We had Sean for our big day, and he was incredible. He was like having a member of the family there! He was considerate of our photo wants, creative in making recommendations, and just an overall joy to have with us. Highly recommend both Roman's company and Sean!

High Quality Photos and a Lovely Person
We booked engagement photos and wedding day photos with Katie B. Not only do we love the end results of both, we loved working with her! My husband and I both do not like being the center of attention, and Katie helped us have fun during the photo sessions. She helped us get into poses that made us look good, and she made everything feel silly, special, and low-key. The experience with Roman Grinev, generally, was very well-coordinated and low-stress with very reasonable prices. We are still having trouble picking our favorite shots!

Great Photographer
Katie B was our photographer from this company and she was fantastic. She had a great eye for the venue and was very creative throughout our entire wedding day. She was kind and accommodating and the entire process with both her and Roman and the rest of the company was incredibly simple and supportive. I highly recommend them for future weddings.

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!!

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

Beautiful photos & appreciated flexibility
Like lots of couples, we pushed back our original wedding celebration due to COVID. We appreciated Roman's flexibility to have Parmiss cover our legal wedding in 2020, then return (with second shooter, Thomas) for our full celebration in 2021. We're thrilled with photos from both events, and appreciated how COVID-conscious Parmiss was at our family only 2020 ceremony. Parmiss is such a pleasure to work with -- she took charge and directed our friends + families for the photos we wanted to make sure to get, which took some stress off us. Parmiss's positive attitude ("you look amazing, this photo is perfect!") made us both feel at ease despite our nerves. Thomas was so laid-back and kept us laughing through a stressful day, and they worked seamlessly together to capture all the shots we wanted from a few different angles and styles. Despite a day that poured rain for the majority of the time we were doing our first look + bridal party portraits, both Parmiss and Thomas were total pros -- Parmiss even getting soaked to capture beautiful, rainy photos of us. The only downside of this company is that we didn't get any photo previews right after the wedding (which we knew going in), but they were worth the wait to get the full suite from Roman about six weeks later. Can't recommend enough.

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!

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!

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!

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!

Honestly Wonderful!
We had a GREAT time with Napoleon as our photographer on our wedding day. He set up a call with us beforehand to talk about our venues and any scheduling we wanted to talk through. The morning-of, he showed up early to scout out the venue, and I feel he did an awesome job. We've only seen a few photos back so far, but what we've seen we've loved. Highly recommend this company!

Amazing from start to finish!
I was initially a little surprised that Roman wanted to meet me in person to discuss my wedding photography vision. I was new to wedding planning and didn't know what to expect. Roman was incredibly professional, kind and thorough. He explained the process from start to finish and clearly answered any questions I had. He showed me portfolios from his different photographers and was VERY responsive in the weeks and months to come. Thomas was my photographer and was phenomenal. I lost my mom years ago and didn't really have someone telling me and others where to go and what to do so I was SO relieved when Thomas took charge and the initiative to tell my bridal party (10 on each side on the HOTTEST day of the summer) where to go and what to do. A ton of my guests commented on his ninja like skills to get amazing shots but also hardly be seen! Not sure how he did that. When I got my pictures back- they did not disappoint! They were fantastic. I strongly recommend Grinev Photography.

Simply the best!
All other wedding vendors help to shape the way your wedding looks and feels on the day that it happens. When it comes to choosing a photographer, you're picking the person who will tell the story of your wedding visually and will help you to remember (and re-celebrate) it in the years to follow. You could choose someone who is going to make your wedding look like a stock photo gallery, or you could choose someone who is going to capture what makes your wedding special and unique to you. This what Parmiss did for us, and is why we're so happy that we chose her!
We were attracted to Roman Grinev Photography because of the photographers' work and the company's set up and pricing. We chose Parmiss because we liked her work the best, but we knew that if something had happened, we'd have another talented photographer to save the day. Lucky for us, Parmiss was there and took truly beautiful and meaningful photographs.
I strongly recommend doing an engagement shoot with Parmiss (or the RG photographer you choose). It allowed her to get to know us and vice versa, and to produce some lovely shots. I was even more impressed with her work from the wedding: Parmiss can do anything but she is especially gifted with capturing completely candid moments, from the solemn to the silly.
Parmiss was great to work with. She's clear with directions when they're needed for posed photos, but can just as easily disappear (and yet be everywhere at the same time!) when taking candids. Parmiss is also efficient and is a pro at timing, a valuable skill on a fast-paced day. She is thorough about her work and very committed to what she does. You'll be glad if you choose her!

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 !

Super friendly and great product!
Napoleon was our photographer and he was amazing! Super friendly, prompt, communicative, and professional! He had great ideas for taking photos and was so into the job it was just so nice to see him take so much care into getting us good photos. He was great with our dogs and pushed us to get some photos with them as he was sure we’d get some good ones (we were nervous cause they’re a bit crazy). He wasn’t ever in the way, he snapped a lot of photos we didn’t even know he was getting. And he was great about getting us to sunset photos before we forgot. I just can’t say enough great things!

