Bailey Aro Photography

was very comforting and I couldn’t ask for anything more! Beyond blessed to have her capture our wedding!!

ng , as well as keeping our night moving along.

d that she was with us. It was the opposite really. She totally belonged with our little group. The photos are insanely beautiful. I cried when I looked through them the first time. She captured the spirit of our wedding day and our love so incredibly well. Her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and love of pretty things made our experience seriously magical.

ting wedding dreams, she made me feel like we were lifelong friends connecting after years apart. Bailey is a goofy, sweet soul that made us feel comfortable in front of the camera when we had no idea what we were doing. AND WOW are the images gorgeous!! In addition to her skills as a photographer- she is an amazing extra bridesmaid role! Always taking care of little things- a woman of many trades! Bailey is professional, fun & crazy talented. We are so glad we chose to invest in our photographer- we already treasure the images from this season of life and know we will forever love them.

we barely even felt the cold! Bailey knows how to photograph pure and simple joy; she has a true appreciation for the magic of the moment, and it shows in her photos. She makes the experience enjoyable and special; your wedding photos can either be a line item to cross off the day's schedule, or it can be one of your favorite parts. For us, our time with Bailey resides along with our best memories of our wedding day. I'll look back on our photos for years to come and always be reminded of the giddiness and exorbitant happiness we felt that day. Investing in an amazing wedding photographer is one of the best planning decisions you can make; Bailey appreciates beauty and detail, but more importantly she appreciates you, your story, and the uniqueness you bring as a couple.

y she captured our day for us. Every time we look through our photos, we relive the day all over again! We would both recommend her again in a heartbeat.

d even be an option for us. She has been so incredible from the first time I met with her through the engagement session, wedding day, and delivering the pictures after. We never felt like we just had a photographer at our wedding, but a friend who was a perfect fit for us. She has a true gift for capturing everyone's personalities and emotions while making everyone she interacts with feel so comfortable. She has such a bubbly personality and her positive zest for life is contagious. I am convinced there is no one else I would have trusted in the way I trusted Bailey to capture our love story and our special day. She is so authentic, kind, and hard working and the love she has for people and photography are displayed through all of her personal, hand made touches and images. I never worried about things not going just as planned and when things didn't go quite as planned the day of, which is almost inevitable, she was one of the first people there to check on everything. This just shows how she goes way above and beyond the camera. I could never thank her enough for all of her time and the incredible experience. My husband and I were blown away by how special she made us feel and how interested she was in our love story. Her images have helped us to relive our special day over and over and will continue to be one of the greatest gifts we have ever received. When trying to choose a wedding photographer the choice should hands down be Bailey Aro!

e extra mile to travel outside of her usual range to take our engagement photos where my husband and I first met. You can tell that she truly loves what she does, and that she does it with her whole heart! We would recommend Bailey Aro Photography to anyone! She captured our wedding day perfectly, providing us with timeless images that we will treasure for a lifetime!!! Thanks Bailey!

y yours. With Bailey you will never have to worry! She is an amazing woman and photographer. I can honestly say that as soon as I saw her galleries I knew she was the one for us. From our first meeting to our engagement session to our big day, Bailey was phenomenal. She checks in, sends cards/care packages, and does little things just to let you know what you mean to her as a client. If I ever need to recommend anyone as a photographer it will always be Bailey. Her images are natural, authentic, and absolutely breathtaking. To this day have friends who are jealous of what she did for us and the quality and beauty of our wedding. From the first day I saw Bailey Aro Photography's website I knew Bailey will be my photographer for life! Pick Bailey you will never regret that decision.

oments between couples while keeping everything very natural. Nothing is too posed or cliche. She tailors every photo to you as a couple and it really shows in her work!

. The overall experience made us feel so special as well- packages delivered to our door with handwritten notes, so sweet and thoughtful! So happy we had Bailey as our photographer.

everyone! No awkward moments or poses. She did a great job!

you can relax a be able to put all of your trust in her because you'll just know - her work will be amazing. Its an incredibly personalized experience from the beginning until a few months after the wedding. She is always in for a surprise that truly inspired us and put a smile on our faces. We don't just have the amazing wedding pictures but also have made a new friend. Thank you so much Bailey, working with you has been one of our best choices yet! Much love, Guy

an our wedding day. Bailey was our go to girl for just about everything throughout our planning process, thank god for bailey! On our wedding day her eye for photography shone with her attention to detail and her ability to capture the perfect moments. After recently receiving our wedding photos we couldn't have been more ecstatic. Every image was beautifully captured, carefully edited and gorgeously delivered to our home. We cannot thank Bailey enough! She is a true gem with incredible talent.

t seen before. As a minister, freelance makeup artist, and also as a very seasoned bridesmaid, I can tell you that a good photographer is the most important thing to invest in for your wedding. Bailey is hands down, the best investment you could make for your wedding. She will keep you and your bridal party at ease, and make photo time actually fun! I could not recommend her more highly.

