Aaron Courter Photography

Aaron was an incredible photographer. Both his end result - our wedding pictures - and his approach the day of the wedding were perfect.

He was sure to photograph all the details we cared about, and captured the mood and fun of our wedding perfectly. He was very non-intrusive, but still made sure we got the photos we wanted. For example, he kept the family photos moving quickly, but let folks have fun and fool around a bit too. His attitude was fantastic, and he was very easy to work with.

Aaron also helped us before the wedding by suggesting the types of photos he could take, and he gave us great ideas.

The end product he gave us was incredible. The photos feel very natural, and not staged, which was exactly what we asked him to do. The only downside of having Aaron as your photographer is that you'll have too many good photos, and you wont' be able to decide which to print!!! More...

Aaron is AMAZING!!!!!My husband and I met with several different photographers and only after a few minutes into our meeting with Aaron we knew he was the perfect fit. First off, his pictures are gorgeous, artistic, unique and beautiful. He is so flexible and easy to work with. We were having part of our wedding outdoors and he was kind enough to go to the location beforehand to scope out some options for photos if it were to rain. He was really easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. He respected that my husband and I were really laid back about taking photos and didn't want to have many "posed" photos and he worked with that. My friends and family all loved him the day of the wedding saying such positive things. He had our photos to us only about 3 short weeks after our wedding which was so quick. The photos turned out fantastic and he really captured every aspect of our day. We couldn't have selected a better photographer. I highly recommend working with Aaron, he will be flexible to your wants and needs, be very easy to communicate with and most importantly produce amazingly beautiful pictures. I can't wait to use him again for future projects. More...

I love love LOVE Aaron!  he's reliable, makes great suggestions without being overbearing, flexible, and he's just so darn down to earth and great with kids.  He's done 4 different photo shoots for our family over the past 2years and they have all been great (the first one was actually with his wife, who's also a photographer).  He's not afraid to get in the grass or dirt for a good shot....our kiddo decided it would be fun to jump in a fountain at a park during our most recent photo shoot. without missing a beat, Aaron jumped right in...shoes and all and got some amazing shots.  The other thing I love about Aaron is he gives you the pictures on a CD and all copyrights so you're not stuck going back to him or a third party for your pictures.  you can print as many, as often, as big or small as you want, on your own time.  His typical turn around is 2weeks during busy summer season.  I can't express how happy we are with Aaron.  I would give him 10 stars if I could!

Aaron is an all around amazing photographer! He is professional, reliable, fun and easy to work with, has a calm and comforting presence, goes with the flow, is flexible, takes incredible photographs and then gets them to you in a timely manner. We were so lucky to have him at our wedding and couldn't be happier with our photos! More...

When looking for a photographer for our engagement and wedding photos, I asked a friend who had gorgeous wedding photos and she sent me Aaron's info. We met him at a coffee shop and loved his fun personality and style of photography. Our engagement photos turned out beautifully and I couldn't be more happy with our wedding photos. Aaron has a knack for capturing the little moments and the emotion of the day, which is why we were drawn to him to begin with. The way he uses light is phenomenal. Also, our photos don't look "over edited" in the least, as wedding photos sometimes can. To be honest, I was hesitant to have only one photographer at first, but I am still amazed at the shots he got when we had no idea he was around! He captured everything we could have wanted. From start to finish, a great experience and beautiful photos. I recommend him highly! More...

Both my husband and I are photographers ourselves, so we were a bit picky about choosing our wedding photographer. On top of that, we both adore and and shoot film - which means we were searching for a certain "look" in terms of photography. I'd been following Aaron's work for years, and knew immediately that he was the photographer for us - his digital "feels" like film to me... and he even brought along film cameras to make extra photos for us! He is absolutely fantastic at "finding the light" and each photo session with him felt natural and low-key - like hanging out with a friend. In addition, he single-handedly managed to cover our wedding - from early morning to late evening, and we had somewhere around 150 guests! The guy is amazing. We highly recommend him! More...

