My wife and I got married in Charleston in October 2025, but had a two year period of planning our wedding due to the increased venue demand coming out of COVID. During the initial stages of our planning, we struggled to find a photographer who matched our energy and made us feel comfortable with being in the spotlight (my wife and I are naturally camera shy). Then came Aaron and Jillian. Since our first call, we could tell they had a certain chemistry that went beyond the camera (no pun intended) and they took the time to understand both of our individual personalities along with our combined vision for the wedding. As a husband-wife team, they bring sort of dynamic duality to their service which allows both the groom and bride to feel at ease while being photographed. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with them, and they made the process so enjoyable for both me and my wife. They have a flexible, yet innovative style of getting you to shine through the lens and all of our pictures turned out incredible. I couldn't imagine using anyone else for engagement/wedding photos and will be strongly recommending them to all my family and friends in the future!

Where do I even begin - Aaron and Jillian are a DREAM to work with. I called Jillian more than a year in advance of my wedding to try and book them because their work speaks for itself. We had our wedding 3 weeks ago and my husband and I are reliving it through the beautiful photos - my favorite moment with them was after Dan and I had our first look and they said "hop in the car we're taking you somewhere epic for pics" - and they took us to a secret spot down the road with beautiful Spanish moss trees and they were truly our favorite pics of the day. If you are lucky enough to book Aaron and Jillian they will take the best care of you AND your families. They bring positive and uplifting energy which is so important to start out with on your big day, and they time everything PERFECTLY - nothing gets missed on the shotlist. As a producer I hire photographers for jobs all the time, and it's so rare to find photographers who are excellent at photography and retouching and they are absolutely that. I couldn't recommend this duo enough, and I can't wait to find an excuse to book them again in the future.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Aaron and Jillian!!! From the moment we met them, they made us feel comfortable and confident that our big day would be captured beautifully. Not only are they incredibly talented photographers, but they also went above and beyond by stepping into the role of being a day-of wedding planner at times, ensuring that everything stayed on track and on time. And the photos are a WOW! I have yet to see one that we do not love! They captured every single moment we asked for and so much more. It was clear that they truly cared about telling our story through their lens, and their attention to detail was beyond impressive. What really stood out to me, though, was their calming presence. With all the stress of the day, they were a steadying force, always making sure all the little details were in place, that we were having a good time, and that we were exactly where we needed to be at the right time. One special moment I’ll never forget is when Jillian even stepped in to pin my veil moments before walking down the aisle (which was extremely windy but my veil stayed put!) The way they worked together was incredible (huge perk of hiring a husband/wife team!), and they also blended effortlessly with our videographers and content creator, making sure everything flowed smoothly. Aaron and Jillian are a dynamic duo who not only capture beautiful photos but also contribute to the overall success of your day. We couldn’t have asked for better photographers, and we are so incredibly grateful to have had them as part of our wedding! They are worth every penny (and more!) so if you're on the fence, feel confident that you're making the right decision by hiring this incredible team. Thank y'all (X 1,000,000)!!!

Hiring Aaron and Jillian as your photographers is the best decision you can make for your wedding day!! I had first met them when I was a bridesmaid at a friends wedding, and after meeting them and seeing the photos from that wedding, I absolutely knew I had to have them for mine (to the point where I made sure that they were available before I confirmed our date with our venue or anything else!!). That is how amazing they are to work with and how stunning their photos are! And that was absolutely the right decision!! Every single photo we have is absolutely stunning and flawless and we are so in love with all of them. They captured our day truly perfectly and we could not have asked for anything more. We were able to relive the day through the photos because they captured every little moment. Every single person we have shared the album with has said how amazing our photographers were and how gorgeous all of the photos are (like saying they should be in Vogue!). I really have no idea how we are going to pick ones to frame and put in our album because we love them all so much and they are all so beautiful. Aaron and Jillian are also just the nicest people you will ever meet. They make you feel so at ease and comfortable and are the best hype squad! We were so lucky to have had them both with us on our special day. I cannot recommend them enough!!!

I cannot begin to express how happy my fiancé and I are that we have Aaron & Jillian as our wedding photographers. When we got engaged and began planning our wedding, we knew we wanted Aaron & Jillian who we met when they photographed my sister's wedding. We recently got back our engagement photos and could not be happier! Aaron & Jillian made the experience SO much fun- it was more of a mini reunion and catching up that you forgot you were actually there to get pictures taken! It felt so natural, in a setting which many may feel a bit unnatural with anyone else, as we took photos during our session. Every single photo we received from our engagement photo session was better than the next-making it near impossible for us to pick our favorites. We are counting down the days until our wedding weekend when we get to see Aaron & Jillian again and to see how amazing our wedding photos will turn out. I cannot recommend them more!
