Ashley &amp; Chris's Testimonial
&nbsp;
Breathtaking photos and video that will help us remember all moments of our day!
&nbsp;
Armando is an absolutely amazing photographer which we already knew after our engagement photo shoot that was included in our wedding photo package. However, once we received our wedding photos, we were absolutely blown away! Not only did he take absolutely breathtaking portraits and capture big moments throughout the day, but he caught a lot of sweet little moments of our guests. After sharing the gallery with some of our family and friends, many of them commented &ldquo; I can&rsquo;t believe your photographer caught this moment of my sons, dad, mom, etc&rdquo;. We are completely able to re-live our day with his photos. I don&rsquo;t even understand how he was able to do it, but he also put together an 11 minute highlight video capturing our vows, big moments and many more little moments throughout the day! I was bawling while watching it! Also, really important to us was Armando was extremely responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process and even came to our 30 days out venue walk through to make sure we were on the same page. He stayed on track with the shot list timeline I created and was open to hearing our ideas for photos but also shared his. He works quietly and worked really well with our day of coordinator who I adore but is very assertive, but it didn&rsquo;t phase Armando and they made a great team! Armando is an extremely talented photographer and you&rsquo;d be lucky to book him for your wedding day!

Nestled in the heart of California, the breathtaking Yosemite National Park often serves as a backdrop to countless romantic stories. This time, it was the stunning venue for Cali &amp; Sabarrish&rsquo;s intimate wedding day. As a wedding photographer, I have been fortunate to capture the love stories of many couples. However, the sheer beauty and intimacy of Cali &amp; Sabarrish's elopement in Yosemite was truly unique.
&nbsp;
Yosemite, with its towering sequoias, vast meadows, and dramatic waterfalls, is a paradise for nature-loving couples like Cali &amp; Sabarrish. The couple chose this majestic location to not only celebrate their love but to share an unforgettable experience with their closest family members. Their love for each other, the location, and the family presence added a magical touch to the entire event.

&nbsp;
As the ceremony began, the couple exchanged their vows, their voices echoing through the serene landscape of Yosemite. The family members, though few, filled the space with warmth and love that was as palpable as the couple's joy. Each moment was a testament to their close-knit bond and the significance of this intimate gathering in such a majestic location.
&nbsp;
For me, as a photographer, the best part of the wedding was capturing these intimate moments between Cali, Sabarrish, and their family members against the awe-inspiring backdrop of Yosemite. Each photograph is not just an image, but a narrative - a narrative of love, family, and the sublime beauty of nature.
&nbsp;
The grandeur of Yosemite contrasted with the intimate elopement created an exquisite paradox that made this wedding unique. Capturing the love between Cali &amp; Sabarrish amidst the towering trees and vast landscapes was an experience I will never forget.

As the sun set over Yosemite, it cast a beautiful glow over the newlyweds, marking the end of a memorable day. The smiles on their faces reflected the happiness and fulfillment of the day, a day devoted to celebrating love in its purest form.

AJ photography went above and beyond our expectations for both photography and videography! Armando is a one of a kind photographer who is passionate and dedicated to his art and we couldn’t recommend him more. Not only is he good at what he does, he’s also very kind, and wonderful with communication. I was never left in the dark about any details or time lines. Armando took extra photos of us and our wedding parties that were out of the norm and it was wonderful to find someone willing to go outside of the box when it came to shots. If you tell him something is important, he will make sure it gets done, and is done to perfection. We are so grateful to have such wonderful and beautiful memories of our wedding day for years and years to come

Ashley & Sean

Armando and his team are the best. Always respond quickly and be flexible. It was easy and fun to work with them. We would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a professional photographer.

Olivia & Brian

Armando was an absolute wonderful wedding photographer. From the first time we reached out AJ was super responsive and got us setup with reserving our wedding date. His website made it super easy to sign our contract and submit details about our day. He was early for the wedding and was attentive and flexible during each event of the day.

He perfectly captured each aspect of the wedding exactly how I remember it. He made the simple moments into everlasting memories. Each picture came out beautiful! And the wedding highlight film was more than I could have imagined.

The wedding photographer is one of the most important parts of your big day because they spend the whole day with you and then are the ones in charge of capturing these memorie
