About Us

An internationally award-winning photography boutique owned by two successful young women in a business and artistic partnership, our studio is the evolution of two creatives wanting to push the boundaries and dream bigger.  Technology nerds obsessed with fashion and always on the go, we can be found wearing quirky glasses and carrying around multiple cameras and indie magazines in oversized unnecessary handbags on a daily basis. 

We blend a contemporary yet original vision with a classical philosophy of the arts.  With collegiate honors in studio art and graphic design, we both have a film-based education and graduated with multiple collegiate honors.  A dynamic duo that bring out the best in each other and absolutely love what we do, we invest whole-heartedly in each of our clients.  Our focus on the unique and personal experience we provide as a studio is an integral part of who we are as artists and what connects us to our clientele.  Our style is emotional, whimsical, quirky, sensual, and fun, with a distinct love of the dramatic.  We flirt with opposition and juxtaposition, and love a hidden meaning.  As fine art photographers who also house a successful fashion and editorial photography business, we are somewhat unique in the wedding industry.  Above all else, we are storytellers at heart, and our greatest hope is to make a difference with our art.  We are visionaries who dream big and create with boldness. 

We have traveled the world together and regularly work with an international clientele.  Our work has been published and featured by some of the most respected publishing houses in the world.

Please take note of the following: we think outside the box, push ourselves to create an amazing experience, firmly believe sequins are often the answer - to most anything, pour our hearts and souls into our craft, boast an unbelievable work ethic (one of us routinely works on a laptop at the movie theater), drink way too much caffeine, love to shoot in cocktail attire and some rocking heels, bonded over Johnny Cash but also treasure an affinity for Phil Collins, and once participated in a dance-off with some guests at a reception per the request of the bride...which we won. 

If you find any of this intriguing, we would certainly love to connect.  YOU are the type of client we're looking for ;)

When my husband and I started planning our wedding one of the main aspects that I put a lot of time and effort into was finding our photographer. From the moment I spoke on the phone with Amelia I felt confident and excited to work with Bound By. Through their amazing talents, Amelia and Graham have given us images that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. They were able captured every emotion of our special day and our personality in a way that I didn't think was possible. Their artistic eye along with their laid-back, fun and engaging personalities helped create timeless photos. We have received more compliments on our pictures and Amelia/Graham than one could imagine and would be grateful if ever we had the opportunity to work with them again! Oh, and we also were seeing imagines the very next morning after our wedding which was so fun for us and a huge added bonus!!
 


Amelia Strauss Photography is fantastic! Her pictures will absolutely amaze you. We have been fortunate enough to work with her several times. From a vendor/venue point of view she is easy to work with and very respectful to everyone, clients and vendors alike. We know as a professionals the last thing you want is a photographer that adds stress to an already stressful day. Amelia brings a breath of fresh air to each of her events. As a venue that hosts 55+ weddings a year her photojournalist style is in high demand and she captures it remarkably. If you have any questions about my Endorsement for Amelia please feel free to contact me at any time.
