We love David Lee Ethridge and his crew from @AVRfilms, including Matt who I recognized working with on SFG Productions back in the day. It was wonderful to see an old face and everyone was on time, very professional, and delightful on our big day. I also greatly appreciate the support and encouragement and hands-on approach David takes throughout the planning process. There were a lot of logistics to work out and David was there talking us through each step leading up to our event. Huge thanks to David and his team!
The owner Paul does the photography. He was professional. He listened to what I wanted and the day of the wedding he took some amazing pictures. His prices are extremely reasonable. Will use him again when my nieces/step-daughter get married.
The photographer was very professional. Caught great shots and never even knew he was there.

I could not say enough about how awesome our photographer John and videographer Tammy were! AS a bride I gave them a lengthy list of the pictures and moments we wanted and they were able to capture all of them and more! They were very personable and took the time to make our day as perfect as can be. I know how stressful the pictures and wedding day can be for the bride and family members involved and they did everything they could to make it stress free where we could enjoy every moment of our special day. I highly recommend every bride and groom to go with this company because they were absolutely awesome. Thank you again for making our special day a memorable one!
AVR Photography did an absolutely fantastic job! Jeff, Penny and Paul were all a pleasure to work with and captured every amazing moment of our wedding. I'd recommend them for any wedding. The price, the work they do, the professionalism and accountability is fantastic.
I can't say enough about Paul & his AVR crew...they are truly amazing! We got married in September and received our photos & video in less than a month! Paul's enthusiasm and energetic personality are infectious. He managed our 19-person wedding party like a pro, making the simplest (and craziest) moments light-hearted and memorable.
We always knew it would be special to have a video to look back on (…on our anniversary, on Valentine’s Day, on a random Tuesday when you get kicked off Hulu by one of your siblings...), but I didn't fully appreciate how meaningful it would be until we watched it. I couldn’t believe how many little details & special moments that we either forgot, or didn’t see! Fortunately, Paul & his team were able to capture every precious minute :) Thank you!!
We used AVR for our photos and video for our wedding 10/14/17. They were amazing!!! They were on time, very professional, and got right to work getting us amazing shots. In what can be a very crazy hectic time trying to get all the shots you want our photographer Paul Tuccelli was amazing at giving us directions and keeping everyone focus, getting all photos done on time. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and the photos are amazing! Our videographer was also amazing and an absolute pleasure to work with. Very kind and so good at his job that most guess didn’t even realize the were being recorded. That to me was pretty awesome! I can’t wait to see the video and I know it will be great. I was literally stress free all day and they were a huge part of that! They are also extremely affordable, which if I had not found them I would not have been able to afford video for my wedding. I will be highly recommending them to everyone i know getting married.
We worked with Jeff and Penny for our wedding photos and they were both outstanding. We had limited day light and they were still able to get plenty of beautiful shots. We also used AVR for videography and a photo booth. We can’t wait for our wedding video to be done and the photo booth was a huge hit! Thank you AVR!

We got married on 8/13/16 and were very unsure if we were going to get video because we were paying for the wedding all on our own and had a smaller budget. All I really wanted was my ceremony taped. However, I could not find anyone to do this for us. We came across AVR photography/videography and Paul gave us a great price for 3 hours of video. I thought that this sounded perfect. About two weeks before the wedding, we had made the decision that we were willing to spend the money to have our entire wedding filmed. Paul told us that it was no problem at all. When the dvd was finally mailed to us, we were very happy with the finished product and the decision to have our entire wedding filmed. The quality was great and well put together. I was nervous that I would not be able to make out my vows on the video because I talk really quiet and we didn’t have mics. However, I was able to hear myself very clearly. There were not a lot of bells and whistles to the video but we were not looking for that. We just wanted a good quality video that captured our wedding and that is exactly what we got! I would definitely recommend Paul and AVF to anyone that wants a nice keepsake of their special day.

So glad we decided to go with AVR for our videography. It was just what we wanted, a video of the entire ceremony, some of the details, and the entrances and dances, along with some of the dance party too. We were able to customize the video with a few songs of our choice. Thanks!
We got married on sept 17. When searching we contacted paul he was super easy to work with and we got everything squared away.
Charlie was our videographer. He was great he blended in with everyone, not once got in the way. Kept in touch with my husband and I thru out the night. Our video took about 4 weeks. It was amazing to watch it and relive the night all over again considering we barely had time to enjoy with a wedding of 300 guest. So many great moments captured on the video, great job and thank you so much.
