    We loved working with Sean!

    From the outset, our experience with Roman Grinev Photography was wonderful. Roman was responsive and answered all of our questions. We chose Sean and did both our engagement and wedding photos with him. He was so easy to work with - creative, fun, understood the sense of whimsy we wanted to bring to our day, willing to work with our goofy husky - and so easy to be around. The photos he captured, both portraits and candies, captured the joy and energy of the day. We can’t be happier with the outcome!

    Incredible photos that perfectly capture the best day of our lives!

    Roman Grinev Photography is absolutely wonderful! Our Photographer was Parmiss and we couldn’t be happier with the pictures she took. She took over 1,000 pictures and we honestly love each and every one. She has such an amazing eye and was able to capture truly special and unforgettable moments that I’m so grateful I have forever. She does fantastic portraits as well!! We highly recommend Roman Grinev Photography, especially Parmiss, for perfectly capturing our special day!!

    Professional and Efficient

    We worked with Katie W for our wedding, and it was a pleasure. We haven't seen our photos yet, but have no doubt Katie did a great job capturing all of our important moments. We told her ahead of time that we weren't big on photos, and she was incredibly respectful and efficient with our time. Katie was professional, fun, and insightful. The entire process of dealing with Roman Grinev and his team was smooth and enjoyable

    10 out of 10!

    Napoleon from Roman Grinev Photography was incredible! He is extremely skilled with a camera. Napoleon got hundreds of amazing shots at our wedding, so many happy memories to look back on, thanks to him! He was focused, creative, and had a great sense of humor. The best man and I wanted to do a spin on the first look, dressing him up in a gown instead of me! Napoleon was so attentive and supportive of my vision and it was executed flawlessly! He was very friendly, on time, and easy to work with. I highly recommend Napoleon and Roman Grinev photography for your wedding day!

    Very creative and couple focused

    Thomas from Roman Grinev Photography was awesome! We completely changed our wedding due to COVID to be over a year later and to be a Halloween costume party reception, and Thomas was super creative with the photos, both posed and candid, to capture the fun and creativity of all of the costumes. He was very focused on what elements were most important to us and was very friendly and easy to work with. We highly recommend Roman Grinev Photography!

    Fantastic photography, beautiful and affordable

    Couldn't recommend Roman Grinev Photography highly enough! We had to change the date and venue of our wedding due to the Covid pandemic, and Roman was very understanding and great to work with throughout. We had Rob as our photographer, and the photos turned out so stunning and beautiful. Excellent and professional team. This was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

    Beautiful photographs, wonderful team

    From the very first time I spoke with Roman, I knew I wanted to go with his company! He made everything run so smoothly, answered all of my questions about timing day of and what to expect, and in every interaction has been so prompt, understanding, and kind. My fiancé and I had our engagement shoot with Napoleon and the photos turned out amazing, we have had so many compliments. We can’t wait for our wedding photos which we know we will absolutely love. Thank you Roman & Napoleon!

    Excellent experience!!

    We are so happy chose Roman Grinev Photography. Thomas was our photographer and I have nothing but great things to say about him!! He did an amazing job and made everyone feel very comfortable. He went above and beyond, even helping us with things such as bustling my dress and fixing our cake. Definitely one of the best decisions we made. Thank you so much for helping make our day so perfect !

    Great photos, Great price!

    So happy that we chose Roman Grinev photography! We worked with Sean, who was super friendly and captured all of our important moments. He somehow managed to photograph nearly all of our 150 guests at the reception, and it's been fun to share those photos with family and friends.

    Roman's prices are very reasonable, which is a huge relief when planning a wedding in the DC area. Would definitely recommend!

    Beautiful photos, above and beyond photographer

    We were beyond lucky to have had Thomas at our wedding!! His photos are so alive and he captured so many wonderful moments, looking through the photos brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face because I felt like I was back in my best day ever. He was patient all day, gave guidance when needed and was beyond flexible- corralling our 12 person wedding party and two videographers. Professional photography skills aside, we truly appreciated him, not only because he’s amazing at his job but because of all the other jobs he took on throughout the day, stepping in as wedding planner (when ours was elsewhere)/videographer coordinator/veil attacher/dress bustler...the list goes on. Our wedding would not have gone as smoothly without him. During the planning process, Roman was very direct and easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend Roman Grinev Photography and Thomas in particular!!

