The best decision you'll make
Future brides, one of the most important pieces of advice I can offer you as you plan your dream day is make sure that you love your photographer as much as you love your dress. I promise you're on track do just that after you finish reading all of these FIVE STAR reviews and book Aevitas Weddings. From our first email exchange to the big day itself, Henry was responsive, friendly, helpful, organized, attentive, and kind. He truly cares about his clients, and it shows -- I mean, he knew all of our parents by name! But his work truly speaks for itself. We could not be happier with our wedding photos. From the portraits to the candid moments, Henry captured every moment with both detail and whimsy. Thank you, Henry! -

Amazing job!
We worked with Henry this past fall for our wedding. We had contacted shortly prior, and knowing that we were pressed with time, Henry accepted! He made the whole process so smooth and easy - from engagement pictures to our tea ceremony and wedding, Henry not only took amazing photos, but helped with the flow of events!! He was very patient with our many friends and families pushing for more and more photos... thank you Henry! Very professional and dependable. Overall, great guy doing what he loves!
Thanks again, Henry! -

Amazing experience with Aevitas/Henry
Our search for the perfect photographer began with a list of companies provided to us by our wedding planner. We chose to work with Henry Chen at Aevitas Weddings because his style was the best fit for the vibe we were aiming for, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our decision. Henry was absolutely perfect from start to finish and completely surpassed our expectations. He understood that we wanted to eschew many conventional aspects of weddings but that ultimately, we still wanted to have a wedding. He also had extremely informative guides detailing exactly what we needed to do at each step and how we can ensure we are prepared, whether it was for the engagement photo session or for actual wedding day. Henry is also one of the most patient and truly kind individuals we have worked with - he constantly reassured us when we felt overwhelmed and stressed out by our schedule, and he made a tremendous effort to keep us at ease when there were a multitude of things going on at the same time. He also was just an awesome and pleasant person to hang around - he has mastered the art of arranging and taking our photos while still taking the time to have meaningful conversations and get to know our family, wedding party and friends.
One of the challenges that Henry handled with ease was incorporating our 90-pound German Shepherd Dog, Toffee, into both the engagement photo session and wedding day photos. Henry did a phenomenal job setting up the photos with Toffee, and it was not an easy task to get her to sit still and to look at the camera. Henry had to call her name constantly and try to get her attention, but his hard work paid off because he took some absolutely beautiful photos of her.
For our engagement photo shoot, Henry had helped us come up with a detailed itinerary for three different locations. A few days before the shoot, we suddenly had a change of heart and decided that we wanted to change up two of the locations - when we finally decided on which locations we wanted, it was already the day before the shoot. We wrote an apologetic email to Henry asking if it would be okay if we changed up some of the locations - not only was Henry very flexible and supportive, he also drove out to those locations on his own to scout them out the morning of the shoot. Our favorite photos from the shoot ended up being at a location (abandoned railroad tracks in South Los Angeles) that we found spontaneously because an accident had occurred where we were originally planning to shoot and we couldn't access the area. But all of this is a testament to Henry's professionalism and skill as a photographer in that he can roll with the punches and helped us come up with creative poses tho fit the surroundings of the area.
More nerve-wracking than the actual wedding day was all of the preparation leading up to the day. But Henry kept us on track by having us fill out a lengthy questionnaire that he then reviewed with us in detail for about an hour. The questionnaire and interview turned out to be pivotal tools for Henry to utilize in creating our final minute-by-minute schedule for wedding day. Then on the actual wedding day, we had rented a small apartment to get ready in; Henry fully utilized the space and also did a great job keeping the bridal party and groomsmen separated as much as possible. He was also especially accommodating because we didn't have a cocktail reception at our wedding, and so it was tremendously difficult to have to squeeze in photos with extended family members; we ended up having 20 different groups of family members and Henry handled the entire process so efficiently. During the actual wedding, Henry and his assistant were always nearby, ready to snap photos of us and our guests. He also worked extremely well with our videographer, making sure to ask our videographer if he had enough space to get the shots that he needed.
Lastly, we were beyond impressed by how quickly Henry presented our photos to us. Within two weeks of the wedding, Henry had published a sneak peek on his blog, with a detailed write-up of the entire day's events. We are so thrilled with how seriously Henry takes his job, knowing that he is a crucial part of our special day and all of the months of preparation leading up to the wedding. He kept us at ease in the midst of all the stress, made sure we were running on schedule, and most of all helped us enjoy the day as much as possible because we knew we didn't have to worry about our photos looking amazing. We definitely recommend Henry and Aevitas Weddings if you are looking for a truly amazing photographer who will also make your wedding experience as stress-free and fun as it can be. -

Great photos
Henry was awesome! We hired him for our wedding at the Mission Inn in Riverside and for our engagement shoot. He is very kind and professional. He made us feel very comfortable during our shoot, which was important for us because we've never participated in a photo shoot before.
The pictures came out great. Our family and friends loved the photos.
During the wedding he even stayed passed his contracted time to make sure he captured all our important moments.
He is very professional, committed to his work, and has a great artistic eye for photos! -

best decision for wedding photographer
As a professional photographer I was very anxious about finding a photographer for my own wedding. I was so incredibly lucky to have found Henry at Aevitas weddings. He was not only an amazing photographer but he was an incredibly helpful part of my wedding. He spent a long video call with me helping me choose a location for portraits, he was came early and he was very kind. I could not recommend him enough. -

Highly recommend!!
My husband and I are extremely happy to have chosen Henry to capture the highlights of our small, but intimate celebration. Aevitas Weddings was actually the most expensive vendor we had booked for our little wedding––and to us, he was worth every dime we paid for!
Henry was extremely professional throughout the entire time, and it was clear how hard he worked both as a professional photographer and as a wedding vendor to ensure that we were as comfortable and stress-free on our happy day as possible. Most people had even come up to me after our event, commenting on how lovely he was, and how much they were looking forward to the end products after seeing how skillfully he directed and organized people for shots, photos, candids, and even the spontaneous request or two. When we finally got all of our images from him on his website, no words can describe how blown away we and our families and friends were by how beautifully they turned out.
Photography is sadly one thing that people overlook when planning for a wedding. In the process of choosing vendors, many of my own friends and family had even suggested that I find a cheaper alternative, or rely on someone in the party to take the photos instead. After both the fun, stress-free experience that Henry had provided, as well as receiving such wonderful photos, I can safely say that going with a professional like Aevitas Weddings was the right choice for us. I'll happily recommend Henry to anyone who wants to have a good experience and to have beautiful keepsakes that they can treasure for years to come.-

Our best vendor -- hands-down
Aevitas Weddings (Henry Chen) was the first vendor we booked after locking down our wedding venue. My husband, Ronnie, and I planned our Southern California wedding from New York and Henry went above and beyond to assure that we could be comfortable and confident in our choice in him as our wedding photographer. Communication with Henry was as effortless as could be – he even went so far as to ask if there is any way he could help or offer advice when it came to other aspects of the planning process!
His presence in his e-mails was friendly and professional off-the-bat, asking more about us, how my husband and I met, etc. Closer to our wedding date, we set up a video call where Henry made sure to learn of any specific shots we wanted, any particular family dynamics he should be made aware of, and the like. It made working with him on our big day all the more comfortable and stress-free.
Throughout the wedding itself, Henry and his assistant, Travis, were exceptional. The finished photo products were proof that my husband and I had made the right choice in choosing Henry and Aevitas Weddings to capture our most beautiful, important moments from our big day. I would recommend Henry to anyone looking for stunning, timeless pictures that you can love and cherish for a lifetime.

Amazing photographer who also inadvertently helps to run the show!
Henry and his team did all the photography for our wedding and I can honestly say that they are WONDERFUL. Extremely professional and maintain laser focus on delivering your wedding photos regardless of what other chaos may lurk in the background.
Henry made an effort to try and get to know my husband and me before the wedding (we lived across the country so this took place via video calls) so he got a good grasp of how we interact. He also took care to learn about our families and different dynamics.
We appreciate all the care he took into capturing special moments AND oftentimes, corralling us along as needed. It was actually really handy!

We Are So Lucky to Have Found Henry!
Words can not express how thankful my husband and I are that we found Henry! While we were searching for wedding photographers, Henry's photos stood out to me as being vibrant and captivating. To put it simply, I was blown away! When I contacted him, I was greeted with positivity and genuine excitement. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, he was always there for me and my husband, and that meant a lot to us!
We did our engagement photos with him as well as our wedding photos, and every picture he took captured a different memory. During the event, Henry was warm, patient and professional. We received the highest of compliments from our guests about how kind Henry and his assistant were! My husband and I are so lucky to have had Henry be our wedding photographer! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would :)-

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!
We will never have enough words of gratitude for Henry and his team. He blew us away from the very beginning and he never once let us down.

Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts Henry! We will always highly recommend you and your team. -

A true professional
My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Henry as our photographer. He was extremely professional in every sense of the word. Originally, we went with Aevitas/Henry solely because we like style of the photographer, not expecting much. However, we were pleasantly surprised at how professional Henry was. Henry was every organized and extremely easy to work with. He pretty much organized all our meetings, shootings, and follow ups. He even had quicks tips and questionnaires to try to get to know us! We never had to stress out about it at all (which took a huge load off our mind!). If anything, he was the one that was urging us to stick to schedule. Another thing, we really valued how patient and hardworking he was. We didn’t have a wedding organizer on the day of and we were running behind schedule. Henry was able to organize everyone for group photos, even though he didn’t know a shred of Vietnamese. Much appreciated!
TLDR: He is very professional, organize and very easy to work with. We highly recommend Henry/Aevitas.

