I am absolutely speechless right now. My jaw literally dropped – where do I even begin?
"Oh my goodness, Y'ALL!!!! I am absolutely speechless right now. My jaw literally dropped – where do I even begin? From the bottom of my heart, we can't express enough gratitude to both of you for playing such an important role in our wedding weekend, not to mention all the preparation that went into it. You managed to capture every single detail, both grand and subtle, with such precision. Now that the whirlwind of our wedding weekend is settling down, we've been spending countless moments trying to relive every bit of it together. That being said, I want to thank you for authentically capturing the emotions in every photo – be it the excitement, nerves, or pure joy. We can now truly reminisce and immerse ourselves in the magic of those moments through these photos. Needless to say, I am over the moon excited to spend my entire weekend looking at these over and over again. Your talent and dedication have truly made our wedding memories come alive, and we feel incredibly blessed to have had you capture these special moments. Working with you has been an absolute delight, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your incredible skills and making our wedding moments last a lifetime."
All of our love,
Kingsley & Hamilton
On the day of the wedding, they helped with wardrobe malfunctions, hair issues, crazy wind, and excited dogs all with a smile!
"These two are the sweetest, most incredible people and the best wedding photographers! I fell in love with their photos before I even met my husband, and I couldn’t believe I was able to have them as my photographers for my rehearsal dinner and wedding. We first met them for our engagement photos with our dogs and they somehow captured the most amazing pictures of our pups even with mine acting crazy most of the time! From the moment we met them I felt like we had known them for years, they are so bubbly, sweet, and caring! The very next day I received a sneak peek and couldn’t stop looking at the photos! They were incredible! Leading up to the wedding they send you questionnaires to make sure they capture every photo you want and discuss the best locations for different pictures. They have worked at so many venues they are pros when it comes to finding THE spot! It rained for part of my rehearsal dinner but those two stood in the rain capturing the most incredible photos on King Street! On the day of the wedding, they helped with wardrobe malfunctions, hair issues, crazy wind, and excited dogs all with a smile! Your photographers are right there for ALL the moments (first looks, crying with friends and family, first moments as husband and wife) and I couldn’t imagine two better people to have by my side capturing those moments! Just a few days after the wedding we received our sneak peek which included SO many photos and instantly brought me to tears! They were all so incredible! I couldn’t believe I was looking at my own event. They were the most gorgeous photos I had ever seen! If you are getting married, you MUST have them as your wedding photographers!"

My mom texted me today "I'm crying looking at this picture" and whenever we talk on the phone, 99.9% of the time, one of us just finished looking at the wedding photos AGAIN!
"OH . MY . GOSH - YOU GUYS!!! The both of you are INCREDIBLE! Not only are the photos beautiful but your timing is impeccable!!! Your email came through as soon as Chase and I landed in America, after the honeymoon! There was no time to be sad that the honeymoon was over!! All we felt was excitement that we could relive our favorite day through your beautiful photos!! I have honestly been at a lost for words since we received them. EVERY guest has told us how awesome and impressed they were with you guys. I think most of our family and friends would chose to be married in Charleston just to work with the two of you!! I'm not lying when I say everyone is still looking at these photos over and over again! My mom texted me today "I'm crying looking at this picture" and whenever we talk on the phone, 99.9% of the time, one of us just finished looking at the wedding photos AGAIN! From the bottom of mine, Chase and our families hearts, thank for your being so easy to work with, your kindness and for making it possible to relive our day through these beautiful photos. The best decision Chase and I made during the wedding planning process was working with you guys. You two really are THE BEST! "
Alyssa and Chase
We smiled, we cried, we laughed all the way through each and every ONE OF THE 1,736 photos!
Aaron and Jillian! I can not tell you....HOW AMAZING THESE PHOTOS ARE!!!! We smiled, we cried, we laughed all the way through each and every one of the 1,736 photos! The way you captured our day, we couldn't have asked for more! The pictures brought everything right back to how magical and special that day was to everyone- we can see it on everyone's faces in these incredible pictures! I love all the different types of shots we got as well! From our portraits as a married couple to the MOST fun candids, it truly feels like you got every moment. We had the chance to see so many things we missed that day which also just made everything feel complete! Getting our pictures back is one thing that helped me through the post wedding blues and gosh they delivered!!! I can't believe it is really us in some of them! Everyone we have shared the link with has just told us how beautiful the pictures are and that they feel like they are looking in a magazine. I could go on and on with the compliments we have received. We simply couldn't be happier. It was hard for me to write this email, because I can't believe we don't get to work together anymore! I have loved chatting with you guys throughout this process and Grant and I truly felt like we were hanging out with good friends the entire time you were taking our pictures for every occasion. You covered everything we wanted and more!! I will so miss your emails popping into my inbox!! I hope we can catch up in Charleston some time soon!!
All the best to you both- we can't thank you enough!
All our love,
The Dillard's
You both were such a grounding factor on such a crazy, rainy, cold, sprinkly, perfect day and for that, we could not be more thankful!
"AHHHHH!!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!! We were not expecting to get our photos back this fast!! We just had a little date night and have spent the past few HOURS looking through them!! And y'all... THEY ARE AMAZING!!! Absolutely, entirely, perfect!! I'm not going to lie, I might have shed a few tears! (no surprise there:) They somehow captured every special moment between us as well as all those that we weren't able to be a part of! We knew they were going to be incredible because y'all are incredible, but it feels as though we are reliving the best day of our lives. I have no words to describe how immensely grateful we are to have had y'all be an integral part of our special day. You had an immense impact not only on us, but on our families and friends as well. You both were such a grounding factor on such a crazy, rainy, cold, sprinkly, perfect day and for that, we could not be more thankful! I am sure you hear this all the time, but y'all are truly special and we just love y'all! Photography is an art and some consider it a talent, but when it comes to you two, you are truly blessed! We can't thank you both enough for everything!
Much love,
- PEYTON + BEN
Looking through our gallery, I think I just re-lived every emotion I was feeling that day and it was truly magical!
“Aaron and Jill, I mean WOW... There really are not enough words on this planet to describe my emotions right now! I am speechless and just beyond grateful! Looking through our gallery, I think I just re-lived every emotion I was feeling that day and it was truly magical! I teared up and laughed out loud just from looking at these photos and remembering the pure happiness and FUN we had that day! It was honestly the best night of Colin and I's life and we get to experience it over and over again thanks to these incredible photos! Unfortunately, there were so many moments or little details I missed, but you captured every detail to make me feel like I was able to see it all! You and Aaron have an amazing talent at capturing a feeling most would only get on video. You made Colin and I feel so comfortable and it shows through how natural we look on the other side of the camera. I am not sure how I am supposed to choose for an album?!?!? We are over the moon with happiness from our wedding day and we couldn't have done it without you both! Many of our guests still continue to talk about how wonderful you are! You didn't feel like vendors we chose to take photos of our wedding day, you felt like our friends who enjoyed the day alongside us! I cannot thank you enough!! Seriously... Do I owe you our first born?? hahahah I am just the happiest person over here!!!!! I can't stop smiling!! Okay but actually can we do it all again??”
- Jess + Colin
Bottom line, hire the dream team duo of Aaron and Jill, and you will be on the road to having the most incredible wedding vendor team!
We love you SO much, Aaron and Jill!
XOXO, Francina and Nate
The photos are absolutely STUNNING. The quality, the clarity, the colors. All of it.
"Forgive me as I struggle to put into words what I feel because - well its hard to put all of the emotions that we're feeling into words! The photos are absolutely STUNNING. The quality, the clarity, the colors. All of it - it really is like you captured these photos in "real life." Not only are the photos of us, our guests, the tent, etc perfect - the photos you captured of the house and property are absolutely unreal. And so special to me that in the crazy excitement of the day you remembered me saying capturing the house is so important because it's my family home! Secondly, I literally cried ALL WEEKEND (the happiest tears!!) going through these. With the right cameras and skills, many teams could probably argue for their ability to produce "pretty photos," but what you did transcended that. You didn't take photos, you captured memories. Somehow when I look back through these photos I still hear the band, people laughing, it's like I am transported right to that moment?! Plus, even though that weekend was THE BEST weekend of my life - I still know I couldn't be in every place at one time and there's just some things I missed out on seeing! But how did you manage to capture so many perfect little moments of all the people I love and cherish!?! Now I feel like I missed nothing! You have photos of people dancing I didn't even see there! These are photos that will last us a lifetime. The one word I kept leaning into for our wedding weekend was JOY. All the planning, flowers, food, tablecloths aside.... I just wanted it to be joyful. Like the kind of feeling you get Christmas morning sitting on the floor covered in wrapping paper surrounded by your family! And that is what I felt the entire weekend. THAT is what these photos captured. Even photos I normally would not *love* because my smile is too big and my nose is too crinkled... those are some of the most precious photos to me because my joy cannot even be contained.
From the bottom of my heart thank you!!""

WOW!! Their photos are INCREDIBLE, FRESH and VIBRANT - and they're a husband and wife team?! Can it get any better than that?
"We truly don't even know where to begin. Our very first impression of A&J was their online presence, which we immediately thought, WOW!! Their photos are INCREDIBLE, FRESH and VIBRANT - and they're a husband and wife team?! Can it get any better than that? Then when we spoke on the phone, we KNEW they'd be the ones taking out wedding photos! They're both so positive and upbeat and both my husband and I knew, right away, that we needed to book them! And we are THE MOST indecisive people, ever! Then after we booked them, Jill was always super quick to respond to me, even when they were traveling! She always provided me with an honest answer, and never a short one, which showed how much she care for her clients. As the wedding day finally arrives, we were so excited to see Aaron and Jillian! They were extremely professional and calming during a very emotional day for both of us. And they both dressed as if they were wedding guests, and in the color scheme of our wedding decor, which I thought was so awesome. So many of our guests thought it was awesome too! They're just truly the definition of A POWER COUPLE and work so well together! They helped guide us into certain poses and we loved watching them bounce their talents and ideas off of each other in the most positive and professional way! They handled big group of families of all ages and made everything feel SO SEAMLESS. We received the sneak peek of our photos within a couple days of our wedding and tears IMMEDIATELY filled our eyes. Aaron and Jillian know what they're doing and my advice for future brides and grooms is to JUST TRUST THEM because they are THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS! We really couldn't have asked for better people or photographers to spend our wedding day with! They were the perfect duo
Brad and Jennifer
They take beautiful portraits, lovely decor shots & plenty of candid photos for a perfect gallery blend.
“Aaron and Jillian are absolutely fabulous! We first met this duo when we came down to Charleston to do our tasting and design meetings and being the sweet Southern couple that they are, they invited u s for drinks at their gorgeous home! We chatted with them for hours and knew then that we had made the right choice in hiring them for our wedding day! I mean, we knew that we liked them, but we realized that WE LOVED THEM after our wedding day experience! First of all, they are total pros! They're absolute professionals and are SUPER DETAIL ORIENTED. Secondly, they're lovely to be around and bring and upbeat, positive, can-do attitude to your wedding day. My recommendation to any couple would be to consider your photographer's personalities when hiring them, in addition to their work. Your photographers will be with you ALL DAY - so you want to make sure that you get along with them! I can't imagine anyone not getting along with Aaron and Jillian!! My bridesmaids wanted to be Jill's best friend. Lastly, their pictures are AMAZING!! I'm a very tough photo critic and I LOVED EVERY SINGLE PHOTO they sent us. They take beautiful portraits, lovely decor shots and plenty of candid photos for a perfect gallery blend. We'll be looking at their special images and sharing them with our family and friends for years to come! So hire Aaron and Jill. You'll be so happy you did! Plus you'll get two amazing photographers bundled into one - it's a sweet, sweet deal!"
