One of the most important decisions you will make about your wedding is choosing the right photographer—someone who truly understands every aspect of the wedding and assigns the same importance as you do to the critical details. You will spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day (and possibly before)! First and foremost, your photographer must be someone you like and trust. Wedding photography comes with a huge responsibility: capturing the essence and story of your wedding on the first attempt.

Shoshana was so great to work with from the very beginning. We had an initial consultation where I dumped all of my thoughts and ideas of what I wanted. She was so great with helpi...
ng me organize these thoughts into something concrete, which was such a huge relief. She suggested a timeline for the day of, which I truly appreciated because I wasn't sure where to even begin. Because I wanted to take photos on the National Mall, she informed me about the need for permits, something I hadn't even considered, so I appreciated her knowledge of the location. Shoshana and her colleague were so helpful on the actual day, suggesting photo poses and locations, and taking us to the venue so we wouldn't have to worry about getting a taxi. They even drove us around the National Mall for photos and dropped us off back at home when we were done. We truly appreciated every bit of advice and assistance. The photos were better than I had envisioned.
Hiring Shoshana for our recent at-home wedding in October was a wonderful experience! Both she and her partner were really adept at capturing the event with minimal direction and t...
hey took wonderful photos. Shoshana is such a pleasure to communicate with, as she's incredibly responsive and thorough. I would certainly hire her for an event again.
My husband and I were lucky enough to have had Moments by Shoshana at our wedding for photography and videography.
I first contacted Shoshana after seeing her photos on The Knot ...
and on her website. The quality, style, and overall look of her images stood out to me. It wasn’t after speaking to Shoshana and meeting her and her husband that we felt they were a good match for us!
Our wedding was postponed a year due to covid, but no matter the situation or change of plans, Shoshana was always available for us by phone, email, etc. and whatever we needed she was ready!
On our wedding day, things were a bit hectic, but Shoshana and her husband were so comforting, patient, warm, and professional that it put my nerves to ease and I knew we made the best decision to have them there with us to capture our special day.
However, their hard work did not stop after that. They worked tirelessly on the photos and video to make sure we had the best quality possible! They really have given us incredible memories we can look back on.
We hope that everyone is lucky enough to have the experience we had and get the chance to work with Moments by Shoshana!
Shoshana and her assistant are well-organized, highly professional and great photographers. We loved the end product, including custom bound books in addition to images themselves....
On the wedding day, Shoshana had a clear vision of what posed photographs would work well and was efficient getting them, quickly organizing people for all the requisite family and wedding party shots. This allowed us to have beautiful documentation of our big day, while allowing us to spend our time enjoying it. During planning, we did not have a wedding planner, so Shoshana's advice on how to stage the ceremony and reception to photograph well was helpful. I would recommend Shoshana to any couple for their wedding.
A wedding is an interesting experience, and it is important to share your experience with others, because, let’s admit it, you are supposed to do it only once! 😊 For us it has bec...
ome clear that the choice of photographer/videographer for your wedding is one of the most important choices that you are going to make for a successful, joyful and memorable wedding feast… So, choose wisely! Spend sufficient time (and budget) selecting the service provider. In this regard, my wife and I must highly recommend “Moments by Shoshana”. The team consists of Shoshana herself and her husband Jacques. Here are the two aspects that we believe made them such an excellent choice for this very important assignment: (i) First, they are wonderful, warm people who really care about the couple and are very aware of the importance of the moment. It is clear that they really enjoy weddings and bask in the happiness of the couple. (ii) Second, and equally important, they are technically very, very good: they sure are professionals! They were able to make a video and pictures of the highest quality in a rather dark church where extra lights or flashes were not allowed. They took the most wonderful and intimate pictures all the way until the end of the festivities, without being obtrusive or being “all over the place”. They delivered the video product and the pictures both electronically on-line, on a hard drive and in the form of a beautiful picture book rather quickly after the wedding and we were really blown away by the quality and the choices she made. Finally, “Moments by Shoshana” delivers excellent value compared to many other photographers in the D.C. area. Shoshanna also provided us with many options and combinations which allowed us to stay within our budget and still have a fantastic product. We strongly recommend meeting with Shoshana before you make any decisions: she takes her time to get to know you and your circumstances and at no time will you feel rushed or pressured. It was like meeting with a long-lost family member who can’t wait to share your happiness with you. Thank you Shoshana and Jacques, for a most wonderful experience!
There aren't enough kind words to describe the photo journalist and videography team, Moments by Shoshana. As a planner, I am always thrilled to meet professionals who share a com...
mon goal – to please the bride and groom from start to finish. In this wedding business, I’ve come across professionals who show up and leave. Yes, they are hired to do the job but it’s the extra mile of attentiveness, sacrifice, creativity, kindness, and professionalism that make the wedding day even more special. I met Shoshana at the wedding rehearsal. She wanted to be fully prepared by capturing the lighting and understanding the Catholic church protocol for where best to stand to capture photos. Shoshana knew that as creatives and artists, their job was to snap and capture love and laughter, moments that most brides and grooms don’t see or commonly forget, but in a discreet manner. Shoshana stayed well over the contracted time because as was said to me throughout this glorious day, “it’s one shot, it’s their wedding.” I will be recommending Moments by Shoshana to every bride and groom I meet. You are in good hands. The whole process was wonderful with them and I am so glad my Bride and Groom entrusted them to capture their day (because the pictures and video will be phenomenal).