Amazing engagement and wedding photo experience
My husband and I chose Aevitas Weddings for our engagement and wedding photos and could not be happier! Henry is very kind, organized, personable, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He was very responsive to email, masterfully set up the perfect amount of communication leading up to the wedding so we stayed in sync, and answered all our questions with ease. I was honestly blown away by the quality of our photos, and his ability to make us comfortable in front of the camera. He was punctual, listened to what we wanted, made it fun and short (neither my husband nor I enjoy taking pictures), and kept us stress free on our wedding day. His assistant was wonderful as well, I'm so pleased with the service and grateful for them! Hire Aevitas, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts Henry, we appreciate you! -

Excellent photographer!
Choosing Henry as our photographer for our special day was easily the best decision!!
As any newly engaged couples know, wedding planning can get very overwhelming, very quickly. After perusing The Knot, WeddingWire, HereComesTheGuide, and Yelp, I contacted multiple photographers, and Henry from Aevitas Wedding was the first one we interviewed via FaceTime. From our first conversation, it felt like talking to an old friend. Henry asked about how my fiancé and I met, and what our vision for the wedding was, and articulately answered my long list of questions for him. We ultimately chose Aevitas Wedding because we loved the sample photo gallery, we appreciated the many years of experience, and we were blown away by Henry's attention to detail and attentiveness to our needs. Henry's organization & accessibility helped put my mind at ease.
We did an engagement session, with multiple locations in Pasadena/LA area. Henry went early to our first location, only to find out that a movie was being filmed there, and we would have to improvise and go with a secondary location. By showing up early, Henry helped diffuse the situation and quickly recommended a contingency plan. It could have been a disaster, but thanks to Henry's calm & collected manner, it went so well. The photoshoot felt effortless, and Henry made my fiancé and I feel so at ease. We loved the way our engagement photos came out!
On the day of the wedding, Henry and his assistants did a spectacular job with our multiple locations (getting ready - church wedding - reception), and working within our timeline. Henry even took the time to learn the names of family members, so that he was able to ask for them by name when taking group photos. I thought that was a very thoughtful and personal touch. Henry also provided a PDF of tips to help photos run smoothly on the day-of, as well as a comprehensive questionnaire to go over all the details. When there was slight schedule change at the church, Henry offered to swing by the church a week prior to our wedding to scope out the surrounding area for alternate photo-ops for our first look. Henry runs his business efficiently and provides a personal touch that we really appreciated. The full wedding photo gallery was available within a month from our wedding. There were so many gorgeous photos! We didn't provide a detailed "shot list", but Henry and his assistants were able to capture all of the big and small details of our big day. We wanted photos that captured the essence of our wedding day, and photos that looked natural and not too posed, and Henry and his team delivered just that, and more!
Thank you Henry for all your hard work, and for being one of our favorite wedding vendors! You helped our day go by so smoothly and captured the memories of our "best day ever" for years to come. -

Aevitas Weddings is the best
We cannot say enough good things about Henry and his team! If you are looking for someone to photograph your big day, look no further. Henry spent a lot of time getting to know us and learning about our wedding vision. Henry is one of the most organized people I have ever met and he clearly knows what he's doing. Leading up to our wedding day we were provided with a very detailed timeline that covered all of the important moments we discussed. On the day of, he wrangled our giant wedding party and family and got every single picture we wanted and kept us on schedule! Henry was calm, cool, and professional the entire night. Many guests noticed his skill and thoroughness when covering the night. The attention to detail when capturing portraits is second to none. We are so lucky that Aevitas Photography was there to capture our wedding! -

Simply the BEST!
Henry is absolutely beyond amazing! My husband and I are so thankful that he shot our wedding. Henry is a true professional and extremely talented. He knows how to get all the best pictures and really made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. To say our wedding pictures (and engagement pictures) turned out stunning would be a huge understatement - our families can't stop raving about them!. -

Wedding Photography
Henry, you are nothing short of amazing! After many hours of searching for the perfect photographer to capture our wedding, my husband and I decided to put our trust in Henry. We did a phone interview with him I knew we had to book him immediately. He is the nicest most genuine person and I can’t be happier to have found him.
His photos are absolutely beautiful and I loved that he has extensive experience photographing weddings of so many different cultures. I am from an Iranian background and he knew the meaning and significance of our culturally traditions and made sure to capture those moments for us.
Henry flew in for the day to do our Engagement photos in San Francisco. We had a very fun day taking photos in multiple different locations. After seeing our engagement photos I was elated and could not wait to see pictures of our wedding.
Our wedding was in Sacramento, CA on a very hot day. Henry worked tirelessly to make sure he captured the most amazing photos of us. You can truly tell that he loves what he does and wants to make the experience fun while getting the most photos time will allow. Countless wedding guest complemented him and said they have never seen such a nice and hard working photographer.
Aside from his raw talent, Henry is meticulously organized. Something I personally needed. He helped redo my entire wedding timeline and I am so glad I took his advice on everything. There is now wonder why he has so many happy clients. -

Best Wedding Photographer!!!!
Where do we even begin. My husband and I met Henry back in November 2017 when he shot our engagement photos. He was easy to talk to and you could tell he genuinely cared about the couple he was working with. Henry asked us questions about our relationship and how we met so he could really understand us as a couple. We spent our afternoon in Malibu taking photos, and for something that could be so awkward, Henry made us feel like he was our friend and made the process so smooth! Our photos came out incredibly and we decided to hire him again for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding!
Henry is AMAZING. He works quickly, is creative, and takes BEAUTIFUL photos. He never felt like he was in our way. Our wedding photos are even more amazing than I could have dreamed of. We loved working with Henry and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer!
We can't thank him enough for everything he has done!

Santa Monica in December
We would highly recommend you choosing Henry for your wedding photos. Planning for your wedding can be extremely stressful with hundreds of details to discuss and decide on. We were truly blessed to find Henry based off a friend’s recommendation and his online reviews. They were spot on! He gave us such a relief and comfort. We knew that he had us covered and would not disappoint us. He was extremely thorough during our initial consultation and throughout the time leading up to the special day. He and his team were prompt and timely making sure we stayed on schedule during our wedding day. He and his team went the extra mile to make sure we captured the scenic pier in Santa Monica right before we walked down the aisle. Henry and team captured some amazing photos of our special day that included First Look photos, ceremony and reception photos. We were also so pleasantly surprised to have our photos in just a few weeks. Henry and his team were amazing, and you will not be disappointed. This should be one of the easiest decisions you make. -

Happiest! Couldn’t have found a better photographer.
Aevitas Weddings!!! Simply the best in the business! Henry embodies everything you hope to find in an amazing photographer and person, truly understanding and professional, always kind to our vision. He is worth every penny and so much more! From the first email we exchanged, he was very knowledgeable, quick to respond to any and all of my questions. He made us not only feel at ease but welcomed and comfortable working with him. He doesn’t just snap away pictures, he genuinely wants to get to know you. He takes amazing notes and remembers everyone’s names. He shows up prepared and happy to be there. This makes a world of difference. So many people we know complimented our engagement pictures, and especially for our wedding day. He blended perfectly in the background to capture candid moments. We can not recommend Henry enough! He is extremely talented, humble and very kind! We loved ALL our pictures he captured, I cried reliving our day, because you see the love and emotion in our pictures, we couldn’t have asked for any more. Henry you are by far the epitome of what the best photographer is!!! Anyone lucky enough to book you is truly fortunate! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
❤️ Michelle and Ricardo Ybarra-

Phenomenal!!
It is extremely hard to express in a few words the amount of appreciation and gratitude I have for Henry and the extraordinary work and effort he put into not only shooting my wedding but also in getting to know my husband and I before our big day. As an active duty military member stationed outside of California, he made the “long distance” process extremely easy and so comfortable. Henry was recommended by a family friend and although we had never met prior to our wedding day, he went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable with him, whether it was FaceTime or over the phone conversations. (and that was just -pre-wedding day) On our wedding day, he knew the timeline to a T, knew all my immediate family’s’ names and also got every shot I “wanted” plus a hundred more that were amazing!! I received the photos within a few short weeks and “pleased” is an understatement. The entire process with Henry was beyond smooth and I could not be happier. I would recommend him for your wedding 1000x over! -

Highly Recommend!
Henry was amazing. Going into the wedding planning, I knew photography was one of my top 3 priorities. My wedding was indoors, in a very moody, low lit atmosphere, as well as outdoors at night on top of a building. I needed someone who had an eye and experience with that kind of environment, and photos that were crisp, full of color, and hit the right light notes. I had done a lot of research using the typical wedding websites, like The Knot and Wedding Wire, as well as other wedding sites offering possible candidates for our day. I was simply able to stumble upon him through other people's reviews. ***Let me note here that we were planning a "hometown destination wedding", and I didn't have the luxury of meeting any of the photographers face-to-face - but when Henry sent me a video via email with his response to my insane list of upfront questions within a few days, I knew I had found the guy to capture our wedding. We had already interviewed several people, and Henry just had this genuineness to him that was irresistible. He asked questions that were personal and intimate, which made me realize he genuinely cared not only about getting the job done right and well, but also about us, and how we were feeling.
Henry was professional to the max. We did everything via email (my preferred method due to my line of work), and he made it seamless. I met him the day of, and he was so sincere and positive during the whole shebang. He was adaptable to our timeline - it had to be adjusted a couple of times - and while some of my photo requests were a little out of the box, he ran with it. He was a pleasure to work with, and I would absolutely hire him again for another large event.
I got my photos a few weeks later, and they are absolutely stunning. There are some bloopers that I LOVE (and my bridesmaids, ha), so not only did he capture the importance of the day through the portraits, but also the funny, silly moments when I thought no one was looking.
Highly recommend! -

Wedding Photographer
We chose Henry as our wedding photographer based on his solid 5 star reviews on weddingwire and yelp. It was the best decision we ever made. From the very beginning, Henry made us feel comfortable -- he got to know us first and let us know all the important tips for engagement and wedding photography. He was more than accommodating in every aspect. When we first took our engagement photos in April, he took the time to help us get as many beautiful photos as possible and always was prompt with time. He was responsive to all our questions and concerns and was always reaching out to us regarding what to expect and how he could be of any assistance to us. His work is amazing and he is great at directing people on how to pose properly for photos. On our wedding day, Henry showed up on time and ready to go! He helped everyone in managing time and was accommodating to everyone. All of our family members and friends raved about how thorough and hard working he was! We are so happy that we chose Henry to capture the most important day of our life! Thank you Henry for you constant upbeat attitude, your helpful words of advice and your unwavering patience!!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! You won't be disappointed. -

