Whysall Photography Reviews

Wedding Client Review Cass

I love what he does with lighting! As someone who also works events like weddings, I appreciated being able to talk with him about production concerns and his forethought in making everything as perfect as possible.

The most under-rated and perhaps brilliant photographer within the D.C. Metropolitan area. I simply cannot recommend a better or more talented individual for any of your photography needs. Whysall Photography is hands down, the best kept secret in Northern Virginia. Your pictures will turn out remarkable, trust me! ((:-”

Steve is absolutely fantastic. He will give you art. I honestly want to hang his pictures everywhere. I was completely surprised at how quickly he took pictures after the wedding. This guy knows what he is doing. His assistant Patrick is great as well. I wanted someone who wouldn’t just take still shots of everyone, and more candid, and he gave me exactly what I wanted. The moments he caught are magical.

Steve is AWESOME! He is edgy, creative, and far from your traditional photographer! He has an amazing eye and great vision! Great traditional pictures and breathtaking edgy pictures with flair, but still family appropriate. Such a true pleasure to work with! We would recommend him to all our friends and family! Best photographer EVER!!!!!

Simply put, we lucked out with Steve. Our wedding photos were more artistic, beautiful, and unique than we could have possibly hoped for. We have heard from so many family members, friends, and coworkers tell us that our photos are the best photos they have ever seen. At the risk of sounding narcissistic, we have to agree. So like I said, we really lucked out. Look no further. Steve is a true talent and is the best at what he does.

Steve was on our venue’s preferred list. After reviewing his website, he was the first photographer, with whom I made an appointment. After our meeting & impressed with his pictures, I hired him without coordinating with my fiancé or reviewing any other photographers. We’re so glad we did.

Steve has a terrific and calming personality for photographing large (or small) events where either emotions run high or conditions are not ideal. He is a problem solver, has a passion for every shot and possesses a fabulous photographic eye.

Our wedding took place at a farm/vineyard. The ceremony & cocktail hour were scheduled for outdoors and the reception was inside. However, mother nature decided to rain the morning of and weather reports differed as to when it would stop. Because of weather uncertainty, Steve arrived much earlier than scheduled, in order to set up his equipment in the barn if needed, and more importantly, to see how I, the bride, was handling a potential schedule change. With the soggy ground, and dark clouds above, he looked at me with assurance and said “we’re going to make this work.”

Steve knew we wanted to include our motorcycles in our photos but given the weather, it was uncertain whether outside would be possible. Using his skilled artistic, photographic eye, he found a spot in a equipment barn. It was a great area and the photos were fabulous!

While I could go on and on about how he recorded superb memories of our wedding, I will only say wonderful things about Steve and his photography. He is a consummate professional who puts heart and soul into every photo and is an extraordinary photographer that we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND anytime, anywhere.

Steve is an absolute genius & an exceptional artist who creates the greatest works of art through the eyes of a lens. His photography is unique, one of a kind and exquisite. We were so lucky that he captured our wedding. What an emotionally dedicated professional. This guy cares & the more you go with his creative edge the better off you’ll be. It’s ok to get your wedding dress a little ruffled ladies if you want Steve’s quality shots. Thank you Steve! You have made it possible for us to always remember the most incredible evening.

We absolutely loved working with Steve Whysall for both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding. Steve is open, honest and encourages couples to meet with him beforehand to see if it’s a good fit. Having a good relationship with your photographer is vital to getting the memories you want captured. Steve prefers to do more artistic photographs rather than your standard wedding posed pictures. If you want standard group shots makes sure to provide a list and remember what pictures you want- in the craziness of the day we forgot to get pictures with our entire immediate families- we have pictures with our parents, just not with them and our siblings. However, the couple portraits we have are amazing- be open to climbing onto trucks or walking through the woods barefoot! Have an open mind and let Steve’s artistry take over you won’t be disappointed. In terms of pricing he is comparable to other photographers, we really like that we have joint copyright and own all of our engagement and wedding photos. Def. take advantage of the engagement photo shoot- it gets you comfortable with Steve’s style and if you’ve never taken professional pictures before, it familiarizes you with how to take photos before the big day. We loved working with Steve and absolutely recommend working with him for your wedding or special occasion.
