"They were by far our favorite vendor of our wedding. From the very first phone call we had with them, to getting our final video, it has all been amazing." - Mackenzie

RELIVE YOUR GENUINE MOMENTS

As we see it, your job is to remain focused on each other, your loved ones, and why you're there. After all, when you're fully present, we get the best content. And that's why, you'll never find us rushing you around.

Rather than intruding on your moments by staging or posing you, we let them unfold as they naturally would. And then we capture them in a real and genuine way, so when you look back you'll truly feel like you.

“To be honest, I barely noticed they were there and I mean that in the best way! They incorporated themselves with the guests without being too in your face with the camera.” - Kim & Laeth

A NATURAL CONNECTION

Some couples want their photographers and filmmakers to be an extension of their bridal party and other times they want them to fade into the background.

With us, you have a team who knows when to step in and out of each role.

Feeling nervous and need a hype team at the beginning of your day? We'll crush it. Need some help on what to do with your hands? Just call us Obi-Wan [Ed. note: apologies for showing our nerd]. Want to dance the night away with your best friends? We'll disappear from your line of vision. And we do it all with that warm, easygoing personality you would find in a close friend.

“The final product was insane! We have no idea how they so beautifully and perfectly tied the whole day up into a 6 minute video. It brings us back immediately to that day. Booking Amari was one of the best decisions we could have made! We are forever grateful!” - Emily

COMMISSION US TO CAPTURE YOUR VISION

When it comes to your wedding day, you have the final say. While we offer insight and guidance, this day is about you and your vision.

This is your chance to commission real artists to create truly stunning imagery featuring the best day of your life. After you inquire we will get on the phone with you and listen to every detail of the vibe you're going for. Then prepare to be blown away, because after the wedding day you'll watch your favorite memories come to life. Through carefully curated music, sound, and truly impactful imagery- exactly the way you envisioned it, and maybe even better.

“In all seriousness, our day was made because the Amari team was able to capture and present our wedding exactly how we had always imagined it! Our wedding would not have been the same without them all and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such an outstanding team!” - Taylor

Quality. Customer Service. Awesome Day-of Team.

I booked with Amari way in advance because I was eager to lock in a good vendor, so I didn't have to worry about much closer to the wedding date. I'm so grateful I did because the Amari team was so quick to respond and easy to work with from the first step to the last.

As someone who has worked in multimedia professionally, I'm so satisfied with how our photos, wedding video and sneak peak reel came out. It is one thing to take photos and shoot video, but it is a different art to tell a story. I think the photo & video team were so present on the wedding day, they managed to pick up the little and big details about our love story without us telling them a word, then turned all that into a beautiful compilation of photos and videos that told our story perfectly.

Of course, the forms they have you fill out in preparation for the final product helps a lot, too. But that's the other thing!! -- they do so well at making sure they have the info they need ahead of the big day, so when the big day rolls around you don't have to worry about much.

Anyways, I wish I remembered all of the 4 photographers & videographers' names who worked with us for our wedding because they were warm, friendly and ready to get the job DONE. My main photographer even drove me to the ceremony in her personal car. I hid in the backseat of her blue sedan. I'll never forget it. When they told me their shift was over at the end of the night and that they were leaving, I was bummed because I wanted them to stay for the party. Lol.

Book Amari. Their product is good. Their customer service is the cherry on top.

10/10 Recommend

We worked with Em from Amari Productions for our wedding at the Adamson House in August. She was awesome. She had a great eye for both posed and candid shots across the entirety of our event, and captured all of the best moments beautifully. She balanced great coverage without ever being disruptive or in the way. When directing posed photos of my wife and I or the larger group photos, she was direct and professional but not terse, which kept the proverbial train moving efficiently while we enjoyed the shoot. Amari pricing was fair and we got our photos quickly after the event. We're so glad we went with Amari!

Amazing team, we love corey!

I can’t imagine how hard it is to bring to life one of the most important days of peoples lives and share the love, emotion, and feelings through video. It seems like an impossible task, BUT NOT FOR COREY!!!

Not only did he do an AMAZING JOB composing our wedding into an amazing video recap, he did it with so much enthusiasm and attention to detail. What’s even better?!? Corey is genuinely one of the nicest humans I have ever met. He is incredible. We LOVED working with him and I would recommend him to every. Single. Human. I could. Thank you so much Corey!!

Thank you Amari Productions!