Truly the best
Henry's photos speak for themselves; he creates amazing art with his camera and manages to capture every detail that makes each couple's wedding special and unique. Our wedding was bright, joyous, and full of color, and he tailored his style to portray it perfectly. His photos not only preserve how everything looked, but also how we FELT on the best day of our lives. We got our beautiful posed portraits, sure, but some of our most treasured photos are the candid ones – the ones that show me ugly-crying during our first look and my ever-calm husband wiping the tears from my eyes, the ones that show us laughing uproariously during the best man’s speech, the ones that show us skyping with a would-be groomsman who couldn’t make it. Maybe those aren’t the ones we frame (we certainly have plenty of frame-worthy ones too), but they comprise an honest and intimate portrayal of our wedding. Every smile, every tear, every gasp, every heartbeat skipped– Henry caught it all on camera so we can truly relive that day over and over. Our memories may fade, but these photos will always bring those emotions rushing back.
What you can't see from Henry’s photos is Henry himself: approachable, accommodating, reassuring, encouraging, and professional. While there are many stressful things about having a wedding, we never had a single concern about Henry. We knew his photos would be amazing from his portfolio, but he went so far above and beyond our expectations. Throughout the planning process, he basically filled the role of photographer, wedding planner, and day-of coordinator. He responded to our many emails promptly, went through our many spreadsheets, and worked with us to create our day-of timeline. We had a morning wedding, so getting started early and staying on schedule was critical. On the day of, he texted me when he arrived, made sure everyone was where they needed to be, stuck to the timeline, and somehow managed to organize our big and complicated families into perfectly coordinated group photos. After the wedding, we even dragged him to Santa Monica Pier for a fun photoshoot in the sunset lighting. Henry always felt like just another close friend spending the day with us. Walking around the crowded pier and riding the ferris wheel in my wedding dress while posing for pictures was one of the most abnormal things I've ever done, but he made it feel normal. And because it felt normal, we were comfortable just being ourselves, and that’s how he was able to use his talents to capture our candid emotions and preserve them forever. We feel so lucky that we found Henry just as word was getting out that he's truly the best there is! -

Looking for an amazing and professional photographer to capture those special moments? Choose Henry!
We can't say enough about Henry as a person and as a photographer. Our wedding was particularly stressful as we were planning for a ceremony/reception in LA while we were finishing up school in Baltimore, MD. Henry was fantastic at communicating with us to figure out what we wanted, which was incredibly important since we weren't going to have a videographer. After seeing the photos, we firmly believe the videographer would have been superfluous given the amazing photos Henry and his team were able to capture.
If you still aren't convinced, here are extra reasons why we chose Henry:
1) He shoots in a wide range of styles. His portfolio has the traditional bright and cheery photos of most wedding photographers but also has some bold and dramatic black and white shots with lots of contrast.
2) He was so on top of his game that we never once had to ask him for any information or tell him where to go. This was a deal-breaker given our distance planning.
3) His prices were affordable and his work more than merits the cost.
4) He got us photos after only two or three weeks, which is lightspeed in terms of professional photography, especially given we had over a thousand photos to sift through!
5) Henry and his team are super professional. Kind of a given, but on the day of when things are hectic, when family members are becoming demanding, when the church coordinator is springing new rules on us...Henry and his team adapted well and were amiable and professional during the entire day.
At the end of the day, Henry and his team not only got us great photos at a great price but were also genuinely fun to work with. All of our smiles in our photographs are completely genuine, which always makes for the best photos! -

Best photographer ever!
Henry is so easy to work with and such a nice guy! He also takes a lot of pride in his work so he is very thorough and takes the time to make sure he knows what his clients want. He captured so many precious memories with my husband and our families. Even our guests were commenting on how impressed they were with Henry. Highly recommend!!!! You will not be disappointed! -

Amazing Photographer
I am an event manager in San Francisco and have worked with tons of photographers and I can honestly say Henry surpassed all of my expectations. He helped make our wedding such a special day and we love the photos. His attention to detail was impressive and we appreciated the Skype calls he set up with us in advance. He made sure we were on time throughout the entire day and having him manage the timeline allowed me to enjoy the day so much more. As I’ve told Henry- event professionals only dream of working with people like him. I wish he lived closer so I would work with him more often! -

Beyond amazing!
If you are in the search for the perfect wedding photographer...stop here! Henry and his team are amazing. From the day we decided to go with Henry, he was a pleasure to work with. He was amazing to work with at our engagement shoot in Joshua Tree National Park in 2017, and he did an incredible job on our wedding day in August of this year. His skills with the camera are one thing, but his planning and communication were beyond amazing. The angels, colors and shades of his photos are incredible.
Henry is extremely easy to work with. He comes prepared and is so friendly to work with. On our wedding day, he made things so easy for us!
The one thing that we loved about working with Henry and the Aevitas team, was that Henry is passionate about what he does. From the day you meet him, you really get a sense of his passion and commitment to making sure you get photos you love, and an experience worth treasuring forever.
Without a doubt, we would recommend Henry to anyone looking for their next wedding photographer! The quality of work is beyond amazing.
Thanks Henry and Aevitas Weddings! -

5 stars - absolutely would recommend Henry!
We found Henry through our wedding planner - and were completely impressed by his whole approach to the process and the wonderful photos of our wedding day. He is extremely detail oriented and organized, and a great communicator. He took time to get to know us in order to make sure everything went smoothly for the photos prior to the big day. On the wedding day, he and his assistant Jove were efficient and easy to get along with - and most importantly got some amazing photos while avoiding intruding too much into our ability to entertain and enjoy during the reception. We were married at the Redondo Beach Historic Library, which Henry knows inside and out - and captured some particularly beautiful sunset photos in locations only someone who has worked the venue many times would know to get. Absolutely would work with him again! -

Incredible!
Choosing a wedding photographer is difficult. After all, this team is responsible for documenting one of the most memorable days in your life! After seeing the beautiful work that Henry and his team did at my best friend's wedding, my husband and I didn't have to look any further! He was so on top of our wedding timeline, ensured that he captured all of the portraits and candid moments, was absolutely pleasant to work with, and above all, captured every moment so beautifully! Not only were my husband and I pleased with Henry and his team but our parents were raving about him and his professionalism after the wedding. Even more so, when we got the photos! We couldn't have imagined our wedding any other way! Thank you, Henry and the Aevitas team for making our day even better by creating such beautiful photos that we will cherish forever and share with our future children. -

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Henry as our photographer for our wedding.. and let me tell you how AMAZING he is at what he does. We found him through the work he did for our cousins wedding a couple years ago, and after seeing how beautiful their wedding photos were, we knew we had to have him for our special day. Thank God we did because not only were our wedding photos absolutely beautiful, Henry was also able to really become a helping hand for me during my wedding.
While working with Henry, he sent us a questionnaire as a way to get to know us better, which I really appreciated. It made our E-Session fun, knowing that he knew what we were about and what we wanted. For our wedding he also wanted to know who's who. And I can tell he really went through it because he was able to talk to my bridesmaids easily by knowing each and everyone's names.
I can't tell you how much of a big part Henry was during our special day. He went above and beyond to make sure our expectations were met and then some. The schedule he drafted and the timely manner he delivered things were excellent. The level of professionalism that Henry provided is something that not too many people can possess. Out of all of our vendors, Henry was the one that stood out the most. We're so glad that we chose him and we're so grateful for his hard work!! -

Your search for a wedding photographer should stop here. Henry is amazing!! From our engagement shoot to our wedding photos, he went above-and-beyond our expectations. Henry's photos have character and vibrance. They are nicely structured without being unnatural, and they really capture the moment. Henry did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. From the beginning, he sat down with us to talk and get to know us. He really cared about understanding us as a couple, which put us at ease to take pictures. He works very fast, both in taking photos and in post-production. We got hundreds of photos from our engagement session and nearly 1500 photos from our wedding, and he turned both sets around in a matter of weeks. He was easy to work with, accommodating, professional, and kind. We are so happy we had Henry as our photographer. Thanks to him, we will cherish our photos forever. Thank you, Henry!!-

If we could give Aevitas Wedding more stars we would!! Kenny and I were lucky enough to have the opportunity to have Henry as our wedding photographer. Before reaching out to Henry I was doing some research on wedding photographers. I came across Henry’s website and was in love with his work and how he was able to capture special wedding moments from his photos. So we reached out to Henry in hopes he was available on our wedding day, and he was available! After providing some details to Henry, Kenny and I met Henry at his lovely house. Henry asked about details of the wedding and getting to know us as a couple and answering any questions we had for him prior to booking him. That same night, after our meeting we booked Henry ;) (BEST DECISION EVER). Henry was always there to help us with any questions we had to make our wedding planning easier. He sent us tips/advice and a questionnaire to help prepare the wedding party and also him and his team for the wedding day photos. Henry is very professional and he will do his best to provide the bride and groom with what they want. Henry is very organized and we had a meeting via facetime about two weeks before the wedding day. Our wedding had about 420 guest and it was a traditional Vietnamese wedding, which is 12+ hours. Henry made Kenny and I, as well as the wedding party feel so comfortable. Thank you so much Henry for capturing one of the best day of our lives. We feel so grateful and blessed to have you as our wedding photographer. We hope to have future photo sessions with you. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, Henry is the best choice! -

Henry is great. He is everything I was looking for in a photographer. He is completely on his game, professional, efficient, and a great communicator. He is very experienced and had great suggestions on how to structure our day and time our photos which were outdoors and on the beach. He even dealt very professionally with the ridiculous guy we had for an officiant. The photos were beautiful, great quality, and exactly what I was hoping for. My friends and family love our photos too. Thank you so much Henry, for photographing our wedding day and giving us memories to hold onto for a lifetime. -

We hired Henry to photograph our engagement session (February) and wedding this past July, and we were blown away by the sheer quantity of photos taken! We were also impressed by how beautifully the pictures were shot in such artistic lighting, Henry and his partner clearly have really good talent. Our wedding photography was the second most expensive item on our list after the cost of venue and food, but it was well worth it! Henry's fees are very reasonable and he really does put in the effort to get to know us. We met up in person once before we committed to hiring Henry (although I had pretty much decided to hire Henry from a referral before I contacted him). At the meeting, we went over the preliminary details of our wedding and Henry showed us some of his work. He is friendly and personable, which made us feel very comfortable to work with him. During the engagement session and wedding, it felt so easy and natural to follow all the tips from Henry about how to pose that it didn't feel awkward at all. Also, Henry and his team are very quick to returning the edited photos for us to download and print! In summary, the wedding day happened so quickly for us that we really didn't get to see many parts of the wedding, and we are so happy that Henry and his partner captured the moments that we otherwise wouldn't have seen (ceremony and reception decor before guests arrived, the mingling of guests, entrance of wedding party as we were hidden, etc). We are very grateful to have had Henry photograph our wedding and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat! -

