    Incredible photos!

    Highly recommend this company. They were a preferred vendor with our Wedgewood Weddings venue. Our photographer was Carl. He did an amazing job. We got all of our wedding photos back in only 4 weeks! That feels unheard of in the wedding industry. Carl did fantastic work and was so easy to work with. He did a great combination of family formals, candids, and more artsy photos. We love that we have so many pictures and a huge variety. Emailing the company was also a breeze. They were very professional and responded quickly. Highly recommend!

    Just Perfect!

    A Perfect Impression was connected to our venue package and wow I could not be happier. We had 1 photographer for a 5 hour wedding and it was perfect! Carl was so fun and easy to work with. He directed us and was kind and professional. He took lots of candid photos too which I loved and they looked great! He was familiar with the wedding location which was really helpful and made the experience fun and easy.

    Super happy with API

    API photographed my wedding in Spring 2023. They were beyond my expectations. Thomas went above and beyond to capture amazing shots. He helped pose us when we needed and was super patient throughout the day. He had such great energy that helped us feel so comfortable and like we were in good hands. He had great tips for our wedding party as well to help make sure we get good pictures. They turned all our imagery around super quickly, within 2 weeks of the wedding, which I was not expecting. Thomas even sent us some photos on the day so I had some pictures instantly to look at as I tried to fall asleep with my mind racing at the end of the night. Super happy having gone with API :)

    A Perfect Impression's reply:

    Super kind of you to give us your reviews! Thank you again for trusting us! Let us know if you need anything else?

    We love API!!

    We used API for both photo & video for our wedding -- I'm so glad we did! We had a young team (Hayden, Carl & I'm so sorry I don't remember the names of our videographers) & they were ON POINT. They were all friendly & professional, helping guide us through all of the requested shots & to be honest, the whole evening (along with venue staff, of course). We loved how all our photos & videos turned out -- we'll cherish them forever thanks to API!

    Amazing experience!

    Thank you Danielle, Briana, Luke, and Michael for your amazing photography and videography for our wedding at our San Ramon wedding. I don't consider myself as very photogenic or knowledgeable about posing, but the friendly team made it all super easy and more relaxed for us. The pictures and videos were amazing and I would 100% recommend API. The 5-star rating speaks for itself but here's further confirmation that it's very well deserved!

    Absolutely excellent

    Our photographer Thomas was amazing. Absolutely professional and skilled. We had a late afternoon wedding in late fall and we suffered a few delays that resulted in us fighting the setting sun at portrait time. Thomas’ speed, specialty equipment, and knowledge of that equipment kept our portraits looking beautiful. You wouldn’t know it looking at them that they were photographed at dusk thanks to his skill.

    We love Aaron!

    We hired API to do our engagement photos and Aaron was our photographer. He did such an amazing job we had to hire him for our wedding as well. He showed up early for bridal prep photos and was extremely patient with me and all 7 bridesmaids who took too long to get ready, as well as my 7 year old and 5 month old daughters who were my flower girls. He was great at guiding us to get just the right angles and shots. He was again very patient with our huge and loud family for all the formal photos and set up our first look exactly as I imagined. He had a second photographer who I unfortunately cannot remember the name of but he was great as well. Did very good also at guiding us gently and capturing some great shots. Though I haven’t seen the pictures yet I am so confident with API to give them 5 stars because I know the pictures will come out amazing.
    We are so pleased in fact that my husband and I even said we have found our lifelong photographer. We will be contacting him again soon for some more family photos

    API is the Best!