Great service, AMAZING photos
Roman and Thomas are great. Even with some issues with our venue and having to reschedule last minute, Roman and Thomas (our photographer) were able to work it all out with us. All the while being less expensive than many of the other options we looked into.
Thomas was the man at our wedding. He managed to capture such beautiful candid shots and even helped with all organizing and coordinating set shots. We gave him a quick overview of what the feel of our wedding should be and he managed to capture it perfectly. I cannot recommend him enough if you want to get literally hundreds of amazing photos that will make you want to print and frame each one.
After the wedding, once the edits were done, Roman sent over links for us to download and share all of our photos nice and easy. We also have the option for getting all sorts of physical prints/books/etc for reasonable prices a la carte.

Fantastic Photos, Enjoyable Experience
We just got our photos back from our July wedding and were thrilled with the results! Laura was our photographer, and not only was she an absolute pleasure to have around on the day of the wedding, she captured our day wonderfully. It was easy working with Roman from the outset, he was super responsive and we quickly felt comfortable entrusting our wedding photography to the company. Would definitely recommend Roman and Laura!

Unparalleled Artistry
My friend recommended Roman Grinev Photography, and after looking at their beautiful website and portfolios, we chose Laura as our wedding photographer. We could not be happier with our wedding photos! We wanted photos that would capture what it was like to be at out wedding with lots of candid shots. Laura worked incredibly hard to capture all of the right moments without drawing undue attention to herself. Our photos show the best parts of us and our day without looking forced. Our photos don't look like any other wedding photos I have seen--they are uniquely ours and capture our unique perspectives perfectly. We could not be happier with our photos and will recommend Roman Grinev Photography to everyone we meet!

We worked with Rod and are very glad we did! He has such a passion for photography and goes above and beyond to capture all of the beautiful moments of the wedding day. All of the pictures turned out phenomenal. We also did an engagement photo session with him. We had a lot of fun and these pictures turned out amazing as well. Roman Grinev Photography is great to work with, professional, and quick to respond.

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!
We worked with Sean from Roman Grinev photography and I am so happy that we chose them! Roman was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process and I really liked that his site featured a portfolio for each of the photographers that work with him, including a full suite of photos from a single wedding that they shot. It helped me to get a good feel for each photographer's style so that we could select the person who was the best fit. It was also beneficial that there was a group of photographers to choose from, since, when my initial pick left the company a few months before my wedding, there were still three excellent photographers who were available on my date. I am so happy that we ended up working with Sean - he is such a kind person and he helped to put me at ease as we wrangled family members and traveled between a few different locations for our photos. He even helped my husband and his groomsmen figure out their boutonnieres! Plus, Sean was a great sport when we got caught in a freak rainstorm at the monuments - he was the only person who had an umbrella and he sacrificed it to keep the bridesmaids and me dry. He even took a group "rainstorm" selfie which turned out to be one of my favorite photos of the day. We just received the rest of our professional photos and I am so pleased with the results. Neither my husband nor I am really comfortable in front of a camera, but Sean made us looked relaxed and our happiness showed through. He captured so many fantastic memories from the day and I will treasure the photos forever. I cannot recommend working with them enough!

So wonderful to work with!
As my now-husband and I were planning our wedding in April, I went through dozens of portfolios trying to find a photographer that not only had everything I was looking for, but was offering a reasonable price at the same time. I went through all the portfolios on Roman Grinev's website and quickly noticed the skill, talent, and attention to detail in all of the photographers! Laura really stood out to me - she had a beautiful technique and was really able to capture the emotion in her clients. We booked her quickly for eight hours for the wedding day and were absolutely delighted with how the photos turned out. They were beautiful and she and Roman were great to work with. Before the wedding, Roman was right there to answer all our questions and to make suggestions about our timeline. Day of, Laura was so calm and professional and was just so pleasant to work with. We ended up with over a thousand gorgeous photos that captured the entire day from start to finish, so I highly 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.

Top notch photography
Napolean was an artist at our wedding, capturing moments that told our story, through every facet of our sacred day. He is gifted with an engaging personality as well, and the ability to move about our day with barely being noticed! During the times we did engage he was courteous and full of positive energy. Roman Grinev was a delight to work with as well in helping us make the arrangements, and he has one of the fastest response times I've encountered in getting back to us with any questions we had. Thank you both so very much for what you do and for all you did for us!

