A Perfect Impression

Aaron and his team were awesome! They were so helpful during the wedding day with pictures and scheduling. They really went above and beyond and were professional, fun and courteous. We even got sent 5 preview pics the VERY next morning after our wedding. Which everyone really enjoyed when we were passing them around at the post wedding brunch.

Oh me geeeee! We are in awe by how great our photographer was from API sales! We had Cathy and she was incredible. She got the best shots, and knew how to get the best lighting for our wedding photos. she has been doing this for so long and it was definitely evident. I loved her! Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer!
If I could give 10 stars I would! She is hands down the best photographer I have ever met, or have seen at a wedding. I cannot say enough good things about her. Words just do not describe how phenomenal she is!
My mom surprised us with a videographer also from API sales. They were also so spectacular! I am not sure what the videographers name was, but everywhere I looked he was there videoing! I am so pleased with the efforts of this company to make our day truly unforgettable!

Aaron, Andy and David were AWESOME! Photo and video were 2 things that were so important to us on our wedding day! It was 2 expenses that we took very seriously! Leading up to our Wedding, Vanessa went above and beyond to help reassure me that everything would be perfect. She even helped set up a photo meeting so we could come out to Danville and meet with Andy for that extra piece of mind. After that meeting, the week of the wedding we hit a communication snag but Aaron overcame my concerns by leaps and bounds! Holy moly! I can’t even begin to explain how grateful we are for his dedication to us, our wedding and our priceless moments! I had Andy and David in my suite while I got dressed and they could not have been better at making me feel comfortable and not stressed about the photos or video at all! My husband got Aaron in his room when he got ready and Aaron pulled double duty for us and did photo and video of the groom and groomsmen getting dressed! He even made my husbands day (other than getting married, of course) and was there to get a priceless 1^st look of my husband and his mother and sister after not seeing them in many years! It still brings tears to our eyes that they were able to capture that moment. If course at the ceremony I lost track of everything and everyone other than my husbands face but I’m positive that they got great shots there too just because they did such a great job assuring us that everything would be perfect. We got lucky with the weather and Andy was able to use the beach and waves as our backdrop after the ceremony. I just can’t say enough great things about this teams dedication and customer service for us. They all went SO far above and beyond for us… Literally… My husband shot the garter up on the rafters and they helped use equipment to get it down… How great is that?!? It is all an irreplaceable experience! We can’t wait to see what they did with the photos and video when they are ready so we can relive our wedding day forever!

I got married at this past Saturday and Aaron was the photographer for my wedding. I can’t say enough wonderful things about him. He was fantastic! I have already received 2 emails from him with some «sneak peek» photos and I must say they look amazing! If you need a photographer for your wedding this is your guy. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

We met with Natalia, she was great. My fiancé isn’t a fan of taking pics but she made him so comfortable he asked if we could have her for the day of our wedding. She had so many great ideas and the best part is she speaks Russian and english, which will make communication on the day of the wedding incredibly easy for all of us. Cant wait to see our pics

My Husband and I got married at Monestary Beach on 10÷10÷15 we decided to use API since they were on our venues perferred vendor list. Our photographer for the day was Natalya and she was absolutley amazing! We couldnt have been happier! She was so organized and was able to get all the shots that my husband and I wanted for our special day! Not only did she do everything we wanted, she was SOOO nice! All of our family and friends loved her she really is amazing! We are so happy that we decided to use API and that we were lucky enough to have such a great photographer! We will definetly be referring them to friends and family! Thanks again Natalya!

API is an excellent company and Aaron is a professional who delivers top of the line service. API has taken over 13 years of our family photos and we always feel so at ease and comfortable with Aaron which always comes through in our photos. With 3 daughters moving into the next phases of their own lives we expect weddings to begin in the next 5 years and there is no doubt in any of our minds who will be trusted with capturing the most important day in our girls lives, they love Aaron. I am confident API will be taking many years to come of photos for our family and milestone events. We couldn’t ask for better service and for a better photographer who has always made us feel like friends and not clients.

