We hired Augie as our wedding photographer this past summer, and we couldn't have been happier with our selection. Augie was simply AMAZING. Since we were planning our wedding (which took place in the Bay Area) from DC, we were forced to meet with potential vendors during a few weekend trips out to SF. As soon as we met with Augie, we knew that he was the photog for us. In addition to having a top-notch portfolio, he just seemed like the perfect fit personality-wise. We knew that our photog was going to be someone that we would spend the entire day with at our wedding, and we wanted to make sure it was someone we were comfortable with.

Augie included an Engagement Session as part of our package, and we decided to fly him out to DC for it so that we'd have a set of pictures in the city we live in and met at. The E-session was a full day of shooting in Georgetown and the U Street Corridor. We could not believe it when Augie actually emailed us teaser photos later that night - talk about a fast turnaround. Clearly, he didn't need to spend days photoshopping his work - he's that good. We were so happy with the pictures and even had Augie produce a signature book using the photos that we had our guests sign at our wedding.

For the wedding itself, Augie and his team were perfect. He came to our hotel and took shots of my bridesmaids and me getting ready, as well as my husband and his groomsmen. Then he took our "first look" and Bridal Party shots at a nearby Japanese Tea Garden before heading over to the wedding venue. Once we got to the venue, we were able to get through most of the planned family shots before the actual ceremony - Augie and his team were so good at wrangling people up and getting the shots done efficiently. The rest of the day and evening were just as perfect as the start of the day. Augie was unobtrusive but still managed to get all of the shots that we wanted.

I HIGHLY recommend Augie. We actually just received our final photos a couple weeks ago, and are blown away by his work. We consider Augie a friend after working together with him, and have anointed him our photog for life.

Le's Kitchen Catering was definitely a superstar wedding vendor. There are not enough words to convey just how happy we are with the job that Ava and her team did during our wedding on July 23, 2011. Le's Kitchen catering was one of the first vendors we booked, as we were just blown away during our tasting. We had to have them!

We chose to do the three course seated meal menu. The food was amazing!!!!!!!!! Ava and her entire team were so on top of everything and professional. Almost everyone at the wedding was impressed with the food they had. We got a lot of "that was the best wedding food I've ever had!", "the appetizers were sooo good!", and "where did you guys find these guys, they are amazing!" The filet mignon was delicious and grilled perfectly. The sea bass just melted in your mouth. The vegetarians we had were also super happy with the vegetarian clay pot they had.

We also hired two bartenders through Ava to work our open bar. The bartenders were great too - those guys handled all those chilled shots requests without breaking a sweat. Ava definitely runs a tight ship! It's clear that she leads by example - out there managing everything while staying calm and collected. Very impressive.

Ava is also such a sweetheart and really great to work with. She was always available to answer any questions we might have, by email or phone call, and she was so knowledgeable and helpful in our discussions with her about all the other items we would need to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch. G and I were planning our wedding from across the country, so Ava was also great about being available to meet in person any time we happened to be in town. Le's Kitchen Catering may be on the pricier side, but they are totally and completely worth it. Your guests will definitely be as impressed as ours were!!!!
