Amour Aeternus Wedding Photography and Video

There are a million wedding photographers in the world, so I want to highlight some of the specifics about Cheryl. I found her on LinkedIn by goggling «LA Times photographer», and somehow figuring out her full name by cross goggling. All this minor detective work is because my husband is pretty cringy with wedding photos. His words: «I DON’T WANT TO LOOK LIKE I’M IN A MAGAZINE! I WANT REAL PICTURES!!» WHY IS EVERYTHING PASTEL!!” … That’s pretty vague, but you get the drift — a dude who does not want to look glossy or romantic or pastel. Cheryl’s reportage portfolio is what impressed me. Her photos are colorful, real, emotional, very dynamic, always with a lot of movement, captures subtle fleeting moments in people’s seemingly mundane lives (high school sports, political conventions. people selling fruit from back of a truck, for example) That last part was especially impressive about a photojournalist. I figured that my wedding’s emotional level is likely to be on par with a high school softball game. Since Cheryl definitely had some really impressive photos capturing stressed out high school softball players, she will prob be okay with my wedding. Also, her photos are good in terms of technical aspect, so you don’t have to worry about an amateur mascaraing as a professional photographer — any photographer who can making a living from the newspaper industry automatically qualifies as a «professional photographer», and probably «professional hustler» too.
Please note, not all the pictures were flattering. (Omg, I can’t believe my head does that thing all the time! That is NOT cool! I need to stop doing that!) But hey, more than enough of them were very flattering, but they are definitely «real», you know, like newspaper photos. A lot of them were definitely quirky and «awwwwhh» inducing. My husband and I are very happy with the finished product.
I also want to mention that my wedding is apparently the most low stress wedding ever given my belief that if my wedding blew up, it’s really no biggie. That said, the customer service I received is totally fine, usually pretty quick, but definitely not google chat all day type of thing. Cheryl does have a full time job that requires her run around the city all day, so give it a little time and don’t be passive aggressive and really spell out expectations. It is only during planning a wedding I realized how many thousands miles could one couple’s idea of a wedding can differ from another couple’s.
In conclusion, we didn’t really like wedding photos that looked like magazine spreads, so we found Cheryl whose main occupation is a photojournalist and our photos look like newspaper photos, which is the way we prefer — at very reasonable price point for Cheryl alone. I think it’s more expensive with two photographers, please inquire.

Thank you Cheryl Guerrero from Amour Aeternus for capturing my wedding day! I had a destination wedding in Hawaii and really wanted a photographer who can take photos of the sweetest moments. Communicating with Cheryl was seamless, she was very responsive and ensured everything I wanted to capture was in the photo itinerary she provided. After receiving the photos, my husband and I were more than happy with Cheryl’s work. Beautiful and artistic, I was able to relive my wedding day! I loved that she captured the photos in particular angles that most people do not see.
I highly recommend her!!!
