Amelia is the best!

Amelia is wonderful! From meeting her for cupcakes before our engagement photos, showing her around our alma matter’s campus for engagement photos, to the wedding day were she helped coordinate everything. She coordinated a second shooter to get every detail of our day, she sang baby shark to the little ones to get them to smile during pictures, and she made sure me and my husband had everything we needed. She is such a kind hearted person and truly made our wedding day one we will remember forever!

The Sweetest Soul With Extreme Talent!

Amelia was without a doubt our favorite vendor from our wedding. We got to chat and get to know her a bit more before we booked and then had a dreamy evening capturing our fall engagement photos. She makes you feel like a million bucks and gets you smiling so big you have to take a smile break! There was a chance of rain all day on our wedding day and her presence was so calming, spinning it to a positive that the lighting was perfect for photos. She works amazing with family and getting them in to place for photos. Her art of capturing the perfect moment is priceless and her editing style does not take away the natural beauty of your surroundings. The photos are absolutely timeless and we will enjoy all our photos forever and ever. We cannot wait for the next excuse to get professional photos taken by Amelia, she truly is the brightest light and trust her to capture every important moment in my life. Book Amelia now!

Talented, helpful, sweet, & fun!

My now husband and I had to change wedding photographers to someone more local than our og photographer due to COVID. Amelia was very flexible with our quick change. She helped us not only plan our pictures but also our wedding timeline! She has a lot of experience which helped us make small changes to make our wedding events go smoothly. She has a very outgoing, kind, and fun personality. We had a lot of family pictures that we wanted and we were worried that we would not have time. Amelia was very efficient and made sure we got all the photos we wanted. Our family members said she was very enjoyable to work with too. My husband and I are in love with her quality and style of photos! She captured our wedding day perfectly! Highly recommend hiring Amelia!

Awesome Photographer

Amelia was an absolute delight to work with! We had to change our plans and cancel our photographer last minute due to COVID-19, and Amelia was willing to be our photographer with just under one month's notice! She was incredibly flexible, and very personable. She met with us over video chat, and helped us to feel a lot more confident in our photography timeline for our special day. She was able to go through our various family photos very quickly, and had great ideas for different poses and places to go! If you're wanting a photographer that will make you feel comfortable, get a bunch of good photos, and have lots of ideas, choose Amelia!

A true joy to work with!

We had the best experience with Amelia for our Engagement Pictures and for our Wedding this fall! I chose Amelia based on reviews on wedding wire and it was not a mistake! She is fun, bubbly, and makes you feel comfortable being yourself! She captured our wedding better than we could have ever imagined possible. Photos were STUNNING and we received them back so so quickly! I feel lucky to have found such a great photographer but even better person! I know we will be calling Amelia for years to come for family and futures baby photos! She was a true joy to work with as well as her assistant Erin! Thank you so much Amelia!

One of the best photographers I have ever worked with!

I had the honor of working with Amelia at a wedding this summer. I was the videographer. Amelia was a pleasure to work with and I was highly impressed with her attention to detail, creativity and how she interacted with everyone during the wedding day. She even found time to edit a few pictures in between the wedding and ceremony and was able to show them during the reception. After the wedding I was able to see the pictures she took and read the blog post she created detailing the wedding day. What amazing pictures and uplifting and positive comments in her blog. I would love to work with her again and I have already recommended her as a photographer to some of my wedding clients.