Aaron and John were the photographers who captured our wedding, and we couldn’t be any happier with the results. The pictures are amazing!
Aside from the obvious end results, I will also tell you how much of a pleasure it was working with API.
From start to finish Aaron has been an absolute delight to work with. Very professional and extremely accommodating. I met with him in person two times to go over our schedule and to look through my assorted ‘must-​have-​photographs-​list’.
He assured us he would deliver and after making me feel comfortable with hi also ensured us he would personally shoot our wedding.
Which he did. Not only did he and John go above and beyond to get the pictures we wanted, they also were a great addition to our wedding. They knew what they were doing and helped us out in any way they could. I am happy to mention Aaron even tied my husbands tie on our big day to make sure it looked perfect!
If you are not sure where to go for the perfect photography deal for your big day, hire API. Without a doubt!
Wedding photography packages can be extremely expensive and compared to other photographers I liked this was actually the best deal. And by far the best price. We got two photographers with staggered start times to make sure our entire day was covered start to finish. And I didn’t find any other photographers who even offered that option.
So brides to be, look no farther! A Perfect Impression will capture the Perfect Impression of your magical day!

Andy was amazing! He was really attentive and must have taken 10,000 photos. He was always wherever the action was taking place but I never even noticed he was there. We just got the preview from our May 29^th wedding in Napa and we could not be happier with how they came out. We definitely recommend him!

Thank you Aaron for our beautiful engagement photos and wedding videography. The video drones were a plus. And we are so happy with our night photos

I got married in June of 2012 at Wedgewood in Brentwood. This photographer is who they suggested, but we didn’t have to use them if we didn’t want to. I went and met with the company and looked at previous wedding photos that they have shot. I really liked them.
We paid for an extra hour this way we could get all the photos we wanted. My photos came out amazing. I don’t remember the photographers name that came, but she did a good job. She got all the photos we wanted (except for one, which is no biggie at all).
I would recommend this company to anyone. I actually did today as a matter of fact, which made me Unilocal them.
It’s been almost 3 years since I’ve been married and have yet to order my wedding photos. I’m so bad! But, I need to get I. There and order them. Hopefully they still have them. :)

This Unilocal is long over due. We got married on June 22, 2013, Aaron was beyond amazing! It has been over a year and I still look at my pictures at least once a month and fall in love with them all over again. I cannot say enough about him and his staff. Thank you!!!

It occurred to me AFTER our shoot to check out Unilocal.We’ll no surprise here to see how highly recommended they are. Love, love, love our pics! Aaron from API took our family pics this Christmas season and I can not say enough about how beautiful they are. Not only was he friendly and easy to work with but he did an amazing job catching the Fall colors, took the photos at a great perspective and got my goofy family to all smile at once :)
I highly recommend API!!, You won’t be disappointed!

Aaron and his wonderful team did a fabulous job at our wedding this past weekend. I was in constant communication with them throughout the planning process and they were speedy in response and super friendly and helpful.
On the big day, they were on time and super organized. They were also very friendly and made the day very fun. I also did some price shopping and I definitely think they are very reasonable for what they offer. I added some additional magazine books too when their team noted a special pricing. I am so excited to see the pictures and books!
Thank you API! We really had a blast. You guys are amazing! I definitely recommend them as your wedding photographer!

My wife and I were married two years ago. I haven’t written a review yet, but I haven’t forgotten about how excellent API is. We enlisted their DJ services, and it was such a good idea. Everything was perfect.
*Our particular DJ met with us in advance and made us feel completely confident. He was very attentive in making sure he was well versed in exactly what we wanted. He guided us through the process of figuring songs out by giving excellent advice.
*Our venue was having a few issues with their power, but our DJ was able to troubleshoot everything quickly AND keep ramp up the energy to keep the dance party going for hours amidst the jam-​killing power problems at our venue!
*This service was very professional and affordable compared to what is out there. Sadly, I have been to way too many friend’s weddings where the DJ is a joke. It seriously ruins the night. This is probably one of the most important vendor choices you will make since DJs basically coordinate your wedding timeline, move things along, and keep the party going. After having seen other atrocious DJs I am soooo happy we went with API!
*API’s DJ’s emcee skills were off the charts exceptional.
I actually officiate weddings from time to time and have seen some of the API crew out and about shooting photos. We didn’t use their photographers or videographers but I can attest to their professionalism and expertise in this area because I have seen them in action!
Thanks for making our wedding so stress-​free and awesome! Go API!

