AJH Photography + Cinema

be our photographer/videographer! Not only is he incredibly talented - playing with lighting, capturing just the right angle, and also capturing all the candid moments - but he is also such an easy person to work with! My husband and I generally feel awkward taking pictures, but Arol and his team quickly put us at ease and we couldn't be happier with all the photos he took. The wedding video was also beautiful, and one I am sure we will watch on our anniversaries to come :) My dad has already tried to reserve him for my other brother's TBD wedding, so we certainly would love to work with him again and 100% recommend him to anyone lucky enough to find him!

ing. Arol took charge and not only knocked it out of the park with the photos, but kept everyone on track throughout the day. The photos turned out amazing and I am shocked at how many he delivered, it was over 1000 photos for a six hour wedding day. Thanks Arol for everything!

discuss the details of our wedding with us and our planner. Given that our wedding was quite large and complex, Arol and his video team did an amazing job. We were pleasantly surprised that Arol delivered our photos so quickly, and they look stunning. Although we're still waiting for the video, we're confident that it will be amazing based on Arol's previous work. He also photographed my cousin's wedding three years ago, and their videos were breathtaking. We're extremely grateful to Arol for his outstanding work and can't wait to see the final product.

was FREEZING. Looking at these amazing photographs, you can't tell at all. But it's more than just the gorgeous scenes he created, the beautiful use of light and shadow, and his uncanny ability to capture my husband's elusive smile. Neither of us enjoy being photographed - we don't know which is our "good side", and candid pictures look silly, at best. But with Arol, it didn't matter! He struck the perfect balance between telling us exactly what to do when we were awkward and stuck, and letting us play and live and just be when we were doing well. His energy is both calming and fun, and I felt totally at ease in front of his camera. Did I mention that every photo is beautiful? 10/10, amazing, wonderful, would hire again.

our pictures came amazingly and truly capture the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with him and are so glad we will have his pictures to look back on forever.

be beautiful, but we wanted something true to our experience and to remember our day in vivid color. Arol captured exactly that — our happiest moments in rich color. He is such a pro, he quickly moved through family photos so we could get to our reception and it felt like he was a guest instead of a vendor! My husband can be uncomfy in front of a camera, but he never once showed it when we were working with Arol. I genuinely cannot say enough good things about how fantastic and kind he was and how happy we are to have our day preserved by him!

graphy and videography. Pictures can be tricky and very subjective, but I am glad to say that I do not regret hiring Arol (and his videographer) whatsoever and whole-heartedly recommend this talented photographer. Like I said, pictures can be highly subjective. But you know a photographer is good when EVERYONE (that I knew) can 100% agree that the pictures taken by Arol were amazing. Arol captured moments I didn't realize were moments. The resolution of his pictures were also amazing. Both the slide show and the video highlight really captured the vibe and atmosphere of that night. He was also cool to talk to. If you want some premium, amazing quality, memorable moments captured, look no further and hire this gentleman. He's got some skills.

work with and made the wedding and bridal photo process so easy!

is so good at what he does and capturing all the best moments, that we barely knew he was there because he didn’t have to be in our faces. He also didn’t have to use obnoxious lighting or flashes to get great photos of us. He truly is a genius at figuring out the perfect lighting and the best locations to get it. He was also very good at getting us to act natural during our poses. His direction was so good and natural that we didn’t feel awkward at all. We have looked at our photos over and over and just love them all! Our friends and family have also gushed about them. My groom is in the wedding industry and has worked with hundreds of photographers and AJ is by far one of the best!!! AJ is also very chill and kind, so it’s easy to have him with you throughout your wedding day. He really made things feel stress-free and worked with the time we allotted for photos beautifully. We were right on time with everything! Do yourself a favor and pick AJ as your photographer!! You won’t regret it!

in total) due to Covid, and he did an amazing job of capturing the intimacy of the day (which was really important to me). He had great energy and was very efficient. I feel we got to completely enjoy the day and take it all in. He blended in well and did a tremendous job of bringing our guard down when we were taking out after wedding portraits. I shouldn't have to tell you that the photos look good. The truth is, they turned out amazing! We couldn't be happier!

