    My favorite picture  Aaron Álvarez Photography
    Lizette M.

    Aaron, thank you and to your team so much! You guys are amazing, super professional. I was able to obtain photos and video for my daughter's sweet sixteen under seven weeks. I'm extremely satisfied for doing business with you and with your amazing work!

    My husband and I would like to just say THANK YOU AARON for being an awesome photographer and for capturing wonderful moments at our wedding .we were researching an all in one photographer and videographer in the OC area but it was tough finding one that suited our budget and picture style. I asked a friend and she referred me to Aaron Alvarez who had previously worked with her for her wedding. I researched his work and decided to book an appointment to see more of his work and how he goes about preparing his photography. I chose him because of the style of his photography, his professionalism, and how he is truly a master at his craft. He took beautiful engagement pictures at a location of our choosing and above all, he captured the most awesome and beautiful pictures of our wedding. Once it was close to the wedding date, Aaron was able to work with our wedding day-of timeline and incorporated his day-of timeline with ours. If I had any questions he was able to immediately answer the phone and provide me with answers. He truly does have great experience and I am so glad that we chose him for our photography/videography. I can't wait to see our video

    Aaron and his team were incredible! We had hired them to take photos and video for our wedding on short notice. We absolutely loved the photos from our wedding. Since we had a Star Wars themed wedding, we had used lightsabers in our photos. Aaron took the time to edit the photos in our wedding album so that the lightsabers had that special glow. We also really loved our wedding videos of the ceremony and reception. It was beautifully captured and we will be able to cherish our special day for years to come. Aside from the great work Aaron does, he is also easy to work with, friendly, and fun. If ever we need a photographer again, we will go definitely go to Aaron.

    We wanted someone local to shoot our wedding. We had been in contact with large photography and videography companies that contract with other individuals in the local area but we didn't want to contract with someone that had not met or discussed what we wanted for our wedding. Aaron and his team were great to work with since the beginning. Aaron showed us his work, we loved it and we appreciated the time he spent with us. We did our engagement and wedding day pictures with Aaron and his team. Working with the team was great and we loved our pictures. The quality was great for both pictures and video. Thank you Aaron and team for capturing our special moments!

    My experience at Aaron Alvarez Photography was UNBEATABLE! Upon beginning my Real Estate career, I knew it was finally time to get some professional headshots. As I scoured the internet and different websites for the right place, everywhere was either way too expensive, or simply sub-par quality. When I found Aaron, I knew I found the right photo studio. Not only is the pricing super fair, but the picture quality and customer service are amazing. Paying for and booking my appointment was super quick and simple. I even booked less than 48 hours in advance. Once I got to my appointment, Aaron immediately made me super comfortable and was very easy to talk to. He is a very kind and professional photographer who evidently knows what he is doing, and caters to your wants and needs. I sometimes struggle to smile/pose naturally for pictures, and he very comfortably and easily corrected me and helped me get AMAZING headshots. I'm so confident and happy with the pictures that will appear on my marketing and media materials thanks to Aaron.

    Headshot

    I had such a great experience with Aaron. I was doing my very first photoshoot for a pageant so I was nervous but Aaron put me at ease. He was patient with me and also told me about anything that needed to be adjusted or fixed so that I could take a great photo. The session was really affordable and you get a lot out of it for the value. He is also very fast with editing and retouching so I didn't have to worry about waiting for weeks or months to get the photos back! When the photos came back and there were some things I wanted to be fixed and he absolutely delivered. I highly recommend !!

    Very happy with my photos by Aaron Alvarez Photography!

    Aaron Alvarez is an excellent photographer and I highly recommend him. From setting up an appointment to the delivery of the photos, everything was fluid and outstanding. Setting up an appointment was simple. I chose the photo package, date and time, and received a confirmation with all the details. I also received reminders as well as details on where the studio was, and where to park. Aaron's studio is in a historic building among other artists. It is open and well-lit, and is tastefully furnished. Aaron was very welcoming and he showed me the ordering process. Everything was straight to the point, with no hidden fees. In the studio, Aaron explained the process and showed me the various backdrops and lights. I noticed that he uses new and high-tech equipment which simplifies the process, while still maintaining good outcome. Aaron would stop to show me the shots and already I could tell they were going to be good. He's very accommodating and allowed me to change my outfits a couple of times. He also suggested a few poses that elongated my neck and hid some unwanted features -- which I was grateful for. The online gallery was ready within a day and I was very impressed with the photos. There were almost 80 photos, which I could download without watermark for social media. I also chose 3 to retouch (comes with the photo package that I selected) and I ordered a couple other extra photos. They were ready within a couple days. All downloaded with ease online. Overall I'm very satisfied with Aaron and I don't hesitate to recommend him to all my friends. I'm looking forward to my next photoshoot!

    It was my babies first photoshoot and Aaron did an amazing job! He was very patient and very professional. He captured some great pictures of my son. Thank you Aaron for the all the great photos! I loved them! Can't wait to work with you again.

    Jingle T.

    After seeing my older sister's headshot photos with Aaron, I made an appointment with him and I am so glad that I did. Once I arrived to the studio, it was an amazing experience. Aaron is friendly and very professional, he was very helpful and encouraging. He showed me pictures as we were shooting and I loved how the photos looked.   Once the photo-shoot was done, he explained the process and within a few days I had my pictures delivered to my inbox. I had so many great photos to choose from! I will definitely use Aaron Alvarez Photography in the future and I highly recommend him to everyone!

