My experience with LiquidLightImages was extremely professional, friendly, and flexible. I coordinated with Aaron to do a Christmas staff photo shoot for U.S.VETS - Barber's Point at Koolau Golf Club, and he gladly offered our request of pro bono service to give back to the community. Despite his busy schedule, he came prepared with all his equipment at 9am to shoot various group photos. He managed to position all 32 staff members and even suggested different areas of the golf course to take photos. We got our photos back via his webpage within the day of the photo shoot in high quality with great lighting. Aaron definitely went beyond our expectations!

I am a wedding/event coordinator and have worked with a few photographers and other wedding vendors. I've worked with Aaron a bunch of times I can't count. He just did one of my client's wedding in June and did a great job. Very professional, accommodating, creative, fun, easy to work with. A lot of the photographers now over process or over do photoshop work on their photos, not Aaron. He does just enough retouch or balancing when needed.
He has a creative eye and am open to anything the couple wants to do. His trash the dress sessions are FUN too! Aaron works well with other vendors also. I've met/worked with some wedding vendors that are not very nice, not team players. Aaron is a team player and knows that the most important thing is what the couple wants and making their day special. I would definitely recommend Aaron Bernard Liquidlightimages Photography for your wedding or event!