completely rework our schedule. We originally had a 3 day schedule planned with Arol and his videographer. Well things changed and we had to rework events and schedules. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect when I had to change our plans as our contract was pretty straight forward and I know some vendors can be unwilling to change without making it difficult or expensive. Well to our surprise Arol was so easy going and understanding and willing to work with our many changes! He took one thing off our plate during the stressful situation of planning a wedding during Covid. Needless to say we already had high praise for him going into the wedding, so he didn't have to do much to keep us happy....but he still blew it out of the water with his and his videographer's services! They were professional, on time, and did a great job of guiding us through the day to make sure we had the best video and pictures. He does a great job of putting everyone at ease so that the best pictures shine through. Also, he does an amazing job of guiding you through the photography process so that the best pictures come out; not to mention he takes great candid pictures! We had a baraat and he captured it so well!....even made me look like a good dancer... I mean when we got the pictures and videos we couldn't believe what they were able to capture! We couldn't have asked for anything more. Friends told me they couldn't get over the pictures and had to stop our video as they were tearing up. Additionally, I did a lot of research before picking him and can tell you I couldn't find much better. You pay a fair price but get far more than you pay for compared to other options I found, not just on the end result but on the professionalism and services Arol provides. If friends ever ask me who to use to capture special moments in their lives I won't hesitate to recommend Arol and his team!

ith everything. His wedding day presence was fantastic, and he was very attentive while being really easygoing. He worked well with the video crew, and to be honest, I was amazed that he managed to keep them out of the photos! The gallery came back to us over the weekend, and we are over the moon. They are so gorgeous! We are eagerly awaiting our album which should be arriving here in the next 3 weeks. Thank you for everything!

ept things low stress and was great about directing us into beautiful shots. I was thrilled when I got my photos back. I haven't had photos that I loved this much since I was 15lbs lighter in high school. There are photographers who have nice cameras and then there are artists who have an eye for what's going to create a truly beautiful image and Arol is in the latter category. I highly recommend.

personal collection of photographs. He is a good combination of professional and personable and is extremely good at herding cats (aka multiple groups of post-cocktail hour buzzed relatives and bridal party) during the posed photos portion. You will NOT regret hiring this man.

attend our own cocktail hour!!! Which to me was a HUGE deal. He was seriously so incredible, I hope there’s a time in our life where we get to work with him again. Seriously such a treat.

work with and was very accommodating when we had to reschedule due to COVID.

d worked so well with everyone in the family. Arol did SUCH a great job of keeping the pace moving throughout the night and kept us on track. Our photographs could not have turned out better, my husband and I are so over the moon excited about them. I didn’t imagine in a million years that we would ever photograph so well! I can not recommend Arol enough, he is the sweetest and most professional photographer. You will be doing yourself a great disservice by hiring anyone besides him.

ow what I am talking about. He has become a brother and a friend now. We were out of words when we got our wedding pictures. He is awesome.

tos shot by Arol so when I was super blown away with those, I knew the wedding photos would be equally as awesome. Let me say that they were not equally as awesome... they were even better! Every detail I wanted Arol to capture was shot and he really took the time to capture so many special moments of my husband and I. It really helped that he had a second photographer with him so no precious moments worth capturing were missed. Another thing I really enjoyed about Arol was his professionalism and his responsiveness. He always got back to me in such a timely manner and it's hard to experience that these days! I already miss everything about the wedding and I hope we will have another reason down the road to work with Arol again. Arol- thank you again!!

e of the day. We could not be more happy with the final results. And to add in his efficiency on site, quick turn around post wedding and all-around positive attitude, it made for a truly rewarding experience. To equate it to sports, it was like he took our shot list and important moments and made a playbook out of them. He came on site with a game plan that he executed flawlessly. Our entire wedding party commented about how efficiently he moved from shot to shot and how friendly, yet direct, he was in adjusting each part of the shot. Even guests came up to us during the reception making comments. If you are looking for photos that are unique, candid and truly capture your day, Arol is your guy.

pture our wedding. One of the most important aspects of this day was the pictures. Arol exceeded my expectations by 1000%. Not only do we have amazing pictures that will last for generations to come, but we also made a friend with memories to last a lifetime of our special day. Even though we are 12 hours apart, we will definitely be using Arol again for family pictures. Huge kudos to AJH Photography!!!!

