Working with Aileen was nothing short of magical. I knew the instant I saw her portfolio that I wanted to work with her. She was incredibly flexible and easy to work with on every front. My husband and I met with her before the wedding and hit it off right away - you definitely want someone who is fun and personable to be behind the camera so that you are your most comfortable self. Aileen is all of this and more! I had no doubt in my mind that our photos would come out beautifully and I am blown away at what she was able to capture. She seriously has a talent at bottling not only the essence of the day but all of the magical moments as well. I could not recommend her more highly for your wedding (or special day).

Wow, where to even begin? I feel like I could write an entire novel about my experience with Aileen.

Photography was a challenge for me. I felt it was one of the MOST important vendors as photos are one of the few things that last beyond the day.

Aileen went above and beyond with every single aspect of her job. She corresponded with me frequently answering questions, giving ideas, advice, etc regarding anything I needed. She was patient when my hair and makeup trial made me over 20 minutes late for our engagement shoot and still spent longer with us than the contract stated! She wrote a heartfelt recap of the day on her blog and sent links to an online album with pictures edited and organized in a timely manner, much more quickly than stated in contract. The pictures themselves are jaw dropping and expertly done.

On the day of the actual wedding, she actually brought TWO second shooters instead of the contractually agreed upon one! She was prompt, active, and never missed a beat. Her style is very photo-journalistic and focused on candid "moment capturing" as opposed to cheesy, stiff posed images. Her "eye" can only be described as shocking. She can turn literally any setting into a breathtaking composition of stunning photography. Her photobooth was TOP notch. Big enough to fit 8+ people in one shot, flat screen slideshow displaying images on site, and perfect HD pics.

The final amazement came when our DVD of images was delivered. She had a custom made jacket depicting some the best shots and wrote a lovely note. She's truly a kind person, put up with multiple reschedules on my part, and is seriously the most talented photographer I have worked with to date. I actually have scheduled an additional bridal portrait shoot because I love her work so much!

Aileen was incredible to work with, very easy going and generally quite professional. From our first meeting we knew it would be a perfect working relationship and it absolutely was. She was always on time and ready to work. There is no question that she has amazing attention to detail and a true photographers eye. Our engagement photos were beautiful and touching, and what we have already seen of our wedding photos they are nothing short of spectacular. Well worth the investment value and would absolutely recommend her to everyone I know for all events.

I booked Aileen for my wedding after I saw my friend's wedding pictures. My husband and I really liked Aileen's style from what we had seen at the time. Aileen did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding pictures. She really has a great eye for detail and captured many candid shots and genuine moments through out the day. Our formal shots were absolutely gorgeous. The day of the wedding went by so fast that there were many details such as the set up of my escort cards, center pieces, etc. that I really didn't get to see right there and then. However, after receiving my wedding proofs, Aileen was able to capture all those little details for me to see which was a great surprise. She is very easy going and open to all ideas you have. My family also complemented on how awesome and on top of things she was at the wedding. If you are looking for someone to capture those beautiful details and moments, Aileen is definitely one of the best.

I've know Aileen since our days at Pepperdine University. We've kept in touch, but it was only recently that we finally got to see eachother after all these years! My husband and I are expecting our first child, and I've always loved seeing Aileen's photos, so I decided to contact her and asked if she did maternity shoots! Thank goodness she did because our maternity shoot turned out beautiful and everything I envisioned came true!!! The lighting, setting, props... everything was perfect! Not only is she amazing, but she is flexible and returns your emails/calls very fast! I like that! I will now be using Aileen for future photo shoots, and I highly recommend her! Can't wait 'till our baby is born so we can take more beautiful photos! :)

We had a really incredible engagement beach photo shoot with Aileen, she did wonders with her style and creativity. Fortunately through this site and the review of others, we were lucky to find someone who could beautifully capture all the elements of the different landscapes and the romance between us, giving us perfectly dreamy photos. She was very sweet and reliable and highly recommend her because she is extraordinarily talented and fun to work with. She made the whole experience very fun, easy, and comfortable!

Aileen has a talent for capturing the details in an extraordinary way! We hired her for our small wedding on the beach and barely knew she was there taking pictures. She was quiet and professional. When we saw the photos she captured we were in awe!! She caught some amazing moments at beautifully artistic angles. This woman is a true talent in the art of photography. She has found her calling, and my husband and I couldn't be happier that we found her to capture our special day. Our wedding photos are truly a work of art. Thank you, Aileen!!!

we loved having aileen as our photographer! my husband and i were looking for someone who had great experience but with reasonable prices and aileen had it all (plus more!) i was referred to her from a friend who had her wedding the previous year so i decided to check out her blog and really fell in love with her style. as soon as i checked out her prices she had more than what we were expecting! what we loved most about her packages was that it included an engagement session, so we really liked that we didn't have to search for another photographer. she was very professional and was fast in responding to our emails. we couldn't have been more pleased in her work! i've already recommended her to some of my friends for their weddings and hope they are as pleased as i am. thank you aileen for capturing the most memorable day of our lives! We look forward to working again with you in the near future!

Words cannot describe just how amazing Aileen is. I met her through a mutual friend and came across her website, and going through her portfolio made me 100% convinced that I wanted her to do my wedding photography whenever that day came around. On the day of the event, Aileen and her staff were on top of things and were able to capture the evening in a way that wasn't cheesy or too "wedding like".

If you are looking for a photographer who takes pictures that are more artistic and who above all is so sweet and wonderful, Aileen is definitely your girl!! I can't wait to work with her again on another event!

Aileen is just simply amazing. I honestly cannot express how truly remarkable she is as a photographer and a person. From the moment we contacted her, she was extremely friendly, professional, and organized. None of the other photographers I researched had nearly the same quality of work or personality as Aileen. Her photos are breathtaking and unique, and I still feel every ounce of emotion that I did on my wedding day when looking at our pictures. Aileen knew exactly how to guide me and my husband as she was photographing us, and she made us feel completely comfortable from the very beginning. On the day of the wedding, she was calm, responsive, and captured every last detail. Even though it has been nearly two years since our wedding, we are still in contact, and she still manages to surprise me with her caring ways. I do not know what more I can say about Aileen other than the fact that she is just simply amazing!
