Aya Tiffany Sato

As a photographer myself, I was extra particular in searching for someone to capture our spring wedding. We knew we wanted digital images in a documentary-style images with a light post processing touch. Finding Aya's work placed her at the top of my selection que. Working with her was a pleasure. She was proactive and professional with communication and clear with everything that was included in our quote. Day of, she was on time and got to work right away. She made everyone feel comfortable during group photos and took time to make sure we got the shots we had in mind. She offered just enough direction but none of the images come off as canned or overly posed. She delivered the final within a few days. The online gallery she provided made it easy to share with family and friends and we even ordered custom thank you notes printed with one of her photos through it. We're really happy with the images and everyone who's seen them love the way she beautifully captured the day.

We’re so happy that we hired Aya to photograph our wedding at Brooklyn Grange! We were blown away by how comprehensively she captured the entire day’s events, and how effortlessly she shot both small and large group portraits. She delivered a preview of our wedding photos the very next day, and the entire set just a few days later. Aya was also super responsive to questions and requests before, during, and after the event. We’ve already looked through our wedding photos countless times over the past month and we’ll cherish the memories she captured for us forever.

Throughout the entire process of our engagement shoot with Aya — scheduling, taking photos, and the final images — Aya was very resourceful and captured the energy and emotion we were hoping for perfectly! Aya not only was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions thoroughly, but also provided pointers on poses, suggestions on backdrops, and made us feel super comfortable in front of a camera. This was our first time getting couples photos done, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer or experience! We will definitely be requesting Aya for more shoots in the future :)

I’m beyond thankful that Aya was able to document and photograph our wedding day! We aren’t people who spend much time in front of the camera and Aya made us feel instantly comfortable. She beautifully captured before the wedding and those photos are nothing in comparison to the photos from our ceremony. The lighting in the cathedral where we were married isn’t very forgiving, but her expertise allowed her to absolutely make it work and the photos are absolutely incredible. Aya’s experience documenting people across Dumbo, Brooklyn was evident because she knew exactly where to go, how to position the shot so it looked like we were alone, and despite getting dark, crafted some of the most stunning images from a wedding I’ve seen. The photos she captured at the reception absolutely illustrate the love felt by everyone in attendance and we are so happy to have documentation that the dance floor was never, ever empty. The preview we received of photos was absolutely lovely and the turnaround after the event was extremely quick to receive all photos. I absolutely recommend working with Aya for any photography needs you may have; she’s the best and we’re so lucky to have her images to reflect on for years and years to come.

All of her photos were gorgeous and really showed the happiness and fun of the day! She was really good at capturing the colors of surroundings and the bright blue of my partner's outfit, as well as capturing contrasting skin tones in a variety of lighting. She also took amazing dancing photos, which is super hard to achieve! She also took some film photos and provided them digitally, which all turned out beautiful. The photos were returned super quickly. We would definitely recommend her!

We couldn't be more thrilled with Aya's photography services for our engagement shoot in New York and our wedding in Washington. Aya wasn’t familiar with the locations beforehand, but you wouldn’t believe it with how naturally she scouted the perfect spots. Her communication and flexibility were also outstanding, accommodating a last-minute change of location for our engagement shoot. Aya's efficiency was remarkable, providing us with a preview of our wedding photos the very next morning, and delivering the full set before the end of our honeymoon, which was less than a month later. Opting for the film and polaroid packages was a decision we are so glad we made as well. The final shots were not only beautiful but also deeply personal. It was almost hard to believe the photos could be of our own wedding. We are genuinely grateful to Aya for giving us memories that we will cherish forever.

We are completely blown away by Aya! Our photos are more beautiful than we could have even imagined. Aya was such a pleasure to work with from the very start of the process and we felt very comfortable around her. She responds quickly, was flexible with our changing schedules, and was very quick to share photos. She is great at scouting good photo locations and running an efficient photo session. We couldn’t be happier, and recommend her 1000%!!!

Aya was fantastic. She was super pro and was very easy to work with. I found out after booking that we were allowed to take family photos at the venue before our party started and she was great about about adding an extra hour to our package. Even our guests mentioned they were impressed by how she seemed to just be everywhere all at once taking photos from all the best angles. Definitely would recommend! We had Aya booked until 10PM on a Saturday night and she had some sample/teaser photos emailed to us by the next morning. Such a nice touch.

