We are so happy we chose Amy to be our wedding photographer. Amy did a great job communicating with us throughout the planning process. She set clear expectations and helped make sure that our schedule (including when to take photos) would work well. We also appreciated not feeling “nickel-and-dimed” - the contract included the engagement session and a second photographer, free photo downloads for friends and family, and didn’t require us to specify the number of hours of coverage.

It was also very important to us to have a wedding photographer who wasn’t just accepting of a gay couple, but was a proud LGBTQ ally. Amy was very thoughtful to avoid using hetero-normative terms. While that may seem like a small thing, hearing terms like “bridal party” (even when done so innocently) as one of two grooms getting married can get tiresome.

Most importantly, we are THRILLED with our photos. We wanted a wedding photographer who would capture the day as we remembered it. We didn’t want photos that looked over-processed or too bright/dark. Amy and her second photographer captured all of the small details, formal/family portraits, and spontaneous moments from our day, and she delivered photos to us that were well-composed and edited. Our wedding day went by in a flash, but every time we look back through our pictures, we smile as we’re reminded of all of the amazing, special moments from that day. As an added bonus, our photos were ready way faster than promised, just a couple of weeks after our wedding!

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Happy Gnome Photography to anyone, and we can’t think of anything that Amy could have done better.

Can’t say enough how amazing Amy was. Started with our first conversation through the whole wedding. Very organized and cares about not only pictures but that little hiccups if she can help fix she was there! Pictures were beyond stunning

Amy with Happy Gnome Photography was the absolute best. From our very first meeting, I knew she'd be such fun to work with - from engagement photos to the wedding day. Not only is she an amazing photographer; she also is a blessing leading up to and the day of the wedding. She takes on so many roles when needed and is so helpful, organized, and the best at bustling. :) Forgot something on your wedding day? She's there for you. Her photos are a perfect reflection of us as a couple and truly made our day amazing.
