Potok's World Photography, LLC

Gosh, I don't know even know where to begin! I was looking desperately for a photographer that I felt connected with my hubby and I's vision. I randomly received an email from Anji & Pete with a link to their website. I opened it up and instantaneously felt a connection to their work. Their work captured the emotions and feelings that are so important on a special day like a wedding. When we started exchanging information, I just knew that my husband and I were getting so blessed by Anji & Pete. The quality of there work is above and beyond and my family and I couldn't have felt more special that day. I have attached photos below for review.
Recently, my husband and I were showing some friends our wedding photos and they stated that they had never seen such incredible work from a wedding. I think they even said this is "Hollywood talent", but truly Anji & Pete are amazing. Awesome people and amazing couple. We are so thankful for that first email and the beautiful work they gave us from our special day:)
In addition, they captured the important elements and emotions despite the challenges of the restrictions of covid.

We worked with Anji and Pete for both our wedding and engagement photography and I absolutely could not be happier. As someone who gets very nervous in front of a camera, I was worried about photography. They both took the time to get to know us and to put us at ease, especially in posed situations. We wanted the photographs to feel like us: joyful, silly, colorful, and exuberant...not like a generic wedding magazine. They chose a fabulous location for the engagement shoot (gardens outside the Smithsonian castle). When I look back at our wedding pictures I see a moment-by-moment representation of an amazing day that flew by for me as the bride. Of course they captured us as bride and groom, but they also made intimate and lovely portraits of our friends and family, who were there to celebrate with us. Having those moments captured in images reminds us of the love all around us when we got married this fall. The collection of images is a treasure!

We were super happy with the job they did -- they have a photojournalistic style and are unobtrusive and did fantastic job of capturing us and our relatives. Strongly recommended! Good value too.

Anji and Pete went out of their way to make our wedding special. They are both so friendly and personable- our guests even thought we had known each other previously due to how comfortable they made my husband and I! We very awkward in front of the camera, but Anji and Pete really helped us to feel comfortable and less self-conscious. All of our photos turned out amazing! We would recommend them to anyone looking for photographers!

Pete & Anji were everything we could ask for in wedding photographers. We wanted a smaller, more intimate wedding and they were incredibly supportive in offering expert suggestions to have our moments captured in a manner which reflected the spirit of our wedding. At the end of the day they felt like part of the family, and we are truly grateful for their support.

Anji and Pete exceeded our expectations in every way! Having interviewed other wedding photographers for weeks, we immediately felt comfortable with them. We worked with them for our engagement photoshoot, followed by our week-long Indian wedding. We told them the general look we wanted for our engagement shoot and they were able to find a location close to us. For our wedding week, they both made sure that they understood our vision for each event and knew exactly what we wanted to capture. It was most important to us that our photos looked natural and not too staged/posed. And we're so glad that we came across them because that is exactly their style. During our wedding week, they both felt more like an extension to our family/bridal party. We are very happy with all of our photos: formal portraits as well as candid shots with family and friends. 10/10 would recommend them!

We hired Potok's World Photography for our small outdoor wedding and an engagement shoot - we reached out to them because we loved the vibrancy and creativity of the photos in their portfolio. Anji and Pete were a great team - a warm, discreet and professional duo during the wedding events, and also timely and responsive about pre-wedding details and follow-up correspondence. The photographs from the wedding and engagement shoot were beautiful and alive and really captured the spirit of this special moment in our lives.

Anji and Pete were wonderful, kind, flexible and affordable for our photos. They were very attentive to our needs and gave us detailed explanations for their skill set and approach to photography. We highly recommend!!!

My wife and I are so glad we Anji and Pete to shoot our engagement and wedding photos and highly recommend them. Anji and Pete were absolute professionals during the whole process and had great communication. We preferred to have photographers who were more in the background to capture our special moments instead of actively posing us and we were very happy that this aligned with Anji and Pete’s style. Whenever we had specific questions, they would have blog posts or answers right away to make the whole process go smoothly. Our families and us absolutely loved all of the photos we received from our engagement shoot and wedding. Fingers crossed that we never need wedding photographers again but if we did we would definitely choose Anji and Pete.

We got so lucky to hire Potok's World Photography, and to work with Anji and Pete for our wedding photography. We booked them pre-pandemic, and for well over a year, Anji and Pete would check in, were flexible with the changes we had to make, and thoughtful. In a time that could have been much more stressful, Anji and Pete were a bright spot. They were easy to work with, accommodating, and also, the photos...AMAZING. You will not be disappointed if you chose Potok for your wedding, or for any other milestone you want to document. I cannot wait to work with them again in the future for other events in our lives. Thank you Anji and Pete!!!

