    Amazing photography!

    Jack Hartzman was our wedding photographer and captured the day so beautifully! He directed everyone so well in the group photos and was so wonderful to work with! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

    Beautiful photos!!

    Jack and his team took the most beautiful engagement and wedding photos! We used WTA for our band, Photo Booth, photography, videography, and up lighting, and we could not have been more thrilled. We will treasure our photos and video forever, and the albums they put together for us are truly stunning! We loved the sheer quantity of photos we had to choose from (over 1,500) and we are so happy to display them for many years to come! We were also so pleased with how quickly our photos made their way to us (only a day or two for the sneak peaks and just a few weeks for all of the other photos). Considering how important the photography was for my wedding day experience, I’m so glad I went Washington Talent Photography!

    Alison is magic!

    Alison Tremblay did the photography for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah in January 2020 and she is super talented! She did a casual pre-event shoot with my daughter and put her at ease to create beautiful photos in a variety of settings. The lighting was incredible. At the synagogue shoot she made sure to capture my husband's parents and my parents with our kids and was able to include fun photos (in a synagogue! can you believe it?!). Her photos of the party were incredible. I sent them to our family and they had tremendous compliments. The party was at ZavaZone -- an unusual and difficult venue -- yet Alison and the second photographer were able to get all the action going on all over the park. They captured a great mix of guests, family and moments during the night. My only regret is that she is not available for my next child's Mitzvah in October 2021, but she will be the first vendor I contact when I receive the date for my third child's Mitzvah in 2023! Her photos were so awesome that we used them for our 2021 new year's cards.

    Amazing photographer!

    I have 4 married children and we used Jack Hartzman Photography for all 4 weddings. Our venues were Lansdowne, Ritz in DC, The Homestead and a COVID wedding in Fells Point. Jack and is team are familiar with all the surrounding venues and know how to navigate the properties to create the most beautiful photos. Our immediate and extended family is quite large but Jack had no problem coordinating and directing them. He manages and directs in a friendly, easy-going manner. Issues always arise on the wedding day...weather turns bad, timeline doesn’t work out, uncooperative flower girl...Jack always has Plan B up his sleeve and executes it without any stress to the Bride. My son and his fiancé decided to have a last minute COVID wedding in May 2020 after postponing their wedding twice. We called Jack hoping he and his team could help us with photography. Jack rearranged his schedule to be there for us! We gave him zero direction because we hadn’t planned anything. He found three beautiful areas to photograph the bride and groom and was so patient with our disorganization. Lastly, Jack’s work is spectacular. He has the ability to capture the love, emotion, silliness between the bride and groom. We have 4 gorgeous photo albums to cherish forever! And by the way, we have used WTA bands and videographers for all of our weddings too! All amazing!!!

    Amazing people and service

    We worked with Jack and David. They were the absolute best! They made all the pictures so easy for us and made our wedding that much better. All of our family loved them so much and the pictures were top quality. Thanks so much for being like family and being a part of our big day!

    Jack Hartzman and team were spectacular

    We decided on Christmas to move forward with an outdoor micro-wedding on January 2 - a gamble that paid off, in no small part because we asked Jack Hartzman to organize our Zoom show and still photography. Jack is a consummate photographer and a great producer/director, he and his team (including Shmulik Almany) took cocntrol, guided us through every step without ever intruding, and made the whole process wonderful fun. When we look at the hundreds of terrific pictures and fabulous video they produced, we always say how lucky we were to find our way to Jack and his entourage. We couldn't recommend them more highly.

    Washington Talent Photography's reply:

    Such a great and wonderful delight to meet and get to know you both, not to mention pulling off your wedding - ZOOM Coverage and all in less than 1 week! AMAZING.
    Love to you both, thanks for the great review.

    Professionalism at its finest

    Jack Hartzman and his team- Ricardo, Monica, Jeff- you all are superb. We crossed paths on very short notice to our wedding date. Right off the get go, Jack listened to what we wanted (photographer, videographer and zoom virtual streaming our wedding) and immediately came up with a game plan. He delegated responsibilities and 4 days later we got married, with his truly wonderful team of talent and helped us capture everything about our special evening. We recommend WTP 1000%.

