From the Lead Photographer Theorina Li:

Here are a little about myself --

"The emotion comes out at weddings is incredibly strong, as I can't use words to describe it, I hope I can record it in my frames."
"No one needs 2 master's degrees to become a photographer, but I happen to have two. School taught me something I am still improving daily - how to communicate and put myself in the shoes of others. Growing up in Asia and now in the US, I embrace my culture identity. The dynamic and diverse elements of DC win me over."
"I love travel and photography (as a hobby as well). So far, I had been to 40 states, Puerto Rico and Guam in the US, plus over 14 countries outside US."

Absolute Pleasure to Work With

We booked Theorina to cover our wedding in October. From our first time meeting with Theorina, we knew we wanted to work with her. We appreciated her attention to detail, responsiveness, professionalism, kindness and excellent communication throughout the entire process.

Theorina has a warmth and way of making her clients feel like family. As a camera-shy person, I really appreciated how she seemed to effortlessly create a safe and comfortable space where I felt like I could be myself.

We've received so many compliments about the photography coverage from the guests at our wedding. Many asked if Theorina was a friend because of how friendly and warm she was with everyone!

We received our sneak peek gallery of photos shortly after the event and loved all of the photographs. We can't wait to see the rest!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to work with than Theorina and we would highly recommend her to all of our friends and family.

Diligent and professional

We worked with Rina for both our wedding and pre-wedding photos. She is very experienced (including both planning for the photos and executing the plan) and took beautiful pictures. She is also very responsive and accommodated several last minute requests. We highly recommend working with Rina!

Above and beyond expectation

Rina is really easy to work with. I was quite picky about the video editing, and she has been super flexible to accommodate my request. The video looks amazing considering the budget we have. Rina joined the venue tour and rehearsal although it is not required. And she arrived quite early and start shooting before the scheduled time. Thank you for everything!

Amazing wedding photography and videography

Theorina and her team did an amazing job at our wedding. She is very easy to work with, and she offered a lot of useful and professional recommendations. She also had the venue tour with us and attended the rehearsal. We love the photos and videos and they came out quickly! We highly recommend Theorina for anyone!

Amazing Experience

Theorina led the whole team who perfectly captured our wedding day in photos and videos! She worked with our schedule and gave a practical backup plan quickly since we had unforeseeable weather coming up that day. She made the mission impossible possible for us! And the photos and videos came out wonderful. We would highly recommend Theorina and her team!

Wonderful Videography

We reached out to Theogenic Photography very shortly before our wedding for wedding videography. Theorina quickly responded and was able to accommodate us despite the short notice. She was one of the best vendors we chose - she was extremely responsive with any questions I had, and she was very timely with everything. I appreciated that she took the time to come to the rehearsal as well. The video came out beautifully and was exactly what we were looking for - her attention to detail and artistic vision are wonderful.

Loved my photos!

Theorina did my engagement photos, and they turned out amazing! She also was really flexible about rescheduling the shoot a couple times, and got our photos back to us incredibly fast. She's great to work with and I am so glad we hired her to do our shoot.
