About

Hi, I’m Amber! I am a chai drinking, pastel loving, two-time NYU graduate, who is absolutely in love with taking photos! A strong background in performing arts management and years of classical ballet training have given me an eye for detail, the creativity of an artist, and the confidence to carefully coordinate my couples’ wedding day photos so that they run as smoothly as a performance at NYC’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, a place I called home for several years. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me spending time with my darling husband Matt, newborn daughter Siena, and sweet (but sassy) rescue pup, Jasper.

Beautifully Captured Memories

Dear Amber,
We recently went through our wedding photos, and we are truly grateful for the beautiful way you captured our day. Each image reflects the emotion, joy, and meaningful moments that we will treasure for a lifetime.
Thank you not only for your incredible work, but also for your professionalism and calming presence throughout the day. You and your sister made us and our families feel completely at ease, and it was such a pleasure to have you with us.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had you as our photographer. Thank you again for everything!

Perfectly Captured!

Amber and her assistant Kerry are amazing!
From the start and the vendor selection process, Amber was flexible, calm and responsive and she brought that energy to wedding day. Her romantic style perfectly captured my day. We've only received previews so far but our family is already swooning. I can't wait to see our final album.

Wouldn't change a thing!

Picking Amber Dawn as our photographer was one of the top 5 best choices we made throughout the whole wedding planning process! Amber's process was smooth from start to finish and she had the best communication we experienced out of all different vendors. She took the time to get to know us a little as a couple and really understand the look we were going for on our special day. My husband and I are not a couple that often takes lovey or romantic photos, so we knew we needed a photographer that would make us comfortable and guide us to get good poses. Amber did just that, all while making us look natural and like ourselves in the photos. Not only were the engagement shoot and wedding day photos the best we have ever seen, the time to edit and send back our gallery was amazing! We got the come home from our honeymoon and relive the day through all the moments Amber captured. My family was extra appreciative of the care Amber put into the little ones at our wedding. All our nieces and nephew have cute shots and she was very patient as we tried to wrangle the little ones into family photos. I genuinely wouldn't trade my experience with Amber for anything and am SO happy we chose her to photograph our wedding! 10/10, would recommend to all my friends!

Amber is amazing!

Now that you've found Amber, there should be absolutely no doubt in your mind - you need to hire her for your photography needs! From the moment my husband and I met Amber, we knew we made the right choice. She is an extremely talented photographer with an amazing eye for details. My husband and I are both uncomfortable in front of a camera, but Amber made us feel at ease every step of the way. She knows how to direct you and capture you at your best.

Amber really listens to what you want. She heard me when I told her my preferences, what made me uncomfortable, etc. She listens and she's extremely patient. She's also professional, but also knows how to make the day fun as well. Her vibes and fun energy are unmatched (and believe me, you'll truly value that in your vendors).

My friends and family can't stop gushing over how beautiful our photos are. We are going to cherish these gorgeous photos, and we are so grateful to Amber for truly making our day special forever.

The BEST decision we made for our wedding day!

Hiring Amber/Dawn was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Amber and her team were professional, warm, and incredibly easy to work with. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and captured every emotion, every moment, and every little detail so beautifully.

Our wedding day was pure magic, and thanks to them, we get to relive it over and over again through photos that feel alive. The way they captured the light, the joy on our guests’ faces, the tears in our eyes during the vows—every image feels like a work of art.

They were also amazing with our family and bridal party—somehow everywhere at once, yet never intrusive. Our golden hour photos? Absolutely breathtaking. And they even managed to get the perfect shot of the fireworks at the end of the night, which was something we’ll treasure forever.

If you’re considering them for your big day—do it. You will be in the best hands. We can’t thank them enough for giving us such stunning, timeless memories. We’ll cherish these photos forever. Thank you again! Jenn & John

Amazing Wedding Photographer

Hiring Amber Dawn as our wedding photographer was by far one of the best decisions we made! I found her initially because I admired her past work at our venue, Greenville Country Club, and I was immediately drawn to her style. From our first conversation, Amber was incredibly organized, professional, and very responsive. She asked all the right questions to understand the vibe I wanted for the day and sent a detailed questionnaire that covered all the bases.

I had a very specific vision (some traditional posed shots, some documentary-style candids, and bold flash photography during the reception) and Amber completely nailed it. She and her sister handled my lengthy shot list and our very large, chaotic family with total grace and patience.

The photos absolutely blew me away. She sent a sneak peek within a week of the wedding, which was such a fun surprise. I will cherish these images for a lifetime. If you're thinking about booking Amber Dawn for your wedding, you will not regret it! I cannot recommend her enough!

Amber Dawn Photography exceeded all our expectations!

Amber Dawn Photography is simply phenomenal! From start to finish, Amber was incredibly accommodating, kind, and professional, making our entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Her attention to detail is unmatched—she captures every special moment so beautifully, ensuring that every shot feels natural!

One of the things that truly stood out was her patience and ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. My fiancé now husband Steve, was a bit nervous about photos, but Amber's warm and easygoing approach during our engagement shoot helped him relax and feel confident. By the time our wedding day arrived, he was completely at ease, thanks to her guidance and expertise!

Leading up to the big day, Amber went above and beyond by checking in, making sure everything was ready to go, and helping us feel fully prepared. She was incredibly organized and made sure that every detail was covered so that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. When the wedding day arrived, she seamlessly captured every photo we could have ever wanted—from the smallest, most intimate moments to the unforgettable ones—all with such ease.

Beyond her incredible talent, Amber is simply a joy to work with. She has a calming presence that makes even the most camera-shy people feel at ease, and she brings such passion and creativity to her work. Her dedication to capturing genuine, heartfelt moments is evident in every photo she takes. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure their vision comes to life.

Amber Dawn Photography exceeded all our expectations, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only exceptionally skilled but also an absolute pleasure to work with. She made our experience unforgettable, and we are beyond grateful for the beautiful memories she has given us!

Beautiful and easy

Amber and her team gave our family an incredible experience before, during and after our son's wedding. She was organized, easy to work with, unobtrusive, and incredibly talented in her vision, style and presence. The final product was revealed with excitement and joy. I would recommend her with 5 stars. You won't be disappointed and the memory of your wedding will be captured in amazing images.

So happy we chose to work with Amber!

Choosing to work with Amber for our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made. She was so organized and communicative leading up to our day, making sure to hone in on our vision and what was most important about our wedding. On the wedding day, she was so great to work with and very efficient in getting all of the photos we wanted. We were so blown away with how all of our pictures turned out. She got the vibe of our pictures exactly how we were hoping - an elegant, classic look. What really blew us away even more was the speed with which we got our photos back. Within just a couple days of our wedding, we had a full sneak peak of some of Amber’s favorite photos, and had our entire album back just over a month after our wedding day. She even went the extra mile and sent us several 8x10 copies of some of our photos professionally developed. HIGHLY recommend hiring Amber for your wedding day! Couldn’t be happier!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