The groom was anxious about the engagement shots and he made us feel extremely at ease during the session. Then a few days later we received hundreds of gorgeous photos. It was hard to pick our favorites!! His photos are quite beautiful; really they're a piece of art. Because of his previous work and our engagements I completely trusted Arol to capture everything on the big day. Arol got all the shots I asked for and was super chill the entire time. At dinner, our wedding party even told us that he was easy to work with and really efficient. We were so lucky have him shoot our wedding because our photos will last longer than anything else that day, and I will never regret choosing him as our photographer. He's truly amazing!

s well as the delivery of the final photos. Arol provides 5 star service in every area in my opinion. He is reliable, a good communicator, goes with the flow, and we are thrilled with the outcome of our digital and hard copy prints! Myself, my husband, my wedding party, and our families are all very pleased with his photography work. Thank you!

id, I don't know what does! Arol was so easy to work with. He came organized and was ready to knock out all the important shots so my husband and I had as much time as possible to spend dancing and celebrating with our guests. He was also practically a ghost during the ceremony! He got all the shots we could have wanted, but was so out of the way that our ceremony had the intimate feel we wanted, but was somehow captured like we were at a professional photo shoot. He got some very creative shots, including some great ones of my husband, me, and our dog. I would (and have!) recommended Arol to everyone. For one guy, he covered our wedding incredibly well. Everyone was photographed and looking back at our pictures, we can relive the whole day in great detail. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Arol!

bargained for. Arol went out of his way at the wedding to capture everyone and everything. The photos and video are stunning, every emotion and expression have been captured and I am so thankful to him and everyone there that day that made this possible. His photography, passion and commitment to his clients is unwavering, he also has very quick response times whether by call, text or email. He was there for me when the wedding was months away and when it was around the corner, he answered my hundreds of questions and took note of everything I wanted. I"m so thankful I found his page a year ago and decided to go with him because his work is incredible. Look no further, this is the photographer you've been looking for!

that field as well). He made it all seem so seamless. We could not be happier, his work is stunning!

ls great, but Arol is a wonderful person to work with and be apart of your wedding day!

romptness in getting them back to us is above and beyond. Bjorn and I couldn’t recommend you more highly and again thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

d I are not the most photogenic and it is hard to get my other half to smile, but Arol was able to capture us and our relationship in the most natural way - with all of the smiles and REAL laughter because shooting with Arol is fun! Now to the professional side of this review, he is always on time, has a really quick turnaround, and is easy to understand when he describes how he wants a pose. I will end this review with - book him now! Thank you Arol!!

you can tell that he genuinely loves his job and wants to make your big day special. He went above and beyond our exceptions.

l is excellent at what he does, with perfect lighting and background scenes. He is creative in his work, he is an artist. Arol is also easy to work with. He is fun and he returns your calls and emails. I highly recommend this photographer, you will not be disappointed.

nce and makes it so easy, which is a huge deal for someone who overthinks and overcomplicates. I couldn’t be happier with the way the photos turned out! He is a such a talented photographer! Thank you Arol!

talk to him. He made our day so smooth, and he made the process of taking photos comfortable and natural (not awkward), which was very important to me from the start, and it was not only the case on the day but also in the photos. His personality is incredibly congenial and down-to-earth while also being direct, professional, and efficient to capture as many photos as possible throughout the day. I seriously couldn't believe that one person could get as much on camera as he did and as beautifully. He captured every moment big and small, and he captured the emotion, the deepest happiness of friends and family. He's also super creative and a real artist. He will make your day feel so special and specific to what you want. The photos are beyond amazing, and I couldn't recommend Arol more.

