  Ruth & Paul did portrait photos for our family. They were creative, relaxed, and made the photography session an overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

  Personable, thoughtful, professional

  August Paul was truly more than we could ask for. He was so professional but down to earth. He was considerate of our requests and playful with our pictures. As an added bonus, he was affordable. I would definitely recommend him.

  A Memorable Part of Our Wedding

  We hired August Paul Photography for an engagement session and 8-hours on the wedding day (which included two photographers) for 3,200. For Paul's level of professionalism and skill this was beyond a deal. During our consultation, Paul got to know us as a couple and explained his vision for what wedding photography should be. From the beginning we were floored by his artistic genius and down to earth personality. He was continually open to our questions and concerns.
  
  Our engagement session at St. Marks was so much fun! Even awkward as we were, Paul made us feel at ease. It didn't feel like a photography shoot, but a laid back trip to water.
  
  On our wedding day, Paul and Sam were one of the reasons everyone had so much fun. Guests have continually told me they loved my photographers. They cared about getting the shots that mattered and also about leaving behind a lasting impression, on both the guests and the wedding party. I couldn't imagine having hired anyone else!
  
  Thank you Paul!

  I cannot recommend Paul enough as a photographer! He is so sweet, so kind, so much fun, I feel like I need more life events so that I can have Paul there to capture them because my husband and I truly like Paul as a person and want to hang out with him! Not only that, but Paul is an absolute artist. He is able to find the genuine, candid beauty in every moment and capture it in the most beautiful way. Any professional photographer can take high quality photographs, but if you look at Paul's photographs there is just something different and magical about them. Also, I don't think my husband and I have ever laughed as much as we did during our engagement photoshoot--we didn't even know if we wanted engagement photos, and now I am so glad we did because it was such a fun day that I will never forget! Thank you so much Paul for capturing our memories in such a beautiful way!

  Paul’s work is nothing short of incredible. Let me tell you why. First of all, his beliefs on wedding pictures: they’re what you’re left with (besides your marriage) when all is said and done. All of this planning, stressing, communication… and it’s all for one day, right? When we met with Paul to vet him as a candidate for our wedding photographer, he told us that he would capture not only the moments of our wedding, but how it felt to be there that day.
  
  Now, fast forward to engagement picture day. My then-fiance and I were wondering why we ever booked this session, we hate having our pictures taken, why would we pay for torture?! But Paul turned it into such a fun experience. We left that session high on life, laughing about our poses and just chattering away. And the pictures? Amazing and unique. We’ll treasure them for years.
  
  Fast forward again to the wedding day. Paul is cracking everyone in the bridal suite up and taking pictures of us with our breakfasts. Then it’s time for the formal shots of the family and bridal party. In my experience, this is usually a drawn-out affair where you’re sick of smiling and your guests are tired of waiting but he made it happen so fast and it was so fun. All of the married people in our wedding were saying “Where did you find him?!” “Why didn’t we have him?” For real. And then the pictures came in. We didn’t notice Paul much after the formal pictures but he had been everywhere. He really captured how it felt that day. When we look at the pictures he’s given us, we grin ear to ear and even though it was only a month ago, we remember what each moment felt like. Not many photographers can accomplish this.
  
  Paul is SO passionate. He’ll do anything to get the perfect shot. He’s also very calm and kind (something you definitely want in any vendor you book.) Most of all though, he is so so fun and extremely talented!

  Paul and his team (Kris) are a dynamic duo who become your friends by the end of the wedding process! Paul believes in creating that relationship with his client(s) to make them feel more comfortable in front of the camera! AND you can tell when you see his final photos. They are simply beautiful, breathtaking and mesmerizing!
  
  Paul made sure that all the details were set in place BEFORE the rush of questions that come from other vendors and family. He will personally call you a week or two before the wedding.
  
  He plays music to set the mood, whether it be romantic (like at our engagement) or party music.
  
