What 2024 bridal couples had to say about us!
“We hired AJ’s for our wedding pictures/video and everything turned out perfect. Allen beautifully captured all the important moments from first looks, pictures with our horse, dogs, family, ceremony, and reception. I’ve heard of to many friends getting married and not seeing their wedding pictures until weeks…. Sometimes months after. We had a 50 photo preview literally before I could get all the Bobby pins out of my hair before bed the night of our wedding.
There’s plenty of great photographers to choose from however, few have the experience and professionalism provided AJs. We have so many great pictures and video footage to enjoy for years to come at a very reasonable price. We would absolutely recommend AJ’s for Wedding Photography and videography."

"We had the pleasure of working with Allen! He was so thorough when going through family dynamics to make sure we got every family photo possible. My husband and I could not believe the turnaround time. We had all of our pictures back by the time we were home for our honeymoon! We also used AJ's video service, and it did not disappoint. When we asked Allen what was the benefits of a video the one that stuck out the most was years from now not everyone will still be around, but we will be able to see their smiles and hear their voices! We are so glad we ended up doing the video and would have regretted it if we didn't. We highly recommend AJ's Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer or videographer! we truly could not recommend anyone better!"

“AJ’s Photography was so great with communicating throughout the process of planning our wedding. With the chaos of planning a wedding, communication is key especially since we were celebrating both of our cultures. We took on the insane notion of holding two ceremonies in one day of celebration. Not only did Allen help to map out and ease us from one ceremony to the other, he and his videographer did an amazing job of truly capturing our day! If you’re thinking about it, don’t, we are so in love with our wedding video and photos, we’ve been sharing them with everyone! Not only that but the turn around time for receiving both was so fast, we got to continue to live in our wedding bliss through our video and pictures."

“My wife and I chose AJ’s Photography for our wedding and couldn’t have been happier! Our photographer Laura was incredible. She found all the best locations for beautiful photos, and was so helpful in guiding us through a variety of poses. She also made sure to get special request photos, which we really appreciated. We were very impressed by how quickly the photos and video were finished. The day after our wedding we had a set of preview photos to share, and a couple days after that we were treated with two preview videos. Two weeks later we received the full collection of photos and complete wedding movie. Everything was perfect! We’re so grateful to be able to remember our special day with this beautiful collection. If anyone is looking for photography services for their wedding, we can’t recommend AJ’s Photography enough, they gave us everything we hoped for. Thank you Allen and Laura!"
