Meet YOUR team
At Arazo Studios, we're more than just photographers and videographers, we're a team that genuinely loves celebrating with our couples. We've spent many years capturing hundreds of weddings all throughout Virginia, Maryland, Washington, DC, and destinations beyond, and we still get excited every time!
We all bring our own personality and vibes, but we all share the same style and mission: to help you feel comfortable, have an amazing time, and create beautiful memories you'll cherish for the rest of your life. Whether we're behind the camera, filming your vows, or editing every last photo and video, we're here to make your wedding experience as fun, stress-free, and unforgettable!
By the end of the day, our hope is that it feels less like you hired a photo and video team and more like you celebrated with a group of friends who just happened to have cameras in their hands :)

OUR AMAZING PhotographERS
Roman
Hey, I'm Roman! I've been photographing weddings for over 10 years, and it's been one big, fun, wild adventure. I'm here to celebrate with you, keep things relaxed, and bring out your very best in every photo. I love cats, and I'm married to Kate, one of our videographers, so if you're looking for an awesome husband-and-wife team, we've got you covered!
Drew
Hey, I'm Drew! I fell in love with weddings several years ago and haven't looked back since. I'm super chill, easygoing, and love getting to know each couple so you can feel comfortable and truly enjoy your day.
Fun fact: Braeden, one of our videographers, and I are a couple, so you can book us together too! 😚
Ahmed
Hey, I'm Ahmed! Artem says I'm one of the friendliest guys you'll ever meet but you can decide that for yourself 😄 I love matching each couple's energy and capturing the moments that feel the most genuine. When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll usually find me drifting cars at the race track. Fair warning, I may casually try to convince you that cars are the greatest hobby ever!
Farris
Hey, I'm Farris! I'm probably the sassiest photographer you'll ever meet 😉 I'm Moroccan, so naturally I'm bringing all the good vibes to your wedding day.
My favorite part is making everyone laugh, helping you feel comfortable, and capturing those real moments you'll never forget. My other favorite hobby? Getting on Artem's nerves ☺️
Sameen
Hey, I'm Sameen! I truly love being part of your wedding as it's such an important and memorable day in your lives. It's always a joy celebrating with each couple and capturing those memories you will look back on with a smile for years to come. When I'm not photographing weddings, I'm usually spending quality time with my husband and kids 🙂

Kate
Hey, I'm Kate! I have been filming weddings alongside my husband Roman for quite a while now, and we wouldn't change it for a thing! We absolutely love what we do, documenting love stories across the country, because there's nothing better than helping other couples relive one of the best days of their lives through custom films made only for them.
Oh... and if you have cats, you've already won me over 😻
Jaime
Hey, I'm Jaime! I'm originally from Colombia and I'm probably one of the chillest Latinos you will ever meet in your entire life 😄 I love paying attention to all the little details that make your wedding day unique and capturing everything in the best light possible so you will have something to remember it for many years. Weddings are truly my passion, seeing a couple celebrate their love and joy with friend and family is priceless and I can't wait to celebrate with you!