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Amari Productions from start to finish. Ray and his team captured the energy, excitement, and pure joy of our wedding day so beautifully. The photographers were such a calming and professional presence, keeping us on track while making everything feel effortless. We truly can’t recommend Amari enough—choosing them was hands down one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire planning process.

Amazing! So obsessed

Amari did both my photo and video (better deal if you do both) and it was the best thing I ever decided to do. I wasn’t sure at first if I should get them for both photo and video because they’re more well-known for their video but I’m so happy I did! the photographers were so professional and experienced and they gave me almost 1000 photos that were edited and so beautiful. The video was amazing and they even sent all the raw footage too, which was so great. I’m just so happy with everything! I couldn’t recommend them enough!!

The whole package!

Working with Amari Productions has been a wonderful process! We had the AP team for both photography and videography, and it was such a seamless process. The team responded quickly to my questions and was quite thorough with their questionnaire. On the day of the wedding, the lead photographer did such a great job at coordinating the shots and adhering to the timeline. Major shoutout to Ray! When we got our photos back, we were blown away by them all. We cannot recommend Amari Productions enough!

Amari Productions Captured Our Story Beautifully

We are beyond grateful for the incredible work Amari Productions did for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. Having them for our engagement photos made everything feel so natural on the wedding day—they already understood our style, our personalities, and what moments meant the most to us.

On the wedding day itself, the Amari Productions team was everything we hoped for: calm, professional, organized, and so easy to work with. They guided us when we needed direction and blended in seamlessly when capturing candid moments. Their attention to detail, timing, and emotion is truly unmatched.

We’ve already received our sneak peek, and we are absolutely obsessed. The photos are stunning, full of emotion, and beautifully edited. Seeing just a glimpse of what they captured has us so excited—we genuinely cannot wait to see the full video and the rest of the photos. If the sneak peek is any indication, we know the final gallery is going to be incredible.

Amari Productions didn’t just capture our wedding—they captured our love story from engagement to “I do.” If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer team who are talented, caring, and truly invested in telling your story, we cannot recommend them enough.

Thank you, Amari Productions, for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever.

We love Amari Productions!

We absolutely loved working with Amari Productions! From start to finish, they were incredibly flexible, friendly, and professional. They asked all the right questions leading up to our wedding day, which made us feel so confident that they truly understood what mattered most to us. From our beginning consultation to the actual day of our wedding, I felt like they were just so kind and truly made such an amazing experience for us!
On the day itself, they were such a joy to have around, fun, calm, and genuinely kind people who made everyone feel comfortable. They managed to split up and be in multiple places at once, capturing all the important moments from both of our perspectives so beautifully. One thing that meant a lot to us was how well they captured our dog, those photos turned out to be some of our absolute favorites!
We were so impressed by their attention to detail, their warmth, and the way they perfectly preserved the emotions of the day. We can't recommend them enough to anyone looking for photographers who not only take stunning photos but also bring the best energy to your wedding!

Thank You Amari Productions for Capturing Our Perfect Day So Effortlessly

Working with Amari Productions was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the start, they made the entire process feel effortless. Their prep forms were so detailed and intentional — it felt like they truly wanted to understand what mattered most to us. It gave us so much confidence going into the day knowing they were on the same page and we got the finer details sorted well ahead of time.

On our wedding day, the Amari team completely exceeded expectations. They were professional but relaxed, creative but never overbearing — the perfect balance. Our lead, Sage, was incredible. He connected with our guests so naturally and the team made everyone feel at ease, as if they were part of the celebration. You could feel that the entire Amari team genuinely cared about making the day special, not just capturing it.

When we got our photos and films back, we were speechless. They didn’t just record what happened — they truly captured how it felt. Every emotion, every laugh, every quiet moment was brought back to life in such a thoughtful, cinematic way. These are memories we’ll carry forever, and we’re so grateful to Amari for preserving them so beautifully. Thank you so much!

Amari Productions was top tier!

Amari Productions exceeded all our expectations for our wedding day. The videographers that we had present on our the day were kind, enthusiastic, brought great energy, and were so professional with catching such intimate moments throughout the day. Also, when we received our wedding film back, we were in total awe! Tears everywhere! They captured our day perfectly and made sure that all our notes from their questionnaire were accounted for. They were also extremely affordable for the quality and workmanship that we received. We would definitely utilize them again for any special event that needed detailed and thoughtful capturing. Thank you Amari Productions!
