Aaron Haslinger Photography

en and their children, investing in the right photographer was a big deal for us. We also knew that Aaron was going to witness one of the most emotional and intimate days of our lives and we wanted to make sure that the person who was going to be in our face with a camera would be fun, flexible, and just an all-around good person. Aaron exceeded our expectations at every turn. He picked up on moments of our wedding that were perceptibly minute, but really told the story of our day. Not to mention, the quality of our pictures are outstanding. He's assertive enough to organize a large group of people and friendly enough to get even our shyest nephew to smile. From our first meeting with him to the excitement of getting our little engraved wooden box that our USB of pictures came in, Aaron has taken care of every detail with professionalism and thoughtfulness. We felt confident that we were working with a kind, genuine person, who wasn't going to rip us off or disappear after the wedding day never to be heard from again. His prices are more than fair, and he has been incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. The best part is that he releases all of his rights to the pictures so we can get them printed wherever we choose, which has saved us a few bucks. We cannot recommend Aaron enough. Thanks, Aaron, for everything!

ctly what I wanted. During the wedding day, he was able to capture all of the special moments but was not in the way at all! I hardly knew he was there and was very pleased with the shots he was able to get. He was very attentive to our schedule and was very efficient with getting the perfect amount of portraits done. Overall, I would 100% recommend Aaron Haslinger Photography!

king forward to seeing our wedding album. Having the rights to the digital negatives is so nice for our family members!

st importantly, the photos were beautiful. We received over 1,000 high-resolution images and even had some nice artistic shots as well as random shots of flowers and scenery from around the venue. He was very patient with us as we herded our family for photos, after the ceremony. He kept us updated throughout our special day with when to be ready for this and that. We could not be happier with our experience with Aaron. I would highly recommend him for your special day, too.

ty of beautiful, creative wedding photos. I love the candid shots he was able to capture, those are my absolute favorite! He was also able to get us our pictures back one month after the wedding which was very impressive for us. He arrived early and was ready to go. His prices are competitive and totally worth every penny we paid. Thank you so much Aaron!!

and capturing all the fun little moments. Aaron the absolute best :)

s, insistent upon knowing the event details and calming for any bride's nerves. He was always present, within arms length and yet, kept a distance for greetings and hugs, dancing and such. He has an eye for the traditional shots and yet, funky for that one in a million photo. He dodged hovering guest requests and created private moments for the bride and groom. He mingled silently to get the basic reminders of the food, the venue, the cake and the signature drink. Thanks Aaron, blending an Italian and Southern family was a challenge and you nailed it!

up to our wedding, and of course, on the big day. Aaron took care to meet with us beforehand, and to ensure that he knew the vision we were hoping to achieve for our special day, as well as some "must have" photos that we wanted. On the day of, the schedule was a bit chaotic, and Aaron handled the situation with grace and patience. Our whole family felt completely comfortable with him, and you can tell in the pictures how relaxed he made us. The finished product far exceeded our expectations, and we will cherish the images forever. We truly can't speak highly enough of Aaron, and would recommend him to any and all bride and grooms!

which was a huge relief for me. He kept in constant communication with me through out the entire process so we had nothing to worry about. He really takes the time to capture priceless moments. Stop looking! Hire him!!

de. He captured every imaginable detail of our day and has created beautiful photographic memories of the entire event that we will treasure forever. His composition, use of lighting, editing, and mix of posed and candid shots absolutely sets his work above any other wedding photos I've seen- we've have received compliment after compliment from family and friends who are in awe of our pictures. We knew our photos would be fantastic from our first meeting with Aaron, but the finished product far exceeded our expectations. We were so lucky to have Aaron with us to capture our day. He is incredibly personable, accommodating, and genuine and helped us feel so special and relaxed throughout the process. We cannot thank him enough! THANK YOU AARON :)

g the way and we received our pictures very fast. His packages are super flexible and affordable. Thank you Aaron for capturing our amazing day so beautifully!!

