I actually don't know where to start because Aja was everything we wanted and more in a photographer! My husband and I just got married on 8/8/26 and Aja absolutely delivered. She was so sweet and so easy to work with. Not only are her photos stunning, but Aja took such good care of us every time we were shooting with her (engagement shoot and wedding day). Her and Sydney and Andy were the best photo team on the big day. My husband and I had never taken professional photos like this before, so Aja helped us pose and feel comfortable and have so much fun, enough where we were SHOCKED by how good we looked when the photos came back. Seriously, we look amazing and I couldn't be happier. Aja is also so organized and responsive. She provided us with a timeline for the wedding day and had us fill out a shot list of all the people we wanted to get photos with to make sure we didn't miss anyone. Also, when the dancing started, my bustle broke and it was Aja who helped stuff my dress into itself so I could party the rest of the night! And she made it look good! I can't sing her praises enough. I highly highly recommend! read more

Aja and her team were absolutely AMAZING to work with!!! She shot our wedding last weekend in Temecula and got the sneak peaks to us shortly after, which all turned out SO beautifully. Aja was very helpful with posing, had many creative ideas for the shots and was super easy to communicate with. Highly recommend booking her for your event, you won't regret it!! read more

When we started planning our wedding, choosing the right photographer was one of the most daunting decisions. We had to stick to a budget, but also knew having great photos that would stand the test of time was a top priority for our day. My husband and I also had different photography style preferences, so in an effort to combine his likes (fine art style, light and airy) with mine (true color/dramatic, documentary, artistic) I reached out to 40 different photographers! As soon as we saw Aja's work and spoke to her on the phone, we knew we had finally found the right match for us that checked all the boxes. To start out, we had a very specific vision for our engagement shoot at an arcade bar and billiards hall. Aja was all in on this idea and she and Sydney spent so much time with us, giving amazing posing guidance, something we really wanted! They were also just super fun to spend time with, and Aja has an amazing eye, knowing within minutes of stepping into a location which shots are a must. We were thrilled with how our engagement photos came out! When it came time for the wedding, Aja continued to be incredibly communicative leading up to the event, taking time on the phone with us to go over the timeline and sending shot lists and detail checklists. On the day of the wedding, she and her team arrived early and delivered us nearly 900 photos! We had a large wedding party as well as family to wrangle and she was great at keeping everything moving quickly and utilizing every unique corner of our venue, the Oviatt. Everyone involved in our day was so impressed by the entire photography team's demeanor and talent, we all felt so comfortable! We quickly learned to trust the process because even a pose that might feel silly while doing it ended up looking amazing in the finished product! We can't stop looking over our beautiful photos and reliving our day. Every moment was captured as well as the emotions behind the moments, and we are so grateful and excited to display these amazing photos in our home for years to come. We would recommend Bairly Media to anyone, and we will definitely hire them again for any photo needs we have in the future! read more

My husband and I highly recommend working with Aja and her team! We aren't used to getting our pictures taken, so we were very nervous about how awkward we normally are in front of a camera, but Aja made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly how to direct us and made sure we looked our best to best capture the most important moments of our lives. For our wedding photos, we wanted a very classic and timeless vibe, have cute candid photos, and of course affordable. Aja checked all these boxes for us, which is SO RARE! plus she's SUPER easy to work with which I appreciate so much because I've seen my friends' wedding vendors and I gotta say, we're really glad we worked with Aja. She's amazing! read more

My sister-in-law used Bairly Media for her wedding and recommended them to me. I am so glad she did! Aja and her team are amazing! Aja was great to work with from the initial contact to explaining the different packages, to any additional things that we wanted last minute. My husband and I are both pretty camera shy and awkward, but Aja and her team gave us great direction during the engagement shoot and on our wedding day. We even got some sneak peeks back within the week! If anyone is thinking of booking, DO IT! Thank you so much for being such a huge part of our big day and capturing all of the special moments we'll remember forever! read more

I got married 10/10/21 at The Lakehouse San Marcos and I could not have dreamed of a better photographer. I knew from the very beginning that finding a good photographer was one of the most important things to me for my wedding so I researched and spoke to a LOT of photographers. I found Aja last minute and she was sooo sweet. She took the time to send me pictures from other weddings and answered all my questions. After we met via zoom I knew she was the one! I have ZERO regrets as my wedding pictures turned out SO BEAUTIFUL. I honestly could not have dreamed of having more beautiful wedding pictures. She is beyond blessed as a photographer but she was also amazing to me, my husband and my family (very understanding and patient as we made her wait a lot while we ran around with our heads cut off lol) Thank-you so much Aja and I am so grateful that we found you!!! read more

