    Agung did not just seize the day, but MADE the day. He had the best jokes and happy go lucky attitude that kept us all smiling and laughing throughout the entire day.
    He made sure we covered everything on schedule and arranged us well. He helped to alleviate the stress of the wedding simply by being his joyful self. He also took gorgeous shots and made everybody feel more confident and comfortable around the camera.
    I cannot thank him enough for doing such a wonderful job and leading us through the day in a way that was not pushy, awkward, and aloof like some other photographers. I really felt like he was a part of the celebration.
    He did his homework and really got to know everybody in the party. Extra points for learning the language!
    For some context, it was my sister's garden wedding and he even handled getting the whole wedding party to travel a significant distance while racing against sunset well.

    Agung is amazing! Our wedding isn't until October, but we did our engagement shoot with him recently and were blown away. Not only is he extremely friendly and super easy to get along with, but he makes you feel like he really values you and what you want as a client. He included our dog in our engagement pictures, which was so important to us. I'm sure that isn't easy to do as a photographer, but he made it look easy and managed to catch so many beautiful moments! I was beyond impressed. The quality of his work is phenomenal, and his eye for creativity is a natural gift. He is super responsive, and just wonderful all around. I'm so excited to see what he can do at our wedding!

    Wow, what can I even begin to say about Agung! Photography was one of the most important aspects about our wedding, and Agung did not disappoint. His work ethic and enthusiasm for what he does shows in every picture that he takes. First off, he spent over 5 hours with us during our engagement session in 3 different locations and kept us laughing the whole time! He came to our rehearsal so he could become familiar with our church venue and also did a tour of the meeting so that we could plan and discuss different aspects of the day. On our wedding day, he showed up earlier than scheduled and stayed with us the entire day! My large bridal party was so impressed that he memorized everyone's names. Not only does he offer competetive pricing and exceptional service, Agung was so accommodating in hearing all my concerns and ideas and made our day the best yet! Don't think twice about booking with Seize the Day!

    Choosing Seize The Day Photography was the best decision we made for our wedding! Of course Agung's pictures are incredible and second to none, but what really sets him apart from other wedding photographers I have worked with are his ability to connect with the bride and groom and their family and friends and his incredible attention to detail. From instantly making us feel at ease while we took our engagement photos to ensuring our exit from the reception was perfect, Agung made sure every aspect of our wedding was exactly how we imagined, if not better! Agung worked with us throughout the wedding planning process to ensure he was aware of all of the special details that were important to us, knew everyone in the wedding party, and knew about any family dynamics that could be important on the big day. By the time our wedding day rolled around, Agung felt like family! In fact, while we were getting ready, our make up artist asked if he was a close family friend! Because Agung took the time to understand exactly which pictures we wanted, who we wanted in them, and even where we wanted them taken, he was able to work with the people at the church and reception venue and advocate for us to ensure we got every picture we wanted.
    Lots of our friends and family members told us how incredible he was during and after the wedding. He had an amazing way of making everyone feel comfortable, whether we were taking fun pictures of the wedding party in the garden or family pictures in the church. And when we got the pictures, we were even happier than we had been the day of the wedding--something we didn't think was possible! We were shocked and incredibly delighted that we had pictures of everyone at the wedding. From grandparents to college friends, he got pictures of everyone that was important to us! After the wedding, my sister said she would have to chose her wedding date based on Agung's availability because she couldn't imagine using another photographer!

    Agung Fauzi from Seize the day Photography is not only an amazing artist but an incredible human being. My now-husband and I felt so comfortable working with him from the very first conversation that we had together. Agung was extremely responsive, answering our emails/phone calls in a timely manner. He was also very thorough with his questions regarding the type of pictures we wanted. We had a very small and intimate wedding (14 of us total), and he knew the names of all of our guests, including their nicknames, which made them feel comfortable and at ease. He was also full of life as he captured our family pictures, making everyone laugh and creating a very light and joyful environment.

    He truly captured our event and atmosphere faithfully. We couldn't be happier our photos, which we will cherish for years to come. Thank you Agung!

    This review is long overdue in regards to our wedding photography as well as the engagement & save the date photography experiences we had with you! You have such an artistic eye, you worked hard & went above & beyond in everything that you did for us from day one of hiring you as our photographer. Your work is absolutely stunning & your personality just makes everyone so happy. Your laughing was contagious and put us & our wedding party at ease for posed photos. You & Jon make for a great team & we really appreciated that you all checked in with us throughout the day to make sure everything was flowing smoothly & that we were able to get breaks in between mingling & photo time. You even got our guests all hyped up and cheering during our cake cutting and champagne toast; making it all so over the top fun for everyone! -- That was just over the top amazing; thank you! You allowed us to choose a custom backdrop from JoAnne's and then went & purchased it for our photo booth and did a custom set-up to allow for an open booth style set-up; again, you went above & beyond; thank you! I have a relaxed personality but am a perfectionist so I asked a lot of you as far as the types of pictures we wanted & you just really worked your magic making it all happen! You thoughtfully & beautifully presented our wedding photos on disc to us in a special photo gift box format. You quickly worked us in to be able to take some Save the Date pics & spent a long day venturing to different sites & maintained high energy taking our engagement photos. We cannot say enough good things about your professionalism, punctuality & talent & are looking forward to working with you more for our future life events! Thank you for a flawless day & for all of the quick & reassuring interactions with us. We love looking through our plethora of gorgeous engagement & wedding photos that you graced us with; thank you for all the time & care you put into everything & for sharing your talent with the world.

