I went through dozens of blind portfolio tests and I gravitated to Amy's photos every single time! Her style is unique, perfectly capturing the candid and human moments, while beautifully immortalizing all of the details. Amy listens to your wants and really goes the extra mile to capture your vision. She's fun, and easy to work with, and we all felt comfortable just being ourselves.

Choosing Amy Sims as our wedding photographer is a decision we will never stop being grateful for.

We got married this past February at the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg — a place that holds so much meaning for us as a couple. Finding a photographer who could capture us in an environment we loved so deeply, someone who would notice and preserve all the small details around us that day, mattered more to us than anything. Amy did exactly that, and then some.

She took the time to understand us as a couple and learn what we wanted to feel when we looked back at our photos. It shows in every single image. She had this incredible ability to catch candid moments — the funny, unscripted, unforgettable ones that had our guests in tears of laughter — and preserve them so perfectly that when people saw the photos, their reaction was genuinely "how did she even get that shot?" She also gave confident direction during portraits so we never felt awkward or lost in front of the camera. That balance of the two made us feel natural and relaxed.

Even before the wedding, Amy always showed up. Our engagement shoot was freezing and incredibly windy, and without hesitation she accommodated a last minute location change indoors — and still delivered stunning photos. On the wedding day itself, Amy was a calm, professional anchor through all the moving pieces and emotions. We never once felt stressed because we simply trusted her completely.

When we look at our photos now, we can relive the exact feeling we had in each moment. We cannot recommend and thank Amy enough!

Amy was an absolute dream to work with - warm, friendly, and incredibly professional from start to finish. She made us feel comfortable right away, kept everything running smoothly on the day, and managed to capture our wedding so wonderfully while doing so. We are so happy with our photos too - they're absolutely gorgeous! She made sure to capture some great moments - including getting some beautiful couples photos in the sunset since she knew it would be more colorful after it rained earlier in the day. We are so happy to have had her as a photographer during our wedding and we can't recommend her enough!

Amy was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She photographed both our engagement shoot and our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and captured such natural, beautiful moments. On the wedding day, Amy was calm, professional, and seamlessly captured every important detail without ever feeling intrusive. The photos are stunning and truly tell the story of our day. We’ll cherish them forever and can’t recommend Amy highly enough.

Choosing Amy as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Working with Amy was so much fun as she learned our dream vision and offered suggestions without ever imposing. We had chosen a small dimly lit venue which could pose a challenge to photography but Amy was able to easily blend in to the party to capture the natural energy of the night. Amy really offered the best combination of professional guidance and results while also feeling like we chose a friend that understood that we also wanted to have fun on our wedding night! The photos we have from our families, ceremony and reception are all gorgeous and we were happy to have Amy as a guest as well.

We had the pleasure of working with Amy as our wedding photographer, and she absolutely exceeded our expectations! Despite the sweltering heat on our big day, Amy remained professional, energetic, and incredibly accommodating, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted without any stress. Her talent for capturing candid moments was spot-on—she nailed those genuine, heartfelt interactions between guests and us that we'll cherish forever. We also loved our engagement shoot around our neighborhood of NYC. If you're looking for a skilled, reliable photographer who thrives under pressure, Amy is fantastic.

We’re so glad we chose Amy as our wedding photographer in 2023! Beyond just taking incredible photos, she brought a sense of organization to what felt like a chaotic day for me (even though everything went smoothly thanks to all of our vendors—it was just a crazy day!). She always seemed to know exactly where to be at the right moment and kept everything moving smoothly.

Before the wedding, she also shot our engagement photos and made us feel much more comfortable in front of the camera. She was incredibly accommodating and perceptive, which made the whole experience feel natural and easy.

On our wedding day, despite the downpour, she found the perfect opportunity when the rain stopped to whisk us outside for some gorgeous shots around our venue—something I really appreciated. She also did an amazing job wrangling family members for group shots and stayed patient throughout it all. And, to top it off, when my mom had trouble zipping up my dress, Amy was there to help—something I wasn’t expecting but was so grateful for!

What stood out to me the most was how, throughout the wedding, I barely even noticed where she was—yet she was always in the perfect spot to capture the moment. The candid shots she took are some of my favorites, and a huge reason why I chose her in the first place. Looking back at the photos, I can’t help but smile every time.

Amy truly cares about her craft, and it shows in every photo. She’s a true professional, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

Choosing Amy as our photographer was one of the best decisions we could have made, from our engagement shoot to our wedding! Her photos are amazing and beautiful, and she definitely captured wonderfully every moment of our big day. She has so much talent in taking candid photos, and we love her true-to-life style. Neither of us really knew what we were doing in front of a camera, but she was immensely helpful with poses and put us at ease. Amy is a consummate professional, extremely communicative, and truly a dream to work with. We couldn’t be happier with her work!

Amy Sims is an incredible photographer and my husband I and could not be happier with our engagement and wedding photography. Most simply, Amy and her assistant perfectly captured our special day.

Firstly, Amy was extremely communicative and transparent, setting and managing clear expectations for what we should anticipate for both our engagement photos and our wedding day. She is also incredibly prepared – through her intake forms and general questions to us and bride and groom, Amy collected a strong understanding of what we were looking for and how to prioritize our requests. In our pre-wedding interactions, we really felt as if Amy got to know us as a couple and appreciated what made us unique in order to reflect that in our photos.

Day of, Amy was a true professional, providing clear advice on how to pose for group shots, especially to our friends and family who were not as comfortable in having their pictures taken, all without being overbearing or off-putting. Amy went above and beyond as a trusted companion by applying her experience and natural instincts to help us relax and enjoy each moment. Through a few stressors pre-ceremony, Amy was a calming presence and I am we were so grateful to have her support throughout the evening.

We were so excited to receive our digital album in the months following our wedding as we instantly transported back to the big day. Thank you, Amy!

Working with Amy is a highlight of our wedding experience! From engagement to months after the wedding, she is a partner to us in making our wedding experience exactly what we want it to be. Amy is a master at camouflaging into the environment of the day and using that perspective to capture the most special moments that you might otherwise miss.

When planning a wedding and coordinating with so many vendors, it is so valuable to have a partner who you not only don't have to stress about, but brings you calm and guidance. You will be so happy with not only your photos but the experience of partnering with Amy for your wedding!