Emily + Eddie
If you are looking for amazing photographers but also people who genuinely care about your wants/needs, then look no further!
"Aaron and Jillian were the best decision we've ever made! Words cannot explain how much we loved working with Aaron & Jillian for our wedding! From the moment they showed up for the wedding weekend, they put everyone at ease with their fun loving and kind personalities. It was an absolute joy to work with them both! The pictures came back to us so quickly and I could not have asked for better photos! We even had a little ring mishap during our ceremony and somehow Aaron & Jillian came to the rescue and saved the day. I could not recommend them more and wish we could do our day over and over again just so we could get the chance to work with them!!! If you are looking for amazing photographers but also people who genuinely care about your wants/needs, then look no further!"
Brooke + Lawson
Our entire gallery was delivered right when we got back from our honeymoon and they are SO STUNNING!!
“Aaron and Jillian were one of my favorite parts about my wedding! My husband and I found them early on in our planning process and not only were we SO IMPRESSED with their photographs, they are the warmest people. From the first conversation, they immediately made us feel comfortable and when we hung up the phone, we were 150% sure we had to have them photograph our wedding! Beyond being extremely thorough with the planning of the photography throughout the day, Jill referred me to most of my other vendors and gave me her honest opinion on who she thought I'd like best. On our wedding day, we finally got to meet Aaron and Jillian and WE WERE BLOWN AWAY!! They guided us through the day seamlessly and made every request we had about our photos come true. We got so many compliments from our families and guests about how incredible our photographers were... and this was before we even saw our wedding photos!! Our entire gallery was delivered right when we got back from our honeymoon and they are SO STUNNING!! If you are able to book Aaron and Jillian for your wedding day, DO NOT HESITATE. They are the absolute best!”
Mary Tyler and Zach
I knew that I wanted Aaron and Jill to be our photographers long before I knew we would get married in Charleston!!
"I was never a girl who had a concrete vision of her wedding day, so when my husband and I got engaged, to say I was stressed would be an understatement. I didn't know where to begin! I spent a solid month scouring the internet for ideas and inspiration - and if you're a bride, you know how overwhelming this can be. I can't remember where I originally found Aaron and Jillian, it could have been on the Knot, or WeddingWire, or Instagram - Lord knows! But as soon as I looked through their photos, our entire wedding day became crystal clear. I knew that I wanted Aaron and Jill to be our photographers long before I knew we would get married in Charleston!! I didn't even consider any other photographers, and I have no regrets!
From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, they made every second so much fun. It felt like we were hanging out with old friends! They're such down-to-earth amazing people, and not to mention - they're absolute ROCKSTARS at what they do. They somehow make you feel extremely comfortable in front of a camera, and it definitely shows in the pictures. Happiness and excitement pour out of every single photo they took, and they truly captured every moment I was hoping for. They're almost too good, because it's taken me months to select 100 of my favorite photos for our album (and I'm still not done lol)! If Aaron and Jill are available to shoot your wedding, don't even give it another thought - hire them!!!"
Michele + Mike
Simply put, hiring Aaron and Jill was the BEST decision we made for our wedding!
"This review has taken us way too long to write simply because we've never felt like we had the words to do it justice. Simply put, hiring Aaron and Jill was the BEST decision we made for our wedding! While Aaron and Jill are incredibly talented (I mean just look at their albums are you even kidding me?), they are far more than wedding photographers. From the minute we started working with them, we felt like we had made two new great friends! They genuinely want the very best for their couples, and do everything possible to make your special day incredible. We would have been perfectly happy with great wedding shots to look back on and remember forever, but what we got with Aaron and Jill was so much more. From the minute they showed up to the bridal studio on the morning of my wedding, I was immediately relaxed. They have this infectious joy and lightheartedness that radiates throughout a room and makes everyone from the hair stylist to the MOB calm and excited. Jill made the getting ready process so much fun and gave amazing advice that made the rest of the day a breeze (and kept my hair from blowing in it!). They carried that calm and joyful attitude through the entire rest of our special day and were there at each turn to anticipate and capture every wonderful moment. They bring so much joy to what they do and it shines through in their work - Our wedding photos are unbelievable! If you have the chance to work with Aaron and Jill, don't even question it! Just call them and if you're lucky enough to book them for your wedding, it'll be the best decision you could possibly make as a newly engaged couple!"
Chase and Claire
Every time anything happened and I thought, "I really hope someone gets a picture of this", I would look over and Aaron and/or Jillian were already there, cameras at the ready!
“Aaron and Jillian photographed our wedding at Middleton Place and they were both so wonderful! We cannot imagine our wedding day without them now! A HUGE BENEFIT of working with A&J is that you have the pleasure of working with TWO AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHERS who are both true pros. They were able to tag-team our getting ready shots with Jillian photographing myself and my bridesmaids and Aaron photographing my husband and his groomsmen. Then throughout our wedding day, they made sure that we were comfortable and having fun in front of the camera, which resulted in SO MANY BEAUTIFUL AND STUNNING PHOTOGRAPHS. Also, our venue, Middleton Place, is a sprawling venue and thankfully we had Aaron and Jillian's help to guide us to the best places for photos!! Not only that, but they kept us on schedule for all of our special moments. They seem to have a 6th sense that puts them in the perfect position to take every photo. Every time anything happened and I thought, "I really hope someone gets a picture of this", I would look over and Aaron and/or Jillian were already there, cameras at the ready! We loved working with Aaron and Jillian and cannot praise, thank and recommend them highly enough. They are TRUE PROFESSIONALS and the most wonderful people to have around, capturing memories for you on your wedding day"
Stephanie and Greg
I actually canceled a work meeting this morning because I was midway through the gallery and I was like 'nope, I need to keep looking at these pictures. I can't take my eyes off them long enough to work. Shh don't tell my boss! LOL.
"OMG. No lie, taking this moment to write this email, is truly the first second all day that I haven't been staring at our photos because they are so gorgeous and warm and stunning and ugh, they just melt my heart and take me back to every moment of how perfect that Friday four weeks ago was!!! My face literally hurts from smiling for like the fifth hour straight and I just can't even contain the joy and emotion that this album is bringing me. I actually canceled a work meeting this morning because I was midway through the gallery and I was like 'nope, I need to keep looking at these pictures. I can't take my eyes off them long enough to work.' Shh don't tell my boss! LOL. We are so thrilled to share all of these photos with our family and friends and those who have already received some for us have commented how incredible both you and Aaron were. I've heard all of the compliments from how fun, kind, and interactive with the guests you were all the way to the gushing over the quality and style of your photos. And I couldn't agree more!! We knew before that day that your photography skills were next level but I truly had no idea how calm and natural you both are throughout the whole day! With all the pictures and different angles you captured, you would have thought there were at least five photographers but it was just the two of you!! Like all the ceremony pictures, how did y'all do that?!? It was like a magic trick!!
I cannot and will not ever stop loving these photos and I can't thank you enough for being the ones to capture our most special day. I can't imagine anyone else being able to pull the magic and joy and love of those moments, the kind of moments that only come once in a life, and put them into pictures. It's difficult ahead of weddings now a days with all the social media- Tiktok, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. - and the expectation that creates for brides on their own day with what their photos will look like but I have to say the thing that makes these photos so special to me is that they really capture, in the most authentic way possible, all of the people that I love most in this world. The goofiness, the beautiful quiet moments of reverence, the crocodile smiles with all of the teeth (me especially), tears of joy and tears of laughter, the dance moves, and all of the love. Every single drop. Okay done with my super sappy rant now but I just wanted to thank you and Aaron for everything you did! Tom and I will never forget what a special role you both played in making our wedding so beautiful and memorable, and now captured for us to revere forever.
We love you guys so much!!!"
- Cassie and Tom
They were able to wrangle our big families and wedding party with such poise and professionalism. and the photos were literally breathtaking.
"It is truly hard to put into words how grateful we are for Aaron and Jill. From our initial call with Jill we knew that they were going to be amazing. We had three days worth of wedding festivities and by the end of the weekend they literally felt part of our family. They were so great at making the whole weekend feel so fun and easy, we felt so relaxed throughout the wedding day photos. They were able to wrangle our big families and wedding party with such poise and professionalism. We had such a blast with them and the photos were literally breathtaking. One after or another, we couldn't believe how amazing all the photos came out and how perfectly they captured our wonderful wedding day. The reception photos brought us right back to the party and it felt just as fun as the actual day. We are so lucky to have these moments captured forever and I know whenever we look at these photos we will think of Aaron & Jill so fondly for helping make us feel beautiful and have so much fun. They are truly wonderful and sweet people and anyone would be lucky to have them as their photographer. We are already thinking of all the future weddings we want them to be as photographers or just as guests :) Thank you so much Aaron & Jill you truly mean the world to us.
- Emily + Nick
These photos look like they should be in Charleston Wedding magazine!
"OMG AARON AND JILLIAN you did it again!!!! The photos are absolutely incredible! I am so in love and in happy tears! These photos look like they should be in Charleston Wedding magazine! From the Spanish moss oak trees, to the Rolls-Royce vintage car, the American theater, and the ones captured in black and white, I felt like we were married in the 1950s. It truly felt like a fairytale. Every single photo shows talent, dedication, and passion for your work and you captured every single detail. I really don’t know how I will narrow them down for my album because every single photo is my favorite! I want to let those future brides know to look no further for a wedding photographer. Aaron and Jillian are not only incredibly talented photographers, but such wonderful and passionate people. It was such a pleasure to work with them both for our engagement shoot and wedding day and we are overjoyed with the outcomes! I can’t express enough appreciation and love for your work and you both!! We will truly miss you!!!
With much love,
Dr. and Mrs. Austin Cunningham
Our family and friends were in awe of their ability to be everywhere throughout the day, while also seamlessly blending in.
“Aaron & Jill were one of the first wedding vendors we knew we had to book the minute we saw their beautiful timeless photos, which speak for themselves! And while we were of course sold by their photography talents, what we had not factored in were the extra special vibes that they would bring to our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, they were super easy to communicate with and had a process that helped us narrow in on the pictures we wanted to reserve time for in the day-of schedule. From the minute Aaron & Jill arrived on the day of the wedding I knew we were in good hands. They brought such a calming energy and kept the timelines running smoothly while also making us feel like superstars in front of the camera and showed us how to pose in ways that felt natural for us. We opted to do our first look and photos around downtown Charleston, and they selected several of the most beautiful locations. They also made wedding party and family photos so easy, and even let us cool down in the much-needed AC of their car as we were waiting for the wedding party to come meet us – true lifesavers! Aaron & Jill captured so many beautiful shots down to the smallest details of the day, which are memories we will cherish forever. Our family and friends were in awe of their ability to be everywhere throughout the day while also seamlessly blending in. Aaron & Jill delivered our wedding gallery at the speed of light with so so many gorgeous photos that will no doubt stand the test of time. If you want photographers that feel like friends and capture your day to nothing less than timeless, classic perfection, pick these two hands down!”
