Amber and Shelly we're amazing to work with. They made us feel so comfortable the whole day and captured the most beautiful pictures and moments on our big day. They were so fast getting our pictures back to us and since we've gotten them back we haven't stopped looking at them and smiling. My husband and I can't wait to work with Amber and Shelly again one day in the future :)

We booked Amber and Shelly for our wedding in August and could not be more pleased with our decision! From the beginning, Amber was so easy to work with and quickly started to feel like a friend! She is really passionate about what she does and she and Shelly make a great team! They made stressful times funny, listened to what my husband and I wanted out of our photos and allowed the day to be about us. She was familiar with our venue and had worked with my hair and make up team on numerous weddings which also made the flow of the day really easy. I would recommend Amber J to any bride!

We loved working with Amber and Shelly for our wedding. Amber is fun, down to earth, professional, flexible, quick to respond, and most importantly, made my husband and I feel very comfortable in our photos with her. The end result was stunning - we adore our engagement and wedding pictures. I will definitely be booking with Amber again for future photography needs.

I am a very thoughtful, planful, organized person so I put a TON of research into who I wanted as a wedding photographer. I am SO incredibly pleased with the work Amber and Shelly did with us! They were professional, fun, and exactly what I was looking for! I was pretty clear on what pictures I was looking for and they not only captured those shots, but they also captured so many more that I am in love with. Thank you doesn't even cover it! (My husband is pretty pleased too ;) )

We were referred to Amber by our venue, and as soon as we met her and Shelley we knew they would be a perfect fit for our wedding. Their upbeat attitudes, easygoing personalities, and fun sense of humor were exactly what we were looking for. They went above and beyond to make sure that we felt comfortable, and provided great direction for the shots they were looking for. Any suggestions we had for additional pictures were met with a smile. They use an online planning tool to schedule the day which was a great help with coordinating the bridal party and additional vendors.

I'm not one that was super worried about my pictures because I knew I was in great hands. Amber and Shellie take phenomenal pictures and have great vision. I didn't have any set photos in mind that I absolutely needed to have taken but they captured our Wedding Day/ engagement shoot perfectly. The pictures are beautiful and we couldn't be happier.

Amber J Photography was the best choice we could've made for our wedding day photographer. They were onboard for any shot we wanted to get and made our rainy day wedding shine with what they were able to capture! Amazing and awesome - we couldn't have asked for more <3

Amber and Shelly were just wonderful, our wedding pictures could not have been more beautiful, it rained for our ceremony, which was planned to be outside, and Amber and Shelly made the best out of the situation and turned it into positive. We have amazing pictures, some of them like out of a magazine, the ones with the umbrella are specially cool. Love everything about the package we got, including the album, our pics published in Amber's blog, and our whole set of pictures.
Thanks very much Amber and Shelly for helping make our day so special.

Our daughter was married at Maple Shade Farm in Delhi, This past June 2016, Amber and her equally wonderful associate, beautifully captured the essence of the day. She was with us from morning and into the night and presented us with an array of shots that took advantage of all the shades of light as well as the various settings. You work so hard on the details of a wedding and it was amazing to see them in print from the day of. Our daughter's wedding was edgy rustic. There were so many special moments from the first look to dancing and barn decor to mention a few. The days speeds by and Amber's photo journal evokes memories of all those special moments as well as a candid portrayal of the experience.
I would recommend providing a list of special people or specific items you want included from your day. Kudos Amber J Photography for a lovely remembrance of an incredible wedding day journey.

If I had to do it all over again, my husband and I would most definitely choose Amber as our photographer. Amber and Shelly were a wonderful team and perfectly captured so many special moments. They were awesome to work with, kind, responsive, and are amazing photographers. We are so happy with our wedding album and had a great time working with Amber and Shelly. I would most definitely recommend them!