s the time stay in contact with you and

I was looking for and more! He has a wonderful eye for a strong compositions and lighting. He pays close attention to the smallest of details. In relationship to all the photographers I researched, we got the best quality while not sacrificing our budget. He is quick to respond to emails, phone calls and even text messages. He was friendly and relaxed, while still providing support and guidance. We even brought our dog to the engagement session and Aaron was able to make her comfortable, as well as, us. At the wedding Aaron was almost invisible photographing every moment, but when you needed him he was by your side to take the shot. If a family member or friend wanted a shoot he took them. He also worked really well with my videographer and communicated with all our other vendors to make sure he was in the perfect spot for the photo. He also had an extremely quick turn around for editing we had close to 1,700+ and he had them to us in less than 60 days. He even hand delivered the USB with our engagement photos so that we had them before the holidays. Each of our USB’s came in a beautifully hand crafted box and our wedding photos came with some mounted prints which was icing on top of the cake. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Aaron to any couple!

From our initial contact, Aaron was always thorough, responsive, and flexible. On the wedding day, Aaron got all the pictures we had requested (I swear, he must have used magic to get some of those shots in such quick succession), and kept on schedule the whole night. I knew the pictures were going to be great, so waiting to see them for the 2 months after the wedding date was probably the most painful part of the experience. In reality though, 2 months is a really good turnaround time during wedding season, and when we received our digital negatives in the mail, it was the most beautiful presentation we had ever seen - the pictures themselves were even better! We can't wait to work with Aaron to finish our wedding album, which is part of his standard full wedding package, and something that most other photographers won't include in the base rate. Thank you, Aaron, for everything!

for Aaron and his team. Aaron went above and beyond to send us our proofs before the holidays - and we had a NOVEMBER wedding!! Our photos are simply gorgeous and we are thrilled to recommend Aaron Haslinger Photography to brides and grooms in the Baltimore area!

few hundred bucks plus a trip through the buffet line. But we were uncomf with the idea that all those pictures would be handled by an amateur. Ok ok NBD, but WHO do we use? Aaron was recommended to us by a colleague of his and neighbor of ours (same guy). He (the neighbor) is a professional photog but insisted he did NOT do weddings. He only had two recommendations he trusted, and Aaron was one of them. The usual ensued; check out the sites, look at sample photos, google the name, etc. If you're reading this far I know you've done this for someone already. You are trying to figure out how the heck you know this is the RIGHT person for your own big day. You don't. We didn't. No trumpets from the heavens, no magic neon sign that said Aaron was the one. If that's what you need--stop looking. A photographer isn't a spiritual experience. What we got instead was comfort. Aaron is zero pressure, and all accommodation. He had answers for all of our questions, which I am sure he has heard a plethora of times. And, somehow, he did not make us feel ignorant or foolish with asking all of them. He was patient in explaining the process and timelines. He had all of his package level details easily accessible and happily explained each one. He made sure to suggest unique photo opportunities while still using our ideas as the baseline. What we bought and received are not HIS photos of us, they are OUR photos of us. Aaron won't change your life. He will not make your in-laws seem sane or tolerable. What he WILL do is exceed your expectations. He will provide an amazing final product, and he will not ever mislead you about how long quality work takes a real pro. 1.5K pictures? Check. Digital rights? Check. Incredible keepsake box? Checky-McCheckerson. Guess what? Aaron isn't your cash-and-run type of guy. He was affable and approachable with our guests. He somehow snagged photos of seemingly every person at the reception, and we never even noticed him intruding. He asked permission before he took some time to eat (the DJ didn't even ask, he just waltzed over). He made sure we approved before we finished at each location. He checked in before he extended an extra hour of photos. In short, we never spent a dime we didn't explicitly approve, but he never made us feel like we were obligated to spend any. We were married at Camden Yards (totes recommend), but that brought a slew of restrictions on where, when and how we could set up photos at field level. Aaron communicated with the hospitality director there and had everything ready to go. One less wild card for us to figure out on our wedding day. This is a review for people considering Aaron for their event. But since I know he will see it too, thanks. You were clearly more interested in us than in our money. You made us feel like friends, not customers.