We had Henry as our photographer for our engagement session as well as our wedding day. Henry is very personable and makes a real effort in getting to know you in order to retell your story through his photos. Prior to our wedding day, Henry requested that we complete a questionnaire in order to understand our timeline, priorities and expectations. I was very pleased to receive so many photos of my guests as I had requested from our meeting. I would say his photo style is vivid – the colors really pop – high definition, crisp and clean. Henry was mindful of our timeline and we never fell behind schedule. I have to say that out of all our vendors, Henry was the most hardworking person on our wedding day. As with any wedding, not everything goes according to plan, but Henry took it all in stride. His patience, enthusiasm and energy were 100% from start to finish. We also truly appreciate how well he worked with our other vendors. He was conscious of sharing space and time with our videographers, constantly thanked our day-of-coordinator and her assistant for helping throughout the portrait sessions, and shared his photos of the reception set-up and food with our caterer. Our engagement photos were ready within 2 weeks. Our wedding day slideshow was available within 2 weeks and our full wedding gallery was ready within a month (less than 30 days to be exact!). His rates are reasonable and he was flexible when it came to working within our budget. He had the most thorough and transparent contract out of our all vendors. We were so lucky to have Henry and Jeremiah as our wedding day photographers and we highly recommend Aevitas Weddings! -

Henry was our wedding photographer at our May 2018 wedding. He's so friendly and thoughtful, organized and thorough and replies to emails promptly. He's wonderful! The quality of the photos are amazing and we have tons to go through. Having Henry as our photographer was a great experience. I'd highly recommend him! -

5 stars all the way! Henry was our wedding day photographer and by far our favorite vendor to work with. From the moment we hired him, he showed the utmost professionalism and took the time to really get to know my fiance and I. He has a natural ability to tap into whatever concept/theme you're looking for and is an extremely talented photographer. He even met up with his before our big day and helped us map out an itinerary. Look no further, this is your photographer...our results were amazing. -

As an interracial couple with a wide range of skin tones among our wedding party and guests, selecting a fantastic photographer was an early priority in wedding planning. Hiring Henry Chen of Aevitas Weddings for our engagement photos and wedding was easily one of the best (if not the best) decisions we made in planning our April 2018 Santa Barbara Historical Museum wedding.
In preparing for our engagement session, Henry was organized in his communication with us over phone and email. When we finally met him in person for our engagement shoot, we were able to feel ourselves and have a blast the entire afternoon. We received our photos in less than two weeks and were thrilled with the quality of Henry’s work. He artfully captured our emotions while attending to the beauty of the environment.
As our Santa Barbara wedding approached, Henry was in touch over email and a longer planning call to map out the details of the day. Given our coordinating several different cultural and family traditions, we appreciated greatly his continued attention to detail. Henry and his wonderful team showed up to the venue early on our wedding day. All three displayed the utmost sense of professionalism and kindness. Their positivity and flexibility helped everyone in the wedding party feel comfortable and relaxed, including my husband and myself.
Upon receiving a slideshow of wedding photos within two weeks and our online photo gallery in three weeks, we were blown away. The team took stunning photos of our diverse wedding party and guests, and breath-taking photos of venue and décor details. Since sharing our slideshow with family and friends, we have received an outpouring of appreciation and praise for Henry’s work. We will be forever grateful for Henry’s gift of photographing our wedding in a way that feels entirely representative of who we are and the authentic spirit of that magical day. We cannot recommend Henry and his team enough! -

I have been admiring Henry’s work since before I got engaged so of course when the time came to choose a photographer I immediately contacted Aevitas weddings . He was quick to respond and worked with me while I was in between wedding dates and venues! He really tries his best to accommodate his couples and I could tell immediately that he whole heartedly wants your experience with him to be the smoothest and easiest part of wedding planning. We chose Henry to take our engagement and wedding day photos and he lived up to all my expectations! Both my husband and I don’t usually love taking photos and was worried our photos would look too posed or awkward but with Henry’s direction and guidance our photos turned out stunning! We felt relaxed and more importantly we felt very comfortable working with Henry! He made sure we were running on time on our wedding day and captured the day beautifully! He made us a wedding day slideshow that captured all the feels for the day and watching it made me feel like I was reliving all the best moments. I highly recommend Aevitas Weddings for anyone looking for not only great photography skills but someone who’s personable, professional and easy to work with!-

I highly recommend Henry as a wedding photographer if you’re looking for someone who can not only give you quality timeless photos, but photos that will also capture those special moments on your wedding day. The photos truly captured our wedding and were so beautiful and timeless. Photos are one of the most important mementos for a wedding so I wanted them to help me remember my special day and I think Henry completely nailed it. -

I really hit the jackpot with Henry as our photographer. My husband and I live in Boston but had our wedding in California. I went with Henry based on his praiseworthy reviews and I'm so glad I did! Henry was always professional and calm. He is very organized and so creative! We were able to "meet" with him via FaceTime prior to the wedding. Based on our package, we had two photographers: Henry and Annie. Annie was excellent as well! On the day of the wedding, things got a bit hectic, as weddings usually do, but Henry was able to play it by ear and remain so calm. He managed to round up people for group photos which is so hard as most people know - getting a huge group of people to take a photo is like herding cats. Henry managed it perfectly. While Henry was working under the beating California sun, he had the wedding party stay in the shade until he was ready to take our photos. Just by looking at the photos, you can tell Henry has been doing this for a long time and has so much artistic experience. We are so happy with our photos. I think finding a good wedding photographer is the most important task in planning for a wedding. A photographer will be responsible for capturing those happy memories so that you can look back on for them for the rest of your lives. We were so fortunate to have Henry photograph our wedding. Thank you SO much Henry!!!!

There is so much I can say about Henry! He is honestly super professional and his photos are gorgeous. Timeless is the word I really like to use when describing his style. From day 1 Henry was absolutely thorough and let me know all his expectations and also welcomed all of mine. I never had a questions for him because he pretty much answered all of them before I even had the chance to ask, he definitely has experience in his profession. He sent regular emails to update us and let us know what to do next. On the day of the wedding he showed up early and pretty much rocked the whole shoot. My bridal party was huuuge and he still managed to be very organized despite the groomsmen being a pain and not listening very well haha! I also didn't have a day-of-coordinator since my venue had some pretty faulty communication issues on their end (that story is for another time). Henry still managed to capture some amazing shots given the circumstances. I told him he was like a chameleon because we really didn't see him all night but when we received our photos it was like he was right there next to us the whole time :D amazing. Also he is very flexible, if there's a certain shot you want or pose you'd like to try, he really lets you have some say in your day, as it should be. You won't regret having Henry! -

I can't possibly extol Henry Chen's talents and virtues adequately. Where to start? He is lovely. Henry was extremely responsive, communicative and thoughtful from jump. He made us comfortable and took great interest in our personalities and preferences throughout the process. The day of our Malibu beach elopement, he arrived with boundless energy, creativity and unfailing enthusiasm. I generally do NOT like my image in pictures and would have been pleased with a handful of good photos. I am delighted to report, an embarrassment of riches; I have hundreds that I LOVE. And. He made it FUN. Besides marrying my true prince charming, Henry was the highlight of my precious wedding day. And now, so ingrained in our sublime experience, he will remain with us through our photographic memories, for posterity. (Worth noting: We live in Ohio and knew nothing of the So Cal wedding scene. Yet, I changed my wedding date from a Saturday to a Monday - just to be able to work with Henry Chen. My initial instincts - based on his website gallery alone, were spot-on. He was a true and natural partner in the process and in our day - so very able to capture every subtle nuance of our individual and collective personalities. I can never thank Henry enough. There aren't words to express how grateful I am for the gifts he's given us.) Lisa Nicolella -

Our experience with Henry and his team was amazing from the beginning! We first met with him at his home office where we had the opportunity to see photos and albums from over the years. It really allowed us to see his progress as a photographer which is why we were so excited to move forward and lock him in for our big day!
The attached photos are from our engagement shoot which was a fantastic experience even though it was freezing outside. We went to two different locations and he had creative ideas for both. He maximized what limited sunlight we had that day and utilized additional lighting to enhance the photos. They turned out stunning!
Our wedding was truly an all day event and Aevitas weddings was there to capture those special moments from start to finish. The photos turned out amazing and we can't wait for our albums to arrive!

Henry shot our engagement pictures and our wedding and it was one of the best decisions my wife and I made. From the very first day, Henry displayed excellent communication and professionalism, as he immediately makes you feel that everything is under control and he will guide you through. He responds to emails very quickly (within 1 hour) and is very patient and attentive.
Henry is really easy to work with and is on top of everything. He went the extra mile to make sure our wedding was amazing.. from setting up meetings to arriving early and staying as late as we needed him to. He was very helpful and provided us with tips that would allow us to stay organized and on schedule. Henry is also very friendly and memorizes your family members’ names making it easy for him to get the family ready which helps stay on schedule. I would recommend the engagement shoot as we felt it helped during the wedding as we felt comfortable with Henry and understood the timing of the photograph sequences.
The photos came out phenomenal and we have tons of excellent pictures. Henry truly has an eye for photography and is very passionate. His photography is vibrant, artistic, and captures the best candid moments.
My wife and I have been and will continue to highly recommend Henry to anyone in need of a photographer. Thank you so much Henry!