Shoshana helped us select a great location for our engagement photos. Her professionalism was evident from the very start as she had as pose in several great spots. We were both fe...
eling a bit self-conscious about being photographed at first but Shoshana helped us feel very much at ease. My fiance was really hamming it up by the end of the photo shoot! The proofs are back and the photos she took are amazing. I am so glad we took the time to capture this special time, in a beautiful place, with such an exceptional photographer.
Shoshana is amazing to work with! She is very communicative, even when I wasn't! Her portfolio is what drew me to her. I love what she captures in photos.
She made the planning pr...
ocess so easy for me! Shoshana was able to get exactly what I did and didn't want captured on our big day. She photographed getting ready, the ceremony, and the reception. Shoshana and her assistant were punctual, courteous, and so easy to work with! I would definitely love to work with her again if I needed a photographer!
Her packages and prices are well priced and even customizable to what you are looking for. She made the whole process easy when there are so many photographers out there.
Thank you so much, Shoshana! I love what you captured for us! We look forward to the opportunity to work with you again!
Highly recommend! Complete sweetheart to work with, amazing photography and super responsive throughout. Great pricing packages! She knows the traditions and trends of weddings...
and can help guide you with all of those decisions that you never even thought you had to make! And she’s wonderful at herding you and your guests through the major shots, even when you start wandering off or have guests crash the post screening pictures. I would book her again in a heartbeat. ♥️
Shoshana is the best! She captured many special moments of my most important day with her attention to detail. She is very professional and she genuinely cares about providing the ...
best experience possible. Her friendly demeanor made us very comfortable. The photos came out amazing. I recommend her without reservation.
Shoshanna was the photographer in our wedding. She did a phenomenal job capturing the ceremony and the party. Due to her friendly personality, we felt very comfortable around her. ...
As per our previous agreement, most of the shots from the wedding were candid moments, not posed. However, in addition, we had a short session of traditional wedding shots before the ceremony as well. Both the rehearsed and the natural pictures came out great, with vibrant colors. Moreover, we received our photos in a timely manner, 2 weeks after the event, as soon as we got back from the honeymoon. Highly recommend!
Shoshana was an amazing photographer, who took beautiful pictures in our traditional Jewish wedding in a historic synagogue. In not necessarily the best lighting due to the limited...
facade of the old building, she managed to take phenomenal shots of us going through one of the most important rituals of our lives. The pictures were natural, yet fully capturing our excitement in an elegant manner. Most importantly, my new wife was ecstatic with the outcome.
We were lucky to have Shoshana photograph our wedding day! She managed to make it work and fitted our Istanbul wedding into her travel schedule.
Shoshana was absolutely profession...
al. We could not be happier with the end product. She knew the wedding timeline very well, and was there to capture all the critical moments.
The images captured the essence of our wedding day artistically. She has a great eye for candid moments as well as posed images. She composed each posed image artistically.
We relived the day while browsing the images. You should have Shoshana design your wedding album. I would strongly recommend her to any bride!
I'd recommend Shoshana without hesitation for your special occasion. She was able to capture a lot of special moments among the beautiful D.C. landmarks. Shoshana was receptive t...
o our ideas and incorporated them in our actual wedding photo shoot. Professional, efficient, and friendly, Shoshana put us at ease and helped guide us through the shoot, using the best angles and lighting to capture the best photos. The day was documented perfectly, and although I found the strong wind to be a bit challenging, Shoshana was upbeat and positive, using the wind to capture unique photographs. Thank you for your guidance, Shoshana! And for capturing such special memories!
Shoshana was amazing in making sure our photoshoot was romantic yet timeless. She also insured our dog was captured as part of the engagement photo shoot as well. She made us feel ...
relaxed and made it fun yet remaining professional. Shoshana is a one of kind photographer and I highly recommend her for any type of photoshoot. Thanks Soshanna for the perfect pictures.
This is the second time we are working with Shoshana, and she again did a great job! She was able to capture the best moments. Her work is of great quality and she is very professi...
onal. She was also very creative with suggestions to create the best scenes and she quickly familiarized herself with the facility and the surroundings to make sure we do not miss opportunities for great photos and memories. I would strongly recommend her.
Shoshanna is an amazing photographer. She is definitely our top choice for every family event. We worked together on several projects, including birthdays, important family events,...
and a newborn photo session. Each and every time we felt like we couldn’t have made a better choice. Not only Sosi has an amazing eye for a good moment, she is very flexible and easy to work with. She was able to move the meetings to accommodate our busy schedules and make last minute adjustments, and incorporate any additional requests. The quality of her work always beats our expectations; her photos are full of life, colorful, and never resemble your typical staged photography. I highly recommend booking a session with Sosi, she is worth every penny!
Shoshana was absolutely amazing! She was very professional. We were so excited for our friend and focused on making the most of each moment at her wedding, we almost missed some ve...
ry special moments, if it weren't for Shoshana's attention to detail. She really knows what moments to capture! She also had a fantastic sense of perspective and aesthetics. She knew exactly what would work the best, in terms of where to stand, what to do, what to fix; the photos came out perfect! She was also very friendly, natural, and sincere. She was almost like a member of our group, which made us all very comfortable. It was very easy to communicate with her, as well. She was super responsive. In summary, I highly recommend Shoshana! She clearly is very passionate about photography and capturing special moments.
Shoshana is not only a great photographer, but also an amazing person! She made us feel at ease from the moment we met her. We got amazing images to cherish forever and had a splen...
did experience with her during the shoots before and after the wedding.
She was with us every step of the way from the beginning till the end, capturing every moment and giving us many stories to tell from our wedding day. She and her assistant kept me in good spirits despite all the stress!
Thank you Shoshana!
