My now wife and myself recently got married (10 Aug 11) in Aruba. The experience we had with Jason Margarita and the whole crew at Ever After Aruba was phenomenal. I could not even imagine our wedding day without each and every one of them by our side throughout it all.

Right from the beginning emails and the first meeting with Jason and Julissa you could tell right away you are in good hands with people who deeply care about what they do. Even after we left Aruba to come back home and have our reception, they kept in touch with us to help get us digital copies of the touched up photos and video trailers completed in time so we could share a slide show with our guests that weren’t fortunate enough to join us on the beautiful Island of Aruba.
The bride was not feeling well and coughing frequently the whole week we were in Aruba. Fearing that she would be coughing through the Civil Ceremony nuptials, Jason asked his crew to get some water and cough drops to help her get through it, which we thought was very thoughtful. Even afterwards, before the beach ceremony, Jason took it upon himself to go talk to a health professional to see if there was anything he could get to help. Jason came to meet us before the beach ceremony with a pocket full of cough drops along with something the pharmacist recommended to him that would help, which it did.
The day after the wedding we did a trash the dress photo shoot. We got picked up at the hotel and brought to the studio where my wife was once again in good hands with Alan looking after her. We went to a couple different locations of our choosing and had a fabulous time and the pictures look fantastic! Afterwards we were brought back to the studio to choose the 108 photos we wanted for our album. Since it was a long day, Jason had the restaurant next door come over and bring us food as well as drinks. Even afterwards near the end of our photo-picking extravaganza, he insisted on getting us one more drink for the road that we graciously obliged.

Jason’s photos turned out magnificent. He is talented individual that strives for perfection and captured every essence of our day from random candid shots and typical wedding poses to the awesome trash the dress photos the day after. We couldn’t have done it without his guidance and help throughout our whole wedding day.

Julissa is very talented behind the lens of that video camera as well as in the studio when she puts together the sweetest video compilations I have ever seen. The 2 video trailers she sent us were just brilliant. They were a very big hit at our reception back home. We can’t wait to see the whole video that she has done up for us as we are certain that is will be nothing less than perfect.

Alan is the stylist that was by my wife’s side throughout the whole wedding day as well as the following day for the trash the dress shoot. This was a great touch and we highly recommend that you get the package that would include this wonderful individual in your day. You will not be disappointed I guarantee. My wife simply loved every aspect of having him there to style her hair, do her make up and touch ups as well as helping her with her dress. All I can say is that my wife looked absolutely stunning and took my breath away.

In our opinion Jason, Julissa and Alan are the BEST photographer, videographer and stylist Aruba has to offer. They are a team that are not only super nice and very professional, but will also go above and beyond the call of duty to make your special day a dream come true. They not only do an amazing job but they are also amazing people whom we respect greatly and in the future hope to remain in touch as friends. I could not imagine having anybody else by your side on your special day. Words really can’t express the feeling of gratitude we have for each and every one of you.

Hi Sean & Christy!

Your wedding was amazing, and it was certainly a pleasure to capture your most fondest memories. Regardless of how you were feeling on your wedding day, you both looked stunning. Your ceremony was a magical, and fantastic in all ways! Thank you very much for the review and my team and I truly appreciate it...

It sounds amazing the photos look stunning.

Reading your review has made me very excited that we've chosen Jason for our wedding next year

We renewed our vows in May and also used Jason and his crew. I agree, they were amazing, as were the photographs.

We got married last month at the Riu Palace, also had Jason and company took care of the photography and videography. I can see why his business is very popular on the island. He and his team are genuinely nice people and talented! We can't thank them enough for looking after us.

Pilla you are in for a treat if you can manage to book him. I believe this guy was born to do weddings, and he does it so well i could not have been happier. Only thing about him which sucks is that he is always busy. We wanted to do the dress trashing last week and he couldn't fit us in he had a wedding every single day and today we leave the island. So if you manage to get him your day will be perfect.
