Services
Ben has been photographing the Washington DC community for over 30 years. He and his team offer the highest level of customer service found in the photographic industry today. Our number one priority is to insure that the photography is first rate, your guests are pleased and your deadlines are met.
Ben provides professional headshot photography to individuals and corporations while offering competitive pricing and group rates. He knows your time is valuable and most people are uncomfortable in front of the camera. Over the years Ben has created a technique that allows his subjects to relax in front of the camera, and as a result, produce beautiful photos with natural expressions.
We facilitated a 3-day event with approximately 1,000 attendees for a federal government customer and hired Ben/DCEventPhoto to cover the photography. We were very happy with the whole engagement and his finished products. He did the front-end planning, coordinated on-site, and made sure he covered all the basis. He was great to work with.
Presidents, vice presidents, Supreme Court justices, congressional hearings, campaign rallies, fly-ins - DCEventPhoto has photographed all of them. We have the tact and finesse necessary to cover your high-profile event while putting subjects at ease. Whether your event is sensitive in nature, private or have other parameters, DCEventPhoto will unobtrusively capture all of the exclusive moments to ensure your VIP events run smoothly.

We hired Ben for some professional headshots and editorial photos of a conference. He was responsive, personable, reliable, and he produced excellent photos. We liked his work so much that we hired him for another round of headshots, which also turned out great.

I recently attended the wedding of Ben's daughter to my son. The pictures he took were amazing. I'm having a few printed to hang on my "family photo" wall. Thankful that he was there to capture such a treasured moments. Highly recommended for your next event!

My husband and I asked Ben if he could take headshots with a very quick turnaround. Ben got back to us immediately, and he came to our home the next day. Ben has a terrific eye and sense of space and a lot of patience. He took so many amazing photos that we had a hard time selecting the ones we liked best. We highly recommend Ben.

I needed a headshot for a podcast promotion campaign on very short notice. Ben came to my house within 24 hours of my call for help. He worked with me patiently testing out various settings and backgrounds. He came up with great ideas and took fabulous shots. We couldn't have been happier with everything Ben did from beginning to end. I have had many professional headshots during my career as an on-air TV Legal commentator, a Deloitte Principal, government official, and law firm senior counsel.

Of all of these, I think Ben's was by far the best. He has a way of capturing the true spirit of his subjects in ways other photographers have been unable. He's a very talented photographer who we absolutely will use again and will happily refer to our friends.

I've had the opportunity to work with Ben several times over the last 15 years. I have time and time again found that he is professional, responsive and very easy to work with. He is very considerate of everyone's time and goes out of his way to ensure that the subject is comfortable (especially important during Covid) and happy with the final product.

He turns around the images quickly and we were all thrilled with the results! I would highly recommend to anyone searching out a photographer that is talented and enjoyable to work with.

Ben was very kind and genuinely took interest in my work and family and made the photo session (for an alumni feature) very easy. I have some great head-shots for professional use- something I haven't had in years! He was very punctual and considerate of my time, as well.

I hired Ben to take a new LinkedIn photo. His price was incredible considering he came and took picture in my house. Overall I think it took less than 45 minutes (including his set) and he even produced my photos on the same day! I highly recommend you hire Ben for your next event or individual shots.

Ben at DCEVENTPHOTO has been my go-to photographer for many years. He has done head shots, on-the-spot event photos for group events, greenscreen photos with choice of background, group photos (from 5 to 60 people), and personal social and studio photography for me and my family. He is personable, flexible, and knowledgeable about his craft. And he always shows people in their best light.

Ben was absolutely great in providing some updated headshots for me. He also took some engagement photos for me, which he doesn't normally do, that came out great. His prices were very reasonable, and communication was great. I highly recommend using him for any event you have!

Working with Ben was a great experience. Ben arrived at my location on time and quickly set up his equipment. Ben has a great style about him and he easily put me at ease and was able to take some great shots as a result. Ben was very creative in utilizing areas within my home to take the perfect head-shots. I was able to review the various hots Ben took with him while he was at my home which made selecting the final shots that much easier. I would hire Ben again!

Highly recommended! We hired Ben to photograph our non-profit organization's annual meeting in D.C.: PR, Candid, and On-site Prints. His work is outstanding. I was very impressed with his candid shots; perfectly timed to capture the moment. Ben is punctual, communicative, and professional.

Ben is an excellent and very professional photographer. He took photos of our wedding reception in downtown D.C. in August 2017. I found Ben on Yelp and I'm glad I did! He took photos of all of the guests we requested, and provided us with digital images very quickly. Also, he is very responsive to email and was easy to get a hold of and work with. I would definitely recommend Ben for your next event.

I've been working with Ben Zweig from DC Event Photo for more than 20 years. While I' initially hired him for event photos at my conventions and meetings, he's also taken some amazing personal family portraits for me. He's a photographer who never gets rattled and adapts to the changing schedule and my specific needs. There are few photographers like him who can work in almost any lighting situation. He's just as good with my members as he is with celebrity speakers, members of Congress and other VIP's.

I wouldn't think of going to Capital HIll without him to take shots of every meeting. The photos he provides are beautifully color corrected, exposed and cropped for immediate use. Ben has the ability (and sensitivity) to disappear into the scene and still capture every incredible moment from a distance. That's a rare and much-appreciated part of what he does. I use Ben Zweig for all of my DC events.

Ben Zweig of DCEventPhoto was a great photographer to work with. I hand-picked him for our event based on a google search of event photographers in the DC area and choosing his photos over others. He captured everything asked for on our shot list, and exceeded expectations. My boss, who is very particular on the types of photos we use for promoting the conference, said that every time she found a good moment to capture on her cell phone, Ben was right there already taking the photo.

The photos were delivered post-conference in a timely manner and they are exactly what we had hoped for. If we return to DC for an event, we will be reaching out to DCEvent Photo. Thanks again, Ben!

Ben did a great job taking professional head shot photos at an event I attended. He had a relatively discrete set up that didn't feel too much like those old class photo days, for which I was grateful. He did nice touch ups on the head shots, too.