o tell your love story so perfectly is pure magic! Bailey is one of the most genuine, kind-hearted, and detail-oriented individuals my husband and I have ever met. Bailey is so much more than a photographer; she helped us along the entire journey to make our special day everything we could have ever dreamed of. Bailey is a true Northwoods girl that craves adventure; if you are willing to join her, you will not be disappointed! It is certain that our paths will cross once again with Bailey as my husband and I continue on this journey of marriage with her behind the lens capturing even more memories to last a lifetime!

t me to tears. We simply look at any one of the dozens of beautiful photos and it’s like she has captured 14 years of our history and summed it up in one gorgeous still. Bailey truly lives through her philosophy to “have a marriage more beautiful than your wedding” and was so much more to us than just a photographer or vendor. Among many things, she is a fielder-of-questions, a source of laughter (which was much needed to get my somewhat-shy husband to let loose), a shepherd to the masses during family photo time (NOT an easy task for our large groups), a fellow doting dog-mom (VERY important if you plan to include your pup; she’s a dog-whispering genius!) and truly, overall, an artist. I never once doubted that she would produce artistic, meaningful photos of the most important day of our lives thus far, and she delivered with thoughtfulness, professionalism, organization, and grace. Bottom line? You NEED her.

but how that day felt. She truly is able capture the moment and emotion in her lense and there's no one better! Not only is she wonderfully talented she's also fabulously down to earth and was able to make us feel very comfortable during our engagement shoot and our wedding party kept telling me how great she was when we were taking group photos at the wedding. So look no further she's "the one". ;)

wedding day that our friends & family can't stop raving over (and we can't stop drooling over!), she was meticulously organized and prepared, which was especially helpful amidst the craziness of the wedding day! If you're looking for a laid back, fun-loving, TALENTED-as-heck photographer, Bailey is your girl!

so fun to be around, her energy was contagious. We always felt at ease and we both have commented how fun taking pictures with her was! She has such a calming presence and works so hard to make the day as effortless for the clients as possible. We would recommend Bailey to anyone who asks. Even our wedding parties were impressed (a lot of whom have already had weddings and have used other photographers)! We can't speak highly enough of her! Michael and Cidne Kozlovski

o well with my husband and I and our black lab during our engagement shoot. We had so much fun together and I loved having her by our side for the wedding day. Bailey is very organized and that helped to calm my nerves leading up to the big day. She sent a tentative timeline that I could work with and asked detailed questions about our family, our vision for the day and she captured the candid moments of happy bliss like the professional she is. Don't be afraid to adventure off the beaten path with Bailey because if you do, you won't regret the photos that come from it! I didn't want our wedding day to end because I didn't want our journey with Bailey to be over! She's such a delight to work with and offered so many helpful suggestions during the planning process. I look forward to booking future anniversary sessions with Bailey!

more special, and was more than patient and accommodating our wedding day! She is a fantastic photographer and we highly recommend her!

ories that will be cherished always. Thank you again Miss Bailey!!!

absolutely captured everyone so perfectly the pics of the wedding party were so good, they look like each person was having a great time! So many smiles and laughs! I would absolutely recommend Bailey!!!

old friends. She did a great job making everyone feel comfortable and capturing amazing photos to boot! We love her photography style and philosophy and our only regret is not having her for longer! Look no further! Bailey is the best!!

be an amazing person and a joy to work with. You get all of this and more with her! The best wedding gift you can give yourself!

nt photos, and love how Bailey made us feel so natural right in our element!

standards around.

and hates taking pictures and Bailey helped him feel relaxed and comfortable. Our pictures turned out beautiful. I would highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a professional and friendly photographer with an impeccable aesthetic.

her until she retires!

ositive attitude and is open to any ideas. I highly recommend Bailey!

r photos ever since. My husband and I were beyond blessed by wining Bailey’s Wedding Shoot Giveaway, which was something she did to give back to the community. I feel so honored that she chose us. Bailey showered us in personalized gifts for holidays, birthdays, and for just being the winners throughout the year. Bailey was beyond kind to us and spent a lot of time getting to know both me and my husband. Her sweet, genuine, down to earth, and fun-loving personality shines through in all of her pictures. When I look at my engagement and wedding pictures, I can see all the love and raw emotions that we were experiencing. Everyone that has looked at our pictures have made the comment, “Those pictures are so you”. This speaks volumes to Bailey’s talent and skills. Bailey was a key component in making my wedding day run smooth. She thought of every detail and created a timeline so I could just enjoy every moment of my wedding. I cannot put into words how grateful we were to have had Bailey capture our wedding. I re-live my wedding day every time I look at my photos.

da, right? The fun part about Bailey is that she jumps IN with a bang. (A fun, glittery bang.) When we booked, she sent fun presents and a mini bottle of champagne in the mail. She takes charge without being pushy. She longs to spend time with kindred spirits and wants clients who really will let her do her magic and trust her totally. I hope I'd be correct in saying,(and hopefully not being too weird) if her business persona were a breakfast food, she would probably be a mimosa and a big, honking piece of cake. For breakfast. Because she's just awesome like that. With airy, filmy, nostalgic images and her love for laughing, details and like minded people, I think anyone who loves dogs, pine cones, little details and awesomeness would be over-the-moon-thrilled with her and her work. Because she doesn't leave you with just images, not just memories. She completely and wholly captured our day in a way that makes me cry, in a way I didn't think I could care about any images of my family. I can recount so many details of the wedding just by looking, I don't just recount the moment. I recall the emotion, the smell, the fog in the woods, the events before and after each image, when all of that could be so easily forgotten. Thanks Bailey, and I hope this review accurately represents you in a way that you would be proud of! You own a fabulous business and you go above and beyond!

