    Absolutely Blew Us Away

    I truly can’t recommend Aaron enough as a wonderful photographer, professional, and all around person! Aaron did both our wedding and engagement photos, and the results each time blew us away. He has an incredible eye for color and context, and beautifully, authentically celebrates both people and their settings - he captured not only the small details and nuances of our day but also its overall feel of sweeping, vibrant love. Throughout the entire planning process, he was also so reassuring to work with – laid-back and relaxed while always professional, and he kept all pre-event as well as day-of photography timeline pieces moving forward seamlessly. Last but most definitely not least, he enthusiastically embraced our many non-traditional wishes and event elements, delivering photos that truly commemorate *us* and our loved ones. I would recommend Aaron for anyone that wants stunning, authentic visual storytelling.

    Amazing photos, lets you be you!

    We hate being the center of attention. So we were worried about having photos of us taken at our wedding. BUT! Several of our friends had hired Aaron to take their wedding photos, and we were really impressed with how they turned out. When we met with Aaron, we knew it would be a great match. He was super relaxed and friendly while still being professional, punctual, and responsive. He was communicative with us leading up to the wedding and was super thoughtful in his responses about the photography planning.The day of the wedding, he and his co-photographer were fantastic. They arrived on time and were very professional and organized. They were also funny and real, and somehow made the awkwardness of having our photos taken seem like it wasn't that bad! He can definitely get you laughing if you're feeling uncomfortable. 

    We are absolutely blown away by the photos Aaron took at our wedding. Getting married in downtown Phoenix was very important to us, and Aaron took us to some great spots that really reflected the feeling we wanted our wedding to have. His photos feel like genuine reflections of us as a couple. We're incredibly happy we picked Aaron and will absolutely recommend him to everyone we know!

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I adored working with you both and this makes my day to know you're this happy about the photos! :D

    The BEST in the biz!

    We originally found Aaron on yelp, we met with him and he worked with him on our engagement photos. It was after that that we decided to start that he would do our wedding as well and luckily he was available. Aaron will exceed your expectations without a doubt. He is super laid-back, easy to work with and a fun individual that will make your wedding day a breeze. We were so satisfied with our engagement photos and just recently got a sneak peek of our wedding photos, four days after the wedding. He is quick and does not disappoint. The photo that we got as a teaser is incredibly beautiful. We love it so much and can’t wait to see the rest of the photos because we know his work kicks ass.

    You are gonna feel great about hiring Aaron.
    Not only is his demeanor humble, positive and thoughtful, but his work is always honest, well executed and delightful.
    I hired Aaron to work a high-end corporate shoot for a national client of mine, and his work was phenomenal, and some of the best I've ever seen.
    It's very challenging for a photographer to capture the interior of a dimly-lit venue, successfully employ flash without making it stand out as glaring or obnoxious. Aaron absolutely nailed the look, and made everyone on the team look terrific.
    Every time I see a photo of his on my Instagram feed, I automatically know that it's his work by its distinct look and spot-on execution.

    Aaron is amazingly talented. He just captured our Dallas Texas wedding last weekend, and all I can say is, "wow!"
    His artistic eye coupled with his laid back and friendly personality make him the perfect photographer for your BIG day! Aaron will not sit around and wait for you to ask him to take a photo of something. He is very involved, you can see his number one priority is capturing all of the big and small moments that make YOUR wedding day magical. I highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a great wedding photographer at a competitive price. You won't be sorry.

    I cannot stop looking at my wedding photos!! I found Aaron through friends and by viewing his portfolio online. I could not be happier about my decision to have him photograph our big day.

    Because I was planning my wedding from out of the country, good communication was crucial. Aaron was very responsive and made the preparations very easy prior to meeting in person. He was always available to answer any of my questions. He also checked in with me from time to time to confirm we were on schedule with planning and that he had all the details necessary to shoot the photos that we wanted. In addition to being talented and professional, he is such a pleasure to work with!

    After all the fanfare is over, all you have are your memories and the photos from the day. It was so important to me that our photos captured our personalities. We wanted to capture more than some pretty pictures, but the relationships between our friends, family, and each other. Aaron brilliantly captured the ambiance of our wedding. Our photos are colorful and fun. He captured all the small details that were part of our day. There are hilarious candids and several tender moments. Overall, I am just thrilled with his work! Thanks, Aaron!

    Aaron gets the shots. He is worth every penny (and more)! Everyone’s heard horror stories of photographers that just stand there idly while missing important moments. Not Aaron! He worked non-stop for hours at the wedding. It’s almost like he had a clone, he was in so many places at once. And he will get down on the ground and up in the air (within reason, ha) to get your best photos. He is funny and personable and makes family and friends - kids, men, women, and the elderly - feel comfortable and at ease. Aaron is also very prompt and responsive – which is an important and appreciated quality. He gets back to you right away and answers your questions in a friendly and quick manner. He listens to what you want (we worked off a shot list, but also improvised as needed) and can also help guide you with ideas and experience of his own. His finished photographs are absolutely beautiful. He made the already lovely setting look even better than it did in real life and captured so many genuine expressions and special moments from the day. I have recommended him to family, friends, and coworkers time and again – and will continue to do so. Do yourself a favor and hire him!

