Thanks for reaching out about your wedding. I'm glad you're considering me to document your day.
I approach wedding photography as documentary storytelling with a strong compositional eye, capturing real moments with thoughtful framing and visual intention. If that resonates with you, here's how I work and what I offer.
I focus on capturing the real story of your day—the connections between people, the moments that matter, and how it all unfolds naturally.
Documentary approach with careful attention to composition and light.
Congrats!

why i do this
My approach comes from understanding that wedding photography is about more than just taking pictures—it's about capturing the complete story of your day.
I focus on real moments and authentic emotions, with careful attention to composition and light. You won't feel like you're performing for the camera. My goal is to document what's actually happening so you can be fully present with your people.
The result is a gallery that tells your story honestly—photos you'll want to look at for years, not just post once and forget.
I'm Aeson (pronounced Jason without the J) and I've been photographing weddings for seven years.
My approach is documentary storytelling with a strong compositional eye. I grew up watching my dad document everyday family moments, which taught me that the best photos capture things as they actually were—not staged or forced.
Before photography, I worked as a 3D artist, which influences how I see framing and light. I don't stage moments, but I'm naturally aware of how scenes come together visually.
On your wedding day, I blend in and document what's unfolding. I'll guide you lightly when it helps the image, but mostly I'm observing and capturing real moments with compositional intention.
I have two daughters (5 years and 6 months), so I understand how quickly time moves and why these photos matter.
Husband. Father. Photographer.
Hi, I'm Aeson

"Were so, so, SO glad that we had Aeson as our wedding photographer. We were initially hesitant about investing in a professional photographer, but looking back, it was worth every penny. Aeson’s work is simply priceless. He captured every emotion, every smile, and every moment that made our wedding day so special."

Why I Offer Half Day & Full Day Coverage
The most important moments on a wedding day often aren't planned—they unfold quietly between the big events. That's why my coverage isn't based on strict hourly limits.
I want you to be fully present while I document the complete story of your day, not just the highlights. You won't need to stress about timing or decide last minute whether to extend coverage.
I'm there for the nerves, the calm, the chaos, and everything in between. Your day deserves that kind of care.
Your wedding day should feel natural, not performed.
We'll connect via phone, video, or in person to talk through your plans and make sure we're a good fit. No pressure to book.
Once you're ready, I'll send a contract and 50% retainer invoice to secure your date. You'll complete a questionnaire to help me understand your day.
We stay in touch throughout your planning. Timeline help, location scouting, answering questions—I'm available as needed.
I arrive ready to document your story from start to finish. You can relax and be present—I'm keeping an eye on the details.
Within 1-2 weeks after your wedding, you'll receive preview images while I work on your complete gallery.
6-8 weeks later, your complete gallery is ready. Take your time looking through it and reliving your day.
(Optional) If you want an album, we'll design it together with up to three rounds of revisions. A physical keepsake for the years ahead.

"We knew from day one that we were in good hands. The photos are simply incredible. We are also immensely grateful for all your help with the wedding planning, especially with coordinating our run sheet with the different shots we wanted, it would've been so much more stressful with out you!
A million thanks again, we're already recommending you to all the couples we know!"

There's something about holding physical photos that a screen can't replicate. An album sits on your coffee table, gets pulled out when family visits, becomes part of your home in a way digital galleries never do.
I grew up flipping through my parents' albums—seeing their wedding day, family moments, the life they built together. Those physical photos meant something different than images on a computer. You could hold them, pass them around, revisit them without needing to log in anywhere.
Your wedding photos deserve that same presence. Something you can open years from now without worrying about hard drives failing or cloud services changing. Just a beautifully made album that tells your story.
We'll design it together with up to three rounds of revisions. Printed with archival-quality materials that will last.

Your wedding weekend starts the night before. Rehearsal dinners are often more relaxed than the big day - people being themselves, stories being told, laughter without the formality.
It's a good time to capture candid moments of your closest people and meet everyone before the wedding so they're comfortable with me around. Includes 2-3 hours of coverage.
Rehearsal Dinner coverage
$900
Your wedding day will be full of people, moments, and things happening constantly. A day-after session gives you time for just the two of you - relaxed portraits without the timeline pressure.
We can shoot at your venue, a nearby location, or anywhere that makes sense. No rushing, no watching the clock. Just you two and good light.
Includes 2 hours of coverage.

Aeson shot our engagement photos, and despite us not being the most photogenic, he guided us patiently and delivered stunning photos we loved. On our wedding day, he arrived early, prepared, and ensured everything went smoothly. The photos exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with his professionalism and creativity. Aeson made everyone feel comfortable, and we’re confident he’ll bring the same energy and quality to any event.
