Client Love
What 2025 bridal couples had to say about us!
“If you’re looking for a photographer who is extremely talented, customer service oriented, and is fun to work with, AJ’s is a fantastic choice. He captured our special day so well and is creative with his shots, with the ability to adapt and pivot his approach when challenges are presented during shoots (e.g., smaller kids being difficult, weather being finicky). He also managed to make us laugh a few times among the stress and nerves, with a great sense of humor. He’s really good at giving direction and guidance. He is a true professional and he was great all around! The assistant was also great. Between photography and videography, we found AJ’s to be a great value from a financial standpoint. He had preview photos and the highlight reel completed and delivered to us within two days of our wedding and they looked fantastic. Can’t recommend AJ’s enough!"

"All I can say is WOW! Allen and his crew were absolutely AMAZING! From our very first phone call through the wedding day, Allen was honest, transparent, and always reassuring. As a bride, he truly put things into perspective, calmed my nerves, and reminded us that our day would be nothing short of beautiful. Allen knew exactly which photos to capture — from us as a couple to the bridal party and every detail in between. He created such a relaxed atmosphere and kept us smiling the entire day. We even chose to shoot at two venues, and he never once rushed us, making sure we got every shot we wanted.
His videographer, Logan, was also wonderful — so sweet and attentive, capturing all the right moments perfectly.
I cannot recommend Allen and AJ’s Photography enough. They made our wedding memories unforgettable!"

“AJ’s Photography has been great to work with, from start to finish. Allen is very nice, precise, informative and organized. He was always available for questions and made the process smooth and easy. He is great with keeping you on track with deadlines and sending reminders. Laura, our photographer was amazing! She arrived on time, scoped out the venue and was ready to go. She is very attentive to detail, helpful with positioning and finds picture perfect locations to capture all the special moments. Kristie, our videographer was great capturing our wedding day! Jessica, who ran our photo booth for the reception was great! Our guests had a lot of fun! Thank you to AJ’s Photography for excellent services."

“If you want a seasoned professional, Allen from AJ’s Photography is it! He did an absolutely amazing job capturing our wedding day! The photos are timeless and full of emotion. Every shot tells our story perfectly. Our 3½-hour wedding video is incredible, highlighting all the best moments and making it feel like we’re reliving the day all over again.
Allen is professional, kind, and so easy to work with. He was realistic with timelines, shared his wisdom and was flexible. Many of our friends and family have also worked with him, and everyone agrees that he’s simply the best! If you want breathtaking photos and a video that truly captures the magic of your day, we can’t recommend Allen enough."
