Tigran really understood our vision

Working with Tigran was an amazing experience from our engagement shoot up until our wedding day. He was so easy to work with, responsive and really understood our vision. He found the perfect lighting and locations for each of our intimate and group shots and his energy and care was apparent every step of the way. Our wedding party and family really enjoyed working with him as well. We can't wait to see all of the beautiful photos he captured on our special day. We would highly recommend Tigran for all your wedding photography needs!

Amazing team!!

Tigran was just incredible to work with throughout the entire process! I have known Tigran from my Maid of Honor, who also hired Tigran's team for her wedding. I got to work with him as a bridesmaid then, and I loved how professional, yet personable he was! When I submitted my inquiries, he was so quick to respond and made sure to address all my questions based on his expertise. He was so good at incorporating natural light and surroundingbto create beautiful pictures that reflected our personalities. Here are some of the logistics that Tigran's team excelled in in case anyone is looking for:
- Ourdoor ceremony with weather challenge. Our wedding day was beautiful but it was very windy. Tigran was so patient and good with the effect that wind actually brought in.
- Traditional ceremony. We did a Korean tea ceremony (Paebaek) in Korean traditional attire after our American wedding ceremony (wedding dress and tux). Tigran was so good at capturing the joyful moments with such cultural competency, and I understand that he has done a lot of cultural weddings like ours.
Most importantly, Tigran is such a fun, kind, and genuinly great person to work with, and we felt as if he came to celebrate our wedding as a good friend of ours - and he did become our good friend after all!

The best photographer

We loved our photographer and know that he’s the best option! There’s no way you could get better photos or a more fun, energetic, and awesome photographer. He is constantly capturing the best photos. His love for his profession is truly evident during and after the wedding. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better photographer that made our photography dreams come true on our wedding day. Dave and I can’t thank him enough for his hard work and amazing memories captured by the photos. Thanks a million! Book him now- he’s well worth any price because you’ll look at the awesome photos he takes for years to come. My wedding day flew by- so it was nice to have someone dedicated to capturing the little things I may have missed on my wedding day. If you want to book the most talented photographer out there- book Calypso Digital.

Professional and talented photographers

Tigran was great to deal with. We had to delay our wedding twice due to the pandemic and Tigran couldn’t have been any more flexible. He eventually couldn’t photograph our wedding due to a conflict but promised to send us another photographer from his company who’s equally talented. Barbora from Calypso ended up photographing our wedding and she was taking pictures for 12 hours straight. At some point I begged her to take a break and she still wouldn’t. The pictures are beyond amazing. She captured the moment, the invitees looked like they were having a blast and I am so happy we have those pictures to cherish the memories of that day. Barbora and Tigran, we can’t thank you enough!

Photographs capture the joyful mood of the event

Tigran exceeded our expectations. The photographs were expressive and natural. He is charming and was extremely easy to work with. We discovered after the event that he was not feeling well the day of the wedding, but he never showed any sign of it -- he was utterly in command. We cannot say enough positive things about him.

What a treat to work with Tigran!

Tigran was incredible to work with. He was easy to schedule engagement shoots with and was extremely passionate about his work. He joined us for the walkthrough at the venue so he could scope out the best places to shoot all of our shots at the wedding. His energy was infectious as he was so excited to be there through all of our special moments on our big day.

So Awesome!!

Tigran is such a great guy and easy to work with! His work from the beginning was beautiful and couldn't wait to work with him on the big day. On the day of he was very professional and on time, he introduced himself and told everyone what he will be doing. Throughout the whole day he was responsive and present. Definitely recommend.

Could not have been better

When we were looking for a wedding photographer, we did not want to cheap out. But at the same time, we had booked a more expensive venue than we originally planned. I met Tigran before we hired him and I thought his personality clicked with us. We agreed on a price that was within our budget but included everything we would have wanted (engagement session, 8 hours of photography at our wedding including some of that with an assistant photographer, an online album with our photos, a personalized engraved box including some prints of our photos and a thumb drive with our photos)

I am really glad we had the engagement session before the wedding. We ended up doing that in DC during peak Cherry Blossoms. It was a chance to become more comfortable with Tigran and being photographed.

When the wedding day came around, Tigran arrived not only on time, but slightly early. He traveled all the way to Warrenton for us. We had some issues with weather on our wedding day, and Tigran was happy to be flexible. We ended up deciding last minute to do a first look, we had to change locations and timing of a bunch of photos and he was great with that. He was also constantly looking for photo opportunities. He genuinely had fun photographing our wedding! Our bridal party and families loved him.

We got married on May 11th and got our photos back three months later (August 10th). The wait was a bit long, but completely worth it in our opinion. He delivered nearly 1,500 high quality, edited photos. During the wait period, he regularly posted a few photos on his Instagram page (with our permission) so we could get a preview. We really enjoyed having those photos pop upon our feed.

Overall, great experience. Will definitely recommend him to others. Thank you Tigran!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
