Mari Harsan Studios

events and situations. Mari captured our wedding weekend in the most beautiful and creative ways. Eternally thankful for Mari's vision and effort as a wedding photography vendor for our wedding in 2022.

the day. Him and his team were so much fun to work with, our whole bridal party loved them! He also sent us all the raw footage from our wedding so we have that to watch as well! We highly recommend using George as your wedding videographer!

ruly memorable for me, my husband and our dog. From selecting breathtaking locations all over the Jefferson Memorial and water to guiding us through poses, Mari exhibited a perfect blend of professionalism and creativity. The final photos surpassed all expectations, beautifully showcasing the anticipation and joy of this special time. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Mari's talents to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated photographer for any occasion!

photographer made me feel the way Mari did. The amount of hype and support that she gives just brings out the joy in the day even more. It was a stressful day, there's no denying it, but when she was taking our photos we felt loved, adored and beautiful. I could not have asked for a better experience. It felt like my BFF was taking my photos! She's full of energy, and when you're exhausted she revives you. Her amount of direction, and initiation of different switches to make sure we had a variety of captures was appreciated and noted. She found the sweet silent moments that we didn't even notice that helped us relive this evening. Moments we didn't know happened we could watch unfold. The results are endless amounts of photos that we absolutely love. I can be pretty critical of myself in photos. I have never been in the position before with any other experience where I had countless favorites. I would choose Mari 100 times again, and me and my now husband immediately started brainstorming other opportunities to use her in the future. Don't hesitate, pick her. I promise she's worth it. Talented, beautiful, adoring, fun. You don't want anyone else behind the camera.

ement shoot and wedding, she was flexible, attentive to detail, and supportive of our vision. She also took the time to meet with us, develop a timeline, and answer our questions. Mari is a master photographer, and she will do anything to get the shot, while also making you feel confident and comfortable along the way. She always came to us with a smile on her face, and her team was very efficient with their work. We could tell that this was her passion after she spent 9 hours photographing every detail of our wedding without slowing down. We absolutely love our carefully crafted and edited photos, and we will cherish them forever. If you are looking for a photographer, we would wholeheartedly recommend that you hire Mari for your engagement and wedding.

ed with. She is so sweet and makes you feel very comfortable while she is shooting you. She is very responsive to email and easy to get a hold of. She was also very communicative when it came to the wedding and took the time to answer all of my questions ahead of time so that the timeline was planned thoroughly before the day of the wedding. The pictures that she provided were beyond amazing and extremely high quality. Mari and her assistant photographer, Megan, captured all of our special moments in such a way that we are able to relive the day every time we go through them. It was clear that Mari spent a lot of time and effort editing the photos, which we really appreciated. She even sent us the edited photos very quickly, considering how much time and effort it was clear she put into editing the photos. She provided so many different types of photos, including very cool artsy shots and some more traditional shots, which we loved! Mari is extremely friendly and fun. Not only do we love Mari but all of our guests did too! They were all talking about how sweet and friendly the photographer was, which was very important to us! She makes the "awkward" posed photoshoots into a really fun experience. My husband and I found ourselves laughing through the majority of the posed photoshoots because she makes it so relaxing and fun! Hiring Mari was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. I HIGHLY recommend Mari Harsan Studios if you are looking for the best wedding photographer in the Northern Virginia area!

e’s artistry and creativity shines through his work. The storyboarding, the music, the timing - look at 100 wedding films, from 100 different cinematographers, and you’ll recognize a Mari Harsan film when you see it because of the quality, style, and beauty of his work. Thank you George for your commitment to the process, your discipline when shooting, your attention to detail, your patience and pursuit of perfection, your impromptu DJing skills, your guidance during planning, your professionalism, and above all - your unique ability to capture the feeling of a day that transports us back in time when we watch your work.

rson and so so easy to work with. Extremely accommodating, cheerful, hard working and I could go on and on. Our guests even loved her because of her amazing energy. We took a really long time to pick photos for our albums because we simply couldn't narrow it down! She was by far my favorite wedding vendor, and gave us no trouble at all, actually the opposite, made everything so fun and easy. She was able to read our personalities and deliver exactly what we needed. She takes her work very seriously and it shows. I could not recommend her more, and I wish there was more than a 5 star rating that I could give her! Thank you Mari!!

