Danielle and Brian DiStasi Wedding
All I can say is WOW! Allen and his crew were absolutely AMAZING! From our very first phone call through the wedding day, Allen was honest, transparent, and always reassuring. As a bride, he truly put things into perspective, calmed my nerves, and reminded us that our day would be nothing short of beautiful.
Allen knew exactly which photos to capture — from us as a couple to the bridal party and every detail in between. He created such a relaxed atmosphere and kept us smiling the entire day. We even chose to shoot at two venues, and he never once rushed us, making sure we got every shot we wanted.
His photographer, Logan, was also wonderful — so sweet and attentive, capturing all the right moments perfectly.
I cannot recommend Allen and AJ’s Photography enough. They made our wedding memories unforgettable!
Thank you Allen and Logan!

The best photographer!
HIGHLY recommend AJ's Photography! Allen is extremely talented and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is professional, responsive and knows exactly how to get the perfect shots. He went above and beyond the traditional role of a photographer, cutting tags off my dress and shoes when we were behind schedule. He also graciously stayed for an extra hour when we weren't ready for him to leave. Our photos are so stunning and we will look back at them with tears of joy for the rest of our lives. Allen captured every moment so wonderfully, completely exceeding our expectations. We really can't say enough great things about him... he's the best!

Professional and Timeless
If you want a seasoned professional, Allen from AJ’s Photography is it! He did an absolutely amazing job capturing our wedding day! The photos are timeless and full of emotion. Every shot tells our story perfectly. Our 3½-hour wedding video is incredible, highlighting all the best moments and making it feel like we’re reliving the day all over again.
Allen is professional, kind, and so easy to work with. He was realistic with timelines, shared his wisdom and was flexible. Many of our friends and family have also worked with him, and everyone agrees that he’s simply the best! If you want breathtaking photos and a video that truly captures the magic of your day, we can’t recommend Allen enough.

Picture Perfect Day!
AJ’s Photography has been great to work with, from start to finish. Allen is very nice, precise, informative and organized. He was always available for questions and made the process smooth and easy. He is great with keeping you on track with deadlines and sending reminders. Laura, our photographer was amazing! She arrived on time, scoped out the venue and was ready to go. She is very attentive to detail, helpful with positioning and finds picture perfect locations to capture all the special moments. Kristie, our videographer was great capturing our wedding day! Jessica, who ran our photo booth for the reception was great! Our guests had a lot of fun! Thank you to AJ’s Photography for excellent services.

I cannot say any more great things about Allen and AJ‘s photography! My husband, fiancé at the time, was frustrated with me when I told him the price of the photographer, but let’s face it. Men do not care about that stuff usually and they also don’t realize the value of something so important. Allen did so well with our photos and was there for hours on end making sure that we got exactly what we wanted and needed! Even my husband who was frustrated at first, was impressed and honestly amazed at how fast we got our photos back as well as Allen‘s personality, which fit in so well with us and our friends & family. He soon found that we were jokesters and could open up to his own sense of humor with us. He truly fit right in. I will forever cherish these moments captured by him!

Wowza. Allen was absolutely fantastic to work with from months before the wedding all the way through my wedding day. He made everything so easy and had great organization of it all! His pictures are stunning and a mix of portraits and candid fun which everyone wants to see. I would highly recommend him to have your wedding photos be a breeze and one less thing to stress about!

Highly recommend!
If you’re looking for a photographer who is extremely talented, customer service oriented, and is fun to work with, AJ’s is a fantastic choice. He captured our special day so well and is creative with his shots, with the ability to adapt and pivot his approach when challenges are presented during shoots (e.g., smaller kids being difficult, weather being finicky). He also managed to make us laugh a few times among the stress and nerves, with a great sense of humor. He’s really good at giving direction and guidance. He is a true professional and he was great all around! The assistant was also great. Between photography and videography, we found AJ’s to be a great value from a financial standpoint. He had preview photos and the highlight reel completed and delivered to us within two days of our wedding and they looked fantastic. Can’t recommend AJ’s enough!

The Best!!
Allen was incredible to work with! He was always quick to respond—even while on vacation—which shows just how dedicated he is. He was professional, easy to work with, and made taking photos feel effortless. He answered every question I had and went above and beyond throughout the entire process.
So many of our guests commented on how amazing he was, and I couldn’t agree more. We even had photos to look at the very same night! Allen keeps the day running smoothly, working seamlessly with the DJ and venue to stay on track. He truly knows what he’s doing, and he’ll make sure you look your best every step of the way.
If you are looking for a photographer for your special day or any occasion contact AJ's you won't be disappointed!
