About

Hey! Thanks for stopping by! I'm Amber a photographer based in the Clearwater/Tampa, FL area but willing and ready to go anywhere! I love going on adventures, seeing new places, trying new food and coffee shops, visiting local breweries, hitting up concerts, and experiencing new things all with camera attached, of course!

I love documenting the moments and emotions of life which is how I found my niche with wedding photography. I am passionate about being the one to capture every minu.e of love, laughter, excitement, and happiness on the day that you will remember forever. It gives me all the good feel.

So, in case you were wondering, how did i get here? I always have had appreciation for creating and viewing art. With that interest, I took photography classes in college and learned more about how the camera works, how to develop film, and how to process my own prints in the darkroom.

While this was an amazing experience and a great base for starting photography, I knew I wanted more. I purchased my first DSLR in 2012 and started shooting families and couples, eventually working myself up to photographing weddings.

I immediately fell in love with photographing the connection between couples.

As for my style, it has evolved over time but I found a work style that is unique and that I can call mine. I would describe my photography as a photo-journalistic style. I am there to tell your story and to document your day. My style is accentuated by taking in all of the surrounding areas and creatively using them to enhance my photos. I love sunshine and use natural lighting as often as i can to produce photos that have a more genuine feel.

So enough about me. I am excited you are here and thank you for stopping by, but now let me get the chance to learn more about you.

Small Intimate Wedding

I would like to introduce you to an exceptional photographer. We were so thankful that Amber McWhorter was able to photograph the intimate house wedding of my son Tyler to Medhini. Amber’s communication was excellent. She gladly accepted our suggestions and had many ideas of her own. She captured the joy of the day when our families came together in such a beautiful way. All the pictures are amazing. So many to choose from. Amber is kind and professional and exceeded our expectations in every way. She is now our “Family Photographer.”

Micro Beach Wedding

Amber photographed our micro beach wedding in august, and she was nothing short of amazing. The photos are absolutely breathtaking. More than that, she was a huge help in planning everything and keeping things running calm while other mishaps occurred. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Amber is incredible!

I could not say more amazing things about Amber! From the very beginning all the way through the delivery of the pictures, we had a great experience. She is such a talent, knows exactly what she's doing, and made us feel so comfortable. Not to mention, we also received the pictures so much faster than I thought we would. Please go book her, you won't regret it!

Captured Our Day Perfectly

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Amber McWhorter for both our engagement photos and wedding day, and we could not be more grateful. From start to finish, Amber was incredibly organized, professional, and thoughtful in her approach. During our engagement shoot, she made us feel so at ease — and that comfort carried through beautifully on our wedding day.

Despite how hectic the day was, Amber made sure to prioritize the specific photos we had requested, never missing a beat. Beyond that, she captured all of the photos that we didn’t even know we needed.

She has a special way of making you feel natural and relaxed, which truly shines through in every image. The photos turned out more beautiful than we ever imagined — I honestly never dreamed I would have wedding photos this stunning.

One thing that especially amazed me was how Amber handled the little imperfections — I had a few (…but rather significant) dress and skin issues on the big day, but you’d never know from the photos. She worked some kind of magic and made everything look flawless, all while keeping the lighting and moments incredibly natural and timeless. Her talent and attention to detail are nothing short of miraculous.

Amber didn’t just take photos — she captured every precious moment with care, authenticity, and an artistic eye. If you’re looking for a photographer who is both professional and warm, and who will deliver photos that are timeless, glowing, and full of heart—Amber is your person. She truly gave us memories we’ll cherish forever.

Best Photographer in the Tampa Bay Area

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Amber for our wedding at Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club. Our wedding was originally in October and postponed to February due to hurricane Milton. Amber was extremely flexible, professional and great to work with! From the first consultation to the final gallery delivery, every step of the process was smooth and enjoyable.

Lakewood Ranch is a stunning venue, and Amber captured its beauty perfectly—from the grand ballroom to the lush greens and golden hour over the fairways. Amber had an incredible eye for detail and made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, which really shows in our photos. The candid moments, emotional shots, and romantic portraits are everything we hoped for and more.

On the day of the wedding, Amber was punctual, organized, and worked seamlessly with our planner and other vendors. Amber kept us on schedule without making us feel rushed and was an absolute joy to have around—friendly, calming, and genuinely excited to capture our day.

The final photos were delivered on time, beautifully edited, and presented in a gorgeous online gallery. We’ve already received so many compliments on them, and we’ll treasure them forever.

If you’re getting married in the Tampa Bay Area do yourself a favor and book Amber McWhorter. You won’t regret it!

Amazing Experience

We are so thrilled with our experience working with Amber! The photos we’ve received so far are absolutely beautiful—she captured the natural colors of the day so perfectly and truly brought out the magic in every moment.

From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and so easy to work with. She gave us just the right amount of direction when it came to posing, which made us feel confident and relaxed in front of the camera.

Not only did she deliver stunning images, but she also played such an important role in keeping our day on track. She managed the timeline seamlessly while making sure we got every shot we had requested—plus some amazing candid moments we didn’t even realize she caught!

She genuinely went above and beyond, and we can’t wait to see the rest of our gallery. I can’t recommend her enough to any couple looking for a photographer who is both talented and truly invested in making your day unforgettable.

We loved working with Amber!

Amber got so many fantastic photos of our son's wedding. It is going to be hard to choose what photos to pick to put into a keepsake parents' photo album!

She did a phenomenal job at making sure there was a photo of pretty much every person who was there that day.

The formal and candid shots were superb!

We absolutely loved Amber!! She captured all of our favorite moments and made us feel so comfortable the entire time.

No regrets, just book her!!

Amber did a beautiful job capturing all of the precious memories from our November wedding. She was very calm under pressure, even dealing with our hyper dog during engagement photos and a strict timeline during the wedding day. I’m so happy with how all of our photos turned out and will absolutely recommend her to anyone in the Tampa Bay Area!
