A child pretending to be a wedding photographer. Fraudulent behavior.

Amara is a child that does not know how to run a business or provide a service. She likes the idea of being a wedding photographer but does not have the work ethic, communication, punctuality, integrity or customer focus to be one.

She will talk the talk after you first meet with her, but once you pay, the issues begin. She did not deliver the engagement photos until weeks after the due date, leaving us emailing and calling her with no response. When she finally responded, there was some excuse or the other. Our experience was already tainted, but at this point we had already prepaid and hoped that we would go through the wedding and get our photos and albums as agreed. As of writing, it's been six (6) months after the due date of our wedding albums and she has not delivered them. Even worse, the digital album she uploaded to her site for review, showed no sign that she had taken the time to put an album together and was clearly cobbled together in five minutes. My wife and I had to redo her work and then resubmit the album to her to print, which she still has not done and not provided a refund either.

Buyer beware. Amara is borderline fraudulent and she will unfortunately taint your entire wedding photography experience. Many of the couples displayed on her socials have also not received their albums either.

Horrible experiene, Amara does not deliver the product that you have paid for

If I could give zero stars for the horrible experience that is working with Amara I would. Besides the horrendous communication which is in fact NO communication from Amara after paying, she is also running a FRAUDULENT business, failing to deliver on thousands of dollars worth of wedding albums for us and MANY more of her clients. Amara paints herself to be someone that she can not uphold to, she will pretend to be responsive until you pay and then will go months prior to and post wedding without answering a single message. We have felt like we have been robbed of the experience and we have in fact been robbed of THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF MONEY with no printed wedding album in return.

While Amara can capture a nice photo, she should not be recognized by any publication for the terrible nature that she treats all of her clients. We are one of at least 5 couples with this same experience. Most people are not leaving reviews because they are still living in hopes that they will receive the product that they have paid for- she has no intention of doing this. DO NOT RECOMMEND
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
