“Amazing team!!
Tigran was just incredible to work with throughout the entire process! I have known Tigran from my Maid of Honor, who also hired Tigran's team for her wedding. I got to work with him as a bridesmaid then, and I loved how professional, yet personable he was! When I submitted my inquiries, he was so quick to respond and made sure to address all my questions based on his expertise. He was so good at incorporating natural light and surroundingbto create beautiful pictures that reflected our personalities. Here are some of the logistics that Tigran's team excelled in in case anyone is looking for: - Ourdoor ceremony with weather challenge. Our wedding day was beautiful but it was very windy. Tigran was so patient and good with the effect that wind actually brought in. - Traditional ceremony. We did a Korean tea ceremony (Paebaek) in Korean traditional attire after our American wedding ceremony (wedding dress and tux). Tigran was so good at capturing the joyful moments with such cultural competency, and I understand that he has done a lot of cultural weddings like ours. Most importantly, Tigran is such a fun, kind, and genuinly great person to work with, and we felt as if he came to celebrate our wedding as a good friend of ours - and he did become our good friend after all!”

“Tigran really understood our vision.
Working with Tigran was an amazing experience from our engagement shoot up until our wedding day. He was so easy to work with, responsive and really understood our vision. He found the perfect lighting and locations for each of our intimate and group shots and his energy and care was apparent every step of the way. Our wedding party and family really enjoyed working with him as well. We can't wait to see all of the beautiful photos he captured on our special day. We would highly recommend Tigran for all your wedding photography needs!”

“Tigran was a delight, and the photos are amazing!
Tigran might have been the best vendor we worked with among many! He was incredibly patient, skilled and energetic, ensuring he got the most out of us as a couple and the bridal party, family and guests. The photos came out amazing, as he had a great sense of lighting, spacing, the visual dynamics and the right energy for the best shots! On top of all of that, he comes in far more affordable than photographers that charge much more, while providing service and quality I’d argue can compete with those charging multiples higher. Incredible service, value and talent!”

“The best photographer.
We loved our photographer and know that he’s the best option! There’s no way you could get better photos or a more fun, energetic, and awesome photographer. He is constantly capturing the best photos. His love for his profession is truly evident during and after the wedding. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better photographer that made our photography dreams come true on our wedding day. Dave and I can’t thank him enough for his hard work and amazing memories captured by the photos. Thanks a million! Book him now- he’s well worth any price because you’ll look at the awesome photos he takes for years to come. My wedding day flew by- so it was nice to have someone dedicated to capturing the little things I may have missed on my wedding day. If you want to book the most talented photographer out there- book Daydream Romance.”

“Photographs capture the joyful mood of the event.
Tigran exceeded our expectations. The photographs were expressive and natural. He is charming and was extremely easy to work with. We discovered after the event that he was not feeling well the day of the wedding, but he never showed any sign of it -- he was utterly in command. We cannot say enough positive things about him.”

“Tigran was fantastic!
Tigran and Daydream Romance did an amazing job with our wedding photos. We didn’t have an engagement shoot so the total package was a VERY reasonable price and by far the lowest I could find in the dc area. However, that did not take away from how fantastic the whole experience was. Tigran clearly cares about his commitments: he went to check out my venue a few weeks early (since he had never been there before), has a template for you to complete to make the day of schedule go by without a hitch, gets right in the middle of all the action to get the best pictures, and then hand delivers an engraved box to you with his 30 favorite prints plus a USB that contains all of your photos from the day. In addition, he also puts all of your pictures on a website and you can share the link with whomever you like, free of charge. Tigran told me it typically takes about 3 months for him to complete the pictures, but I got mine in about 60 days and he gave me over 1200! Tigran was communicative throughout this whole process and I didn’t once get nervous about his dedication and professionalism for our big day. I can’t stop looking at them, they are all beautiful! I would highly recommend Tigran for your wedding or next big event”

“Fantastic!
Emily and I were very pleased and happy with our engagement photo shoot at Glenview Mansion. Having no experience being part of a photo opt, Tigran made it fun, and easy. He gave us lots of ideas and made us comfortable to be photographed. He was super excited, always engaged and a pleasure to have taking our Wedding pictures too. He followed us table to table and made sure we got all our wedding pictures at the church. Thank you Tigran for all your work and we wish you all the best in your future shots! Love, Chris and Emily.”