    My wife and I hired Agung and Seize the Day Photography to shoot both our wedding and our engagement photos. Throughout the entire process Agung was more than accommodating in arranging times to meet, and was always happy to take our calls and answer any of our questions.

    When we received our engagement photos we were absolutely blown away, and couldn't imagine them coming out any better.

    When it came to our wedding, Agung met up with us a few days before hand and we walked the venue and all of the adjacent areas. This allowed us to plan where we would be taking photos and again they came out perfect.

    Throughout the entire day Agung and his team maintained a low profile and were able to get absolutely amazing candid shots of the entire event. He's also the most energetic and organized photographer I've ever met and ran all of the family/wedding party photos like a pro. The day was a whirlwind, but all of the photos he took gave us the ability to relive the entire event.

    I highly recommend that you hire Agung, and I know for a fact you won't regret it.

    Of all the wedding vendors we worked with, Seize the Day was heads and shoulders above the rest. Agung's talent and creativity made for exceptional pictures. We had tons of more traditional family pictures (that my mom happy) and plenty of individualized, more modern pictures that we love. We had a Skype call with Agung before the wedding to go all details about timing and the kinds of things we wanted done. It was very helpful and the day of went 100% smoothly. The day of the wedding was hectic and we had hair, makeup, floral vendors all over the place. Agung was the one that vendor that did not feel like a stranger in the way, but he was certainly there because he captured amazing pictures of us and our families getting ready. So many things in the wedding industry feel like you're being taken advantage of and Seize the Day was the one exception to that. We cannot recommend him enough!

    After having our engagement photo session with Agung he made us feel so much more comfortable having our photographs taken. We received the photos very quickly and loved them! They were so vibrant and colorful and he found just the right spots to get great shots. He did a great job capturing the details and getting the formal shots on our wedding day as well. We invited guests to join us for couple/group photos while the staff rearranged the ceremony seating for cocktail hour and he did an excellent job taking the photos and moving through quickly so we could get back for cocktail hour. We received many compliments about him from our guests and my sister has already booked him for her newlywed photos. He is also very friendly and cheerful; a pleasure to work with.

    Agung is a very professional, creative, energetic photographer. His work is absolutely stunning!

    He is so excited and enthusiastic about photography and ensuring that everyone has a great time! He even added an additional creative touch on my ideas. His turn-around time for the photos is incredibly FAST, too! We took our engagement session and within a few days he had the pictures ready. Our wedding pictures were organized and delivered in less than two weeks! He clearly loves what he does, and it shows!

    Agung went above and beyond to make everyone at the wedding smile and laugh for the pictures and capture our special day like no one else could have. Numerous times our parents, family, and friends came up to us saying what a smart choice we made in having Agung take our wedding photos. During our reception, he surprised us by printing pictures that he had taken that night and put them in cards so we could distribute them to our family the same day!

    I honestly cannot think of anything negative to say about Agung. Photography was one of my top priorities for our wedding, and Agung definitely went the extra mile to make it perfect. I highly recommend Seize the Day Photography!

    Seize the day photography was the best part of my wedding. Agung is absolutely amazing, he is personable, fun, and has such a great eye for the perfect shot. I cannot express how happy we ate too know him and to have had him as a part of our big day. If you are considering hiring someone else, DON'T! Trust me, you will love his energy, and our photo album is so much better than we could have ever expected. All of our guests were gushing over our "best photographer they had every seen". Now it's time to plan another event so we can hire him again :)

    Agung of Seize the Day Photography is our favorite wedding service provider. He took our engagement photos at the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, and our wedding photos at 2941 Restaurant. Agung is very friendly and brought great positive energy to all of our photo sessions. Before we signed the contract, he met us in person to discuss our exceptions and recommended the photo package that best suits us. At our engagement photo session, we had a lot of fun during the photo shoot, and we felt that Agung learned our "good angles" through the process. On our wedding day, Agung and his assistant showed up at the hotel (where the bride and bridesmaids were getting ready) before I (the bride) showed up! Before the ceremony, we discovered that my now husband's tux was missing a button, so Agung took one button from a groomsman's tux and sewed it on the groom's tux. He took beautiful photos for us and delivered the photos to us in about a week. We can't enough good things about Seize the Day Photography. We highly recommend him to all of you looking for a great photographer.