Aya and her partner were the best photographers we could have asked for! We loved her realistic style — so much nicer than the blow out high contrast photos that seem to be in vogue these days. We also opted to have some photographs shot on film as well. From our engagement photos to day of, we were blown away by Aya’s professionalism and quality of her photographs. We can’t recommend her enough!

We are so happy we chose Aya for our wedding photos! We were worried about taking photos in February as they may not be as beautiful as in the Spring, Summer or Fall. Aya made amazing photos!! She was very professional, friendly, and super helpful when my husband and I had no idea what pose to do anymore. I would recommend Aya to everyone who wants to get beautiful and professional photos!!!!

We absolutely give Aya our highest recommendation. We got married at the Seattle Municipal Courthouse and had a hard time learning about what to expect - fortunately, Aya had done weddings there before, and did much more than her job as photographer in cluing us into how things would work. She was so friendly and helpful on the day of, managing all the various personalities with ease. Plus, the photos are fantastic! We are thrilled to have worked with her. Thank you Aya!

I cannot recommend Aya highly enough. There are a lot of great photographers, but she is an ARTIST. She perfectly captured the feeling of the day through both shots we wanted and lovely candids. We will treasure these photos for a lifetime and they came out better than we hoped! If you are thinking of booking her she is absolutely worth it.

Aya was fabulous and far exceeded our expectations! I absolutely loved the film and polaroid add-ons. Aya is lovely to work with - easy going but also helpful in offering suggestions/ steering us in the right direction when needed. For example, some photos we took per her suggestion (that we hadn't planned) ended up being some of our favorites. We just couldn't be happier with her services or the end product. Cannot recommend her enough! All our family and friends are raving about our photos, and for such a special day we're so happy they turned out so amazing. Thank you Aya!

Aya was amazing! Aya was super easy to communicate with and made us feel comfortable when we were nervous at the beginning. When we ran out of poses she offered us some ideas and that was super helpful! Her photos are stunning and she was able to capture every moment of the day. She is also very professional and great with details. We highly recommend Aya!

We loved working with Aya - she is so kind and laidback and has such a comforting presence. Her photos are gorgeous and really captured what the day felt like and made us feel beautiful and totally ourselves. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

I'm so glad we picked Aya! Aya was so easy to communicate with throughout our wedding planning process. She took our engagement photos in Los Angeles and our wedding photos in Washington. My husband and I are fairly awkward when it comes to posed photos but Aya made us feel comfortable and helped us when we didn't know what to do with our hands. Aya was great at catching candid moments. I'm very impressed with the amount of coverage she got at our wedding as one person. The photos she took are absolutely stunning. My husband and I have two different skin tones and at previous events with professional photographers, his skin tends to get washed out next to mine in photos. With Aya's photographs this didn't happen at all, she made sure to capture both our skin tones perfectly. Aya also braved 98 degree heat for our wedding. Our ceremony ended up being in direct sunlight and you can't tell by the magical photos she took. We thought we would look super sweaty in our photos but all the photos came out looking great. If you want an incredible photographer for your wedding, hire Aya!

Only great things to say about our experience with Aya! Aya is super professional and even-keeled. She was patient and understanding while managing family photos, and captured a wonderful range of candid moments. The photo quality is exceptional. Communication was thorough and timely, and she had the photos back to us quickly. Can't recommend her highly enough!

Aya is AMAZING!! She did a fantastic job on both our engagement and wedding photos. She truly captured our wedding day and the photos bring me right back to such a joyous day. We even got a sneak peak of the photos the night of the wedding! If you're looking for a laid back and talented photographer, Aya is it!

AYA IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! The photos she took are absolutely beautiful, capturing really wonderful moments in the most professional and seamless way! She was really an anchor in the midst of the whole wedding and we are beyond happy with our photos and choice of Aya as our wedding photographer. She even uploaded our photos within days of the wedding! I could not recommend her enough, you will not regret it!!! <3

Aya did an amazing job photographing our elopement in nyc. She made us feel comfortable and captured moments without intruding - making everything flow seamlessly & feel very authentic. And the photos are stunning, we had her take some Polaroids which we also really enjoyed! She is awesome!

Aya was amazing in shooting our surprise proposal. She made us feel comfortable and created some beautiful moments with us. Very grateful to Aya for capturing our special moments together.

Aya did a fantastic job on our daughter’s wedding photos. Start to finish - 5 gold stars!!! She has a very keen eye and is great with details. She skillfully captured every moment, yet we hardly knew she was there taking pictures. I can’t recommend her highly enough! Very professional. We are very happy.

