KIND WORDS FROM KIND PEOPLE
While these are super great for me to read on a rainy day, I hope it is useful for you to
get a feel for what it’s like to work with me!
ALLISON + LINDEN
Aileen was so positive and upbeat through the entire engagement and marriage process! I wish I lived closer to her because she’s such a great person!! Our photos are amazing quality, they are way beyond my expectations. I love the candid moments she was able to capture. We had sneak peeks of our wedding photos the next MORNING!! Wow. 10/10 will get photos done by her any day. She is exceptional!!
INTAN + RYAN
Having Aileen as our photographer for the biggest day of our lives was definitely one of the best decisions we made. We knew that having a great photographer was very important to us and we allotted a larger percentage of our wedding budget to reflect that. Because after all of the hard work that goes into planning the perfect day that without a doubt will fly by like a whirlwind, all you'll have left from the day are photos that you want to be sure you love.
Aileen was so approachable and accommodating throughout the whole process and made us feel comfortable being us while in front of a camera, which wasn't quite our strong suit prior to Aileen. On the day of, she was always so professional, friendly, and discreet in capturing all the special moments, even ones we forgot about in the thrill of the day until we looked back at the photos.
We also ordered the wedding album alongside the parent albums from Aileen which turned out amazing. Not only was the album quality incredible, the album designing process was also very fun and easy with Aileen's help and clear communication. We think we've found a photographer to follow us through our life journey!
CADENCE + JENNIFER
Aileen is absolutely amazing. She's followed my wife and I throughout our whole relationship so far, doing our one year photos, engagement shoot, and wedding. All the photos have been stunningly done, and we've had so much positive feedback from friends and family on them. Especially at our wedding she was so professional and go-with-the-flow, figuring out other ideas if something changed, and coming up with really unique and beautiful poses. We can't wait until the next event we require a photographer for, it will most definitely be her!
SANJA + IAN
We got married on New Years Eve and knew we needed to really trust the skills of whoever we hired because it was going to be a challenging night to shoot. It was indoors, dimly lit, no natural light, no time dedicated for posed photos, no flash requested, and of course high expectations. and by high, I mean, the groom is a camera operator in film, so like REALLY high expectations. We met Aileen and really felt like she “got” what we were going for. She was casual and confident and wasn’t afraid to do things untraditionally.
On the night, she was everywhere, on every angle, on every moment, and you never even realized she was getting the shots. Working with many stills photographers on set, we felt that she did the work of three people. The end result superseded our expectations. Highly recommend!
KEZIAH + SAM
Aileen is an awesome human being and of course, photographer! She is so much fun to work with (not to mention, easy!) and she made us feel very comfortable with her in front of the camera. She is very patient and works with what she has (aka clients like us who cannot be serious in front of a camera). She is passionate about her work and is quite talented at it. She will go to great lengths to get the perfect shot! Our engagement photos and wedding photos are AMAZING and they turned out to be exactly what we had wanted. We love her style and we are so glad to have met Aileen and have her document our own little journey. Safe to say we will keep returning to her for future shoots!
AMANDA + ARLEN
I was looking for a wedding photographer who could capture genuine moments and still make us look our best; whose style was polished without coming across as overly-edited or filtered; and most of all, a real human being who could put us at ease in front of the camera (which is NOT my favourite place to be. I would rather go to ten dentist appointments in a week than have my photo taken). I found all of those things with Aileen.
From the first emails through meeting in person, shooting our engagement photos and running around with us on our wedding day, Aileen was never anything less than the most capable, honest, friendly and hardworking photographer you could ask for. Her work speaks for itself, but her personality and communication skills are a bonus. She's quick to respond to emails and it feels more like you're talking to a friend than a vendor.
Simply put, Aileen was our favourite person to work with throughout our wedding planning, simply because all of these qualities shine through in everything she does. She is always up for an adventure, offers guidance while still being flexible, and perhaps most importantly - her photos are absolute magic. I truly cannot say enough good things and look forward to working with her again for future important photos!
RACHEL + DALTON
I don't usually leave reviews but really felt like Aileen deserved one. We hired her for our engagement and wedding photos based on a recommendation. We immediately liked her photography style when we first saw them, but what really set her apart was her utmost genuine enthusiasm throughout the whole process. She had a great knack for making us feel more comfortable than we should have been posing in front of a camera. She handled all the requests with ease on our actual wedding day making it as painless as possible. We cannot recommend her enough as a photographer and would happy to work with her again in the future!