Samantha and Mike
They are the epitome of a “POWER COUPLE”, but one that you also want to be best friends with!
“Aaron and Jillian a ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE YOU WANT FOLLOWING YOU AROUND ON YOUR SPECIAL DAY! We were lucky enough to meet A&J when they photographed my sister's wedding and we just wish we had more siblings so we could keep working with them!! They are the epitome of a “POWER COUPLE”, but one that you also want to be best friends with! My whole wedding adored them! Not only are they're a dream to have with you on your wedding day, they help make you and all of your friends and family feel so comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera! They're so loving and the biggest hype people, which made us feel so special all day! We even noticed some of their posing tricks and tips really stuck with us and we found ourselves using them when we would ask someone to take our photo on our honeymoon! All this to say, They are PERFECTION! Go book them now!”
– Chanel and Alex
From our very first conversation, we knew we made the right choice, but little did we know just how awesome working with them would be.
"OH MY GOSHHHHH!!!! After looking at these GORGEOUS photos I'm actually speechless... I truly don't think that words can adequately describe just how fantastic Aaron & Jillian are as photographers and as people. From our very first conversation, we knew we made the right choice, but little did we know just how awesome working with them would be. Our engagement session felt more like a double date than a photography session! They made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, and it felt like we were hanging out with two longtime friends the whole time. We are definitely NOT naturals in front of the camera but Aaron and Jillian made it so easy. They gave us such clear directions and would often model the poses for us which was SO incredibly helpful! We were absolutely blown away when we received our engagement photos. We loved every single image and they all had such a light and airy feel to them. We couldn't have been happier! When our wedding was postponed twice due to the pandemic, we absolutely knew they were the one vendor that we couldn't live without. In fact, we were prepared to change our wedding date if they hadn't been available for our new one!! Our wedding celebration ended up being 13 months later than originally planned, but it was so worth the wait! Throughout the entire day Aarron and Jillian were professional, efficient, detail oriented and so much fun to be around. Multiple wedding guests commented on how Aaron & Jillian seemed to be everywhere, capturing absolutely everything, but without the paparazzi vibes (lol) and we totally agree!! We are still in awe of our wedding photos. Every single image is stunningly beautiful and they truly captured the genuine joy and love that we felt throughout the entire day. I LOVE HOW LOOKING AT THEM BRINGS US RIGHT BACK TO THAT DAY AND ALLOWS US TO RELIVE IT OVER AND OVER! WE ARE GOING TO CHERISH THEM FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. And There is absolutely no way that we are ever going to be able to choose just 100 photos for our wedding album. Our photos are just that good y'all! We love them ALL! In conclusion, we hope it is clear by now that we are absolutely OBSESSED with Aaron and Jillian. Book them ASAP. It will be the very best wedding decision you make."
Kelly and Wil
Aaron and Jillian were one of our favorite parts of our wedding day.
"Aaron and Jillian were one of our favorite parts of our wedding day. They are not only extremely talented photographers, but the most fun people to be around. They are so responsive, organized and almost like extra wedding coordinators the day of. We didn't know exactly what to expect with pictures and they both immediately put us at ease. They made taking pictures fun and were the ultimate hype duo. They perfectly captured every detail of our day and we will cherish these pictures forever. We are truly blown away with the entire gallery. Wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!"
Anna Grace and Felix
Their photos and creativity are incredibly beautiful and they capture the most special moments.
"Jill and Aaron are incredible! I have nothing but amazing things to say about both of them. They are a dream-team couple to work with. We first met them for our engagement photo session a year before the wedding and we immediately felt extremely comfortable being our true selves, and they helped us feel natural being in front of a camera. Jill and Aaron photographed both our rehearsal dinner + welcome party and our whole wedding day. We spent most of the day with them and they were two of the most genuine and kind people ever. (especially saving the day with some last minute water and a power bar!) I'm so lucky to have had them as our photographers and am grateful to have gotten to know them throughout this process. Their photos and creativity are incredibly beautiful and they capture the most special moments. They've created lasting memories for us that we'll cherish forever and we could not be more thankful. I could not recommend Jill and Aaron enough!"

They are the ultimate hype squad and make you feel so comfortable and beautiful. By the end of our portraits, I was halfway convinced that we were seasoned models thanks to their praise.
"Aaron and Jillian are hands down the best wedding photographers in the business!!!! What is more, they are such gracious, lovely, and kind human beings. First, it must be said that they are unbelievably talented and hard-working. They delivered our wedding gallery full of 1442 frame-worthy photographs within 3 weeks of our wedding – yes, you heard that right, 1442 stunning, immaculate, glorious photos mere weeks later! These photos truly tell the story of wedding day and capture so many subtle moments that went by in such a blur. In addition to their talent, they are consummate professionals. From the moment we booked them, they were already thinking about the timeline – sunset, the golden hour, and how to document every last detail. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, they were extremely engaged, receptive, and responsive. When I was conflicted about bridesmaids' dresses, Jill immediately responded to my inquiry and helped me determine what would look best with the vision I had created. On the actual day, Jill functioned seamlessly as the "master of ceremonies" (in concert with our wedding planner) because she helped keep everything on schedule from a photos perspective so that we could actually savor each moment. She and Aaron managed to wrangle my very large family, an impressive feat in and of itself, and I was particularly impressed with how Aaron handled multiple ring-bearer toddlers melting down and diffused the situation so that my three-year-old nephew not only was calm enough to pose for a photo, but eagerly wanted to pose for one. Jill and Aaron were gliding around our venue, managing to somehow be in multiple places at once, while also simultaneously blending into the party (they even looked like wedding guests, matching the attire of our wedding). At the end of the night, Jill sprinted from the upstairs balcony into the street to get multiple angles of our exit because that is who she is - someone who will go above and beyond for you. And I just love that they are a husband-wife duo because they work so effortlessly with each other that you forget you have multiple cameras on you. They are the ultimate hype squad and make you feel so comfortable and beautiful. By the end of our portraits, I was halfway convinced that we were seasoned models thanks to their praise. Seriously, I cannot say it enough - they are PROS. Beyond that, they also care so much and are so invested in helping make your wedding day the most magical day possible! And most of all, they are genuine, kind, and fun people, who celebrate your happiness like the oldest of friends would. We feel extraordinarily fortunate to have had Aaron and Jillian as our wedding photographers and will cherish the photographs and memories for decades to come. Simply put, if you are lucky enough to book them for your wedding, do it immediately – it will be the best wedding decision you make!"

Oh my GOODNESS!! I literally teared up scrolling through these...
“Oh my GOODNESS!! I literally teared up scrolling through these... can't wait to give these a deep dive after work today! These will be also special to share with my family when we go to their house next week for Christmas. What could be better than to open some red wine, reminisce over our incredible weekend, and watch on the big screen?! Matt and I truly can't say enough about how much we appreciated you two being there to capture our day... and for simply being a pleasure to be around. Just wanted to let you know that your genuine hospitality (not to mention the quality photos that y'all deliver) goes a long way and doesn't go unnoticed. I told you once and I'll tell you again that Matt hates having his picture taken, but having you both there changed his view on it! He was even intentional about tucking his hand into his pocket in each of our honeymoon pictures, strictly based on your constructive posing advice from our wedding day!! We can't wait to order prints and start designing our wedding album! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Margaret + Matt
there literally isn't a single picture that we didn't like!
Jill and Aaron you guys are actual magicians! I can't even describe to you how shocked I was looking through out engagement pictures. Not that I had any doubt in you two (we picked you guys for a reason, I mean obviously look at your work!!) but there literally isn't a single picture that we didn't like! You made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and it was like we were just hanging out with longtime friends. We feel so much more at ease and are so so excited that you'll be there for our wedding (less than one year away now woohoo!!) Thank you for also being amazing dog whispers and getting such sweet shots of Dunkin, we are going to treasure those pictures foreverY'all are the absolute best and we feel so lucky to have met you both. Thank you so so much again!!
Xoxo,
Molly and Tanner"
my entire wedding party said they are going to have Aaron and Jillian photograph their wedding, even the guests were asking me for their information
"OH MY GOSH!
AARON AND JILLIAN ARE THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY TEAM AROUND.
They made the wedding day feel so relaxed and they truly feel like family. I can not recommend them enough. From the first introduction you will feel like you are their friend, they are so warm and welcoming. They work so fast and got our sneak peaks to us 2 days after the wedding. I have never experienced such amazing customer service. If you are looking for your wedding photographers you HAVE to go with Aaron and Jillian, they are the best team there is. After my wedding my entire wedding party said they are going to have Aaron and Jillian photograph their wedding, even the guests were asking me for their information. By far the best decision I made when choosing vendors."
- Avery + Jacob
Your encouragement, guidance, and positive energy made it all so, so easy. You captured the day flawlessly, and have helped us relive every single minute of the best day of our lives.
We have not stopped looking through all of these amazing, beautiful, perfect photos since we received them in our inbox. And we can't believe how early they arrived!!! Like what?!?! Thank you SO MUCH! We also cannot thank you enough for being a part of our special day. Nick and I (and our families and friends) are SO amazed at how beautiful every single photo turned out. We have received so many compliments. When Nick and I received the link, our jaws dropped... You captured the day flawlessly, and have helped us relive every single minute of the best day of our lives. We will be forever grateful for the two of you. From the engagement session, to the wedding day itself, you made us feel so comfortable and special. Your encouragement, guidance, and positive energy made it all so so easy. It was truly a pleasure working with you both! Our families can't stop looking at the photos and crying tears of joy. We love you guys and we will be forever grateful for you!!
- Maeve & Nick
Ohhhhh my goodness we literally have no words going through these photos! Jaw on the floor.
"Ohhhhh my goodness we literally have no words going through these photos!!!! Our cheeks hurt from smiling so hard. It brought back so many amazing memories from only a month ago, I can't believe it came and went so fast. We’ve laughed and cried, looking at them for the past 2 hours. You captured literally everything we dreamed of and we're so thankful for the two of you! What a team!! Andrew is going through them AGAIN as I write this. The drone during sunset?! Jaw on the floor. I cannot believe those shots!!! I'm so happy you captured so many amazing decor photos too, since I didn't see it before guests arrived! They're BEAUTIFUL! Sooo dead at some of the dance floor photos too. We had some characters there. That's for sure
All 1485 pictures are insanely beautiful. I'm so excited to share more with everyone now that we're back from our honeymoon and have nothing on our plates!! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the time, guess I'll just keep looking at these pictures lol! Thank you again, we couldn't be more grateful to have you as photographers for the best day of our lives!
Hugs!!!

“Wow, I don't even know where to begin - Aaron and Jillian are not only the most talented, thoughtful and skilled photographers, but they are also the kindest, most fun and genuine couple that you hope will be your friends. The only way I think I can try and bottle up my admiration and gratitude for them is by saying that honestly if they hadn't been available on our wedding day, I would have worked around their schedule! They do such an incredible job making sure that you feel comfortable and showing you how best to pose - our engagement and wedding photos were more than I could have ever dreamed of! They have a contagious energy of joy that surrounds them and they bring out the best in everyone - myself, my husband, our wedding party and all of the guests. Every pose and moment captured felt so natural and yet so sincere. Everyone couldn't stop raving about how fabulous and fun Aaron and Jillian are. In more ways than I probably know, they saved the day from minor and major hiccups, such as driving me, my mother and my sister to the venue when the trolley was delayed in traffic! Even when things could have been stressful, they were effortlessly cool and you can trust that they will not only make this night the night of your dreams, but capture it so beautifully so you can have the memories for years to come. I cannot thank you both enough, Aaron and Jillian. We feel beyond grateful to have met you both and to have had the opportunity to work with you on the most important day of our lives.”
