About

To me, it's not just about the image. There is a story that goes along with a great photograph. I believe photography is more than just using a camera, it's creating a fun, personal experience. When that experience includes 1.2 megatons of happiness and dorky comments (included with every photo session), ridiculously good images happen.

Reviews of Aaron Courter Photography

A pleasure to work with, beautiful photos!

The thing that stands out to me most is how Aaron managed to be everywhere, to get the shot, and still not be in the way of anything. Aaron's positive energy immediately got us in a good mental space for our couple's photos (before the ceremony) and set us up for a great night. He listened carefully, stayed in touch, and delivered on what we had talked about. As our friends tell the stories of our wedding, it is his images that captured the scenes. On the business side, Aaron was clear and professional while also allowing us to make decisions even up to the day of the event (extra time, etc.), the packages he offered fit well for us and he was able to explain (accurately!) how much time we would likely need of his services to cover the event as we described it. Payment was simple and all of his contract, invoice, and copyright release information was very clear.

So glad we picked Aaron!

We hired Aaron for our September wedding. He was exceptional! His warm personality and style made it easy for us to relax for photo shoots. So many of our guests commented on how much they appreciated his style. His pictures were so wonderful, we had a hard time picking which ones to frame. He was one of the people who made our wedding memorable! We highly recommend him.

Aaron is exceptional

Aaron is exceptional. He's an exceptional photographer— words fail to describe how thrilled we were by the pictures he took at our wedding. He's also an exceptional human being—me made us, and all of our guests, feel comfortable, safe, and at ease being themselves.

So many guests and relatives commented about Aaron's warmth and kindness. This ability to make everyone feel at ease celebrating really shines through in the photos, which capture the magic and tell the story in a way we couldn't have anticipated but are so grateful to have.

His rates were among the most reasonable that we encountered, and he made himself available to stay late and arrive early day of. He pinned everyone's boutonnieres. He delivered the photos more quickly than expected, and also sent us a number of prints, which was a generous surprise.

We can't recommend Aaron more highly. One of the very best decisions we made in our wedding planning process!

Aaron, thank you!

Stunning photos! Amazing experience!

Aaron took our elopement pictures and they turned out wonderful! The lighting was stunning and how he framed the pictures was unique and classic. He had great attention to detail as he fluffed the dress and set up the pictures. He posed us in a way that looked relaxed, natural, and romantic.

Aaron was so easy and fun to work with! He was easy to communicate with, flexible when we had scheduling issues, and made us laugh while taking pictures.

Would recommend Aaron to anyone in the Portland area for elopements!

Amazing Photographer

We had Aaron photograph our wedding in October in West Linn and he did an absolutely stunning job. We selected Aaron because his portfolio showed a good mix of beautiful staged photos along with candid shots that capture the feel of the day. He did not disappoint! The couples and family photos we received were better than I could have imagined and the candids allowed us to see so many happenings we missed. Plus Aaron was so professional, easy to work with and was so nice with the family and kiddos. I can't stop looking at our photos and we have so many good ones the hardest part is choosing which to frame!! Thank you so much Aaron!

Authentic, humorous and stunning photographs!

Aaron is a fantastic photographer and so so wonderful to work with! He was the only photographer we met with and we instantly knew he was the one to capture our backyard wedding. Aaron was able to help us relax with his sense of humor and calm demeanor when taking photos. He is also incredibly kind, he brought me a slice of pizza when I was feeling queasy and resting prior to the ceremony. We love every photo he took of our wedding! He captured so many small moments of joy during our reception, from over the top dancing to full body laughter. Aaron is truly authentic, humorous and a joy to work with - I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Flexible, energetic, and attenuative to detail

Aaron did an amazing job with not only doing our wedding pictures, but also reaching out to see how plans have changed with COVID and giving us options for pictures if we had to change dates. Aaron also did our proposal pictures, this is where flexibility comes in. Aaron was willing to fly to Colorado for the proposal and adapted so well when I went the wrong way on a trail. Aaron asks what is most important to us in the pictures and delivers!

Captured the best moments, felt like a guest!

Aaron was amazing! From our first conversation over the phone to the very end of our wedding, he shared our excitement and made our wedding even more memorable. We just received our photos, and I can't believe how many small moments he was able to catch that truly made our wedding special. He caught my wife's favorite faces, my friends' best moments, and cute moments with our younger cousins on the dance floor!

I HIGHLY recommend you work with Aaron!

Pleasure to Work With

My fiance and I chose Aaron because of his artsy style and his humor. Aaron is really good at what he does. I always thought that I like formal pictures way better than candids but looking over our wedding photos I have to say that the candids he captures are just as incredible! I always need a little help with posing because I never know what to do in front of a camera and always hold my chin too high but Aaron helped a lot with directing us how to stand or where to look so the pictures came out natural looking. It was a pleasure working with Aaron and I highly recommend him to any bride.
