We pride in the relationships, and friendships that are built while you are planning your wedding. Which also allows you to be more at ease on camera; which shows in your images! Jennifer is on lead camera, and Aaron is the secondary photographer. We enjoy not only giving you the timeless memories you want to remember, but also with a creative edge to them. Our photography is also paired with professional printing, so we can customize your mailable, wall art, albums, and gift prints. I can't wait to chat about all your needs.

Jennifer and Aaron were amazing! They were easy going, were with us every step of the way, and we just love our pictures. I highly recommend them.

ourselves not to mention they really are pros at computing the moment. We would recommend them to anyone for any occasion. We will be calling them again in the future!
Outstandingly professional, helpful and great work
We absolutely loved our experience with Aaron and Jenn. They helped with all the small details planning the wedding day photography, all the way through designing our wedding album...
, and photos for our wall. You definitely get what you pay for with photographers and this was an experience I won’t forget. You can’t choose a better photographer. They are a dynamic duo when it comes to capturing the moments. We couldn't be more happy with our pictures and the quality of the album we got.
She is a great photographer and very professional. We would hire her again anytime.
Jennifer and Aaron were a phenomenal team to work with. From the beginning to the end when we pick out our artwork, they created photos that will last a lifetime! The photos they ...

Aurora Photography was our biggest asset on our wedding day. They helped us so much leading up to the day, and also stuck around after. I can't believe we found a great friend in a...
wedding vendor and hope to use them for family photography later as well. They were punctual the day of the wedding and had all the plans and helped put out issues that arose day of without us knowing about them. They work well with others (DJ, Caterer, Venue, and Videography). Everyone seemed to really flow together and our guests loved the vibe they brought. We really enjoy their classic true color images they produce after seeing them from the wedding reveal appointment. It was so much fun choosing what we wanted to keep as our artwork for our walls. Jenn helped pose my bride and she looked amazing.
Jenn and Aaron were absolutely the perfect team. They were with us through the pandemic planning process and got to know them very well. They are not just a vendor to us, they beca...
me our friends. Jenn helped us with wedding planning opinions when my family just said everything was perfect and I needed a real opinion. She also touched based throughout the whole planning process to see what help I needed and wrote our full timeline (and changed it) for us when we had hiccups. As a Bride I personally had no idea how long each activity would take on a wedding day. Enter the photographers prospective. Aaron picked the perfect spot for our first look, and they both captured all the memories perfectly for our big day. We purchased canvases and an album to remember our day. When these items came in we were blown away by the quality. I am so glad we went with Aurora Photography for our wedding.
Jennifer did an amazing job with my daughters wedding. From our first call till delivery of the album and images for the wall, the experience was the least stressful part of plann...
ing this wedding. Jennifer helped with the timeline and list of pictures. The images are AMAZING! I would highly recommend!
Jennifer is so easy to talk with and you will feel like you have known each other forever. Highly recommend!
Jen is so professional and attentive! She is so patient and really put me at ease. I would recommend Aurora Photography and Design to anyone needing a photographer!

he pictures they take. When they say full service photographer they mean it. Jennifer has helped us every step of the way with vendor suggestions and design ideas! Thanks Jenn and Aaron can't wait til our wedding day!
Jennifer and her husband Aaron were the photographers at my cousins wedding. Their photos turned out beautiful! Both Jennifer and Aaron were very professional and friendly.
Jennifer is amazing! She has a truly special ability to capture special moments
This company is just amazing. I don’t even want to call it a company because I feel like they are friends and family! My day would not have been the amazing day it was if I did not...
have them as my photographer. They are so kind (but sassy when they need to be) and just all around fun! We were laughing and having a blast taking photos! I give them 10 out of 5 stars because they should have a double reward for being the best!
Jennifer and Aaron were THE PERFECT photographers for us! They were attentive to detail, creative, smart, organized, caring, and were so patient with my "bridezilla" moments! I cou...
ld not have had a better experience on my wedding day and HIGHLY recommend Aurora Photography to both young (and old brides like me)! Hands down. The BEST photographers. Period! Definitely hire Jenn!

Jennifer was very professional, and fun! She made sure to get lots of different angles of my friend’s wedding, and kept the wedding party engaged during the time we took to get pic...
tures! Most weddings I have been in, you start to lose the party’s interest, and that didn’t happen! She was upbeat and exciting to work with! I definitely recommend her, and will probably use her in the future for my own!
Jen and Aaron went above and beyond every step of the way from making the timeline happen and keeping us calm and happy! They are super fun and friendly and AMAZING at what they do...

