If you're getting married in the Pittsburgh area, go book Aaron Varga right now. If you're getting…read moremarried in Hawaii or Europe or Timbuktu...then go book Aaron Varga right now and pay whatever it takes to get him there. The man's a magician behind the lens and does things I didn't even know you could do without massive amounts of Photoshop. If you want the wedding photos your parents have with boring, static, and mundane everyone-look-at-the-camera-and-smile pictures then by all means hire some other schmuck. Or better yet, just give a point-and-shoot to your grandma and have her take the pictures. But if you want the photos that wow strangers and make the people who turned down your invitation jealous for not making it, hire Aaron Varga. He won't just help you remember your special day, he'll make it more special. Verbal reviews from random friends who saw our pictures: "You've got the best engagement and wedding photos I've ever seen." "You're photographer was so nice." "Did you see your photographer laying down in the middle of the street to get that shot? It came out so good." "How did he make the sky look so pretty?" The list goes on. He excelled in the other stuff that matters too. His communication was superb - responding to emails and checking up better than any other vendor we had. And while he may have looked like a creeper while he was taking pictures of us behind shrubs, he couldn't have been nicer, funnier, or make us feel more comfortable. Seriously...you're wasting time. Contact him right now and if he's already booked on your wedding date...change your wedding date. Wedding 6.7.14 Adam and Shannon

What really made having him on our wedding team was his willingness to always go the extra step. He was so thoughtful and helpful throughout our entire wedding as well as the prep leading up to it.

I had a fantastic shoot at Opya Studios. The studio was clean, with a variety of backdrops. Most…read moreimportantly for me as a photographer, the natural light in the studio was fantastic. A skylight that gave a wonderful diffused light, with lots of white walls that really filled in shadows well. I normally shoot with a lot of lighting equipment, and it just wasn't necessary at the location due to the natural light. Lastly, Jasano was a fantastic host. He showed me around the studio, made sure I had what I needed. Excellent wifi, and bluetooth, because how can one shoot without music. Thanks again, I will be back next time I'm in Pittsburgh.

I'll do one. I love Lawrenceville and the history and the feel, so when I started Googling Pittsburgh photographers, and found one that shoots in Lawrenceville, I thought I'd give it a go. Dawn wasn't the only photographer I used in an attempt to get a headshot that I found even mildly flattering, but her photos are the only ones I use. She made me feel comfortable and understood exactly what I was looking for. That picture over there? My profile photo? That's her handiwork. She's a wonderful photographer-- puts her subjects at ease and delivers a beautiful product. Thanks, Dawn!

My grandma ( the twins great grandma) lives in Pittsburgh and we go see her 2x a year,, winter and summer. In the summer we like to take a family photo. My cousin from Connecticut and her twins drive to Pittsburgh and sometimes my Aunt and Uncle so we have a fairly large group. M&M comes to us! Which is a huge blessing with a 97 year old grandma and 4.5 year old twins and 19 month ( mine) twins we need someone on location. These photographers are amazing ! Getting 4 children to look at a camera and smile is a miracle, they do it! They are always on time and stay as long as we need. They take a mixture of candid and posed which I love! This time when we were "done" the twins decided to put their little feet in the pool, Savanah the amazing photographer, immediately whipped out her Camera and started snapping. I LOVE those pictures! The pictures are available in a gallery so fast we received them before we even returned to California! The only downside to M&M is every single picture in the gallery is amazing so you have to buy all of them! Which isn't so bad after all! We will back next summer and will be sure to book with M&M again! You should book with them too! Oh did mention I booked last minute AND they are super affordable!

She also made me feel like a princess by taking so many pictures of my hands. I hope she will ask me to model for her in the future:)
