My Style

My style as a wedding photographer is unobtrusive, friendly photojournalism. I capture the moments of your day as they naturally unfold.

While I take time to capture traditional posed photographs as well, I believe the most special photographs are taken when I observe and record the events of your day as they happen…the bride casually kissing the groom when no one is looking…the flower girl gazing at a single flower during the wedding reception…or the father of the bride hugging his daughter one last time before she leaves for the honeymoon.

For this reason, I have had several of my former clients give me the tongue-in-cheek title of “ninja photographer”. As one mother-of-the-bride put it, “it is perfect description for what I think is the most distinguishing characteristic of your photography.”

As a Client, You are My Top Priority

My clients will tell you that I will work as hard as anyone out there to capture your wedding and tell the story of your day the best I can. I am easy-going, yet very professional, punctual and accommodating. I care about my clients and they always come first. I believe in responding to your questions right away, communicating promptly and doing everything I can to meet your needs as a photographer.

Your job is to relax and enjoy your wedding day! My job is to document it for you to relive forever.

Aaron was the perfect photographer for our big day! He was flexible with our schedule, professional, and extremely helpful. We had a large wedding, over 220 guests, and he managed to capture every important moment and more! He was always very timely when getting back to us or answering our questions and he worked with us on our tight budget. As for his work, where do we start?! His pictures are beautiful, everything we wanted! His great experience allows him to set up wonderful shots! Thank you Aaron!! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email us at emjay892017@gmail.com.

Wow oh wow was our first thought when we saw our wedding photos from 4/29/17. Aaron's work is absolutely stunning.

We had such a great time going through the pictures especially since Aaron captured so many special moments of our guests that we completely missed the day of. He captured the essence of our friends and family which is quite tricky as they are quite animated and always on the move. Our guests said multiple times Aaron was everywhere like a ninja willing to take their pictures.

I love that our pictures aren't too posed and retain the us value in them. By far our favorite picture was us and the wedding party running from a dinosaur. Aaron did a great job choreographing the shot and showed such enthusiasm. And most importantly, he pulled it off magnificently. The picture is brilliant!

Aaron is unimposing, friendly, efficient (especially when capturing kids), professional, and extremely skilled in his profession.

We are beyond thrilled with our photos and recommend him whole-heartily.

Aaron did such a fantastic job on both our wedding photos and engagement photos. He was always very friendly and answered emails back quickly. Not only did the family photos turn out well, but he got so many great candid shots at the wedding as well. Friends and family have referred to him as a "ninja" He was always on the move, he made sure to get shots of all the guests and of all of the events that were going on, but did not draw attention to himself. I don't feel like he missed any good photo opportunities. I would absolutely recommend Aaron to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer!

Aaron is a pro. I cannot say enough about his professionalism and creative talent. He is a joy to work with. The second we got engaged, I sent him a message to make sure that our wedding date worked with his schedule. Aaron is one person that manages to be everywhere and is also invisible. He got photos of every aspect of our wedding and we will cherish them forever. Thank you for everything, Aaron. You are amazing at what you do!

I can't say enough amazing things about Aaron, from start to finish he was absolutely amazing! He contacted us when he said he would, replied to emails very quickly and sent us a check list of suggested photos before the wedding for us to add/chose from. He made every one feel comfortable and got amazing shots of things we totally missed at the wedding. My husband and I have never had professional photos taken and he made us feel totally at ease and all of his shots came out amazing! Our wedding was this past Saturday and I am looking at the electronic photos today, just 5 days later!!!! Aaron's the best!!!

Aaron captured our engagement and wedding perfectly! There was not one moment missed from our wedding that did not end up in one of his photographs. He is extremely progression and easy going. He is creative but open to suggestions and willing to take any ideas you have and make them a reality. I highly recommend him for any event that you want a great and trustworthy photographer for. He completed our wedding last Saturday (10/10/15) and I got my completed package with all my pictures in the mail today! I will recommend him to everyone I know!

Aaron did an amazing job that exceeded our expectations! He photographed our engagement session as well as our wedding ceremony and reception. The quality of the photography truly captured the amazing moments, and we will forever be able to relive the excitement through Aaron's work. Aaron was very open to whatever suggestions we had for pictures/poses that we wanted, etc. He also helped us plan a schedule for the day of the wedding, which helped us stay calm and accomplish everything we wanted. He is a pleasure to work with, very professional, but also fun to be around. He got our pictures back to us for both events in a matter of days and we were blown away by the quality of his work. Our guests have continually complimented the quality of the photos and how great everything turned out.

Aaron was everything we could hope for in a wedding photographer.
He offered a detailed contract
He contacted us when he said he would
He provided a worksheet to complete with wedding participants and desired photos
He was patient with children and inebriated adults on a 90+ degree day.
He was unbelievably attentive throughout the reception...walking around gathering candid photos of the bride and groom,
family members and guests...we didn't even realize all the photos he had gotten until we saw the finished collection, a mere 3 days after the wedding. I appreciate so much having the complete rights to photos as well in case I ever want to quickly print one to share