I’m so glad we could have Aya photograph our wedding! It was a great experience. Prompt and professional communication the entire time. In person she’s so friendly but calm, she made everything feel so easy even when we were nervous. Aya makes an effort to understand what you look forward to seeing in your photos— we said we love candids and WOW she delivered. She captured memories and made them look beautiful. I recommend Aya 100%

Aya photographed my wedding reception, and did the most phenomenal job! She went above and beyond by a lot. She captured many beautiful photos, and really understood what I wanted out of the photography. She had so much flexibility in the packages she offered, and, finally, she got us our photos within a week!!! I cannot recommend Aya strongly enough

Aya flew out to Ohio for our wedding in March. Aya was tremendously generous with her time and our requests (even the last minute ones). Her calm and direct approach was greatly appreciated throughout the entire wedding, from ceremony to the end of the night. Ohio in March is not the easiest place to shoot outdoors, and she proved to be more than up for the challenge. Our pictures turned out wonderfully and were delivered to us quickly after the wedding. Aya's keen eye and attention to detail truly made our day look as fantastic as it felt. We highly reccommend Aya!

Aya photographed our wedding in August and we are so happy with the photos! Aya was super easy to work with and she has a nice calm and grounding demeanor, which is helpful for the day of when it can get hectic. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding or event photographer.

Aya photographed our engagement shoot and November wedding and we couldn't be more grateful for her talent and discerning eye. She not only captured our beautiful day but made us feel comfortable the entire time and captured all of the candid memories we hoped for. The day goes by so quickly and having Aya in our corner to ensure we'll remember the day when we look back on photos is priceless!

Aya photographed our September wedding and we couldn't be happier with her beautiful work! I knew I wanted a documentary-style photographer, someone who would capture the moments and tell the story of my day, so I could look over the pictures and remember each moment, and that is exactly what Aya delivered. I was a little nervous because due to the pandemic, we'd never met Aya before and neither fiancé nor I are the kind of people who take tons of photos - but she put us immediately at ease and we felt encouraged to just be our normal selves and somehow she made that look phenomenal. Also as a bonus, we were expecting to wait 6-8 weeks for our photos, but we had them when we returned from our honeymoon! After a whole year of covid postponement, she stuck with us and honored her commitment and we're so glad she did!

My wife, Sarah, and I are incredibly grateful to Aya for photographing our micro wedding a week ago. She was friendly, professional, and delivered the beautiful digital photos within 2 days! We're excited to see the film photos when they're developed. She went well above and beyond in that she even made an unscheduled and far trip to our home so that we could get a portrait in our formal attire with our two beloved cats. This was well after her coverage of the ceremony and a photo shoot that followed. I think that detail alone shows that Aya is there for You and your loved ones on the most important occasion of your life. It meant so much to us since we didn't even think it was possible to get that shot. Aya made it possible. Thank you Aya!

Aya was incredibly professional and kind. She communicated thoroughly throughout the whole process. We love her photography style and the photos turned out incredible. Highly recommend her!

I've been recommending Aya to anyone I know who needs a photographer. We had her for both our tiny COVID wedding in 2020, as well as our larger wedding celebration with our guests last month. Her photos are beyond gorgeous, she's kind and very accommodating with any extenuating circumstances, and she helps to make even awkward introverts like us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We fell in love with the candids and more natural photos in her portfolio, and that's exactly what we got in our photos from her. For our small COVID wedding, our package included film photos and Polaroids, both of which were beautiful. The Polaroids are something we'll treasure for many years to come. In addition, she got the photos back to us very quickly. I have only the best to say about Aya, and would hugely recommend her to anyone!

I highly recommend Aya! She shot both our engagement and wedding photos and we're really happy with how both albums turned out. Getting professional photos taken can feel a bit unnatural -- it's not something you do every day. We relied on Aya's eye to get a variety of natural scenes and poses. I love her aesthetic and editing style. The photos look amazing and refined without looking overly filtered. Aya is very reliable, easy to communicate with and delivers a very polished final product. I would go to her first for any future photography needs.