    Vicky Z.

    Aaron is an expert and true professional in his line of work. My colleagues and I have used his services several times and we just LOVE him and his work. Not only does he do a phenomenal job with the photography but he always delivers faster then expected. As a makeup artist & body painter it's important that my models are 100% comfortable with the photographer and Aaron does a wonderful job. Thank you Aaron for your professionalism and kind heart. I look forward to our next shoot!

This city has always held a special place in our hearts, and having our wedding there was already a dream come true. But Kimfilms made it even more magical. From the moment we connected, the team exuded warmth, professionalism, and creative passion. They immediately understood our vision -- I had always dreamed of something timeless, elegant, and full of class -- and they brought that to life beyond anything I could have imagined. Every shot, every angle, every frame felt intentional, artistic, and deeply personal. Kimfilms didn't just take photos and videos -- they told our story. The way they captured the natural beauty of Santa Barbara alongside the intimate moments between my husband and me was absolutely breathtaking. They caught the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the laughter, and the love -- the kinds of moments you can't plan, only feel. And now, thanks to them, we get to relive those emotions forever. When we saw the final footage and images, we were moved to tears. It was everything we hoped for and more -- a perfect reflection of who we are as a couple and the love we shared that day. The vision of elegance and class was spot on, and Kimfilms honored it with such care and creativity. To the entire Kimfilms team: thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for making us feel seen, for honoring our story, and for giving us the most beautiful memories to look back on. We will cherish your work -- and your presence on our special day -- for a lifetime. Czezka + Joaquin

They made picking which photos to print and post such a tough decision (we want to print and post ALL of them)!!! We knew we had made the right decision when we had our engagement shoot. We're not super used to being in front of the camera, but KimFilms did such a fantastic job with helping to guide and pose us in ways that still looked natural. They had scouted our photo venue ahead of time and had some great spots in mind that gave us a lot of variety of settings for our photos. I knew I wanted my photo and video for the wedding to both come from one company, and KimFilms really proved why that is such an asset. They work efficiently and quickly together, and have a clear plan in mind about what shots to get where and when - but were also flexible when plans changed due to rain. Their level of experience is evident and I cannot recommend their team enough - thank you KimFilms!

She is everything both a client and a planner could want in a photographer talented, professional, calm under pressure, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Nicole is a true creative partner. She has the perfect balance of personality and leadership able to command a room when needed to achieve the shots that matter most, while still photographing in an organic, effortless way that captures the true essence of each moment. Her eye for lighting and angles is exceptional, and her work is consistently artistic, elevated, and timeless. Clients are beyond happy with their decision to book her, and it's easy to see why. Aside from her talent, her turnaround time is incredible. She shares sneak peeks so quickly, which clients always appreciate especially while they're still on that post-wedding high. And planners appreciate as well! Being able to relive such a meaningful day through photos (and video) so soon after the celebration is truly exciting, and Nicole consistently goes above and beyond to deliver galleries as quickly as possible without ever compromising quality. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I look forward to many more events together!! Xoxo

From the moment you meet her, you feel safe, understood, and completely cared for. She pours her whole heart into her work, and it shows in every image.

We stopped by on a weekday in the late afternoon and practically had the place to ourselves. Another family arrived shortly after, but it was still very relaxed and easygoing. The process was super simple. You can make a reservation, but we just walked in without any issues. We did the white background setup for 15 minutes, which was perfect and definitely a must if you're taking photos with little kids. There were a few technical difficulties during our session, but the staff member was incredibly accommodating. He paused the timer and gave us those minutes back so we didn't lose any of our shoot time. The pricing is great too! The package includes 2 people and 3 printed 4x6 photos of your favorite shots. Additional people are only $5 each, but they didn't charge us for our toddler or newborn, which was such a nice surprise. One of the best parts is that you get access to download every single digital photo from your session, not just a select few.

The parking lot is consistently busy, so finding a spot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: The studio is located inside the AR Gallery. Once you enter the AR Gallery, you'll see the studio on your right. They have an extremely small space with two rooms. One room features white walls, and the other room features colored backgrounds. There's many props from headbands and hats to chairs and stools and more! Some props can use a cleaning, but you can't really see it in the photos. Service: I decided to do a walk-in, so I didn't book an appointment or prepay online. They only take walk-ins starting at 11:30. They're not busy on weekdays but busier during the weekends. I completely forgot his name, but the worker that checked me in was nice, efficient, and knowledgable about the offerings. They provide a large screen with gridlines, lighting, and a small remote. They'll give you a timer, so you'll know exactly how much time you have left during your session. Studio Session & Photos: I chose the 5 minute session with the colored background. You'd choose two colors out of five options. Since I chose the colored walls, let the worker know when you're ready to switch colors. They'll pause the timer, switch the background, and continue the timer. The small remote is easy to hide in the photos. The lighting is perfect, and the photos came out amazing! Pricing: All details and prices are on their website. It's easy to book an appointment online. Since my birthday was three days away, the worker gave me a 10% discount. They also offer other discounts. All details are listed on their website. Highly recommend this studio!
