Best photographers ever! Jenna did an amazing job capturing our engagement photos and our wedding day. She is so fun and easy to work with and has the perfect eye for great photos.
Jenna was an absolute JOY and DREAM to work with for our wedding. The day was cold and raining and she still managed to capture beautiful, warm images. She was very flexible (even ...
when my mom changed the plan at the last possible minute) and professional. She made me and my now husband feel so confident in front of the camera and took a great variety of images. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Nothing but GREAT things to share about AJ Dunlap photography and her team. I had the pleasure of working with AJ to plan for our wedding photography and worked with Jenna both and...
Carter who took our wedding photographs. The entire team is absolutely sweet and truly care about their job and clients. Jenna and Carter gave us a great day of experience and we incredibly patient in meeting all our needs. Our photos turned out FANTASTICALLY! We had multiple friends and family members comment on how the photos took them back to the day, reliving the moments all over again. Multiple people remarked that our photos truly captured everyone’s joy and emotions during our wedding. Our photos were edited and returned in record time- I was seriously impressed on how quickly these were completed. I could go on and on with kind things to say about AJ Dunlap Photography and team!
This review is way overdue, because I've spent the past few months searching for the words to describe AJ Dunlap and our experience. Apparently, there aren't actual words in the En...
glish language to truly describe it, so I'll just have to try my best! Our wedding photographer was probably my biggest decision I made, because to me, having the perfect person there to capture the best day of our lives, mattered more than the color of the linens, the songs played, or the weather outside. And we truly hit the jackpot with AJ. She seriously has one of the biggest hearts I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and her talent behind the camera?! MY GOODNESS. And on top of that, her turnaround time for photos was impeccable, without sacrificing quality! It was always a happy day when we received a gallery notification from AJ. :) AJ met us in Asheville, NC for our engagement photos at Biltmore, and it was like meeting a friend you've known forever! She also handled my bridal portraits, and it truly was just a glimpse into our fairy tale day. AJ was so patient, kind, and attentive to ideas, questions, emails (trust me, there were many), and she was so organized that I had no concern on our wedding day about everything falling into place perfectly. She was also on board for our potential elopement, as we got closer to the big day and almost decided a trip to elope on the beach might be the ticket. She literally was like a best friend to have during the engagement journey! On our wedding day, her husband Kyle was the second shooter, and let me tell you - they fit into our day seamlessly! Their love and fun demeanor made natural photographs so easy and having them capture our moments was so enjoyable and fun! They truly were one of the best parts of our day to have with us. AJ is also super talented in that she delivered our wedding photos ON MY BIRTHDAY - cue the waterworks!!! I was so blown away by the beautiful images, that at least once a week I scroll through the gallery and find new favorites. AJ was truly our best decision made during our wedding vendor selection process, and I'm so grateful to have her as a lifelong friend. I'm already looking for any opportunity to have them capture our greatest moments again. AJ and Kyle - thank you for being part of our big day. It wouldn't have been complete without you, and we will have those memories captured forever perfectly thanks to you.
AJ and Kyle hands down make the best photography team EVER!! From the first time I talked to AJ on the phone, I knew that I had to have them photograph our wedding! She is so sweet...
, warm and professional! I felt like I had known her for years. She made the entire process super easy and responded to all of my emails and texts the same day I would send them! Talk about organized and super fast service!! AJ and Kyle came to Greensboro several months before our big day to shoot some engagement photos. We had so much fun with them and I could not wait to see them again!
About two months before the wedding, AJ emailed me a "To-Do List" to ensure that everything would run smoothly on our special day. She also created a wedding day timeline which was so helpful and made sure we stayed on track and got all of the photos that were important to us. It was so perfect that I sent this timeline out to other vendors and the bridal party!
On the wedding day, AJ and Kyle arrived to the hotel where we were getting ready ahead of schedule. They both work so well together and are so relaxed that it made taking the pictures fun and even my husband who is not too keen on photos didn’t mind taking them (big plus!!!). We also got our wedding photos back sooner than I anticipated (which I have had many friends in the past not experience with other photographers) and each one is better than the last! I have looked at all of them at least 20 times and see something I love more each time. They all truly captured the emotion and feeling of the day which I absolutely adore reliving!! I cannot say enough positive things about this SWEET and TALENTED couple! They truly went above and beyond for us. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for capturing memories that will last a lifetime and will be passed down for generations to come!! Y'all are the best of the best in the business!!
Having AJ and Kyle photograph our engagement pictures and wedding was one of the best decisions we made! During the engagement session, AJ made us feel completely at ease. She made...
it so easy to be photographed.