with us leading up to the wedding including multiple phone calls and emails. On the big day, the highway leading to the venue was shut down. Unfortunately he was stuck on that highway! He called and apologized profusely, but still almost made it on time. He was wonderful with my family and everyone loved him. At the end of the night, he even helped shuttle a few guests home! We got married in the peak of wedding season, but Aaron still delivered our photos in a timely matter. We are so impressed by them and are so happy we chose Aaron to capture our special day!

autiful photographs of the most memorable day of our lives! The day went by so quickly, I was so thankful to be able to look back at Aaron’s photos to relive the story of the day. He captured details—flowers, food, décor, attire, hymnals—and the “personality” of the day perfectly. Our dance floor was packed the entire reception, and Aaron captured priceless photos of so many of our guests having a great time. He was also able to capture some beautiful portraits after our wedding ceremony and at the reception site without taking too much time. My husband and I definitely wanted to enjoy the party, so we appreciated that Aaron worked quickly without sacrificing quality. I also appreciated that Aaron took the time to meet with me and my husband before our wedding to learn a little bit about us and what we were hoping for in our wedding photographs. He always promptly responded to questions and we knew we didn’t have to worry about him on the day of the wedding; he showed up on time, totally prepared, and truly used a journalistic, non-invasive approach to photographing. We are very thankful we chose Aaron as our wedding photographer and know we will cherish the photos he took for the rest of our lives! Thanks, Aaron!

sidering. I had read that it was very important to select a photographer who not only was experienced and could share examples of previous work, but who also was someone the couple would feel very comfortable spending so much of their wedding day with. From my initial meeting with Aaron, it was clear he was a true professional. He willingly shared his photography background and experience, many examples of his work, and patiently answered all of my questions. I was confident that he was someone my daughter and her fiance would be very happy to work with and they did select Aaron Haslinger Photography. They communicated with him several times to express their wishes prior to the wedding and were extremely pleased with how Aaron captured all aspects of their special day from start to finish. In order to save money, the couple had decided that they would have Aaron stay at the reception until the cake cutting was completed. When Aaron learned at the reception we had a surprise candle light send off planned for the bride and groom, he approached me and offered to stay until the end of the night, explaining what extra charges that would entail. I did authorize the extra time and was so glad we had the additional photos that captured the send off. The photos were beautiful, the couple has the rights to over 1600 digital images, and the real challenge will be to narrow down the ones to include in the high quality photo book that Aaron provides as part of his package. We would highly recommend Aaron Haslinger Photography!

anning tips for having the best day possible. We had a great experience with him at our wedding. He was timely, professional, and he didn't break the bank. My dad was a wedding photographer, so Aaron had some high standards to meet, and we were all thrilled with the quality of the photos we received. It was EXTREMELY difficult to narrow them down to our album. During the shoot, Aaron had a great balance between coaching us and letting us do our own thing. He captured the best and most memorable moments of the wedding. We love reliving that day with his amazing photos. We will definitely use him again for the next chapters of our lives!

took our breath away. He is so easy to be around, so wonderfully calm and down to earth, and will take so many candid shots and capture all the details throughout the day without your even realizing it until you see the images. We had asked him to take a portrait of us in the woods before the wedding, and he arrived to the venue early just to scout out the perfect location for us because he knew how much it would mean for us to have this image. We also did an engagement shoot prior to the wedding and had a great time! He has an amazing eye for capturing the perfect shot and suggests creative poses but is also very open to your ideas as well. We loved our engagement pictures so much. Communication with him has been easy breezy. He responds to emails promptly and takes his time answering your questions. He even worked with us to edit and send us one of our engagement shots within a week or so of taking them just so we could use it for our invitation. Most importantly, he's a great guy who will make you and your family comfortable and at ease. Highly recommend :)

gagement photos, it's always awkward having someone you haven't met before take pictures of you for the first time, but Aaron made us feel so comfortable right away. I felt like we were just walking through the park with a friend. He was super kind and so flexible. When my OCD tendencies came out, and I sent him pictures in advance of examples of the style of photos I was hoping to get, he hit everything spot on. As for the wedding, Aaron showed up early and seemed like a fly on the wall throughout the morning while we got ready. I didn't even notice him most of the time and he captured such gorgeous spontaneous shots. He made sure to capture everything we talked about in advance throughout the evening, plus a couple hundred more action shots! The entire event went so smoothly and a lot of it had to do with the trust that I had in Aaron to capture everything - one less thing to worry about on your wedding day. Aaron was incredible, and we cannot wait to show off our photos to everyone we know!

