What people are saying

"Jerry Tsao captured our wedding beautifully! We had some challenging restrictions with one of our venues and Jerry used a special lens to make sure we got the best shots. The DC market is saturated with talented photographers, but District Cooper's creativity and customer service sets him apart. I want to get married all over again and invite Jerry as a guest!"

Surpassed all my expectations and delivered gorgeous shots!”

Eric
"I have tried other photographers before and District Cooper hit the mark. I cannot think of one thing that I would change. Jerry was super nice, easy going, and flexible with what my ideas were. This also made it a lot of fun because taking photos didn’t feel stiff—the photos themselves look candid, natural, and fun, which is exactly how the session went. He also has an eye for design, so the aesthetics of the photos turned out beautifully. I had him shoot a broad range of photos. The turnaround was also fast. I definitely give a high recommendation and will continue to send people his way."

Brittany
"Our team was urgently looking for a photographer who could come in with a 2-days notice and it took only a couple of hours to finalize the contract with Jerry. He was so pleasant to work with - communicative, accommodating, and very intentional with his work."

Mia
“My fiancé, puppy, and I did a very fun and colorful photoshoot with Jerry this spring in Blagden Alley. Since we’re not used to being photographed, we started out awkward, but it only took us a couple of minutes to feel totally comfortable with Jerry. He is calming and professional, and we ended up with the most amazing pictures- just as (if not more) exquisite as our formal engagement photos! We already have a few framed in our apartment. We highly recommend Jerry and look forward to working with him more in the future.”

Brooke
“Jerry did an amazing job photographing our dog park event. He was super creative with the shots and took both portrait and candid photos which was awesome. The pictures came out incredible and he was so patient and easy to work with! 10/10 would recommend District Cooper for any photography needs you have in the DC area - you will not be disappointed!”

Alycia
“It was such a pleasure to work with Jerry. He was professional every step of the way, from communicating about the session to sending us the link to view the photos. And, I think he sent us the pictures ahead of schedule. The session itself was fantastic. What I loved the most was that Jerry did such a great job at capturing us with the landscape. We look forward to working with Jerry again!”

Sharon
“My husband Sean and I fell in love in Washington, DC and got married at the Carnegie Institution for Science nearly five years ago. It was so special to work with Jerry who captured beautiful and timeless photos of us at our wedding venue. Thank you so much, Jerry!”

Lauren
"Shooting with Jerry was such a wonderful experience. It was my first time being in front of the camera and in addition to not being sure what to expect I wasn't overly comfortable. Jerry quickly changed that with his patient nature. By the end of our time neither of us was ready for the shoot to end; we were having so much FUN! I would highly recommend Jerry not just for his patience but also his professionalism and delivery. I not only LOVED the photos but they came back so quickly! I look forward to shooting again.”

Helen
"I always believe it's important to be comfortable with a photographer in order to get the best shots - and I definitely got that with Jerry. His turn around time with the pictures and prompt communication made this a 10/10 experience for me. Will definitely be recommending District Cooper to all my friends and family, and I hope to work with him again in the future!”
