PHOTOS TO CELEBRATE YOU EXACTLY AS YOU ARE

EST. 2013

Your wedding holds tradition, ritual, and all the little pieces that make it unmistakably yours.

I photograph it with empathy and an artist’s eye—so the light, the laughter, and the quiet in-between moments live on as modern heirlooms. Not just how it looked, but how it felt.

AIMEE CUSTIS

Photography, for me, is part empathy, part orchestration.

Since 2013, I’ve documented weddings with a painter’s eye for light and storyteller’s heart for connection, creating images that feel timeless, true, and alive with emotion.

I guide my couples with calm direction and a genuine care for their story, so every frame reflects both how it looked and how it felt—artful, effortless, and unmistakably yours.

My approach honors both the art and the feeling of your story—so you feel completely seen, supported, and at ease from the first conversation to the moment you unwrap your heirloom album.

STEP INSIDE MY STORY

“Aimee stopped at nothing to get the perfect shot but she also did not make us feel like we were on display, and she did not impose on our intimate moments.  She got the shots without interrupting the day. It was so beautiful to relive the moment.”

Artistry isn’t about the “perfect” shot—it’s about truth. The genuine moments that make your wedding meaningful. The laughter, glances, and quiet pauses that form your legacy. Every image crafted to reflect the truest version of who you are.

THE AIMEE CUSTIS EXPERIENCE

PRESERVING YOUR MEANINGFUL MOMENTS WITH ARTISTRY & EASE

Beautiful photos are only the beginning. The true magic happens when your photographer deeply understands your story—and translates it into images that feel alive for generations. My process is guided by curiosity, intuition, and connection, ensuring your day unfolds naturally while I quietly preserve its soul.

Here's how that comes to life:

01. Connection

First, we’ll connect for a conversation about your day—your priorities, vision, and values. It’s a chance for both of us to ensure we’re the right fit before the story begins.

02. CUSTOMIZATION

Then, I’ll craft a custom proposal tailored to your vision and priorities. It’s clear, thoughtful, and easy to share—so everyone involved feels aligned from the start.

03. COMMUNICATION

As your day approaches, you’ll be able to count on me every step of the way—keeping you in the loop, offering guidance when needed, and making sure you always feel supported and confident about what comes next.