Words cannot describe how amazing & beautiful our wedding day pictures & video came out! Aja & her team were a joy to work with! They carried out everything with professionalism and ease & helped make the couple feel relaxed! Look no further for a talented & kind artist to capture your most precious moments! read more

Aja is so freakin talented, I firmly believe if she wasn't our photographer for our wedding it wouldn't have been what is was. We had a small little Covid wedding at a park and you would never know how small and ghetto it was from the pictures. She also basically coordinated the wedding for us, from setting up the alter with cute pillows and blankets to staging the first look. I'm so grateful to her. Seriously, she IS the best. Do yourself a favor and hire her before she is famous and her prices are higher cause the prices are a steal!! read more

My husband and I hired Aja to do our engagement photos and wedding! She was really easy to work with and was extremely responsive. She definitely helped us work through our timeline accurately. We hired her for 10 hours on our wedding day almost a year ago. We loved all the photos we got! She's definitely got the eye and her skills continue to improve! read more

I am so happy I chose Bairly Media to capture our wedding day! The photos are absolutely incredible and I couldn't be happier. Seriously... the photos look like they are straight out of a wedding magazine!! Also Aja and the second shooter were so helpful during my wedding day. Aja seriously knows what she's doing, she could be a wedding coordinator lol!! She was directing us and making sure we got all the pictures we wanted. My friends and family couldn't stop taking about how amazing the picture are!! It took less than 3 weeks to get my full wedding gallery back which is unheard of! I get to cherish these photos forever!! You will be so glad you chose Bairly Media to capture your big day! read more

Aja and her team were great to work with! We told her we were on a budget and she was so sweet to work with us. Aja was so nice on the phone and when we met her for the first time for our engagement shoot, we knew we chose the right person to spend 14 hours with on our wedding day. She has an eye to capture those special moments that you'll want to keep forever! The final photos and videos were sent to us in about 6 weeks, sooner than what her contract stated! We were so happy with all the photos and videos that Aja and her team were able to capture and will hold onto those memories forever. Thank you so much for being part of the best day ever! read more

Completely surpassed our expectations! My husband and I contracted Aja for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. She is quick to respond, very professional, and easy to work with. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured our precious moments so beautifully. 11/10 would definitely recommend! read more

Aja and her team were absolutely amazing! I started working with Aja 2 years before our wedding and she worked with us the whole way from rescheduling engagement photos due to being rained on & in constant communication and what to expect during the process. We received sneak peeks 3 days after the wedding and our whole album and videos 6 weeks later. Whenever we need Photographers in the future she will be our 1st call. read more

