Recipient of the 2011 ISES Gala Award for best team event,

Jack Hartzman has more than 2500 events to his credit.

“I have been so blessed to be able to do what I love to do since I was 16 years old. 

Many photographers think of our business as a high stress and pressure job, to me it is simply what I was meant to do and love every moment I’m allowed to do it. The majority of my clients come to me by referral from past clients, children of weddings that I photograph or from clients using the incredible musical talent from The Washington Talent Agency and want to be sure their photographer will know how to work well with the Band or DJ. Either way, I’m supported by an incredible production team, corral of photographers, a wife and kids that understand that there is absolutely nothing more important to me than giving you and your family the perfect Simcha day, evening or weekend.”

“What I’m most proud of ? The success stories I see and hear about from the photographers that I’ve trained and mentored for more than 2 decades. It seems like just yesterday that I was sitting in class learning from the late, great Monte Zucker and wondering if I would ever be good enough to teach others. Would I enjoy shooting event for the same family, but a new generation… the answer YES – I love it!”

“How can I offer so much at such a good price? Simple, I’m not a one-man-show. The Washington Talent Agency has such a great sales team and is so well known and trusted in the industry that I don’t have to spend tons of marketing dollars to find new business and clients. Finally I can provide a service and product for people I truly want to work with can afford. I work with the best talent on the east coast and why wouldn’t I love that? ONYX, GLYDE, FRESH, ANGEL, ICE, PRIME TIME and BLACK TIE to name a few. We work together during the week and come together for you on the weekend to make every event better than the one the week before.”

“Is Video dead? NO WAY! Videography or as many are calling it today – Cinematography is better and stronger than ever! The invention of cross-over DSLR’s (digital cameras that can shoot both HD Video and Hi-Resolution Photos) has brought the photo/video worlds closer than they’ve ever been before. More than 60% of the events I’ve been a part of in the past two years have been cinematic packages combining photography and video together.”

“The Future? From where I’m sitting, it’s never been brighter and I’ve personally never been more excited. My wife Monica is doing the best work of her career, my son David is following in my footsteps and the photo/video pool of talent we have at The Washington Talent Agency has NEVER been better!”

“My Dream? To bring my love and passion for photography and video to you and your family. Trust me, my kids are 17 and 20 – 13 comes and goes quickly, it’s the images we capture at Bar/Bat Mitzvahs that we hold onto forever! It would be my honor and pleasure to have the opportunity to meet with you and your kids to learn about your kids dream Bar or Bat Mitzvah.” 

In advance… Mazel Tov!
