I was surprised with our photographer, Sang! He was very kind to our guests, he led the group pictures beautifully and captured moments we couldnt witness throughout our event. The gallery was very easy to access and were delivered 2 work days after. He even matched the tones to our color palette. I will definitely hire him again in the future! Thank you Sang!!!

Arion did an outstanding job. He arrived 30 minutes early to the photoshoot and took over 150 photos. He even photoshopped and enhanced our 15 favorite photos. My fiancé and I are really happy with how the photos turned out. Highly recommend!

Okay....pay close attention to everything I'm about to say about Arion. I am located in PA. I was looking for a photographer to shoot the very first cover for my magazine in Houston! I could not be there, so there was a lot of trust I would have to place in whoever I booked. I am SO GLAD IT WAS ARION! Not only was he professional, but he was extremely precise, and it made the whole process seamless. I never once doubted whether, or not he could give me what it was that I was looking for for this shoot. He was on time, but not only that, my model felt completely comfortable with him. Now let's talk about the end result. The photos are amazing!!! He provided me with so many options. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to partner with on this project. I am truly grateful for his professionalism oh, and I will use him most definitely going forward. If you want a photographer that you can trust. You most certainly should book Arion!

It was a hectic moment for me with the engagement, but Arion took great photos and even got sneaky with ones we weren't expecting. Great work!! Still need to finalize our shots we want professionally touched but he's great! Would recommend

This was my first time hiring a photographer and he absolutely killed it! It was for a gender reveal I was planning and I asked him to take candid photos throughout the event, which were absolutely amazing!!! He sent me over 300 copies of the photographs taken less than 5 hours from when the event ended! Other photographers were telling me 3-4 weeks. Even at that, the photos he sent were of very good quality which is why I was shocked when he asked me to pick some for him to polish, I was like ‘wait these are just the raw images’?! Overall very professional, super nice guy and did amazing work.
Consider hiring him for your event, you won’t regret it! He’s very responsive and has a really good attitude about it all, and all this for a very reasonable price that won’t break the bank!
Thank you for all your hard work, I will be looking for you when I do my graduation pictures over the summer!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I base my pricing on the equipment that is suited for the project/event. In most cases, I will use a Canon 90d 4k DSLR. I also operate a DJI Mavic Mini to get drone shots (If requested by the client). Editing will normally be applied to assemble the project no longer than 10 minutes in length. Any project in final editing extends towards 10 minutes and longer will have additional editing fees, based on the complexity in nature of editing. I and the client will come to an agreement on how much editing will be needed and agreed on.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I taught myself videography, back in 2011. Throughout this time I have worked on 200+ projects and or events.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started doing small home movies in the beginning, in 2014 I started providing my videography services.
