Over the past decade, I have been witness to so many amazing happenings. My goal as a photographer is to document and capture every moment of your day with creativity and true craftsmanship. I am a passionate photographer and believe that every creative individual has a style they must be true to. My work is considered documentary in style because photography for me tells a story. All stories are meant to be told and I look forward to helping tell yours.
Edward was a real pleasure to work with for our holiday pictures. My husband and I felt like we were hanging out with an old friend! The photo shoot itself was enjoyable and so natural. Edward chose a great location and it worked well for our two year old daughter who loves to run around. She definitely enjoyed the camera's attention and we ended up with incredible pictures of her. We used Edward's pictures for our holiday card and the compliments we received were endless. We are so happy we were referred to Edward and we look forward to working with him again for important family milestones and holidays!
We chose Edward Underwood as our wedding photographer because he KNOWS D.C. weddings. Our wedding took place in a unique venue on busy 14th street so it was important to us that our photographer knew how to shoot in D.C., understood what parts of the city worked well in photos and overall could capture the part of D.C. that meant so much to us. Edward had his wife as the second shooter and she was fantastic as well. All of our photos look so unique compared to other wedding photos because he takes the time to see things and capture them a photo-journalistic style. We were so pleased with the way the our wedding pictures came out. Even after 2 years, I am constantly looking at how beautiful that day was! The day goes by fast, having a quality photographer at your wedding is priceless!
I met Edward and Shawna at my best friends wedding; and once I saw their work the way they captured all the special and most intimate moments that the naked eye can miss, I knew an ocean could not keep us apart. Once I got engaged I told my then fiancé we had to use Edward and so we did.
The shots taken were amazing, editing superb and most importantly their service was both impeccable and outstanding. Edward entered this arrangement with us as a service provider, but by the end of the day he and Shawna were considered family. So much so that I have asked him to look into shooting my sisters wedding in the UK next year!
My husband and I are pretty camera-shy, so it was really important to us to find a wedding photographer who made us feel comfortable having our picture taken. From our first meeting, Edward's fun, calming personality put us at ease almost immediately. He asked us all the right questions about how we met, our vision for the wedding day, and comfort-level with having photos taken, and through that conversation we learned a lot about him as well, which made us feel even more relaxed during our first shoot. We were so pleased with our engagement pictures, and beyond thrilled with the photography and overall experience during our wedding day. Edward and Shawna make such a great team, and several of our wedding guests and bridal party members commented on their warmth and professionalism. We've received so many compliments on our engagement and wedding photos, and still have trouble choosing a favorite given all the great options! We could not have been happier with our choice in a photography team around such an important life event, and now consider them our family photographers for future professional and personal milestones.
We found Edward back in 2012 when we were planning our wedding. We could not have asked for a more creative, flexible and fun photographer to work with. He captured our day perfectly. He not only puts you at ease to be photographed, but he and his team make you feel like you are hanging out with an old friend. We have kept in touch over the past 6 years and Edward has now done newborn photographs and maternity photos for our family. We loved having him on our special day but also love that he is still in our lives!
My wife and I enjoyed the pleasure of having Underwood Photography serve as our photographers for our wedding. Edward and Shawna did an amazing job in capturing one of the most important days of our lives. We knew that we were in for a great experience from the moment we started our engagement shoot. Edward traveled all the way down to Hampton, VA to shoot us where we first met. The photos that he set up for us showed us that he really put a lot of thought into helping of tell the story of our love for each other. On our wedding day, Edward and Shawna masterfully captured the energy, joy and excitement of the day from start to finish. They found creative ways to capture the emotion leading up to our ceremony and the intimacy of the ceremony itself. What we enjoyed the most were the many candid photos of our family and friends during the reception, that serve as a constant reminder our how truly amazing our day was. Ed and Shawna are consummate professionals that bring an enthusiasm and creativity to their photography that distinguishes their work.
