    Best photographer in the DMV!

    Petruzzo Photography was AMAZING! I can’t speak highly enough. As a person who doesn’t love getting their picture taken, William immediately made me feel relaxed and excited. He has an infectious sense of humor and a keen eye for detail. My loved ones gushed over him all night! I fall more in love with our wedding pictures every day. If you’re looking for a photographer in the DMV area, Petruzzo Photography is the only way to go!

    Great experience

    William and Felipe were great! We built a fairly demanding timeline for our wedding photos (i.e. we needed a lot of photos of a large wedding party in a short amount of time). We couldn’t be happier with the result. William and Felipe arrived early, scouted the venue, and prepped for a streamlined shoot. The photos turned out great! They also covered the ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour with poise and professionalism. We hardly noticed them during the events, but they managed to capture everything beautifully! They even did a wonderful write up of the event and got photo proofs to us within two weeks of the ceremony! And I haven’t even mentioned the fantastic engagement photos. We can’t recommend them more! Great photographers and a great experience!

    Book with Petruzzo Photography!!

    We used Petruzzo Photography for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. William was amazing to work with both times. He was very personable and able to get genuine smiles. I loved his creativity with the various shoots that he took. The planning process prior to our wedding day was very informative and detailed. The turn around time following both sessions was very fast. The photos captured our wedding day beautifully and we will cherish them forever. We highly recommend Petruzzo Photography for your next photography session!

    100% Recommend!

    William and his team did an exceptional job. Literally everyone who sees our wedding photos says they should be in a magazine. I highly recommend paying for two photographers. For our first look photos, having two photographers made it possible to capture both of our reactions really well. It also allowed them to capture more of the action in greater detail throughout the day. I was able to show the pictures to my grandmother who couldn’t be at our wedding and she really felt like she got to see the whole day unfold. The photos were important to me, and I feel like I left them in good hands! I enjoyed working with William and will definitely work with him again.

    William & Felipe were great!

    William was recommended to us from a family friend and we got so lucky. Made us feel so special and even though we only had them both for a short time they made sure they could take as many as photos possible. Very personable and felt an instant connection like we knew each other for years. Photos came back very fast and were absolutely perfect. Captured our day so beautifully. Thank you for being so amazing! 10/10 would recommend. William is still always there when we need him and will be hiring for future photo needs!

    Perfect choice for our special day!

    Will was great! He was fantastic to work with. He was warm and understanding, and took special care to listen carefully and give us exactly what we wanted. He was extremely flexible and a true professional. The photos look great and really capture the emotion of all those special moments.

    Super fun guys to document your engagement/wedding photos!

    My husband and I had two engagement photo sessions (one formal and one personality) before our wedding day which helped us get to know William & Felipe more before the wedding day. These guys are truly one-of-a-kind and make you feel like you all have been friends forever. They have such fun personalities that matched ours. After our photoshoots, it basically felt like we had made fast friends with both of them! It is extremely easy to communicate and helpful to make sure the timeline went smoothly. Due to the size and time limits in our wedding, William was extremely organized and flexible on working with a timeline to get all the shots we wanted to get and we did! We are super in love with our pictures and couldn't have asked for better photographers to be there to document our marriage! I plan to go back for more pictures in the future as well as going out to get drinks with William and Felipe sometime!

    Petruzzo Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kayla! I can't wait to get together with the two of you when you're back in town! ❤️❤️❤️

    Great wedding photographer!

    William is THE BEST. He is such a great guy and doing our engagement and wedding photos with him was such a great investment. He was so fun and personable and helpful through it all. He and his associate were amazing additions to our wedding and the photos we got are amazing. He is a gem and his product is top quality. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

    William & Felipe are amazing!!!

    William and Felipe were the amazing. William communicated quickly and professionally throughout the booking process. He worked with us to create the photography package that worked best for our budget and goals. On the day of the wedding William & Felipe were relaxed, organized, and funny! They helped ease everyones nerves and made taking pictures fun. The final product was amazing. They were able to capture the family portraits we asked for as well as great candid moments of everyone at our wedding.

    You will not regret this decision!

    Pictures are the one piece of your wedding that will last forever -- William and Filipe went above and beyond to capture breathtaking photos of our wedding day. They took appropriate precautions in light of COVID to ensure the safety of us and all of our guests but this did not prevent them from taking and producing quality photos. William is extremely flexible and easy to work with. He is quick with email responses and took the time to talk through and gain an understanding of how we envisioned our wedding day and what was important to us. He is extremely organized and helped us create a wedding day timeline to coordinate all the moving parts. I honestly think our wedding day would have been extremely chaotic without his guidance!! I can't thank him and his team enough for helping make our day perfect. We plan to use him for family photos in the future and feel we have gained a new friend through the experience!

    Personable and Heartwarming!

