The best photographer on the coast.

Amy was amazing from start to finish. So attentive to all our needs made sure to have the perfect shot and light. Was easy to work with from the first day we spoke to her on the phone to when we met and to this day still the best so glad we had her by our side for the perfect day in our life's.

After the wedding, photos are all you have. Make them great!!

AMAZING PHOTOS! Amy did her homework and talked with us to get to know us and what we were looking for in our wedding photos. True professional, Worked quickly. Got all of the photos we were looking for, and the ones we hadn't thought of. As time goes on, after the wedding, you realized how important the photos, and the story she tells are.. When all is said and done, you want to make sure you have great photos. Amy is the one. She takes pride in her work, and it shows. Could not be happier about having her photograph our wedding. She also helped in coordinating the whole day, helping in making things run smoothly.

Amazing pictures and professionalism

We had a great experience with Amy and her team and highly recommend her! We got married in LA but planned the wedding from SF. From the start she was super responsive, met with us virtually, and answered many questions as they came up all the way to the wedding week. She helped us put our schedule together, gave her professional advice on what we should and shouldn’t do, and fit in all of our desires. We decided last minute to do bridal party pictures at the house instead of hotel room, and she was very accommodating, and came out to the house, which was quite a drive for her! She took beautiful pictures during the wedding, kept it fun but also on schedule, and turned around a highlight of the pictures within a day.

A true artist

Amy is not just a random person who picked up a nice camera and shoots photos as a second job. She is a true professional who continues to further her education and expertise in photojournalism. Amy did a wonderful job on both our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. She captured so many wonderful moments during our special day! I highly recommend her to any bride that wants quality photos that capture all the special moments.

Amazing human and talented photographer!

Amy was fantastic, detailed oriented, organized, and gave us the best photos for our special day. We worked with her for both our engagement and our wedding. Her calm demeanor, positive attitude, flexibility, and eye for great photo opportunities gave us beautiful photos we will treasure forever. Leading up to our photo sessions, Amy ensured that we had all the information we needed for our wedding and made sure all the details were ironed out so the day went smoothly. Amy was amazing with communication and pre and post wedding and we highly recommend her when it comes to your photography needs!

Professional, stylish, and accommodating!

Amy was an amazing photographer at our wedding. We genuinely enjoyed working with her. She was professional and polite, but she kept us on our schedule so that we could get back to our friends and families for the reception and party. She captured a very real and emotional day for us and the photos are stunning.
I’ve worked (as back-up videographer) with a number of other Photographers at weddings and I must say Amy is my favorite to work with. She’s willing to go the extra mile to make your most important day as perfect as possible. Her attention to detail and styles sets her above the rest. Thanks Amy!!

Big City Artistry and Service, Small Town Service

Amy has a excellent artistic and detail-oriented eye. Every aspect of her work rivals the quality of big-city photographers. She also is well-connected and regarded by the wedding community in SLO. Her recommendations of vendors uniformly were top-notch. Amy also served as an informal coordinator for us, which eased out-of-town planning.

Amazing from start to finish

Amy was amazing from the start. She was so helpful and even when I wanted to get a picture on pismo beach (as that’s were we got engaged) she was only more than happy to make it happen.
Amy fitted right in with everyone at the wedding and to be honest most of the time
I forgot Amy was there haha.
Everyone at the wedding kept saying how nice she is and how great she is at her job.
I couldn’t wait to see the pictures and when they arrived I was blown away with the presentation of them. The pictures turned out better than I ever could of thought and everyone loved them.
We can not recommend Amy enough she is brilliant and a perfectionist and her work is amazing.

Do yourself a favor and choose her

We cannot understate the effect Amy and her team had on our wedding.
From putting our minds at ease months ahead of time at the engagement shoot.
To giving our rehearsal some much needed structure.
To finally taking breathtaking images on the actual day.
Simply put, she was a lifesaver.
We couldn't be happier with the pictures she captured.

Amy is the consummate professional.
My entire family kept remarking on me how much they liked her.
Her calm demeanor was the perfect counterbalance to the craziness of a wedding.
Her competence is only eclipsed by her remarkable talent at photography.
My only regret is that we didn't take a picture with her.
We would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
