About

Paperboys is a boutique wedding film/photo agency located on the ‘skirtz of Washington D.C. We started down this regal road in 2014 and we have the mountain of harddrives to prove it! We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples.

When we started this business on a wing and a prayer, we quickly realized that working alone is not a ton of fun - some would say, it’s for the birds. So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life. It turns out, having a bunch of incredibly talented creatives with film degrees is better than a lonely brooding artist… not that I (Simon) would know anything about that…

What makes us unique? Simple, it’s our dedication to the craft. Each of our team members are full-time staff, each with a heart to collaborate, to learn, and to produce the best work possible. It’s this spirit of collaboration and sharpening each other that has made our films and photo galleries better and better with each passing season.

But even as our films evolve, each one still possesses that Paperboys spark, which inspired this whole endeavor - a passion for breathtaking cinematic imagery, and for storytelling that, hopefully, moves the soul.

— We’re so excited you’re here —

The Absolute Best Photographers & Videographers

I hired Paperboys for my daughter's wedding in Washington, DC April 2023. This was the best decision I made. From the beginning of the process, they were wonderful, responsive, answered all questions. They worked with my daughter and son-in-law to ensure they knew the vision they had for their wedding. The day of the wedding, went perfectly. They were there on time, made the whole process enjoyable and fun. You knew you had photographers and a videographer there but they were never in the way. I highly recommend them and thank them for the beautiful work they did.

Paperboys is THE BEST!

We cannot say enough great things about paperboys, from initial set up to contract the entire team was so easy to work with.

For our photography we worked with Daniel, he is incredibly professional, talented and easy going. We aren’t great with knowing how to pose and he guided us effortlessly. I think it’s important to feel comfortable around your photographer & he does just that - really made it about us and feel supported through the entire process. He did our pre wedding shoot with us in NYC and recommended some great options, he was was with us for 3 wedding events. He went above and beyond for us all weekend.

Sal was our videographer & he is incredible, easy going & he really knows what he’s doing - how to capture the best angles. We were really looking for our video content to “feel like a story” while capturing the best moments of the weekend, & he delivered. Our same day edit was amazing, it was put together so well in such a short time.

Both Daniel and Sal were involved with our wedding where their creativity really showed. Both of them were professional, on time, respectful to the South Asian rituals, but at the same time able to get the shots they needed. We HIGHLY recommend paperboys!

Sikh/Hindu Wedding Photography - the BEST!

I don't think I could more highly recommend Paperboys to any couple looking for a team of photographers/videographers for their wedding. Aiden and Drew lead an amazing team that did such a phenomenal job of making my husband and I, as well as our families, look AWESOME in portrait photos while capturing all the special moments filled with candor too. My husband and I have a diverse family and friend group of many different skin shades, and everyone looked amazing in the photos next to each other. The final product of the photos and videos has been absolutely amazing, but I will say that the process of having them capture our wedding day was equally as wonderful. As two people who don't know what to do in front of the camera, they guided us through poses in such a patient way, had us laughing, and honestly it felt like they became our best friends by the end of the wedding weekend. We were genuinely sad for them to leave and had a dance floor huddle of hugs with them before they left. We adore the Paperboys team and genuinely cannot recommend them enough.

Thank you!!

We loved, loved, LOVED working with Paperboys for our wedding photo and video!! Daniel, Logan, Joshua, and Jerome, did an incredible and magical job capturing our wedding in April 2026. Prior to the main day, we met with Daniel for our engagement photoshoot and also connected with Logan over a video call. Both took the time to really understand us as a couple - our vibe, our wedding timeline, and exactly what we were looking for. On the wedding day, Daniel was incredibly supportive. At multiple moments when I (the bride) needed a quick break, he helped guide the flow of the day and keep everything on track. We have already received our photo and video content since the celebration and they are absolutely stunning! So many moments have been captured and have us feeling emotional every time we watch them. Thank you, team Paperboys!!!!

Dream team

The Paperboys team was an absolute DREAM to work with!! Every second with them was like hanging out with our friends. They were such a seamless part of our celebration and we wouldn't have had it any other way! Moments we didn't even know we had were captured brilliantly and it's all because of how comfortable they made us feel throughout the weekend. DREAM TEAM!!

The best photo/video team!!!

Paperboys are the best photo/video team we could've asked for! Aiden and Logan captured our sangeet, ceremony, and reception beautifully and were so fun to work with. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the cameras and had us laughing throughout. They met with us a couple of times before our wedding weekend to go over our photo/video styles and to get to know each other! We had our same day edit played at our reception and were in absolute awe of how amazing it was. We cannot wait to see the rest of our photos/videos and cherish all the memories we will look back on forever! Thank you for capturing the best day of our lives!

Best Team for Photography/Videography!!!

We used Paperboys for our wedding weekend photography and videography and couldn’t recommend them more. We absolutely love our photos and videos — Yana and Isaac captured everything so naturally and beautifully.
We had a few calls beforehand to talk through our vision, and they completely got us. On the day, they made us feel so comfortable, which really shows in the final results. If you’re thinking about using Paperboys, do it — they were amazing from start to finish.

AMAZING experience!!!!!

We couldn’t have asked for better photographers than Daniel and Troy from Paperboys! From day one, they were incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and professional, but also so much fun and easy to be around. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and really took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand our vision. Their attention to detail and genuine care showed every step of the way, and it made the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable. We’re beyond grateful for them and would highly recommend Daniel, Troy, and the Paperboys team to anyone looking for photographers who truly go above and beyond!

Highly recommend!

Daniel and Jonny from Paperboys were exceptional for our wedding. Daniel’s photography captured every detail beautifully, and Jonny’s videography brought the day to life in a way we’ll treasure forever. Their professionalism, creativity, and ability to make us feel comfortable were outstanding. Justin and I highly recommend Paperboys to anyone looking for top-tier wedding photography and videography.