    William and Felipe were incredible at our wedding. There are a lot of stresses when having a wedding during a pandemic, but these two made our day fun and stress-free! I could tell that William was truly putting in his best effort to find the most incredible shots for my husband and I. I had many guests tell me afterwards that William and Felipe were were a blast to be around. We spoke multiple times on the phone with William to discuss timeline and our vision/style for the wedding and he was very professional by making recommendations that would help make our wedding everything we dreamed of. We also had an engagement session with him prior to the wedding and that was so much fun! William has a fun, quirky demeanor which kept us laughing and relaxed. I would highly recommend Petruzzo Photography for any wedding/engagement session/photo op!

    Felipe at Petruzzo Photography will not disappoint

    Our experience with Petruzzo Photography was incredible from the time I inquired about engagement photos all the way through doing the photoshoot and receiving the photos. Our original photographer got sick before our shoot so Felipe stepped in and took our pics. My fiancé and I had so much fun with Felipe at the Kennedy Center in DC. He really went above and beyond our expectations and made us feel comfortable being ourselves. We were really impressed with the final product of photos and have already discussed working with Petruzzo in the future. I highly recommend Felipe at Petruzzo ... I promise you will not be disappointed!!

    Excellent in Every Way!

    I am so happy that we hired Petruzzo Photography for our wedding! Will and Felipe were incredible to work with, especially navigating things during covid times. Will was always very responsive and helpful. He spent time getting to know us as a couple, both over the phone and during an engagement photo session, before our wedding. The pictures taken during both the engagement session and wedding were absolutely amazing! I am so, so happy with them. I had a really hard time choosing which ones to frame and put in an album since there were so many excellent pictures. I also feel like the prices offered were a great value! Some photographers are much more expensive. I would not hesitate to recommend Petruzzo Photography to everyone I know! Thank you so much!

    Talent, Heart, and Professionalism

    William is truly the best.

    I did a solo shoot years ago and remembered him when I got engaged. He did our engagement shoot and he and Felipe did our wedding. I just cannot say enough good about this wonderful team.

    Punctuality: 5/5 stars.
    They are always where they say they’ll be when they say they’ll be there - even a tad early. That meant a lot to me.

    Communication: 5/5 stars.
    Stellar. Timely. Intelligent. Awesome.

    Professionalism: 5/5 stars.
    They are both extremely professional while also being extremely personable. William charted out a rough timeline of events for us which was incredibly helpful, and even availed himself to providing feedback on questions I had about how to handle questionable guests at the wedding. He is also about to provide advice on other vendors he’s worked with - William was a huge asset and calming voice during both the engagement and wedding planning.

    Talent: 5/5 stars
    As others have said, I detest being in front of the camera and William and Felipe with their huge smiles, professionalism and warm personalities somehow magically made me comfortable - even forgetful that there was a camera... and,

    Bottom line, our photos came out amazing. We will cherish them for the rest of our lives.

    We couldn't be happier!

    My husband and I used Petruzzo Photography for our wedding back in September 2019 and it was the best decision we made regarding our wedding. From my first phone call with William when he helped me put words to my vision, all the way through to when we received our wedding photos, everything was great. My husband is not very comfortable in front of the camera, but during the engagement session, William helped him really get into it and enjoy himself. Our engagement photos really capture our personalities and our love for each other.
    By far, I think my wedding experience would not have been the same without William and Felipe there to guide us along. Even under a bit of a time crunch, they were able to capture every photo arrangement our hearts desired. I am a people pleaser and I was so stressed out on the day of my wedding. William and Felipe are true professionals; their experience helped keep us moving and helped me relax. They fit right into the wedding and everything felt so natural. Our guests were all big fans, even without seeing a single picture yet!
    Finally, our wedding pictures are totally SPECTACULAR! They turned out better than I could have imagined. They are beautiful and fun. William and Felipe were able to capture our friends and family, the venue, and of course, us, in a way that is so natural and so wonderful. Again, hiring Petruzzo Photography was one of the best decisions we made.

    Easy, breezy, and beautiful!

    We chose to have a small (less than 20) elopement-type ceremony. Even though we started our hunt 8 months before the big day, no one was available, much less for only two hours of coverage. But Petruzzo was! We worked with Greg, who was perfect and so much fun. We had a brief phone call about two weeks beforehand to go over the details. He created a plan for me to approve so we could get all the shots that were important to us. It put me completely at ease and I was able to just relax and enjoy the entire ceremony. We just got our photos back and we are beyond ecstatic with the overall quality and style. Greg did an excellent job and I wouldn't hesitate to rebook him in a second!

    Greg was an awesome photographer!

    Both my husband and I were very nervous about having our photograph taken, but Greg was so friendly and fun to work with! He put us both at ease. We absolutely love our wedding photos. We would recommend Greg to anyone!

