CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!

We are DCPG, a family-owned company that has been photographing people in love for the past 13 years and counting. DCPG's signature wedding photography style is a pleasing mix of fleeting moments, attention to tiny details, dramatic portraits and, most of all, preserving the essence of your love in a way that is unique to you. Our wedding photography has been featured on Catalyst Wedding Co, Aisle Society, Tidewater & Tulle, Borrowed & Blue (may she rest), the Knot, Munaluchi Bride, Simply Elope, and Modern Hawaii Weddings!

We're huge believers in the power of print photography and strive to make sure every couple that we photograph leaves with a piece of wall art or an heirloom album to pass down through generations. With this in mind, ALL of our wedding collections now include an album.

We can't wait to hear from you!

Newborn/Baby Portraiture | Boudoir | Photobooth | Commercial Photography

Love our Engagement and Wedding Photos!

We couldn't be happier with our choice to go with DCPG for our engagement and wedding photos. Mendell, Ciesther, and Lester were absolutely outstanding! They displayed professionalism throughout the entire process. We had a lot of ideas and DCPG was very flexible to incorporate them into our photos. Everyone loved the creativity! The photo-booth was awesome and a great choice. DCPG was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We highly recommend!

We love our photos!

Ciesther and team are amazing! They were so easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding, and took the time to meet with us to get to know us, and what we wanted out of our wedding photos. Our guests kept commenting on how it seemed like our photographers were everywhere capturing everything! We could not be more thrilled with our photos and are so happy we chose DCPG!

The first thing I knew when I started planning our wedding was that DCPG had to be our photographers! They were so accommodating (they had to travel 500 miles for the wedding) and so easy to work with over email. I showed them the kinds of photos that I wanted, but also left room for their creativity -- and all the photos turned out perfectly. They're so fun to be around too, that it just makes the experience that much better! SUPER highly recommended!

DCPG is amazing! Not only do they take beautiful photos, but they are so much fun to work with. They definitely kept us laughing, it was a blast to have them there! They take up to a couple months after the wedding to send you the photos, but it's worth the wait, since they are all professionally edited and look stunning. We had two photographers for our wedding day, which I would highly recommend, since it was cool to see the ceremony from different angles. Their team is professional, responds in a timely manner, and genuinely cares about getting you the best photos possible. I would recommend them for any special occasion where photos are a must!

DCPG made our Awesome Themed house party wedding... well AWESOME!!!! We planned our wedding from Florida to have in VA. The team at DCPG were not only professional, they made us feel like a family member was taking the photos. Their emphasis on making us feel comfortable and finding the WOW moments of our special day where just as important to them as it was to us. We cannot express how pleased we were for hiring DCPG... from the mini photo shoot before our special day, to the ability to roll with our event, and finally in providing the most fun photo booth experience. We give DCPG an A for being AWESOME and making our day AMAZING!!!

Stop reading these reviews and just pick up the phone to set an appointment with DCPG! I guarantee that you will fall in love not only with Ciesther, Mendell and Lester's unbelievable work but with who they are as caring, hilarious individuals, as well.

Although we planned our wedding from across the country, we'd seen enough of DCPG's talent through friends to know that they would capture all of our special moments in a unique and beautiful way.

On top of their wedding photography, DCPG's photobooth was a big hit with our guests during the reception, and these shots created a more personalized guest book with fun photos to accompany our family and friends' sweet messages.

Hiring DCPG was the absolute best vendor decision that we made for our wedding, and we will cherish our photos for the rest of our lives. :)

Where to begin with DCPG....they are AWESOME!!!!! I wish there was a way to attach pictures just so that I could show the amazing "teaser" pics we have already received. We first worked with Lester for our engagement shoot and that was a lot of fun. It was a full day which turned out awesome shots. Then for our wedding we had Lester, Mendel, and Ciesther. Those three are truly magicians with the camera. We can't wait until all of our pics are ready. They are such a great group to work with. I haven't stopped bragging about working with them and we plan to use their services again in the future. You will not be disappointed if you chose to use DCPGs services.

DCPG was one of those vendors we had no hesitation about. We wanted beautiful and quality photos. We went with DCPG because we love their final product. We did engagement photos, wedding photos and even went with the photobooth! All I can say is that I never had to worry about anything with DCPG. My husband and I just showed up and they helped us look our best! We also like that this business is a family business and they were so easy to contact and work with.

Thanks DCPG for making our wedding one to remember. Our guests loved the photobooth and we love our photos!!!!!

If there was a 5.0+ on this scale, we would give it to DCPG! If I could add rainbow sprinkles and lollipops to my write up about DCPG I would---because I love them.
My husband and I used DCPG for our their "open format" photo booth for our Northern Virginia wedding in May 2011. This company is based in the Norfolk, VA area, but will travel to Northern Virginia.
I had been in contact with several photo booth companies prior to finding DCPG, and what a relief it was to talk to REAL people who LOVED their jobs and were GENUINELY interested in our wedding. They will work with you on set-up size and details, they are very competitively priced, and are much more attentive and professional than the vast majority of photo booth companies I dealt with. I will make an admission here--- I fell in love with the people that run this family-owned company (Ciesther is a smiling dream--read the profile page and you will want to be friends with these people and invite them to every BBQ and family event), and during our wedding reception came to experience that the quality of their product was just as wonderful as their personalities. Have you ever been super excited to meet your vendors? Is signed them without an in person meeting, and met them for the first time at the wedding---and everything went off without a hitch.

This family is creative, caring, personally invested in the product they bring to your wedding, and interested in your wedding party having fun in their photo booth.

Are you wondering why you may want an "open format" photo booth over the traditional boxed in photo booth? The benefits of the "open format" versus an old school photo booth is that you can get many more people in the picture---which allows for some HILARIOUS pictures. And speaking of the pictures---the staff will assemble a beautiful photo album for you while the guests are funneling through the booth. My husband and I look at the album regularly and crack up at the wonderful memories we have of people doing silly props in the photo booth!

If you dream of a wedding with a photo booth, and you want a photo booth that is SUPER fun, that is NOT an eye sore (we have all been to weddings with a totally embarrassing falling apart photo booth that has seen to many rough nights--Not DCPG--they are so clean, compact, and tidy!) and is staffed by people that love their job and believe in the quality of their product---Contact DCPG. We had already secured a photographer when we found DCPG, but one of the owners took some "behind the scenes" pictures at our wedding that were AMAZING--check out their talented photographers while you are checking out their photo booth. Their photography/photo booth packages are quite competitive and compelling!

As a recent bride I can tell you this----You won't be sorry---and that is all any bride and groom REALLY want when it comes to their wedding photography. Check out their website and facebook page for samples---if you have any doubts contact them and begin a conversation. Dealing with them will be refreshing in the midst of wedding vendor hell!

DCPG made everything so easy for us. We met, we booked, and the rest was history! They were on time, they had 3 photograhers present and caught so many wonderful memories. They truly made our wedding a dream come true. My mom said they are young, energetic, and just simply amazing. The photos they took truly told a story.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
