I originally hired AJ's Photography to take engagement photos, without regret. The photos came out so amazing that I knew I wanted AJ's team to be there on our wedding day. Allen and his team are extremely professional and made everything stress free. Allen Bartnick went above and beyond expectations changing his role as photographer to helping the groomsmen put on their boutonnieres to helping me carry my insanely poofy/heavy dress.
AJ's photography provided many services including our photos, video and photo-booth. By the end of the reception, Allen had already put together a slideshow of photos already being displayed!! Before the team left, they handed my husband and I a flash-drive containing all the pictures from our photo-booth. I could not believe how fast they got things done. By the next morning, there had already been recaps of both our ceremony and reception posted on our Facebook pages! I can continue going on and on about how pleased we were to work with AJ's. Our photos were all absolutely beautiful... I am beyond happy to have had Allen and his team capture all the best moments from one of the most important days of our lives. We cannot wait to relive these moments for years to come... Thank you Allen for all that you do.

Hands down, the BEST Photographer in the universe.
I cannot say enough great things about Ajs photography!! Allen at AJ’s Photography went above and beyond our expectations. I honestly could not have done it without him! He made the process extremely natural and fun. If you look at the collection, you can feel the emotions, and that is exactly what you would want portrayed. I can relive the moments by looking at them. The quality is incredible!! He definitely has an art to his photos. He is so dedicated to his work. At one point, Allen almost killed himself on a fallen tree branch, just to get the perfect shots. I highly recommend AJ’s photography, they are professional, affordable, FUN, and make you feel at ease. My family and friends are eternally grateful for all of his help and support along the way and of course for these sweet beautiful memories that he captured.

AJ’s photography exceeded our expectations!
AJ’s photography was the first vendor I booked as soon as we got engaged because for years I had looked at the weddings he had done and loved them! Allen was extremely flexible to work with during the COVID-19 pandemic and provided us with many options when having to move our original planned wedding date. Allen was very responsive at all hours of the day when I would contact him and got right back to me. We used AJ’s photography for both photo and video at our wedding and I am extremely pleased with our finished product! The photos we have from our wedding day are absolutely beautiful and paint a perfect picture of just how wonderful our day was. I highly recommend using AJ’s photography to capture your special day.

An Amazing Photographer/Videographer
Where to even start! You book your Wedding Photographer hoping for beautiful shots of your special day, and you get that and so much more from Allen (AJ’s Photography)!!!! His work speaks for itself. The style of his photography is simply stunning and he managed to snap every little detail of the day. The angles, lighting, and his creativeness were perfect! He was also so spontaneous and made our day fun and made us feel comfortable. We had so much support over the last two years from him. We had to reschedule our wedding 3 different times, and he was always so understanding, patient, and attentive with us. Trying to plan a wedding after a baby and during a pandemic wasn’t easy, but Allen never gave up on us, and stayed with us through it all. He is truly an awesome guy! From early afternoon until the end of the night, he was running around getting photos from all angles. He also provided our Videography for our big day! Our Wedding video is the best quality, sound and picture you ask for! Our pictures are absolutely beautiful. All I can say is WOW! He always had great advice/recommendations and tips for us! The communication was always 100%. Whenever I had a question he always told me to just call him, and he always spoke to me the same day or called me back immediately. He really gave us the best memories and we are so grateful to him. He captured all the fun and love of our family and closest friends. We can’t recommend him enough and will finish by saying just book him, it will be the best decision you make!!! Thank you Allen!

Wow, it's not often that we're at a loss for words but saying thank you just doesn't seem to cover it. We're so glad we could be a part of your day and to create the memories that you'll be able to look back on forever!

My husband and I hired AJs Photography & we had an incredible experience and received gorgeous photos.
Allen was amazing to work with, and our wedding pictures are gorgeous. He was on time, fun to work with, and his professionalism & knowledge were evident. I am so grateful we hired AJs Photography because we have beautiful photos to cherish forever. In addition, while planning our wedding (and modifying due to COVID), Allen remained extremely flexible and was always willing to answer our questions. We will definitely recommend AJs Photography to all of our friends and family!

Hiring AJ's Photography for our wedding photos and video was the best decision we ever made! He did such a fantastic job at capturing our special day.

Allen is absolutely hands-down the best photographer I have ever dealt with! He knows just the right angles and just the right positioning in his photography as well as perfect timing of the right light needed in photos. It was nothing but a positive experience with Allen and I highly recommend you to use him for your photos as well! He put all of our needs first before his own and it was overall an outstanding experience.

Perfect fit
AJ’s photography was affordable and amazing quality photos and video. He was extremely flexible to plan changes and provided great support during the pandemic. He was always available to get updated wedding plans. One of my family’s favorite part about him was the sense of humor. He brought great humor that meshed perfectly with our bridal party’s dynamic to make the time taking pictures and organizing family shots easy and fun. Last but certainly not least the quality and quantity of the photos were amazing, and we had our digital copies within 2 weeks! Not to mention watching our wedding video made us feel like we were right back on that day, it captured many candid moments we never realized even happened. My husband and I are over the moon with the work AJ’s photography provided for us

Beautiful Pictures
Hiring AJ's Photography for our wedding was one of our first decisions we made with our vendors. While we planned a 100+ guest wedding, due to Covid-19 we ended up having 9 people total with an intimate ceremony and dinner this past weekend on June 6th! Our pictures came out so well! Since we only had pictures done, I've only worked with Allen but his expertise with working with different lighting made our pictures amazing. We had a few poses we wanted and he accommodated all of them. He took charge with our "first look" and all of the pictures that followed, which really helped. He posed us and our families and the day was very organized. Allen also has a great sense of humor so he got some candid laughing pictures while posing us and talking with us. Highly recommend hiring AJ's Photography!

