Amber Gress Photography

Amber photographed my wedding in December 2022 and my top level review is that Amber is exceedingly good at her job and a total delight to work with. I have long thought of myself as not very photogenic and I was very nervous about getting my picture taken. Amber instantly put both me and my partner at ease. And her photographs, both from the engagement session and the wedding, came out beautifully. They capture the spirit, energy and ambiance of the event. The photos aren’t overly stylized, she didn’t enforce a particular viewpoint. They’re just delightful, well-framed, well-lit snapshots from the night. On a technical note, most of my wedding happened after dark and I was worried the photographs would turn out blurry but Amber managed to capture clean photographs throughout the event. I’m not planning to get married again, but if I were to, I’d hire Amber again in a heartbeat.

The second we saw Amber’s pictures we knew she was the one. My husband is a photographer so this was the one thing he was very particular about and he fell in love with her photography and style – there was no question about it! Throughout the whole process Amber and her team were so helpful and quick in responding to every question we had. I also had a very specific request to take pictures at Prospect Park (not walking distance from my hotel where she met us at first, or the venue) and she was so happy to travel all over Brooklyn making sure we got the picture we wanted! Our pictures came out amazing and exceeded every single one of our expectations – and she also delivered them so quickly! Amber was a joy to work with and joy to be around – I would recommend her a million times over!!

Amber was absolutely incredible and we love our photos. We were looking for a photographer who could be a fly on the wall and deliver images of real emotions rather than staged photos, and we definitely got that. The process was smooth and Amber was very very nice and easy to work with (even for the photo-shy groom). In retrospect, we would have added an hour of overtime.
