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.

Aimee was a life saver
Aimee was by far the best and most helpful vendor we hired for our wedding. Not only did the photos turn out great, but she also helped us think through the full timeline of the wedding well in advance and gave great advice every step of the way. She took so much stress out of the whole wedding process. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Aimee is SO WONDERFUL!! Couldn't recommend more :)
Aimee goes above and beyond as a member of the wedding vendor team. In addition to that, she is a phenomenal photographer, and I'm so thrilled how beautiful our wedding photos are. Aimee is empathetic, a seasoned pro, provides valuable guidance on day of logistics, incredibly responsive, organized, creative, and kind. I loved having her with me throughout the wedding day. I couldn't recommend Aimee any more!!

A Beautiful Surprise and a Visual Masterpiece
I recently surprised my fiancée with a couple’s photo shoot for my birthday, and we were fortunate to have Aimee as our photographer. As someone who loves the vibrant cityscape of Washington, D.C., I was particularly excited about incorporating its iconic murals into our shoot. Aimee went above and beyond, scouting phenomenal locations and ensuring each mural was active and available for us to use. This level of attention to detail, patience, and creativity far exceeded my expectations.
Having worked with several professional photographers due to my line of work, I can confidently say that Aimee stands out as exceptional. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care created a tailor-made experience that felt incredibly personal to us. From the moment we met, she put my fiancée at ease, transforming the shoot into something that felt intimate, natural, and yet, effortlessly chic. She struck a perfect balance between guiding us and allowing the moments to unfold organically. What’s more, Aimee generously shared historical tidbits about the city as she led us through each location, adding layers of meaning to the day.
The finished photos were absolutely stunning. Every detail, from the lighting to the composition, was flawless. The way she captured our love, the beauty of the murals, and the essence of the city was beyond what we could have imagined. My fiancée was truly blown away by Aimee’s thoughtfulness and artistry. We’re already planning to book her for future events because she’s worth every bit and more. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only deliver beautiful images but also craft an unforgettable experience, Aimee is your person.

Excellent Wedding Photographer
Would 11/10 recommend Aimee and her team. Aimee is so organized and detailed and that's exactly what you need in a wedding photographer. She puts the couples wants first while also providing professional guidance. Photos turned out beautiful as well!

Yes, pick Aimee!
Aimee and her team are not only wonderful photographers, but they are also really great people -- important when you're spending 9 hours together! -- and accommodating professionals. Aimee worked with us to create a unique package that included limited video and a guest portrait lounge, all within our budget. She was very patient and helpful throughout the planning process as we worked through the asks/ideas I had. On the day, Aimee kept us all on time, organizing big group shots with humor and efficiency, and Nikolai and Patrick excellently captured our key moments in video and guest candids and portraits. And all the photos are absolutely beautiful!

Absolutely Incredible and Enjoyable Experience
Having Aimee photograph our micro wedding may have been the best decision of our entire wedding process. From the initial intro call, to the very last photo she took of the night (and everything in between), we had a great connection with Aimee, and she made us feel at ease through every step of the process.
Aimee is a phenomenal person, but an even better photographer. She is easy-going, affable, and incredibly efficient - she managed to wrangle both of our families and kept everyone happy and entertained through an hour of photos as the sun was setting on a chilly November night.
Aimee was helpful in identifying locations for our private vows and subsequent photos, and made us feel completely heard in how we envisioned our vows, family photos, and dinner.
The photos exceeded our wildest expectations, and Aimee turned our gallery around in less than two weeks. We cannot more highly recommend having Aimee photograph your special occasion.

Superb wedding photos & friendly team!
We loved working with Aimee! She took time to get to know us in order to fit right into our wedding experience and capture us and our friends and family as naturally as possible. She was also very low key and helpful on the actual day. The photos were incredible, and she made the best of rainy weather to get fall photos outside after the ceremony! We an't wait to work with her again!

Amazing team & 6 star service!!
Aimee was the best! Right from the get go, she was so responsive and thoughtful. She was able to work with us to create a photo package that got us the quality and quantity we wanted, at the price we could afford. She also is a very caring and organized person, going so far as to save my dress from a horrible red wine stain with a portable tidal stick she kept in her purse. I won't give away all of her surprises, but she truly went above and beyond in every interaction we had with her. And the photos she and Nikolai took are nothing short of gorgeous and authentically us. Worth every penny and then some.

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.

Aimee is the best of the best!
If I had to do my wedding over again, my first phone call would be to Aimee. You will not regret hiring her and her team!! My husband and I first met Aimee when she photographed his sister’s wedding back in 2019, so candidly, we knew her work and knew that she was going to be great. That said, working with her exceeded our expectations. Aimee is the total package and more. She is supremely organized and detail-oriented, impressing even this Type-A bride. She recognizes that wedding photography is not just an art form, but requires planning, preparation, and the ability to command control of a crowd. She kept our wedding day on schedule and running smoothly, even with a large family and bridal party. It was important to us to not have our wedding day feel like a photo shoot, and not to have our photographers imposing on the experience of our guests, and somehow Aimee and her team were able to do just that while capturing the fun, joy, love, and beauty of our wedding day.
Having recently been married herself, she brings not only an expert vendor perspective, but the perspective of the guests of honor. She and her team left no stone unturned to make us look and feel our best on our wedding day. From the little things, such as having a glass of water handy for us after our couples portraits and carrying my dress train so it didn’t drag to helping us find small moments of privacy and calm during the wedding, she truly goes above and beyond to capture the day while making everyone feel comfortable and fabulous. She was always available pre-wedding to walk through logistics, answer questions and provide advice, and has taken our questions, feedback, and edit requests in stride post-wedding. Our posed and candid wedding photos are truly perfect thanks to her and we’ve gotten so many compliments from family and friends about her work and her delightful presence on wedding day. Aimee is the best of the best!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
Aimee is awesome, no, Awesome (please note the capital "A."). We worked together a couple months back and it was a complete pleasure. A fantastic down-to-Earth personality and an incredible eye for capturing the perfect moments. Aimee rocks!