Amazing Photos and Excellent Service!
My husband and I chose Roman Grinev Photography for our November 3rd wedding because of their photojournalistic style and quality of photos. We chose Roman as our photographer. He was extremely helpful and patient with us from the initial phone call. When our initial engagement session was postponed due to thunderstorms, Roman was flexible about helping us find a new date. During our engagement session he put us at ease and did an amazing job capturing our personalities even in the midst of sweltering August heat! On our wedding day Roman did an incredible job facilitating posed group photos, as well as capturing candid moments. It took exactly seven weeks for us to get our photos back, but the wait was so worth it! We are absolutely in love with our wedding photos! We couldn't stop beaming as we went through our gallery reliving the most perfect day. I highly recommend Roman Grinev Photography to any bride and/or groom looking for exceptional service and top-notch photos!

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.

Best Wedding Photographer!
Roman Grinev Photography did our wedding photography for our wedding in October 2018. We worked with Roman from the time of initial inquiry until after we received our wedding photos. Throughout the whole process, Roman was quick to respond, informative, and professional. He always gave us all the details from the beginning and answered my many questions. Roman Grinev Photography offers a variety of package options and prices, which we found one that perfectly met our desires. Sean was our photographer on our wedding day. My husband and I, and even our family and friends could not say enough wonderful things about Sean and his photography. He was so easy going and professional. He blended right in with the families and did not miss a moment on our wedding day. Sean paid special attention to our personalities and what we wanted through our wedding photos. He did a phenomenal job of capturing so many special and fun moments throughout the wedding day! Both Roman and Sean made our wedding photography decision and process stress-free and easy! They were both absolutely great to work with and exceeded our expectations in what we wanted. We highly recommend using Roman Grinev Photography for your wedding, special event or other photography needs. We look forward to using them again in the future!

Wonderful to work with, wonderful photos!
My husband and I had Rod as our photographer. He did a wonderful job of capturing the day (and was also incredibly friendly)! The photos are beautiful and we especially love how the candid ones during the reception turned out. Throughout the entire process from start to finish, Roman Grinev Photography was so easy to work with and very responsive. I really love how they provide high quality digital copies of all of the photos so that clients can print or use them however they wish.

Great engagement/wedding photos
To state this up front, we have not actually received the wedding photos yet. My wife and I were married on October 21st at Kentlands Mansion in Gaithersburg, MD, and we hired Roman Grinev Photography for both the wedding and for engagement photos that we took in the spring. Given the quality of the engagement photos (of which we received somewhere between 150 and 200), we have no concerns about posting a 5-star rating before actually receiving the wedding photos.
We chose to have Thomas as our main photographer (for the engagement photos and for 6 hours on our wedding day) and Sean as our secondary photographer (4 hours on our wedding day). A secondary photographer isn't required, but it worked well for us given the layout of the venue. Both were a pleasure to work with--very professional, accommodating, good interactions with our guests, etc. Thomas in particular went above and beyond the call of duty--e.g., he helped pin boutonnieres and bustled my wife's wedding dress after the ceremony. Roman, who does the photo editing and much of the coordination, was also easy to work with.
All of this--two photographers on our wedding day and engagement photos--was reasonably priced given the quality of the photography (about $3,000). There are plenty of extras you can add, but the basics include high-resolution digital copies of the photos.

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!

I worked with Sean from Roman Grinev Photography and he was absolutely amazing! We booked him for our engagement shoot and the wedding day. He was punctual, extremely professional but most importantly, a TERRIFIC photographer. Sean's style of photography is very natural but yet artistic, which was exactly what we wanted. Sean ensured every moment of our wedding captured, from the ceremony to cocktail hour and the reception. Needless to say, we are extremely happy with the services provided. The price was very reasonable and every penny we spent was worth it. I will definitely be coming to Roman Grinev & his team for future photography needs.

Working with Roman Grinev Photography was a great experience! Roman and my lead photographer, Laura, were very organized making my life MUCH easier with all of the other details I was trying to keep track of. Laura was a calming presence the day of our wedding and the photos are truly fantastic, capturing so many of the details we missed on our wedding day. They provide a lot of service for the great value!

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.

We could not have been happier with Roman Grinev Photography! I was extremely impressed by the quality of the images on their website and reached out to Roman. Roman worked with me to make a contract that fit our budget and was very flexible when we wanted to add more time to our wedding photography services. Sean was the photographer we chose for our wedding and he captured the joy and love of our celebration perfectly. He showed up on time and work hard for the whole time segment we had hired him for. The photos took seven weeks to be polished before we were able to download and view them but they were well worth the wait. We will treasure the pictures from our wedding forever and will certainly reach out to them again in the future with any other photography needs.

We used Thomas and we couldn’t have have asked for someone more professional. As we all know weddings can be unpredictable and Thomas was able to adapt to everything. My groomsmen were even a little roudy and Thomas but everyone into shape and took our photos . I haven’t seen the albums yet but I know they’ll turn out great . Thank you Thomas .

