Nandor did an amazing job photographing my husband's 50th birthdayparty. He got all the photos to us - very well organized - within two days. Highly recommend. I would use him again.

Mark was the perfect photographer for my birthdayparty. Profesional, timely, friendly, and the pictures were super high quality. I love his work and look forward to hiring him again!!!

I hired Tyler for my 30th birthday cocktail party and he was great! It was an all-black themed party and he blended in with crowd by following the dress code which I appreciated. He was very personable and engaged with guests while capturing fun and candid photos. He came very prepared with all his photography equipment and the photos were very expressive! I have already recommended Tyler to 2 of my friends for their upcoming events. I will definitely be hiring him in the future.

I booked 95 Images (Mr. Ronnie Nettles) to photograph my mother's 80th birthdayparty and I could not be more pleased. He is an outstanding professional who arrived early to scout the shot and then worked diligently throughout the party to capture the gestalt of the event.
There were over 50 guests at the party and they ranged in age from 2 to 80+ and included private sector executives along with current and retired government officials, and Ronnie was able to make all of them feel comfortable about being photographed - he was particularly good with the children and the retirees.
I would certainly retain the services of 95 Images again, and would recommend this great photographer to my friends and family.

As an event planner who was having a hard time nailing a photographer for a birthdayparty, I could not have been more happy to come across Chris’ thumbtack profile! Chris was extremely responsive, punctual, and provided a quality end product that I know the client will be thrilled with. Thank you, Chris!

Had a great experience working with Darren on photos for my husband’s surprise birthdayparty. Darren was very responsive and took time to make sure he knew what I was looking for. He arrived early to the event and stayed late to capture key reactions to the surprise and candids of guests throughout the evening. Very quick turnaround on photos, received them less than 48hrs later. Will keep him in mind for future events!

We were not happy with the outcome of the photos. I hosted an elegant and very expensive birthday dinner party with 40-50 guests. And yet, we were not able to post the pictures on our social media as we found the following issues:
• the photos look unedited
• Poor lighting
• Misaligned photos
• Flashes in the background
• shadows in the background
We communicated to this vendor that we wanted the background of the lobby, the bookcase, ceiling fixtures, the floor-to-ceiling luxurious white curtains with the birthday person in the forefront. This was not provided. We also wanted the vendor to capture the "surprise", the aesthetic, the full backdrop, which was provided but not at all presentable. We booked this service to capture a very beautiful moment in our lives and this vendor failed to do so. I would not recommend this vendor for elegant events, as additional training is needed.

I was hesitant about using Ben to capture photos for my 40th Birthday, his portfolio looked more suited for models & showcases, with some openings thrown in. I took a chance, and was happy with the majority of the photos. Despite giving a shot list, some photos were missed (mainly with guests & not taking a pictures of the same table setting....would have loved to seen my place setting name snapped in a professional photo) and this being my first time, some direction and guidance would have been appreciated. In addition, he stated photos would be ready in a week, and then said he had a wedding prior to me, and it would be another week., and then he said he lost some photos, but then found them (that would have changed this rating). Communication is key, but I should have gotten that information upfront vs after the event. For something easy and simple, I would use again, and I did refer him to a friend for her 40th birthdayparty. The access to completed photos has been a breeze.

I have nothing but great things to say about Mark. I hired him to photograph my boyfriend's surprise birthdayparty. He was not responsive, professional, and on-time. I have very high standards and have been in the PR/Special Events field for almost a decade. Mark exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him, and will gladly re-hire him for future projects.

A friend and I hired Tyler for a joint 25th birthdayparty on boat chartered on the Potomac. From the beginning, he wanted to understand what we were looking for, if there was anything in particular we wanted captured, etc. He showed up to the event well before we started (actually beating both of the hosts to the waterfront) and was easy going throughout the party. Tons of great shots, lots of which our friends are thrilled to have.
Afterwards, he turned them all around and sent back ~500 by Monday morning (after our party went until about 11:30 Saturday night). He was then great about touching up and reorganizing the photos based on our review. Was great to work with.
