agaton strom

If photography were a an arcade game, Agaton's name would display as the High Score. If photography were a sport, the coveted championship trophy would be named 'The Agaton'. If photography was a diet, skinny people would be referred to as "Agatons". Okay, I'm not sure if the last suggestion made much sense, but the point is that Agaton Strom is an excellent photographer. We were lucky to book him about 7 months in advance of our wedding and the cost was very reasonable given the quality of his talent. He captured our wedding day with candid photographs that had edge and personality. ...just what we had asked for. He also has this uncanny ability to stealthily move about for the best angles without noticing him much, like a photo ninja. Impressive considering he was one of the taller individuals at our wedding. About 6-8 weeks after the wedding we received our proof book from him, and he also took the time to create a bonus slideshow that he posted to his website. It was great to have the slideshow to email out to our guests.
We strongly recommend meeting with Agaton before you book any other photographer for your next event. We are so happy with his work!

Agaton was delightful to work with! Our wedding pictures were absolutely perfect--Agaton not only captured all the details of what was happening, but the emotion behind each moment. His pictures are beautiful, and in keeping with his photo-journalism approach, he was completely unobtrusive. We have hundreds of beautiful pictures that completely captured our wedding from start to finish. We would use him again in a heartbeat.

Agaton was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for! His work is incredible, he is a pleasure to be around, and he has a true passion for his craft! All of our friends and family members are obsessed with the pictures, which incorporate both modern and classical elements and are truly unique. He is flexible and affordable, but most importantly, he loves his work, which is reflected in his photos. I would highly recommend Agaton!

Agaton was an amazing photographer and we've had such a great time working with him. From the beginning when we first selected him, it's been a great experience. He took our engagement pictures, and he had such great ideas for locations and backgrounds - they turned out wonderfully, and right away we knew we made the right choice in photographer. He is so friendly and easy to get along with. The on the actual wedding day, you hardly even noticed him (which was great since I didn't really want to be aware of every single picture being taken), and the pictures are amazing. So many people have complimented me on my wedding pictures. The photo journalistic style totally fit in with what we were looking for, and he got some amazing shots that people didn't even realize he was taking.

Great value too - he was definitely on the lower end of all of the photographers we were looking at. We got our engagement photos within a week I think and our wedding photos within 4 weeks. He also make sure to get you a disc with all of the digital files soon after he sends you the website where you can view your pictures. I HIGHLY recommend Agaton, and I'm going to be sad when our working relationship with him is over (we're still working on the album).

Agaton left a lasting impression on everyone at the wedding from the kids to my grandparents. They absolutely loved him, a true professional. I felt like he was part of the family.

Agaton Strom is a superb wedding photographer: able to capture the events of an entire day in a graceful and seamless manner, without drawing too much attention to himself. You will literally forget that he is there, and marvel later at how he managed to get such a range of candid, unique, well-composed shots. He combines the eye of an artist and the skill of a photojournalist, and he was a lovely presence at our wedding. He is amenable to specific requests as well as documentation of the day. He shot from the bride’s morning makeup session to the last dance at the reception. To top it all off, he provided us with complete digital files in both color and black and white, and will help us decide what kind of album to make from the images. My husband and I can’t recommend him enough.

Agaton was wonderful to work with, and I can not recommend him highly enough. We met with him and arranged a complimentary engagement shoot so we could all get to know one another before the wedding. My husband hates having his picture taken, and Agaton put him at ease with his kind, calm manner. The pictures were amazing, and we knew we were in good hands for the wedding.

On the wedding day, Agaton was with us from the beginning until the end. He brought in a terrific second shooter for a reasonable rate, and the pictures speak for themselves. He captured our day, and our guests and wedding party members all mentioned how great he was.

If you're looking for an easy-going photographer, who takes interesting more candid-style shots then Agaton is your man.

Agaton was wonderful to work with. My husband and I, and our families and friends, were so impressed with his talent, sincerity and pleasantness. In planning, Agaton was easy to talk to and always available for questions. On the day of, he was everywhere we needed to be; we were amazed at the fact that each time we turned to see if he could snap a shot of something, he was already standing there about to do it. With 250 guests, I was worried that Agaton and his assistant could not get around to capturing the entire essence of the party and all its guests, but they not only photographed so much, they did it so well. Our photos are rich, interesting, expressive and perfectly representative of the day. We are thrilled with Agaton's services and recommend him highly.

Agaton does quality work. We found him off the WPJA site. We recently had our engagement photo session with him and the pictures that we received were amazing! The colors were just so vibrant and crisp. We are still waiting for our wedding photos but I am confident that he will do a great job. During the wedding, he was definitely in the action trying to capture everyone dancing and the angles he shot were pretty impressive. Would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Agaton is a professional in every sense of the word.