Roman was great with communication from the very beginning. He took the time to speak with me and answer all my questions. Selecting a photographer from his team was a very clear process and he accommodated my additional requests to help me make my decision. I loved their price point as well. Laura was my photographer and I couldn't have been happier with our choice. She was extremely understanding of the weather uncertainty. Not to mention, she was also very kind, flexible and accommodating. On the day of, she knew exactly what pictures to take and gave us very clear directions. The photos came on time as promised and turned out amazing! I love that this company focuses on candid storytelling through pictures and I am so happy with everything. They also include a copy of digital negatives to download and own. The pictures aren't watermarked with their company logo and the quality of the photos was great. Highly recommend!

We worked with Dawn and she was amazing! Very fun and did not make it awkward. We wanted more candids and she did exactly that. They gave us a link to all of the pictures to share with family and friends and an easy way to download them. Extremely reasonably priced as well. Very glad we had the chance to work with them. Highly recommend this company for weddings, or any professional photography needs you may have!

We had Thomas shoot our recent wedding and everything was seamless! He was incredible to work with and got all the shots we had asked for during a phone consultation. He was very professional and helped us out with much more than just photos. When we didn't know how to put pocket squares in the guys, he jumped in and showed how. He also helped out in instructing how to do my veil and the buttons on my dress and made sure everything looked good. Overall, great experience and highly recommend!

We choose Roman Grinev Photography after seeing samples of their pics online. Tom Wakefield was out photographer - he did both our engagement shoot and our wedding. He was GREAT! Our engagement shoot was a last minute decision where I asked Roman on a Thursday if it could be done on Sat or Sun, and Roman and Tom accommodated. Tom did an incredible job at the wedding of capturing the moments. As the bride, I missed a lot of the things going on in the hour or 2 leading up to the wedding, so it was really nice to see the pics that Tom got of everyone right getting and leading up to the ceremony. He was able to capture great moments without being intrusive - everyone who has seen the pics has commented on how good of a job he did. Since these serve as our memories, we are VERY happy that we went with such a professional company to forever immortalize our special day!!

I had the pleasure of working with Roman Grinev Photography for our September 30th wedding at The Winery at Bull Run! Sean was our photographer and our wedding pictures turned out amazing!!! Sean did a great job of getting all of the photos I wanted, and more! I hardly noticed him the day of, but looking back on the photos he caught so many memories that we have been looking at over and over re-living our special day! Sean did an absolutely phenomenal job! Roman was also a pleasure to work with. Before our wedding, we connected and he answered all of my questions in regards to photos, timelines, etc. He was always very quick to respond- which always makes a bride feel better. I would recommend Sean and Roman Grinev Photography ALL day!!!

We had a great experience using Roman Grinev Photography for our wedding on August 12th, 2017. We chose to have Napoleon as our photographer, and we included an engagement photo session in our package. We met Napoleon for the first time in person at the location for our engagement photo session in June, and he was very friendly. He was very quick to scope out the venue, and found some nice locations to take pictures. We received almost 300 photos from the session, and they turned out great!
To prepare for the wedding, Roman had us fill out a form with specifics of our timeline, and we also could give details on how we wanted to do our photos (location, portraits, etc.). During the day of the wedding, Napoleon started by taking getting-ready pictures at the hotel. He then drove to the venue ahead of us, and the bridal party, to start taking pictures of my wedding dress and the venue. He worked closely with our videographer and day-of-coordinator to make sure all the important things were captured the way we wanted, without being in anyone’s way. During the wedding ceremony, he moved all over the place very quickly and professionally, and neither we, nor the guests, noticed him at all. We did not know he was moving around so much until we received our photos, which was amazing! He also got a variety of photos during our wedding reception, and he was able to take us aside during the reception to take some additional portrait photos of my husband and I.
It took about 7 weeks to get the pictures back to us, which we didn’t mind, since we were initially told it would take about 8 weeks. We received almost 1500 pictures, and we are very happy with them! We highly recommend Roman Grinev Photography and Napoleon for your wedding photography!

If you are looking for an experienced and professional photographer, then Mr. Grinev is the one. He is responsible, attentive, and professional. He was able to follow on all our requests for photos even if we had already taken them a few minutes ago. His experience is worth every penny!!

We had Rodney photograph our wedding reception in July of 2017 (at the Ospreys at Belmont Bay - see separate review) and we had such a great experience working with him! Rodney is so talented and captured so many special moments throughout the day. His style is photo-journalistic, and that really shines through in the photos we received - each one brings to life a special moment that would have otherwise been easily lost and forgotten in such a busy and hectic day. The photos are not only aesthetically lovely in the balance of light and color, but more importantly, they also capture their subjects' essence very well, and naturally. You can see smiles in the subjects' eyes, and not just on their faces, and each photo reawakens the smells, the sounds, the laughter, and the hustle and bustle of a happy occasion.
We had asked Rodney to take "engagement style" photos of us as a couple before the reception and he did a fantastic job capturing both this and the reception itself. We received over 700 photos for a 4 hour event, and they were a great mix of photos of us (the couple), our families, and the guests as well. Roman, the owner of the studio was very helpful and responsive to the many questions I had throughout the process.
As a person, Rodney was kind and approachable, and took the time to listen to what we were looking for in our photos. As a photographer, he went above and beyond. The day before our reception, Rodney spent about an hour on the phone with me as I described the style of photos I am drawn to, and what I wanted to remember of the day. I am no professional photographer, but he was able to figure out what I was looking for and incorporate this into the photos. Our reception started at 10:00 AM but Rodney showed up a few hours early to scout the reception venue for good photos spots. All in all, he approached the task of capturing our reception with all the dedication and enthusiasm as if he were capturing his own wedding.