Absolutely. Fabulous. We were able to have the perfect photo shoot during our outdoor wedding ceremony thanks you Aya. There was nothing that could've been more perfect with the planning communication leading up to the photo sessions (with tailored preferences and helpful tips along the way), with the in-person dynamics (so warm, kind, punctual, friendly as if we've known for long time), with the quality of shots (gameplan of shooting spots, knowledge of lighting/timing, capturing natural poses, instinctive shots and angles, perfect focus), and lastly, with the post-event experience (way over-delivered in terms of quality, timing, and the simply perfect photographs). I can go on and on about how great she was. Honestly, as the (truthful) groom, I may have had my skepticisms about hiring a photographer for our simple outdoor ceremony- I thought iphones these days could get the job done-- oh wow, was I wrong. Aya blew me away with her photos. But I am confident in saying not every professional photographer can be like Aya. She's on a different level, and so smooth and kind while being there. If you are just beginning your search for the perfect photo documenter, or are later in your search and considering between few options, here's one loud voice saying if you go with Aya, you will soon finding yourself with this much joy of getting your photos (and spending extra time drafting this 5-star review for her). So-- if you are in the search, go back thru Aya's samples (more on her website), and realize she's probably going to blow you away too. I rarely leave reviews, but I've never been so excited to give Aya my highest 5-star.

We had an amazing experience with Aya! We met her for coffee and knew immediately from her calm demeanor and professional nature that she would be the perfect photographer for us. Aya asked detailed questions about our wedding-day plans, took note of photos we cared the most about (and things we didn't really value as much), and answered all of our questions thoroughly. We hired her for our engagement shoot; she made two camera-shy people feel at-ease and took beautiful photos. When Covid hit she was super supportive and flexible with us, allowing us to change the date of our contract to "TBD" for a while, and then arranging her schedule to join our last-minute backyard Zoom wedding. She captured beautiful photos of the two of us on our wedding day, found details in our yard to make them special (even our tomato plants!), and made thoughtful suggestions when we needed them. Our friends all commented on what a wonderful job she did making them feel comfortable and helping things to go smoothly. We'll definitely hire her again for future events and photo shoots.

After reading some of the reviews on The Knot and perusing Aya's website, I loved her photos stylistically and also how she was able to capture very sweet, candid moments. I reached out to her and her correspondence was timely and professional. She is extremely easy to work with and she answered all of our questions. We definitely felt like she gave us good direction and that she has been doing this for a long time. Our photos arrived within the timeline she gave us and we love them so much. She definitely captured our wedding day as we remembered it. Finding the right photographer is such an important part of getting married, no matter the size of the wedding, and we made the best decision with Aya.

I first met Aya back in August 2016 when she was the photographer for my sister's wedding. I was impressed with how easy-going and professional she was working with all of us! When the pictures came back, I was blown away by her work. Her attention to detail with all her pictures really captured the tone of the wedding. After I got engaged last year and started looking for photographers, Aya was instantly one of my top choices. Throughout the wedding planning process, she was easy to get in touch with. During our meeting a month out from the wedding, getting the day-of photography timeline was seamless. What helped was that during booking, she had us fill out a questionnaire asking us what shots were the most important to us. It all came together during that meeting and we knew that it was going to be a great day thanks to her. The day of the wedding, Aya was flexible and kept us on schedule. Her and her second shooter were in the background, capturing every moment. Towards the end of her time, she let us know that if we wanted the sunset photos, that would put us outside of the 8 hours that we had booked her for, but that it was doable and that we could adjust the remaining balance. That was absolutely worth it because not only did we get the sunset photos, but we also got last minute shots with family. If you're looking for a photographer for ANY occasion, I highly recommend Aya.

Aya was the perfect photographer for our outdoor wedding ceremony. She was easy-going and very patient while trying to wrangle our large families. Our photos were beautiful with a good variety of shots - we will have a hard time deciding which ones to frame and hang in our house! I would absolutely recommend Aya as a wedding photographer.

My husband and I could not be more thankful for Aya. We absolutely loved all of our pictures. Not only did she capture all of the moments we were hoping for, her pictures conveyed more than just a wedding. We can truly feel the moments when we look back at them. She was professional and prompt. We were also very impressed with how efficient Aya was during our 30 minute engagement mini shoot. She truly was a blessing to our wedding experience and we are so thankful to have the knot. We wouldn't have found our perfect photographer without it.

Aya was wonderful to work with, and the photos that she took of our wedding captured the day beautifully. She has this remarkable ability to make her subjects feel at ease, and she has a really brilliant artistic eye. The photos never felt staged, and her directions were clear and simple. We really couldn't have been happier with the whole experience of working with her and with the end results!

My wife and I have been a fan of Aya's photography on social media for a couple of years before our wedding. We both agreed it would be awesome to have her shoot our wedding but were worried about the logistics being that we live on opposite sides of the country. When we reached out she assured us this wouldn't be a problem and she personally handled all the arrangements for the trip out to New Jersey. Once the wedding came it seemed she was every where at the same time, not missing a single moment of our big day. Being fans of her previous work we had high expectations and when we got the photos back, we were still blown away by what she captured. The photos were simply amazing and we are very Aya was able to be there on our big day!

