We are so happy we chose Armando as our photographer! He was very communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. We are not the kind of people that are comfortable in front of a c...
amera, but Armando’s calm demeanor and simple instructions made it easy. He includes an engagement photo session so we can get to know him and get used to having our photo taken. We thought we didn't need it, but we are so glad we had it. It really did make the wedding day photos feel much more natural, plus we now have even more beautiful photos! He was happy to answer any and as many questions as we had leading up to the wedding, he showed up on time, he got us our deliverables when he said he would, and we thought he was very reasonably priced for his quality of work. On the wedding day it felt like he wasn't even there, yet he captured incredible photos of all the important moments, and some very fun dance floor candids. We love our photos and truly enjoyed working with Armando!
BOOK HIM! He's so kind and takes amazing pics! I loved that the day didn't feel like a photoshoot and he caught everything. I didn't realize how much I missed at my wedding until I...
saw his pics. He's amazinggggg.
Armando and his assistant at AJ Photography were nothing short of spectacular for our wedding. From the start, with our enchanting engagement photos in the snow, we knew we were in...
excellent hands. Armando has this incredible knack for capturing the essence of moments, making even the simplest of scenes look breathtaking. His ability to blend candid and posed photography ensures that each photo tells a part of our love story.
On the wedding day, Armando not only continued his amazing photo work but also amazed us with his videography skills. Handling both roles, he captured the day’s emotions, the laughs, tears, and dances, in a way that felt both comprehensive and intimate. We received around 1,200 stunning photos and a highlight video that brought everyone to tears. Additionally, his willingness to provide raw footage of our ceremony and speeches was a gift beyond price, allowing us to relive those heartfelt moments exactly as they happened.
Armando's dual role as photographer and videographer was amazing, offering us a seamless narrative of our day without the need to coordinate between multiple vendors and for a lower price than booking a separate videographer. His presence was reassuring and unobtrusive, capturing every detail without ever feeling in the way. The quality and style of his work, combined with his professionalism and passion, made our wedding memories uniquely beautiful.
AJ Photography exceeded our expectations in every way. Armando's work is a testament to his talent and dedication to capturing love stories. Any couple would be lucky to have him document their day.
Armando was exactly what we were hoping to find in a photographer. We started working with him for our engagement photos which was in Colorado. He had another event that convenient...
ly coincided with him being in our state that gave us the opportunity to work together from start to finish. We knew he would take more candid photos which is what we wanted, more of a fly on the wall to capture our guests interacting with each other. He was not one to gather groups for photos and we had to have our coordinator step in to gather certain family photos. The second photographer was amazing as well, they both exceeded our expectations! All in all, we were extremely pleased with him and the final product!
Armando was the best choice we made for our wedding day. He was responsive, professional and produced amazing photos that we will cherish forever. He took the time to have multiple...
calls with us to make sure we captured everything we wanted of our day. We could not recommend him enough.
Armando and his team are the best. Always respond quickly and be flexible. It was easy and fun to work with them. We would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a professional ...
photographer.
AJ photography went above and beyond our expectations for both photography and videography! Armando is a one of a kind photographer who is passionate and dedicated to his art and w...
e couldn’t recommend him more. Not only is he good at what he does, he’s also very kind, and wonderful with communication. I was never left in the dark about any details or time lines. Armando took extra photos of us and our wedding parties that were out of the norm and it was wonderful to find someone willing to go outside of the box when it came to shots. If you tell him something is important, he will make sure it gets done, and is done to perfection. We are so grateful to have such wonderful and beautiful memories of our wedding day for years and years to come. If you want both quality and quantity, AJ photography is your go to. Compassionate, professional, passionate, and utterly devoted service. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. Fantastic work!
The film & photos literally brings tears to my eyes. Everything came was superb!
Armando and his team were lovely to work with for our August 2022 wedding. They were friendly, helped put us at ease, and took beautiful photographs. As a mixed couple, we both loo...
k very different, but Armando and his second photographer did a fabulous job with their photos and editing. They sent us the final photos a little bit late, but I was never concerned that would be an issue.
We had just one criticism: there were a couple of elements (the escort card display and the buffet tables) that we wanted photos of, but we didn’t mention to the photographers specifically as we assumed they’d photograph a lot of the decor and other items. Unfortunately, those two things were not photographed, which was a bummer but taught us that if you want something specific photographed, be sure to list it in your shot list! Otherwise, though, it was a delight to work with Armando.
Armando was great from the moment we started working with him to when we got our amazing photos and videography! He was available to discuss specifics and provide samples of his wo...
rk beforehand as well as was on time, friendly, and professional on the wedding day. He patiently worked with us to curate the moments and products we envisioned. It was all around a great experience to work with Armando and AJ Photography!
He was great to work with and captured our day beautifully. Our wedding video was absolutely perfect.
Our photographer was amazing. Armando was professional and broke down the whole process to us. He took beautiful pictures of the wedding party and our guests. He even took my fathe...
r's reaction photos. I had originally told him we didn't have time to include them in the schedule but he made the effort to do so regardless. That was the difference between a great photographer and a fantastic one to me. I am forever grateful for that. I recommend Armando to anyone who is looking for an amazing photographer.
Armando was wonderful! He went above and beyond with meeting our needs. We had an unexpected raining wedding day but Armando was accommodating, professional and took beautiful pict...
ures. We are grateful for having him as our photographer on our big day! Thank you Armando.
If you need a photographer, look no further. Armando takes such beautiful photos and is just the kindest human. We very much enjoyed having him document our day. He did our engage...
ment photos as well and was very helpful with suggestions on where to shoot them based on what we were looking for. We would definitely use him again!
Armando and his wife did such an amazing job for our wedding!! We had to postpone our bigger ceremony and reception until August because of COVID-19, but still had a small ceremony...
on our original wedding date in April to still get married. Armando was so flexible with us, even when changes had to be made 2 days before the wedding! Not only did he help alleviate stress and reschedule us for August, he also agreed to be there for our original date in April. Armando and his wife are so easy to work with, very laid back, and do incredible work. They capture your big day and all of the special moments without interrupting or causing stress, they made the day go so smoothly! The photos and videos themselves blew us away when we saw them for the first time, they are absolutely breathtaking!! He truly captured who we are as a couple and the photos are everything I could have dreamed they would be. Armando’s rates are so much more reasonable than anything else I’ve seen in this area, he gets the edited photos and video to you quickly, and having two photographers was such a great way to capture all the different aspects and moments of our day. We can’t wait to have Armando and his wife be a part of our celebrations in August as well!! We would highly recommend him to anyone needing photos for any type of special occasion.