There are people who take good pictures, there are people who project an image of professionalism, there are people who know how to interact with people well. Truly there aren't many who possess all of the above qualities.

Agaton's shots are full of life and joy... and he brings to the table his very genial attitude, and a genuine sense of involvement... not to mention his great stature... which is essential if the bride and groom are both tall.

For what he offers, Agaton's services are very reasonably priced, and the turnaround time is remarkable (we've had several other photographers from our friends' weddings to compare to).

Agaton is a really nice photograhper with a great eye. Love our photos! I will for sure recommend him to any couples who's looking to hire a great person for some memorable photos!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Agaton. From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, he was a dream. I have literally lost count of how many people have told me that my photos are "the best photos" they have ever seen.
He is such a lovely, fun person and is so easy to work with. He was totally unobtrusive and as my husband and I looked through our photos we kept saying "Agaton was there when we did that?!" We did not even notice him! Half of my female guests and my mother fell a little bit in love with Agaton by the end of the night.
If you want stunning photos from an unobtrusive photographer, Agaton is your guy. He gets the photos back to you very quickly. Also- if you book him, make sure that you opt for his "photobooth." Some of our best, most fun shots were captured there and everyone LOVED it.

When hiring a photographer I wanted to find someone who would catch the day without worrying if our chins or our hands were placed in the exact, correct location. Agaton's photographs were a work of art in my opinion. He caught the raw emotions of the day and had us go to random spots and take pictures. He had my finance and me go across the street after the wedding ceremony in an alley to take shots of us, and I thought this guy is either really nuts or a genius. Turns out he was a genius because those pictures are absolutely amazing. The way the sun was shining down on us in the alley was absolutely beautiful. I can not gush about Agaton enough. He was polite, friendly, professional, and he worked his butt off the whole day. He took hundreds of pictures, and they are all unbelievable. I am going to have the biggest photo album ever because off his amazing, artistic work. I would recommend any bride or groom to contact him immediately to set up an appointment for Agatom to document the start of your married life together.

Agaton is a photojournalistic photographer. His shots are clear and crisp. When I hired Agaton I asked if he does portraits and he said yes, but clearly I should have hired 2 separate companies. I have only 2 pictures to choose from for my traditional photo. ONLY 2. He does not pose people and doesn't set up the background correctly for portraits. If you are looking for any portraits from him, hire someone else.

He was on time, the pictures came quickly. He is a behind the scenes type of guy. He is perfect for non-traditional photos and non-traditional pictures. Don't expect a take charge photographer. I didn't want an overbearing photographer, but Agaton was too laid back to get the best out of people.

My pictures were amazing. They were so professional and did an great job. I forgot they were even there.

Agaton is an amazing talent. His pictures really captured the magic of our wedding and allowed us the ability to re-live the events of the day. Thank you Agaton!

Ok, this is going to be a two-parter. Since I have yet to get my photos back (although he did say he'd be able to get them to me within 5 days of the wedding), I can only comment on his professionalism and presence at the wedding. He is such a nice guy and he really was everywhere at all times. Strangely though, I didn't even notice him most of the time. He had an assistant with him, Lizzie, who was just as terrific (and I highly recommend requesting her should you decide to use Agaton). And just so you know how amazing these two were, they even got wind of the after-party and showed up at the bar we were at to take more photos without us even asking them to.

Part 2:
Agaton sent us our photos about a week after our wedding and they looked fabulous. The photos really did come out beautiful and my husband and I are very happy with them. All around, Agaton was a great choice - I highly recommend him.

We were very clear on what we wanted in a photographer and Agaton fit the bill. We hired him and an assistant to shoot our wedding, all digital. I highly recommend having 2 people shooting, we have great shots from 2 sides of the room and things happening simultaneously.

We did not want a package deal, we wanted a talented photographer who would capture the spirit of the wedding in a photo journalistic way. We did not do a lot of posed photos, though what we got was great I don't think that's his real focus. He was willing to work with us and what we needed. He provided a beautiful proof book with his input on favorites, and would have done more had we wanted him to.

As an added bonus he's over 6 feet tall so was able to easily get up above the crowd for many shots.

Agaton's versatility is as "tall" as his stature. He's an impeccable photographer, and a true friend to vendors and the bride, groom, families, and guests on the day of the wedding. He's courteous, respectful, creative, and just an absolute pleasure to be around. Photographers are such an important aspect of a wedding, and when it's a photographer that puts you at ease from the moment they walk in the door, they really do set the tone for a memorable event. Agaton is that photographer...from beginning to end.

Agaton is a dream to work with. He does his thing without being obtrusive or in the way. He is like a cat, slinking around, doing his thing unnoticed and taking amazing photos. His photo journalistic style is second to none.
