Kataram Studios was recommended to my husband and I for our May 5th, Gloucester, MA wedding by a very close friend who is also a professional photographer. We were very laid back and relaxed in the wedding planning process, not very knowledgeable about the photography end of things at all, and were looking for someone who could lead us through the process and give us some ideas and advice on what might be best for the flow of the day. We couldn't have been happier with Aram. From the first consultation over the phone that we had with him, we knew his personality, sense of humor, and very polite but open and honest style was perfect for what we were looking for. When we got together with him for coffee for an in-person consultation, we felt as though he could have been a friend we'd had for years. Both my husband and I felt very comfortable with his advice, ideas, and plans for the wedding day, and he managed our fun-loving, crazy, impulsive wedding party and family with no hesitation at all (The groomsmen even listened!). Many of our wedding party members and guests asked if we had known him prior to the wedding, because he fit in so seamlessly. We will highly recommend Kataram Studios to anyone looking for personal, event, or professional portraits in the future, and will also be returning to them ourselves for any life events to come.
