Picture Perfect Memories
We hired Avina Photography to help capture photo & video for our wedding celebration. John and his team did an amazing job. Every time we go through the pictures we are taken back to the special moments. John is responsive and remembered all the random picture ideas we had for getting ready and while we celebrated. Thank you Avina photography for letting us relive those memories through the photos & videos. -

During my initial evaluation phone call with John Avina, I remember being impressed by how for every problem he had a Plan B, C, and sometimes even D and E! Whether it was for rain (a "rain day" shoot on the next sunny day in our wedding attire included in the package), or for bad traffic/unexpected cancellation (a photographer cousin on call to take his spot if he wasn't going to be able to show up), John had a backup plan for everything. For my anxious mind, this was a perfect fit!
Our engagement photo session was at a bookstore and a park, and my photoshoot-uncertain husband was pleasantly surprised at how much he enjoyed it. John is a laid-back, friendly guy with an attention-to-detail that balances well with his chill side. We still love his photos from this shoot so much!
For our wedding day, we also booked our videographer through him. John confirmed our schedule and vision multiple times with some final zoom meetings. Given the thunderstorms on the horizon, both John and our videographer were flexible with locations and timing. Luckily we were still able to do our first look and subsequent wedding party photos in the park as planned, and so when the rain finally started right after the ceremony, our party bus adventure into downtown was mostly for bonus city shots in the rain. I had bought some clear umbrellas, and we got some great photos out of it, to the point where we didn't need to use the "rain day" included in the package.
After the wedding, John sent four preview photos within 24 hours (super speedy!) and they were all amazing. The rest of the photos came in about a month and a half, but there were over 1500 photos which was great. I really appreciate the ability to download freely all the photos that were taken. I recommend Avina Photo to anyone looking to spend a little less in the extremely pricy world of wedding photography, but aren’t willing to sacrifice professionalism and quality. -

Love the Avina duo!
We have had two engagement shoots with John and Emily and they were both amazing. They were very flexible with location, time and the style that we wanted from the photos. The shoots were a blast and John was very creative with poses and props that we wanted. Both times, we received the photos back the next day. We can’t wait until the wedding because we know they will do an amazing job! -

John was AMAZING!! My make up artist ran behind on schedule and I was upset at the beginning of our wedding as I felt ripped off my getting ready experience.. when John sent me our pictures I was soo happy that he was able to capture some amazing shots with my bridesmaids and my parents. They turned out amazing and I was able to move on emotionally from that experience as I thought we weren’t going to have any of those moments. He was just so professional and very accommodating with how the evening played out as I felt everything was falling apart, he made it all work. It was a rainy day and he still managed to get some great shots at our venue. Thank you again John! And thank you for dealing with my crazy family! Especially my sister lol!! -

Fun, laid back, and professional!
Johnny did our engagement shoot this past October (2018). The session was relaxed and so much fun! Johnny has a great personality and makes you feel comfortable. He is extremely professional and ensures all your needs are being met. Throughout the session, Johnny was finding new places and poses to try- you could tell he was putting his best effort in to make the shoot as fun as possible for us! He got us the photos back extremely fast and we booked him for our wedding soon after our engagement session! I highly recommend Johnny to anyone looking for a photographer! -

John made my wedding day a day to remember he was punctual, attention to detail, patient, and knowledgeable. He gives amazing direction, he knows the space he is shooting which gives you the opportunity to get a variety of beautiful shots in a shorter period of time. We used him for our engagement photos a wedding day, and I would not have chosen anyone else. -