Although we don't have our official pictures yet, we just know we're going to be so pleased with them! We met with Roman several months ago and decided to hire him and his team on the spot. We were impressed with Roman's obvious knowledge and experience, and the portfolios of the photographers available to choose from. We chose Thomas as our photographer and, from the initial phone call to the big day, he exceeded every expectation we had from a photographer. Thomas was so friendly and helpful throughout the event, and seemed to be everywhere at all times! Our guests raved about how personable he was, and both the groom and I were impressed with the shots he suggested, the shots he knew to take when we didn't ask, and his ability to capture so many perfect moments - he even helped the groomsmen put on their boutonnieres! With over 4,000 pictures taken within his time with us, we just know we're going to have the amazing memories from our wedding last us a lifetime. Thank you!!
Update: As an update to my earlier review, we've now received our pictures - over 1,300 beautiful, amazing pictures that commemorate what an amazing day we had! With a variety of angles, poses, lighting, etc., the pictures truly capture all of the personality, love and happiness that encompassed our wedding. Thank you to Thomas for such incredible work, and thank to you Roman for the fantastic experience! We HIGHLY recommend Roman Grinev for all of your photography needs!

Roman and his team are exceptionally professional; I worked with Sean at my wedding and was very pleased with the results of the photography. He captured sentimental moments that my husband and I will be able to look back on for years to come. Would recommend Roman and his team to anyone!

SO happy that we ended up going with Roman Grinev Photography for our big day. We initially met with Roman who came to a spot convenient for us to discuss our day and after looking through albums we ended up going with Rodney as our photographer. The day of the wedding Rodney showed up much earlier than he was scheduled for to introduce himself in person and to walk around the ceremony/reception venue so he could visualize where he would like to take pictures of us. From the moment the ceremony started he was EVERYWHERE getting phenomenal pictures of everyone. He found GORGEOUS lighting to do a little shoot of me and my husband and made us feel totally at east even though we had never had professional pictures taken. His entire demeanor, professionalism and dedication to his work is unparalleled. We cannot wait to see the full album of all the pictures and couldn't be happier that Rodney was a part of our day!

We got married this past February and were very happy with Roman Grinev Photography. I am a hobbyist photographer, and while I'm not very good I know what I like in photographs. After searching for many hours online looking for a photographer that was both highly skilled and well priced I found Roman Grinev Photography. We went with Rodney as our photographer and he was great. He was flexible, communicative, creative, non-intrusive, and professional. They were good at trying to find out what we want and at going with the flow when things got crazy on the day of the wedding. I highly recommend.

We are so happy we chose Roman Grinev Photography for our wedding! We first met with Roman who was immediately very responsive, answered all our questions, and brought plenty of portfolios to help us make our decision. Then several weeks before the wedding Roman had a questionnaire that covered all the basics for the day and made it so easy to be sure we weren't forgetting anything.
Laura was our photographer and she was fantastic! We spoke before the wedding and she seemed to immediately understand the kind of vibe and look we were going for. She was very flexible- willing to go with whatever plan we had dreamt up for the day, but also willing to offer any suggestions for how to make things run smoothly if we weren't sure. On the day she was the best mix of photographer- for the most part we hardly noticed she was there, but she also had the best way of directing people into different positions and generally herding our families, including some small children.
And when we got the pictures we were so happy! Laura managed to capture all the best moments and really focused on the people, rather than a bunch of pictures of the venue or something that we would never really look at again. All in all, we would highly recommend Roman Grinev Photography!

We chose Thomas as our photographer and he is just AMAZING!!!! Felt instantly like he was a part of my family and you never knew where we would show up for the perfect photo op! Just awesome at directing all the family members during the "formal" pics! So professional and easy to be around!!! We were sad to see him go as he was just a special part of the night! And bless him..... we did our wedding outdoors, at night, in December! He hung in there like a trooper!!! WE can't wait to see all the magical pictures we know he got! :) Thank you Thomas!!!!