of a photographer he is. If you take a look through his portfolio, you will see his breathtaking attention to natural light as well as an uncanny ability to capture the surrounding emotion and personality. His pictures will leave even the best photographers stunned. If his raw talent isn’t enough of a reason to have him capturing your wedding, as a person, Arol’s spirit is contagious. He has such a love for his job and a true passion for the art of photography. He made me and my husband like we were the only two people in the world during our photos. His enthusiasm and excitement for our shots made any wedding stress I had dissipate and I was able to complete be in the moment and genuinely smile. The one sneak preview Arol posted literally took my breath away. His ability to capture how I feel about my (now) husband in a picture is surreal. Having Arol at my wedding meant the world to me and I truly believe any wedding he shots is lucky to have him; it will be the best decision you will ever make if you care about the photography for your wedding.

photos of EVERY aspect of our wedding, whenever you saw him he was on his feet taking photos of guests/the venue/etc. and the results absolutely STUNNING. Hands down worth every penny. Thank you Arol!!! Thanks to you we have GORGEOUS PHOTOS to look at for years to come.

eative, so if you book him for professional photos, I suggest you let him take the lead on your photos! You won't be disappointed.

contacting us before our wedding to answer any pre-wedding questions. We will truly treasure our engagement and wedding photos.

otographers I’d requested from my coordinator. We made the easy decision to book him for our engagement pictures and wedding day right away. Although my husband and I are EXTREMELY camera shy and absolutely dislike taking pictures, it was very important that everything be perfectly captured at our engagement session and wedding. Arol not only made us feel at ease, he selected the most beautiful backdrop (camp Ben) for our engagement pictures. It was exactly what I’d pictured and expressed to him. Our wedding day pictures...I don’t even have the words to accurately describe what an exceptional job Arol did at capturing our wedding day. Even our family, friends, and co-workers were blown away by our pictures! He has a very special eye and technique, that allows him to capture so many emotions and gorgeous images so perfectly. I found myself laughing, crying, and feeling smitten as I went through our pictures. I was finally able to put together the events of our wedding day which had been a total blur up to that point. Arol surpassed our expectations and we were so lucky he was available to capture these special moments. Im not sure we could ever thank him enough for delivering such flawless photography on both of these special occasions!

nable, and the contract was clear and simple to complete via email. Arol was already at the venue when we arrived, and because he is familiar with the people there as well as the policies, he smoothly guided us through the process. Because we are not a young couple and this was not our first wedding, we wanted it to be very intimate (only 3 guests plus my very well-dressed dog) but still very beautiful and meaningful, and having a photographer who understood this allowed us to relax. Arol was very patient with and attentive to my dog, and captured his personality perfectly, including several shots just of him. While his ideas were professional and trendy, he was very open to the particular shots I wanted and very quick to set them up and shoot them. We never once felt like our small wedding was less important to him than the larger events he routinely photographs. We received access to our personal gallery exactly when promised and found it easy to navigate. I was pleasantly surprised to find each photograph in both color and black and white, which is so elegant. We wholeheartedly recommend AJH Photography for Arol's professionalism, incredible photography skills, integrity, and especially his sincere desire to provide customer satisfaction. He was a pleasure to work with, and our wedding pictures are beautiful.

very responsive with any questions or concerns we had both before and after our event. He knows how to work with light and the surroundings to create a depth to his photos that others miss. We fully trusted him to direct what photos would be taken, and we were not disappointed. He didn’t just document our wedding, he captured the emotions of the day and captured stunning images that we have the joy of reliving each time we see them. We couldn’t be happier with the results and give him our utmost recommendation!

get go. So I was super excited when he was able to do our wedding. Very professional and has an easy spirit to work with. He has a passion for what he does and it shows in every picture he takes. God has blessed him with an amazing talent for sure. I HIGHLY recommend him. He took such wonderful pictures that captured memories that we will cherish for a life time.