Jen and her husband Aaron were THE BEST!!! I got the big package which included 10 hours both photographers the engagement session and some other stuff I can't remember everything....
I paid extra for an extra 2 hours which in my opinion was totally worth it. Through the whole planning process Jen was there messaging me to help me keep up with where i needed to be not only with photography but with my whole wedding planning process. She's done several shoots for me including family shots, boudoir, engagement and birthday. She's great with my kids and capturing their different personalities. Can't wait for my maternity shoot.
Holy guacamole! What an amazing duo of photographers! Jennifer & Aaron worked their booties off for my daughter & son-in-law’s wedding this past weekend...all day, all night...capt...
uring every fine detail & beyond. They made sure to capture every single request from the bride & groom. Never lost their patience & never stopped working. I’m not even sure they stopped to eat! (Gosh I hope they did!) They went above & beyond, not only capturing our beloved sunset pictures —but also called my kids out into the field when the moon & planet Jupiter were shining bright & got the most amazing, unique shots! I highly recommend Aurora Photography & Design.
Jennifer is a delight to work with! Her personality is fun and easygoing. She does a great job to make sure you feel like family and included in the community she has built. Her...
and her husband, Aaron, photographed my wedding and took tons of photos. Jennifer does a great job of letting you know what she is needing from you and when in order to deliver exactly what you want. I highly recommend.
Absolutely amazing!!! I literally couldn’t be happier with our experience with Jen and Aaron. They were not only on top of there game but they helped keep everything else running s...
moothly too. They are very experienced and care about their work and more importantly about your big day. We were blessed to find them and have them be a part of our wedding day. Would 100% recommend to somebody in the St. Louis area and I’m already trying to think of other reasons to hire them again.
My husband and I could not be happier with Jen and Aaron—we were a little nervous about the prices but both go above and beyond to create beautiful photos and capture moments you n...
ever imagined. By the end of this process, they’ll feel much more like friends. We’ll be using Aurora for all of our photo needs in the future!
I don’t even know how to describe how awesome Jenn and Aaron are. Our wedding is still 7 months away and they already feel like friends. Our engagement pictures went without a hitc...
h (much to my surprise considering my fiancé HATES pictures) and they looked incredible. Jenn is not just a photographer. She and I chat most days and she’s more than willing to help out with anything I need. She’s incredible. Honestly I can’t say enough good things about her.
I feel that Aurora Photography goes all out and over exceeds the expectations given... a wonderful place and I'd totally recommend them hands down!
When choosing your photographer make sure you give these guys a consideration.

Aurora Photgraphy and Design are efficient and they get everything you want done. Not only that, but even afterward they looked out for us as far as drinks and if we were doing ok throughout our whole wedding. 10/10. 5/5 stars. Two thumbs up. They were amazing and we couldn’t have asked for better photographers! Thank you guys so much!

ing other vendors during wedding planning. She really feels more like a friend than just a photographer. We love her creativity; the shots she takes look great. She's easy to get in contact with and is so prompt with project returns. We'll recommend her to everyone we can!
Jen and Aaron are amazing photographers and so reasonably priced photographers for our engagement session and wedding! They were always available to discuss details, and made sure ...
they knew what we wanted before the big day. The pictures look AMAZING too, I am so happy will have memories of the best day of my life captured so beautifully. The only note of advice for future clients would be to make sure they help pose us a little better. My family is a little awkward and needs a little more help than most to get posed professionally, and there were hardly any pics of my mom, probably due to the craziness of the day. But everything that was captured was awesome! Would definitely recommend! :D
I love, love, love Aurora Photorgraphy and Design. They have don't multiple shoots for me, my favorite being my wedding. They went above and beyond to make our special day that muc...
h better. Very well priced and always professional, couldn't have asked for anything more. If you want good quality pictures at an affordable price plus have fun while doing any photo shoots definitely chose Aurora.
At first I was hesitant about the expense of photos, but after receiving our engagement photos I was no longer worried. Jennifer was able to capture amazing photos of me, my now h...
usband, and our two crazy dogs. When it came to the day of the wedding Jennifer and Aaron kept both me and my husband relaxed and captured every shot we asked for. They were able to capture the nighttime shots I was asking for even though I am not the best at expressing my ideas. My husband and I were very happy when we looked through all of our shots. We had an extemely difficult time narrowing down shots to fit into a photo album and now our walls are covered in engagement and wedding photos. I really love the plans that can be purchased that includes engagement photos, wedding photos, and photos sometime after the wedding. We are very excited for our shoot in a couole of weeks!
There are so many photographers out there but I really doubt any are like these. They were hired on for my brothers wedding and not only did they provide flawlessly with amazing pi...
ctures documenting such an amazing day, they became friends of the family. They enjoyed their time like they weren't even being paid to be there. Many laughs and good times. All around amazing people. If you have any doubt about photographers, just
go with Aurora. You wouldnt regret it a single bit. 11/10 and I'd give 7 stars if I could.
Jenn and Aaron were super professional and fun to be a part of the event they were at. I saw them going above and beyond for the different shots. It was awesome to see a photograp...

Absolutely magnificent. Jennifer is polite and courteous. So professional and does amazing work.

From start to finish, the level of detail Jennifer showed to capture creative and uniq...
ue shots was amazing! Climbing trees, hanging off of trains, and laying down in all sorts of positions... all helped to create photos we could only dream of!
Her skills and professionalism were matched only by her fun personality to be around on our Wedding day. Many of the guests also commented on how fantastic she was both on the wedding day, and when they saw the photos.
Jennifer, we can't thank you enough for capturing our wedding journey from start to finish! We are loving the photos, and it just blows us and our friends away every time we look at them.
The only problem we have encountered is trying to choose our favorites, because there are just so many amazing shots! <3