ze for the Bride and Groom. He was so easy to talk to and very understanding about our concerns or worries. He made you feel so comfortable with everything that by the day of it was like being with an old friend comfortable! He was able to captured moments that my husband and I will cherish always. He got all those moments that we were looking for.... the secret looks between Bride and Groom, The little ones in the wedding, the family photos, the nervousness of pre wedding jitters and much much more! We highly recommend him to any Bride and Groom that is planning a wedding!

I didn't even bother meeting with other photographers. And I wasn't disappointed. My wedding was in a slightly unusual location, and he did research and drove around the area visiting possible picture locations before the wedding. He wanted to make sure he found the perfect place, and we just loved the park he chose. During the pictures, he struck the perfect balance between giving us direction and letting us be natural. Then during the wedding and reception, he was present for every big moment without being intrusive. I couldn't be happier with his services on the wedding day or with the photographs he produced!

king for, as well as got a few posed classics. Aaron was attentive to us and did a good job photographing important things without being in the middle of those important things.

with his service, attention to detail and creativity that is was just an easy decision to call upon Aaron once again. This time we asked Aaron to drive to the beach and without hesitation he was more than willing to make the trip. And the wedding was on his birthday! Before the wedding my daughter expressed to Aaron her shyness when it comes to getting her picture taken. Aaron understood her request and made the entire wedding so comfortable for her. I can't thank Aaron enough for capturing this milestone with such professionalism and talent.

hire! He was early on my wedding day and the pictures were everything we wanted and more! They look like they came out of a magazine. Not only did he get the traditional shots we wanted, but candid shots we will treasure for a life time! I highly recommend him, it is my option that if you hire Aaron for your special day, you will not be disappointed!! :) I would recommend him to every bride to be!!

t on that. We couldn't be happier. Wedding planning was stressful so it was a relief to not have to stress about the photography. He was friendly, professional, helpful, affordable, showed up early to scout good locations, and his pictures came out amazing. Our first look photos came out fantastic, you wouldn't know we were on a small lawn next to a parking lot and busy street with the way the photos are captured. He captured all the small moments that you might overlook. We've gotten tons of compliments on the photos already. My productivity at work has dropped bc of the time I spend looking at the online gallery. 5/5 easily.

ighly recommend Aaron!

e-heartedly recommend his services for any type of wedding. Definitely one of the best vendors we have encountered.

f it had been sunny and warm. Also, he was willing to come to multiple locations. He brought a second photographer and they took so many photographs. I know some photographers will set a limit on the amount of photos they will take or edit and send to you, but Aaron didn't. My family and friends were excited to get to see themselves and were able to order their own keepsakes. Also, Aaron is creating a coffee table book for us that we will get to cherish forever (way cooler than old fashioned photo albums!). He also made us this beautiful commemorative DVD that has our photos on the box and a little book inside. Aaron edits ALL of his photos so they all look great! Everyone told me that photography is one of the important things from your wedding because you will always have the photos to cherish and remember from. I feel like our wedding could have been in a magazine and I'll always look back and be thankful to Aaron. Don't skimp on your photography, get someone who is really talented and treats you like an old friend! We really appreciate you Aaron, Andie and Fred XOXO

decision such a breeze. Aaron even met us at the venue a few days before the wedding because I wasn't sure where the best shots would be, what if it rained, etc. In the freezing cold, he walked the grounds with us and made us feel even more confident in choosing Aaron as our photographer. We cant wait to start picking the pictures for our album, we have SOOO many great ones to choose from. Thank you Aaron :)

veral months before, I was so excited to see the passion he had in taking quality pictures. When my wedding coordinator at my venue found out I had hired him, she was super excited and promised I had made the best selection. She was right. He is extremely professional yet down to earth and really dedicated to ensure his customer is happy. On the day of my wedding, he was only concerned about me and my husband, and capturing those special moments. The most impressive thing about Aaron, is that you don't notice him on your wedding day. You know he's around snapping away but you don't feel like he's hounding you like a paparazzi. He lets you enjoy your day. So when I saw the shots, I was surprised to see how much he captured because except for the posed shots, I don't remember ever seeing him. And the shots he took were absolutely gorgeous and unique. All my family and friends have mentioned how difficult it is to pick out their favorite pictures because there are just so many good ones! Thank you Aaron for capturing all our special memories. You are extremely talented!!! And to all you brides-to-be reading this, I truly believe you will not be disappointed!!!

