Paperbird Photography

My husband and I had a very small Friday afternoon wedding at the courthouse and Amy did a fantastic job. We had a short engagement (engaged in December 2023 and married in April 2024!) but Amy was fine with the short notice and we even managed to fit an engagement session in 1 month before the wedding.

Amy was a pleasure to work with and was super prepared! She put on my husband’s boutonnière, helped my sister pin me into my dress, and had all the emergency essentials in her bag. She made everyone feel comfortable and taking our wedding pictures was so much fun!

The pictures themselves are amazing, we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. I would highly recommend Paperbird Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Amy (and co-photographer Lauren) were both wonderful on our wedding day, and their creative vision led to some of the most beautiful photographs we've seen! Amy was responsive and flexible, willing to work with us to find a photography package which wasn't listed on her offerings, but still fit the middle ground between our budget and photography needs. We highly recommend her!

Amy was amazing! She shot our elopement pictures and was so great to work with. She is so talented, professional, friendly and makes you feel at ease during the whole session. She sent us the results of her fantastic pictures very quickly (we did get married in the off season) and I was in awe of the amazing shots she capture. Thank you, Amy!

Where do I even begin with Amy?!

From day one, she just got us. In our search for wedding photographers in the area, it was really important to Aron and me that we chose someone who genuinely values and embraces LGBTQ+ relationships … not just someone who says they do, but someone who truly means it. Amy absolutely lived up to that. We felt celebrated, respected, and completely at ease from our very first conversation.

Then we gave her what can only be described as an extremely detailed, slightly unhinged vision board, and instead of being scared off, she fully leaned in. She understood the assignment in a way that made us feel so seen.

On the wedding day, she wasn’t just our photographer … she felt like part of the crew. She bonded with our family and friends instantly, made everyone feel comfortable, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. She made us feel relaxed, loved, and fully present in the moment. Multiple family members told us afterward, “Your photographer was AMAZING,” which says a lot because our families do not hand out compliments lightly.

And the photos?! Aron and I were completely blown away. She captured the big emotional moments and the tiny in-between ones we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through them feels like stepping back into the best day of our lives. We’ll cherish these forever.

If you want someone who listens, cares deeply, celebrates love in all its forms, brings calm energy, and executes your very specific (possibly chaotic) vision flawlessly — Amy is your person. We are so, so grateful and cannot stress how much you’ll thank yourself for hiring Amy to take your photos.

Words truly cannot describe how much Amy from Paperbird added to our special day. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, every single image turned out absolutely stunning. The turnaround time for previews and the full gallery was incredibly quick, and the moments she captured were beyond anything we could have hoped for. Amy is more than just a photographer — she helps keep the timeline on track, makes sure you’re feeling comfortable and confident, and genuinely cares about your experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture such an important day.

We had the best time taking engagement and wedding photos with Amy at Paperbird! From the start, she made us feel so comfortable, and absolutely fit our vision for our wedding day. Amy made sure our photos were beautiful and captured the aesthetic of our wedding, but she also helped us laugh all day, have quiet moments together, and spend time with our loved ones. On your wedding day, you probably spend the most time with your new spouse and your photographer-- make sure you love their company as much as we loved Amy's!

We found Amy after falling in love with her photos of George Peabody Library weddings — she captured both the incredible architecture and the warmth of the celebrations so beautifully. When we started planning our own wedding, we knew we wanted that same magic, and Amy did not disappoint!

From our very first meeting, she was friendly, organized, and instantly put us at ease. During our engagement shoot in Georgetown, she even climbed a cliff to get the perfect shot! We’re not naturally camera people, but Amy helped us relax — before long, we forgot she was there and just enjoyed ourselves, and it truly shows in the photos.

On our wedding day, Amy and her team arrived early and worked seamlessly with all our vendors. She was somehow everywhere at once, capturing every candid glance and joyful reaction, while managing our (very large!) family portraits quickly and gracefully.

Our photos are absolutely stunning — full of light, emotion, and genuine moments. They’re so beautiful that we honestly feel like they belong on the cover of a magazine. We can’t recommend Amy enough, especially for couples getting married at the George Peabody Library. She knows how to bring out the beauty of both the place and the people in it. We can’t wait for Amy to capture more of our milestones in the future!

I reached out to Amy for a very last minute need and she made it happen - and captured our day so perfectly. They are memories we will cherish forever and mean so much to my family. Amy somehow brought out smiles, laughs, intense gazes, natural poses, and angles we didn't even know existed. She helped us to feel so natural when we were being photographed, and focused on capturing our true selves over overly staged and perfected moments. The way she edited the photos made them look even more magical than we thought they could be. She was fantastic, and we so hope to work with Amy again in the future!

Amy was great for us for our engagement photoshoot and on our wedding day! She brings a sense of calm and creativity that is definitely needed on your wedding day. You can tell she puts a lot of thought into each shot and know how to execute it to make her subjects look their best. From posing, to styling, Amy is great at creating an aesthetic that makes your photos look cohesive. She really does a great job at storytelling through her lens. Amy and her second shooter, Lauren, kept the energy high and fun! We will definitely book her for our next big photoshoot!

Amy was so key to making our day special and capturing so many incredible moments in beautiful photos. We had a great time working with her and would recommend her to any other couples. Her second shooter, Lindsay, was also amazing. Amy and Lindsay did so much to make the day run smoothly. They were familiar with the venue and suggested a bunch of shooting locations that looked incredible. They also went above and beyond with helping us keep all the photos on track, decide what kinds of shots we wanted to get, and generally help things move smoothly from the photo side of everything. We’re so happy with how the photos came out, and small touches like grabbing us from the reception to shoot a few after-dark photos under the neon signs really made the photos special. Please hire Paperbird!