    I had no idea what a huge role my photographer would play in my wedding day, and I'm so glad I had A Perfect Impression in my corner during this time. API is beyond incredible. From the beginning all the way to the end, API has been kind, approachable, and professional. When I first signed my contract to use API as my wedding photographer, I worked with Shana and Vanessa. Both were patient as I worked through with package I wanted (I recommend their Rome package), and they were quick to fix the couple of mistakes on my contract to ensure it was error-free. Then, I was given a questionnaire in regards to all of the photos I wanted. I was pretty specific with what I wanted, and Shana and Vanessa, as always, kindly responded with, "No problem!" Sure enough, my photographers captured all of the moments I looked forward to the most. Upon the day of the wedding, I was feeling incredibly stressed out (of course), and I had it in my mind that there was NO WAY we'd have enough time for photos. I asked Vanessa to please call me, and she promptly did. She ensured me that everything would be fine, and that there would be PLENTY of time for photos. Once again, she was right. :) Will and Katie, my two photographers day of (which, by the way, I highly recommend two photographers. I have SO many more photos because of it!!), were so amazing. They were patient, which was important to me, as I have elderly grandparents that cannot move quickly for photos. They were also patient with my wedding party in general; our wedding party, especially my now-husband's groomsmen, were quite the... rowdy... bunch. Will and Katie did not seem to mind. They remained professional and completed the job. Will and Katie worked through the whole night, snapping photos of the best day of our life, without complaint. After the wedding, API kept me updated as to when I would receive my photos and even sent me a few photos to hold me over. This company has been incredible to work with, and most importantly, my photos came out GORGEOUS. I spent HOURS sifting through the 1,000+ shots sent to me. I even asked for two photos to be edited without a filter, and once again, without complaint, the photos were sent to me a few days later. It is without any sort of hesitation that I recommend API for any photo needs. Thank you, API!!

    Say Yes to API!!

    The team here at API is the absolute best!! Vanessa recently shot my wedding and she was wonderful. She has great attention to detail, is very personable, and passionate about her work! The rest of the behind the scenes crew worked quickly and seamlessly to get my photos edited for me in a very short time, it was so unexpected! I am so thankful for everyone at API for going above and beyond to make my special day so memorable.

    Awesome Communication, Beautiful Photos

    A Perfect Impression was so fabulous. They were an associated vendor with the venue we had, which was why we picked them. We wanted someone who knew the venue and could capture the best shots and boy, did Aaron deliver!

    We decided to have photos last minute (we were on a v tight budget). The cost was affordable (from a wedding standpoint) but Aaron really made it worth it. His energy was amazing and made me, my hubby and my bridesmaids all feel like celebrities. He was involved by telling us how to stand (which I really needed that guidance) and giving verbal feedback. He created amazing pictures as opposed to just standing around and capturing what is happening. He captured those moments, too though!

    The team was very easy to communicate with before and after the event. Very responsive and incredibly helpful and kind. I was late on getting the contract back to them and they were super kind about it.

    We got the smallest package which includes 75 prints. You do have to pay an extra $400 to get the digital files which I was pretty disappointed about. I don't know if this is industry standard, however, the price for the photography package itself wasn't too bad compared to prices I have heard others pay. So just pretend it was all one cost and it's not too bad :)

    The photos were absolutely stunning, however. I don't regret it whatsoever. We did the first look, where my husband and I took pictures before the wedding along with our wedding party. My favorite part was that Aaron airdropped all of these pre-wedding photos to me right then and there before the wedding even started. This was awesome and kept me entertained while he was editing the others. We received the final product 3 weeks later, so the turn around was fab.

    Overall, great pictures, great staff and fabulous experience!

    My husband and I don’t love having our photos taken and we were definitely nervous for our wedding day with all of the attention and having to take so many pictures, but from the beginning Aaron put us at ease. After months of planning all the details from cake flavors to tablecloths for our big day, what we were ultimately left with were memories and photographs.

    Aaron was able to take photos that told our story and captured the emotion of each moment. Seeing our photos was like reliving our day over and over again through those moments he captured. We have timeless memories of our wedding thanks to API and these aren’t just any photographs either, these are the ones that will hang above our fireplace for years to come.

    We are so grateful to the team at API for understanding the importance that photos play in your life and would recommend them to everyone!

    A Perfect Impression's reply:

    Hey guys! You're super sweet! Thank you for trusting us!

    Blessings,

    Aaron

    I have only been married a little over a week, so I do not have pictures as of yet, but our photographer was ABSOLUTELY the BEST!!!! His name was Aaron and he worked well with children, on lookers, my wedding party, family, my family that thought they were photographers lol. He gave us lots of options and the surrounding area for our venue was not very big, but he made it seem like it was. Not only was he professional, he was kind, and helpful. Everyone, including my invited family liked him. He fit right in with my family so he was more like a guest taking pictures; then a person we didn't know. If I need a photographer again I am definitely calling him!!

