Welcome - Aurora Photography and Design
Are you here because you are planning the wedding of your dreams or do you just love gorgeous images? Whichever grouping you fall into, you are in the right place; at the right time.
Welcome, to our family.
Being a professional photographer, I have seen many emotions, from the tears of joy, love, and excitement on a wedding day- to the exhaustion, fears, and love of your expanding family. These qualities are what makes photography what it is to me. I want to capture the raw real emotion in your life, those are the memories you want to remember and relive for generations to come. Besides who wants to have photographs showing their fake selfie smiles to enlarge on their walls or in their family albums over the years. Photographing our clients is the most rewarding thing to me. There's not a wedding day that I don't get goose chills when looking at the love among our couples. The friendships and relationships we build last long past your wedding day and I'm glad to see you are still scrolling with us.
Our photo family is not your typical experience, it is so much more than that. We are so much more than just photographers.
I capture REAL emotions, and REAL memories as they happen.
My mission is to create the most genuine images of you. My style is clean, crisp, and full of color. Every image that I capture is planned for a place printed in your home. My photography is often described as timeless, which I believe is the greatest compliment someone can give. My passion is documenting your story for your future generations to enjoy.

The Aurora Client Experience
When you are booking a photographer- you are also gaining their wealth of knowledge and resources. For us, we are not just photographers but we like to build relationships to last well past your session. Many clients add us on Social Media to hang out. During your planning, we offer unlimited consultations, and timeline assistance customized for your individual needs. We like to make sure your event goes as smoothly as possible, and have been known to have a few tricks up our sleeve such as pinning boutonnieres, bustling wedding dresses, and making sure mischief is managed so the groom cannot see his bride pre-first look. Our job does not end there, we then move on to preserving your memories, editing them, and then creating flawless wall art, albums, and gift prints for all your needs.

Meet Your Photographers
Hello, we are Jennifer & Aaron and our story together began way back when in 2004. Through the years we have danced at many weddings together, purchased our first home, married on a cool October Wednesday in 2013, honeymooned in Puerto Rico, and rescued three fur babies. We love getting the opportunity of getting to work together to capture your love. It’s the little things like when Jenn can just glance (or glare) at Aaron and he knows right where she wants him to be; to capture the moment. Or when he will climb (or crawl) through all kinds of muck so she doesn’t have to in a dress. Not to mention all those yummy meals for the Photo Reveal Sessions- Aaron is pretty great at ordering grub!
