Michael’s & Anna’s photo session with Armands
“At the beginning it must be said that Armands is not only a photographer. He is a sensitive artist as well, who has a special ability to see beauty and create extraordinary effects in the most common locations. Yellow line on the street, orange colored wall, ordinary staircase… we would never realize how amazing effect can be created in the places we were passing everyday without thinking.
Photo session with Armands was full of surprises. We were expecting long and tiresome walks. What we have got was an amazing Edinburgh tour with entertaining guide and pictures showing the best of me and Anna, presenting our feelings and characters, not only smiley faces.
I can recommend Ardmads both as a professional photographer and as a optimistic person who can help to take a different sight on live and surrounding world.”

“I expected to feel nervous, but due to the professional approach, and mature manner concerning the way Mr Sprogis conducted the photo shoot was carried out, I felt very comfortable and felt a great sense of confidence in the photographer. The experience was very uplifting and on receiving the first few photographs, concerning the first photo shoot, I realised that the time and effort put into this was very worthwhile as the results were amazing.”

“Armands Sprogis is a photographer who we can recommend in 100%.
We met each other at work and we were impressed by his ideas, enthusiasm and professionalism when he was talking about photography. We asked him to accompany us on our wedding in Poland and results were more than satisfactory. Both pre-wedding and wedding pictures are beautiful; very natural, but still professional; full of optimism, happiness and intimacy; perfectly showing our and ours guests moods and feelings. During that busy day, Armands was able to catch all the important moments and situations.
Summarizing, Armands Sprogis is extremely professional, sensitive and creative photographer and working with him is more that pleasure.
Thank you for the most beautiful memento of that exceptional day.”

“I like Armands’s creative approach to customers. He’s not only taking photographs but creating memories.
I asked him to take some pictures of my MSc graduation ceremony. He designed the whole photo session from evaluating scene to retouching photographs. Results were astonishing. Every picture was a part of a story about one of the greatest moments in my life.”

Edinburgh Wedding photography with A-Fotografy
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
It’s all too easy to get seduced by offers from friends or family members with expensive digital cameras they’re eager to road test. Before you get sucked into entrusting your wedding photographs to Uncle Bob, take time out to consider the consequences. It would be a shame to be stuck with an inferior set of images that make you squirm rather than smile.
Let’s be honest; your wedding photography needs will be best served by an experienced and reliable professional photographer. It’s the only way to make absolutely sure a flawless, exquisite record of your wedding is created for you to look back on for years to come. Let Armand be your eyes for the day, capturing all the moments – from the intentional to the spontaneous.
Before you walk up the aisle, it’s vital to meet up with your wedding photographer to talk about the style and tone of your images. Build up a trusting relationship with your photographer and the rewards will be well worth the time spent. Discussion together with an informal photo session will give everyone a chance to get to know each other and discover what works best for you.
The aftercare duties are every bit as important as the creative process. There will be proofs for you to look at, albums and wall products to decide on, along with a selection of beautiful presents for family and friends. Bear in mind that you might also want additional pictures for yourselves. Gift vouchers are a great idea for wedding presents and offer a welcome alternative to toasters and towels. All these essential extras are available, so don’t hesitate to get in touch and ask as many questions as you want. That’s what Armands is here for!