    Washington Talent Photography's reply:

    So glad everything worked out! You and JT pulled off a GREAT event at Aix La Chapelle i nVERY SHORT ORDER and we're just happy to have been a part of the experience.

    The perfect day made possible by Jack and his team!

    Jack and his team helped make our wedding perfect!

    From his flexibility in scheduling our engagement photos to his guidance and coordination of our photos on our wedding day to making us and all of our guests laugh and feel comfortable throughout the day, our experience with Jack was fantastic! Planning a wedding in the midst of the pandemic was challenging, but Jack and his team worked with us in making the day safe and fun. We are so incredibly happy we entrusted them with capturing our wedding.

    The photos taken during our engagement session and throughout our wedding day are outstanding! Jack communicated with us well before and leading up to our wedding to discuss our vision and he executed it to a tee.

    I will forever recommend Jack and his team to anyone looking for photography services. His dedication, positive demeanor, and artistry are unparalleled.

    Thank you so much for perfectly capturing the best day of our lives! We will treasure our photos and overall photography experience forever.

    Washington Talent Photography's reply:

    Happy New Year and thank you for your kind words Samantha.
    You and Ruben were a true pleasure to work with. Please let us know when it's time for family portraits :-).

    Jack Hartzman is Amazing!!!!!

    I can't say enough good things about working with Jack Hartzman. He is the best and his pictures are better than perfect! He did our engagement shoot, wedding and maternity shoot. He is upbeat, fun, responsive and his prices are very competitive. I highly recommend him for your next big event!

    Alison Tremblay was an absolutely incredible photographer and such a pleasure to work with. She captured all aspects of Dylan's Bat Mitzvah from beautiful family portraits, gorgeous pictures of the service and incredible action shots that completely showed just how much fun we all had at that crazy party. We will cherish these pictures always. Beautiful memories of a very special weekend. We can't thank you enough Alison and can't wait to use you for our next event! I would give you a million stars and more!!

    We had a wonderful experience working with Alison Tremblay at our son’s bar mitzvah. Alison was flexible, good humored and patient with our large family and non-traditional party. The photos from the sanctuary and the celebration really captured the spirit of the events and she made sure that all of the key people were included. By the next day, Alison had sent us a few of her favorite shots that we were immediately able to share. Within a very short period of time, we had our proof book - and now it is in our court to select the final pictures for the book. We couldn’t have asked for anything more from Alison! She was terrific!

    Allison is a master- she is professional, skilled, prompt, classy, and cool. Really love the photos- she works well with all ages and has sense of timing when taking photos. Worked around our schedule and is available for consultation as needed. Photos turned out great. We used her for our first daughter's bat mitzvah and were satisfied enough to re-hire her for the second bat mitvah a year later. She is well worth it -

    Dwayne was awesome to work with. I talked to him on the phone and emailed with him. He wanted to make sure he was there when I started getting ready, that all my questions were answered, and that I got exactly what I wanted. My husband hates taking pictures but Dwayne was so interactive and fun that he didn't mind. The return time on the photos was also very quick. We received our pictures in 2 1/2 weeks. I know couples that did not receive their wedding pictures for months.

    Alison Tremblay from Washington Talent Agency was the photographer for our son's bar mitzvah. She is exceptional - in her talents and personality. From the moment we hired her until the album was complete, she provided outstanding service. She answered all of our questions, was patient, warm and friendly, and a fantastic photographer with an eye for detail. She has a unique combination of personal and professional strengths and creativity, which make her stand out in a crowd. I highly recommend her. The final product - the keepsake album is something that we'll treasure forever. Alison captured the special expressions and moments that will keep our memories going strong.

    Monica Vidal was wonderful to work with! Not only did she keep my children engaged during the family portrait sessions, they actually enjoyed it! The quality of her photos surpassed my expectations! Monica is all smiles and has a very calming effect during what can be a stressful planning time. She is very responsive by phone and email and is on top of all the details. Monica is one of a kind and I will use her for all my future events!