Aya was responsive and professional throughout the booking process. Our wedding was cozy and intimate and she captured that beautifully in the photos with a calm demeanor and friendly attitude. We’re very happy we chose Aya to help us storytell our special day, thank you so much for capturing such great moments.

Aya is amazing. We couldn't possibly have imagined a better experience working with a photographer. First off, she's incredibly talented and skilled as a photographer -- we love our photos and they perfectly capture what it was like to be there. But she was also an absolute pleasure to work with. Always punctual and a great communicator, asks the right questions, gives great advice when prompted, and just generally a wonderful person to work with. We have a large, easily distracted family, and she managed to keep things moving and work through the shot list with all the skill of a pediatrician giving a child their vaccinations without them even noticing (maybe that's a strange analogy but she was seriously a wizard at this). We shared the photos with friends and family and our inbox has been blowing up nonstop with compliments. Aya is simply the best and we could not possibly recommend her more!

Aya did an amazing job as our wedding photographer. Communication before the event was excellent. The day of the wedding she was absolutely everywhere getting pictures of everyone, and they all turned out so incredible! We highly recommend Aya!

Aya has been phenomenal from day one. Very responsive to messages, flexible, professional, and a very talented photographer. What we loved most is that our photos don't look like the standard, posed photos. Would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat.

We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have Aya as our wedding photographer! We had Aya as our photographer for our engagement photos, wedding ceremony and reception, as well as at a post-wedding celebration we had shortly after the official day. She did a beautiful job on both the film and digital photos. All the images from all three events turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Aya was incredibly personable and friendly, and kept the entire experience relaxed for us, and our friends and family. After discussing briefly what we wanted Aya presented us with several solid options. She seemed to have a clear picture of what we wanted even when we weren't sure, which is apparent in how wonderful the photos turned out. On a day that can be very stressful Aya was so calm and friendly, and gave clear direction. She seamlessly made herself a part of our ceremony and reception, and was able to capture genuine images of us and our guest. We are not the couple to constantly be taking photos, so we were nervous to embark on a day that is full of posing and picture taking. However, Aya made it extremely easy for us and made us feel comfortable at all times. She got the photos back to us in a timely manner and we were able to share them with our guest through the website that she set up for us. Overall, it had a great experience and would highly recommend Aya!

We had a terrific experience with Aya. She met with us several months ahead of time to get a sense of what we were looking for. She listened, took detailed notes, and was easy to stay in touch with before the big day. We were super impressed with how hard she worked on the wedding day, moving around a crowded venue for a solid 8 hours to capture beautiful moments from different angles. The pictures are lovely. From the album alone you'd think she was working with an assistant and some lighting equipment, but it was all her. We can't recommend Aya highly enough. The quality of the work on her website and the testimonial of a friend were more than enough to win us over, and we're so grateful that we chose her. Her friendliness and professionalism on the wedding day and in follow-up make her just perfect.

Aya is a true professional. From her shots you can tell she has an intimate understanding of light and knows how to capture a moment. She got so many wonderful candid shots that blew us away. She's easy going, likable, on time, and does her job quietly and skillfully. Aya was a dream to work with, and then delivered the final digitals within two weeks! She also snapped some Polaroids that ended up being some of our favorites. She was awesome.

Aya was absolutely AMAZING in every sense of the word. Her organization and calm demeanor put everyone at ease right away. Her photos are AMAZING!!! I can't stress that enough!!! It was especially nice to have so many candid shots- most everyone is so much more photogenic when they don't know their photo is being taken. I would recommend Aya to anyone and everyone. Love love love!

We really can't say enough about how awesome Aya was at our wedding. Having a wedding ceremony was never very important to us, but to get all our family and friends together in one place made it perfect, and now we have photos that capture all the joy, happiness, and fun of that day. Both my husband and I are awkward photo subjects, but Aya made us feel so at ease and that comfort resulted in the best photos we have ever taken together. The candid moments she captured are some of my favorites. Looking back on the photos I have no idea how she managed to be in all the right places at all the right times. With all the craziness that can go into a wedding, choosing Aya as our photographer was easily one of the simplest and best decisions we made.

