About

Documentary-style with a fine-art, film-like aesthetic. That is what you will find with my work. I aim to capture candid moments while also providing natural poses to evoke emotion in a fun, calm, and comfortable atmosphere.

Hiring a photographer is one of the biggest decisions you will make about your wedding day, engagement session or even proposal! The images you receive are going to be hung on your wall, shown to your children, and cherished for years to come. This is such a special and once-in-a-lifetime moment for you.

When deciding on a photographer, the two things to consider are their editing style and their personality. Look for a style that will stand the test of time and capture the beautiful and raw emotion of the day. Also, find someone who you truly feel comfortable being around because, honestly, you will be spending most of the day with them!

I have straightforward pricing that allows you to add as little or as much as you'd like. I know how much time and money goes into preparing for your big day and I'm happy to ease the financial stress. I offer payment plans so you can afford a talented photographer, and have photos and memories that will last a lifetime.

We are OBSESSED with our wedding pictures!! We can’t stop looking at them. We’ve gone through and relived the wedding moment by moment with the pictures. Amy did such an amazing job!! We have gotten numerous compliments on the look and feel the photos have. Amy really captured the FUN everyone had! She also did such a great job at getting pictures of all our guests. It’s almost like another wedding favor for them. They get a nice, professional picture with their significant other or a picture of their kids to keep :)

Amy was professional from the start from negotiating the contract to our first meeting with her. She promptly sent us an outline to fill out and created a timeline to ensure we got all the photos we wanted. Amy even went to our venue to scope out photo spots a month prior and sent me her vision and ideas. She is dedicated to taking quality photos and giving her clients exactly what they want.

The day of the wedding she was on time and had a fun, contagious personality. She was able to get everyone, even the kids, to smile for pictures.

She sent us all of our edited photos within 3 weeks after the wedding. We thoroughly researched reviews for our wedding we are so glad we found Amy!

Some of the comments from guests:
“OMG...these make me love the amazing moments at your wedding!! Please have another one. Geez, we never looked so good on photos before. Must thank your photographers.”

“SO many great reception shots! Like every guest has a great portrait.”

“ALL these pics are SO good!”

Amazing! Just stunning!

If you're looking for timeless photos that capture your special day perfectly, then Amy is the one for you! Amid the pandemic of 2020 and the stress that wedding planning is already known for, contacting Amy was like a dream come true. She was extremely responsive and patient with all of our questions and there wasn't a single detail missed. We are totally obsessed and in love with our wedding photos! The photos are stunning and her photos are exactly how we remember our special day in our minds. It truly shows through her experience, professionalism, kindness, and her ability to make sure that my husband and I could still enjoy our moments as if we were the only ones in the room. As healthcare providers, we were also extremely grateful and impressed with her dedication to keeping everyone involved in the wedding safe, which was another reason why we didn't hesitate to book her services at all. Needless to say, we would choose Amy over and over again and we'll definitely be contacting her for any future memories we want to be captured!

Wonderful Experience

Hiring a photographer for such an important event was very stressful. Amy took the anxiety out of the equation and helped my fiancee and I feel relaxed, both with our decision and in front of the camera. She is incredibly friendly, silly, responsive, and professional all at the same time. Amy's eye for detail is amazing and the photos came out better than I ever could have hoped. I can't wait to use her again in the future! Thank you, Amy!

Excellent photographer in SoCal!!

Amy from Amy Captures Love was our photographer for engagement shoot and wedding. My wife and I both loved Amy's bright and natural style. Amy is professional and very experienced. During our engagement shoot she made us both feel comfortable and was able to clearly guide us through the different poses and photographs. Amy was a pleasure to work with and was very detailed for our wedding. She helped us to create a photography plan including family photos, bridal party and bride and groom photos. My wife's extended family is quite large, but Amy was able to accommodate all of our picture requests on the day of the wedding! Amy helped us to enjoy our wedding day and made both my wife and I feel comfortable through the different photo shoots. I would definitely recommend Amy for anyone looking for an excellent photographer!

Amazing photographer

When considering a photographer, you have to think about the style both you and your significant partner have. We decided to choose Amy because we loved her crisp, freshness and life that breathes through her work. She has been professional, informative, helpful and so easy to work with every step of the way. She is also very flexible in terms of schedule. I felt very safe working with her as I know our pictures would turn out perfect and beautiful, and they all did. We just got our wedding pictures back and they're all beautiful!!! I highly recommend her!!! You would not be disappointed.

Awesome Experience - Highly Recommended!

Picking a photographer for our wedding seemed like such a daunting task due to the high number of photographers in the LA/OC area. Luckily, we found Amy Captures Love through Wedding Wire. From the very first day we first met with Amy, we were sold that she really knows her stuff when it comes to wedding photography. She is extremely knowledgeable, organized, communicative, efficient, creative and everything else you would want in a photographer for your big day.

We are the type of people who had never been in front of a professional camera before (not even an engagement shoot) and Amy made us feel so comfortable and at ease with her directions. Looking back at the photos, you would never be able to tell that we were novices. Amy went above and beyond for us on our wedding day and found the most spectacular photo locations at our venue. She worked exceptionally well with our other vendors, particularly our day-of coordinator. I can honestly say that there were no hiccups during photography due to Amy's communication and timeliness.

The time it took for Amy to edit and send us our photos was extremely fast. When she gives you a time frame, she really delivers. The photos turned out beautiful and everything we could have dreamed of, and they are so easily accessible to us and our family through an online gallery. I have nothing negative to say about my experience with Amy Captures Love and you won't be disappointed if you hire her.

Stress-free wedding experience and fantastic photos

It was lovely to meet someone who was genuinely excited about taking great photos. She knows the area really well and was able to give excellent advice based on what we wanted from our wedding photography.
We felt immediately away ease and she was able to work really well with our particularly grumpy 3 year old.
She turned the pictures round extremely quickly and they were beautiful. We couldn't imagine finding a better photographer.

Beyond my expectations

Photography was my hardest decision, I mean it's what you have left after the wedding, so I expected it to be hard. I interviewed about 5 different photographers via the phone and picked Amy immediately after speaking to her. She is extremely thorough, thoughtful, direct, and saw my vision right away. When we got to Laguna for our engagement pictures, she put us at ease, directed us on poses, and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Her comments while photographing you keep you on your toes and laughing. She is just an all-around cool person to be around.
Timing: IMPRESSIVE!!!! We received all engagement pictures back within 2 weeks and ALL wedding pictures (approx. 1,500 pictures) back before our 30-day mark.
Not only have I referred her multiple times already, I cannot wait to find a reason to use her again. Everyone that sees our wedding pictures are in awe over her art behind the camera.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