    Alison Tremblay is wonderful to work with and is an extremely talented photographer! She photographed our daughter's bat mitzvah on Sat., Aug. 29th. She sent us a sneak peek of the best photos the next day and today - a mere 11 days later - she sent us a link to all of the photos she took. They are all BEAUTIFUL! Alison captured all of the important moments at the party and all of the family portraits she took - from the session at the Temple that morning to the photos she took before the party - are perfect. Alison is extremely efficient too, getting all of the family shots we requested very quickly, leaving time for shots she thinks would be nice or that our family members wanted. Alison's artistic ability shows in her expert use of lighting and she has great vision regarding poses and locations that make beautiful backgrounds. I can't recommend Alison more highly!

    Expected:

    Pictures in the wedding books are in focus. Color is as good or better than real life. Video and sound were mixed to taste. Not just my taste but a broad range of tastes. Something for everyone. From Giddy to Grumpy and Grammy to Grungy.

    Every typical and wanted photo appeared, capturing the crucial moments any acclaimed professional would produce.

    Unexpected:

    Better than every other event photographer and team I have seen, and I have seen many, Jack and his team evoked the context and, especially, the “vibe” of the wedding and its celebrating participants.

    Nice Surprise,

    A highlight was the clever, but not overdone or jarring, setups and candids that pulled the viewer back to caress shot-after-shot, not lingering once, not twice but lingering three or more times, finding a hidden gem in each setting.

    The final prints are not flip cards to fan-through in a few seconds. They are works of art to be cherished and commented-upon and and then widely shared.

    Rating:

    Because the total package clearly pleases every category of viewer, Jack and the team get Six stars out of Five.

    Washington Talent & Jack Hartzman

    My wife and I have worked with Washington Talent and Jack Hartzman with all 4 of my children's wedding. We used 4 separate Washington Talent bands, all great, but always demanded Jack as our photographer. He has been the stabilizing force and a build-in wedding coordinator amongst the Washington Talent team. Jack's experience with large group gatherings and getting the photography and videography organized and executed is an art form, and we had 4 great experiences. I forgot to mention, that Jack and his team are awesome photographers and never missed a key moment. These events can be stressful, and Jack always went out of his way to make us comfortable by covering all the bases. He was able to capture the flavor of each affair without fail. Anyone looking for a great photographer and a good wedding partner must consider Jack Hartzman and Washington Talent.

    Washington Talent Photography's reply:

    Dear Jon and Shawn,
    Working with your family over the years has truly been one of the top highlights of my career, ALL four kids!
    From Jackie in 2012 to Lindsey in 2014, Julsey in Sept. 2019 and Jamie this past May, 2020 - COVID and ALL.
    WOW, What a ride! SO MUCH FUN!!
    Love to the kids and their new little ones. Please remind them, FREE Family Portraits until they are 10!

    I highly recommend Jack and Washington Talent for photography and videography! Jack and his team did such a wonderful job with our engagement photos and our wedding. The "getting ready" and ceremony shots were absolutely gorgeous and Jack easily orchestrated the bridal party and large family photos to capture creative and authentic pictures. During the reception, Jack surprised my husband and I with a slideshow and DVD of all the pictures from the day up until that point. It brought tears to our eyes and was so special! From start to finish, the photographers were completely non-intrusive, fun-loving, and great to work with!

    We have used Washington Talent Agency for both of our daughters' weddings. Hiring a band, photographer and videographer all from the same agency made our experience easy and seamless. After a perfect experience with our first wedding in 2012, there was no doubt we were going to use Washington Talent again. Jack Hartzman is an amazing photographer. He has the special ability to effortlessly organize large groups of people into fun and interesting poses. He is funny, sensitive and takes the time to learn the personalities of the bride and groom. Both Jack and the videography team work so professionally that we didn't even realize they were there. We now have beautiful albums and wedding DVDs to cherish forever.

    Washington Photo / Jack Hartzman Photography is amazing! When we lived in Maryland Jack shot mine and 2 of my siblings Bat-Mitzvah's over 17 + years ago.. when it came time for each of us to get married- there was no doubt on who to call. Jack, Monica, and Dave flew to Aruba to shoot one of my sister's weddings - the work was AMAZING! Beach photos, wedding photos, pre-wedding dinners.. it goes on and on!

    Both my other sister and I married in Florida and of course the Washington Photo team was there! Our photo montage that Jack put together for our rehearsal dinner was incredible- and our wedding video and photos simply capture the talent that make's up Washington Talent. Thank you all for capturing some of the most important memories in our lives.
