    Best Photographer Ever!!

    AJ is amazing!! We got married at Valhalla and Camp Richardson in South Lake Tahoe and he captured all the beauty the area had to offer, as well as all the fun moments we had!! He is so good at what he does and capturing all the best moments, that we barely knew he was there because he didn’t have to be in our faces. He also didn’t have to use obnoxious lighting or flashes to get great photos of us. He truly is a genius at figuring out the perfect lighting and the best locations to get it. He was also very good at getting us to act natural during our poses. His direction was so good and natural that we didn’t feel awkward at all. We have looked at our photos over and over and just love them all! Our friends and family have also gushed about them. My groom is in the wedding industry and has worked with hundreds of photographers and AJ is by far one of the best!!! AJ is also very chill and kind, so it’s easy to have him with you throughout your wedding day. He really made things feel stress-free and worked with the time we allotted for photos beautifully. We were right on time with everything! Do yourself a favor and pick AJ as your photographer!! You won’t regret it!

    Brilliant photographer

    Prior to my wedding, I had a friend advise me not to cheap out on wedding pictures. Lucky for me, Arol was gracious enough to offer me an awesome deal while providing premium photography and videography. Pictures can be tricky and very subjective, but I am glad to say that I do not regret hiring Arol (and his videographer) whatsoever and whole-heartedly recommend this talented photographer. Like I said, pictures can be highly subjective. But you know a photographer is good when EVERYONE (that I knew) can 100% agree that the pictures taken by Arol were amazing. Arol captured moments I didn't realize were moments. The resolution of his pictures were also amazing. Both the slide show and the video highlight really captured the vibe and atmosphere of that night. He was also cool to talk to. If you want some premium, amazing quality, memorable moments captured, look no further and hire this gentleman. He's got some skills.

    Amazing photographer!

    We are so happy we chose Arol to be our wedding photographer! From our engagement shoot to the wedding he was awesome to work with and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. All of our pictures came amazingly and truly capture the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with him and are so glad we will have his pictures to look back on forever.

    Phenomenal Photographer

    I dont even know where to begin because anything I say just does not do Arol and his amazing talent with the camera justice. We are very blessed that we found AJH Photography to capture our wedding. One of the most important aspects of this day was the pictures. Arol exceeded my expectations by 1000%. Not only do we have amazing pictures that will last for generations to come, but we also made a friend with memories to last a lifetime of our special day. Even though we are 12 hours apart, we will definitely be using Arol again for family pictures. Huge kudos to AJH Photography!!!!

    Stunning photos and easy to work with!

    Arol is true professional through and through. He is not your typical wedding photographer. Yes, he will get your shot list, but he thrives on candids and capturing the true essence of the day. We could not be more happy with the final results. And to add in his efficiency on site, quick turn around post wedding and all-around positive attitude, it made for a truly rewarding experience. To equate it to sports, it was like he took our shot list and important moments and made a playbook out of them. He came on site with a game plan that he executed flawlessly. Our entire wedding party commented about how efficiently he moved from shot to shot and how friendly, yet direct, he was in adjusting each part of the shot. Even guests came up to us during the reception making comments. If you are looking for photos that are unique, candid and truly capture your day, Arol is your guy.

    breathtaking photographs of our wedding

    Arol and his team helped capture every memory of our wedding. I hired him for photography and videography, best decision I ever made. Both services have been more than I could have bargained for.

    Arol went out of his way at the wedding to capture everyone and everything. The photos and video are stunning, every emotion and expression have been captured and I am so thankful to him and everyone there that day that made this possible. His photography, passion and commitment to his clients is unwavering, he also has very quick response times whether by call, text or email. He was there for me when the wedding was months away and when it was around the corner, he answered my hundreds of questions and took note of everything I wanted. I"m so thankful I found his page a year ago and decided to go with him because his work is incredible. Look no further, this is the photographer you've been looking for!

    Arol is an extremely talented photographer!

    Arol is an extraordinarily talented photographer. I researched many photographers for my wedding and selected Arol because of his style. He uses lighting to capture romantic photos that will tell a story. My wedding photos are amazing!!! Arol captured every moment of the big day. Arol is very responsive, organized and a pleasure to work with.

    Professional, Efficient, Amazing!

    Arol was an absolute pleasure to work with during our wedding. He was incredibly professional and efficient, so my husband and I had plenty of time to enjoy our wedding without losing lots of time to pictures. After our wedding, we got the pictures back from Arol incredibly quickly and couldn't be happier with the results. All the shots we wanted turned out great! He even got some incredibly cute pictures of my dog! He has a great eye for lighting and came up with some super creative shots. 10/10, would recommend to anyone and everyone. Thanks for capturing our day, Arol!