    The best of the best

    My daughter was married last weekend so I have not yet seen any of the photographs. My daughter chose Thomas as her lead photographer and based on what I saw, I am confident the pictures will be beautiful. What I can tell you is that he came an hour early and scoped out the venue to get the best possible pictures. At one point, as I was trying to get my daughter's veil on, he gently came up behind me and whispered that the veil was backwards. He then took the veil, turned it, and placed it in her hair. At another point, he took the time to put on all the men's boutonnières. This to me, was above and beyond what he needed to do. Many guests said they never saw him as he snapped picture after picture. A very classy, fun-loving, and professional guy!

    Great work!

    Roman did a great job with the photography did our summer wedding! He was very responsive with any emails/phone calls I sent him. His prices are very reasonable and he is fairly quick at editing and returning the photos to you. I was planning my wedding from South GA—Roman made it very easy to plan the photography from a distance and to receive my photos after they had been edited.

    Beautiful photos + great service at affordable price

    Roman Grinev Photography offers fantastic, professional service and photos at a price well below that of its competitors in DC. We received our photos within five weeks of our wedding date and are particularly grateful to our photographer, Napoleon, for his vision.

    More than just a photographer!

    My husband and I had Sean as our photographer and he was more than exceptional for our wedding day! Not only was he extremely professional, but he was very kind, friendly, kept track of the things I had forgotten, and even acted as a therapist for me when I had a mini freak out about time. He was genuinely SO happy to be there and we were very comfortable around him like he was a best friend of ours.
    I would definitely recommend using Sean to anyone else, and I'm sure everyone else on the team is just as amazing!

    Roman Grinew Photography!! I cannot adequately express my gratitude for having Rob and Rod as our wedding photographers. So professional, so intuitive, so engaged! Every shot looked like magic. They were not intrusive but directed every posed shot to perfection and the candids were amazing, really captured the love and pure joy of our day! Thank you all so much for everything I couldn’t have asked for anything better! If you are a person looking for a photographer, look no further. Roman and his team are wonderful.

    I can't say enough good things about our experience with Roman Grinev Photography. From the first moment we reached out for more information, Roman was extremely responsive and informative. We were able to put together a package that represented exactly what we wanted--unlimited digit images, with editing, over a certain number of hours--for what we considered an incredible price. Then, on the actual wedding day, our photographer Thomas really delivered. We got a wonderful range of gorgeous shots, which we made into a Shutterfly album. The turnaround was much quicker than we expected, as well as quicker than they had estimated. Photos were pretty much the top priority for me, and I wasn't disappointed with my decision. I absolutely recommend RGP to any bride.

    Roman and Thomas, the two photographers for our wedding, are amazingly talented professionals. Their work is incredible-- check out the website and you'll see how wonderful they are. We have already recommended them to several friends!

    Roman was very professional and blended into the background while still getting excellent shots on the day of the wedding. He was easy to work with and very responsive leading up to the wedding.

    Thomas was really fun and personable and he took very creative shots. He was also very perceptive and took care of a lot of little things outside the scope of his traditional photographer duties, such as adding a napking to the cake cutting table when it had been forgotten by our day-of help. He really cared about making our day wonderful and we really appreciate that.

    You will not be disappointed if you choose Roman Grinev Photography as your wedding day photographer!

    Hiring Roman Grinev Photography was one of the best decisions we made. Roman, the owner, was very professional and nice when I met with him to talk about what we wanted in our wedding day photographer. We chose Napoleon. He did a great job! What a talented photographer...the photos are great! Napoleon blended in with the crowd and captured some great shots. Roman Grinev Photography (and Napoleon) is the way to go!

    My husband and I were married on 6/10/11 in havre de grace. We met with Roman Grinev back in 2010 to book his services. His aesthetic and that of the photographer we used from his company Thomas Wakfefield was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted the pictures to as much candid images as possible. We were definitely on a budget and wanted to stick with an accredited photographer as oppose to hiring someone who does it part time or is a student. We received great pictures highlighting the night with people dancing and having a great time. Thomas was a dream to work with and was there to get the great moments. We definitely recommend Roman Grinev and Thomas Wakefield for photography services.

    Jennifer is amazing! She seemed to be everywhere the entire wedding and was very unobtrusive! She is a very sweet person and helped calm my nerves before the ceremony. Also, she was open to any impromptu ideas we had. I am so glad we hired her and I can't wait to see the beautiful photos!!
