Your wedding isn't a photoshoot. It's a once in a lifetime celebration with all the people you love in one place and time. You deserve photos that reflect your genuine love for each other and the people that surround you. We grow up, get older, memories get a little blurry, and the photos left are your timeless treasures.
Let's capture the good stuff.
that's what makes it special

lET'S PLAN YOUR DAY AROUND YOUR PEOPLE, NOT a PHOTO SHOT LIST.

You should expect nothing less from this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, let's dive deep into what's important to you both and capture it in a way that feels authentically you.

We would give Amy 1,000 stars if we could!! Amy is the absolute best! We were so fortunate to have her take both our engagement and wedding photos and couldn't be happier. She has such a wonderful, calming presence and made us feel so at ease, helped us bring out our silly sides, and made us look amazing! Her photos are so so beautiful and capture our story and the happiness of our special day. We cannot recommend her enough!!

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!

Working with Amy for our wedding and engagement photos was the absolute best experience. Amy made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and perfectly captured our personalities and our joy. Amy truly cares about her clients and kept in touch with us throughout the wedding planning process. By the time the wedding day arrived, it felt like we were taking photos with a friend. We’re so grateful for the opportunity to work with Amy and can’t recommend her highly enough!