r bulldog, best way to a dogs heart and to ensure cute pictures!) then we treked to our favorite hiking spot in Chester Bowl. Bailey gives just enough direction, making you feel comfortable, but still letting you be yourself! She captured who we are and got our sneak peek pics to us right away! Then we have our wedding day. BEST. DAY. EVER. Every moment that she captured was perfect. She has a great eye for detail, picking moments that were true to us! And let's just say that when your photographer runs ahead of the wedding party, goes to the third floor balcony of the reception venue, and gets the wedding party arrival moment from above, WOW! Above and beyond! What a great memory. We can't wait to work with Bailey again for our future family moments.

very shot is unique. I HIGHLY recommend her! -Danielle

we had a lot of fun and you can tell in the photos. I couldn't have been happier with how the photos turned out. She is spunky and fun and I'm so glad we got to work with her. Good wedding photography is going to be an investment, but you get what you pay for and Bailey is worth it!

f professionalism and her photos are perfect. We highly recommend Bailey.

at day. We couldn't be happier with the photos we received and we will use her for all our photo shoots in the future! Highly recommended :)

feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I am so thankful that we had her there on our special day!!

hire her. She was just a bit out of our price range but she was willing to work with us and create a package for us. We didn't do an engagement session beforehand so I was a little nervous about what to expect the day of the wedding since we hadn't worked together before. Everything went absolutely smoothly. Even my bridal party commented on how fun she was to work with. Oh and did I mention she traveled from Duluth to Taylor's Falls for us?? Bailey is the best and you will not regret choosing her at all!!

ngagement session would be awkward and feel forced. This was not the case, Bailey is so friendly, fun and welcoming, it was easy to be ourselves around her. She wasn't just taking our pictures, she interacted with us and had us laughing the whole time. We had blast working with Bailey and more importantly, both my fiancé and I felt very comfortable with her. If you're from Duluth you know how variable the weather can be, no matter what season. Bailey not only anticipated the variable weather but was very flexible with it. On the day of our session the weather was predicted to be rainy, windy and cold. Bailey researched the forecast for the whole day, found the most optimal time to have our session (before the rain hit!) and rescheduled her whole day to make it work for us. Bailey is very personable, professional, experienced and fun. We are lovers of the outdoors and appreciated how she incorporates nature into her work. The images received not only are special to have but also are very true to who we are and are something we will treasure forever. We would highly recommend Bailey Aro Photography to anyone!

am overweight and extremely self conscious, I despise having my picture taken. But there was not a single photograph that Bailey took of me on our wedding day that I could point out flaws with. My husband and I both looked amazing! Also, Bailey captures the natural beauty of people. None of that airbrushing a thigh gap here! She's a natural at catching moments as they happen, instead of staging them. I could go on and on, but I'll end with.. You would NEVER regret using Bailey Aro as your wedding photographer.. I know my husband and I don't!

Bailey has it all - a fantastic demeanor, a bag of tricks for emergencies and an eye for beautiful. I could not recommend her enough. In fact, a year after our wedding we had her take new photos that included our baby daughter. Hire her, you won't regret it.

f real people doing real things. From my red eyes after my first look, to the wind blowing my hair, down to a hearty chuckle captured on film; each picture reminds me of that very moment I was in, how I was feeling, and helps me keep that memory forever. Her "down to earth" personality kept us feeling natural, and her professionalism left us worry free about the quality we would receive. I love how Bailey really got to know who me and my Husband were, so the pictures captured our true personalities and did not just reflect a trending pose. I literally had to worry about nothing other than showing up and being me. I honestly feel our engagement session was one of the most fun moments my husband and I shared. It was amazing to be ourselves in some of our favorite spots, genuinely enjoying each others company during a beautifully intimate session. If you want to invest in high quality photos with high professionalism that feels like you're working with someone you've known for years, I'd recommend Bailey! There is literally not one thing that I was disappointed in, and the whole experience was effortless, stress free, worry free, fun, emotional (in a good way!), and memorable. The thing I first noticed about Bailey's work, that would be helpful for Bride-to-be's to know, is that every single person Bailey has worked with, looks stunning in their pictures. Male, female, young, old, tall, short- it doesn't matter. She captures everyone's genuine beauty. Thank you, Bailey, for capturing some of the most beautifully emotional times in my life!

t. She was professional, knew what to say/do to capture our genuine smiles and personalities, and she continuously put us at ease. On our wedding day, Bailey brought a second shooter, so we got tons of photos that we didn't even realize were taken, and multiple angles of the most important moments. Awesome. She had a timeline laid out, which was very helpful to us throughout the day, and her eye for color and background led to incredible shots that took our breath away. If we had to do everything over, we would choose Bailey as our photographer every time!! She is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but also a wonderful person we now consider a friend.