Shannon + Brendan
"Aaron and Jillian are hands down the BEST wedding decision we made! They are extremely talented, professional, and hardworking and on top of that, they are just really good people. My husband and I got married in Charleston and they were such a joy to work with. No one tells you how much time you spend with your photographers on your big day and we could not be happier that we had Aaron and Jillian for ours. Our wedding photos are perfect in every way and truly captured the essence of our big day. We were blown away with the quality and range of photos they took. Having every detail and moment captured in such a beautiful way will be something we cherish forever. We cannot recommend Aaron and Jillian enough! you'll be so happy to have people like them around you on your wedding day and to have the photos they capture, for the rest of your life!"
- Carly + Derek
"Honestly, I've been procrastinating writing this review because I don't know how to adequately and eloquently summarize how incredible Aaron and Jillian are!! First of all, they are genuinely kind and caring individuals. We went through covid postponements and a venue change and Aaron and Jillian helped coach us through so much of it (which is not their job at all!!). They are true professionals and were always quick to respond to any emails, texts, or calls. Furthermore, the way Aaron and Jillian work together is absolutely seamless. We were attacked by nats on our wedding day, fought through humidity, potential storms, and wind; however, you would NEVER know by the way Aaron and Jillian worked and how our photos turned out. Speaking of, our engagement and wedding photos are more than we could have ever asked for! Aaron and Jillian's style is timeless, and I know we will cherish our photos for a lifetime. They also turned around our photos so quickly and provided an abundant selection of photos, making sure to catch every single little detail and moment. I genuinely could go on and on, and this truly does not do them justice, but the net of it is that they truly are the best of the best!!"
- Maddie + Austin
"Aaron and Jill are Simply the BEST! I'VE BEEN STARING AT our wedding PHOTOS DAILY and THEY ARE SO PERFECT! We fell in love with them from our first conversation and literally can not say enough good things about this dynamic duo photography team! Not only are they incredibly talented (seriously every single photo they took was magazine worthy), but they're professional, very reliable & easy to communicate with, and they're extremely personable! they're the type of people you just want to be around all the time! They're both such bright lights and made us feel SO comfortable throughout our engagement shoot/wedding day! They captured SO many gems with a quick turnaround. Our bridal party and guests were obsessed with them as well. They clearly love what they do and their passion and energy is contagious. Plus they have such amazing chemistry working together as a married couple team. Hands down one of the best decisions we could have made around the wedding! We could not recommend them enough and are so thankful for the hard work they put in to make sure the magic of our wedding was captured on film."
"Aaron and Jillian are the pro's pros of wedding photography. They had incredible social media, were immediately responsive when we inquired with them, and were detail-oriented and organized (my husband and I are both doctors and are quite particular). But their secret talent lies in their incredible personalities. First, they will make you want to be friends for life. Second, they are calm, collected, and reassuring on your wedding day. Through their A&J magic, they will help you relax in front of the camera and show off your best selves. Of course, it doesn't hurt that they are an adorable couple who will also model poses for you! Finally, the actual shots they prepared were beautiful. I couldn't be happier with the finished product. Their turn around time was also insaneeeeee (under 2 weeks). We loved them and happily, strongly recommend them to you, internet readers."
- Meg + Andres
“Aaron and Jillian are amazing photographers and even better people! I would recommend them to anyone. 10/10. The whole process with them was so organized and thoughtful. They are communicative, reliable, and have warm, outgoing personalities. They excel with both portraits and candids (very rare!) and are such a joy to be around. They captured our wedding day beautifully!! They genuinely care about each photo. It was so hard to pick our favorite photos from our wedding - Literally every photo is flattering, memorable, and captured the wedding even better than we remembered! Call and book them now - they are the best Charleston (and beyond) wedding photographers. Thank you Aaron and Jillian again!!!”
– Lauren + Bo
“It has taken me way too long to write this review because I knew I wouldn't be able to do them justice, but I will try! Aaron and Jillian were one of the first and best decisions we made for our wedding! From my first phone call with Jillian, it immediately felt like we had somehow been friends forever. Both Aaron and Jillian have an incredible way of making everyone so comfortable in front of the camera, which translates to beautiful and natural pictures. When we go through our pictures from our wedding day, it is almost like we are reliving all the moments, which is so important when the day itself goes by way too fast! It rained almost the entire day and my biggest concern was not getting the pictures I wanted, but Aaron and Jillian quickly shifted gears and utilized areas inside of our venue to still give us all the pictures we could ever want. And in case you need an up-do in the middle of your reception because you are sweating with your hair down, look no further because Jillian is your girl!! She pulled me away off the dance floor for a couple minutes and I came back with a whole new look! Lastly, as the rain derailed our boat exit, Jillian and Aaron offered to drive us to our hotel in their brand new beautiful white SUV. They are wonderful photographers and humans. Thank you for everything!”
– Kathryn + austin
"Aaron & Jillian are simply the best! My husband and I planned a destination wedding in Charleston and hiring great photographers was extremely important to us. Not being from the area, I did an extensive amount of research and just kept coming back to their light and airy photography that felt so perfect for Charleston. I was already sold on them just from looking at their work, but after talking to Jillian I knew we had made the right choice. She was so kind and gave great suggestions on her favorite vendors to work with. And let me tell you, Aaron and Jillian are true professionals who pay attention to every little detail and know all the best spots in Charleston. They drive you to all of the locations to make it easy for you and really maximize their time with you. Jillian asked about our wedding colors and design and she and Aaron showed up dressed perfectly to fit right in with our guests. They take the time in advance to find out what is most important to you in terms of the type of photos you want most. My husband and I did not do engagement photos and I was worried we would be awkward in front of the camera and not know what to do. But we had no reason to worry, since Aaron and Jillian made us feel so comfortable and guided us through it all. We genuinely had so much fun with them and they're just the type of people you want to be friends with! A big bonus working with a husband and wife duo was that they demonstrated with each other what to do or how to pose, which was so helpful and very sweet because it was clear to see how much they love each other. They also got a lot of great candid photos of our guests, as we requested. Our guests loved them too and commented on how nice they were. We received all of our photos just TWO WEEKS after our wedding and they were STUNNING!! Looking through all of the pictures was like reliving the day all over again. They captured every moment, including many that we didn't even see ourselves and were so grateful they took. They just went above and beyond. In the sneak peak they shared on Instagram, there was a beautiful picture of downtown Charleston. I asked about the photo and told Jillian that I wanted to print a large photo of just Charleston that highlighted the city's architecture and she then added a whole bunch of pictures they have taken of downtown throughout the years to give us a bunch of options. I just cannot say enough about what talented photographers they are and even better people! AARON AND JILLIAN, WE CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR SO BEAUTIFULLY CAPTURING OUR DAY!!"
- Megan and Paul
"Aaron and Jillian are the best of the best. We did our engagement photos with them and they directed us through every single photo and made the experience relaxing, comfortable, and fun! They are so personable and make you feel like you've known them for years. The turn around for our pictures was so quick and every single picture is amazing. We cannot wait for them to photograph our wedding day!! Please make the investment and choose them! They are amazing and you will not regret it!"
- darrah + brandon
"I cannot say enough great things about having Aaron and Jillian as the photographers at our wedding! We looked at several photographers in the Charleston area and booked Aaron and Jillian without having met them based on their beautiful work and their glowing reviews! Their work speaks for itself, so you know you'll get great pictures with them! They also made us feel so comfortable throughout the day as they explained how to pose for certain pictures, which is not another thing you want to worry about on your big day! Lastly, they are incredibly kind, which is super important since they are going to be interacting with all of your family, friends and other vendors. If you're looking for wedding photographers, debating the options and experiencing wedding decision fatigue, book them! You will love working with them, we definitely did!
Thank you again, Aaron and Jillian!!"
– Kelly + Patrick
"we TRULY CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT AARON AND JILL. WE FLEW THEM TO NYC FOR OUR WEDDING AND I AM SO GLAD WE DID. NOT ONLY ARE THEY A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH PROFESSIONALLY, IT FELT LIKE WE WERE HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS THE WHOLE DAY. THEY SCOUTED THE ABSOLUTE PERFECT LOCATIONS FOR OUR PHOTOS (DIFFERENT FROM OUR OWN INITIAL THOUGHTS, WHICH WAS GREAT) AND WE WERE TRULY BLOWN AWAY BY EVERY SINGLE ONE - IT IS GOING TO BE TOUGH TO DECIDE WHAT TO FRAME! THEY CAPTURED THE ESSENCE OF OUR DAY (AND THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT WE WERE HOPING FOR!) PERFECTLY. I'M SAD THAT THE WEDDING IS OVER AND WE DON'T GET TO HANG OUT WITH THEM ANYMORE! I WISH THEY COULD PHOTOGRAPH ALL OF OUR SPECIAL MOMENTS! IF YOU ARE AT ALL TORN BETWEEN PHOTOGRAPHERS, DON'T BE. THEY ARE AMAZING."
- TAYLOR + MIKE
"WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN!? AARON & JILL ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND SO TALENTED! WE ARE SO GLAD WE CHOSE THEM TO CAPTURE OUR WEDDING DAY. FROM DAY ONE, THEY WERE ALWAYS QUICK TO RESPOND, SUPER KIND, FLEXIBLE AND ANSWERED MY HUNDREDS OF QUESTIONS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. SINCE WE LIVE IN CHICAGO, WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO MEET THEM UNTIL OUR WEDDING DAY BUT I WAS SO EXCITED TO FINALLY MEET THEM BECAUSE I FELT LIKE WE HAD BEEN FRIENDS FOR YEARS FROM ALL OF THE EMAILING BACK AND FORTH JILL AND I HAD DONE FOR THE 10 MONTHS PRIOR! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THEM ALL DAY AND THEY MADE THE HUNDREDS OF PICTURES THEY TOOK EASY AND FUN, SERIOUSLY THEY HAD US LAUGHING ALL DAY! NOT ONLY OUR WEDDING PARTY, BUT GUESTS KEPT COMING UP TO US THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT SAYING HOW AWESOME THEY ARE. JILL ALSO HELPED THE GIRLS WHILE WE WERE GETTING READY ON DECIDING WHICH EARRINGS WOULD LOOK BEST WITH MY DRESS (I HAD A FEW OPTIONS AND COULDN'T DECIDE), REMEMBERING TO REMOVE HAIR TIES FROM MY BRIDESMAIDS WRISTS, HELPED WITH MY VEIL, KEPT FIXING MY HAIR TO ENSURE EVERYTHING WAS IN PLACE, ETC. THEY DO EVERYTHING TO ENSURE YOUR PICTURES WILL LOOK ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. ON TOP OF THAT, WE GOT OUR PICTURES BACK EXTREMELY QUICKLY, WHILE WE WERE STILL ON OUR HONEYMOON WHICH WAS A NICE SURPRISE, AND THE PICTURES ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! THEY CAPTURED EVERYTHING SO PERFECTLY AND I AM STILL GETTING COMPLIMENTS ABOUT HOW AMAZING THE PICTURES ARE AND THAT THEY BELONG IN A MAGAZINE! WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED WORKING WITH AARON & JILL AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER. YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM WHEN YOU MEET THEM, THEY'RE JUST THAT GREAT! :)"
- ALEXA + SCOTT
"We're sitting here in complete awe of how BEAUTIFUL our wedding pictures are... literally we're speechless. They take us right back to our wedding day and evoke all the same emotions we felt on that day. These are moments we will never forget, and thanks to your amazing photography, we never will! Seriously you two went above and beyond our expectations. From fitting in all our requested pictures to editing away my crazy BLONDE highlights that wanted their moment in the sun- HA! I can't tell you how many compliments and questions we've already received from friends + family asking if you two travel. I don't know how we'll ever be able to thank you for capturing our special day so wonderfully. You are two of the kindest souls we've ever met. We're so thankful to have met you both and hope to see you again in the future! Keep killing the wedding game!!!"