Christian
Hey, I'm Christian! I have been filming weddings for quite a while now, and I love that every single one still hits completely different. Every couple has their own story, their own characteristics and details, their own dynamic and their own love, which makes it always exciting to find those unique moments that make your wedding yours.
When I'm not filming weddings, I'm usually spending time with my loved wife and son 🙂
Braeden
Hey, I'm Braeden! I have been filming weddings for a hot minute, and I absolutely love capturing those genuine moments that make you laugh, cry, and smile every time you watch your film. Documenting your special day and giving you something to revive it for many years in the future is one of my favorite parts.
I'm also a self-proclaimed SpongeBob expert, so if you've got trivia questions, I'm your guy 😄
Artem
Hey, I'm Artem! I've been in the wedding world for what feels like forever, and I still love every bit of it. My favorite part is capturing your day in a way that lets you relive all the emotions years from now. When I'm not filming weddings, I'm usually bothering Farris or heading to the race track with Ahmed. My faith in Christ is one of the most important parts of my life, and it's something I strive to live out every day.
YOUR EDITING TEAM
Lena
Hey, I'm Lena! Believe it or not, I edit every single wedding film here at Arazo Studios. Yep... it's just me in all of the weddings you see in this website! 😄 I'm one of the few people in the world who genuinely loves editing, so I have a blast putting each story together. By the time I'm finished, I'll probably know your wedding better than you do because I've watched every moment hundreds of times! Tolya and I are also a couple, and we love working together behind the scenes!
Tolya
Howdy! I'm Tolya, and I edit every photo gallery here at Arazo. Just like Lena with the videos, it's the same editor every single time, which helps keep our editing style beautiful and consistent. I have a background in photography myself, so I know exactly what makes an image shine. I also help Lena with video editing from time to time. Around here we're known as another one of the Arazo power couples! Apparently we collect those 😄
"Arazo Studios was such a dream to work with"
Arazo Studios was such a dream to work with this past year. When searching for a photographer, we had a vision for our engagement photos inspired by our time living in Washington, DC, and knew we wanted the monuments as the backdrop for our shoot. (...) Once our wedding day came around, it was a no-brainer to book Arazo Studios again. As the wedding approached, we decided to add videography as well.
"They captured all the memorable moments of our special day"
Arazo Studios provided the photography and video for our wedding day. They paid special attention to the small details of my wife’s dress, my tuxedo, the reception set up, and everything in between. We loved how the album and videos came out. They captured all the memorable moments of our special day. Would definitely recommend!
"Something I will cherish even years from now"
Very impressed with how easy it was to communicate with Artem and the team - they were professional and I received my wedding photos and videos very quickly. I was amazed how beautifully they were able to capture my wedding day, it’s something I will cherish even years from now looking back on my special day! Thank you Arazostudios team for all the hard work!

They made our day so special with the photos and videos. Super professional and kind, very transparent and communicative throughout the whole process. Both my wife and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience I would recommend them every time!
"Highly recommend them"
They delivered beyond our expectations, making our wedding photography and videography experience incredible! The entire crew was a fantastic team to work with. They were professional, friendly, and fun, which made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process - which is great when one of us is shy about pictures. They were responsive to our needs, ensuring everything was just as we wanted. Their efficiency and willingness to accommodate made the entire experience even better! Their work was stunning, capturing our vision perfectly. Highly recommend them—1000%!

"Photos captured everything we wanted "
Choosing Arazo Studios for our wedding was the best decision we made! Throughout our entire wedding planning they were always available for questions and helped us create our timeline. During the wedding they were capturing all our special memories and made it so easy for us during all our family photos. They coordinated our first look perfectly even with the unexpected rain. We would recommend Arazo studios for any event! We received our photos within 2 weeks and they were AMAZING. The photos captured EVERYTHING we wanted and so much more! From getting ready, our first look, first kiss, cake cutting, and dancing, they captured everything!
"Worth every penny"
I was randomly searching on google for wedding photography and videography. Arazo popped up with really good reviews. I started looking at their content. The first thing that got my attention was their video editing. It was just amazing and I really wanted my wedding to come out this way. Fast forward, wedding is done and my videos and photos came out. Let me tell you that I was very impressed by the outcome of Arazo Studios. I don’t regret it at all. They are worth every penny. Great job and keep up the good work guys! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
"They truly went
above & beyond"
From the moment we met the team, their talent and professionalism were evident. Their positive energy and enthusiasm made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The photographs they captured were simply stunning, and they managed to immortalize the essence of our special day flawlessly. One of the standout features was their use of a drone, which added a unique and breathtaking perspective to our footage. We highly recommend Arazo Studios to anyone seeking top-notch wedding photography and video services; they truly went above and beyond to create lasting memories for us.