  The sweetest part was the gift he and Kris gave us on the wedding day! As a bride, you are super excited to preview the pictures. He took pictures from a Instax camera and handed them to us after the reception! I nearly cried because of how sincere the gift was! Now I don't feel antsy waiting for the photos to come in!
  
  We also go the slow motion photobooth, which was a hit at our reception! The line went for minutes and out the door! Got feedback from family and friends and they loved the idea!

  Working with Paul and Ruth was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding and our engagement shoot. He will make you laugh and feel totally comfortable even if you're not used to taking portraits. He's great at giving direction but also keeping things light and fun for you and your family and friends. We got our photos back and had an incredible spread of pictures that captured tons of fun candids but also many intimate moments that we'll treasure forever.
  
  On the business side, reviewing pricing, contracts, and invoices was a painless, straightforward process. Communication was great - Paul was quick to answer my emails about questions I had.
  
  You can trust Paul to do a wonderful job with your wedding (or any other kind of shoot, I imagine!).

  August Paul Photographers were amazing! In addition to being extremely prompt, and professional they were also flexible with any requests. Being an Indian wedding full of traditions and culture, they were not only able to keep up but made the experience so much more enjoyable. They were also very creative with their angles and shoots. Not only was I impressed throughout the whole process but even my guests noticed how great they were to make everyone comfortable and have fun. As a bride we already have so much on our plate but they made sure to have a few concise and targeted conversations in the beginning to know exactly what I wanted l, then everything was done accordingly without much direction needed afterwards. When we finally got the pictures we were all blown away. The amount of detail that went into each picture was magazine worthy. The colors, angles and most of all the ability to catch the emotions..I normally don't like pictures and to pose for pi

  Paul is an incredibly gifted artist. Even when circumstances changed, he worked it into artistic genius. You can't find that with many other photographers. He is one of a kind. I will absolutely have him do our baby's first photos too!

  The photographer is extremely willing to travel for photoshoots; for me, he took a detour from wedding photography and took my university graduation photos. Both luckily and unluckily for me, it started pouring halfway through our planned time- we improvised and headed towards a somewhat nearby nature preserve. Some of my favorite photos to date came from that rainy session! Paul is also one of the few who value the use of film (as opposed to solely digital shots) and I was lucky enough to have some film shots. The quality of the prints, soft feel and "natural-ness" of the skin tones were a welcome change to the sometimes painfully sharp feel of digital shots. Overall, I was very pleased with how we adapted to the unpredictable weather and the portraits produced!

  Paul is the best.
  Well, I may be a bit biased because he's one of my favorite peoples, but getting our engagement photos done by Paul was a blast.
  My then-fiance and I didn't really know what we wanted, but when we talked to Paul, he helped us figure it out, gave us some ideas ...and we rolled with it! Being in Korea at the time, I naturally wanted some photos with a historical landmark, and he (of course) nailed it. *cough cough* awardwinningphoto *cough cough*
  The day quickly turned to night, when it started raining. Rain on an outdoor shoot at night? No bueno. Or so I thought.
  He said something along the lines of, "This is awesome! I just got a new lens just for this! Let's do this!" And despite frizzy hair and wet shoes, we took some of the best shots of the day.
  Paul is a fun person to work with, and also very considerate and talented. But for us, the most important thing was authenticity. Paul is genuine, and he does his work with passion.
  My favorite moment of the day?
  That would be Paul yelling at us from half a block away, "Give her a kiiissssssssssssss!!!!!!!"

  My wife and I were completely enamored to see the results of our engagement photo session and our wedding ceremony/reception. August Paul Photography had managed to capture every precious moment with such vivid emotion and vibrant creativity. We were so impressed that we immediately referred some of our closest friends to their services, and our friends were ecstatic about their photos, too. Highly professional, skilled and provided excellent service from start through finish; we highly recommend August Paul Photography for all of your important events.