    Best decision we made for our wedding

    Bill is a talented photographer. He brings out the best in his subjects. Everyone looks so beautiful in his photos. He captured expressions and moments that tell the story of our special day. This is our second marriage so our goals were not like 20-30 year olds first marriage. Bill asked the right questions and listened to us. He is super organized, kept the family photo sessions moving with his wit and charm. Highly recommend him for this important event. My daughter also used Bill and her photos are stunning as well. Thanks Bill, we love our photos.

    Photographer who is responsive , easy and fun to work

    We worked with William for our outdoor wedding ceremony in late October and came out with beautiful prints, despite the overcast and freezing weather! I chose Petruzzo photography because I had a limited budget (and liked the prints on their website of course) and only could have a photographer for the ceremony. We enjoyed working with William so much and it was clear that our family and friends did too. They asked if he was a family friend! He was super responsive by phone and email and talked through wants and needs. On the wedding day, he was quick to help figure out what to do given the uncooperative weather and helped herd my family and friends.

    I wish we had had a larger budget because it would have been so great to have him shoot the reception as well. Highly, highly recommend Petruzzo Photography for any event!

    Lovely photos - excellent experience working with Petruzzo

    William shot our super small intimate wedding (10 people) in October 2018. From our first contact to the deliverables, he was organized, professional, and personable. He captured the whole ceremony and was able to get some lovely shots of us and our family - not an easy task with a bunch of folks who don't like being in front of the camera! We chose him because his photos are quite natural and not hyper stylized or color saturated - this was important. We also loved supporting a local business and artist. We highly recommend working with Petruzzo and would choose him again without hesitation.

    Couldn't Have Dreamed Up Better Photos

    I've been following William's work for years, so when I started to plan my wedding I didn't even bother shopping out the photos. We had the most incredible engagement photo shoot in a historic house and theater, and William went above and beyond to make the photos so *us*. He was so easy to work with. He made sure to have all the info he needed early on so I didn't have to worry about it on the day of. During the wedding, he and Filipe were so professional and I barely noticed they were there. When William was getting our families organized for the photoshoot, you could see what a pro he was. He made everyone feel comfortable while getting things done quickly. The photos are better than I could have dreamed. I keep looking at them over and over. William and Filipe really captured the spirit of the day and the love in everyone's eyes the whole time. Thanks to them, I'll always have these incredible photos to remember my special day. If you live in the greater DC area, you will not find a better wedding photographer. I feel so lucky.

    Wonderful work for a wedding

    The team at Petruzzo Photography make sure that every moment is captured. They talked us through the whole thing before the wedding happened asked us about any specific kind of shots that we wanted and made sure that they were accomplished. The photos are incredible we printed some out and hung them in our living room. On canvas it looks even better. I would highly recommend using William and Felipe for your next event. They teamed up and got all the shots that we wanted.

    Beautiful work!

    Petruzzo Photography was one of the easiest and best decisions we made when it came to wedding vendors. All of our questions and worries were answered by William from the start before we hired them and knew we were in good hands. Greg F and Erik H shot the photos for us and both the engagement and wedding photos were incredible. We had a very colorful wedding and every moment was captured beautifully- I couldn't be happier with how well the colors popped in our photos. I of course was pleased the day of, but it really hit me how professional they were when guests approached me after the wedding to applaud my photographers. Many of my friends who have been married or been to other weddings noticed how nonintrusive my photographers were throughout the day yet were able to get in when they needed to to do their job. I appreciate William's artistic vision and how well the team works together. Highly recommend!

    Great experience with Petruzzo Photography

    My husband and I worked with William as our primary photographer for our wedding in September. William was very professional, friendly, and super responsive over the course of our planning. We did engagement photos with him first (included in our selected package), and had an absolute blast. William is clearly very passionate about what he does. His turn around time with the engagement photos was very quick, and we loved the photos we got back. Over the course of planning for our wedding day, William spent a lot of time working with us to get our schedule right, and I'm very happy with how flexible he was (it was a long day--we had a ten hour package, but had to stretch it out over twelve hours). We actually ended up ahead of schedule at one point, and had time for a few extra shots after the ceremony. William and Felipe (our second shooter) also did a great job with the reception--some of our favorite photos from the entire day were the candid photos that they were able to capture of our guests letting loose at the party. I definitely loved that they were having fun at our reception too--our guests loved them!

    Best photographer ever!

    William was absolutely the best. He answered all my million questions with clarity, kindness, and professionalism. He is an expert in timelines, poses, and lighting. William is easy going, which made my wife and I feel very comfortable and at ease. He went above and beyond my expectations...even to the point of driving my wife and I to the courthouse. The best part is that we LOVED our photos, and this is coming from someone who hated their engagement photos and who hates being in front of the camera.
