Real experiences and verified reviews from clients who trusted Aperture with their once-in-a-lifetime milestones.
“Wonderful Experience! Great price, great quality, and quick turnaround for the pictures. I highly encourage everyone to get your pictures done with Aperture!”
“Damion is amazing. Both his talent and artistic vision are completely unparalleled. He has a gift for listening to you and making it happen. Whatever you're looking for, Damion will capture it and bring the beauty to life.”
“Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Aperture! The team was professional, creative, and made the entire shoot feel effortless. The portraits came out stunning—crisp, vibrant, and full of personality. Highly recommend!”
Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Damion’s creative foundation began in traditional fine art—mastering light and form through pencil, charcoal, and watercolor. Moving to the United States sparked his transition into digital visual design, motion graphics, and high-impact brand campaigns.
Along the way, Damion delivered creative design for global brands including Apple, Google, and Samsung. What began as a 15-year passion evolved into full-time photography in 2020. Today, I bring over a decade of design and lighting experience to every shoot. Whether we're capturing your wedding day, updating your headshot, booking a boudoir session, or building your brand, my goal is simple: make you look great and feel completely at ease.
