At The Observatory we are all documentary photographers and photojournalists — story-telling professionals — whose published credits include The Washington Post, The Washington Times and Newsweek among others.
We all know how to expertly position ourselves as observers to best capture the dynamic story of your day as it unfolds; getting ready, the anticipation, the big event, the after glow, the smallest details. We understand how to shoot for scope and scale from ceremonial tableaus to an intimate caress. And we do this in the most unobtrusive way possible. Our favorite compliment often comes when our clients, upon seeing their photographs, tells us they do not even recall us being there.
We look for those unexpected turns in the day that can trigger the most genuine emotions in motion. These are the once-in-a-life-time moments that are the sweetest to remember. When they are captured by The Observatory, it is documentary photography at its very best.