- Kristy + MARK
“Where do i even begin? I don’t know if there are words to explain how incredibly talented and wonderful Aaron and Jillian are. They are not only the kindest, most amazing people, but they take the most incredible photos of any weddings I’ve ever seen. My husband and I received our album today and were BLOWN AWAY by how outstanding each and every image was. I was brought to tears looking through them all, because they captured each and every moment so incredibly perfectly, that it truly felt like I was reliving our wedding day again. I truly treasure these photos and I feel so lucky that we were able to book them for our special day. It absolutely would not have been the same without them. Had they not been available - I probably would’ve changed my wedding date to a day when they were. That’s how good they are. Totally speechless”
– Bayleigh + Brian
"AARON & JILLIAN ARE AN ABSOLUTE MUST!!! MY HUSBAND AND I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GLOWING REVIEWS. A TROPICAL STORM CAME THROUGH ON OUR WEDDING DAY, AND AARON & JILL MADE US SO AT EASE. THEY WERE WILLING TO GO OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN WITH US TO STILL CAPTURE PICTURES AT SPOTS THAT WE HAD REQUESTED. THEY ARE SUCH AMAZING PEOPLE THAT GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE KNOWN THEM FOREVER! THEY ARE VERY ORGANIZED AND PROFESSIONAL. THEY COMPLETED OUR DAY! SERIOUSLY, LOOK NO FURTHER!!"
- KATE & KYLE
Aaron and Jill are THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY DUO AROUND and absolutely amazing! They are so easy to work with and make you feel so comfortable. So professional and so fun. They did such an amazing job capturing all of the special little moments on our wedding day. We just got our photos back and absolutely love them. All of guests kept saying over and over again how impressed they were with Aaron and Jill. We cannot thank them enough for being a part of our special day. Thank you for capturing all the beautiful moments on June 1, 2020 for us! You guys are the best!"
- Carly + Sean
“If you want to find the best photographers you've ever worked with and that can also become your friends, look no further than this couple right here. Truly could not have had a more positive experience than working with Aaron and Jillian. From day one Jillian helped coach me on exactly what I had in mind for my wedding day. She planned out my first look, my pre and post wedding photos and let me tell you- if you are worried about chaotic families for family pictures- this girl takes the cake for how to handle that. She kept everyone so calm and rolled through them like a true champion while Aaron was photographing our cocktail hour. Not only that but we got our photos back in just WEEKS, unheard of. And every single one of them was just to die for, we can't pick favorites because we love them all. They rallied our group, got down and dirty for the good shots, and the photos of my husband and I are once in a lifetime looking. They really captured the true beauty of the city and made us feel so comfortable in our own skin. We all got along great and they really delivered on what we were looking for. They have a true talent and eye for what you want to get as a result and we are so thankful for them!”
– Jenna + Owen
“Aaron & JilLIAN, AHHHHH!!!! Omg omg omg! You guys are AMAZING!! We are speechless and in absolute tears looking at how gorgeous these photos are!!!! Like, seriously in shock there are humans out there that are this INSANELY talented!!!! You captured our love for each other and of beautiful Charleston so perfectly. These are pictures we will have and enjoy for a lifetime and there's no greater gift you could've given us. Thank you SO much for making us feel comfortable during our session and capturing these unforgettable moments!!! We are so happy to have found you two!!"
- Kristy & Mark
"I can't say enough good things about Aaron and Jillian! They were absolutely incredible to have with us on our wedding day. My husband and I aren't photo people (we rarely take photos) but the two of them made us feel at ease in front of the camera. They both gave us tips throughout the morning to help make our photos that much more spectacular and we had an absolute blast taking photos! They were both very organized and friendly throughout a stressful day to keep everyone happy and on schedule! Our friends and family were even commenting throughout the night on how amazing they were and when we shared our photo album afterwards we received glowing remarks on how stunning the photos are. We can't wait to have some of them framed!!"
- Maggie + Ryan
"I AM CRYINGGGG. I am sooo obsessed. Our photos are sooo gorgeous!!!!! We absolutely love them! Y’ALL ARE THE BEST, EVER! Seriously... We could not thank y’all enough!! The pictures are absolutely amazing and they captured the night so perfectly... emotions and all. They are so beautiful and you two are talented beyond belief! Thank you, thank you, thank you. It was such an awesome experience getting to know you both over the wedding weekend, and we were blessed to have you both as our photographers! My entire family wants to use y'all for any kind of photos moving forward, we all love them so much! We appreciate y’all and the lovely photos we will cherish forever! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!"
- Kayla + Grant
"Aaron and Jill absolutely crushed it on our wedding day! It’s hard to imagine anyone coming close to their level of professionalism and positive energy. All of our guests loved them as well! Our wedding day was filled with adjustments due to weather and I was so thankful to have photographers that knew exactly how to navigate the changes so that we have photos more amazing then I could have imagined. But truly, not only are you getting beautiful pictures, you are getting two very supportive and positive people to help you navigate the ups and downs of a busy wedding day! We are so grateful to have found Aaron and Jillian Photography and we 100% recommend them for your big day!"
- Micaela and Russ!
"Aaron and Jillian are phenomenal! They were the photographers at a friend's wedding and they impressed us and were the first vendor we reached out to to book! When we had to make the hard decision to get married in a private ceremony, during the pandemic, we planned a reception party at our venue, at a later date and they were so understanding and helped us make the best of the new date. they even took some beautiful pregnancy photos of me, since I was 6 months pregnant. Their photography skills are amazing, but what also made them so special is that they felt like good friends, throughout the entire experience. Their ideas and involvement in the wedding made everything even better than we could have planned. All of our guests commented to us during, and after, our wedding that Aaron and Jillian felt like wedding guests and friends to all of us :) Jillian even helped me re-do my hair during the reception after the weather frizzed it... and it looked like a professional updo. If there's any vendor I would say "do your best to have...", it would 100% be these two sweet and extremely talented photographers!!!"
- Jenny + Mike
"THIS REVIEW DESERVES WAY MORE THAN 5 STARS! AARON AND JILLIAN WERE NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING! THEY ARE A TRUE DYNAMIC DUO! IN FACT, 2 MONTHS LATER AND ALL OF OUR WEDDING GUESTS ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT HOW AWESOME OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS WERE! FROM THE MOMENT WE MET THEM AT THEIR HOUSE IN WEST ASHLEY, WE IMMEDIATELY KNEW THEY WERE THE PERFECT FIT FOR US. COMING FROM NEW JERSEY- WE BROWSED PHOTOGRAPHERS ONLINE AND AARON AND JILLIAN'S PHOTOS JUST STOOD OUT TO US. THEY ARE VIBRANT AND BRIGHT AND JUST SOAK UP EVERY MOMENT! I IMMEDIATELY SENT THEM AN EMAIL TO MEET WITH THEM ON MY NEXT TRIP TO CHARLESTON. MY HUSBAND WAS NOT ABLE TO COME WITH ME TO THIS INITIAL MEETING SO I BROUGHT MY BEST FRIEND/BRIDESMAID. Y'ALL- WE SPENT TWO HOURS AT THEIR (BEAUTIFUL, PINTEREST PERFECT) HOUSE OOING AND AWING OVER EVERY SINGLE PHOTO THEY SHOWED US, MESMERIZED ON THEIR ORGANIZATION, SIPPING ON COFFEE AND TREATS, FEELING LIKE WE KNEW THEM FOREVER! MY BRIDESMAID AND I LEFT THAT MORNING KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT MY DECISION WAS GOING TO BE. THEY ARE EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE VIA EMAIL AND ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS/CONCERNS SO PROMPTLY- EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR "OUT OF OFFICE" EMAIL THEY STILL RESPOND LETTING YOU KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE BACK! THEY BLENDED RIGHT IN AND TOOK THE MOST NATURAL AND CANDID PICTURES EVER. JILLIAN GIVES THE BEST TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE THE PHOTO BETTER - POPPING A LEG OR LEANING IN CLOSER ETC. - OUR ENTIRE WEDDING PARTY, FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAD A BLAST WITH AARON AND JILLIAN. WE HAD A PRETTY BIG WEDDING PARTY, SIX KIDS IN OUR WEDDING (YES, SIX- LOTS OF NIECES AND NEPHEWS!) AND OUR PRECIOUS PUP AND THEY GOT THE MOST AMAZING PICTURES OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON AND THEY DID THIS WITH EASE. THEY TRULY CAPTURED EVERY MOMENT. THEY TAKE THE MOST INCREDIBLE PHOTOS ANYONE HAS HAVE EVER SEEN AND REALLY TAKE THE TIME AND EFFORT TO MAKE ALL OF THE PHOTOS COME TO LIFE! I AM SAD THAT THE DAY HAS COME AND GONE BUT AM SO GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE THESE PHOTOS TO RELIVE THE MOMENT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WE CAN NOT THANK AARON AND JILLIAN ENOUGH! THEY MADE OUR WEDDING DAY 100X MORE SPECIAL THAN IT ALREADY WAS. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE INSIDE AND OUT AND WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE GETTING MARRIED IN THE CHARLESTON AREA!"
- JESSICA + JOSH
"AARON AND JILL ARE HANDS DOWN THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS IN CHARLESTON! WE DECIDED TO CHOOSE A PACKAGE TO DO BOTH ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS AND OUR WEDDING DAY PHOTOS, AND I AM SO HAPPY WE DID! NOT ONLY ARE THEY BOTH EXTREMELY FRIENDLY AND MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE FAMILY, BUT ARE BOTH SO PATIENT AND HELPFUL WHILE POSING FOR THE PERFECT PICTURE. THEY ARE EXPERTS AT USING NATURAL SUNLIGHT TO CAPTURE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PICTURES, AND KNOW EXACTLY WHERE AND WHEN TO POSE FOR BREATHTAKING PHOTOS. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE SO HAPPY WE CHOSE THIS AMAZING COUPLE TO CAPTURE OUR SPECIAL DAY!"
- JILL + ZACK
"Hi!!! OMG! These are amazing!!!!! Everyone in our family has been freaking out about how incredible all of the photos are. And everyone cannot stop talking about how comfortable and natural you made everyone feel in front of the camera!!! Thank you guys times a million!! We are so grateful that you were at our wedding and gave us such amazing memories!!! !"
