Someone you want to spend your special day with

I reached out to various photographers and Amma was the first photographer I heard back from, which really set the bar high for my other vendor selections (in regards to customer service). Not only is Amma professional, kind, and highly talented, she kept everyone calm on wedding day and made us feel extremely comfortable! Even on wedding day when we were running a bit behind, she was as cool as a cucumber. Her skills were also recognized by our venue, that now wants to add her as a preferred vendor (which she deserves). Amma also shot our engagement photos, and did an amazing job, which helped her really get to know us before the big day. She also used a digital intake form (which helped me shape my ideas) and communicated via email/text throughout the planning process. I could not have asked for a better outcome, or person to spend my wedding day with! Thank you Amma!!

Look no further for your dream photographer

We hired Amma when we first started wedding planning in June 2019. Since then we postponed our wedding from September 2020 to September 2021, have done TWO engagement shoots (we did one on our original wedding date) and then of course our wedding day. Each time we met up with Amma we had the BEST time. Amma has a way of making you feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which we were super nervous for) and she is also hilarious and so creative. Amma's photo style is simply beautiful and we have received so many compliments on her photo quality from our guests since receiving our full gallery earlier this week. Amma also sent us a bunch of preview photos two days after our wedding and had our full gallery ready for us exactly 4 weeks later! Such a quick turnaround. We truly gained her as a friend over the past 2.5 years of wedding planning and can't wait to have another excuse to have photos taken with her! If you are looking for a sweet, funny, creative, super responsive photographer for your special day then do not hesitate to hire Amma Rhea Photo.

Exceptional to work with & her work is exceptional!

Amma was truly a dream to work with, professionally and personally. It was just an added bonus that she is An AMAZING photographer and truly has an incredible vision when it comes to capturing special moments. We could not be happier with all the pictures from our wedding, it was actually hard to decide which ones to post on the review!! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with everything she has done. We only want Amma to photograph us for any life events. Truly amazing work.

Amma was the best, most joyful, ray of light to have at our engagement!

I didn't think my dream engagement on the beach could get any better... until Amma did her thing!! It was clear from the moment she approached us (seconds after our engagement) that this was someone I could be comfortable with and share in my sheer joy and surprise. Amma went above and beyond to be in contact with my fiance before the big moment - scoping out the best spot on the beach and sending him updates via text on where to best position himself. More than anything, it's apparent she cares first and foremost about her clients' satisfaction. She smoothly guided us through poses, but also asked what additional shots we may want and perfectly captured both of our families at the surprise dinner that followed the engagement. When we were eagerly awaiting what I thought was just an extended sneak peek, Amma was super accessible, sent text updates on her progress and then delivered our full gallery within a few short DAYS after my surprise engagement dinner... she totally overdelivered! Everyone who sees the photos says the same thing - they captured the emotion above and beyond. I will cherish them forever.

Best Engagement Session!

Amma was beyond a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be happier with our photos! She was so flexible when our original plans changed due to COVID, and continued to be through multiple reschedules. Amma made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable while shooting and it really did just feel like 3 friends hanging out for the afternoon. The laughs were endless with her!

Absolutely Phenomenal - Creative and Talented!

Amma captured our once in a lifetime moment in a way none of us will ever forget. From the start she took a genuine interest in getting to know each of us, understanding the meanings behind every aspect of our wedding, and our vision. She brought great energy and radiated positivity while also helping us feel a sense of calm and comfortability in front of the camera. She gave direction and guidance throughout and made it a fun experience for all. Every shot was taken with extraordinary attention to detail and authentic creativity to produce glamorous and sophisticated photos. She has a great eye for capturing the perfect image and framing the perfect shot. She also worked beautifully with our dog Bubba and his photos came out impeccable. Amma was so much more than just a photographer that day. Thank you for making this such a special day for us!

Professional and Personable

Amma, makes any setting not only look incredible but is friendly, personable and easy to work with. One of the key aspects of a photogrpaher is not only to take the photo but to direct and place the subjects to their best angles, lighting and settings, Amma did an incredible job, she sets a incredible mood and produces glamours, sophisticated photos. Amma ensured our wedding remains memorable forever and captured the ceremony perfectly! Every photo produced was a piece of art.

Absolute Best in the Business

My wife and I had the most incredible experience with Amma from day 1! A year prior to our wedding, we had a phone call with her to see if she would be a perfect match for us. Turns out, it was. She was so energetic and excited from the beginning. My wife and I connected immediately in terms of the ideas they both had and the timeline of the wedding. With Amma, you're practically getting a wedding coordinator as well. She was so fantastic on the timing of all the sessions we had to do the day of the wedding. She brought another photographer (Lior) who was incredible as well. We had such fun with her. She constantly made sure we were laughing and having a good time. Our relationship really turned into a friendship with herat the end of the day.

We did our engagement photoshoot with her as well. That was just a taste of what we knew we would get for the day of our wedding. The photos all came out brilliant. The editing, angles, lighting, etc. were perfect. We really can't thank her enough. We have already talked about doing our 10 year anniversary pictures with her!

I can promise that you will not regret choosing Amma and her team for your special day. We love you from the bottom of our hearts, Amma!

Fantastic Experience

Amma is a rockstar! She is organized, experienced, responsive, and talented. Amma photographed our wedding in Mystic, CT this past September, and we cannot be happier with our pictures. Her use of natural light made our photos look crisp and luminous without appearing overly filtered, and she had the perfect way of coaxing us into poses that were not stiff or awkward. A quick look at Amma's instagram account makes it clear that she is an amazing wedding photographer. What I cannot stress enough is how great she was in all other respects. Leading up to the wedding, she was prompt in responding to all of our questions and providing input on the venue. On the day of, she was extremely organized and helped us stay on schedule - this was no easy feat considering we had 20 people in our wedding party. She was also extremely familiar with Mystic and our venue, and helped select backdrops that were unique and visually stunning. After the wedding, we received our photos on time and were extremely satisfied. Needless to say, from start to finish, working with Amma was a great experience.

A truly wonderful photography experience!

In my opinion, your wedding photographer is one of your most important vendors of the day. So it's crucial you find the best one (that's also not going to drain your budget). We couldn't have wished for a better photographer than Amma! She is so sweet, funny, and great to work with. We had a few phone calls before the big day to get to know each other and to let Amma know our vision for the day. She was so thorough in nailing down the schedule with us and gave us a worksheet so she knew exactly what family photos we needed and backgrounds within our venue we wanted to be in front of. My husband and I can get pretty embarrassed when in front of a camera but Amma (and her second shooter Olivia) put us both at ease and made the whole experience fun and full of love. She even made sure she put in the schedule when sunset was so we could take awesome sunset pictures! She shot amazing detail pictures, candids, portraits and more. Amma was truly a joy to work with and the pictures speak for themselves.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