Matt was such a great videographer for our wedding! I'm so excited to see our video, but based on what I saw at the wedding, I am sure it will be fantastic! This may sound strange, but I almost forgot he was there, because he was always blending into the crowd, which I feel can be hard for a videographer to do! Thanks for making this a seamless process and for your professionalism!
My husband and I were married in the summer of 2015. We had Marion as a Photographer, and overall, he took decent shots of our wedding, but they were pretty basic. We have 800+ photographs that we received on a disc, and of those, we received hundreds of photographs of my bridesmaids and I. There are some nice shots of my husband and I, but not as many as I expected. I was extremely disappointed with the lack of photos of my husband and his groomsmen. Of 800+ photos I received literally 8 photos of my husband and his groomsmen! Of those 8, only one of them is actually usable. I contacted the owner/photo editor Paul to see if he could fix at least one of the other 7 photos by replacing the face of someone blinking in one photo with their face from a different photo. He tried, but he sent me a photo that was worse than the original. I contacted him to fix it, and I still haven't heard back. This was over 3 months ago.
During our initial meeting, I was shown portfolios of weddings that displayed creative group and couple shots. I assumed that these were the types of poses that Marion would use with my group. I was a bit disappointed with the lack of creativity used with my photos. I specifically remember him talking about how he likes to be creative when doing the large bridal party shots. I was disappointed when his direction for these photos consisted of him calling out "change pose, change pose, change pose" repeatedly after each shot he took. That was really all the direction we got for our full bridal party shots. In that moment, there is so much going on, you don't want to have to worry about posing your own wedding party.
I was also disappointed with every photo of my father. He was wearing glasses, and they were extremely crooked. They were pretty much slanted across his face, and I was surprised that Marion did not notice and ask him to fix them. Unfortunately the way they fall across his eye made it impossible to fix with editing.
All communication had to go through the owner, Paul. I understand this when it deals with pricing, however, I wish there was more communication between my actual photographer and I. I was never given the opportunity to really discuss what I was looking for and what I expected or wanted in terms of shots. I assumed the photographs would look like the samples I was shown at our first meeting. I even tried to contact them a few weeks prior to the wedding, and was told THEY would contact me a week in advance as noted in my contract. (My contract actually said 2 weeks, but they had changed it since.) This pretty much prevented me from having any meaningful conversation about what I was looking for, as when he did finally contact me a week before my wedding, I had so many other things on my mind at that point.
I was also a little bit disappointed in the quality of the video I received. The samples I was shown in advance were more of a sneak peak, and not really indicative of what I'd be receiving. I essentially received raw footage pieced together with music playing over it. The quality wasn't great, and the "editing" wasn't anything special.
Overall, if photography/videography or creative/candid shots are important to you, spend more money on it. The saying "You get what you pay for" rings true here. The photos/video weren't "bad", but if I could go back and do it over again, I would spend more money and go with a different company.
Great job and great prices! We did photography (Paul T.) and video (Jim) and are happy with both! Pictures came out beautifully and were posted super fast! Video is good quality... Really great price for what you get! We are happy with this choice.
Paul worked with me so well he got a lot of shots I wanted the quality was great but as the sun was setting I wish flash was used more. Overall great job for the price we paid! Great promotion going on !
When my fiancé and I were looking for photographers for our wedding we were feeling discouraged--until we contsct AVR photgraphy! This company is a great value that is an affordable option for brides while still offering awesome pictures! Marian shot our engagement session and the pictures were amazing. I was hoping for just a couple shots so we could put them around the house and we ended up with about 30 amazing pictures that could all easily be framed and hung on the mantle. I can't say enough good things about this company. Paul is easy to get in contact with and was extremely flexible and went above and beyond our expectations. Great customer service! I would choose to work with them again in a heartbeat!
I got married 10 years ago, AVR did a fantastic job with my photos and video. I had ordered an album with my package but never got around to picking the pictures for it and low and behold 10 years goes by! I contacted Paul at AVR in hopes that he could still do an album for me. He absolutely went above and beyond, found my files, resent all my photos on CDs and let me create my album but an even better album with more pictures. I rc'd it today and wow it's stunning! He always responded right away to my emails and did the album in a timely manner. I highly recommend AVR. most ppl would have just said they can't find the files and been done with it but he took the time to find them and create a gorgeous album for me. You won't be disappointed when choosing AVR!
Paul did a great job capturing our day
AVR Photography provided our photos and video for our wedding in August. They were very reliable, trustworthy, professional, and flexible! It ended up pouring rain on our big day, so we had to think quick about where we could take pictures, and they were great! The pictures came out amazing inside, and out! (The rain ended up stopping and AVR got some great sunset pictures on the golf course for us.) I had my poofs within a week, and was able to create my wedding album online the way I wanted it and then sent it to print. The album came out beautiful and will be a keepsake to treasure forever. Coming from someone whose wedding was DIY, I didn't want to spend a ton of money on photography and videography, and I am so glad I found AVR! Great prices for some amazing quality photos! Would highly recommend.
