AJ Photography went above and beyond in capturing the spirit of the Stetsons & Stars Gala. From the moment guests arrived, Armando was fully engaged—welcoming everyone with warmth and professionalism. He beautifully photographed guests with the horses in the arena, creating truly memorable moments that embodied the heart of the evening. Throughout the night, he was everywhere—catching candid smiles, heartfelt interactions, and the vibrant energy of the event without ever being intrusive. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are so grateful for his outstanding support and for helping us preserve the magic of the night through his lens.

AJ is the man! He responded very quickly to every message, despite the 3 hr time zone difference! He made time for calls and planning with me, even suggesting color coordination outfits. He was early and ready when I showed up to surprise my now fiancée. Highly recommend and am super impressed and happy with the product!

Highly Recommend!!! AJ captured my surprise engagement perfectly. He worked with me to find a location and time in South Lake Tahoe. He was there early and was all set up. He stayed in contact with me the entire process and was very detailed. I’m new to Tahoe but with his guidance it went perfect! The photos came out amazing. I’m glad I chose the video as it came out better than I expected. AJ is the real deal. The price matched the quality of work and the amount of work he put in to prepare me. Do yourself a favor and hire AJ for your photographic needs. He will make sure it’s done right.
