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!

Fantastic!

Absolutely amazing! I highly recommend. The weather was touch and go and he was not only flexible, but helpful. He made sure that we had gorgeous pictures that captured how special the day was. Professional and friendly. He went above and beyond to help the day go smoothly. My sister used him for her wedding as well and also had an excellent experience with him.

Go with AJ!

I can’t recommend AJ’s Photography enough! From the moment Allen arrived, he took care of everything, making the entire day feel effortless and helping us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. His turnaround time is incredible, we received preview photos so quickly, and our full gallery wasn’t far behind. Every single photo is absolutely stunning, and we’ve received endless compliments on them. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and truly goes above and beyond, AJ’s Photography is the one. 100/10 recommend for your next event!

Five Stars Isn’t Enough

I cannot say enough wonderful things about AJ’s Photography. From the very beginning, Allen was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He took the time to guide us through every step of the process, patiently answered all of our questions, and truly made an effort to understand our vision for the wedding day. We felt supported, confident, and genuinely cared for from start to finish.

On our wedding day, we were so fortunate to have Laura as our photographer. She arrived with such calm confidence and immediately took charge in the best way possible, knowing exactly how to bring our vision to life. Her direction was clear, efficient, and so well-organized that we moved seamlessly through portraits, bridal party photos, and family pictures - giving us more than enough time to actually relax and enjoy cocktail hour between the ceremony and reception. She was endlessly patient, kind, and intentional, making sure every important shot on our list was captured beautifully. So many of our family and bridal party commented on how smooth, quick, and stress-free the entire photo process felt.

Our videographer, Kristy, was equally incredible. She had a way of being everywhere at once while still blending into the background, capturing every meaningful moment of the reception without ever feeling intrusive. She was kind, thoughtful, and always one step ahead, anticipating moments we didn’t even realize we’d want to remember. It was clear she genuinely cared about making our day as special and seamless as possible.

We were married on Friday, July 24, and we were absolutely blown away by how quickly we received our highlight reel and a gallery of photos. The quality is breathtaking, and watching the highlight video brought the entire day rushing back to life in the most emotional and beautiful way.

I truly could not have imagined a better photography and videography team. The kindness, professionalism, communication, and artistry of everyone at AJ’s Photography are unmatched. A heartfelt thank you to Allen for making the planning process so effortless, and to Laura and Kristy for capturing our wedding day with such care, talent, and heart. I would recommend AJ’s Photography to any couple without hesitation - you will be in the very best hands.

10/10 recommend AJ’s photography and videography

AJ and his team are truly the best in the business. The quality of both the photos and video exceeded every expectation. They perfectly balanced the timeless, traditional shots that every couple wants with the most incredible candid moments that truly captured the joy, laughter, and love of the day. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the entire wedding all over again.
Not only are they unbelievably talented, but they're also calm, professional, and so easy to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better team to document one of the most important days of our lives. If you're on the fence, book them, you won't regret it.

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.
