and ideas. I CANT WAIT to get my pictures back because I know they will be fantastic. Thank you Mantas for this fabulous journey, and I highly recommend any lucky bride and groom to book his services before he is already full.

tography, Mantas included a second skilled photographer on the wedding day and an engagement photo set. I was blown away by his creativity and skill.

we got our photos back. He captured our wedding day so much better than we ever could have imagined. He was also very easy to work with, making us feel at ease on the other side of the camera. He also hung in with our crazy friends as we tromped all over Old Town. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Thank you Mantas for capturing our special day so well!

For instance, he photographed us in a modern art museum and used the geometric shapes, lighting, and structures to create clever photographic illusions and remarkably beautiful images. While taking photographs in Georgetown, Mantas displayed his skills for utilizing ordinary objects and backdrops to create very impressive images. Not only is he a skilled and creative photographer, Mantas is a very charismatic individual with a great sense of humor. He made our photo shoot enjoyable! Overall, we would highly recommend Mantas' services to anyone who is open to taking photographs with a creative and interesting twist.

e couldn't pass up on. He was super early on arriving and stayed until the very end. We were even able to get family portraits done at the end of the reception.