Aaron is an absolutely fantastic photographer. The best, really. As other reviewers have mentioned, Aaron is superbly talented, yet humble, fun! , funny, thoughtful, gracious, professional, a workhorse...in short, a photographer you should hire. In the eight months since our wedding, we have had so much fun reliving the day through Aaron's pictures. He captures moments and tells your personal story beautifully. Numerous friends and family have said that our wedding pictures are the best they've ever laid eyes on. A journey through his website will speak for itselfl. Hire him. We are so grateful we did.

Aaron was absolutely amazing! Throughout the entire planning process, Aaron was very responsive and really understood what we were looking for. The day of, he was laid-back, fun, and very calming. Aaron remained behind the scenes, to the point where we even forgot we were being photographed!

My husband and I are NOT photogenic, so we were a little worried our wedding photos were going to be a bust. But after receiving the photos, it was very clear that Aaron has a passion for what he does. Not only were the photos beautiful, but they managed to capture the very essence of our wedding. To this day (7 months later), we still have people commenting on how beautiful our wedding photos are. He even got our photos featured on the knot!

Seriously, eliminate one of the many wedding stresses, and book Aaron now! You won't regret it! More...

Looking at Aaron's website it's easy to see how great his work is. But I am so much more impressed now that I have seen the pictures he took of our wedding day. Of me and my husband saying our vows, of our family and friends, of all the details that we put together. The pictures we have of our day couldn't have been better or more beautiful. He captured the special moments and made us look amazing! He would be modest and say we looked amazing and he just captured it, but seriously, he made us look like awesome versions of ourselves. Planning our wedding was stressful because we don't have a lot of money. We needed to stick to our budget, but everyone we talked to confirmed that photography is not the place to do that. I've muttered to myself and anyone who will listen many times, I am so glad that we were able to book Aaron and that we didn't try to cut corners with photography. Aaron's prices are great, and an even better value considering the amazing work he does. Lastly and a seriously important part I didn't understand before getting married, Aaron is really fun to be around. He was invisible most of the time, like a ninja wearing a cute outfit. He had suggestions to give, but never overbearing. The experience was not like the past weddings I've been in, with the photographer sticking out and saying awkward things to get through the bridal party and family posed shots. More...

Um... Aaron is amazing. Book him now. From start to finish he was incredibly responsive, flexible, enthusiastic and fun. I am not the most photogenic person and he did a fantastic job with both our engagement and wedding photos. He has a gift for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, making you feel like a super special bride, and also just have a good time along the way. He even helped with some last minute logistical issues and was a calming factor on a very stressful wedding day! My jaw dropped when we saw our photos. Not only made us look good, but really captured the spirit of the day and some wonderful, brief moments we would have otherwise forgotten about. He also brought a second photog to help who did a great job in her own right and also ran our photobooth, which was a HUGE hit at the wedding. Multiple guests approached me afterwards to say how much they liked our photographers. We were so happy to have hired Aaron and I hope to find an excuse to work with him in the future! More...

Aaron was my absolute FAVORITE part of the wedding. He was so laid back, kind, funny, flexible and everything in between. We were looking for vendors that were easy going like my husband and myself so that our big day would be more or less stress free and he fit that perfectly . He captured some amazing pictures without being right in your face. He got some shots of us when we had no idea he was right there. It is so hard for me to picck my favorite pictures because there are so many amazing ones. His photography speaks for itself, but Aaron, in person, is just as amazing :) More...

Aaron has a fantastic eye for photography and his style is pretty amazing.  We contacted Aaron after seeing his photos of a Cathedral Park wedding in the Oregon Bride magazine. junebugweddings.com/blog…aaroncourter.com/oregon-…He also gets an A for customer service.  Aaron seems like a genuinely nice guy, and is very accomodating.  Since we live out of town, he arranged a consultation with us over Skype.  He was very easy to talk to, and kept us smiling!

He did our wedding photos and also happened to be at our engagement session. His photos are amazing, I couldn't have asked for more perfect portraits of our wedding. He captured every moment I was hoping for. He was laid back, yet so professional. I can't count all the compliments we recieved on our pictures. He really did an amazing job at capturing the majic of the day. More...

