Incredible Wedding Photographer!

Nick was professional, personable, and extremely easy to work with. He came prepared with a clear vision for our poses and backdrops, resulting in wedding portraits that looked like they came out of a fairytale. During the ceremony, Nick circulated constantly to capture all the best angles and he even recorded a video of the entire ceremony so we wouldn’t miss a moment.

The quality, lighting, and editing of Nick’s photos are truly impeccable. His enthusiasm, helpfulness, and diligence in his work made him an absolute delight to have at our wedding ceremony. We are so thrilled with our wedding portraits and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Nick!

Nick & Lee made our day so special!

We had such a fantastic experience with Nick and his associate, Lee. Nick hosted a "get to know you" zoom, which helped us get to know each other and feel comfortable and understand what to expect (this was really helpful for a couple who is camera shy) -- we loved how at ease he made us feel before and during the whole ceremony. Nick and Lee had great attitudes, were genuinely happy to be there, and were patient and dedicated. We loved the experience and the photos are incredible!

Amazing Professional Headshots!

We had an excellent experience working with JB Elliott Photography for our OBGYN office headshots. Nick was incredibly professional from start to finish, offering both indoor and outdoor options that gave us a wide range of high-quality images. He captured beautiful individual portraits as well as group photos that truly represent our practice. We are thrilled with the final results and will be using the images across our website and professional marketing materials. We highly recommend JB Elliott Photography for any medical or professional setting!

Stellar DC Wedding Photographer!

Nick at JB Elliot Photography was absolutely incredible and I would recommend him again and again for any wedding in the DC area. He was so kind, patient, and flexible. He came with lots of creative, elegant portrait ideas, but he was also able to easily adapt to last-minute requests. We could not be happier with our resulting photos!

Beautiful and dynamic photography!

Nick was wonderful to work with, and took time to understand our vision for the photography. He was also incredibly attuned to the dynamics of our blended families, and was thoughtful and sensitive in his approach to planning both portraits and less-formal photos. The result was a collection of absolutely stunning photos that perfectly captured the joy, beauty, and love that filled the event. Looking through the photos was so much fun - we got to relive moments that we were a part of, as well as get glimpses into the sweet, emotional, and funny interactions of our friends and family. We have a mix of beautiful portraits and organic photos of our guests. These are photos that we will treasure for years to come. Our expectations were exceeded in every way!

JB Elliott Photography, Exceptional photography services at a great value!

We Highly recommend JB Elliott Photography after having had the pleasure of working with the team (Nick and Ken) for our Wedding ceremony and reception this past June 2025. From finding JB Elliott Photography after reading a number of reviews and post regarding black owned photography companies in the DMV area to reviewing the company’s website and portfolio and submitting our inquiry the process and ease of working with Nick and team was seamless. We appreciate the initial intake call to see if his services would be a good fit and after that the signing of the contract was underway. Nick provided my wife and I with an online document that really helped up envision the day of the wedding and how we wanted the day to flow when it came to taking the photos. We had an additional call the week prior to the wedding day to ensure the order of events was set so that the day could go as seamless as possible from the photography angle. From the getting ready photos, flat lays, and first look to the ceremony, family portraits, cocktail hour, reception and departure photos, Nick and Ken really told a story through the lens over the span of 10 hours. My wife and I looked at the photos and aside from the phenomenal quality, the scenes and moments captured really brought us back to that very special day! Being able to relive that day was something of great importance to my wife and I and JB Elliott Photography did a great job of executing that goal. The company even surprised us a video and audio of the ceremony portion and we really appreciated that as we did not a have a videographer. Nick and team went above and beyond with their professionalism, flexibility, and ability to make everyone feel comfortable and like themselves in front of the camera lens. We recommend their services as the price to quality ratio of all aspects of the service was amazing!

Personalized, seamless, professional experience!

Nick was very professional, understanding of our needs, and responsive to our asks! During our consultation, Nick listened carefully and provided excellent recommendations so that the day-of wedding photography experience and final products were exactly what we were hoping for! Nick edited the photos so quickly that we had access to download digital files and order prints just one week after our ceremony! In addition to photos, Nick recorded a video of the ceremony (with a lapel mic hidden in the groom's suit for excellent audio) so we could share the moment with loved ones who could not attend. Nick also created a beautiful high-quality album encapsulating the experience which we look forward to keeping in our home for decades to come! We highly recommend JB Elliott Photography.

An All-Star Photographer!

As I was searching high and low on instagram for a photographer to capture our wedding, I noticed Nick’s page and was completely captivated by his work (bonus that he previously shot a wedding at our venue!). My now husband and I decided to go with Nick because of his personal approach and attention to detail. We loved that he immediately took interest in us as a couple and ensured we were all comfortable by including an engagement shoot with our package. I am naturally detailed-oriented so I liked filling out the questionnaires Nick provided to ensure that he understood our vision and what we would like captured. He is organized, professional, and extremely personable. Specifically, during our engagement session, it was an extremely humid day in the middle of July and I was not feeling well walking around in the heat. Nick went out of his way to ensure there were many moments where I could rest and take breaks. He also went the extra mile to walk around the Wharf (our engagement shoot location) to find a store and bring me back a bottle of water while my husband sat to wait with me for Nick to return. Nick was able to work around the heat and our photos still came out AMAZING. 10 out of 10 service! My husband and I absolutely love the beautiful moments Nick captured between our engagement and wedding. He captures portraits and “off-guard”/“action” shots very well. We loved that Nick and the second photographer were able to gather many unplanned photos of our family, friends, and the many details throughout our wedding. We highly recommend him!

Everything we wanted and more! We loved working with JB Elliot!

JB Elliott Photography did an incredible job shooting our wedding!! Nick and Kenny were the absolute best! We really appreciated their warm, professional, non-intrusive energy and approach throughout the night. We felt very cared for and understood by them. We couldn't recommend them enough to couples looking for a great experience. We also showed Nick samples of shot that we liked and he made sure to create some of our own for our special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