Anji and Pete were the photographers for our outdoor June 2021 wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results! We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a professional, worry-free experience and amazing photos! We chose to work with them after seeing their vibrant portfolio (which they carefully curated for us based on our priorities - capturing authentic moments and experience with shooting multicultural weddings).

Leading up to our wedding, Anji & Pete were proactive in ensuring they knew what we were looking for and were always quick to respond when we had questions. They were well-prepared and clearly knew what they were doing, and were really available to meet with us (in-person or virtually). They took the time to get to know who we were as a couple, how we had designed our wedding, and which aspects were most important to us (even down to which combinations of group shots). Plus, they honestly became friends through the process!

On the day of the wedding, they arrived early and split up to capture both of us getting ready. They were always in the right spots to catch really touching moments without ever feeling intrusive, and they did a great job guiding us through both the couples photos and group shots. We normally feel awkward doing posed shots, but they kept it fun and light-hearted and the pictures came out looking really natural. Our families especially loved meeting them and commented after on how nice Anji & Pete's presence was. We also have to mention that they were especially kind to stay late to capture us sharing our wedding day gifts after the end of the reception because we'd had to skip them earlier in the day!

After the wedding, they stayed in touch to make sure we knew the timeline and when we could expect our photos. They had a sneak peek of ~15% of the final gallery ready in less than a week, along with a video of those shots set to music -- it was perfect for sharing with friends and family who couldn't attend. Even more impressive was the fact that they had our final gallery ready in 8 weeks. They captured a lot of special, candid moments we weren't even aware of and managed to make our posed group shots seem natural. We could tell they put a lot of effort and care into editing the gallery for us, and we're going to treasure these photos forever.

Anji and Pete were wonderful! I don’t think we will have chosen anyone else. They were very professional, and they made us feel extremely comfortable with them around in our intimate weddings. You’ll never know how nervous you can get until the day of your wedding. We appreciate all the gorgeous shots and the edit they did. Everything looks organic and well-made. The pictures are gorgeous and They delivered them pretty fast. You can tell they are very passionate about the work they do.
Since we couldn’t meet in person before, we had a couple of meetings by WhatsApp. They were always listening to everything we wanted to be shoot being respectful to our cultures.
The link from the website to share pictures was very useful since we didn’t have to download pictures to send to Family The link always worked for everyone.

Plus, They are both fluent in Spanish. If you are having a wedding With Spanish speakers like your family or even yourself they will be a perfect match for you.

We will hire them again for future events or family portraits.

We couldn't have asked for more amazing photographer's especially since we had to postpone our wedding a few times twice due to Covid before our July 11th 2020 ceremony. They came recommended by our venue and I am so elated we chose them. Anji came all the way from Germany the day before our wedding to capture our special day. The professionalism they provided us was excellent. The photo's we received allowed us to re-live our wedding day and for me to see our guest enjoying themselves while the bridal party was getting ready. We couldn't have asked for better photographers.

Let me begin by saying that we could not have made a better decision than to have Potok’s World Photography capture our wedding day. Pete and Anji checked off every single box for us… quality of work, responsiveness, likeability, etc.

We fell in love with their style as soon as we laid eyes on their online portfolio. Their quality of work was apparent, so we were already more than interested… and this is before we got to know them. Pete and Anji’s work is nothing short of remarkable, but we were so happy to find out that as good of photographers that they are, they are even better people! We got to know Pete and Anji through a number of zoom meetings before the wedding and they just made us SO comfortable. They are easy to talk to, and their banter with one another is charming. They are such a fun and loving couple, and they work very well together. They acted as an extension of our wedding party, and were so effortless in their ability to capture all our special moments, we didn’t even know they were there! Total pros.

We were blown away when we received our album, and our families went nuts about every single picture. What we love most about our photos is that Pete and Anji capture FEELINGS. Sure, there were plenty of “posed” photos (couples, family pictures, etc.) but their action shots are pure gold. Check out their website, you will see for yourself.

To sum it all up, we went out looking for a photographer, and we are so proud to say that we came back with BEAUTIFUL photos, and a pair of lifelong friends.

We had a great experience with Anji and Pete from Potok’s World Photography for our wedding in October 2019. Anji and Pete were always very responsive and took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. We also did our engagement photos with them and loved that they wanted us to feel comfortable and have the photos reflect us as a couple. Before our wedding we consulted with them on the types of photos we wanted; they took a perfect mix of candid photos of us enjoying our time with guests and staged portraits with family and our bridal party. We were blown away with the little moments they captured of our wedding, details that we’ll never forget! When it was time to create our wedding album they helpfully provided a template and worked with us until it was exactly what we wanted. We would recommend Potok’s World Photography to any couple!