    Went through Wedgewood Eagle Ridge for the recommendation for this vendor. Had Kai as my lead wedding photographer. He did a fantastic job. I'm not one to like to take a lot of photos, but he made me feel comfortable. Very professional about timing, making sure we got the photos we wanted from the questionnaire.

    We also had a second photographer, Megan, and John as our videographer. All worked well together.

    We booked API through our wedding venue and I was a little hesitant since I didn't know who our actual photographers would be until the week of the wedding. But API answered all my questions quickly. When it came to our wedding day, we had Andy and Daniel as our photographers and thy were absolutely awesome. Andy was clearly very experienced and he was super personable. Daniel was very creative and some of my favorite shots are ones where he said " I saw this online, let's try it" and I'm so glad we did!! Together they were a great team and they remembered all the details I really really wanted and wrote down on my photo list form. I got so many compliments on my photos and I can't wait to have them player my walls. Thank you API, Andy and Daniel !!

    We loved working with A Perfect Impression! Everyone was great from Vanessa, the office manager, to Aaron the owner, and Natalya, the photographer. I made a request that pictures of the bride's family happen as the first set of pictures, as my mom does not have the best of health, and Aaron took that to mean that the editing needed to be rushed as well. We got our pictures back in 24 hours and they are absolutely amazing! Natalya really caught the feeing of the day with all of the photos. My husband and I were blown away by how artistic and emotional all of the pictures were. Natalya caught our first kiss so perfectly that you can use the pictures as a flip book and see us come together. I also requested for pictures to be taken of us and my truck and we got them! Natalya and A Perfect Impression did everything we asked for and more!

    I used A perfect Impression for my wedding this past May. They were so easy and friendly to work with and had reasonable packages. Andy was our photographer he was great very friendly and took a bunch of great photos the day of our wedding. Vanessa was fast in getting back to me with any questions I had and always very friendly.

    I have worked with Aaron from API in the past for some family photos. He was great to work with. I am usually very shy in front of a camera, but Aaron was so fun and personable and that made it much easier for me to relax. The photographs came out amazing. Naturally I booked them for my wedding this coming October. The process has already been a pleasant one. Communication has been easy and their team responded quickly to any questions or concerns. I look forward to working with them on my wedding day and I know we will have some beautiful pictures, thanks to their incredible photographers.

    My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with API! Our photographer was Sophia and she was great! She moved quick and was on point with every shot. She helped me remain calm, especially when I felt rushed. Our group was hard to handle at times (as I'm sure most wedding parties can be!) but she kept everyone in line! I would definitely recommend paying extra for the digital negatives. There's no way we would be able to narrow down just 100 shots that we liked, they're all so amazing!

    My husband and I (and my parents who paid for it :)) were beyond pleased with our choice of API for our wedding photographer. From the beginning of conversations through email to the day of and then to getting our photos it was super easy and they are so very nice. The photographer, Andy, did an amazing job! We are so in love with all of our photos, we honestly could not be happier! He was so nice and easy to work with, very patient with my difficult family, professional, and I have to say nice again! :) They quoted us 8 weeks after the wedding to see our pictures but it only took 4 weeks which was great and made me even happier! I would recommend them to anyone and would not hesitate to use them again!

    We used A Perfect Impression for our wedding and we were highly impressed. Aaron and Vanessa are extremely friendly and accommodating. Vanessa was always prompt in getting back to me with all of my questions. We decided to order the entire set of wedding pictures as we liked every one SO much! Vanessa informed me there was a sale the next month, so to wait a few weeks to order to get the discount. Most places do not tell you those things and are happy to charge you the non-sale price. Not A Perfect Impression! They go the extra mile to guarantee your absolute satisfaction every step of the way. I highly recommend A Perfect Impression to ALL couples! They have it all...friendliness, professionalism, and quality! You will be impressed!