    Aaron Kes is a photographer that listens to what you want and then transforms your day into a story. He worked on my official wedding day 10/31/14 as a photographer as well as at my secondary wedding on 11/15/14. He is very professional, courteous, and prompt. He scouts out his locations - figuring out what areas will provide the best lighting and pictures to capture you in the best photos possible. He is very good at getting groups (and even small children) staged without looking staged, taking a basic photo on your list such as a picture of your invitation and making it look like a work of art, and even wiping the sweat from your brow on a hot, sunny day. There are so many photos he took that I want to hang in my house, that it's hard for me to choose. I love them all! One thing that struck a chord with me personally was that he is very detail oriented and responsive to email, texts, etc. Planning a wedding can be very stressful and he made the process very easy. I look forward to working with him again soon. I highly recommend everyone use Aaron for any photos they may need to have done whether its for a wedding or even just family photos for your house.

    Aaron has a great eye for finding the right shot, and he is a pleasure to work with. He is very open to working with you on any ideas that you have, and brings a lot of his owe if you don't.

    If you splurge on one thing at your wedding- make it a photographer. Thone photos last forever. If you are looking for a photographer who can take pictures that will hold up over time, hire Aaron. He's the best.

    Aaron was very enthusiastic about our baby announcement photos. He had a lot of great ideas and took a lot of photos. We had so many beautiful shots to choose from for our announcements. It was difficult to choose! Aaron is very friendly and professional, and I would recommend him to anyone!

    I was very impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail that Aaron Kes displayed at a wedding I attended in September. His creativity and the quality of his work was so outstanding I asked if I could use one of the photos he took of me for my future book cover. He gave me more than one!! I was so pleased with the quality of Aaron's work as a wedding photographer that we hired him to do my son's wedding this October!!

    Aaron is an incredible photographer. He is great at capturing the large moments as well as the intimate ones without being obtrusive. When it came time for family shots during cocktail hour, he was organized, swift, and incredibly kind with family members of all ages. I think one of the things I love most about Aaron is that he is truly collaborative in his process. I told him that I didn't want the staged shots to feel like we were all lined up waiting for our picture to be taken. I wanted the shots to feel like they were in a Vanity Fair issue. Never one to shy away from a challenge, he did his homework and nailed it! I would highly recommend him to anyone throwing any type of event. You won't be disappointed.

    I was referred to Aaron from a mutual friend and never even met him before trusting him with my engagement photos. He did such a great job that it was an easy decision to hire him for my wedding and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! He is professional, accommodating, and extremely creative. I felt like he took an extra special interest in making sure my photos came out perfectly. He showed up early, visited my venue weeks ahead of time to check out the different angles and lighting (for an outdoor wedding), and he stayed in constant contact before, during, and afterward. He captured all the traditional wedding photos in a very non-traditional way. My photos are so much fun to look at, everybody looks gorgeous, and it is easy to relive every detail when flipping through my wedding album. If you want beautiful, fun, unique photos and a photographer that has a god-given gift of capturing the perfect moments, Aaron is the photographer for you!

    When planning our wedding the one thing that we both felt was the most important was the photography. My husband and I wanted to make sure that we had someone amazing capture our special day. Aaron, was absolutely amazing, he was quick with our family shots, and had a great eye when it came to finding great places to shoot at the venue. He was extremely polite and made the whole event comfortable. Some of my favorite shots were they ones I didn't even know he took at the time.
    I recommend Aaron to all my friends, and will use him in the future!
    Thanks again Aaron!

    Aaron is an amazing wedding photographer. He has great vision and he can capture fabulous pictures. I was impressed and very happy with my wedding day photos. His professionalism is combined with his ability to make you comfortable like he were a friend just snapping pictures. Aaron listened to what I wanted, took amazing pictures, and he made it fun and stress free. I not only had those great pictures that I knew I wanted, but he went above and beyond and gave me pictures I wasn't expecting, which made my big day even more special to look back on.a

    Aaron has been invited to do more photos for my family, and we will continue to book him as our photographer for any family shoots or major events in my lifetime.

    We are extremely happy that we chose Aaron as our photographer. Our wedding pictures are stunning and we love looking at them over and over again. The photos capture not just what we looked like that day- but how the day felt. They are not just pictures of what happened, but images of our emotions.
    Working with Aaron was a treat too. Having someone who knows how to direct the shots made a huge difference we can see in our pictures over some of our friends’- even the posed pictures (not usually my favorite kind of photos) look super natural. I highly recommend Aaron Kes Photography- you'll love your pictures.
