The best company. Maisoun Elias left a LEGACY at Aava and worked for over 20 years to do so. Great photography company!

Craig was amazing! Our wedding photos are beautiful, Craig was so flexible and willing to do anything to make sure that we got the pictures that we wanted. Craig also shot our engagement pictures which was great because then we were able to make sure that we were comfortable with him and we were able to go over what we were looking for on the big day.



The only negative is the office staff at Aava, we originally ran into trouble with not having a photographer for our engagement shoot, and they had a hard time with what exactly was included with our package. Aava did make sure that everything was worked out, they just seem somewhat disorganized at times.

There's nothing that we can say that is negative.They were wonderful! He was so accommodating throughout the whole day. We told told the photographer tha he could leave early and he stayed all the way through the night. Our pictures were exceptional. AAVA was amazing through the whole planning and post stages of the wedding. We have already recommended you to our friends!

Chris - our photographer was great. We got a cd of all the pictures of our wedding and had almost 1700 pictures. We had such a hard time selecting only 100 pictures for our album. The price was unbeatable...we got a cd of our negatives, photo album, 2 parent albums, engagement session, 11x14, and negatives from the engagement session for $2500. I would recommend AAVA to any bride!

Wow...I was surprised to see the bad review by a bridesmaid. I guess it must have been an off-day. My son-in-law and daughter researched many Photo Studios and were impressed with the people at AAVA. They e-mailed, called and went to the Studio and they thought that everything was always handled with joy and professionalism.. The photographer took 8 hours of photos and was easy to work with and the pictures are great! We all have photo books, pictures and CD's of all of the pictures taken. I am an artist and I found the photos to be very balanced, beautiful and artistic. I have many friends who had wedding photographers and they paid alot of money and have very little to show for it. We are all very delighted with AAVA.

My new husband and I did a lot...

My new husband and I did a lot of research before choosing Aava for our photo and video, and we are soooo satisfied with our decision. The packages and pricing are extremely competitive, the staff is extremely professional, and the customer service is unmatched!



First, the pricing is unbeatable. We were blown away with how much Aava's packages for photo and video included. Unlike other companies we researched, we were able to find a package that included the 8 hours we wanted covered, plus parent albums, a coffee table album for us, engagement session, and more for an EXTREMELY reasonable price. After the wonderful experience, I feel extremely lucky to have found such an awesome deal during a very expensive time in our lives!

We are ecstatic because we just got our digital copies of our wedding photos from our, wedding in October....we have over 2000 beautiful, professional photos that we can print at any place we want, or purchase large prints at great prices from Aava. Our photographer, Chris, and his assistant, Olga were amazing. We have traditional, modern, artsy, and fun, candid photos. We literally have every single type of photo a bride could imagine. Also, I was extremely worried we would miss outdoor photos because we got married on a Friday in October, and could only take pictures outside between 6:30-7:30pm. Our peers were telling us we wouldn’t get any good shots because it was going to be dark, but we had tons of faith in Chris and our outdoor photos are amazing! We are sooo happy with the quality of our photos.



Finally, the customer service is unbeatable. Mae, Kiley, Travis and our photographers have all been very helpful. They made us feel comfortable and confident with our decisions and also with their service. We put a lot of things off, but Mae and Kiley were on top of everything and were very understanding. Chris, our photographer, put me at ease when I was worrying about the schedule for the big day. The caring, understanding environment at Aava was what really made the company stand out. Though many other companies bombarded my cell phone and email box, and probably would have throughout the entire engagement if I had chosen them, Aava didn’t, nor did they need to, do that. They handled everything with ease, confidence, and understanding. I would recommend Aava to anyone!



Thank you!

I personally did not use aava but 2 of my friends used them and I didn't care for the pictures for either of their weddings. They were all standard shots with no "magical" imaging. I think when paying for a photographer, they should have a bit of a personality and fun with the bridal party. The one photographer was awesome but the other jsut stood there and didn't talk. No suggestions of poses or anything.



The main complaint I have is that my digital camera pictures came out better than theirs did. I shouldn't have had to take my own pics being that I was a maid of honor, but at the second wedding I had a feeling the pics would be nothing special like from the first wedding and boy was I right. I am so happy I brought my own camera and had the groomsmen take pics of me and my girls with my camera!

Awful!!

PLEASE choose another photographer. AAVA is rude, amateurish and very unprofessional. AAVA does not know what wedding pictures are supposed to look like in 2010. Office staff is horrible and very slick. Prices for everything else are ridiculous.....$5 for a print. You definitely get what you pay for with AAVA. There are so many other better photographers out there, please choose one of them. You may pay more for a better photographer but it is definitely worth it not to have to deal with AAVA. They force you to submit a schedule for the day of, and say if you don't have it right they will not show up.



I'm begging you please chose someone else!