I was beyond pleased with this photography company, and highly recommend them! Laura not only took beautiful photos at our wedding, but she was so genial that guest after guest commented afterward on how much they liked her. She was completely fine with all the guests trying to snap their own shots, and whenever she saw people taking selfies, offered to take professional shots of them as well. She was on-time and easy to contact before and after the wedding. Roman, who heads the business, was also wonderful. We were so busy before the wedding and couldn't make it out to his area, so he came into the city on a Sunday afternoon to meet with us. That was incredibly helpful! Really, this is a great business.

If you reading this, CONGRATS! Save the time and trouble and take my advice - this vendor is brilliant!
We had such a tough time finding the right photographer (met with approx 7). We were after a professional yet affordable package (yes, almost impossible) that included all our proofs and albums. But we also wanted someone who will let us enjoy our night and not control it.
I felt great about Roman from the first call - never even met the man! He informed me of my photographer, Thomas, and i did my research - all ticks.
On the day - blown away!!!! Thomas is such a charming and professional person - he made himself a part of our bridal party (subtly) and we absolutely welcomed him. Not over controlling - and made us feel so comfortable the entire day.
After the event - Roman touched base and within 6 weeks, 1400 high res images of the most amazing wedding photography! Thank you Thomas, Thank you Roman!
Make the initial call - wont regret it!
Good luck :)

Thomas Wakefield was everything we could have possibly wanted and more! He was easy and playful which fit our family perfectly! He was patient and had great ideas and made us so comfortable. I was very specific about not wanting "forma" portraits, I wanted him to capture our genuine moments. He was great herding the groom, myself, and our four teen and twenty-something kids. We had fun being ourselves and Thomas embraced and photographed every moment.
I haven't seen the photos yet, but I can't say enough great things about Thomas and Roman.
Thank you!

We worked with Roman for out wedding and he was great! He was flexible without requests for pictures and went from house to house to capture the bride and then the groom. We did not notice him at the ceremony or the reception and our guests said he was not intrusive in our day. We gave him a list of pictures for after the ceremony and he was respectful of our different family situation and moved everyone along quickly to get us to the cocktail reception on time. Our wedding was joined by the remnants of the hurricane but Roman put the rain to work and did not let it ruin pictures one bit! He was a fun person to be around and made us all feel so comfortable. We would hire him and and recommend him! We can't wait to see the pictures!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Roman Grinev Photography. We initially met with Roman who was happy to show us full portfolios of each of the photographers from whom we could select. He was very helpful answering all of the questions we had, and shared with us their rigorous back-up plans for the highly unlikely event of something unexpected occurring either human-related or technology-related. One of the best characteristics about Roman's photography business is the customer gets the rights to the photos and in addition to an online ordering system, receives a DVD of the photos. We selected Thomas and could not have been happier with his work. Thomas photographed both an engagement session and our wedding. The photographs from both are absolutely beautiful, capturing subtleties of us and our loved ones in the moment. Thomas was also personally wonderful to work with. He has a bright and approachable personality and we were comfortable around him from the start. He has a significant amount of experience and takes a personal interest in ensuring things go smoothly on the big day. We highly recommend Roman Grinev Photography and intend to use their services for any future professional photography needs.

We worked with Thomas and Roman for our March wedding. They were amazing and we cannot recommend them more highly. Thomas was our main photographer, and he really went above and beyond to make sure we got the pictures that we wanted.
It had snowed in DC three days prior to our wedding, but I had my heart set on taking pictures outside, so Thomas found a spot near the hotel that was clean and snow free.
Thomas was relaxed and easygoing, which is just what we need for our already hectic wedding day, and all the while, together with Roman, got every picture that we requested, and fabulous candid pictures from the entire night. Thomas also knows how to fasten boutonnieres which came in very helpful as we were rushing to get everyone picture ready, and he even bustled my wedding gown after the ceremony. In addition, they were very familiar with the details of a traditional Jewish wedding - and made sure to catch all the details and moments that are important to the ceremony.
A few weeks after the wedding, we got an online preview of our pictures and 3 CDs with 1800 pictures a few months later.
Roman was very responsive to our questions both before and after the wedding, and we are so happy with the outcome. We highly recommend that you go with Roman Grinev Photography - both Thomas and Roman were awesome.

Roman and Thomas were our two wedding photographers for our March 2015 wedding at Sequoia restaurant in DC. Overall, we could not have been happier with the experience. Roman was friendly and engaging when I first met with him to discuss the wedding. He was very receptive to our goals on the wedding day (take care of family portraits early and quickly so we could enjoy the day). The weeks up to the wedding, he contacted us about specific photos to take, and he covered our wish list on the day of the ceremony. Before, during and after the wedding, he was professional, non-intrusive but present to capture all of the key moments. Having two photographers was the way to go- while one was taking portrait pictures, the other was taking venue pictures- so we had all of bases covered. We had a sneak peak of our pictures on their blog 10 days after the wedding, and received a CD copy of all 1500 pictures (!) about 8 weeks after the wedding date. The pics were great, and we couldn't be happier. I would have no reservations about recommending Roman Grinev photography to any future. As a note, our wedding was a same-sex affair, and Roman couldn't have cared less (translation- his company is supportive of LGBT couples).