Every aspect of our wedding day coverage was perfect. We had a small ceremony followed by a private dinner at our favorite restaurant. With only 30 guests, I was worried there wouldn't be a lot to photograph. AJ and Kyle gave us so many gorgeous pictures. From the details, to the ceremony, to family pictures, everything was perfect. Our family even commented on how easy AJ and Kyle made taking the pictures. I can't recommend them enough!!
It's hard to know where to begin with this review. AJ Dunlap was the first vendor I scheduled and it ended up being the best decision I could have made. As soon as I saw their we...
bsite I knew there was no other photographer that could capture my wedding. Not only are their pictures GORGEOUS, but AJ and Kyle are a husband/wife team whose joy and love for each other clearly spill over into their work. Right from the very beginning it felt as if AJ and I had been friends forever. She is so easy to talk to, bounce ideas off of, organized, and as I already stated her enthusiasm for her photography is unparalleled. She and Kyle were even willing to spend their anniversary with us on our wedding day! Planning from long distance was also easy. AJ was available via phone and email and got back to you ASAP - which is especially important when a face to face meeting isn't always possible. However, when I was in NC, AJ made an effort to meet me for lunch just so we could get to know each other better.
The little details make such a world of differance and AJ and Kyle sure know how to make a bride feel special! It always felt like ours was the only event they had (even though we definitely weren't!), they sent a sweet "welcome" gift after we officially contracted their services, sent a Christmas card, and even recommended vendors for the big day (several of which we used!).
The day of the wedding, they were on time, kept to our schedule and were so friendly with everyone. They were not intrusive and blended in to all the events to capture the important moments. Being photographed is not something my husband and I feel comfortable doing, but AJ and Kyle made the experience relaxed, easy and fun. Our wedding party all felt the same way. This ease showed in our photos which were more amazing than I already knew they would be. And we didn't have to wait long! AJ sent me a sneak peek photo the very next day and had our pictures back to us within a couple of weeks. We are currently designing our wedding album together and I can't wait to see the finished product!
I cannot recommend AJ Dunlap Photography enough! Not only did we have a great experience resulting in even more amazing photos, but I feel as if we gained friends as well!
Once we saw A.J.'s photos from another wedding, we knew immediately that we had to have her as our wedding photographer!! Every single photo of hers is amazing! Even better is that...
A.J. and Kyle worked together as a perfect team to capture every detail of our wedding. They showed up with smiles on their faces ready to capture our day. Taking pictures was effortless during our wedding and A.J. did a great job of directing our friends and family as well. Some of our favorite shots are the candid shots of everyone dancing. All of their pictures are so clear and beautiful, we could not ask for anything more! We can't wait to use A.J. again for future life events!
AJ Dunlap Photography was an absolute dream to work with. Both AJ and her husband Kyle are phenomenally talented photographers and make everything so easy. From the first moments t...
hat I spoke with AJ, I knew her easy-going nature would translate into beautiful pictures and I was right. AJ makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and that translates into truly wonderful pictures. On top of that, AJ is incredibly organized and good at “wrangling” large groups of people quickly and easily to make sure that all your family shots turn out wonderfully. I was in shock when I saw the pictures and what a great job she did capturing all the moments. AJ delivered “sneak peeks” within days and the full album was in my inbox in under a month - something that few other busy wedding photographers can do! I would definitely recommend AJ to any bride and groom that value the timeless keepsakes that your wedding photos will offer you.
So first off, they're a wife/husband team so you get two photographers right off the bat. If you haven't seen their pictures yet, you should go see them because they're awesome. ...
From the first phone call to the wedding day, AJ was upbeat and excited about photographing our wedding. An engagement session is included in the price which allowed us to get to know each other. She was always organized and prepared when we met. She’d come early to check out the area for a session to see what would be the best locations to photograph in. She made us start thinking about the wedding day schedule so that we would have enough time to get all the photographs in that we wanted. And she stuck to that schedule so that we could get to rest of what we needed to do. We received our photos online and on a USB stick in the mail and her turnaround time was so fast. She had some previews up three days after the wedding and then the rest of them were ready a week and a half after that. I was delighted to have her as our photographer and would highly recommend her. Oh yeah, and she photographed our wedding 7 months pregnant. Did I mention she was dedicated?
I cannot say enough good things about A.J. and Kyle. I wish there were more stars to give. They are so good at what they do, and such good people that you forget they're your photo...
graphers! They're photographic style captured every emotion possible and their work is beyond compare.
