About

We think you should expect a lot from your photography:

  • Intimate moments and real emotion
  • Relaxed, beautiful portraits
  • Joyful images of the people you love
  • And a team who will capture it all without sacrificing your enjoyment of the day.

At Aimee Custis Photography, we document weddings + portraits for colorful couples who want timeless photos that feel comfortable, beautiful + real.

Working with us, we want you to be at ease and feel confident that you’re in good hands. From the first time you email us, through to our last interaction, our team will guide you into feeling comfortable in your own skin, give you 110% of ourselves, and share the expertise we've built from documenting 100+ weddings and too many headshots to count.

Your photos will exude warmth and color. They will transport you back to the feeling of that moment. Your gallery will be full of moments that are breathtaking yet real. Our philosophy is simple: Set you up to feel comfortable, beautiful, and real, so that your photos look as good as you felt.

What you can expect from us:

  • Photos that look as good as you feel
    We don't quite conform to any of the common photography styles, and we're okay with that. Walking to the beat of our own drummer instead of chasing trends helps your photos look as timelineme in 40 years as they do the day you receive them. We like to think your photos encapulate how real life feels at its best: colorful, welcoming, natural, and full of emotion and light.

  • Comfort + confidence to relax + be in the moment
    Photography should enhance, not detract from your wedding day. We read the room and offer the encouragement, direction, or humor you need in the moment to get the best photo. Your only responsibility will be to soak in the moment.

  • Support + insights throughout
    We're available to collaborate with you or your planner as much as needed leading up to the wedding. This support is a core to our approach to wedding photography: Supporting our clients with the knowledge to make informed decisions—and then respecting your boundaries, trusting you to make the decisions that best suit your priorities, and fully honoring your choices.

  • Respect for your values + traditions
    Wedding planning is stressful enough as it is, without worrying whether the people you work with support your values and identity. We do. We welcome you exactly as you are, and believe you deserve photos that make you feel comfortable, beautiful, and real. In the occasional instance where we are new to a tradition or request, we approach it with kind and curious hearts.

Amazing photography with a personal touch

Aimee and her team provided amazing support from start to finish as we planned the photography for our wedding and engagement photos. Neither of us were trilled about being in front of the camera, but from the first time we met with Aimee she put us at ease about the whole process and helped us make the right decisions for our needs. Nikolai and AB captured so many beautiful photos of our wedding, made us laugh throughout the day, and made sure that we got all of the shots that we were hoping for, while also ensuring that we had plenty of time with our guests (a top priority for us). We would not hesitate to recommend Aimee, or any of the photographers she partners with, to other couples.

WOW. Aimee is amazing

We chose Aimee Custis photography after seeing our friends' wedding photos-- and we are so thrilled with our decision! In addition to the absolutely gorgeous images, the photography team was so pleasant and helpful throughout the day, even helping when the groom's boutonniere went missing! As we found, much of the wedding day features a photographer nearby, and we had only positive and fun interactions with them. We can't recommend Aimee & her team highly enough!!

Aimee is amazing!!

If you are considering working with Aimee, do not hesitate and book her now! Aimee exceeded our expectations in every way. She was an amazing communicator throughout the whole process. Planning a wedding can be stressful & can create a lot of anxiety, and her consistent timeliness with responses to emails and questions really stood out to us. On our wedding day specifically, Aimee was an extremely friendly, fun, and calming presence. She has a unique ability to "direct" and "make things happen" while keeping everyone engaged, happy, and stress-free. Aimee did a great job of “blending in” when taking photos, and was able to capture a lot of great candid photos of our day - there was never pressure from anyone in the room to “look at the photographer.” As someone who feels truly awkward when their photo is taken or when asked to pose for a photo, Aimee did a great job at making my husband & me feel comfortable & relaxed throughout our couples portrait shoot, and the photos turned out GREAT! Everyone at our wedding was raving about Aimee - there’s gotta be something more than 5 stars for people like her!