rofessional, and he made the process of planning out the photography during our wedding day completely easy and stress free. The day of the wedding, Aaron and his assistant arrived right on time, and after a few quick introductions he was off taking pictures. I was nervous at first about having two photographers following us around all day, but Aaron was so great that I didn't even notice he was there. He kept everyone laughing during the more posed pictures of us, the families and the wedding party, making the whole process so easy and a lot of fun. As for the pictures themselves, we couldn't be happier. We received our DVD of the files right on schedule, and Aaron created some amazingly beautiful shots of us, and the candid moments throughout the evening are all perfect. He didn't miss any of the special moments throughout the day, and every single picture (all 1100 of them) is amazing. For the quality of the product you receive, Aaron is VERY competitively priced. We had him and his assistant for a full 8 hours, unlimited photos, unlimited locations, a DVD with all of your pictures, and now comes the hard part of picking out our favorite pictures for the Asuka wedding book that Aaron is going to design. Aaron made our wedding day run so smoothly, the product is absolutely incredibly, and he is genuinely a nice person who really cares about you and capturing the most amazing pictures. We cannot recommend him highly enough, thanks again for everything!!!

ng through his work. It was really important to us to get great photographs without breaking the bank, and we really liked the options/packages that he offers. Also, he is very flexible which really helped on our wedding day! We added an engagement session so that we would be more comfortable with him on the day of our wedding. The engagement photos AND the wedding photos were fantastic! Actually, they were so great that our coordinators are using a photograph from our wedding for an ad in The Knot!! I most definitely recommend Aaron!!

re so grateful for all his hard work and talent. We highly recommend him!

ges to choose from. He is extremely flexible and very nice. Working with Aaron throughout the year could not have gone more smoothly. He answered any question in a timely fashion and was very professional. The engagement photo session went very smoothly. Upon the day of the wedding, not only did he help keep us relaxed, but he also helped us with some of the formalities - like putting flowers on the guys suites and teaching us how to cut the cake properly (he's done this before). We really didn't see him during the ceremony, but he was there, because every little moment and every detail of the day were captured flawlessly. We don't know how he was everywhere at once, but he was, taking beautiful pictures. You will not be disappointed with his work!

t ease throughout the planning process and truly offers the most value for what he provides. He was professional yet down to earth which made the wedding day go smoothly. His passion for photography shows and its obvious that he takes pride in what he does. He captured all of the "big moments" but also focused on the little details that sometimes get overlooked. The wedding day has come and gone, but we'll have memories forever through our pictures thanks to Aaron.

captured so many moments and details that I wouldn't have even thought about from my perspective during the day. He got everything, including stuff going on that I wouldn't have even thought about myself, but now looking at the pictures, I really enjoy seeing. I'm really happy to have so many to choose from to display that are really beautiful, and capture the moments and the mood of the day. Second, Aaron was always professional, responsive, and pleasant to interact with. For me, wedding planning wasn't my thing, and I found it very stressful, but everything in the photography category was absolutely smooth and went perfectly. Third, in addition to the quality of his work, I really appreciated the type of presence he had during the day, if that makes sense. My friend also used Aaron as her photographer several years back, and he maintained a super low profile. I wanted the same for our wedding, rather than feeling like our wedding was a media event, and he absolutely came through. While everything was going on, I didn't really notice the pictures being taken, which I think helped me feel less self conscious and made the pictures more natural. But when the portraits were being done with our family and bridal party, he took charge, was very efficient. We had a fall wedding and he even was able to time things to get some great outdoor pictures as the sun was setting. I was really impressed. Lastly, he offered several different pricing packages so we could get what worked best for us, and I felt like it was worth every penny. We also received digital pictures very soon after the wedding, which was great. So in summary, the pictures came out fantastic, he was pleasant and easy to work with, and maintained a low profile during the events, all of which were my main goals for a photographer. Thanks so much!!!

