Aaron was an absolute dream to work with. From the moment we met until the wedding day and beyond, Aaron never missed a single step in any of the details. He’s very organized, creates a timeline for the day of the wedding, responds so quickly to emails and is just a pleasure in general to work with. Out of all of my vendors, he was my favorite. His kind gestures throughout our planning were so thoughtful. Not to mention, Aaron’s skills at photography are simply amazing. I have so many stunning wedding pictures I am not sure I will ever be able to pick a favorite. Photography was an important part of my wedding must-haves and investing in Aaron’s work is worth every single penny. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. I can’t thank Aaron enough for masterfully capturing our special day.

We can’t say enough great things about Aaron. He is amazingly talented and perfectly captured our wedding day this past June. He was so professional and organized through every step of our wedding planning process. He did our engagement pictures and wedding pictures and we are still receiving compliments about how beautiful and unique his shots are. Not only does he get amazing close up shots of each couple but his zoomed out shots of the couples that show the surrounding scenery are simply breathtaking. He did an awesome job of capturing every single detail at our wedding and we are so thrilled that we will be able to look back at our big day for years to come. Our ceremony was at my church and then our reception was a good 45 minutes away but Aaron had our scheduled planned perfectly and made sure we were on track with everything. He eased any wedding day anxiety I had and helped us enjoy and really take in our day. Not only did he get amazing pictures of my husband and I, but he also made sure to get plenty of pictures of our friends and family, group pictures, and the details at the reception. He does it all. And the NIGHT SHOTS...I could seriously go on and on. We loved them all. We cannot thank him enough for beautifully capturing our special day. We would recommend Aaron Varga Photography 100%.

When the time came to wedding plan, hiring a top Pittsburgh wedding photographer was our first priority. I had always been a fan of Aaron Varga Photography (AVP). He stood out to me because year after year he captures beautiful weddings. I also loved his consistent sneak peaks and blog posts. It was clear every couple received the VIP AVP treatment, and he didn’t play the favorites game, which was important to us.
While Aaron was a front runner, we did our due diligence and reached out to about ten other wedding photographers before making a decision. However, Aaron’s response was a clear cut above the rest. He was the first to respond and the only one who sought to get to know us better. I was so impressed when we met face-to-face. I swore he did homework on us and brought a portfolio of images that mimicked the wedding aesthetic we hoped to achieve. Bonus, there was no ego here—he’s one heck of a nice guy!
Needless to say, our engagement and wedding photos exceeded all expectations. Simple, city, chic was our goal, and his photos translate just that. We’re so excited to have a classic story book of images that we’ll always be proud to share. But more than that, Aaron was the consummate professional and gentleman throughout the entire process. Even in the depths of winter, I’d have immediate email responses. If I asked fifteen questions, I’d have fifteen answers. There were specific shots we wanted, and he made sure we got them. His attention to detail and high-touch service were evident from start to finish. We just love Aaron, and we love the work he did for us. I definitely sense an AVP anniversary shoot in our future.

Absolutely amazing! Working with Aaron was such an amazing experience. He is professional, organized, prepared and truly great at his job. My husband and I were planning our wedding from out of town so we really wanted a photographer we could trust and not have to worry about getting all the details we wanted. Our pictures are beautiful and so much better than we could have ever expected. The turn around time was amazing and we were looking at photos as early as the reception!

Aaron came highly recommended from a close friend who also used him for his engagement session. After having seen the photos from other photographers it was clear that Aaron is no cookie cutter wedding photographer. His photos are more dynamic and it makes you appreciate his skill in capturing the shot, the moment and the memory he intends to create by capturing all that emotion. It’s not the same generic poses or scenery that everyone else uses. He is very easy to work with and one of the nicest guys I have ever met. The turn around time was less than one week, he does all his own editing and his photos are so good that it doesn’t require much editing anyway. You get what you pay for and Aaron is definitely worth it.

Aaron photographed our wedding on August 13, 2016 at Saint Paul Cathedral and The Pennsylvanian. We could not have hired a more thoughtful, kind, professional and talented photographer. We are in love with our wedding photos and everyone always comments, “they should be in a magazine” … Aaron’s images are truly beautiful and iconic. Aaron was quick to send us our photos and the night of our wedding he had some of his favorite shots on display at our reception. Throughout wedding planning, Aaron would send thoughtful notes or gifts to get us more excited for our day. Unfortuntely, four months after our wedding, my Grandfather passed away….Aaron knew how much he meant to me and Aaron sent me all of the prints of my grandfather from our wedding. Aaron’s thoughtfullness, talent, and beautiful photography are unprecedented … I highly recommend Aaron Varga to any couple wanting beautiful wedding photos!

As my husband and I started putting our wedding budget together, there were a few elements that we were willing to spend a little more on, and photography was one of them. Both of my sisters were so disappointed with their wedding photos and overall experiences, so I wanted to spend some time and find the best of the best. Wedding photos are important. You’ll have them forever. A number of my friends had recommended Aaron, and when we met him, we knew we had made the right decision. He’s professional, but still fun; unpretentious and easy-going, but still able to command a room full of people; and has such a creative eye, but is so organized and responsive – the perfect combination of a Type A & Type B personality. He made us feel so comfortable all day. We did a first look and took most of our photos prior to the ceremony, which was great. Aaron took us to 3-4 different locations, so we had a variety of backgrounds, which I really liked. During the ceremony and reception he was kind of like a ninja – you didn’t even know he was there, until you wanted to take a photo and he would just magically appear. The result? The most gorgeous photos I could have imagined. I love that he gives you a sneak peek, and when we returned from our honeymoon, the photos were ready to go! I look at them daily, and sometimes can’t believe it’s actually us in the photos. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out, and would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up. :)