    Prior to our wedding, I’d been following Arol’s IG page for some time. I fell in love with his work right way, and was not surprised when I saw his name on a list of recommended photographers I’d requested from my coordinator. We made the easy decision to book him for our engagement pictures and wedding day right away. Although my husband and I are EXTREMELY camera shy and absolutely dislike taking pictures, it was very important that everything be perfectly captured at our engagement session and wedding. Arol not only made us feel at ease, he selected the most beautiful backdrop (camp Ben) for our engagement pictures. It was exactly what I’d pictured and expressed to him. Our wedding day pictures...I don’t even have the words to accurately describe what an exceptional job Arol did at capturing our wedding day. Even our family, friends, and co-workers were blown away by our pictures! He has a very special eye and technique, that allows him to capture so many emotions and gorgeous images so perfectly. I found myself laughing, crying, and feeling smitten as I went through our pictures. I was finally able to put together the events of our wedding day which had been a total blur up to that point. Arol surpassed our expectations and we were so lucky he was available to capture these special moments. Im not sure we could ever thank him enough for delivering such flawless photography on both of these special occasions!

    Arol was one of our favorite vendors we worked with during our wedding planning process. He was also one of the first vendors we booked, second only to the venue itself. We knew immediately that we wanted to book him (my now-husband, in particular, is picky about photography but flipped through one of Arol's albums at the venue - since he's the preferred photographer of our venue, another testament to his work - and said "This guy is amazing"). I can't talk enough about his 1) friendliness, 2) professionalism, and 3) photography skills. Like I said before, Arol is one of our favorite vendors to work with. He always responds promptly to emails (and I've had experiences where vendors take weeks...NOT Arol. Give him a day, max!) and has no problem talking to you over the phone and answering all of your questions (I had many! And he was so patient). His friendliness and easygoing attitude puts you at ease. But he's also so, so professional. And, of course, his photography skills are unparalleled. He also has you fill out an informative shot sheet prior to the wedding so that you can articulate any particular shots you want and any other details he needs to know. I was extremely impressed by this thorough and excellent preparation. But anyway, back to his photography...the price is on the higher side, yes, but it is worth the splurge and is extremely fair for the quality AND sheer quantity of photos he provides you. Trust me, we were pinching pennies but AJH Photography was one investment we correctly believed was worth the price. I was impressed not only by how beautiful my photos were, but also by how many he provided. AND, you get all the rights to the photos, which saves you so much money being able to print them yourselves. Finally, the packaging in which we received our final product had some extra goodies in it (I won't spoil for anyone who books him)...under promises, over delivers!

    About 4 years ago I got to see Leon Bridges in a venue with about 12 people. This was before he was selling out arenas, showing up on Grammy red carpets, and getting covers on Rolling Stone magazine. This is how I feel about Arol. He is so above and beyond talented, and should (and probably will soon) be doing the weddings of celebrities and royalty.

    If you know anything about photography, you don't need to read this review, because a few seconds on his website and you'll see that he's in a different league than the rest, and you've probably already booked him. Even without knowing much about photography, you'll still be able to feel his photos with your heart, and not just see them with your eyes. This is because he puts his heart into his craft. Something that websites also can't describe is personality. From the moment I met Arol I felt great. He has this happiness and passion that is truly contagious, and had he not been at my wedding taking photos, I would have wanted him there as a guest. He has so much fun taking the photos, and we all see and feel that, and it makes all of the photos that much better - because we were all happy to take them because he was behind the camera.

    Do yourself a favor and book him before he's too famous and too expensive for any of us to afford. He is without a doubt the best in the business, and by hiring him you will see this like we did.

    We found AJH Photography through our venue’s suggestion of photographers. When we saw his work, we immediately knew he would be the one who would capture our special day. We looked at other photographers, doing our due diligence, only to come back to Arol over and over again. The way he uses lighting was amazing and we wanted our photos to look just as elegant. He was able to capture the essence of our union in a very professional and artistic manner. Every picture told a story designed to allow us to revisit these precious moments. We couldn’t have found a better photographer to document this most special of days.

    We found Arol on the preferred vendor list that our venue Vista West gave us. We did a lot of research of photographers in Austin and every time we always came back wanting to pick Arol. He is the most knowledgeable that we spoke to not only about his own profession but questions we had about wedding planning in general! His pricing is very reasonable especially for the top-notch quality of pictures you get but also because you are also getting a photographer that you can contact any time with any question and he is more than happy to answer it.
    I found that working with Arol was easy, fun, and stress free. He took the guess work out of everything and also communicated with us when changes needed to be made, etc.
    The day of the wedding could not have gone better, we owe a lot of that to Arol, he stuck to the schedule and made everything run extremely fast and efficient. He is so kind and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera.
    We just got back out photos and we are obsessed with every single picture. There isn't one that we didn't love.
    If you don't hire Arol to photograph your wedding, you are SERIOUSLY missing out.
    Thanks so much Arol!

    My wife and I spent so much time trying to find the perfect photographer for our wedding until we came across Arol's website. After viewing his portfolio, we knew that he was exactly what we were looking for. Living out of town Arol, made the booking process easy and was always quick to respond to email. The day of our wedding, Arol made sure to not only give his recommendations for the best shots but also ensured we voiced our desires on anything specific we wanted captured. Our pictures came out absolutely amazing. We are so thankful we allowed Arol to capture our special day and would highly recommend him to anyone!