We hired AVR/Paul for our wedding in July, 2013. I actually knew about this company because he did the pictures and video for my sister's wedding in August 2011. My whole family felt he was a dedicated, professional for their wedding, and the pictures were beautiful. They had a beach wedding and he did a fantastic job capturing the background. He was easy to work with, listened to the bride's requests and took thousands of pictures on her big day. I was very impressed with the package she was able to get for the pictures and video (we both love the way the video came out! Definitely worth it!) Obviously I would not hire someone for my own wedding unless I was satisfied with their previous work. Overall, when the time came for my own wedding, I searched around for a photographer and kept getting dismayed by the high asking prices. I was trying to keep my wedding wonderful, but reasonably priced, and AVR photographer certainly met that standard. Paul showed up to my venue earlier than requested. He was ready to go as soon as we were ready. He took photos while all the girls helped me with final touches, and as the groomsmen got ready. He was very good about listening to my requests (and those of my bridesmaids) for the shots we all wanted. He was flexible with location, timing, group photos, ect. I also hired AVR for video and I LOVE my video too! Great quality.
At the end of it all, we walked away with thousands of pictures to choose from...he had them up on his website within DAYS. I was still on my honeymoon!! The actual cd files came with weeks! He gave us ALL of the originals as well. We had an album as part of our package and we are very happy with that too. He made the process very easy for us. He responded to all my emails/calls immediately each time we tried to contact him as well. Oh and the video came within months too. You really get great quality pictures at a great deal price-wise through this company.
The pictures came out very nicely, I just wished they had pictures of us getting into the limo after we got married or even getting out of the limo when we got to our reception. Also the communication was not great & made me very nervous!
I recently used AVR Photography for me wedding and I'm happy I did. The pictures came out beautiful and the price was great.
Paul at AVR was great. The pictures turned out amazing. He was friendly, fun, and so accommodating. Our videographer was late for the ceremony and Paul offered to get a video camera from his car! He made me feel like a movie star the entire day. He took tons of pictures and I love how they turned out. My only complaint is that he missed some moments I wish were captured. Overall, highly recommend Paul!
Paul did a great job! We absolutely our wedding photos and album!
My husband and I used this photographer as his photo books looked like they were fabulous quality and had wonderful pictures in them. However,our pictures didn't come out so great. Despite repeatedly asking for a different spot for the pictures, he continued to have us outside in the sun so all our pictures have us squinting and sweating rather than smiling. He had us stand in a mulch bed with weeds with a boat on a stand behind us rather than using the beautiful harbor view that was available as we got married on the water. He would constantly look at the screen on his camera and say pictures were good while but when we looked at the proofs, eyes were closed, people weren't looking, or people were giving him weird looks as he was very obtrusive. He's not a photographer who blends in with the crowd and goes un-noticed; he stuck out like a sore thumb.
We got married at a restaurant and had the reception upstairs. The photographer left the reception and took pictures of random people downstairs in the restaurant. People we had never seen before.
We had to take pictures before the actual wedding as we had limited time at the loation because there was another wedding after us. While trying to explain this to the photographer, he kept trying to tell us when he was going to take the pictures rather than listening to us. While it became plainly obvious he doesn't do well with a non-typical time frame, the part that was traditional he missed the important and wanted pictures. He didn't take any pictures of my father kissing me and giving me away. He had very few pictures of our first dance as husband and wife (this was a choreographed dance, not just swaying around the floor so huge opportunities). In the middle of the reception he pulled us aside as he wanted more posed photos which came out looking very awkward. A lot of the pictures he took were off center and from angles that don't capture the essense of the photo.
While he offered a lot of items to be included, he purposely words things so that you believe you are getting something that you are not. We were led to believe we would be getting the copyrights of the photos when we didn't. We were greatly disappointed and in hindsight would have gladly paid twice the amount for a photographer who would have listened and been honest.
I found this vendor at a bridal expo during my planning stages for my spring 2010 wedding. The inital meetings went well and liked everything that I was getting for a great price. The photographer they sent for my wedding day was horrible, the pictures that were taken are not the best. The owner of the company doesn't see my complaints as a problem. Overall it was one big nightmare.
We were very happy with our photographer and videographer, they were pleasant to deal with and the photographer had lots of energy!
Great pictures - and ALL included on a digital negative CD!;He was late and completely missed me getting ready at the house.