Why Aaron?From our first contact with Aaron, I knew we found our wedding photographer. His laid back, professional demeanor and positive attitude gave us assurance that he would be great to work with. This is so important as you'll be spending a good amount of time one-on-one with your photographer.On the day of the wedding, he arrived early, was well-dressed and made us feel relaxed which made for great photos.The photos His photos truly speak for themselves, but the thing I love most is his great judgment for composition. His photos appear so natural, and he is really good at finding good lighting and making his clients feel at ease.The timeline Shortly after the wedding, a Sneak Peak image was available and got us so excited for what was to come next. Ten days after the wedding, a blog of our images were available. This was so great to share with everyone. I also like how the blog images built the day of the wedding in chronological order. Seventeen days after the wedding, all the images were available online for viewing, printing, and purchasing. About a month after the wedding, we received a DVD of edited high-resolution JPEG images.The printsThe prints we received from his website are beautiful. They arrived well packaged and individually wrapped. They were far superior to prints I have had developed at Ritz, Walgreens and Shutterfly. My guess is that the images contain a color profile that was calibrated with the print service that Aaron used. This is not typical with many online printing services.I would highly recommend Aaron.

Aaron's photography speaks for itself.  You can easily look at how amazing his photos are on his website.  I don't think I need to comment on that, because it's right there for you to see.  So I'll restrict my review to other aspects.  We can call it his "customer service" if you like.Firstly, his attitude.  Some of the words I would use to describe him are: fun, easy going, kind, flexible, helpful, and willing.  Basically... If you're looking for someone who is going to put you at ease and make sure you have a good time while you're having your photo taken several hundred times, Aaron is your guy.  He's easy to work with and so enjoyable to be around that we pretty much forced him to hang out with us when he wasn't taking our pictures, just because we liked his company so much.Nextly, his professionalism.  He was always early for our sessions, diligently scoping out everything to make sure he knew where he wanted to take the shots and what the lighting situation was like.  He had a blog posting with a preview of some of our pictures up in less than 1 week from our wedding, and the full set of photos on disc was soon to follow in the mail.  I was really astounded at how quickly he edited our photos and got them back to us.  At my mom's request he did some extra editing on a photo she liked but wanted some changes on.  He also extended the discount sale of our wedding prints to our engagement session too (another request from my mom).I think that sums up the highlights.  My husband & I joke that we should pay him to just follow us around all the time, because his photos document things so wonderfully.  Also, his children are some of the luckiest in the world, because they will have such a beautiful record of their special childhood moments, like birthdays, first days of school, or just going for a walk with their adoring father.  Okay, I said I wasn't going to talk about his photos, but apparently I couldn't stop myself...

Beautiful, Amazing and Unique in Artistry

Aaron is upbeat with whimsy and oh so creative. His personality puts the highest strung bride and groom at ease to capture some absolutely gorgeous photography. He listened and managed to hit everything on my list of requests for photo sessions before, during, and after the wedding.

The BEST DECISION made regarding choice of vendors for the wedding. More...

Aaron is without a doubt the best photographer I could have hired for our wedding day! He is so king, genuine, professional, respectful, FUN. .. I could go on and on! We were so pleased with our decision to have Aaron represent us on our day. My family and friends loved him and continue to rave about him! I would (a have) recommended him to more family and friends. He offers such great quality in his work but gives you an experience, too! When we were shooting our engagement pictures, we couldn't help feeling like we were just hanging out with a friend! Aaron is an amazing and talented artist, we are so grateful to have worked with him! More...

Aaron loves what he does and it shows in every picture. He's creative without being weird. Professional without being uptight. He did our engagement, wedding and family photos. They all came out perfectly. Artful, unique, interesting photos that make it very hard to choose which ones to print because they are all so good. We're going to continue to update our life events with Aaron from here on out. He makes you feel really relaxed and during our wedding he was so unobtrusive we hardly noticed him. He blends right in when he needs to and somehow gets these amazing close-up shots when you didn't even know he was in the room. Our friends liked our photos so much they decided to use him for their engagement and wedding photos too. He is super likable. Funny and smart. Good conversationalist. He really seems to care about getting to know you and understand what you want. He's also great with kids. My wife and I wish we had a single friend to hook him up with. He's just that good of a dude. More...
