I'm a wedding photographer, dad of two, beer lover, travel enthusiast, and all-around computer geek that has been photographing weddings in the Pittsburgh area for almost 10 years. I photographed my first wedding nearly a decade ago not knowing what my style or approach was going to be.
I quickly realized that providing the best possible experience was my #1 priority, not just on the wedding day itself but from the moment we begin working together.Your photography experience should be completely stress free and fun! My second priority is creating amazing photos. I try very hard to create stunning, epic photos that make you stop and say ".Woah".

Hi! My name is Aaron Varga and I'm a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer that specializes in creating beautiful images for weddings and couples in love. I'm a husband and father to the two most adorable kids ever. My wife Amanda and I are suckers for anything cute and watch every laughing baby or puppy video on YouTube.
I may be a little biased here, but I believe that photography is one of the most important elements of your wedding day. After all the build-up and the excitement, after the day is over and you're back from your honeymoon, the memories and the photos are what's left.
Photos will allow you to relive one of the most special days of your lives, from the nervous anticipation before the ceremony, to the teary-eyed vows, and of course grandma tearing it up on the dance floor.I'll even capture the half-naked guy that runs through while you're setting up for your ceremony (yes, this happened!).

Weddings and portraits are an investment that you will treasure for years to come. Sessions are customizable, and together we can determine what type of coverage best suits your needs. Please contact me for more information and feel free ask any questions you may have! A variety of portrait sessions are available, including engagement and day-after sessions.
Aaron was an absolute dream to work with. From the moment we met until the wedding day and beyond, Aaron never missed a single step in any of the details. He's very organized, creates a timeline for the day of the wedding, responds so quickly to emails and is just a pleasure in general to work with.

Aaron was our photographer for both our engagement photos and wedding. A large part of why we chose Aaron was because of his photography style capturing all the vibrant colors. Having a fall wedding, this was so important to us. He certainly met our expectations and captured beautiful photos with the fall scenery. He made out experience so stress free by giving us poses for every picture, and was very open to suggestions of photos we wanted to take as well. I was very nervous that I would have to come up with poses or look online for ideas, but he made the process so easy that I didn’t have to

We could not have chosen a better photographer for our Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel wedding! Aaron went above and beyond to capture moments that we will never forget. He made everything so easy for us and was very responsive throughout the entire experience. He had all of our photos edited within 2 weeks and we are obsessed with every single one of them. We Highly recommend his services to anyone who wants a true professional!

Aaron was fantastic to work with. He is incredibly professional, responsive, and provides great guidance. He not only suggested, and helped make a time schedule of the wedding day, he used his experience to make recommendations throughout the process. Aaron and Matthew took beautiful pictures and many guests complimented their work and kindness while interacting with them throughout the day. I highly recommend working with Aaron, you will not be disappointed. His work with light and specifically night shots is why he was recommended to us and we could not be happier with the quality of pictures

Overall, fantastic experience working with Aaron. He photographed our engagement and wedding photos and I would definitely use his services again in the future. Having never been professionally photographed before, I had no idea how to pose. He made us feel very comfortable and guided us every step of the way. He rolled with the punches and made it a fun experience. He also captured all of the moments we wanted at the wedding. The photo book he created for us was also amazing! I highly recommend Aaron for your next event.

Aaron Varga was one of our very first vendors that we booked for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made! On our initial phone call, Aaron talked through the process with us starting from the very beginning. He gave us great advice and was not pushy at all to book with him. I fell in love with the pictures he captured from other weddings, and I knew I wanted my wedding to be captured with the same talent and enthusiasm! Aaron Varga is professional, funny, responsive, and extremely gifted when it comes to photography. He makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera

When the time came to wedding plan, hiring a top Pittsburgh wedding photographer was our first priority. I had always been a fan of Aaron Varga Photography (AVP). He stood out to me because year after year he captures beautiful weddings. I also loved his consistent sneak peaks and blog posts. It was clear every couple received the VIP AVP treatment, and he didn’t play the favorites game, which was important to us.
While Aaron was a front runner, we did our due diligence and reached out to about ten other wedding photographers before making a decision. However, Aaron’s response was a clear

My husband and I were married this October and Aaron did some amazing work. He also did our engagement session the October before. Aaron is very professional and very easy to work with. He is right on top of everything. My husband had a surprise planned for me during our wedding pictures which included an inflatable unicorn. Aaron worked with my husband and pulled of the surprise without a hitch, not to mention hilarious.
Aarons work is absolutely amazing. If you are unsure look at his portfolio. There is not one bad picture in the mix. Aaron was worth every penny. He captured our wedding so beautifully