Henry was BY FAR one of the best, if not the best investment for our wedding last December 2017. Yes Henry is prompt, professional to a T, creative, but the most important part, the one we all care about the most - HE TAKES THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS. His photos had my family in tears. From the engagement session we did (which I highly recommend because it helps you feel more comfortable with him the day of) to the ceremony, portraits and reception Henry gave us tangible memories that mean the world to us. Thank you Henry to helping us capture the Christmas wedding of our dreams! -

Henry is the top of the line, gold-standard for wedding photographers. Not only are his photographs visually stunning but he is one of the most professional, organized and detailed people I've ever known. We had our wedding in Laguna Beach, and my husband and I planned the wedding by ourselves from the East Coast without meeting any of our wedding vendors in person. I'm a super busy lawyer and I slacked off on the wedding planning a lot. However, Henry checked in with us to schedule our calls, go through our itinerary together and kept us on track. He gave us advice for how we should allocate our time and asked us questions about wedding issues that never even crossed our minds. By the time we flew to California, we had worked out all of the nuances of the day. I cannot stress how important it is to work with a photographer who knows what he's doing and does his work efficiently. When people say that the day of the wedding goes fast, IT DOES. We felt like we actually cut a lot of traditional events out of our wedding, but there was a lot that we had to do during the day, and we don't think we could have fit everything in if we didn't have Henry's sharp eye for the shot he wanted to get and his calm, firm guidance. We did not feel rushed or stressed at all, and in fact, he even jumped into the waves while we were taking photos on the beach to stop it from crashing into my dress. Regarding the photos, It was super important to us to have photos that really reflected who we are as a couple and the mood of our wedding, and he really captured our friends' awesome, fun personalities on the dance floor. We laughed so much when we first got our photos, and now we'll always be able to look back on this awesome night. I used to think that contracting with a wedding photographer was just about the visual look, but I've realized that working with the right photographer informs a huge part of your wedding, and we feel super lucky to have worked with Henry for our wedding. -

Henry is the hardest working photographer out there! He and his team will rise to your occasion and deliver the best service out there.
Researching Photographers: I started researching 6-7 months prior to our wedding date. Aevitas Weddings (Henry) was a preferred vendor for our venue (Hotel Seven4One, Laguna Beach, Ca). I reviewed several photographers online and I narrowed it down to 2 vendors to visit based on online reviews and each websites. After meeting with both vendors, we chose Henry because of the customer service. Bother vendors had beautiful photos and great testimonials; however, Henry was personable, flexible, and extremely organized. He also worked with us to meet our budget. We didn’t feel like we were being pushed packages that we really didn’t need. Henry does his best to make the client feel comfortable.
Prior to wedding: As mentioned, Henry is very organized! He reached out to us 6 weeks prior to our wedding to check in on the planning. His website, emails and forms are clear and easy to follow. We had video conference meetings to wrap on details. His attention to details really helped pull us towards the finish line.
Day of: Henry and his team showed up early on the day of the wedding. They knew exactly what do and started photographing wedding items before the party was ready. They were professional, polite and kept the timeline moving. Henry and team took time to know the families and friends. They took beautiful photos of all aspects of the party. They worked so hard until the end of our contract.
Post wedding: Henry processed the photos and sent us a link to our slideshow within 1 month of the wedding. He was about to get the gallery up with the all the photos within a couple of months. My husband was so excited and impressed with the photos that he wants to get a book made, too, (which was not part of the original plan!). Many family and friends who viewed the photos were impressed. -

My wife and I had a great experience with Henry! You simply can't do wrong if you choose him as your photographer. -

My husband and I are so glad to have picked Henry Chen of Aevitas Weddings for our engagement photos and for our wedding day! I have had family and friends just raving on about the photos captured and it's quality. Henry is a very personable, caring, easy to work with and a very professional wedding photographer. Before meeting Henry for our first shoot (engagement photos), we had already exchanged several emails and even a video conference call where my husband I are able to meet him and got to know him a little bit. He made our engagement shoot go very smoothly, which I thought would be so difficult know my husband and I. He had very good directions on the poses and even though I was reluctant on some of them, I've got to say he knows best, because the photos came out amazing! Between the engagement photos and the wedding day, we exchanged more emails and another video conference call where Henry and I discussed the timeline of the wedding and what photos were to be taken. This was a very long meeting, but Henry made sure to get all the information to make the day go smoothly as possibly while capturing all the moments. I am not much of a wedding planner, and was so grateful to have such an experienced photographer to help me through the timeline planning as well as the entire wedding day! Henry captured SOOOOO many photos from the wedding day and it allows me to reminisce back to one of the best days of my life! To top it off he created a slide show which really took me back to that date! I was so excited to see the sneak peek blog, which was posted within 2 weeks of the wedding. Henry also provided with some early edited pictures so we could use them for our holiday cards! The rest of the photos were sent over within a month of the wedding! SO FAST and ALL SO GREAT!-

My (now) husband and I found Henry through Yelp reviews when we first got engaged over a year ago. We live in Phoenix, AZ but wanted our engagement shoot in Southern California. SO needless to say, most of our discussion was a lot of back and forth mailed and I have to say, Henry made it EXTREMELY easy throughout our email conversations to arrange our engagement shoot and figure out details of how we were going to get it done! His friendly nature while maintaining professionalism made us feel super comfortable in his presence.
We loved those moments captured by Henry so much - we knew we had made the best choice possible and a sense of relief that we now had a photographer for our wedding day as well.
For our wedding day, I loved that Henry was very detail oriented in that we had a solid timeline written out which helped keeping things running smoothly on the day of the wedding. Through his pictures, we are able to live through that day over and over again because of all the details and portraits and the natural emotions that Henry was able to capture for us.
I can't thank you enough Henry!! We couldn't have asked for more or better :)-

Henry Chen was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. From our first initial meeting at our venue in Santa Monica, Henry was on time, detail oriented and professional. Leading up to the big day, he took the time to check in with us reguraly to make sure all of wedding day details were in order and to learn about us and our family. On the day of the wedding, he helped me feel at ease on one of the most important days in my life. He is a true master at his craft and captured our wedding day perfectly, exceeding our expectations in every way possible. We would absolutely recommend Henry to every person we know looking for an amazing wedding day photographer. -

Henry and his team did a phenomenal job at our wedding and we would proudly recommend him for any of our friends' events or weddings.
From the beginning, I had a really good feeling about Henry. He was sociable, polite, and very well organized for our first meeting. The last thing I wanted was the be worried about our photographer on our wedding day. Even small things annoy me when I'm stressed, and I wanted someone who would be well-prepared, who would get along with our wedding party, and who we could easily spend the whole day with and not be sick of.
And of course we really liked Henry's photography style. We had seen pictures of Henry's previous shots and they were in line with our vision for the event. I would characterize Henry's style as striking, momentous, and true. I dislike the current style of wedding photography, a bit washed out with a pale tint of pink and hipster on everything. Up until the event, there was constant communication between Henry and us.
The wedding went very smooth, we were ahead of schedule for most of the event, so I got to spend a lot of quality time with my bride and guests. The pictures came out great and there were a ton of them. -

Henry did a phenomenal job with photographing our large Indian wedding. From our initial conversations his enthusiasm and attention to detail were unparalleled. During the events his team consistently had a photographer with me and the groom and made sure to get all the important shots. But we truly got a sense for his talent when we received the slideshow and final photos. He did such a wonderful job capturing candid moments - times that we didn’t even know he was there and he got some incredible shots. He put together a 45 min highlight slideshow of the best shots that has been so much fun to watch. And several of our friends and family have mentioned that they’re the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen. We’re so happy with Henry and Aevitas and would definitely recommend them! -

Henry is truly talented, amazing and professional photographer. My husband, Mark, and I absolutely love everything about him and his beautiful photos he captured during our engagement and wedding! He was the first photographer we'd met, we totally connected immediately ( like seeing an old friend) and so we booked him right away... then our story began from that day on. From our engagement photos to our last moment of our " happily ever after", and sharing our lives in between our big events, words cannot express for such blessing experience with Henry. He is extremely skillful, passionate, prompt, detail oriented and diligent hence we can see his qualities through his kodak moments pictures. He also creates stories through his personal comments and artistic touch. We can truly re-live our very special events of our lives through his beautiful photo pieces because he really knows when and how to capture unforgettable, and crucial moments. We not only enjoyed every step of creating our beautiful story with Henry but also enjoyed getting to know of Henry at the personal level.
We are truly blessed for him, grateful for his gift who made our wedding so personable, lovely, and beautiful so thank you (and your team) for being a part of our "happily ever after" and for an opportunity to be part of such momentous experience.-

Henry is hands down amazing. Since the day we met Henry and saw his work, we knew we found a gem, and to put the cherry on top- his prices were extremely reasonable. He shot our wedding over labor day weekend, in 100 degree weather (no joke), and did an amazing job. From our initial meeting to our engagement shoot to the day of wedding and after, Henry has been easily available, flexible, on-top of it and enjoyable to work with. He streamlined the whole process and made me feel very at ease. He will capture the day like no other. I got so many compliments from guests and the bridal party on his professionalism at the wedding and on the gorgeous pictures he took. He showed up early and left late, just to ensure that he shot enough photos. We were thrilled that we received sneak peaks just days after the wedding, a slideshow just a couple weeks after the wedding, and all photos within 3 weeks of the wedding. He works hard to ensure that couples are happy and we could not recommend him enough! Thanks, Henry! -

Henry is an amazing photographer! When my husband and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding, we were not sure as to what to look for or questions to ask. After some research and viewing portfolios, I absolutely fell in love with his beautiful and captivating pictures! Henry can capture incredible moments in an extraordinary way. His ability to take candid pictures is breathtaking! Henry is a true professional and detailed oriented in every way. His attention to every detail from our first meeting to the wedding day was impressive. We appreciated his interest in getting to know us as a couple and our families. I was excited and nervous on my wedding day but Henry helped me feel at ease and comfortable with the camera.
Henry is responsive via any form of communication, email, phone, or Skype! This is critical during many months of wedding planning and he was always available to answer any questions or concerns. His calm demeanor and upbeat personality were exactly what we needed in the months leading up to the wedding and on our wedding day. We loved his creative ideas on the wedding day such as sneaking out of our reception to take sunset pictures and a stunning picture of our last dance with bubbles! We also appreciated the speediness of receiving a slideshow within two weeks of the wedding and our gallery shortly thereafter. His photography services go beyond providing us our gallery but he also checked in with us to make sure we were able to access our pictures with no issues. We have received endless compliments about our gorgeous pictures. We absolutely loved how he captured our guests’ personalities and our love as newlyweds! Thank you Henry for sharing our special day. We are grateful to have you as our wedding photographer and you have a special place in The Garbarino Family!

