Amy was a delight to work with from our first meeting until we received our final images. She and her assistant Arianna's laid back, hands-off approach was exactly what we were looking for, and set everyone at ease. The images captured do an amazing job telling the story of our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the end results!

I'm not even sure where to begin with recommending how AMAZING Amy Raab and her assistant, Allison, were at our wedding this past September. For me, finding the perfect photographer was the most important ingredient in the overall scheme of the wedding festivities. After 2-3 hour long interviews with multiple highly-acclaimed photographers, fortunately for my husband and I, we found the light: AMY!

Upon meeting with her I was completely at ease and really enjoyed our conversation. She wasn't trying to sell or push me as to why I should choose her company. Keep in mind, Amy doesn't shoot a wedding every Saturday and take on just any contract. Because of her talent and the quality of her work, she can afford to be just as selective as the bride.

Her gorgeous photography displayed in her Annapolis studio, along with her personality and beyond pleasant disposition was all it took to move forward with the contract. I booked her about 14 months before my actual wedding, and that was an incredible relief! I had a September 2011 wedding, and moved to California in August 2010, so you can imagine the frustration, stress, and difficulty planning a huge day from the west coast with the time difference, etc.

Amy made this very easy. She is VERY responsive whether it is through email, text, or just calling her cell; I never went an entire 24 hours without hearing at least SOMETHING back from her to put a busy bride's mind at ease. While remaining extremely professional, you can vent to her your frustrations with the wedding planning and she is very helpful as far as recommending other vendors and making the entire process as smooth and painless as possible.

Two weeks before the wedding, Amy and I got everything organized as far as the necessary shots with the wedding party, family, and close friends. She and I arranged the timeline that would occur that Saturday and followed up with her assistant, who would be shooting the groomsmen preparing for the wedding, until we all met at the church. The entire day went so smoothly and beautifully. Amy made it so FUN, not that feeling where the photographer is like "OK, now everyone let's get together, look here, and SMILE". It's not cheeseball photography, or "posey". I filed that shenanigans for my sorority days or facebook. This is your WEDDING, the biggest day of your life. Her approach is more photojournalist and she is actually able to capture the moments that replay your wedding day so magically it can bring you to tears! Her photos were BEYOND BEYOND BEYOND. We were so extremely thrilled with the quality of work she did, and throughout the entire day she was so unobtrusive I was worried that I may only have got a couple hundred pictures. As it turns out, her and her assistant shot over thousands of photos but they are so good at what they do, it's like they are not even there. We are so pleased with the outcome of our pictures we know we hit the jackpot with having Amy Raab shoot our wedding.

If there is one thing you want to be confident when going through your wedding checklist, it's the photographer. With that being said, if you are in the Annapolis area, you want your photographer to be Amy Raab, and better hope your date isn't already reserved by some other lucky bride!

Amy is fantastic! For us, the wedding photographs were important because we will have them forever. We knew upon meeting Amy that she was a perfect fit. Amy has this great energy that makes posing for photos natural and fun. She only accepts a few weddings so she can focus on those and you will indeed get her focus. Amy is responsive, professional, and talented to boot! She helped coax my camera-shy husband into posing for our engagement session and she found stunning backdrops to shoot us with our dog. On the big day, she and her assistant took so many amazing photos it was a challenge deciding which ones to frame. If you are looking for a skilled photographer who will make the experience a comfortable and easy one, look no further than Amy.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
