    Mari is the absolute best!

    I cannot say enough good things about Mari! Not only is the quality of her work amazing, but she makes you feel confident and comfortable while taking the photos. She pays attention to small details and captures the most beautiful and small moments on camera. I am so happy with my photos. If you live in the DMV, you need to hire her!

    Photography/Videography

    Wedding #2: September 2023
    After having a most wonderful experience in working with Mari-Harsan for a wedding last year, we once again retained MH to capture the second wedding celebration in the family. Once again, what a phenomenal professional team!! It was the most pleasent experience as Mari and her team captured beautiful shots of the wedding festivities. They showed up on time; were very generous with their time and efforts; and are an absolute pleasure to work with. I most highly recommend this team to capture your memories.

    Wedding #1: May 2022
    I and my family retained Mari-Harson to capture on camera, my daughter’s wedding which took place last weekend. George and Mari have been phenomenal to work with from the time we retained them. Both of them are very personable and extremely easy to work with. They are super organized, very proactive, and make a fantastic team together. They provided a questionnaire to me and my family and captured the details of each of the events that were being planned. They showed up ahead of schedule and brought along sufficient team members along, especially at the Ceremony and Reception, so activities going on at different parts of the venue could be captured. It is too soon (just 4 days since the wedding) to receive photos and videos, so I haven’t seen them yet, but I cannot imagine them to be less than gorgeous. What a feast it would be to go through the photos and videos they captured. I am waiting with baited breath. Mari is high energy! George is adept with his video camera and both of them are absolutely a pleasure to work with.

    Pick her now

    The only thing decision that I'm as sure about as marrying my husband, is choosing Mari to take my photos. For context, we had a 200 person multi-event, fusion Indian wedding.
    At this point in my life I have used a photographer probably seven times for various things from proposal, engagement, family photos. No 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.

    Amazing Photographer!

    Mari is an absolutely amazing photographer, and we highly recommend working with her. Finding an excellent photographer was our top priority for us, and we were lucky enough to have Mari capture our wedding in September 2022. For both our engagement 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.

    Must have vendor

    I hired Mari for my wedding ceremonies back in Nov 2021. I have always loved her work and knew I wanted to book her. My partner and I made the decision to have virtual ceremonies because we have immune compromised family members. Mari was free on the Sunday that we were having our ceremonies and since it was virtual we didn't need a photographer for that long, 3 hours. We did engagement photos with her as well. Mari is soo sweet and takes amazing photos that we absolutely love. The icing on the cake was hiring George to do the videography for our ceremonies. At first I thought George would be out of my price range, but turns out he wasn't. I don't know why I thought he would be out of my price range and struggled to find someone who would do work for the 3 hour ceremonies. we actually had a hard time and I had reached out and am so forever grateful that he was available and able to do it. This duo are amazing and worth every penny!

    Incredible photography

    We wanted to be able to look back at photos and feel the vibe of our wedding. The people, the moments, the energy. Mari captured it all so perfectly and with a genuine kindness and easygoing approach that made her a joy to work with.

    We did an engagement shoot not long before the wedding mostly to get used to working together. We started in DC Reynolds, the bar where my wife and I had our first date (they were awesome about us taking photos there btw), and then at Malcolm X park, a few blocks from where we live. When we got those photos back - quickly - we saw for ourselves that Mari has a gift for creativity. We even used some of those first photos to make signage at the wedding.

    On the wedding days - the Punjabi-style Sangeet and Baraat and the U.S.-style ceremony and reception - Mari and her team were everywhere they needed to be and produced stunning photographs. We have so many favorites it's impossible to choose even for this review. We ended up printing out hundreds of physical photos to send to guests with our thank-you cards, which also featured two of Mari's photos, and people absolutely loved them.

    Please, please work with Mari if you can. You won't regret it for a second.

    Most Talented Photographer in DC Area

    Mari is the most talented photographer I have ever met! She shot both our engagement photoshoot and wedding and I can't describe in words what an amazing job she did.