d made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Mari and George not only connected so well with us, but they made sure to bond with our 4 year old daughter, who also gravitated to them. Both Mari and George walked us through the different shots they recommended, and video footage to be captured. Mari's ability to multi-task and execute flawless photography is amazing. George is unbelievable at working the distance shots and videography, including use of the drone. He even put up an amazing same-day-edit video during the reception, bringing his own projector and screen so the guests could enjoy. What we appreciated the most, aside from their clear expertise and quality of service, was how they were able to bring our fusion wedding (with all the different elements of both Indian and American) to life. They listened to us, provided great direction, were funny and goofy, and connected with us in a way we won't forget. The Harsan's are truly exceptional and we highly recommend their cinematography services for weddings and other large events. Really can't say enough about them. Great quality, great professionals, great human beings.

ests absolutely loved!! I can't say enough positive words to describe the Harsan's and would recommend their cinematography services for anyone's upcoming wedding.

ely professional and easy to speak with. Furthermore, her rates were reasonable and she was willing to cater a photography package to fit our needs. During the photo shoots, she had a very easy to work with. We were extremely happy with the our engagement photos and even more so with the final photos from our wedding day. The pictures Mari took look amazing… with so many great photos, we will have a hard time choosing which ones to print! Thank you so much for capturing all the special moments of our wedding day. You more than exceeded our expectations and we feel so lucky to have had such a talented photographer. You did a fantastic job! Thank you.

lad I did it. Getting to see the details made all the difference...being a bride is a blur. The video was seamless, genuine, and dramatic without being cheesy or over the top. Worth every penny. I can't recommend Mari Harsan Studios enough :)

y with you. Mari, George and their crew were awesome people to have around. I can honestly say THEY CAPTURED EVERY MOMENT and they did it while making us laugh during photo shoots and staying in the background during the memories. They had great senses of humor and were efficient, knowledgeable, responsive, and enormously talented! Our video is AMAZING, our photos are numerous and BEAUTIFUL. It was well worth the money. I will also say our situation was unique. We are a Swiss-American couple. We had the wedding here in the states and a blessing ceremony in Switzerland two weeks after. Mari and George dropped everything to get us our photos and video FINALIZED in two weeks!!! I doubt they can do this for everyone, but without being hired for that blessing ceremony, they still were a huge part of it as we showed the video during the ceremony. I cannot thank them enough- it meant so much to be able to share our actual wedding with family and friends who were not able to fly. In sum, if you want someone who creates an excellent product and goes above and beyond - stop looking for a photo or video vendor and start looking at Mari Harsan Studio's packages.

ional, but they have a vision like no one else in the industry. My husband and I first met Mari and George two years ago during a friends wedding. Immediately, we knew that we wanted them to do our wedding. I mean, drones flying capturing the moment, who does that! It wasn't only the way they work to capture the moments that left our jaws down, it was the approach that they took for the event. The same approach they took with us! We got to get to know Mari and George better during our engagement session, and they are just awesome people. They get it, and they see surrounding that make pictures incredible. We got soo many compliments on just our engagement pictures alone. Comments like "that looks like a magazine picture". You just can't go wrong with Mari Harsan Studios. They are truly the best of DC! For our wedding we hired both Mari and George, as they are skilled in seperate fields (Mari focuses on photography and George in cinematography). Well they came with all that they had. They had all of our guests with jaw dropped and how on top of it they were. They basically looked like a swat team ready to complete a mission. Final words - if you're looking for someone to capture one of the most important moments of your life, in a way that you'll cry every single time you see your pictures, then hire Mari Harsan. If you're looking to have wedding photographers that your friends will envy, hire Mari Harsan. If you're looking to have the incredible pictures/cinematography taken by the best photographer and cinematographer in the DMV area, then hire Mari Harsan. If you simply just want the best, hire Mari Harsan! Can they seriously get a 10 out 10!!!

ot included in our budget when we began wedding planning. My daughter and her fiancé are both very reserved and were afraid that the photographer/cinematographer combination might distract them. However, after viewing the artistic, touching films by Mari Harsan Studios, we agreed to give it a try. What a smart decision! My husband heard one guest exclaim at the reception, “These people are magic – how are they able to show videos ALREADY?!!” Perhaps it is a little magic, but it is also a lot of hard work, preparation, and sheer talent. It is being observant without being part of the scene and understanding the client and the client’s vision. Mari and George are artists and photographers as well as cinematographers. They (and assistant Bryan) know what looks good in still photos and how to enhance scenes for film, all without losing spontaneity or authenticity. I can’t wait to see the finished product, and I appreciate all the time and professionalism they put into my daughter’s wedding film.