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.

Our wedding was just a few months ago in July and we have already had beautiful pictures to remember the special occasion for at least the past few weeks. From the beginning, Roman Grinev Photography was professional, responsive, and friendly. I had originally contacted another photographer (ErinMarie) who, after asking us to drive all the way to Germantown for a meeting ended up dropping all communication with me. Roman had reached out once before and again followed up in perfect timing to see if I still needed a photographer. The value of the photography package we chose was great. They had 7 photographers to choose from, who all had great portfolios, but this option allowed us to select our preferred style amongst these photographers with the assurance of an excellent back-up if our photographer had an emergency or was sick. Thomas was our photographer. He arrived early to the ceremony site and got all of the important shots I requested. He also helped us move through the transitions from the ceremony to the reception as we weren't 100% sure how or when we should do everything. He was friendly and professional. We received pictures online about 6 weeks after the wedding, incredibly timely and exactly what they had estimated from the beginning. From there the turnaround to receive printed pictures that we selected and the CD with all of the images, was incredibly fast and all beautiful. I would definitely suggest Roman Grinev Photography to anyone looking for a photographer to capture a special event.

We loved working with Roman Grinev Photography. We met with Roman in Baltimore and were able to review many full albums in order to select the specific photographer we wanted to use. We selected Shamus and he was great. Despite having car troubles on the day of our wedding, he was there early, was extremely professional yet fun to be around, and both the bridal party and guests felt very comfortable. Even though it rained on the day of our wedding and we weren't able to get any great outdoor shots, he made the best of what he had to work with and all of the pictures came out great!

After searching for a photographer for a while and having no luck with one we liked, we finally found Roman and his company. From the first contact with him, he was always very cordial, detail-oriented and helpful in making sure our day was going to be very special. On the day of the wedding, he stayed mostly in the background to be able to capture the moments from our day from start to finish. He also took tons of pictures to make sure he got the best shot possible. He went through post processing of each and every one to make sure they were as perfect as they could be. We highly recommend using Roman for your wedding day photographer.

Roman Grinev Photography is an a very professional company with beautiful talent. From the very beginning, Roman was responsive, flexible, and accommodating, and he followed through with professionalism. We chose Rachel as our wedding day photographer based on her profile and portfolio, and we definitely made the perfect choice!! She was everything we wanted in a photographer for our special day. Discreet yet persistent, she was right there at every key moment, yet neither one of us remembered her being obtrusive. While looking our photos, we caught ourselves saying multiple times, "She caught that? I didn't see her right there!". We also appreciated her warm, friendly and fun-loving personality. We love the story that she created of our wedding day, and would most definitely recommend her and this company to anyone! Thank you Roman and Rachel!! :)

I had Thomas as my main photographer and Shamus as my secondary photographer. Both were extremely professional and helpful. And the pictures were incredible! They captured every moment and emotion from the day. Now my husband and I have almost 2000 pictures to remember our wedding day by! I can't wait to make albums for my family!

We had the privilege of having Thomas photograph our June 30th wedding. He was charming and got so many great photos! We are going to have a hard time narrowing down photos for our album due to how many great ones that we have! From the day we visited Roman's studio they have been nothing but professional and courteous. We wholeheartedly recommend Roman Grinev's photography to any bride looking for amazing service for a great price!

Amazing! We used Napoleon for our June 9th wedding. Our friends used him for their wedding 2 years prior and we loved how their photos turned out! Working with him was awesome, completely professional. He knew exactly what to do. They are well priced! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
We got our pictures back within the amount of time they promised and love each and every one of them. Napoleon completely captured our day. I am so glad I went with them and am thrilled with the entire experience! I would highly recommend Roman Grinev Photography.

I contacted Roman and had all my questions answered quickly. The prices are great and for the quality of photography, a steal I think! Roman helped me pick our photographer Rachel who works with him. We did engagement photos October 2012 at the Smithsonian Castle in DC and was delighted by Rachel. She had original ideas and did not do a lot of posing, but rather captured our natural looks. Plus she was flexible and willing to travel, so we even entertained the idea of going to Baltimore, but declined since DC is our city. All our friends and family loved the engagement photos and we are so happy to have them for the rest of our lives.
For our wedding day, Rachel was great. She contacted us ahead of time and we filled out an information form so everything was smooth between vendors and the timeline. She asked for our requests multiple times and what locations we wanted to shoot in. She was everywhere capturing photos without us realizing it for 98% of the time during the entire evening, letting us keep the day special. She had great ideas and worked with the location wonderfully and was professional while being funny and lively to keep us from being bored of all the photos. She is a delight and I hope to use her in the future for any life events, as she was a joy to work with and was such a wonderful photographer. Words cannot describe how happy I am with her and I cannot wait to see the edits!

