Great experience working with Aaron!

Aaron was a great photographer to work with during our proposal and subsequent engagement photoshoot. He had intimate knowledge of Keswick (where we got engaged) which led to a seamless and fun experience! His attitude made us incredibly comfortable, which lead to gorgeous candid photos, as well as some natural-looking portraits / posed photos. He was easy to coordinate with and has continued to be responsive and helpful as we order framed photos from the shoot. If we were getting married in Charlottesville, we would 100% use Aaron for our wedding!!!

A wonderful Experience with Aaron Watson Photography

I can't thank Aaron Watson Photography enough for the exceptional service they provided for our wedding. From the early stages of planning, Aaron demonstrated unparalleled dedication. Without a wedding planner for the day, he took the initiative to create a comprehensive wedding day timeline, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was considered.

On the day of the wedding, both Aaron and his wife arrived promptly, showcasing an incredible synergy as a team. Their effective communication was evident throughout, contributing to the seamless flow of the day. One standout aspect was Aaron's commitment to getting to know each family member and member of the bridal party by name before the event. This personal touch not only demonstrated his attention to detail but also added a special element to his work.

During the church ceremony, Aaron's meticulous preparation shone through as we breezed through grouped family photos. Despite unforeseen challenges, such as groomsmen arriving late or family leaving early from the church, Aaron's ability to improvise was commendable. He navigated these situations gracefully, ensuring that every requested photo pairing was captured.

We also had the pleasure of choosing Aaron for our engagement photos, and once again, he delivered exceptional results. His post-session one-on-one meetings to review the photos showcased his commitment to client satisfaction and attention to individual preferences.

Beyond his professional skills, Aaron's fun and friendly demeanor created a comfortable atmosphere for everyone involved. It's evident that he enjoys his work and goes the extra mile to make clients feel at ease.

I cannot speak highly enough of Aaron Watson Photography. Their dedication, expertise, and personal touch exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any special occasion and look forward to the opportunity to work with them again for future life moments. They truly made our wedding day unforgettable.

Best Photographer ever

Aaron has been an absolute god sent. He not only is the best photographer but gives great advice for wedding planning. We didn’t even book him yet and he spent time with us on a call and worked with us as we figured out our budget. We did an engagement shoot with him and I am so glad we did! The pictures made us tear up but also we got to know him better so on the wedding day it wasn’t meeting a stranger. He truly knows his craft so well that the cost of his service is worth its weight in gold. After our wedding, all our guest commented on our photographer saying how great our photographer is. He is patient, funny and loving. He knew how to work with my 3 year old niece and even gave her a snack. We also had the pleasure of having his wife be our second photographer and she nailed it. They truly are a one of a kind team. If you are looking at so many photographers, stop your search now and book Aaron. You will not regret it!