Henry and his team were truly a pleasure to work with. He photographed our wedding 3 months ago and it was nothing short of spectacular. He was professional, extremely quick to respond, timely and went far and beyond to make our day memorable - he even stayed later than was expected to ensure he captured the last traditional flower toss at our wedding!
His website, tools, tips and guidance were much more useful than I had originally anticipated - I'm so glad he got to know a little bit more about the both of us and our vision from the day including our family members (he even called my little flower girl by her name throughout the portrait shots which she loved and showed so much care and passion for his art!)
Now a little bit about the pictures - OH MY GOODNESSS, the quality, artistic vision and sharpness of my wedding pictures took everyone's breath away (so much so that my family in the Bay wants to fly him out for events)! He spent ample time and patience taking shots of all the little moments which are amazing to look back at. In the mix of a busy evening, he even managed to get us on the rooftop of our venue for the golden hour shot with the sunset. SO organized and on point. Amazing job, I'm looking forward to working with you again on other life events - thanks so much Henry!! -

Henry with Aevitas Wedding is outstanding in all possible aspects. Most importantly, he is a very talented photographer and provided us with the best quality images we could have imagined for both our engagement session and our wedding. Throughout the process he was professional and made sure to listen to our wishes to provide the best product possible. We could not have asked for a better experience! -

Photographer Henry Chen of Aevitas is a consummate professional with the utmost level of integrity. He is not only versed in taking portraits, but he is also skilled in capturing the essence of moments that are only possible because of spontaneity. My wife and I chose Aevitas after a thorough search for wedding photographers. Not only is Aevitas well-qualified, but it is reasonably priced compared to the competition for the quality of work and the professionalism of service. -

When deciding on a photographer for our wedding, my fiance and I knew we wanted a good deal, so we narrowed it to 2 options - mediocre talent for an exceptional price, or exceptional talent for a mediocre price; we chose the latter. We cut out a number of things due to budget constraints, but photography was the one thing we didn't want to skimp on. Henry's dedication and passion for getting the best shot shows through in his portfolio. He works miracles with finding the best lighting to let his subjects shine. He's also very organized and highly professional which makes working with him a breeze. We just got the final prints, and realized he doesn't just take photos, he creates works of art. We definitely recommend Aevitas Weddings for their photography services. -

Henry is amazing!!! His work and talent are surely reflected in the beautiful pictures he takes. He has a keen eye on angles, lighting, and background and takes all these to his full advantage. The picturesare so much nicer compared to our friends' wedding and engagement photos. He works very hard without any complaints. He drove with us to three different engagement destination sites, sitting through some traffic and never complained once. He ensures we eat and provides us with water if needed. His directions on how to pose helped us out so much. Without his directions we'd be lost, but his guidance on where to stand, where to look, where to place our hands, etc is so thorough that it definitely shows in his professionalism and great experience. The pictures all looked beautiful and very professionally done!! His price is very reasonable for the amount of time and work he puts in, and he is very nice! He takes the time to really get to know the couple and make us feel at ease and comfortable. We couldn't have chosen a better photographer!! Thank you so much Henry (and team)!!!!! -

Our photographer Henry was amazing in every way. I can't speak highly enough of Henry. He was so professional and courteous from the very beginning of me contacting him. He was so polite and he always communicated with us throughout the whole process until the end. He was wonderful at our wedding. All of our guests raved about how good he was. I highly recommend Henry as your photographer for his overall excellent service. Thank you Henry for your beautiful photography of our wedding and for your amazing service. -

Wow, what can I say.. Henry and Job were amazing. My wife and I live in Chicago but had our wedding in California and we're really worried about working long distance with our vendors - especially the photographer. However, the first time we met with Henry and saw his work, we knew he was the perfect fit for us. He was extremely helpful, kind and patient with us throughout the whole process and the prices were extremely fair. We received an amazing slide show only a couple of weeks after the wedding and received all our photos just a couple of weeks after that. We didn't anticipate we would get them so soon! Take my advice, if you're getting married in the area choose Aevitas for your photography needs and you won't be sorry. -

I cannot praise Henry enough! He did an amazing job capturing our destination wedding in Cancun! He was the only photographer, no assistants, and he didn't miss a single special moment! We had several things go wrong the day of the wedding, the bridal party was in the wrong room, nobody had reception and the WiFi was weak so we couldn't get a hold of certain members of the wedding party, and it was really windy and humid and he just rolled with it and made everything work. All of our friends and family were commenting on how great he was before they even saw the pictures! He captured a lot of really fun, candid moments from the reception and did an AMAZING job with our trash the dress photo shoot the next day. He took a 30 minute choppy ferry ride with us out to an island in Mexico and waded into the water waist deep to so that he could get the best shot. After the photo shoot we found out he gets seasick and can't swim! Talk about dedication! We have some of the most beautiful, unique wedding photos and it is all thanks to him! -

Your search is over!!!! If you want amazing pictures of your special day from truly talented photographers, Aevitas photography is the one.
Where to begin, we were very skeptical with choosing a good photographer for our big day. After all the pictures are what remains. Once we began searching we immediately liked the work we saw. We messaged Henry, he was quick to response back which was a relief. He was easy to talk to and understood our vision.
(Fast forward to day of wedding)
Henry immediately knew what to do and didn't require direction. He truly captured every great moment. He was at the right place at the right time to take the best pictures. The whole wedding party fell in love with our photographers, they were easy to work with and accommodating. Words can't describe how great Aevitas photography is.
They are professional, efficient and amazing at what they do. -

Aevitas was fantastic. Henry is super professional and a total perfectionist which we really appreciated. From the initial meeting to the day of our wedding, Henry did a fantastic job capturing all the critical as well as the fun, impromptu moments - while completely in stealth mode. Even some moments that we missed ourselves! We are so glad we decided to go with Aevitas. We love our photos, and really had a great time with Henry throughout the process and during the day of the wedding. -

Firstly, Henry is one of the nicest guys we have met!!
I contacted Henry when I was planning to propose to my now wife. I wanted my surprise proposal to be captured on camera so we could cherish the special moment years from now. Although Henry didn't shoot proposals, he happily took on the task and helped me to plan it. I proposed to my wife by the Venice Canals, whilst Henry hid behind the bushes. My wife was overwhelmed with joy and could not stop laughing when she realized that it had all been captured on camera! Afterwards, Henry took us for a mini proposal shoot and got fantastic, picturesque shots of us by the canals. He is so efficient too. We received a sneak peak of our photos later that evening!
We then met Henry again a week later for our engagement shoot which took place in a few locations: arts district Downtown, LADWP, Venice beach and Santa Monica boardwalk. Henry was full of great ideas and made us feel at ease the whole day. Again with the efficiency, we received a sneak peak of our photos a day or two after our shoot.
The following year, we had Henry shoot our pre wedding party in Marina del Rey and our wedding and reception in Malibu. He was in contact with us 2 months leading up to the wedding, planning and preparing for our events. He even met with us in person at our wedding venue a couple of weeks before the wedding so we could discuss our timeline in detail and he could scope out the venue, planning out key photos in advance. He is extremely organized!
Henry's wife, Charlene, was the 2nd photographer on our wedding day. They both arrived on time on the day of and got straight to work. Charlene spent the morning with me and my groomsmen, whilst Henry was with my wife and her bridesmaids as they got ready. They both captured fantastic detailed getting ready shots. Both Henry and Charlene are very enthusiastic, detail oriented and work together perfectly! We're so extremely happy with Henry's work and highly recommend his services! -

We found out about Henry and Aevitas Weddings through a friend, and we're sure glad we did! Our entire experience with Henry has been perfect. We started off with a one hour meeting at his home, going through every little detail we can think of, and he was very patient with us. For the wedding itself, Henry did an amazing job; he was extremely energetic throughout the day and evening, often going to extraordinary lengths to capture what we wanted, especially on our tight schedule! He even spoke some Chinese to direct some of our relatives who flew to Los Angeles all the way from China, and for one of the photos, he tried climbing a tree to get a top-down look. Afterwards, Henry gave us sneak peeks of our photos and we were blown away, along with every one of our friends who saw them. They were soooo good!
There is no doubt in my mind that he is as dedicated to his craft as he is to his clients. Henry and his team at Aevitas are worth every penny and if you can get him for your wedding then you 100% should! -

Henry is an amazing photographer. He is really nice and he made an effort to know us as a couple before he shot our engagement session. He took the time to talk to us and made sure he knew our story and incorporated that into our session. He was respectful for our needs. We were very impressed by all the positive reviews he has and he certainly did live up to them :)
We did our engagement shoot in Malibu creek state park and El Matador Beach and he was there on time ready to go. He was running around to take our perfect pictures and we are super grateful for that. He gave us a sneak peek of our pictures to us within a week and we were super thrilled. Most photographers take a lot of time to get back but Henry was really great in getting back to us with our pictures. Our friends and family loved our engagement pictures and they cannot stop saying how great the pictures look :D
We are very excited for him to shoot our wedding in December in India. He knows a lot about indian wedding and after reading his blog on Indian weddings I can vouch that he knows more about the indian ceremonies than I do!
I can't thank Henry enough for shooting our wedding in India. We had an incredible time. He was really accommodating to our schedules. With a lot of things changing last minute and a large number of guests it must have been difficult for him to capture our pictures. But, he did a splendid job!! All my friends still rave about how great the pictures looked. I am so happy with how everything worked out. I would highly recommend Henry!! He is really hardworking and amazing photographer :) -

I was just looking through my wedding pictures the other day with friends, and I wish I could express how happy they made me. Henry and his wife worked so incredibly hard to capture every special moment on my wedding day and the results are truly stunning. From our rehearsal to the ceremony to the reception, he not only captured me and my fiancee (now husband), he really was able to encapsulate the spirit and energy of our wedding weekend. Not only were the pictures technically wonderful — well lit and beautifully framed — but Henry really provided me with memories of the most important day of my life. Also, they couldn't be a kinder more lovely couple -

Trust the glowing reviews, everyone! We are so happy that we ended up choosing Henry & Aevitas to photograph our wedding. We had a very small, intimate ceremony and Henry really went the extra mile to help us - down to much appreciated details such as remembering family member's names and relationships. The photographs themselves turned out beautifully - creative yet classic.
What really set Henry apart, though, was communication. Henry always had warm, friendly, thorough, and fast responses to any questions or concerns we had. Really a refreshingly pleasant customer service experience. -