- sonja + jeff
"OMG WOW! We are absolutely speechless! These photos are beyond perfect and truly better than we could have ever imagined! Tyler and I wanted to look through our wedding gallery for the first time together, so we waited until after work today...let's just say waiting was so hard! We put all the photos on our TV, cracked open a bottle of wine, and re-lived the best day of our lives! We have no idea how we will ever decide on our top 100 for the album, but I know we will have a blast doing it! Thank y'all so much again for capturing our wedding day so perfectly!!! Y'all are seriously the best and deserve all the praise!"
- Kelsi + Tyler
"AARON & JILLIAN NAILED IT! WE STARTED OUR ADVENTURE WITH AARON AND JILLIAN A YEAR AGO WHEN WE BOOKED THEM (UPON RECOMMENDATION FROM OUR EPIC WEDDING PLANNER: S/O BROOKE SOUTHERN/MILLER @ BOUTIQUE PLANNING) FOR OUR DECEMBER WEDDING. WE KNEW WE HAD PICKED THE RIGHT PEOPLE FROM DAY 1 WHEN JILL ASKED FOR OUR LOVE STORY AND WANTED TO FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM - IT FELT LIKE THEY TRULY WANTED TO GET TO KNOW US AND UNDERSTAND OUR RELATIONSHIP. OUR ENGAGEMENT PICTURES WERE INCLUDED WITH OUR PACKAGE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO SQUEEZE US IN (DURING WHAT WAS LIKELY A CRAZY WEDDING SEASON! ) FOR AN OCTOBER AFTERNOON WHILE WE WERE IN TOWN FOR SOME PLANNING. FOR TWO PEOPLE THAT GET A LITTLE “AWKWARD” IN FRONT OF A CAMERA, AARON AND JILLIAN MADE US FEEL SO AT EASE. WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SO WEIRD BEING ALL LOVEY-DOVEY IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE, BUT THEY MADE IT SO FUN FOR US AND WE JUST SO ENJOYED SPENDING TIME WITH EACH OTHER, AND THEM, PERUSING THE STREETS OF CHARLESTON. JILL HAD EVEN REACHED OUT BEFOREHAND TO CHECK WHAT KIND OF VIBES WE WERE GOING FOR - I TOLD HER CUTE GREENERY/ALLEYWAYS AND HISTORIC CHARMING HOMES (ALWAYS ENCHANTING) AND THEY TOOK US TO THE PERFECT SPOTS! WE WERE SO HAPPY WITH HOW OUR ENGAGEMENT PICTURES CAME OUT AND HOW “EASY” THEY MADE IT, THAT ANY ANXIETY WE HAD ABOUT OUR PICTURES FOR THE BIG DAY FELL TO THE WAIST SIDE. FAST FORWARD TO OUR WEDDING, THESE TWO REALLY MADE OUR DAY SO FREAKING SPECIAL. THEY SOMEHOW PERFECTLY MANAGED TO BALANCE BEING COMPLETELY INVISIBLE AT TIMES (CAPTURING EVERY IMAGE WITHOUT EVER INTERRUPTING OR INTRUDING), WHILE ALSO DIRECTING US AND HELPING CREATE A SEAMLESS FLOW FOR THE ENTIRE DAY. (SMALL SIDE NOTE, BUT I SHOULD ALSO MENTION, THAT BOTH JASON AND MY PARENTS ARE DIVORCED, SO THEIR DIRECTION DURING FAMILY PICTURES WAS INVALUABLE AND MADE OUR STRESS DISSIPATE. ) SO MANY GUESTS CAME UP TO US EXCLAIMING HOW WONDERFUL OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS WERE - AND TO THINK THAT WAS BEFORE THEY EVEN SAW THE ACTUAL PICTURES! THAT WAS JUST BASED ON THEIR ENERGY AND PERSONALITIES. HAVING JILLIAN AND AARON PART OF OUR BIG DAY WAS NOT ONLY A JOY, BUT SINCERELY A PLEASURE. AND ARGUABLY MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE PICTURES BELOW SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, BUT BETWEEN THE POSES, COLOR, EDITING, AND SCENERY... ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS - THESE GUYS TOTALLY CRUSHED IT. THE PERFECT MIX OF CANDID AND CLASSIC SHOTS. WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO HAVE THESE PICTURES TO RELIVE THE MEMORIES OF THAT SPECIAL DAY FOREVER. ON A PERSONAL NOTE: AARON AND JILLIAN, THANK YOU TWO! WE KNOW YOU SEE LOTS OF CLIENTS, BUT YOU MADE US FEEL SO SPECIAL. FROM THE SMALL MOMENTS LIKE CHATTING WITH JILL BEFORE THE PICTURES OF ME GETTING INTO MY DRESS WITH MY MOM/AUNT, TO THE PICTURES ALL ACROSS LOWNDES GROVE PLANTATION AND DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON - WE LOVED HAVING YOU TWO BE THE ONES TO CAPTURE OUR LOVE IN HUNDREDS OF SMALL SNAPSHOTS. AND SEEING YOU TWO TOGETHER ENFORCES OUR BELIEF IN TRUE LOVE! YOU WORK SO BEAUTIFULLY WELL TOGETHER - BETWEEN THE SMALL GESTURES: “LOVE THAT SHOT” OR “GREAT CATCH”, TO THE JUST GENERAL AMOUNT OF RESPECT YOU HAVE FOR EACH OTHER - SO SPECIAL AND COOL TO SEE (ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT JASON AND I WORKED TOGETHER FOR 6 YEARS!) TO ANYONE LOOKING TO BOOK AARON AND JILLIAN: PLEASE DON’T HESITATE. YOU ARE IN THE MOST LOVING, TRUSTED HANDS. THEY WILL MAKE YOU LOOK AND FEEL BEAUTIFUL AND ON TOP OF THE WORLD ON YOUR BIG DAY!"
- LACEY + JARED
"THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE WOULD BE: IF AARON & JILLIAN AREN'T AVAILABLE ON YOUR WEDDING DATE.. CHANGE YOUR WEDDING DATE! A&J WERE THE FIRST PEOPLE I REACHED OUT TO WHEN I GOT ENGAGED, AND I KNEW THEY JUST HAD TO BE MY PHOTOGRAPHERS! FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF EXCHANGING EMAILS BACK AND FORTH- WE MADE SOME CRAZY CONNECTIONS THAT JUST SEALED THE DEAL AND MADE ME FEEL LIKE WE HAD BEEN FRIENDS FOR YEARS! WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM DURING OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION, AND WE HAD THE BEST TIME! WE FELT LIKE WE WERE JUST HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS- THEY KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOU FEEL SO COMFORTABLE (SINCE TAKING/POSING FOR PICTURES CAN DEFINITELY BE A LITTLE AWKWARD!) AND THE WAY THEY INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER IS JUST AMAZING! WE LEFT THAT SHOOT SO HAPPY TO HAVE GOTTEN TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM, AND SO EXCITED FOR OUR WEDDING DAY! THEY WERE NOTHING SHORT OF A DREAM ON OUR BIG DAY, THEY WERE RELAXED, PROFESSIONAL, AND SO MUCH FUN- WE WERE HONORED TO HAVE THEM BY OUR SIDE! WHEN THEY DELIVERED OUR PHOTO'S TO US, WE WERE IN COMPLETE SHOCK (AND STILL ARE!)- WHILE SCROLLING THROUGH THEM IT WAS CRAZY TO SEE THAT THEY JUST KEPT GETTING BETTER AND BETTER! THE COMPLIMENTS FROM FAMILY & FRIENDS ON HOW MUCH THEY LOVED BEING AROUND A&J AND WERE STUNNED BY THE BEAUTY OF THE PHOTOS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF! I COULD GO ON AND ON- BUT TO SUM IT UP: AARON & JILLIAN WILL MAKE ALL OF YOUR WEDDING PHOTO DREAMS COME TRUE!"

"I can’t even hardly begin to put into words how much everyone NEEDS Aaron and Jillian in their lives when going through the photography portion of the wedding process. I was so nervous about the photography aspect and so was my husband. I can tell you, we never once felt uncomfortable or awkward like we thought we would because of these two. From the start they are so welcoming and caring about what they are there to do! Our wedding day would not have been as perfect as it was without these two. Not to mention how ABSOLUTELY breath taking there photographs are! If you are looking for imagines that look like they came straight out of a magazine, this is your duo. Don’t even second guess, just book them now !!!"
- Laura Brooke + Ryan
"Aaron and jillian are the Best Decision You Can Make for your wedding! I can’t rave about Aaron and Jillian enough! We loved them so much during our engagement shoot that we did another! They are amazing photographers and so much fun to be around! The entire wedding day we were so at ease with them and so many people came up to us at the wedding to tell us how much they loved our photographers! Hiring Aaron and Jillian to document such special moments in our lives was hands down one of the best decisions we made. Trust me, you need them!!"
"Aaron and Jillian are an incredible duo! We Recently had our engagement session with them and we are so incredibly happy with how our pictures turned out! WE LOVE THEM!! They worked together so seamlessly and made us feel comfortable and excited for this period in our lives. Throughout the session they asked us questions about ourselves and were genuinely interested in our story. Bonus is that they are incredibly organized, efficient, and informative. We can't wait to work with them again on our wedding day!"
- KAthryn + Austin
"If you are reading this review, please stop and go and BOOK THEM IMMEDIATELY! Seriously, if you are a bride, groom, or parent and worried about how you are going to capture your wedding day, look no further - Aaron and Jillian will do just that! It poured, I mean poured lol, on our wedding day (our entire wedding was outside due to COVID) and while I knew we would get photos, I still had a little voice that was slightly nervous the weather did not cooperate enough for all the portraits. Aaron and Jillian delivered our album and I cried at how perfect every single photo was and how they captured EVERY PHOTO I could have wanted. All of our guests said they could not believe how you couldn't even tell that it rained on our wedding day. They are not only the most down-to-earth couple, but they are true professionals. The two of them take the time to get to know you as a couple and they capture every single moment of the wedding day. My mother was so upset she could not have a cookie table and she had to put her homemade cookies into a box instead as a favor. Aaron and Jillian took the time to take every single cookie out of the box and take a photo of them, without us even asking. I cannot perfectly articulate how amazing they are as wedding photographers. They even defended my wedding dress from muddy sheep - not even kidding. Trust me, you would regret not hiring them because your wedding photos are a lifetime memory and we are so thankful our photos were with Aaron and Jillian. Now to just figure out how we can hire them again!"
- Emily + Jeff
“From the moment we got engaged, we knew we had to book Aaron & Jillian Photography! And let me tell you, I’m 1000% grateful we did!! Their work is stunning to say the least and the photos have such a beautiful, light, and timeless vibe! Plus, they are truly the kindest and incredibly professional people, and are an absolute joy to work with! From the moment we started our engagement shoot, they helped my fiancé and I feel so
comfortable, even though taking photos really isn’t our thing or something we do often. But with Aaron & Jillian, the whole experience was so effortless and so special! They even allowed us to include our fur-baby and were such champs, working with our energetic pup! It was definitely a day we will forever treasure, and now after receiving the photos, we are sincerely blown away by their talent and our exquisite photos we received! We cannot wait to work with them again for our wedding in September 2023!!