A.J.'s photography can speak for itself: it captures the moment in an incredible way. From our engagement session, to our bridesmaids and groomsmen portraits, to our newly married...
husband and wife portraits, to the party pics, we love the story her photography tells about our love for each other, our friends, and our family. The reason I think A.J. and her awesome husband Kyle are able to capture such amazing emotion is the time they put in to getting to know the couples they are working with. You truly feel that they are your friends! They are! They are professional, attentive, relaxed, happy, flexible, and helpful; so much so, that when you're with them you can be yourself. This opens up the opportunity for them to photograph the real you. We would recommend A.J. Dunlap to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, and we plan to use her again for future photography for our family! She and Kyle ROCK.
One of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding was choosing A.J. and Kyle, with A.J. Dunlap Photography, to be our photographers. A.J. and Kyle were recommended t...
o us by a co-worker and we knew they were the right photographers for us from the first time we met. They are extremely personable, more than helpful (whether it is during a shoot or planning for the wedding), and their photos are amazing! For our engagement photos, we were nervous at first because we are not the type of people that like to be in the spotlight. However, A.J. and Kyle made the photo shoot so fun and carefree that we couldn't believe two hours had passed when we were finished.
A.J. was also so easy to work with leading up to the wedding. She was able to address any concerns we had and was very prompt with her responses when we reached out to her. We knew that we wanted to take the majority of our pictures before the ceremony (which I highly recommend) and A.J. helped us develop a very detailed timeline which made the day flow so smoothly. Additionally, A.J. and Kyle worked so efficiently, that we were able to capture all the photos we really wanted. Our friends and family were very impressed with their upbeat personalities and their professionalism.
As far as our photos, we could not be happier! A.J. and Kyle were able to capture every big and small event from our wedding and this is something we know we will cherish for a lifetime. We have also received nothing but endless praises from our family and friends about the amazing quality of our photos. We would highly recommend the A.J. Dunlap Photography team for your special event! We promise you will love working with them and you will forever cherish the memories they capture for you!
Kyle and AJ were absolutely amazing at what they do! They captured every moment we had and I will forever cherish the memories that we created! I will totally choose them for ANY p...
hotography purposes!
Using AJ was one of the best decisions I've made. Beyond the fact that she is an absolutely incredible photographer, she was amazing to work with. AJ got to know Raf and I as peopl...
e, taking care to make sure she understood what we where looking for with our big day, beyond what we where looking for with the photos. She never referred to us as the Gray/Secundo wedding, but as Megan and Raf :). She took the time to understand the vision for the wedding. Beyond that her and Kyle were SO easy to work with! She let me know what to expect upfront, set realistic expectations, and could not have done a better job managing the timeline of the day. She made sure we got the photos we wanted in the time we had (we were working against a setting sun!) The photos were breathtaking and I would recommend AJ to anyone!
When my husband and I were deciding what was most important to us on our wedding day, a great photographer was on our top 3 "must have" list. We did some searching online and came ...
across A.J Dunlap Photography. I am so glad we found them! We initially met with them last fall to take engagement pictures and it was a great experience! With A.J. you get not one, but two great photographers because her husband Kyle also takes photos. They made us feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. We knew after seeing our engagement pictures that we wanted them for the wedding also. Planning a wedding can get stressful at times, it was so reassuring to be able to get in touch with A.J so easily. She responds super quickly to phone calls, emails, and even text messages. On our wedding day they arrived early to get a look at the set up of the venue so they would know exactly how everything would play out. A.J and Kyle are so personable and friendly, the interaction between them and the wedding party just flowed so smoothly. I am so happy with the amount and quality of pictures that we received from the wedding and reception. They even hosted a "first look" in their home for us so we could see the photos before anyone else. I highly recommend using A.J Dunlap Photography for capturing all of lifes great moments. You will have beautiful pictures to look back on forever!
AJ and Kyle were awesome! They did such an amazing job on my engagement and wedding photos. They were very professional and took care of everything the day of, I didn't have to w...
orry about a thing. They captured everything I wanted and then some.

day. They are able to catch really great moments, while remaining unobtrusive. Highly recommend!
Truly A.J. and Kyle are the most amazing photographers to ever grace the Earth. Not only are they the sweetest couple and the friendliest people in the world, but their photography...
is outstanding. I have reviewed my photos with other vendors and they too are truly amazed. AJ and Kyle will work with you on anything and will do any and everything in their power to make your pictures not only beautiful but representative of who you are. We really struggled to pick a photographer, especially because of price, and although they were a little more then we were planning on spending, through their expertise and knowledge of the business we actually ended up saving money. I would recommend them time and time again and should I ever need another photographer (Baby time perhaps?!) they will be the ONLY photographers I will call. Sincerely love these two!
AJ and her husband Kyle were amazing. They were incredibly thoughtful and truly have an eye for awesome photography. I'm extremely happy with the way our photos turned out. I'm so ...
glad we went with them. I can't imagine what our wedding would have been like without them. They went above and beyond my expectations.
