About Marakhtanov Photography

Marakhtanov Photography

Hi, I’m Roman, a wedding photographer with over 10 years of experience capturing love stories in Washington DC and beyond. I work with my wife Kate, an amazing videographer. Together, we ensure seamless collaboration for perfect photos and videos. Our services: - One-event-per-day policy - Additional hours - Extra photographer - Boudoir sessions - Engagement shoots - Digital files - Videos Let’s create magic together!

I love working with couples and have been photographing weddings for over 10 years. I always video call with couples before their big day so they feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. My focus is entirely on the couple, guiding them naturally—how to stand, where to place their hands, when to kiss, or even when to fix their hair—so they can simply enjoy the moment. I specialize in capturing raw, emotional moments, whether it’s bursts of laughter or tears of joy, to create timeless images you’ll treasure and want to revisit on every anniversary.

    I recently had the most memorable day of my life and I am extremely grateful to Roman and Kate who made my memories even more beautiful. Guys were just amazing - talented, creative and professional. Every time I look at the photos, I return to those moments of happiness and excitement that I experienced on this special day!! In addition, I also want to note his friendly and professional approach to the whole process. He was so attentive to our wishes and suggestions and worked with us to create the exact photos we wanted. He skillfully guided us and our guests to shoot in a way that was stress-free and everything went smoothly and naturally ;) If you have a friend who is preparing for a wedding, then I highly recommend Roman. I'm sure he can create the same magic again and again and capture all the important moments of this special day. Once you see his work, you'll understand why I admire guys so much :D He truly creates art from moments and I am eternally grateful to both of them for the memories they captured on our wedding!!!​

    Oh my goodness, I just received our wedding photos from Roman and Kate, and I am absolutely over the moon! Roman and Kate have this amazing ability to put everyone at ease, and it really shows in the photos. They managed to capture the essence of our relationships with our friends and family, and those shots are some of my absolute favorites. It's like they have this magical way of not just taking photos, but creating memories that will last a lifetime. Sending you both a virtual hug and a million thank you's! You are simply the best! With love and appreciation, Felicity&Justin

    Roman and Kate make an incredible duo as a husband and wife photography team. They truly excel in the art of photography. We were blown away by our wedding pictures - they were absolutely stunning. The attention to detail and the artistic touch they brought to each shot was truly impressive. Everyone who has seen our pictures has been thoroughly impressed with the quality and the care that Roman and Kate put into their work. We cannot recommend them enough