    Agung is absolutely the most amazing photographer, he goes above and beyond to ensure your wedding experience is absolutely perfect. He adds life to your event and his dedication is heart warming. So much more than a photographer, we keep Agung within our circle of friends for a lifetime. Thank you so much for the amazing pics, we have gotten nothing but positive reactions.

    I can't say enough great things about Agung and Seize the Day! We met with 5 or 6 different photographers and looked at way more websites. When we met Agung and he showed us his work and wedding albums, we were hooked. There was just something about his style that we connected with. He did our engagement photos and our wedding and we had so much fun with him! He was very responsive to all of our e-mails, and was very flexible with where we wanted our engagement photos taken. We were also going to have some photos outside before our wedding but the weather forecast was 100% rain, so when I asked for some suggested alternatives he took it upon himself to find some covered outdoor locations around the area instead of just staying in the hotel where our ceremony and reception were. When we got our engagement photos and wedding photos back (very quickly!) we were stunned at the quality. They were all absolutely gorgeous, better than we ever imagined. After sending the link to my family members there was nothing but positive feedback. A couple even said they were the best photos they'd ever seen. I know anyone who chooses Agung is putting their most important life moments in the best hands. If you want to have fun, laugh, and smile so much your cheeks hurt the next day (true story with our engagement photos) then Agung is the one!

    Agung Fauzi from Seize the Day Photography was the single greatest vendor at our wedding last October. Not only did he capture the best moments from our day, but he consistently went above and beyond by bringing so much positive energy and so many big smiles throughout all of our guests with his great personality. Amazingly, Agung also repeatedly made sure that we - the bride and groom - were as comfortable as possible; on multiple occasions ranging from a stain on the wedding dress to a broken bustle on the dress train, Agung was there to remove the stain or come up with his own knot to keep the dress together. All in all, our day simply would not have been the same without him, and we'll have our great wedding photos forever to remember it!

    We hired Agung to shoot our engagement session last September and fell in love with his work! We then hired him to photograph our traditional Lao ceremony shortly after and our Catholic ceremony this past November. His warmth, charisma and ability to capture the most beautiful images AND make me and my husband look like pros in front of the camera is priceless. He is not only an awesome photographer but a genuinely good person. Everyone that has seen our pictures raves about how wonderful the pictures are and not to mention the quick turn around time. We had our photos and slideshow sitting in our email inbox's the night we arrived back from our honeymoon!

    We cannot say enough good things about Agung and we are super grateful to have found him!

    We absolutely loved the pictures but more than that are hugely impressed with the way you completely captured the emotions of all of the events of the day. Your talents continue to amaze and impress us. Among the top comments we heard from all of our guests was "your photographer was spectacular" and we whole heartedly agree. You not only helped document the important day, you added to it with your energy, friendliness, and professionalism. Your obvious preparation for the day (e.g. knowledge of the names of our wedding party) was very much appreciated and admired. We have joked with our friends that we want to get married again just to have the opportunity to hang out with you again. You made it easy for us to recommend you highly to everyone - we hope to see you soon at the weddings of friends!

    You look at these reviews on weddingwire and see all 5 stars, you wonder, is this true? Is this guy THAT good? All I can say is definitely yes. My sister in law is the aunt to the beautiful bride in his display and she told me that this photographer just moved to Arlington from Texas. My husband and I looked at the website and thought she may be confused because the website had Arlington, TX, not VA where I'm located. Luckily enough, he moved from TX to VA. We met with him at a starbucks and just had so much fun talking to him. He is very warm and friendly and laughs A LOT. We met with some other photographers who did great work but lacked that whole relating to a person well. Agung was the epitome of what I wanted in a photographer all rolled into one. He was funny with a kind heart and a fierce eye for photography.

    Agung will also work with you. He's flexible but fair and reasonable in his price. He's right around the average price for a photographer in the DC area. I give him a 5 for value of cost because his turnaround time is incredible. We got married on 5/13 and I received my proofs and slideshow on 5/18 while I was STILL on my honeymoon. I came home to our CDs of photos, talk about amazing! He gave us amazing photos and was always reachable and quick to turn around. If you are going to spend an average amount of $ on photography in DC, you want to feel good about dropping that amount of money on a quick turnaround and great photos. Agung delivered.

    We met with him about 2 weeks before our wedding to give him paperwork of who everyone was in the wedding and wouldn't you know, he knew EVERYONE's name. Everyone. Talk about being a true professional. He may not be part of a large group of photographers, like some other big and well-known names in DC, but he is a shining star and growing so book him now!

    There is just so much about Agung that I could say, but I feel like I resemble the sentiments of most brides who use him. He is truly that great and I give him a resounding MUST HIRE.

    Thanks for everything, Agung. Wendy & Brendon Raymond