Bairly Media - Session Photography Near Me

We were lucky to find Aja just 4-5months before our wedding. With the pandemic the last year we had postponed our wedding plans. So when we had to hastily find a photographer, we searched across numerous media sites. Aja's Instagram caught our attention and we emailed her immediately. She was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. From our initial meet up she provided a clear breakdown of her pricing and what we could expect our galleries to include. We purchased her 8hr package that included an assistant photographer. Day of the wedding they arrived promptly on time to photograph the venue before our guests. She captured all the pre-ceremony shots quickly as we unfortunately were running a tad late. Safe to say they still came out amazing! Ceremony shots really captured the natural expressions and feelings of the event. The best part was how organized and streamlined they kept us during our family and couple photos! Ensuring that we utilized the hour plus time to the best of our ability. She really could be a coordinator if she wanted to! lol Our gallery was delivered as discussed in roughly 4 weeks, and we could not be happier with it all. All our relatives loved the photos! We highly recommend her services for all events! Thank you again, Aja! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Aja; she made our wedding day so special! I had about 25 other photographers reach out to me to shoot my minimony and I picked Aja not only because I liked her talent but she had fair pricing and I could just tell she truly cares about her craft/making the day perfect! I told her I didn't have much planned and she offered to let us borrow one of her beautiful rugs for the ceremony (wow! I loved it in our photos). - I said the location was a bit hard to find (we got lost ourselves) and Aja and her assistant showed up an hour early. - Extremely professional and experienced. It was just four family members in attendance so it was very casual, no timeline, but she knew the best time to do the ceremony with the best lighting and not only did we get to do the ceremony in the shade (it was 100 degrees that day) but it also made for amazing photos. I don't know we would have waited until the sun was perfect had she not been there! - They were aware of my covid precautious (my dad is high risk) and had no issues shooting distantly, wearing a mask/gloves, and capturing the "getting ready" photos outside. (she opened the French doors to the bedroom to get some inside shots ... how creative!) - We didn't give her a shot list because I thought I just wanted ceremony/couples pics/family pics but she recommended I take some photos of my dress/rings/shoes which I didn't care too much about at the time, but now I cannot believe I almost missed out on those photos! She knows what she's doing! I've already emailed the photos to my friends and family and everyone loved the styling of my wedding rings and especially the photo of my sister and I kissing my dad on the cheek (she told us to do that and I'm so thankful I have images like that, they are priceless!) - The entire time she had excellent communication, was so friendly, and responded quickly to any questions or inquiries. - On top of that, my photos were delivered SO FAST. I got them just in time for the weekend where we had to postpone our original date and I had these beautiful photos to keep me happy all day. Overall she just really put in 1000% effort in everything she did from start to finish. My family and my now husband and I are over the moon with her. Thank you Aja and team! read more

Looks like she is good but i guess i wont know. We talked about booking for my wedding date but we had family stuff going on so werent ready to book in the moment. She told us she would let is know it anybody else became interested in the date but she never did so we thought we'd be ok. Few months later messaged to book and she said she was booked. Don't tell people you will let them know if someone else is interested if you wont. Really crappy. Have no photographer now for our big day. I know it has been a few months but we would have found a way to do a deposit had she told us someone else was intetested. read more

Aja was a great, fun, and well organized photographer! She was super flexible and helpful with details and stuck to time frames. I really appreciated all her effort in making sure that my mini-mony went smoothly. She took beautiful pictures of literally everything, I can not even explain how much my family and I LOVE all of the photos she captured for us! Aja is also incredibly affordable, which is another great reason why you should totally hire her to capture your special moments. Seriously, like, book her now! Thank you Aja! read more

If I could add more stars I truly Would! She was incredible from doing our engagement pictures to our wedding, even with COVID restrictions she made everything feel like it was perfect! And it was! We laughed and had a blast catching so many precious moments, the pictures are just beautiful, absolutely breathtaking. I am so thankful for you for all hard work being so loving and patience with 4 kids trying to get in pictures not a moment I had to worry or stress, she caught moments I didn't even know or see and so thankful for those! read more

I am obsessed with all of my product shots that she delivered! She did an amazing job capturing not only products but the vibe of my small business as whole! read more

Aja was an AMAZING videographer! She and her team made a beautiful highlight video that our friends and family loved! We also got a full video of the really important parts of our wedding- our vows, first dance, father daughter dance, and speeches. She captured all the feelings of the day perfectly. I was stunned how gorgeous the videos were. She was really a wonderful person to work with as well, as she is kind, professional, and level headed. I truly would recommend Bairly Media for anyone who wants a fabulous videographer for their wedding. Thank you Aja!!! read more

Incredibly amazing team! My husband and I used Bairly Media for our wedding photos and videography, and we'd definitely use them again for any occasion. My husband can feel awkward sometimes in front of a camera, but Aja and her team made it fun and enjoyable for us and everyone else that took photos/video roll with us. We received sneak peaks the very next day and they were all phenomenal shots. We felt like we could have been models on a magazine cover. Would give 100 stars if we could. read more

Aja was amazing! Extremely flexible and easy to work with. Super prompt with all of the questions that we had leading up to our wedding. We love our photos and cannot believe that she was able produce such high-quality photos for an amazing price! During the wedding, despite our shortened timeline with our venue, Aja and her team worked extremely efficiently and got all of the shots that we wanted. She made us feel very comfortable during our photo sessions, a difficult thing to do for my wife and myself as we're both naturally pretty awkward. However, Aja's calm and friendly demeanor had us feeling instantly comfortable making our photos look great. She also turned the photos around in 2 weeks, so we were able to enjoy the photos while on our honeymoon! I would 100% recommend Aja for anyone looking for a wedding photographer which I have, in fact, already been doing! read more

I cannot describe how thankful I am for having Aja be our videographer. She was so responsive and organized.