I found Aevitas through yelp because of the rave reviews. Now, many months after choosing him, getting my engagement and wedding photographed by Henry and his team, I simply can't say enough about how great our experience was with him. He's friendly, on-time, and SUPER hard working. We LOVE the way our photos turned out, both for our engagement shoot and for our wedding day itself.
We had a tight budget and Henry was willing to work with us to figure out what our best option would be. He went the extra mile to meet up with us beforehand and learn more about us. He was super organized and provided us with proofs really quickly. And like I said, the finished product is absolutely wonderful.
We would, without hesitation, pick him / Aevitas Weddings again if I had to do it all over again! -

Henry was our photographer for our beach wedding in Laguna Beach this past September and we could not have been more happy with how our pictures turned out and how awesome he was to work with on our wedding day, as well as the whole year leading up to it! Henry was one of the recommended vendors through our venue and once we looked up his reviews and previous wedding photos we knew we had to schedule a meeting with him. Upon meeting him he made us feel comfortable right away, he is so nice and genuine. For all that you get he has great prices too so we booked him right away and it was the best decision! He did our engagement pictures as well and they turned out amazing! We did a few locations, one being the beach on a very windy day and he could not have been more dedicated, getting in the water and everything to get the best shots. Over the next year, Henry would check in on us every so often to see how everything was going. He is extremely organized and answers emails and any questions so quickly! On the wedding day, Henry and his assistant (who was also awesome) showed up early for getting ready pictures and stayed late into the reception for dancing. They got pictures of everything we wanted! He really went above and beyond to make sure we were always on schedule. Even after the wedding, he amazed us with his work ethic...getting us a sneak peak of our wedding pictures before we were even on our honeymoon. A photographer was the most important thing for us when planning our wedding because we knew we would be looking back at these pictures for the rest of our lives. The wedding day goes by quicker than you can imagine so you realize how even more important it is. You will love working with Henry, and even more the beautiful pictures he takes! -

We gave Henry a tough challenge. An outdoor wedding at sunset overlooking the ocean. So many things to contend with and opportunities for a poor showing. Henry was AMAZING through it all. Not only does he create shots that are truly bridal-magazine quality, but his calm and friendly guidance/advice was a true asset in planning our day. Extremely flexible with his time as well, always working to earn your satisfaction.
Not only that, but everything about the SHARING process with friends and family was EASY. No BS watermarks to deal with or 3 month waits to see shots. All of this for what I felt was a reasonable price as well. Amazing work Henry.
Would HIGHLY Recommend. -

Henry was absolutely amazing to work with! Planning a wedding in Temecula while living in NYC was not an easy feat but Henry was helpful and thorough during the entire process. We brought him on board almost a whole year before the big day and he was present and available anytime I e-mailed him with questions. He was attentive to all the photography details and anticipated any questions that I had before I even got a chance to ask them!
Henry frequently checked-in during the months of planning and sent us many helpful documents that made planning the whole wedding easier, not just the photography aspect. His guidance helped with creating the wedding day timeline and prioritizing the photos we wanted from the wedding. Heading into the big day, photography was the only part of the wedding I didn’t have any concerns about. Henry has a real gift for taking the stress out of wedding planning.
On the day of, Henry and his wife, Charlene, were early at the venue and did a wonderful job of keeping everyone on target and calm. He was so professional and gave directions so effectively. All of our pre-wedding portraits with family and ourselves went smoothly because he was such a pro at timing and technique. He and Charlene captured everything! I don’t even remember seeing them next to me, but lo and behold- we have photos of all the greatest moments from that day! We got all our photos less than a month after the wedding and they are all so stunning. So many of our family and friends commented on how attentive Henry and Charlene were during the whole wedding, as well as how beautiful the photos turned out.
Henry truly is a professional and it’s clear that he’s really passionate about his work. I’m so glad my husband and I picked him to capture our special day. His approach with working with us was always so personal and it made us so comfortable on our wedding day. He captured all the emotions and joy, and we’re thankful we made the right choice. -

I was referred to Aevitas Wedding when our wedding planner gave us their top recommendations. After extensive meetings with other photographers, we consulted Henry Chen and booked him 9 months before our wedding. Just to ensure he wasn’t taken for our special day! He was our clear choice to shoot our wedding day because of his work/portfolio. The pictures he takes not only capture the emotion, but displays elegance with such explicit color. When I gave my fiancé the portfolios of my top 3 photographers, he quickly chose Henry’s work. Here’s our reasons why we’re so glad we chose Aevitas Wedding:
1. Henry is the all-around package. He’s professional, patient, thorough, and a leader on our wedding day. 2. Very punctual in responding to our e-mails. 3. Brought out a natural, genuine smile in my fiancé. Made us both feel comfortable and relaxed during our photo-shoot for engagement photos. 4. Described and instructed us both on poses, angles, body adjustments to get the best shot. We trusted him, that it would be the best shot. Again, for men who aren’t comfortable taking thousands of pictures on the big day, my husband was so relaxed working with Henry. 5. Very thorough in preparation for our big day. He extensively reviewed the photography schedule with us beforehand. He made certain he would capture groups of guests we wished to take together by preparing a list for us beforehand. This is key, because the wedding days so hectic. 6. His assistant, second photographer Charlene was such a compliment to Henry. She captured the groom and his groomsmen without missing a beat. The guys loved her and her energy. 7. Went above and beyond our contract. His passion for photography and getting good shots. We saw how excited he was to get good angles. The top 2 things we couldn’t skimp on financially – a wedding planner and photographer. On such a hectic day, a photographer and planner’s the vendor you work with the most. He was and still is our top choice. -

When researching for a RPV phtographer, we were lucky to find Henry at Aevitas Weddings. From the start, he was professional, personable, sincere and responded in a very timely manner. We thought "he's too good to be true" but he is very real! He caught the special intimate moments (crying/laughing) that we wanted during our Wayfarer's ceremony. We didn't even notice him at our small Marsel reception but he captured everyone during toasts and dinner. Henry worked hard and was patient with guests who were not cooperating. We love our beautiful photos and received our digital images quickly after the wedding. -

We are SO THANKFUL that our wedding planner recommended Aevitas for our wedding photographer.
Henry and Charlene are an amazing team. Every step of the way, they made us feel comfortable and cared so much about what we wanted for our wedding photos.
We had multiple people stop us throughout our wedding weekend to tell us that they've never seen a more hardworking photographer before. Henry was busy during our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and full wedding day ----- making sure to capture every single special moment. Not only did he catch the memorable moments between myself and my husband, but also captured tons of great shots of our family and friends. His attention to detail and the amount of thought he puts into his work blew us away.
Henry--- you are kind, extremely talented and such a joy to work with. Thank you for capturing the most perfect day of our lives. -

I don't even know where to begin. Henry is just amazing. He's one of the nicest people I've ever met and he's super easy-going which helps if you're like me and don't like having your picture taken! We first contacted Henry right after we got engaged as we wanted to do engagement pictures, hoping that would lead into wedding pictures. Of course it did! Our engagement photos were stunning and we actually had a lot of fun that day!! And we got a sneak preview just a couple of days later, which was great.
Leading up to the wedding day, Henry made sure that he knew exactly what was going on; he was in constant contact and we never felt stressed, wondering if we made the right choice. Photographer is SO important. We even had a skype session with him and our wedding planner about a week before the wedding so that everyone was on the same page and knew the expectations. Even our wedding planner commented and said in all the years she's been doing this, she has yet to meet a photographer who was as detail-oriented and responsive as Henry! He wants to know everything and more importantly, he wants to know what YOU want. And he delivers. He even scoped out our venue before the wedding to get some ideas for pictures! On the wedding day, he was on time and professional. Very courteous with everyone he came into contact with and not pushy or overbearing at all. His assistant was equally professional and talented! My Dad, who is a retired cop and trusts no one, even said that Henry was a good guy :-) Our pictures were fabulous. We got a sneak preview about a week later (that is super fast, trust me) and ALL of our edited, high-res pictures about 3 weeks after that. Again, super fast! I have heard horror stories of people waiting months for their pictures, having to hound their photographers. Henry managed to get everything I requested and then some. Highly recommend Aevitas Weddings; they are THE BEST. Thanks, Henry! -

Henry is an amazing wedding photographer and truly a pleasure to work with – a master of his craft. We were referred to him by a photographer friend who has worked with him in the past and we are so happy with the whole experience.
His wedding photography is not only beautiful and professional, it is personal. Through our email exchanges and Skype meeting, he got to know us, our story, and what kind of vibe we were going for with the wedding. This allowed him to understand what we were looking for in our photos.
On the day of the wedding, Henry and wife Charlene (who was also so wonderful) arrived at the venue early, in spite of nearly everyone else (bride included!) arrived late. They made an amazing team and were so positive throughout the entire day. They photographed our wedding beautifully, capturing not only the natural beauty of our outdoor campsite venue but also the whimsical, laid-back vibe of the event.
We received our highlights album only a few days after our wedding and the full album about three weeks later. We were floored by how great they were – everything from the shots of the venue and the details to the posed photos and candid moments. Our friends and family have also not stopped raving about the photography.
We cannot say enough positive things about Aevitas Weddings – 100% recommend! -

Henry at Aevitas Weddings is top-notch! He gave such great direction and was so professional and patient throughout the day it was a pleasure to work with him! Even though I booked him "blindly" without ever meeting him face to face having him shoot us was like working with an old friend we had known for years! He made us feel that comfortable right from the start! I can't say how much I would recommend him other than to say 5 stars hands down and don't hesitate - book him now! With all the madness that comes with wedding planning this will be the best decision you make! -

I want to let everyone know how much we loved our photographer: Henry @Aevitas Weddings
The Aevitas Weddings entire team were UNBELIEVABLE for both our engagement and wedding photos-of course pointing all fingers to the main photographer, Henry. Henry's website is comprehensive and you can really get a feel for his style and professionalism. He has reasonable prices comparatively to people in his caliber. A little backstory: we got married in February and had specific religious considerations. Henry was very organized and wanted details on every aspect of the wedding from important family member's names to the steps involved on a cultural level so as not to miss anything. We had a few meetings to make sure everything was discussed fully. He also asked for a list of the "must have" photos which made the process easy and fluid. Henry is so kind and patient and our engagement photos were spectacular! Charline and Henry made my husband and myself feel like we were in our natural element, like we were hanging out with friends. For our wedding pictures, they were respectful and efficient. Henry takes high quality and artistic pictures-which we love. We cannot wait to see our professional album. Believe me, Henry is not your average wedding photographer. Along with his professionalism and beautiful pictures, he is SO kind and patient and seems to really care about making the best memories last. I couldn't recommend Aevitas Weddings any higher. Thank you so much HENRY AND CHARLINE!

