As soon as we met Airyka, we knew we wanted to ask her to be our wedding photographer. She was organized, poised, gracious, and extremely talented.

Our wedding day went by in a flash. Airyka not only took many wonderful photos, but also helped keep us focused on the importance of relishing each fleeting moment. Many of our guests commented on her kindness and ease when photographing guests.

When we look at our photos, we feel so lucky to have found her. The photos are genuinely magical. The depth of story and meaning in each photo is a true gift. (Thank you Airyka!) Our families will share and adore these photos for a lifetime. We are so grateful to have had her as our photographer.

Any couple would be lucky to have her on their wedding team!

Hiring Airyka to photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. We had met with several other photographers prior to deciding to go with her, and her refreshing laid-back professionalism sealed the deal for us. Airyka is incredibly thorough and responsive. She takes the time to learn about you, your wedding, and genuinely cares. I have been a bridesmaid multiple times, and can say that this genuineness is not always found. We also did an engagement shoot with her where the working conditions could not have been worse- rain, constantly changing cloud patterns, and giant waves that drenched us all! Despite all of that, she remained cool and got some stunning shots. I knew from then that she could handle whatever the wedding day threw at us. Her background of fine art photography and use of digital as well as film really sets her apart from other wedding photographers. Not only can she provide beautiful posed portraits with the perfect amount of direction, but she also captures those precious candid moments to perfection. She takes the most beautiful candid portraits of people and her knowledge and use of light is top-notch. With Airyka, you won't be getting "trendy", overly-filtered or overly photoshopped photos, but rather timelessly gorgeous photos you will love for years to come that genuinely capture the feel of the day. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Airyka and predict that her career in wedding photography will be hugely successful.

We looked into several options before committing to a photographer and couldn't be happier with Airyka Rockefeller.
First, she is professional. She’s flexible but clear, gave us all the information up-front without requiring us to give too many emails. She even gave me suggestions on the day’s schedule. She looked at it not just from her perspective (getting the shots), but from the perspective of the bride and groom, who don't want to miss their guests because they're taking photos. She was unobtrusive, and firm but pleasant with our family and friends to get the group shots done in good time without sacrificing quality. In fact, it was amazing to see how many of our guests she shot throughout the day.
Second, her photography is great. Magic with capturing light, she has a distinctly artistic eye, especially natural photos - she snaps candid moments with aplomb (no awkward mid-bite photos, just peoples’ personalities shining through). She recorded the details in the decor and food, and took pictures around the entire venue. As a couple who is averse to cheesiness of posed photos, she brought out our real smiles and made us feel comfortable while we were getting ready and taking our portraits. Airyka uses various cameras, both digital and film. She used an original Leica medium-format film camera that captured photos of my husband and I that looked so timeless.
Lastly, the edited photos came back quickly. She gave us a beautiful, well-organized, easily navigable website with all of retouched photos within a month of the wedding that friends and family could download from.
If you have a long list of posed photos you absolutely must have, Airyka might not be the perfect fit. But if you like an instinctive eye towards beauty who can balance the posed and candid while surprising you with little touches and wonderful portraits, you can't make a better choice.

I cannot recommend Airyka highly enough. On all of the categories offered - quality, responsiveness, professionalism, value, flexibility - Airyka exceed our expectations. Most importantly, the photos are stunning. A close relative is a professional photographer herself and she commented, unprompted, that Airyka's work is extraordinarily well done. Before the wedding, Airyka is thorough without clogging up your inbox. During the ceremony and reception, she has the most subtle, unobtrusive, but also direct when need be, style. Basically, she's everywhere you want her to be without dominating your day. And, finally, I think she provides an incredible service at an uncommonly reasonable price. So, look no further, Airyka is who you want to photograph your special day.

Airyka is a gifted artist and her talents are reflected beautifully in her photography. I was lucky enough to book her for my wedding in May and I found that she captured every special moment exactly as I had experienced them. Her unique professional style allowed her to blend in seamlessly with all of our guests which allowed for some the most beautiful candid shots. I loved sharing my wedding day with this cool gal and I highly recommend her services! She’s fun, professional and extremely talented!!!

Airyka did an amazing job photographing our wedding! She was a true joy to work with, from beginning to end. She was very easy to communicate with and really took the time to ask the right questions and figure out what photos were the most important to us prior to the big day. At the wedding she was a calming presence, which was very helpful as I was such a nervous bride! She did a great job at wrangling my big extended family into a perfect family portrait. Her work is beautiful, unique and we couldn't be happier with the photos she took. Whenever I look at them I can relive the day, as she was able to capture each moment and feeling of every part of the wedding! I highly recommend her!

Airyka photographed our wedding and we can not say enough good things about working with her. She was very receptive to our requests and brought an expert's creative eye to our photos. Everyone who sees the pictures she took remarks on how beautiful they are, and how the essence of the day was captured so well. Airyka was friendly and easy to communicate with through the whole process, she really made us feel very comfortable and at ease. Her skill and professionalism make her wedding photo package a real value. We can not thank Airyka enough for documenting our wedding tastefully and thoroughly. We would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Airyka's services to anyone looking for a skilled, down to earth photographer.
