Thank You Maddie

Maddie was an absolute pleasure to work with! She had the perfect vision for our wedding and made everything come together beautifully. I’m so excited to see how the pictures turn out—I know they’ll be amazing! Thank you, Maddie, for capturing our special day!

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.

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!

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 :)

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
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

A Perfect Impression and terrific results and a great guy! As one of our preferred photographers, Aaron and his team are top of the line. We provide a one stop environment for our clients and shooting photographs on a moving venue with a constant change in lighting, photography can be a bit more challenging on yachts. Aaron’s team is always professional, timely, easy to work with and provides a beautiful memory for our clients and guests.