    When I started my wedding planning process, I was constantly told by people to splurge on a good photographer. Thankfully the wedding venue I had chose had a great list of Photographers they have worked with that they heavily recommended. The ones I tried to book were booked out the entire year but they pointed me to AJH Photography. Right when I saw his portfolio I knew this is what I wanted and I'm glad it worked out the way it did.

    He does FANTASTIC work in all low lighting situations, as well as all lighting really, but If your wedding is going to be in doors and at night he will make them breathtaking.

    Right from the get go he responded quickly and was extremely professional. One of the things I love about my photos were the fact I told him that I'd like professionally posed photos as well as candid shots and he did just that. I had many beautiful photos as well as ones that were just downright funny that captured the mood of my wedding.

    He was within our Price range and worth every penny I spent on our package. He was even honest with what package he felt we needed and we never once felt pressured buying something we didn't need. He actually saved us quite a bit from what I originally was going to buy.

    When we did receive the photos they were everything we wanted and more. Super happy with everything and I have recommended him to many coworkers that are currently in the wedding planning process!

    Thank you for everything AJH Photography!

    We enthusiastically recommend AJH Photography to any couple looking for a fabulous photographer and high-quality prints. AJH Photography came highly recommended by the first photographer we booked who wasn’t going to be able to shoot our wedding due to unforeseen events out of their control. With it being short notice, we appreciated Arol’s professionalism and his jumping right in. AJH Photography made the wedding photography process feel enjoyable and effortless. We loved Arol’s ability to bring out a classic, almost Old Hollywood cinematic elegance in our photos. Arol not only provided us with the prints but he also sent them in a beautiful wooden box along with a matching wooden USB. It was a nice touch. We definitely recommend AJH Photography for your wedding and hope you enjoy reliving your wedding over and over through your wedding images as much as we do!

    Can't say enough good things about Arol's photos! He photographed our elopement and though it was a quick session, he was able to get an incredible amount of high quality photos that were better than I could have imagined. His use of lighting is what drew me to hire him in the first place and even with the sun setting fast on us he did not disappoint! He was professional and friendly and made us feel completely at ease. SO happy we found him!

    Arol is an amazing photographer! He shot both our engagement and wedding photos. I initially contacted him to do our engagement photos and scheduling was super easy. He made the session such an enjoyable experience! He also had some great suggestions for locations, poses, and all of the smaller details which made the photos come out perfect! After seeing how good they came out, we had to have him for our wedding as well. Arol was very familiar with our venue (VWR), which was nice because he knew all of the cool spots with great lighting and whatnot. All in all, I couldn't be happier with Arol. I know I'll have these pictures for a lifetime, and I have him to thank for making them so beautiful.

    I knew my choice in photographers was going to be the most important one and I almost can't find the words to say how pleased we are with Arol and the photos that he captured on our wedding day! On top of having a great personality and easy to be around and work with, he has amazing talent that shows in absolutely every picture he took, my pictures were amazing! We had a small wedding, but most important to me, I wanted some really awesome pictures to remember the day by and I am so happy we chose him as our photographer! He was very easy to work with from start to finish and the pictures were ready exactly when he said they would be. I love the style of his photography and the photos he provided will be cherished for many years to come!

    Arol photographed our wedding this summer. We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out. When working with him you can tell he knows what he is doing and how to get things done in a timely manner. After the wedding, many of our guests commented about how friendly, polite, and professional he was. He is phenomenal!

    We are so happy that Arol was as our photographer on our special day! He is so fantastic at what he does! Arol made our day go by so much more smoother by helping us with direction and being so patient with us. You can tell he cares and loves what he does and only wants the best for your special day! He was so sweet, understanding, professional, and absolutely a great photographer! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer then Arol!

    Having Arol as our photographer was one of the best vendor choice we made! We absolutely love our photos and he made the process so easy and relaxed from beginning to end. My husband and I have been in lots of weddings and experienced bossy, barking photographers with bad communication skills, but Arol is none of these! He was wonderful to work with and we are so happy with the end result as well!

    Arol photographed our wedding at Camp Lucy in March 2016 and did an amazing job. He really captured everything we wanted - a fun celebration in a beautiful place. He was quick with the portraits and family photos so everyone could get to the celebration and all the photos still look great. He had our online gallery up in less than 3 weeks and he caught all the important moments perfectly, and lots of fun, candid moments as well.

    Words cannot express how happy we are with our Wedding Photos. WE LOVE THEM!

    Our first impression of Arol can be summed up in these words: humble, friendly,easy to talk to, very genuine ...bottom line: Arol is a highly skilled and talented photographer.

    His photo style and point of views are truly innovative, artistic and beautifully captured. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding - pick this guy. You will be so happy that you did!

    Arol can do what other wedding photographers often don't--make you say wow. He puts you at ease, he has a great personality, and he's easy to work with. He uses light better than all the other photographers we looked at (and we looked at tons of pictures by other photographers before we chose him). He does all the photos you request and creates the photos you'll want to blow up and frame. All I can say is give him a sunset to work with because he'll create some amazing photos. His service is top notch--he communicates with you throughout the process and responds to you immediately when you have questions or problems. We could not be happier with the photos he took for our engagement, bridal, and wedding. They are memories we will cherish for a lifetime.
