Brilliant Photographer

Amber has exceeded my expectations and provides amazing photographs. With her attention to detail, she has a greater understanding of how to approach events when hired to photograph a wedding, engagement, and family sessions. Amber is hilarious and puts everyone at ease, which makes for great happy faces in photos. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a brilliant photographer!

Outstanding Service & Experience!

Amber exceeded our high expectations. Her eye for great shots, the composition and the quality of the photos were all exceptional. She helped us feel comfortable. She got all the shots we wanted... but it's the shots that we didn't expect that we love the most!

Honestly... we did't even notice her work! She allowed us to enjoy our wedding and our guests... all while not missing a single moment. We appreciated her communication style and professionalism (before, during, and after our big day). We are so pleased with the priceless photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

You want your day to be special... but your photos are what you'll look at for a lifetime. You only have one moment to get it right... and Amber delivered. She even traveled across the country to our destination. Trust Amber for an outstanding photography experience... you will not be disappointed!!

Fall Wedding at Park Winters

Amber was an angel to work with! We had a large wedding party (almost 40 people walking down the aisle!) and Amber was beyond patient with being pulled left and right for pictures. I planned our wedding in 2 months and dropped the ball and did not provide Amber a list of guests I wanted pictures with. However, Amber did a wonderful job capturing photos of almost all of my guests! She was next to us throughout the night and captured every moment we wished to remember. She delivered a usb drive with over 2,000 pictures that were beautifully edited and high quality. We highly recommend Amber McHugh for all your photography needs!

breath taking

I hired Amber to take my daughters wedding pictures and we could not be more happy with them. She was able to capture the most beautiful images that we will be able to cherish for a lifetime. They truly took my breath away. Amber is the sweetest, most kindhearted and professional photographer I have ever met. I would without a doubt recommend using her for any event or occasion.

Amazing Photos!

I met Amber McHugh at a local Bridal Fair and was not only in love with her albums but also her personality. I had to have her photograph our wedding. Amber was so nice, humble, understanding and easy to work with. In fact, I had to reschedule my Fall wedding due to a sudden family death and she made sure she was available for our Spring wedding. Before the big day, Amber and I went over the wedding timeline and I shared the type of pictures I wanted captured (getting ready, ceremony, formal family portraits, candid, reception, dancing, etc). On our wedding day she went with the flow on every delay that occurred and any challenges that may have come up. During our ceremony, we didn't even notice her taking photos which was important because we were in Church. The photos she was able to capture throughout our ceremony and reception were amazing! We were so pleased and happy with the photos when we received them it was difficult for us to decide which photos to leave out of our album. She truly captured every highlight of our special day. Another thing we loved and a huge reason we went with Amber was her impressive eye for composition, lighting, and overall detail and her knowledge of photography. Our photos and album were beautiful. We were even able to order additional album copies for our parents at a really reasonable price. I would absolutely recommend Amber to be your photographer for any special occasion - she truly is amazing!

I absolutely LOVE Amber!
She is so personable, professional, classy, genuinely caring and fun! She has a "gift" for photography, not a mere talent. She has a natural eye for photography and knows how to "capture" the emotion of the moment, as well as the priceless moments that can only be captured through photography, for our precious memories!

Amber loves to get to know her clients and having had her at many different events, she's the icing on top of the cake as far as photographers go! (Yes, wedding cakes, too!)

Amber also has a beautiful taste and is great at giving advice on weddings and other events and details about the events. Top knotch wedding photographer! (She does amazing family, children and couple photos, too!)

I highly recommend her for any special event, especially weddings!

Amber is AMAZING! From our first meeting over coffee, she made me feel as if I had known her forever! She asked all about the details, how my fiancé and I met, what my dream wedding looked like, how she could make me a personalized package that was perfect for us! Periodic calls before the wedding made me feel so much better about the big day. Then out of the blue, she sent us the sweetest card, bottle of wine and a beautiful set of pearls right before the wedding. I wore them as my "something new"!!
My wedding day came and I was so nervous! Amber came early just to make sure my makeup and hair looked perfect for pictures. (She even touched up my makeup after I cried at my ceremony). I'm telling you, she is the best! Incredibly professional, super sweet and down to earth, plus she is like your close girlfriend all in one.
We met 3 weeks later to get all of our images and prints from her. We met at a quaint little brunch spot, reminisced about moments from the wedding and she even surprised me with a canvas of my favorite print! Wow! There are so many reasons you should choose Amber McHugh as your wedding photographer. She is the REAL thing and a true Southern pleasure to know and work beside.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