“What a treat to work with Tigran!
Tigran was incredible to work with. He was easy to schedule engagement shoots with and was extremely passionate about his work. He joined us for the walkthrough at the venue so he could scope out the best places to shoot all of our shots at the wedding. His energy was infectious as he was so excited to be there through all of our special moments on our big day.”

“Could not have been better.
When we were looking for a wedding photographer, we did not want to cheap out. But at the same time, we had booked a more expensive venue than we originally planned. I met Tigran before we hired him and I thought his personality clicked with us. We agreed on a price that was within our budget but included everything we would have wanted (engagement session, 8 hours of photography at our wedding including some of that with an assistant photographer, an online album with our photos, a personalized engraved box including some prints of our photos and a thumb drive with our photos)
I am really glad we had the engagement session before the wedding. We ended up doing that in DC during peak Cherry Blossoms. It was a chance to become more comfortable with Tigran and being photographed. When the wedding day came around, Tigran arrived not only on time, but slightly early. He traveled all the way to Warrenton for us. We had some issues with weather on our wedding day, and Tigran was happy to be flexible. We ended up deciding last minute to do a first look, we had to change locations and timing of a bunch of photos and he was great with that. He was also constantly looking for photo opportunities. He genuinely had fun photographing our wedding! Our bridal party and families loved him. We got married on May 11th and got our photos back three months later (August 10th). The wait was a bit long, but completely worth it in our opinion. He delivered nearly 1,500 high quality, edited photos. During the wait period, he regularly posted a few photos on his Instagram page (with our permission) so we could get a preview. We really enjoyed having those photos pop upon our feed. Overall, great experience. Will definitely recommend him to others. Thank you Tigran!”

“Tigran is magnificent.
Tigran is easily one of the most talented wedding photographers in the industry right now. He delivers a quality product that is on par with or better than other photographers who charge twice his rate. Tigran brought a boundless amount of energy, creativity and passion to our wedding and engagement shots. He was able to shoot my wife and I at flattering angles, come up with nice poses and capture magical moments.
Beyond that, Tigran is such a warm, friendly and accommodating person. He was able to crack up my wife and I with his quirkiness on several occasions. When spending time around Tigran, you really get the sense that he loves what he does and he’s just not in it for a paycheck.”

“Best Experience Ever!
We couldn’t be happier with our decision to go with Daydream Romance for both our engagement and wedding photos. Tigran was amazing throughout the entire process: he was super friendly, easy to work with, and extremely responsive. When we got our engagement photos taken, the original spot that we wanted to go to was too crowded, and Tigran immediately knew of a new place to go to. He got those pictures back to us in about 24 hours and they were stunning! Tigran did a great job of making us feel comfortable and it’s evident that he’s passionate about his work. During our wedding, he had so many great ideas for unique shots which panned out excellently. Barbora, who was the 2nd photographer on our wedding day, was equally amazing and easy to work with. The pictures from both the engagement shoot and wedding were incredible. We’ve had multiple friends and family ask us “who was your photographer?! Your pictures are amazing!”. When our wedding pictures were ready, Tigran met up with us at a coffee shop and gave us a gorgeous engraved box with printed pictures and a USB, in addition to all of the pictures. There were truly so many stunning pictures that we are having a hard time deciding which ones to display. Going with Calypso Digital for photography was hands down the best vendor decision that we made.”

“We did an engagement photoshoot with Tigran and it was wonderful!
The whole process was fun + easy. He picked the location for us and basically guided us on how to pose and etc. Tigran was very professional yet friendly. I so appreciate his work! Thank you Tigran.”
