As a small business owner, I dislike writing a bad review for a small businesses but felt that our experience may be helpful for others. We hired catch motion for our wedding in April 2025 in McLean, VA. I work with professional photographers every month for events for my business.

What they did well: They showed up on time, took lots of photos and videos, and stayed until the time we agreed on. CM also went above and beyond by providing us a full length video which was not in our contract. That was very nice of them.

Areas of improvement: The quality of the photos was very poor. There was little guidance and direction on different poses, angles, etc.

There are no portraits at the site of our wedding or in our beautiful backyard, despite the time we gave to their team around the property and the videos we sent in advance.

Our clothes and appearance was not adjusted up at all - we look sloppy in many shots. We were not prepped into how to approach our First Look. Most of our photos look very similar.

I believe we were also promised a short social media hype film - we have not received it yet.

The CM team kept telling my wife to stay calm and trust the process -- but now we wish we involved ourselves a lot more and made a very specific shot list (isn't this the professionals job?).

We entered this partnership with a lot of communication and trust, and now things are coming back with much lower quality than we expected, and with little attention to detail. Our photos and videos did not turn out like the stuff they put on their social media.

We were promised the highest level of service and even paid for extra time with their team.

Many of the photos of the two of us were in front of the house, foyer, and my getting ready shots were done in a dining room with no decor. Couldn't understand why they thought that's the best place for getting ready shots.

Corresponding with their team after the event was difficult. Turnaround times for small edits take a long time. I've learned that the supply of Indian wedding photographers in the area are low, so they are very busy. I would not hire them again, but if you are considering, I would ask to pay half up front and half after delivery of the work to align the incentives for a better turnaround of the photos and videos.

Very sad with our how our wedding photos turned out.

Update: CM reached out and offered us another photo shoot to ensure we have some photos that we're happy with. While we cant go back in time and reshoot our wedding day, they are trying to make things right moving forward.

We couldn't be happier with our wedding videos! Our main highlight video had us laughing, crying, and reliving every magical moment. Harjot and his team brought such good vibes and made us feel totally at ease. Can’t recommend them enough, Thank you Catch Motion Studio!

Had a great experience with Harjot and his team. Everyone was attentive and brought a lot of positive energy, even when the time went over. Pictures came out beautifully, really capturing the moments of our wedding. Also really enjoyed the editing and music choices for our videos. 10/10 recommend Thank you for everything!!

Harjot..where to begin! We recently got married and used Catch Motion for photography and videography. We originally had another vendor but switched to Catch Motion halfway through and it ended up being one of the best decisions we made. During the planning process, we had a few detailed conversations about the style we were looking for and Harjot exceeded all of our expectations! We still can’t believe our photos came out as beautiful as they did. Harjot is so passionate about his work--it was obvious throughout the entire weekend. Not only does he take his work seriously, but he also is so sweet and kind. He was very involved with our both of our families and made them feel comfortable and confident. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming to spend time doing photos/videos during such a busy weekend, but all we can say is trust the process because it is well worth it! We are truly blown away by the magic Harjot and his team created. I would recommend Catch Motion and Harjot to anyone getting married!

Catch Motion is the G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time). We hired them for wedding photography for our engagement back in December 2018 and then for all following events related to our wedding in December 2019 (Bridal Shower, Pre-Wedding Photos, Sangeet, Haldi/Vatna, Wedding, Reception).

My wife and I are not huge picture people but Catch Motion made our photography experience so much less stressful. All our photo sessions were a blast and they made our wedding day pictures a breeze! Harjot was also a saint for dealing with our crazy bridal party (6 bridesmaid and 6 groomsmen) for pictures.

I can't thank Catch Motion enough for helping us replay the best day of our lives. We will forever appreciate you!
