Aaron & Jillian Photography has received more than 150 reviews on four verified sites with an impeccable average rating of 5.00 stars, earning them a marvelous Rating Score™ of 98.00 and two 2019 Top Rated Local awards for being ranked among the top 100 businesses and the top five photographers in all of South Carolina!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“Aaron and Jillian were the ABSOLUTE best all around. They were so fun, positive and upbeat — they literally light up a room. The bridesmaids and groomsmen couldn’t stop talking about how great they were, and we received SO many compliments from our guests on their behalf. I’m not one who typically loves having her photo taken, but they made me feel so comfortable, and the photos turned out AMAZING!! They didn’t miss a detail, and every moment was photographed!! [I] highly recommend [them] for any shoot or event!” – Kaitlyn W.

Not Your Average Photographers

We wanted to learn more about this two-time award winner and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Jillian Osteen, the owner of Aaron & Jillian Photography.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Aaron & Jillian Photography one-of-a-kind photographers in South Carolina. Here’s what Jillian had to say:

“We are a true husband-and-wife team. We are both qualified to shoot weddings on our own, and we choose to do it together. We know exactly what each other is doing non-verbally to get the best shots for the client.”

We also asked Jillian what their mission is at Aaron & Jillian Photography and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s her response:

“We want to be really good people and give our clients a really good experience, and we are gracious with the vendors that we work with.”

Building Success by Letting Clients Know How Important Reviews Are

Jillian attributes Aaron & Jillian Photography’s strong online reputation to their commitment to letting their clients know how important reviews are to them:

“When we send out the photo galleries for clients, we let them know how important reviews are to us and that they give future couples a chance to see how we work with our clients. We shoot a lot of weddings, so that means we have so many clients that it gives us a lot of opportunities for reviews.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Aaron & Jillian Photography has gotten their name out there through social media — mainly Instagram — as well as the exposure that comes from many of their weddings being published in magazines.

Every business owner wants to build the kind of online reputation Aaron & Jillian Photography has. When we asked Jillian what advice she has for those business owners, she said:

“We have always felt that, instead of spending money on paid advertising, focus all of your energy on Instagram and creating relationships with people in the industry. The first couple of years, you will be working a ton and should be gracious to everybody.”