One of the best decisions for our wedding ceremony was to have Henry as our photographer. When we first met, he was really friendly and considerate. He asked very detailed questions and walked us through the timeline on the wedding day in 15 min slots. After we booked with Henry, he frequently followed up with us and always replied to our emails promptly.
We were lucky enough to have both Henry and his wife Charlene on our wedding day. They worked nonstop from us getting ready to the ceremony then to the reception. We even came to a point that Henry told us "let me know when you want to stop coz I can not stop once I started shooting". I rarely meet someone who is this passionate about his job. After the wedding, many of our guests asked about our photographer and told us that this is the most dedicated photographer they even met in many weddings they participate.
We received our high res photos just two weeks after our wedding. They were organized very well in an online gallery where you can download them to your local hard drive or order albums. All of the photos are carefully selected and edited. I love the color, lighting, angle and especially the people's emotion that were well captured by Henry. We can not wait to share these photos with our family and friends.
We'd like to thank Henry for such a wonderful work and we highly recommend him as your wedding photographer if you are still looking for one. Choose him and you will never regret for this decision. -

We did our Engagement Photos and Wedding Photos with Aevitas Weddings last year. Working with Henry Chen and his wife was an awesome experience. The pictures turns out amazing, and our wedding album is also very good.
Henry would go above a beyond making sure your special day go well as planned. He could even double as a day of coordinator! He made sure everything is on time without missing any important shots and moments. He also would stay behind and provide extra hours for any other worthy shots needed to be taken. For our engagement shoot, Henry gave us 10 hours total with 1 extra hours, and I think for our wedding day he stayed for total of 12 hours. It is definitely well worth the money.
After the shoot, Henry was very prompt with delivering the pictures and they were easy to share and download for you own usage. I would love to see if Henry would do our baby pictures too because I would definitely go with Aevitas. -

Not only are Henry's pictures amazing... he is an absolute pleasure to work with as well. We first met Henry when I found him on Wedding Wire and asked if he would be interested in doing our engagement photos as an "audition" for the wedding. I signed us up for a marathon 4 hour photo shoot. By the end of it, we were exhausted! Henry's positive attitude and love for art kept us going. That night, we knew that if the pictures turned out as beautiful as the rest of his work, we would definitely need to have him capture our wedding. At the wedding, he brought his beautiful wife Charlene (who works with him). They are a great duo. Their direction in the pictures was super helpful and their personalities were a terrific complement for the day's activities. Not to mention, all of our pictures turned out GORGEOUS. It's taking me a while to pick "favorites" because they are all so good! I definitely recommend Henry for your event. He does not just take pictures, he captures moments and memories which is worth much more than just a photo. -

Summary: Stunning, romantic, dramatic photos…consummate professional in every respect…great value for what you pay for
There’s something to be said that after a little more than 2.5 years after our wedding, Henry has left such a lasting impression that I felt compelled to write a glowing review on Aevitas Photography (then Henry Chen Photography). On what will amount to be one of the most stressful day of your (pre-child) lives, Henry’s professionalism, attention to detail and planning, flexibility/adaptability, and his uncanny ability to stay calm under pressure was more than welcomed amidst the chaos, excitement and emotions. From the little hiccup during our engagement session at Disneyland (check when the Parks open, people!) to our outdoor ceremony with the sun setting behind us (sorry!), Henry took every photographic and scheduling challenge in stride and was able to produce the most stellar of photos! Pricing wise, you get much more than what you initially perceive you’re paying for – extremely great value! Henry was more than happy to work with our budget and offered a custom package that was mutually beneficial. However, years later and minutia aside, what we invested in still resonates today with beautiful photos born of our wedding day and Henry’s unique blend of emotion-inducing photojournalism/lifestyle photography. I'll ask you what he asked us when we met in person – “Do you see yourselves in his photos?” If your answer is “Yes!”, why are you still reading this?! Go book Aevitas Photography before it’s too late! -

I was recommended to Henry by two other couples who also had the privilege of working with him. We wanted to meet with him prior to selecting him for his services to go over his packages and pricing. When we met him and saw his work, we knew that we wanted him to photograph one of the most special moments of our lives. Henry is so professional and such a kind person. Throughout the wedding planning Henry always stayed in contact to talk about planning the engagement session as well as the wedding day. He is very strategic and definitely does his research for the best places for pictures. When our wedding day got closer, he reached out to us to go over the wedding day timeline. He provided me with so much great information. He also wanted to ensure he had a list of all of the photos I would like with each side of the family or other special requests.
For the day of the wedding, of course everything was hectic. I ended up running late with my hair and makeup. We had a timeline to go by since we chose to do the "first look". We needed to make sure we were ready to take pictures, but I was running about an hour behind. Henry was very calm and did not waste any time in waiting as he continued to take pictures. He was seriously the best person you could ever work with. He is so patient and kind.
We had the opportunity to work with Henry's colleague Brian as well. He was taking photos in the grooms getting ready room. There were so many great moments that he was able to capture. He really did a great job and I was so happy to be able to have those pictures.
My husband and I were so extremely happy to see our beautiful pictures that Henry and Brian did. They came out so beautiful!
If you are reading this post, seriously look no further. This was the best choice we could have made when it came to making decisions for our wedding day!
Thank you Henry!

Henry and his wife photographed our 2 day wedding in September 2015. He is worth every penny. When my husband and I first saw his photographs we immediately gravitated towards his style and artistry. They were phenomenal to work with and helped us get through the 2 day multicultural affair seamlessly. Our families felt very comfortable with both Henry and Charlene. They both put my jitters on the day off the wedding at ease. They are professionals who are highly skilled in what they do. Their personalities just gelled well together and with us. The photos are spectacular. They captured the essence of our wedding, the Sangeet, and Tea ceremony. Every time I look through our photos my heart melts. We are looking forward to getting pay wedding photos done with them soon. -

I would highly recommend Aevitas Weddings to anyone in need of a quality photographer. Henry at Aevitas will definitely provide you with five-star service. He did our engagement photos and wedding photos – not only was he professional, courteous and considerate during the entire process, but his eye for sites at which to photograph and intuitive way of capturing the moment is unrivaled. Our engagement photos had amazing variety and range, and were crystal clear and gorgeous. At our wedding, he and his wife had this invisible way about them – you didn’t even know they were there, yet in some way they captured every nostalgic, breathtaking, heartwarming moment. I relive our wedding day often through Henry’s artistic photos. From staged group photos and newlywed couple shots to candid pictures of those sentimental moments and fun celebratory times, Henry captured each and everything and portrayed them to a tee in great photographic stills. His personal attention to detail and timeliness in his customer service and follow through in delivering his work is also excellent. We didn’t end up ordering our wedding photo book until over a year after the wedding (such is life) – but when I reached out to him, Henry didn’t miss a beat. He was as responsive as when he was working with us on our photos the year before, then delivered a beautiful, classic, artful wedding photo album. I can’t say enough good things about Henry. Again, he’s the best. Thank you Aevitas! -

Absolutely the best wedding vendor we had for our wedding!!! My husband and I got engaged May 2014 and as an excited fiancee, I quickly did my research for all of my wedding vendors, and got our date set for 8/29/15. I researched online and yelp and I can honestly say that no one comes close to how beautiful and emotional the photos that Henry from Aevitas Weddings can capture. We live in NYC and our wedding was at the Montage in Laguna Beach, CA and even with this long distance, Henry was always so accessible and responsive (very impt!!) My husband and I skyped with Henry- he was thorough and sincere and super organized!! We knew things were meant to be when Henry, coincidentally, had a shoot in NYC and he offered to take our engagement pictures in the big apple without charging any travel fees (some people might try to get more out of you, but I'm telling you guys, he's the best!) Coming up on months before the wedding, Henry would always check in and even give us helpful hints about the big day. Our wedding day was perfect! It went so smoothly because Henry gave us a timeline and really likes to make sure he captures all the special moments! And in the end, we truly can't thank Henry and his wife Charlene for capturing our special day! Every time friends, and family see our photos, they are just in awe with the quality. Quick turnaround for the wedding photos after the wedding was a plus! Coming from a picky girl from new york/orange county...I'm truly happy we went with Aevitas :) -

I had the pleasure of using Henry as my engagement and wedding photographer. I can't sing his praises enough! When I first found him on the Internet while researching photographers, I was blown away by his gorgeous, vivid photographs! I showed my fiancé (at the time) and he said there was no way we could afford him. I decided to contact Henry anyways and got a response almost immediately! He was so friendly and professional and was willing to work with my budget for my wedding! He answered all my questions thoroughly and even answered questions I did not even know to ask. I knew I was in exceptional hands with Henry. We added a last minute engagement shoot which he happily shot, it was our first time meeting and the weather that day was 100+ degrees that turned into torrential rain. He was so calm and collective and knew exactly how to shoot in those conditions. My fiancé and I were so impressed by him, professionally and personally, he acts like your best friend which made the shoot very comfortable. We received the photos within a few days and we loved them all! I couldn't wait for our wedding day! We met a few weeks prior to get the proper timeline and he has this worksheet you fill out of your family dynamics so that he can be well prepared for a smooth and efficient portrait session. The day of, he brought his beautiful wife, Charlene, to help out. They both made sure we were on time and everything went without a hitch! He captured such beautiful moments and I can't thank him enough. My guests loved him, he was such a gentleman when it came to taking photos, not getting in people's way, not fabricating ingenuine moments. All photos were beautifully edited, I had goosebumps looking at them. Thank you so much, Henry and Charlene! You two have made an indelible mark on my and Bobbys marriage! -
