Sarah + Ethan

As a wedding photographer myself, it was really paramount that my husband and I have a photographer that we knew we could trust with all our hearts for our wedding, and Amy was undoubtedly that person. I know that our wedding photos are timelessly beautiful, extraordinarily true to us, and just so, so beautiful. 

I'm eternally amazed at how Amy managed to capture it all

Beth + Maxim

Amy was so wonderful - she is amazingly organized, thoughtful, has an awesome attention to detail. She was there with us throughout the entire process - from the very beginning checking in all the way through. Day of she was both organized and laid back. She was always there, never in the way, and always supportive of us. There were a few curveballs day of and she rolled with them easily. I cannot recommend Amy enough - she is completely worth it! You will not regret hiring Amy for your event!

She is completely worth it!

REVIEW NO. 2 of 3

Amy + Camille

We found her to be an undeniable list of the following: warm, unassuming, informed, thorough, guiding, calming, clear, professional, invested, open, and patient. My wife and I were grateful for her (as expected!) enthusiasm for the nontraditional; the resulting photographs under her direction made even the most ordinary moments look extraordinary. Being a queer couple, it was important to us to surround ourselves and nonconforming friends with folks that would be respectful and mindful and Amy was just that. 

What a treasure and what an eye!
