We got thee most breath taking photos for the wedding. Communication too notch and as an artist she allowed me to be myself in capturing the scene. One of thee best experience 2nd shooting and she PAYS ON TIME! Chef kiss

    The Absolute B E S T

    I can't imagine walking down the aisle with a better photographer, she literally wears all the hats! She arrived an hour early and everything was a mess, she hopped right in and helped us decorate and got the best detail shots. I was a total wreck and having a meltdown and she was the only person that could calm me her voice was so soothing, and she just made sense. She means it when she says she won't let anything bother you on your big day. I wish she was local to us but we gladly pay her travel fees, she's stuck with us for life!

    Amazing

    We initially hired Whitney as our officiant, and she showed up with her camera. We hired a photographer but she was THE photographer. She stepped right in and she is amazing at what she does and is very professional. I am so glad we found her. 1000/10 would recommend her for any event

    Happy wife happy life

    My wife tasked me with finding a photographer for our vow renewal and I came across Whitney’s website and I’m so glad I did. Whitney was patient and had no problem explaining the ins and outs for me. She made me look amazing both to my wife and in the photos 10/10 recommend Ardent Aesthetics Photography for everything! She just did my wife’s maternity photos she’s basically family at this point.
