We were excited to receive our photos following the wedding in fall 2021, but were incredibly…read moredisappointed with the results. We received less than 400 photographs, many of random spots around the venue - with no people - that did not relate to us. The photographer did not get to know us, nor scout the location prior to the ceremony. My partner asked to meet them the day prior via email (we have documentation), but no response was given. There were no fun poses suggested, no artistic poses, and we were provided with pushy but little direction. Many photos were out of focus or oddly positioned. Photos were promised 2-4 weeks following the event, and arrived more than 4 weeks later... although they did find the time to post a few of our photos on their social pages within 1.5 weeks of our wedding. When we did receive the photos, we realized that we received better photos from the ones our friends captured on their phones. All of this was sent, in detail with photos examples they provided to us, to the company to resolve offline. I mentioned being under the weather during the event and relying on them for more direction. In the response, I was made to feel that my illness related to the lack of photos - I was personally hurt to be blamed as a bride. There was little remorse, no acknowledgement, little explanation, and they only offered us a photo couple session (less than 20% the price of the wedding package). This was of no use to us as our wedding was a destination wedding, a photo session would lack the energy and people at the wedding, and we have no desire to work with this company again. I've chosen to show a few of many examples detailing what I described.

Ran and Linda provided the photography and DJ services for our wedding last month. They were so…read morewonderful to work with before and during the event. Ran was so kind and helpful, no matter how crazy my request. He made time to talk to us a number of times before the wedding. Linda was so nice and down to earth as she captured our event- I really enjoyed working with her. We had a somewhat non-traditional event and they adjusted their services to our plans, which not everyone we talked to was willing to do. Ran successfully threw the best dance party at a dry wedding, which is impressive! Haven't seen the pictures yet but I am sure they will be treasured for years...more to come :)

But that was the beauty of Aaron's work. He not only got our son to smile, but he took pictures that captured our son's curiosity and spirit. To be able to work with home like that and capture the mood was beyond perfect. We had a great time roaming a peach orchard and chomping down on strawberries with a beautiful mountain back drop. After our amazing session Aaron had us back to his home/studio to share the photographs. It was so touching viewing it a comfortable setting as he does. I would (and have!) recommend AW photography to anyone looking for family/children photography in a heart beat.

Getting married into a family with a more traditional background made me nervous. How was I going to have a ceremony that appealed to them but also didn't seem blasphemous and fake to me? The answer: Rev. Claire Goodman. Rev. Claire conducts a lot of weddings in the Charlottesville area, and her experience shows. She's incredibly organized, but also specifically deals with interfaith marriages and the challenges that can arise there. She really made me feel more comfortable discussing ceremony basics, what my husband and I as a couple did / did not want, and was genuinely interesting in getting to know us better so she could tailor the ceremony appropriately. She made us fill out a super long questionnaire that, at the time seemed like overkill, but in retrospect was worth it. It definitely asked some hard questions which probably should be asked anyway when people are planning on getting married. But, that's a topic for another day. Rev. Claire usually likes to meet at Cville Coffee and she was prompt responding to text, email and phone calls. Half way through the planning process I moved from Charlottesville so these digital forms of communication were more important to me. On the day of the wedding Rev. Claire was on time, conducted a beautiful ceremony, and even stuck around a bit afterward to mingle with the guests and get a picture taken with us. I highly recommend her as an officient.

It was Oct 27, 2014, and thank you for the excellent service, and being a big part of a very special day for us. I would recommend Rev.

He captured the emotion while capturing the ambiance. After leaving Sean and deciding on what pictures we liked, on the way home, I actually cried.

Jim Carpenter is the photographer there, and he is so very nice and professional. I was a little worried that because both my brother and I are students (my brother is in undergrad, I'm a first-year medical student) we wouldn't be taken seriously, but he was friendly and helpful, and my family was pleased with the photos. I got the impression that he certainly knows what he's doing right off the bat. Jim also informed us that he "loves his medical students" and is hired every year for their graduation pictures as well as doing most of the professional head-shots for medical students as they're applying for residencies. I'm certainly looking forward to sitting in for my own portrait session when the time comes!
