Everything We Dreamed

Angelika completely exceeded our expectations and was everything we dreamed of in a wedding photographer. Our friends and family still rave about the photos which turned out so so well. From our very first conversation, she made us feel completely comfortable, and during our engagement shoot she helped us come out of our shells in such a natural way which carried over into the actual day.

Throughout the entire process, she was always just a text away for questions, ideas, or inspiration. She perfectly captured the vibe we were hoping for—a beautiful mix of candid moments and editorial-style shots—and somehow also captured moments we didn’t even realize we wanted. On the wedding day, her bubbly personality instantly put everyone at ease, which made the whole experience feel effortless and fun. We truly couldn’t recommend Angelika more highly.

Talented Photographer

We could not be happier with our wedding and engagement photos! We had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the start, Angelika was friendly and brought such a positive attitude that immediately put us at ease. Neither of us are naturally comfortable in front of a camera (and my husband was dreading the idea), but Angelika was amazing at guiding us through poses and making everything feel relaxed and natural during our engagement shoot. The photos are amazing.

On the wedding day, Angelika’s calm and upbeat energy made a huge difference. I now understand the reason for a first look (instead of touch), but after the ceremony when we planned to take portraits and family photos, there was a lot going on. However, Angelika kept things running smoothly, captured all the important moments, and never made us feel rushed. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. We are beyond happy with how she captured our emotions, the details, and overall feel of the day.

I am so grateful that we chose Angelika as our photographer for this significant moment. She delivered the sneak peaks quickly, and we had our wedding photos within three months of the wedding. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone talented, professional, and genuinely great to work with. We will cherish these photos forever! Thank you, Angelika!

So wonderful to work with for our commitment ceremony!

Angelika was amazing and everything I could have asked for! I had been following her work for awhile and she was my first call when I was planning our commitment ceremony. We had a non traditional event and Angelika was so flexible and accommodating to what we had in mind. She was so easy to work with and we absolutely LOVED how our photos came out. 10/10 would recommend!

Flawless Wedding Day Coverage with Warmth and Perfection! 5+ Stars

Jerry and I want to extend our sincerest thanks and deepest appreciation for the absolutely stunning work you did capturing our daughter's wedding day!
Katie has admired your work for years, dreaming of having you as her wedding photographer. It was truly a dream come true to finally work with you! From the very first call, even before Katie and Jon's engagement photoshoot, we knew you were something incredibly special. You possess a unique gift and warmth that made Katie and Jon (all of us!!!) feel completely at ease and comfortable in front of your camera, which is no small feat!
Your coverage of the wedding day was simply flawless, and the sneak peek you sent exceeded our wildest dreams. No detail was left uncovered; you captured every smile, every tear, and every joyful moment organically and beautifully and all while blending in with our guests in a completely non-obtrusive way! You truly brought all the special moments to life with your incredible talent and artistry. Our entire family will treasure these images forever, and they will undoubtedly be cherished by future generations to come. Thank you for perfectly preserving the joy of their wedding day. We wish you continued success and are thrilled to be able to support you and your business in the future!

The Cheerleader and Photographer You Need for Your Wedding Day

Angelika truly made our wedding celebration special. For an unexpected 12 hour shoot, she maintained high energy levels throughout the day. She was thoughtful and creative in every photography decision. She was honest and gave great direction on posing.
Through the process leading up, Angelika was personable and responsive. We had great conversations and collaboration on the vision for the day. I cannot recommend her enough!

Simply THE best!

Hiring Angelika was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process. She was the first and only photographer we interviewed, because I knew she was the right choice within 5 min of talking with her. She makes you feel comfortable and like you’ve known her forever, which is SO important if you’re shy in front of the camera like myself and my husband. She made our engagement session and our wedding SO MUCH fun by hyping us up and really making us look and feel beautiful. The finished album is amazing! We have received SO many compliments on both our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos—they are truly magazine worthy due to her talent. I would recommend Angelika to anyone for any occasion, but especially for your wedding. Having her by our side on our wedding day was truly a pleasure and I wish we could relive that day over and over again. Thank you Angelika, from the bottom of our hearts!!

Engagement session of my dreams

Angelika absolutely blew us away with our engagement shoot gallery -- they are simply gorgeous (and we can't wait to share them on our wedding websites and save the dates)!

Before the shoot, we connected to align on vision and inspiration for the shoot, and WOW she delivered a gallery better than I ever could have imagined. Everything about the shoot felt so custom and specific to us. She makes you feel like you're her most important and only client.

Shooting with Angelika felt like a date night for my fiancé and me. She captured our love so perfectly and naturally. Angelika made us feel so comfortable and it really shows in the photos. Her energy and warmth made it so easy for us to just be “us.”

We are so lucky to have her artistic vision and extraordinary talent to savor these special moments, and we cannot wait to work with her again on our wedding day. Let the countdown begin!!

Thanks again for everything, Angelika—we are so thrilled!!!!

Stress free experience

It was a pleasure working with Angelika and her team during our wedding day. Angelika made us felt at ease while shooting our photos and did a phenomenal job despite the tough sunlight and the change of settings (from outdoor to indoor and vice versa). Professional and fun to work with.

Absolute Gem, Graceful Professional, Positive Joy and Exceptional Eye - Wholeheartedly Recommend AJPhotography!

Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend Angelika for any photo needs! She is an absolute gem and easily one of our favorite wedding vendors! Angelika is an exceptional photographer, skillfully and gracefully capturing both our engagement and wedding day with her incredible eye for detail, candids, joy, and special intimate moments. Her positive energy and calm professionalism set her apart.

Angelika went above an beyond to support us throughout the process - I was initially very overwhelmed by choosing a photographer and had no idea what to do for an e-shoot or vision. From sharing inspo photos and suggesting outfits to proposing fantastic locations for our shoots, she played such a critical role in making all our choices easier. The questionnaires she provided before both the e-shoot and wedding day were invaluable, helping us clarify what was most important to us as a couple.

Communication was consistent, positive, and timely. She not only addressed all of our questions but also alleviated any concerns with brilliant strategies and contingency plans for unexpected situations, such as snow, wind, or even 60mph winds for our February wedding! (Turned out sunny and gorgeous!) The day-of, we felt confident Angelika could handle any hiccups that may arise, though, truthfully, we were blissfully unaware of any issues if there were any! :) The sneak peak photos were mindblowing, and she's helped us narrow down to create our wedding album, too!

Our family and friends also loved working with Angelika, and we all said we felt an instant connection with her. Having Angelika Johns capture such a special time in our lives was truly a blessing. We are eternally grateful for the memories she helped us to create. You absolutely want to choose Angelika for your own special day!! Hands down.

Angelika is insanely talented and the best of the best!

Angelika photographed my wedding day (and many other life events!) at The Granary at Valley Pike. She is insanely talented and I truly believe she is one of the best around! She pays close attention to detail, effortlessly captures every second of the day, beautifully poses you in a way that isn't stiff or out of style, and delivers a gallery FULL of images to relive the best day of your life. She is so good at capturing the perfect mix of candid and in the moment photos, but also capture the classic portraits with all your favorite people. Not only is she an incredible photographer, she truly becomes your friend too! She is so kind and full of life, makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and helps with any questions you have on the wedding day and in the planning process. Angelika is one of the most amazing people I have ever met and I quite literally tell all of my friends about her. I could rave about her for days! If there's one right decision to make for your wedding day, it's to hire Angelika to capture your best day. 1000/10 recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