our reception over an hour away! All in all, the events that we wanted captured were over 12 hours long but we did not really have a budget to match. We booked Aaron nearly a year before the event based on his portfolio of work, which showed a balanced palette and great artistic timing in capturing moments of joy and emotion. We live across the country, and couldn't meet him until the actual day of the wedding, but during our many phone conversation leading up to the wedding day he always listened carefully, and expressed sincere interest in our plans. He worked with us to make sure that all the most important events of the day were recorded for us to look back on in the years to come, and was creative in putting the photography package together to match our budget. Despite how full the day was, Aaron set us at ease and was calm and collected even when competing with the (many!) amateur photographers during the family portraits. I will always savor the memory of just the two of us and Aaron traipsing through the forest to get some portraits of my husband and I that reflect our love of nature before we went to join the party at the reception. We are normally pretty camera shy people, but it felt really easy and no pressure with Aaron! We were completely blown away when we got our disc of images back--there were so many intimate, artistic moments that he captured throughout the day. Aaron was a total photo ninja! He got so many amazing candid images of our families and friends, and some incredible portraits of us all without disrupting the flow of the day. I would wholeheartedly recommend Aaron Haslinger! He was awesome!

. I’ve seen my fair share of disappointing wedding albums that missed once-in-a-lifetime moments; I wanted to ensure that my husband and I wouldn’t look back at our pictures, disappointed, and say “I wish we had a picture of ___.” We met with multiple photographers before deciding to book Aaron. He’s a genuine, friendly, and personable guy who made us feel extremely comfortable. Almost immediately upon meeting Aaron, we knew we had found the perfect fit. I was admittedly frazzled and stressed out during my wedding planning process and each and every time I had a question for Aaron, he was incredibly responsive and reassuring. On our wedding day, he was prompt, pleasant, and helpful; he even drove my wedding gown to our venue! Throughout our reception, my husband and I discussed how we really didn’t see Aaron all that much, until we watched our wedding video, and saw that he very discreetly stood by our sides, perfectly capturing every moment of our big day. After the wedding, he got our edited photographs back to us extremely quickly. I’ve had friends who have had to wait forever to get their digital images, so I was pleasantly surprised to have a disc in my hands within less than a month and a half. We got way more pictures back then we were expecting (which is awesome!) and the photographs are absolutely stunning. I still get butterflies looking at them. In my wildest dreams, I couldn’t have imagined so many perfect shots. I know we’ll cherish our albums forever. I would recommend Aaron Haslinger Photography to every bride-to-be. He was so reliable and made things so easy for me (in an extremely hectic time in my life). Maybe I’m impartial, but my wedding photos are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.

images I never would have seen and made us feel at ease knowing everything was being captured…..and I really mean everything! We have soooo many pictures and were absolutely amazed at the variety and quality. Furthermore, he had them ready for us to look at within a short amount of time. If you are looking for a talented, professional, pleasant photographer we would recommend Aaron without a doubt!

tting all the shots we were looking for; starting with going to multiple locations so we could have pictures of our furry loved ones before to going to our wedding venue. Aaron was so professional, flexible and kind! Everyone at our wedding raved about him! Our pictures turned out amazing! Aaron you are so talented and I will refer to any and everyone! Thank you for everything! Danielle & Justin Rose

w that we wanted Aaron to capture our special day. We couldn't have been happier with the pictures Aaron took. He was so easy to work with, unobtrusive on the day, and the pictures are spectular. He captured the moments (including the changing weather), identified great photo locations, and provided us with so many "favorites"! WIthout hesitation, we would recommend Aaron.

wn the Visionary Arts Museum, and for only an hour session--we got a ton of shots that turned out great! We sent him some photos and ideas that we liked before our session and he was able to capture all of them. Aaron also turned around the pictures in a timely manner, and even a few days before he promised them :) He is a skilled photographer that is professional and fun. We have a lot of great pictures to choose from for our save-the-dates!
