2025 Photography Testimonials
“Allen was incredible to work with! He was always quick to respond—even while on vacation—which shows just how dedicated he is. He was professional, easy to work with, and made taking photos feel effortless. He answered every question I had and went above and beyond throughout the entire process. So many of our guests commented on how amazing he was, and I couldn’t agree more. We even had photos to look at the very same night! Allen keeps the day running smoothly, working seamlessly with the DJ and venue to stay on track. He truly knows what he’s doing, and he’ll make sure you look your best every step of the way. If you are looking for a photographer for your special day or any occasion contact AJ's you won't be disappointed!"

"If you're looking for a photographer to capture life's special moments I can't recommend AJ's Photography enough! Laura Schlaepfer was our wedding photographer and she did such a great job shooting the photos and directing everyone. My wife and I highly recommend!"

“I cannot say any more great things about AJ‘s photography! My husband, fiancé at the time, was frustrated with me when I told him the price of the photographer, but let’s face it. Men do not care about that stuff usually and they also don’t realize the value of something so important. Allen did so well with our photos and was there for hours on end making sure that we got exactly what we wanted and needed! Even my husband who was frustrated at first, was impressed and honestly amazed at how fast we got our photos back as well as Allen‘s personality, which fit in so well with us and our friends & family. He soon found that we were jokesters and could open up to his own sense of humor with us. He truly fit right in. I will forever cherish these moments captured by him!"
