Avery was responsive to my initial request, checked in prior to the event and was a sincere pleasure to have in our home. He captured the moments without being obtrusive, was courteous (and well dressed!), and I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again!
Details: Birthday party • 25 - 49 guests • Indoors • Digital or online download

A-Optics filmed my daughter’s Sweet 16. From my first conversation with the owner I knew this was the company I would be using to capture my daughter’s special day. His professionalism, knowledge, and patience made things so smooth. Thank you to you and your beautiful wife. I can’t wait to see the finished product!! You are amazing in EVERY sense of the word!!

Haven’t rec’d our photos yet but I wanted to write a glowing review based on Avery’s professionalism! Communication from the start was impressive. From the very first phone call, I already felt how genuine of a person he was. And then the day of our ceremony came and the weather did not look great at all. Thankfully, Avery was there way ahead of schedule and we were able to push our time up. I really appreciate that even before our big day, he reassured me that there wouldn’t be additional charges if our time went over. That in itself helped make the event more enjoyable. Thankfully, we were able to get some pictures before the thunderstorm came pouring down on us. We all got drenched on the beach but Avery was still clicking away, trying to get the best pictures for us. I can’t wait to see what those look like but regardless... his professionalism, willingness and positive outlook while getting soaked with us, was well worth what I paid. My husband (a man of few words) was actually the first to bring up how awesome Avery was! Truly can’t say enough great things!! Thank you from the bottom of all our hearts, Avery!!
p.s.I am attaching a couple photos he kindly took with my iPhone. ❤️
A-Optics's reply
Thank you very much, Lyn, for your positive and heartfelt review. I absolutely enjoy my profession and truly enjoyed taking pictures of you and your wonderful family. As a photographer, I often focus on trying to get the best shot but your review really helps me realize that good service goes beyond just taking the picture. It includes timeliness, dedication, constant communication and having a positive attitude no matter what the situation brings - that's when good customer service becomes a quality customer experince.
Ms. Lyn, customers like you and your family is why I became a photographer - so I thank you.

Trustworthy, skillful, and professional are just a few words that can be used to describe A-OPTICS. From the initial meeting with Mr. Williams all the way up to the day of my event his staff was extremely knowledgeable and efficient in their setup, their equipment, and versatility. They really took a lot of the guess work out of the planning thereby allowing me to really focus on the more important details for my occasion.
When I finally saw the finish product, my guests and I were totally blown away by the finished photographs and video. A-Optics really paid attention to the small details, giving us memories we can share for years to come. The guests even commented on the staff's politeness and the quality of the picture packages they ordered.
Good or bad, I normally do not write a review but I had to take the time to express how THANKFUL I am for the awesome work performed by Mr. Williams and A-Optics along with their support of the Law Enforcement community!
If you are looking for a company who can capture the very best moments of your event, I strongly suggest you look no further than A-Optics. You WILL NOT be disappointed.
Mr. Williams, “Thank you” and we’ll see you next year at the banquet!
A-Optics's reply
Mr. Bernie, most vendors work hard to get a fair review but not many vendors know that a review is the true measure of their success. However, you never know what the review will be so we hope for the best - and your review Mr. Bernie is one of them!
On behalf of A-Optics, I would like to thank you for submitting your detailed review. It's our goal to not only give customers what they technically need to capture an event but to also give the customer what they expected when they first envisioned the project. Additionally, we would like to give thanks to your organization for selecting us to film your annual events and we look forward to continually build on this business relationship.

Avery was AMAZING!! We had a large scale event that needed a videographer last minute and he was not only very responsive to our needs, but kept open communication throughout the whole process. Very professional, kind, and knowledgable in his field. When we have these needs in the future, we will definitely hire him again. Thanks Avery!
Thank you Britt for the 5-star rating and the detailed review. It is definitely our goal to not only perform the task requested but to also holistically provide good service all around. Additionally, it was my pleasure to support the USF Women Impowerment Conference which was well organized and very successful. Awesome job and kudos goes out to you and your team!!!
Thanks Again...

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
A-Optics does not do pricing in the traditional photography way. With A-Optics, we don't charge for the number of outfits you wear, we don't charge by the number of locations we select, we don't charge for the number of people in the shot, we don't charge based on what day it is, and best of all - WE DON'T CHARGE BY THE HOUR!
We simply charge a flat rate for that particular photo session. Note: some restrictions may apply...
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our typical process when working with new customers is to first discuss and get a clear understanding of the client's needs allowing us to customize the photo session to deliver the most value. This will also include providing any information and guidance that may help the client make their decision.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
A-Optics was in the making for 20 years taking pictures and providing photo/video services to family, friends, work related events and church. Additionally, 2 years of online training courses were completed.
