Nick and Clarissa were absolutely fantastic to work with and we could not be happier with the photos they took of our wedding. The weather was not our on side the day of the wedding but Nick and Clarissa were very flexible and adapted to the conditions, while still taking some really great shots. We felt they captured all the beautiful moments of the day and now we get to have them as forever memories in our wedding photos!

Karlin Villondo was amazing! They were so flexible and easy! We loved their photojournalism style that we felt truly captured our day and everyone's true personalities. We were able to get awesome, planned shots without having to worry too much about everything on the day of. We loved that photos were taken in the moment and capturing everything exactly as it was, rather than trying to alter the moment for the perfect portrait shot. Our photos were even that much more perfect because of it.

Nick and Clarissa showed up early and ready to rock! Communicating with them beforehand was a breeze and they came prepared to take all the shots we wanted, and improvise on some family requests too. Nick was stung by like 5 bees at one point and refused to stop shooting (I told him to take a break and he wouldn't!). They put everyone at ease with their humor and professionalism and it was so nice to have both Nick and Clarissa take the "Getting ready" shots of the bridal and groom parties. They captured the beauty of our location so perfectly and their understanding of light, color, and composition is on point (I'm an artist, I'm v picky :))
We received the photos in a timely fashion after the wedding and they are just gorgeous. Nick and Clarissa are the duo for your event if you want personal attention to detail, clear communication, a stress free and positive experience, and absolutely gorgeous photos. We will definitely be using Nick and Clarissa again for future events! 10/10 would recommend.

Nick and Clarissa were great! They are great to work with, personable and professional! We are so happy that we did our pre-wedding/engagement shoot. It helped to get comfortable in front of the camera as well as spend time to get to know both of them. They did a great job of capturing moments throughout our wedding which reminds us of how much fun we had on our special day. We also appreciated the timeliness of receiving our photos. Within two weeks we were able to get some preview photos of our wedding and within five weeks we received all of our wedding photos. We have beautiful photos and can't wait to share them with everyone!

We set up a session with them from abroad since we live in Germany and they are in DC and it worked out perfectly. We really enjoyed our shoot and we are in love with the result!

Nick and Clarissa were the perfect choice to photograph our wedding. They are incredibly professional, talented, and flexible. They kindly met up with us before the wedding to get a chance to talk face to face and discuss some logistics. On the day of the wedding, they put us at ease and kept us smiling. They had both creative ideas about shots and also stuck with some classic poses. They even used FILM, at our request! We are thrilled with the photos and cannot recommend Nick and Clarissa enough.

Nick and Clarissa are extremely talented photographers who will go to great lengths to capture your unique personalities and tastes. They are professional and easy to talk to, and will help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. In addition to checking off every photo on our wish-list, they went the extra mile, coming up with additional artistic shots throughout our special day. We would recommend them to any couple!

If you are looking for an in-depth, personal, detail oriented and extremely professional set of photographers you can most definitely count on Nicholas and Clarissa. I don't think I could have been more happy with my wedding photos or the entirety of the experience of working with them. They paid so much attention to the way we wanted things to look. They were willing to offer advice and suggestions that made things run smoothly during the day of the wedding. Nick & Clarissa were always available and willing to change their schedules around to meet our needs. What I think I loved most about the photos is that you get two different perspectives, a male & female take on things. While looking through my wedding photos now, they don't look like two different people were taking photos, but it is clear that if one of them missed a moment the other was there to capture it. Every detail was captured, from the ironing of the suit to the groups of people congregating outside the reception. All the parts of my wedding that I might have missed was captured beautifully. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You will not regret it...
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Karlin & Clarissa are an incredible team of photographers that you need to have at your wedding, or event! They have an amazing eye and capture the day in such a memorable way. We recently worked with them at an October wedding and they have already sent over the completed photos, which is the fastest we have ever received the final product from a wedding photographer. They are extremely professional, arriving early to scout out the best shooting spots and followed our schedule to make sure the whole day stayed on time. They also were right in the thick of the dance floor, snapping those priceless late night shots. Karlin Villondo Photography is definitely one of our top vendors to work with!