    First off, she is one of the most pleasant people that I have ever interacted 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!

    I got engaged; the next day, I called George. What more needs to be said?

    Simply put - that’s the sense of urgency you need to secure this level of talent. We set our date only after confirming his availability. It’s truly unparalleled. George’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.

    Couldn’t be more thankful for George for documenting our wedding. He exceeded our expectations and is truly best in the field. Mari and George have documented a few of my family weddings including ours; and I am beyond happy with the results. Working with them is easy and a no brainer!

    Mari is an amazingly talented photographer. She photographed both our engagement shoot and our wedding. Not only were the pictures beautifully and artistically done but the experience was relaxed and enjoyable. During the engagement shoot, she was great at directing us through a variety of shoots. At the wedding, she was able to capture special moments without us even feeling she was there. My husband and I were very satisfied -- and we have very particular taste! I can recommend Mari without hesitation -- she's the real deal.

    Mari and George and their team truly are different. From the beginning, they put in the extra effort. They made a trip into DC and met me near my work during the week so we had enough time to discuss my vision and answer any questions I had.

    Now, fast forward to the day of the wedding -- We spent over 10 hours with them on the day of our wedding and they were nothing less of patient, gracious and kind. They orchestrated our timeline precisely and thought on the fly when one photo location didn't work out due to a permit mishap.

    While I knew their work was going to be great from seeing examples of past weddings and events they've worked, you can never quite judge attitude until day of. They were all just so pleasant to be around and by the end of the day, I felt like they were simply friends taking our pictures because we were so comfortable with them.

    Their style is a healthy combination of posed formats shots, creative artistic shots and candid shots. If I ever had a suggestion, they didn't think twice to make the image come true.

    My only regret is that I'm not getting married again to be able to enjoy their work again! For anyone getting married in the DC area, look no further, Mari Harsan Studios is the right pick!

    George and his team did an excellent job in filming my 3 day wedding. He was very professional and easy to talk to during our consultation appointments. He even made the effort to come meet us in person during one of our wedding vendor hunts. Ha same day edit was mind blowing and so magical. He made me and my husband feel at ease while filming keys shots, it felt like he was not there. I am so please we chose him as our cinematographer. I cannot wait to see the entire film he has captured! Thank you for capturing such magical moments for us.

    My wife and I knew we selected the right photo/video team as soon as we met them. Mari and George were an absolute pleasure to work with, throughout pre-planning, engagement pictures, and day-of events. They are so playful, down to earth, and 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.

    Mari and George were awesome to work with! While filming throughout our wedding day, George made everyone feel comfortable and walked us through the different shots he wanted to capture! He also played a short video during our reception that guests 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.

    We had a great experience working with Mari! We first met her when she worked a friend’s wedding. We were very impressed when we saw those photos, so she was the first photographer we called once we got engaged. Upon meeting her, she was extremely 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.

    Mari is the best of the best, it's just that simple! She did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding shoot, and we get compliments on our wedding photos ALL the time and people are just wowed by them. On top of that, she is the sweetest person 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!!

    Mari and George were our wedding videographers, and they did a PHENOMENAL job of capturing all of the emotions and the feeling of our big day. We were on the fence about videography services, but Mari and George's incredible work was worth every penny -- I know we'll treasure our beautiful video for decades to come!

    Note to brides who have not done this before: you do not realize how much of a role your photographer/videographer play in your special day (or at least I didn't). They are all around you during every special moment and they spend the entire day 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.

    Absolutely everything I dreamed of. My wedding day was the happiest day of my life and I'm so glad that I trusted in George to capture the perfect moments for me to relive whenever I want. Getting a video was a last minute decision and I'm so glad 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 :)

    While we have not seen the completed film yet, we have every reason to believe it will capture the sentiments, fun, energy, happiness and love of a beautiful event based on the movie loop presented during the reception. A cinematographer was not 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.