We cannot recommend enough booking
Aaron & Jillian Photography!”

"I CAN'T WITHHOLD MY EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!! I AM SO OBSESSED AND SO VERY HAPPY WITH THESE PICTURES!!!!!!!! YOU NEED AARON AND JILLIAN!!!!!! Not only are they the BEST people, but they are also AMAZING, JAW-DROPPING photographers. They honestly may be angels on earth. They were the very first vendor we booked (15 months out from our wedding because they are a Charleston favorite, clearly for a good reason!), and the moment we spoke to them on the phone -- we were so excited to meet them and have them be a part of our special day.
Aaron and Jillian took our engagement photos less than two weeks ago, and the images are ALREADY DONE! SO FAST! We spent two hours with them and had THE BEST TIME with them! They are absolutely wonderful and genuine people. Ok - now let's get to the photos...I cried, and am still crying as I write this review. They are more beautiful than I could have imagined. They really captured my, and my fiancés love for each other perfectly. I can see our personality in each photo, which means the world to us. It shows they care. I made a rash decision to get bangs a week before our picture ( trust me, I know...call it wedding stress, lmao). Jillian made sure to fix any stray bangs before taking pictures...she didn't have to do that, but she did! She even had hairspray and bobby pins at the ready. I honestly can't get over how beautiful our pictures came out. I could go on and on and on about Aaron and Jillian. You won't regret having them there for your special day -- and if they aren't available for your date, consider moving your wedding date to align with their schedule - that's how AMAZING THEY ARE!!! I am so excited for our October wedding knowing we are in the best hands!!!"
- Rachel + Ryan
"WOW WOW WOW you guys!!! We are just totally SPEECHLESS. We can’t even put into words how much we LOVE THESE!!! And how much they mean to us - we have literally spent the last 24 hours looking at them and reliving the ENTIRE DAY over and over and you have allowed us to do that in the most BEAUTIFUL way! We are so so so SO grateful to you guys for allowing us to treasure every ounce of the best day of our lives - you covered every single inch of it and we felt ALL the feels going through each one and the warmth that radiates out of them too… just WOW! You did an EPIC job at capturing the most special moments, and the emotions within those moments! We keep saying how much we would just LOVE to experience it all over again and you’ve given us the GIFT of being able to do that forever - just THANK YOU truly from the bottom of our hearts! "
- Emma & Dan
"OH MY GOD...
literally SPEECHLESS. these are absolutely amazinggggg I have no words. Wow wow wowowowowow. Thank y'all sooo much. Seriously you guys are so beyond talented!!!! Thank you so much for capturing such breathtaking pictures! These make us even more excited for the wedding and we are so glad y'all will be our photographers"
– alyse + jacob
"Aaron and Jillian are absolutely amazing!!!! From our initial contract over a year before our wedding they were beyond excited to be apart of our big day and made us feel so special. When reviewing photographers in the Charleston area, I knew I needed them as soon as I saw their work! They not only create the cutest photo memories for you, but they're the kindest people you could ever hope to meet and the cutest couple! We had our engagement photo session with them and had so much fun, we knew our wedding day would be no different! My entire bridal party and family LOVED them. I could not stop smiling and they captured every detail and moment I could want between my new hubby and I! They made our wedding dreams come true!!!!"
- Hayley + Collin
"OMG!!!! I AM OBSESSED!!!!!! Our engagement photos are simply amazing and stunning and they made us look like rockstars!!! DJ's exact words were "WOW! I'm blown away! I really love them" which is HUGE coming from him!!! Aaron and Jillian are simply AMAZING! They were such a joy to work with and really made the process so easy and stress-free. Jill was so sweet to listen to all of my photo ideas and wardrobe questions since this was for our engagement photo session, and she was very prompt, both through email communication and on the day of our session. They made my fiancé and I feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera and it really shows in all of our photos!"
- Addison + DJ
"Words cannot describe the incredible experience we had working with Aaron and Jillian. My S.O. and I are not good in front of the camera but they take ALL of that stress away because they are SOOO good at what they do. They are insanely fast with communication, FUN, patient, understanding, and create the MOST BEAUTIFUL IMAGES YOU WILL EVER SEE! They had never photographed on Seabrook Island where we wanted our engagement photos but they were totally down for it and killed the photos!! They were so patient with all of our animals which really was the cherry on top of it all. My house is going to be full of photos because I have SO MANY FAVORITES NOW!! I could go on and on about the amazing people they are both professional and personally, but BOOK THEM WHILE YOU STILL CAN, YOU WILL NOT RERET IT!!!"
- Heather + Chuck
"Aaron and Jillian took our engagement and wedding pictures. They are truly talented and incredible at what they do. My husband and I tend to shy away from being the center of attention and wouldn't consider ourselves 'naturals' in front of the camera. Both times, Aaron and Jillian put us at complete ease, to the point we almost forgot they were snapping away. They are complete professionals. We had an army of a bridal party, a dog in our ceremony and some serious rain and they handled everything with ease. They bring such a positive energy to every situation. Plus they're organized and keep everyone on schedule, but with the kindest demeanor. The pictures they took are unreal. You would've thought there were ten photographers because they capture every moment so perfectly from all angles. We are thrilled that we'll have these memories documented, to share and reflect on for a lifetime. From helping me get dirt off the train of my dress, to intricately photoshopping the guests out the background of our bridal party images (we had to move to Plan B and take pics under the Lowndes Grove tent due to the rain) -- they truly go above and beyond for their clients. Aside from being amazing photographers, they are also two of the most genuine people you'll meet. We are forever grateful they were a part of our special journey and would highly recommend them to anyone"
- Megan + Matt
"New Yorker approved! Want to know why we highly recommend this amazing husband/wife team? I really loved working with Aaron and Jill and I would recommend them to everyone. Why? First, they are such a cool, fun couple and they make the awkward picture taking process really comfortable and easy. They are great at communicating and organized (think super clear emails with all the key things you need to know or would ask, and working with you to create a list of key shots/family portraits, etc.) Finally, they take beautiful pictures and are just awesome to work with! For me, it was very important that I enjoy each part of my wedding and not miss my entire cocktail hour taking family portraits. Jill and Aaron helped me and my planner work out a plan for family logistics to take our family photos super efficiently making sure that my husband and I got to make it to our cocktail hour – and we did! If you happen to have the opportunity to work with them you absolutely should because you will not regret it and your pictures will be stunning. Thanks so much Aaron and Jill!"
- Lindsey + Jose
"Where do I even begin...there are no words to describe how INCREDIBLE Aaron and Jillian are! They are such a joy to be around and work with throughout the process, and make the wedding day stress-free and fun! All of our guests were raving about how amazing our photographers were, and they deserve all the credit! They released a sneak peek after our wedding, and I was crying happy tears as I looked through them. They are so energetic, organized, professional, and the photos are simply stunning and capture the true essence of the day! I was blown away! Hiring A&J as our photographers was the best (and easiest) decision we ever made! Thank you both so much for capturing photos that we will cherish for a lifetime! <3"
- Blake + Charles
"Aaron and Jillian are all around amazing! We were planning our Charleston wedding from Atlanta so we did a lot of research on different photographers. Immediately after looking through their portfolio, blog and social media, we knew they were EXTREMELY talented! Not only were they extremely talented, they were so organized and professional throughout the entire process... Always so quick to respond to any questions, concerns, suggestions, and were always honest in their responses! We were able to fit in our engagement session at Middleton Place a month before our wedding and that turned out to be one of the best days! They truly helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and we were able to be ourselves, laughing the whole time. It honestly felt like a bunch of friends just hanging out in an incredibly beautiful place! The pictures turned out phenomenally and they were able to truly capture who we are as a couple! Even though we knew that the wedding day would be just as fun, they still were able to exceed our expectations BY FAR! With organizational skills that, went above and beyond, they kept everything running smoothly and on-time so we were able to enjoy every aspect of our special day! We just got our wedding photos back and are completely blown away by them. They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Looking through our photos, we can easily relive our perfect day because they were able to capture so many special moments. It will be near impossible to pick favorites because we LOVE them all! Not a question in my mind, picking Aaron and Jillian as our wedding photographers was the best decision we made!"
- Lyndsey + Nick
Aaron and jillian are the best decision you can makE! we can’t rave about Aaron and Jillian enough! We loved them so much during our engagement shoot that we did a second engagement shoot with our new puppy! They are amazing photographers and so much fun to be around! The entire wedding day we were so at ease with them and so many people came up to us at the wedding to tell us how much they loved our photographers! Hiring Aaron and Jillian to document such special moments in our lives was hands down one of the best decisions we made. Trust me, you need them!!
- Elizabeth + Will
"If you’re looking at reviews, I’m sure you’ve seen it before but Aaron and Jill are the best. They were able to make everyone so relaxed on such a long day. During our family photos, Jill somehow captured the only photos we have of both my husband and I’s grandparents smiling! That is a gift you can’t put a price on that our whole families will be forever grateful for. I’m not a girl who does her hair and makeup most days but Jill took care to remind me to throw on some lipstick and fluff my hair “just right” to make my photos better than I could have ever dreamed. Lastly, they don’t often post “Dance Floor” photos so I was a little concerned that once the lights went down our A+J quality photos might be done for the day, but I can promise you that is not the case! One in particular is of me, my bridesmaids, and our dads... I remember thinking after we lined up and they snapped the shot that we should’ve gone off the completely dark dance floor to where there was more light. I have no clue how they did it, but the pic is awesome and one we will cherish! The other “dark” picture they got for me was of the full moon we had! They were so careful to fulfill every request we had. This is a day we will reminisce on forever, and I’m so grateful for the photos to remember it by. "
- Jenna + Chad
"S-T-E-L-L-A-R and every other synonym sums up Aaron and Jillian ("A&J"). A&J are a true dream team! Our wedding photos are amazing! I wanted romantic, light shots and A&J over delivered. They made us very comfortable (most friendly couple ever) and gave terrific direction (made us look like we had been modeling as a couple for years). They knew all the good spots at our venue. I provided a list of special shots to A&J and they captured every single one perfectly as well as a few extra special ones that were not planned. They provided all of our photos three weeks after our wedding (give or take). I went over my budget to lock in A&J to shoot our wedding. They are worth thousands of dollar more than we paid them to shoot our wedding (seriously). Our dog was in our wedding. A&J are great at shooting dogs and rolling with whatever the dog does (and making it look great in pictures). Quality: Exceptional - Most perfect photos Responsiveness: Almost Immediately Professionalism: They have it! Value: Would have paid more Flexibility: Yes! Our wedding was cold and windy but A&J were decked out in their winter gear and made our photos look like our wedding was on a 70 degree day Please go to my Facebook Page at Kimberly Ann Schneider (Stapleton) to view my Wedding Album (10.29.17 at Magnolia Plantation). It's public. I highly recommend A&J!!!!!!"