We used perfect impression for our wedding which took place at Casa Real in March. We met with Aaron in June of 2011 and we instantly liked him and his photography style. Aaron was very responsive (i.e. I didn’t have to wait weeks to hear back from him when we were setting up the initial meetings). We decided to also have Aaron shoot our engagement shots. Aaron was super engaging during our shoot — he gave great direction but he also was open to what we wanted. For example last minute I thought to bring a scrabble board with us and I thought Aaron would think I was crazy but he saw it and ran with it and some of our favorite photos are of us in the park playing scrabble!
The turnaround time to get our engagement photos was quick! We then met with Aaron a few weeks before our wedding and set up the timeline and what photos we would be looking for. I am very type A so of course I had a list of who exactly I wanted in photos and again he ran with it. (You also fill out a work sheet which helps quite a bit!)
Aaron and Katie both shot our wedding and both were wonderful! I can not express how easy it was to work with both of them. Aaron had some amazing ideas like using umbrellas and fantastic lighting. Everything went so smooth on our wedding day it was so fantastic to have wonderful vendors including Aaron & Katie.
Now to the quality of our photos — they did not disappoint! Again we received our photos in a timely fashion and they were perfect! We loved so many of them! I will say Aaron shoots in a very natural way which is exactly they style we wanted!
I would definitely recommend A Perfect Impression hands down!

I have had the pleasure of working with API both professionally and personally, and they are nothing short of fantastic! Aaron shot our family photos as well and he was so patient with our 1.5 year old son; we really had fun with our photo shoot! You can really tell Aaron takes a lot of pride in his work, and he captured my family’s personality perfectly.
I have also worked in the wedding business for the past 7 years so I have worked with tons of photographers. They are notorious for being on their own timeline and having the own agenda, and completely messing up a timeline, but NOT API! All their photographers are extremely personable, kind and very flexible! You will not be disappointed when you hire API for any of the services they offer. You will not only get GORGEOUS photos, but they will aid in making your event PERFECT!!!

My husband and I got married at Wedgewood San Ramon in November of 2009 and we had engagement pictures done in June of 2009. They both turned out wonderfully. I have a bunch of them framed all over my bedroom. We are very pleased by the work that was done by Aaron and his staff and we would not hesitate to recommend them to our friends and family.
Our DJ also did a great job! I’ve had a lot of people tell me that my wedding was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding before and that the music was excellent.

We hired API to DJ and photograph our wedding back in August. It is such a pleasure to work with these guys and it all starts with Aaron. He is the owner and he was my main contact person throughout the entire planning process of our big day. He is easy to talk to and really became our main party planner because he had so many ideas to offer us. He put together a time-​line to help us get an idea of how things would flow on our wedding day. He made it all seem a lot less daunting and overwhelming, which was very helpful to us.
On the day of our wedding, Aaron came with Benjamin and they photographed our ceremony and reception as a team. The photos are AMAZING. I didn’t know I could look that good. Who is that? Oh that’s me! My wife and family all looked fantastic. These guys’ ability to use various shooting styles (photo-​journalistic, natural light, artistic posed, romantic posed) is impressive. I couldn’t have asked for better pictures.
Our DJ was Jason and he was very professional. Having him stay in touch the weeks up to the wedding was important and I was very pleased with the amount of contact he maintained with me in organizing the songs, flow of the evening, etc. He came dressed to impress, spoke clearly and confidently on the mic and kept the night moving. What a great time it was.
I would definitely use A Perfect Impression again for another event, whether it be DJ, photography or both. They do studio shots in Danville too, so my wife and I might check them out for some Christmas photos. I am definitely impressed!

This company is the one that provided the music entertainment for our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah at Wedgewood in San Ramon. This is a new-​ish company with Wedgewood and since we were doing a Bat Mitzvah instead of a wedding, Aaron, the owner followed up with me time and again to reassure and ensure that he was on top of the needs of the mostly teen guests.
Aaron communicated perfectly and had 2 DJ’s working the party. Both guys were great and flexible. When the kids decided they wanted to dance and not do more games, no more games were done (no questions asked).
This company also provides photography, videography services along with DJ services. Fantastic service and fun!