    Truly amazing, awe-inspiring, magnificent, are only a few words to describe the work that both Mari and George, from Mari Harsan Studios do. They are just truly brilliant in their photography and cinematography skills. Not only are they professional, 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 we just give Mari Harsan Studios a 10 out of 10!!!!

    Mari and George were a dream come true to work with! We spent a lot of time doing our research and came across Mari Harsan Studios to do our wedding day Cinematography. It may have been the easiest decision we made during the wedding planning process once we found them. Mari was very responsive with any questions we had along the way and George is beyond talented. All of our guests were in awe when George had a loop of the wedding playing at the reception. It was just amazing and we still have guests asking us how that was possible! George captured the most special moments and we couldn’t be happier with the results. What he does is truly so special and unique that it sets him apart from others. He is hard working, has great attention to detail, and a joy to work with. He goes with the flow while at the same time ensuring he gets everything he needs to make the movie perfect. We are so lucky to have these memories that will last a lifetime! I can’t say enough good things about Mari & George!

    After weeks of exhaustive and thorough searching, we decided to go with Mari Harsan Studios based off of their stellar work, but it was not until later that we realized what a great decision we made! Mari was so warm and quick to respond, we knew instantly that they would be a delight to work with. They were extremely flexible and understanding when we made changes. We had an absolute blast with Mari and George during our engagement session. They made us feel very comfortable and it showed in our pictures. It was obvious that we would love the pictures they took, but when we saw them, we were overwhelmed by how beautiful they were. I was absolutely in love with the shots and became very excited to see what they would do with the wedding.

    When it came to the week of the wedding, we never had to check in on Mari or her team. It is such a relief to know that you are working with professional and responsible vendors. We had a lot of events and it gave us peace of mind to see them working diligently the entire time. Taking portraits with them was so much fun that it became a highlight of our week. The morning of the wedding, we had been running late on our end but the entire team was so efficient, they were able to make up time during the portrait shoot without compromising the session whatsoever. Time is critical during weddings and having a photographer who is conscious of that was a great gift to us. The looper that was shown at our reception was so stunning that we are still receiving compliments on it. George worked hard in between of events to put it together, and it showed how much talent he has to put together a high quality video in such a short period of time.

    Not only did we get phenomenal coverage, but Mari and George actually added to our wedding experience! We realized afterwards that their energy and presence alone made the weekend that much more special. The only regret I have is that we didn’t get more time to work with Mari and her team!

    I initially emailed Mari based on the positive reviews she had received. However, what sold me on her as the photographer for my wedding was her amazing photos, upbeat personality, and knowledge of the trade. I am a graphic designer, so I spend a lot of my day looking at photographs, so I can definitely tell the difference between good photos and exceptional photos. Mari's certainly fall into the latter category. You can see it in the way she handles the light in each image, the crispness of her detail shots, and the lushness of the black and white photographs.

    She could not have been more wonderful the day of our wedding. She (as well as her second photographer, Mary), instantly put me at ease. They were excited to be at our wedding and had endless patience. When taking photos of myself and my husband as well as larger groups, she was very specific about telling people what to do, where to stand, etc. so it made the process go so much smoother. They were also prepared with two cameras each and plenty of extra lighting equipment. I was impressed by how on top of their game they were. The guests noticed, too. I had several people come up to me during the night and say what a great job they thought Mari and Mary were doing. They were right there when an important moment was happening but they were all not intrusive. I never felt like I was being followed by the paparazzi.

    Finally, we included our dog in our wedding, and she was just as adept and happy to photograph her as she was the human guests.

    I would recommend Mari in a heartbeat to anyone needing a photographer.

    We loved hanging out with Mari and George on the day of our wedding! They were professional and made sure we kept to our timeline, but at the same time they were fun and didn't mind us occasionally goofing off. They really went the extra mile, including coming to the venue before the wedding to scout out locations for portraits, setting up a live stream for our relatives abroad, and flattering us endlessly with compliments.