I HIGHLY recommend working with Roman and his photographers. After looking through several reviews of several photographers, we narrowed down our search to Roman Grinev photography. Roman was extremely calm, kind, and professional during our first meeting. He carefully explained all of the details of the photography process and the styles of each of his photographers. He had several albums of complete weddings from each of the photographers so we really got a chance to look through them and see how each photographer "told" the story of each couple's wedding day. We decided to go with Rachel because her photos really captured the emotions of the weddings. She paid such close attention to the little details like flower petals, the light hitting the bride's face when she saw her husband for the first time, the sparkle of the rings, and faces on the families for all of the hugs. I really fell in love with her style.
I thought I already loved Rachel's style from the album photos, but I was completely blown away when I got to work with Rachel on my wedding day. She arrived early and started taking photos of Antrim. She was so calm and professional, and she was an incredibly warm person to work with. She even helped me get into my dress! I had some complicated buttons so she helped my mom fasten them. Rachel helped me and my fiance get some wonderful photos, and she even snuck us away during the reception to get a beautiful set of photos during the sunset. I rarely saw her, she was an invisible camera that took pictures of all of the details and of all of our guests. I loved her unobtrusive style, and I loved how she really made us feel so special. I can't say enough good things about Rachel, she was simply amazing!

I rarely write reviews but Rachel was our photographer for our August wedding at Celebration at the Bay and she was absolutely phenomenal!!!! The photos were gorgeous. My husband and I are a bit camera shy and she worked with us to get so many excellent, candid photos that not only captured the moment but the feel of the moment too!
She was the sweetest person ever as well. Not intrusive at all...I barely knew that she was there but she took photos of EVERY perfect moment...ones that I didn't even notice in all the hustle and bustle. Also, she went above and beyond her duties and helped some of the groomsmen pin their corsages and helped me with bustling my dress, etc. I've never met a kinder, more professional person.
Anyone who chooses Rachel, is sooooo lucky to have her. This post doesn't even do her justice. If you choose to have her photograph your wedding, you will have ABSOLUTELY no regrets.

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!

I am very happy that we chose Roman Grinev Photography for our wedding day. Our photographer was Napoleon, and he was really easy to work with and got so many great pictures. Roman was very responsive throughout the whole process, and the total cost was a great deal compared to other quality photographers in the DC metro area.

If I could give more than five stars I would. Our photographer was Robert. He was wonderful. The pictures came out just lovely. Everyone was commenting on how good he was. I heard a lot of "He was right in the action but never annoying or pushy. " We had a fairly casual and non-traditional wedding and he really captured the spirit in his pictures. I felt like Roman and Robert both really understood what we were going for and didn't try to make our wedding something it wasn't.
The pictures came back beautiful too. They took quite awhile but that was because every single one was edited ( not sure this is the correct photography term?) so they were all lovely and ready for printing. Well worth the wait.
I would recommend them to anyone and have already given people their number. People were begging me for it at the wedding itself!

I can't say for sure how the photos turned out yet but considering how many he took and how in tune he was with us they have to be amazing. Shamus blended in with the crowd but still managed to get all of the photos that we wanted. He was always willing to take any photos we wanted. After the wedding numerous people mentioned how wonderful he was and we couldn't help but agree. All of the portfolios we saw with Roman were beautiful but something about Shamus' just spoke to us and I think the photos will tell the perfect story of our wedding day.

Roman and his team did such a phenomenal job with the photography of our wedding! His associate Thomas photographed the wedding and was professional, relaxed and very personable. My entire wedding party had a blast with him during the shoots and the pictures turned out gorgeous. Roman was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. With all of the stressful decisions I had to make as the bride over the coarse of planning the wedding, I can honestly say Roman Grinev made the photography part very easy.

Tom Wakefield was our wedding photographer and he did such an amazing job. The pictures are beautiful and really captured the day! Tom was so nice and the people at Roman Grinev have just been great to work with.

Our daughter selected Shamus to help make her wedding story. Shamus was professional and patient with our many requests for photos. He seemed to weave throughout the party, becoming a part of it, while recording the events of the day. He was creative with his ideas for photos. Can't want to see the finished photos!

We used Roman Grinev Photography for our July wedding. Thomas was our primary photographer and Rachel the second photographer. The entire process was fabulous! Roman met with me to discuss options and look at portfolios. Once I had selected the photographer, Thomas helped me create a timeline that maximized our time with each photographer and the main events of the day/night. The day of, Thomas was on time and flowed seamlessly with everything that happened. The day was a bit rainy/cloudy, but looking at the photos you would never be able to tell! Rachel was also wonderful! Both photographers took some great posed and candid shots and their creativity was superb! The photos really captured “the story” of our wedding, which was exactly what we wanted. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Roman Grinev Photography!