Aya was amazing at our wedding! She was calm and welcoming, which definitely helped with family photos, and she caught some beautiful, candid moments that brought the whole day back to us. She turned beautiful photos around quickly and we love so many of them! I would definitely recommend having ideas about what you want, because Aya is very hands-off, which is also what's so great about her! She captures real moments, seamlessly. I'm so happy we went with Aya and I can't wait to get back the polaroids she took! :)

Aya is an amazing photographer and I highly recommend her work. Her candid and documentary-style photos are exactly what my husband and I were looking for. She captures emotion, and the human element of an event so well. Aya took photos for our engagement as well as our wedding day. After getting our engagement photos back, I realized that I wanted more posed portraits. Aya was very receptive to my request, so we ended up with some killer portraits on our wedding day. So happy about that. Leading up to the wedding, Aya was a pleasure to work with. She is prompt to meetings, responsible, and knowledgable. She made sure that she understood the details of our timeline. This really put me at ease.

I can't say enough good things about Aya's professionalism and quality of work! I knew from reviewing her portfolio that Aya's photography is beautiful. What I didn't expect was how totally amazing she would make my husband and I look in our wedding photos! She really captured the spirit of our friends, our families, and our wedding day. When we started working together I felt more than a little oblivious to the ins and outs of wedding photography, and Aya went out of her way to make us feel comfortable, ask questions about our aesthetic, and provide any info we asked for. Thanks to Aya's direction and coordinating, our photography was the one thing I didn't worry about during the planning process. Like we'd heard, our wedding day zoomed by in a total blur. Getting our photos and seeing not only our favorite parts of the day, but also a ton of small, beautiful moments that happened around us was so amazing. Thank you Aya!

Aya was absolutely wonderful! She photographed both portions of our wedding. A ceremony downtown Seattle and a reception a couple of months later on Whidbey Island. I do not like a lot of posed pictures. She really understood this and was great at moving through the crowd and at capturing more of the candid moments I love. She fit seamlessly into our vision and delivered in every way we wanted. I also really appreciated her technical skills and keen eye, which captured some truly special moments. She actually made both of our events prettier in picture than they were in real-life. Aya is so easy to work with. I thought her contract was straight-forward and fair. At both of the events she had a calming, relaxed presence that put everyone at ease. I got a lot of compliments directed toward her from my guests who recognized her easy and comfortable approach. Our photos are amazing and it is so hard to choose my favorites. I would highly recommend her as a photographer!

Aya is an incredible photographer! We were so happy with our photos and she captured everything perfectly. She was very non-obtrusive and we barely even knew she was there (in a good way). She is very professional and did a good job dealing with our big family when it came time for those photos. All I can say is that there is simply no way you could ever regret having Aya as your photographer!

Aya is an incredible photographer and I will continue to ask her to photograph any and every important event in the future. She is professional, she knows how to work with all different venues, settings, weather, lighting, etc. She was hidden and sneaky all through out our wedding ceremony and yet somehow she was in the perfect position to capture all of the candid moments that mean so much to us. She worked really well with our wedding party, our families, and our guests. She truly captured the whole wedding day and as I look through all of our photos I don't feel that anything is missing! Her style is very natural and genuine, and I feel like her photos portray my husband and I perfectly. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Aya for your wedding!

Aya is an artist! With little input from my husband and I, Aya was able to see our vision and bring it to life within our photos! She flew under the radar taking beautiful candid shots while also available to manage our unruly families into great group photos. It was truly a pleasure to have her at our intimate wedding, she felt like part of the family!

Aya did an amazing job capturing the wedding. My husband and I are more casual, our wedding was a blast, and the photos reflect our true selves. She didn't force us into any crazy poses or use any weird filters-the photos look natural (but adjusted and all to be beautiful AND natural) and she captured the moments I wanted to see and ones I wasn't able to since us brides are always running around! She is professional, friendly, and VERY talented-I couldn't recommend her enough!

Aya did an absolutely fantastic job for my wife and I. She was professional in all areas while maintaining a relaxed persona that helped all aspects of our wedding photography. Aya was prompt in communication, on time (early, actually), graceful when we weren't on time. She edited the photo in a timely manner, which is great when you just got married and can't wait to see the photos. Aya did what is most important: she captured us for who we really are. We were thrilled with out photos and constantly look back at them to remember our wedding. One of her best perks that you can just find anywhere is that she's even better with her film and Polaroid cameras than digital! I would recommend Aya to any friend.

Aya did an amazing job of capturing our wedding day. She has a wonderful eye for composition and a beautiful aesthetic. We loved working with her and would absolutely recommend her.
