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.

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!

5 Stars for Paperboys!

From our very first call with Logan, we knew we were in great hands. He took the time to truly understand us—our style, our preferences, and what mattered most for our big day. Logan was not only professional but also incredibly friendly and fun to work with, which made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.

On the wedding day, he was discreet and efficient, capturing every moment we had discussed ahead of time without ever feeling intrusive. His attention to detail and ability to make everything run smoothly were outstanding. The final result was everything we hoped for and more.

We highly recommend Paperboys and Logan to anyone looking for a talented, personable videographer who genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable!

10000000% Recommend Paperboys!

Paperboys is AMAZING. We hired them for our Indian wedding events and also had an engagement shoot.

First off - they are one of the most responsive and kind vendors in the industry that I spoke to. Having a vendor like this on your team while wedding planning makes life SO much easier. They are flexible and always willing to hop on a call and discuss any concerns or questions.

For photos - we worked with John primarily for photography, and he made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot; we had full trust when it came to our wedding. Those photos came out like art. He is such a pro - perfect cues for posing, always knows what to do, and really takes into account your preferences/concerns. He works so seamlessly, and on top of that, he is insanely kind, accommodating, and makes you feel so prioritized. He is so familiar with the brown wedding scene that he knew to call everyone auntie and uncle! He really went above and beyond for us throughout our weekend, and I can't express my appreciation enough. AND obviously, our photos are beautiful! We also worked with Matt and Matthew for photos, and they were both equally amazing, kind, polite, and talented. Their vibe really is so calming, warm and efficient, which you definitely need on your wedding day.

For video - we primarily worked with Jonny, and Laura came to a couple of our events as well. They were both so chill, kind, and just a pleasure to be around. Something must be in the water at Paperboys honestly! Now.. Jonny created a same-day edit that was SO above and beyond my expectations. I mean, I was sobbing when I saw it at the reception. I only briefly described to him my vision for it, and he understood it perfectly. It was dramatic, beautiful, and every element was well thought out. He is a genius! I truly have no words. Jonny and Laura captured so many cool moments and shots, and I am just so excited to relive all of our most special moments when we receive more video content.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Paperboys, especially the folks highlighted above, to anyone looking for wedding photographers and videographers!

Loved Working with Them

We worked with Paperboys as our videographer for our September wedding in DC, and they absolutely killed it! Nick and the team were amazing to work with. They were super communicative and organized throughout the whole process. They walked us through all our preferences ahead of time, which made things completely hands-off on the wedding day. They were great to have around on the day and really added to the energy of the day. We’ve only received our teaser video so far, but we already know everything will turn out incredible!

Chef's Kiss!!

Working with the paperboys was the easiest decision we made for our wedding! We had been familiar with their work through a couple of our friends and when it came time to pick our photo vendor -- we knew they had the style that we were looking for. Not only did they provide photo services -- they helped us with our timeline and ensured that they had the time allocations required to get the photos that were important to us while also not compromising other parts of the day from ceremony, cocktail hour to reception. The day of they rallied our friends and family to keep the day moving smoothly. They worked well with our other vendors to get the information they needed and of course the photos John and team took are absolutely STUNNING from the engagement shoot to the wedding day. I'm excitedly waiting for our full album. We got the sneak peek photos super quick and I'm already speechless. Can I have these guys around for all my events moving forward because * chef's kiss *.
Look at their portfolio -- what more could you ask for!

Hire them!

We’re so beyond grateful to have had Logan capture our wedding weekend!! He didn’t just film the event—he told our story. From the little candid moments to the big, emotional ones, he managed to bottle it all up in a way that felt so ‘us.’ We’ve watched our video a hundred times already and it still makes us tear up. He was also such a fun but calming presence throughout the weekend and blended in seamlessly with our photography and other vendor teams. Logan and the paperboys team are just truly truly gifted at what they do!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