Absolutely the BEST!
My husband and I are in awe over the photos we receive from AJ's Photography and cannot stop looking at them. Two years ago today we got engaged, 5 months ago we got married (during COVID pandemic), and just last week we went ahead with capturing the most marvelous wedding photos. After having our wedding canceled twice (we still got married as planned back in March anyway), Allen of AJ's Photography worked with us throughout the whole experience and we decided on a wedding photo session (since the reception was canceled). I FINALLY got to wear my wedding dress and feel like a bride. Allen captured all of my best angles and made my husband somehow look even better than he already does. We went to 3 different locations and one costume change after trashing my dress in Oneida Lake. It was a BLAST. I highly recommend AJ's Photography for any event. You won't be disappointed.

Quality work in a timely manner
Allen was a true professional. His work is high quality and his turn around time is insanely fast. He was fun to be around, treated us like gold during our wedding day and captured everything we wanted. He even surprised us with a slideshow of pictures at the reception. We also ordered a video of our wedding. His video and audio quality was superb. The audio was crystal clear and the HD quality on the bluray was great. His pictures and video captured our day just as we remembered it - perfect.

The best photography and Videography around
Our wedding date was September 1st, 2019 and my husband and I were going back and forth on a videographer for long enough and finally he convinced me that I talked about it enough and to look into it. We started looking for someone to capture our day on August 10th, 2019. I knew that finding someone that close to the day was near impossible but we tried anyway. Allen called me within hours of me submitting my request for more information and let me know that our wedding day was miraculously still available. He answered every question I had and even worked with my husband and I to make our day even more special. Kristie was a valuable asset to our day and captured moments that I will forever cherish. Thank you so much for everything you have done and do for newly married couples who want to relive those precious moments again.

AJ’s Photography is the absolute best around!! He captures every moment in each shot! The photos from my wedding day were absolutely stunning!! I received SO many compliments on the albumn!! Allen has done both my sisters weddings & mine and Always Delivers!!!
Each of our albums has “that wow factor” to them & are absolutely gorgeous photos!!!
Allen is great to work with & extremely dependable!! Anytime I would call or email him with a question he would get back to me right away! ( any bride can tell you that having a reliable vendor makes her life so much easier during wedding planning!)
He knows how to work any type of crowd and captures amazing photos.
His website & Facebook page provides sneak peak photos of the wedding the next morning!!
Allen & team are amazing! I would recommend them for any and all events! You will never be let down by this team!

Grasso Wedding 8-24-2019
AJ’s Photography was amazing when it came to what we wanted for our wedding. I’m definitely a picture person who likes moments captured (posed and candid). So, even before I planned on getting married, finding a good photographer was the one and only thing that I needed/wanted to be great and not settle just for a cheap price. I have seen their work throughout the years and have always loved the quality.
I looked around at a few photographers that I had in mind, but AJ’s was so quick to respond and go over all details and what they had to offer, they made the process so easy. A couple weeks leading up to the wedding they sit down with you and go over every detail, times, places/options for photos, write down any special requests you may have. They made me feel confident that I went with the right choice and would get photos that I’ve always wanted.
Morning of event, the photographer was early and able to get started on her own. Our wedding party didn’t have to worry about a thing. The photographer is very experienced and talented that she directed us all and made sure we were all positioned correctly, which made the photos even better.
From getting ready, to your typical group/couple shots, candid photos, I couldn’t have asked for anything better, she surpassed my expectations. The night of the reception she already had a slideshow going of photos she had taken earlier in the day, at that point with the few photos shown, I knew I’d be very happy and was excited to see all the photos.
It was less than a week that all of our photos were ready for pick up! People were amazed at how fast their turnaround time was and loved the photos. When you pick them up they go over in detail what is provided (depending on what package you have chosen), directions and suggestions when using the USB provided.
I would highly recommend AJ’s Photography. With their impeccable customer service, experience and very reasonable prices...you can’t beat it.

AJ’s Photography is the best!! His pictures are amazing you can definitely tell he has the talent and an artistic eye! He’s very easy to get along with and any requests that we had he made sure to capture. He made us feel so relaxed during the pictures. I also liked the fact that you didn’t feel like you had a camera in your face all day. Even out on the dance floor he was there taking pictures but you didn’t realize he was taking pictures. Allen is very professional and funny he was making jokes with us! He definitely goes above and beyond for his clients. And we didn’t have to wait months to get our pictures which is huge! By the next day there were some up on Facebook and within a week they were all done! You won’t be disappointed with AJS Photography!!

Great photographer we couldn’t be happier!
I would strongly recommend Allen to anyone looking for photography, videography, and photo booth services! He is very professional and captures great memories! My wife and I are recently married and we couldn’t have been happier with his work! He arrived early, and was happy to accommodate us with any last minute photo requests! During the reception he put a slideshow of pictures together for our friends and family to see, and the next day he had edited photos on Facebook! He had our wedding photos, over 400 edited and printed less than a week after our wedding! Each photo has printed numbers on the back as well as a digital copy and our very own wedding app to show our photos on our cellphones! We own the our pictures and we were able to make our family and friends prints of our wedding in quicker time than other photographers can get your wedding photos back to you! If you are in the market for any of his services you won’t be disappointed when you hire him! Thanks again Allen for all that you did for our wedding!