She worked closely with my photographer before the wedding and during, as well as with our DJ the day of. We absolutely love our highlight video and our family and friends couldn't agree more. Aja is so talented and we are forever thankful for her capturing these memories. Thank Aja, you truly are the best! read more

When we had to pivot from a destination wedding to a backyard elopement due to Covid-19, I had to pick a photographer with only a month's advance notice. Being Black and my husband white, I really wanted someone who would understand how to light us so that we both looked amazing. I immediately had a good feeling about Aja and Bairly Media and I am so happy we chose her to be our photographer. She was super communicative throughout the process before the wedding. On the day of, she showed up early to scout locations and she and her assistant were super professional. She made us feel so comfortable and had a predetermined list of shots, but also was able to go with the flow. She sent us a sneak peek of about 15 photos the very next day and I knew we were going to have an amazing album. About two weeks later, we received our full album of about 250 photos. They are all amazing. Seriously. They are all frame-worthy and I don't know how we're going to decide which ones to do. With all the chaos and uncertainty of trying to get married during a pandemic, she was such a god-send. I could not be happier! read more

Initially we thought we could save some money and not hire a videographer for our wedding. But after finding Bairly Media and watching some of their videos we were convinced that we needed to hire them for our wedding. And they definitely exceeded our expectations! Rather than having the entire wedding filmed we wanted a short memorable video taking all the best parts and highlighting them. They did this, and beyond. They used drone shots, video editing, directing shots, adding music, and most importantly filmed us and truly captured the essence of the day while helping us look our best. It was also not easy trying to take care of our 4 month old baby during a wedding but Aja was so understanding and patient as we ran around to deal with the chaos. We really appreciated the fact they were still able to manage getting a clip of us with our baby, it truly meant a lot. We have rewatched our video multiple times with the same effect of crying since it really touches our heart. Thank you Bairly Media team for being right there with us and making this process easy. read more

Aja was by far the best photographer to work with for a photo shoot! Not only is she professional and very caring of her customers, but she makes you feel like a priority. Before the photo session she asked me what I wanted to do (vision wise) and even though I did not have a lot to offer creatively, she ended up picking locations that related so well to me. Additionally, she is very friendly, easy-going, and laid-back which made me feel comfortable with the entire process. The photos came back quick and so professional that I cannot wait to book her again! read more

I booked Aja for my wedding about a month ago and the whole experience was absolutely amazing. She was responsive, organized, professional, prompt, and SO talented as a photographer. I love her bright airy style that was so effortless for her to create. She was so good at "reading the room" with all of the crazy family that is always involved in wedding photos and made a point of making me feel like I was in control of what happened next! I would highly recommend her for ANY photo shoot! read more

We are so incredibly happy with Aja's incredible work for our wedding photos. Before our wedding, she was incredibly responsive to any question that I had. I would receive replies within the same day, if not the same hour, for every email that I sent. She was so friendly and flexible about our timing changes for the wedding day. On the wedding day itself, she came early so that she could find the best spots for us to take pictures. It was extremely clear that she had done her research about our venue ahead of time so that for our photo shoot, we could make the most of our time. she captured every important moment of our special day from getting ready to our reception. When we received our photo album from her, we were incredibly impressed by the beauty of the pictures. there are no words to describe how grateful we are to have had someone so amazing as Aja for our wedding. Her price was also incredibly reasonable, one of the best prices we found in our extensive research of wedding photographers. I highly recommend her. I also wanted to mention that the online photo gallery that she uses is fantastic. It allowed me to send links to anyone I wanted to share my pictures with easily. Anyone can download high-resolution photos for free from our photo album. It saved us a ton of time in sending individual pictures to each person or trying to save photos one by one. The photos in this online gallery can also be uploaded directly to Google photos, which also made our lives easier. read more

All we can say is WOW!! Aja was amazing. We booked her for our elopement but due to COVID, we had to change up the plans a couple of times. She was super super sweet and fun to photograph with. She was very flexible, affordable and just a joy to work with overall. She took us to beautiful places and had such creative ideas which in the end made the photos end up so beautiful. We 110% would recommend booking her for any shoot, my husband and I loved her and had so much fun. read more
