Penny has been my go-to photographer at our annual America Honors Recovery Gala for 3 years now. Her professionalism, dedication and quality of work are the reasons I will continue to use her services in the future. I would recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful pictures and everlasting memories. Thanks Penny!

I’ve been working with Penny Nail Hoelting for over six years, and she continues to bring nothing but quality and professionalism to her work. Penny is our go-to person when it comes to our annual gala we produce each year in Washington, D.C. Our guests enjoy her photos and they are great promotional tools for the following years event.
Whether you’re looking for event photos, wedding photography, or commercial photography, I would highly recommend using Penny Nail Photography. Great lasting images that speak volumes!
I certainly knew of Penny Nail’s photography for some time, and was always impressed with her range of skills and genres. It seemed the perfect mix for documenting a friend’s gallery opening, where individual guests, the crowd, the art, and the architecture all needed to be shot in a sensitive and intimate manner. I was thrilled when Penny took on the job and was quite frankly overwhelmed by her final product. People and art were captured in evocative, natural vignettes; the artist’s joy and passion at his opening were captured with every shot. Penny gave the art and the audience a sense of dignity and a story. And she did so in an unobtrusive, charming, and professional manner. She brings sensitivity and skill to her work in the most wonderful way.

Penny did a wonderful set of B&W photos at my wedding. Great memories!

Being non-traditional & non-conforming individuals is who we are and that’s exactly the way we wanted our wedding to be. After 20 years together, we finally decided to make things legal and get married. Penny met with us, we explained what we were hoping for, and she delivered. In a very unobtrusive manner and with extreme ease, she gave us EXACTLY what we were hoping for and we couldn’t be happier. We had complete faith and trust in her skills and talent and you should too!

I can’t express enough gratitude for the wonderful photos you took. You perfectly captured the joy and emotions of our special day. Not only are you a unparalled talented photographer but also a wonderful person. Thank you again for the “gift” of making our wedding a lasting memory!

Penny has proved time and time again what a talented photographer she is. By capturing the essence of not just the event she is shooting but also attendees expressions in candid moments….. she captures the mood and transports you into the image so it seems as if you are there too, not just viewing the photos afterwards. If you were there, what she focuses on allows one to re-experience it all over again. We here at the CAGLCC will always call on her services.

I am a proud owner of one of Penny’s photographs. Her black and white picture of my partner is both simple and dramatic. She did an amazing job of capturing the mood of the moment and preserving it on film. Everyone who see’s it comments on what a great picture it is.

You “amaze friends, clients, and even (yourself)”! I am one of those friends totally in awe by what you see and can capture through the lens of a camera! Congratulations on the business and the website! I wish you all the success possible!

“My wife and I booked Penny to be the photographer for our beach wedding on a very windy day in Del Ray Beach, Florida. Having seen impressive samples of her previous work captured in a number of dynamic conditions, we were more than confident in her ability to tackle the setting. In less than optimal conditions (late afternoon shadows, wind) she delivered by capturing the ceremony, dinner and all festivities from every angle, working through many unforeseen surprises, and with a professionalism that has earned my recommendation for years to come. Because of Penny we have a collection of beautiful memories our entire family can cherish – and envy forever.”

Future Point of View
“Penny Nail was the photographer at our wedding. We could not have chosen a more perfect person to document our special event. Penny told us of her style beforehand, saying “I tend to have a journalistic style”. We did not realize how complete her view of our wedding was until we saw the pictures. Everything was captured from the sign in front of our venue, the glasses on the bar, the food from our caterer, the desserts, our friends and of course every detail of our ceremony. Penny’s photo’s have every part of our special day and will give us warm memories for years to come.”