- Kimberly + Alex
"We were so lucky to have Aaron and Jillian as our photographers for our September wedding and our engagement session in March! Their ability to put their subjects at ease is invaluable. First, they made us forget about our nerves and our engagement session turned out to be enjoyable! We were elated when we saw our photos a short time later and there was no evidence of our normally "awkward in photos" selves! Then, on our wedding day, we became even more aware we hit the wedding photographer jackpot! They were at the house where the bridesmaids were getting ready bright and early. They were organized and calm and their attitudes helped make everyone less nervous. They helped keep us on schedule, had light hearted conversations that made everyone laugh and got photos of all of the moments I requested simultaneously. Then they REALLY worked their magic at the ceremony and reception. They are so comfortable with each other and the way they joke and interact with their subjects and each other makes the smiles in their photos look VERY natural and because they ARE natural! There are a good number of our family members who make it difficult to take their photos. Without naming names, a certain family member of ours who is known for being a huge pain in photos, told me on three different occasions how great our photographers were and, I'm quoting, "the fact that Jillian isn't bad to look at helps, too." It is true that she is very pretty, but I think it's her jovial attitude and infectious smile that won over our most difficult family members. The reason, I'm focusing on Jillian is because she took a majority of the posed family photos. I'm not actually positive which photos were taken by Aaron and which by Jillian because they are both super talented and all of the photos are equally exceptional! I think Jillian told me that day that Aaron was taking the detailed shots of the venue, which were also gorgeous! I've tried to take photos of decor details without a human subject and those are often just as difficult as getting a photo of one of my cranky family members! It's not like other photographers I've seen that have an assistant with them that you aren't sure if their work will be as good as the main photographer. You get two "main photographers," both of whom are great at what they do! Also, I have to mention, Aaron and Jillian send out a questionnaire before the wedding asking for specific photos that are "must haves." After my sister's wedding photographer got about 4 photos of my mom and 2 of me, my mom and I REALLY appreciated this thoughtful questionnaire! Then on the day, they had a copy of our answers and they checked off each photo as they got it! So they definitely got every possible combination of family members we had requested plus they got so many other photos that we hadn't even thought to request. Long story short, if you want two extra guests that make your wedding more fun for everyone and they happen to be the all around best photographers - book Aaron and Jillian! You might want to check their availability before you set your date and then choose based on the days they have- they are that good! Your wedding photos are so important and you can trust Aaron and Jillian to deliver everything you imagined and so much more!"
- Genevieve + Pat
"Aaron and Jill photographed our engagement session (Charleston) and destination wedding (Santorini, Greece). I have put off posting this review because I can't even begin to articulate how amazing these two are!!! My husband is all for camera posing - I on the other hand am not yet they managed to make me feel comfortable and captured the most beautiful pictures I have EVER seen!!! They are so sweet and fun that it truly didn't feel like a photo shoot. Our pictures could not have turned out any better! We had over 700 pictures from pur wedding alone and LOVED every single one! We would choose them again and again! Easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!"
- Alexandra + Brian
"There almost aren't any words to describe how much we love Aaron and Jill! To me, one of the MOST important parts of planning was the photographer. I truly shopped around for over a year before we found Aaron and Jillian and instantly fell in love with their photographs! They somehow captured every single moment of the day and every time we look at our photos, we are lucky enough to relive our perfect day. Not only was every single photo stunning, but we got them SO QUICK which was so so SO wonderful! And, the cherry on top, they are a BLAST to be around! I felt so comfortable around them both-like we had been friends for years but we had only met for the first time on our wedding day! I truly can't put into words what an incredible experience we had with them from start to finish--choose Aaron and Jillian! It will be the one of the best decisions you make!"
- Celia + Spencer
"Hiring Aaron and Jillian may have been one of the easiest decisions I made while planning my wedding. From the second I saw their website, I knew their aesthetic direction was what I wanted. Hands down, they are the best. Not only do they feel like friends during your engagement shoot and wedding day, they manage to capture everything absolutely perfectly. From the tiny details that you worked so hard to plan to the candid family pictures, all are wonderful. Simply put, they have a gift. So do yourself a huge favor and hire them!! The photographs from your wedding will be for a lifetime, so you deserve to have the BEST!"
- Abigail + Will
"I can tell you that without a doubt, booking Aaron & Jillian was THE BEST DECISION OF OUR WEDDING (and the second best was having a planner! Seriously) I'm straining to keep this as short as possible but I have so many incredible things to say! From the beginning, Aaron and Jillian were responsive, sweet & EXCITED for us! I sent Jill my dress and she got me all excited and teary eyed all over again over it. Her excitement was contagious! When they showed up morning of I had forgotten everything they asked of me. whoops! They laughed, smiled and carried on. They had a schedule, a mission, an idea of what they wanted how they wanted it and kindly, politely, and sweetly managed the entire day to absolute perfection. They ask for photos you want, or inspiration you have and remember to take these while you're all caught up in the madness, the one photo I asked for turned out to be one of my favorites! Their love respect and admiration for each other, their excitement over the photos, the light, your dress, your smiles, your love, their response to every shot they take, they made our wedding and made our photos. We still get compliments on how sweet they were, how kind they were, and how the seemed like family from the get go. We (INSANELY QUICKLY) just received the final photos yesterday, when I say they are perfection, THEY ARE PERFECTION. I have sent them to EVERYONE & EVERYONE is freaking out over the perfection. The photos exemplify us. They portray every emotion, every tear, every laugh, every smile. If I had to change everything about my wedding but one aspect, the one I wouldn't change would be booking Aaron & Jillian."
- Stephanie + Jared
"I don’t even know where to start other than saying that hiring Aaron and Jillian Photography was THE BEST decision we made for our entire wedding. They were INCREDIBLE from start to finish in every way, and I would hire them again and again in a heartbeat. I didn’t even know what questions to ask before hiring photographers, but Jill takes the time to talk through their process, style, and ask about what we are looking for (which I wasn’t even able to articulate well but somehow they got it spot on anyway!). She kept in touch throughout, even though we hired them a year and a half before the wedding, and made sure to touch base in depth a few weeks before the event to ensure they captured any particular moments we wanted. They have such an artistic eye, were so creative and were always in the right place at the right time to capture the most incredible candid photos of us and our guests as well as more posed photos (which never looked fake!) and beautiful scenery shots of the venue and of décor. They were also so friendly, warm and likable that at one point I thanked them for coming because I had forgotten that weren’t there as my friend/guest! They made us feel so comfortable even though we were terrified of being in front of the camera, and were such fun to be around. They were also a calming presence throughout a hectic day which was much appreciated, were never intrusive even during more delicate moments (eg the ceremony), and were extremely professional at all times. We have received non-stop compliments from guests and even people who weren’t there about how amazing our photographers were. My sister already reported that she would want to hire them for her wedding because they did such a mind-blowing job for ours -- Aaron and Jill, we’ll see you in a few years at the very least (but hopefully much sooner)! We love you guys!"
- Jessalyn + Jeff
"Aaron and Jillian are INCREDIBLE!! I don't know if I have enough characters to write everything I want to say about them! Initially, when we started to look at photographers, I fell in love with their photography style and everyone's reviews of them were GLOWING. They were definitely a little over what we had initially budgeted for our photographers, but I could not be more THRILLED that we decided to splurge on them! They are a HUGE part of what made our day so incredible and I can't imagine it without them! We hired them about a year and a half before our wedding when we first got engaged and we fell in love the moment we contacted them to chat with them about the options and their style! Once we decided that we couldn't possibly go with any other photographers, we chatted back and forth via email with them about our story. Shortly after we chatted with them via email, they invited us to THEIR HOME for dinner so they could get to know us a little better as a couple! I haven't heard of any vendors ever doing this, and it was amazing. We went to their ADORABLE perfect home and Aaron made us drinks and they told us all of their amazing travel stories and introduced us to their adorable pups. They were so sweet and so welcoming and genuine, we left saying to each other, "we definitely picked right!" Not only are they extremely talented, they are just the sweetest and the cutest couple! They work so well together and clearly LOVE what they do! They stayed in close touch with us all along, and as our day was approaching, they sent us questionnaires so everything would be exactly as we hoped! The day came and Jillian came into the room where I was getting my hair and makeup done, told me how gorgeous I looked and gave me a huge hug. They were SUCH an important part of our day beyond just photographing our special day! They are both so easy to work with and be comfortable in front of, are adorable and work so hard to get just the right angles and lighting for every photograph. They made being photographed SO comfortable, and continuously made us feel like the most amazing and beautiful people in the world. My groom and I both commented to each other so many times, "they've done SO many incredible weddings and yet they're making us feel like every picture is the most amazing one they've ever taken and everything we do is the most beautiful and adorable thing ever!" They truly made us feel like our wedding was the most beautiful one they've ever photographed, and we know they've photographed at least hundreds of gorgeous Charleston weddings. They seemed so genuinely excited about everything and clearly LOVE what they do. I can't say enough incredible things about them, and could go on and on. They are worth the money and so much more, I literally couldn't imagine our day without them. Guests commented on how incredible our photographers were without even seeing the final products yet! Amazing, amazing, amazing! Book them now! "

"My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon and writing this review was one of the first to-dos on my list! As I’m sure many Brides will agree, your wedding day flies by in what feels like a blink of an eye, but my husband and I feel so lucky that we’re able to re-live the day through the breathtaking photographs Aaron and Jill captured. This dynamic duo is truly the very best in the business. They have an incredible eye for beautiful backdrops, romantic lighting and sweet candid moments. They also have such a kind and playful demeanor that made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and instantly won over our wedding party and guests. I can’t tell you how many compliments we received on our photographers, which is no surprise once you’ve seen these two in action! They are awe-inspiring to watch - bounding through the heat, patiently handling all of the family logistics and weaving through the dance floor to ensure every special detail was captured. They also provided my husband and I such important moments of calm and togetherness amidst the chaos - I'll forever treasure the memory of us dancing and giggling while posing for our portraits. It just doesn’t get any better than Aaron and Jill. Their talent is second to none and they’re just so fun and lovely to be around! We count our lucky stars to have found such a spectacular team to capture our big day. We adore you, Aaron and Jill!!!"

"OH. MY GOD. OHHHHH MY GOODNESS.......SPEECHLESS...... If that's how you want to feel when you gaze at your wedding photos for the first time, then stop looking anywhere else. You found them. There's no other choice other than Aaron + Jillian, whether you're getting married in Charleston or not. My husband and I got home late last night from living out our honeymoon dream and I knew the photo link was waiting for us. We ended up not getting home until after midnight, just long enough to do a load of laundry, sleep, and get my husband back to the airport the next morning for a work flight. Needless to say, reality slapped us hard in the face today. And after missing my husband all day, I finally had a chance to go through the link. I just laughed out load, cried, smiled the whole way through, and felt like I was right back in the moment...and it made missing my husband a little bit easier. I really don't know what to say. Each photo is stunningly beautiful on it's own. So much happiness was captured. Aaron and Jill's hearts, creative minds, and spirits of full intention is so easily recognized when looking through each photo. It's a rare gift they each have separately, but also as a pair. You can feel their love behind every photos, every line of communication, and every moment we spent with them. AHHH!! I'm so happy. No, happy doesn't do it. Thrilled, ecstatic, in love, and full of joy. Thank you to Aaron + Jillian for playing such a HUGE role in our day. We will never forget our experience with you. Or the photos. It will be so DIFFICULT to choose which to hang...because of course putting 60 photos of your wedding up in your house....probably....isn't to normal. But I WOULD because they are sooo good! :) If you're looking for a photography partner to help create the most unique, personal, and beautiful experience...by capturing your big day, then seriously consider these two love birds. Their joy will bring you joy. XOXO All our love"
