silent A photography is built on the belief that every love story deserves to be told with honesty, beauty, and heart. For more than 15 years, we’ve been capturing weddings that reflect not only how the day looked, but how it truly felt. From the excitement of getting ready, to the quiet in-between glances, to the laughter and tears that fill the celebration, our goal is to preserve the authentic moments couples will want to relive for a lifetime.

Our journey began with formal training at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, and since then silent A photography has grown through years of experience, countless weddings, and a passion for storytelling. Based in the Lake Tahoe and Truckee area, we are constantly inspired by the stunning backdrops that surround us—sparkling lake shores, towering pines, and snow-capped mountains that create unforgettable settings for “I do.”

What makes silent A photography different is the way we connect with couples. A relaxed, natural approach keeps clients comfortable in front of the camera, while humor and warmth set the tone for images that feel joyful and real. With a background in stand-up comedy, we bring laughter to the wedding day, helping couples and their loved ones relax. And with training as a yoga instructor, we guide couples into poses that not only look natural and flattering but also allow them to feel calm and grounded in the moment.

We specialize in full-day wedding coverage, from morning preparations to the last dance under the stars. Every gallery is carefully curated and professionally edited in our signature style, telling a story that is timeless and true. silent A photography doesn’t just document weddings—we create visual legacies.

At the heart of it all, silent A photography is about love, connection, and storytelling. We are honored to capture life’s most cherished moments and to give couples a way to step back into their wedding day again and again.

Perfect Shots!

Ms. Dodson did an absolutely incredible job at our event. She brings the spark, energy, and personality you want in a photographer someone who keeps you focused, comfortable, and confidently posing on your special day. There are no do-overs in moments like these, and you need a true professional who can guide, direct, and inspire you to look your best.

Ambera delivered exactly that. She handled every part of the process with calm, polished professionalism, all while making the experience fun and engaging. She offered tremendous value not just in the quality of the images, but in the way she prepared, communicated, and ensured we felt taken care of from start to finish. She coached us through poses, wasn’t afraid to suggest a quick redo to capture the perfect shot, and showed us previews along the way to give us confidence in how beautiful everything was turning out.

We cannot recommend Silent A highly enough for your next event. The professionalism, the value, and the final results exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier.

A moment captured

Our wedding day was unforgettable, but this moment captured everything we felt all at once. The joy, the nerves, the deep love between us, and the magic of finally standing together ready to say our vows. The way this photo froze the exact second one of us turned to see the other smiling so sincerely still brings tears to our eyes. You can feel the excitement, the comfort, and the pure happiness.

The lighting, the timing, and the emotion could not have been captured more beautifully. It is more than a photo, it is a memory we can step back into. Every time we look at it, we are reminded of how perfect that moment was and how supported and seen we felt throughout our entire day.

Last Minute Wedding Booking

Ambera was an absolute joy to work with. She captured every special moment in our wedding plus more.
We were scrambling for a last minute photographer 3 days before our special day and Ambera contacted us back in a timely matter and was so excited to help us out.
Our photos were back to us within 2 weeks and turned out phenomenal. The price was VERY reasonable and well worth the quality. She puts her heart into what she does and doesn’t settle for anything but what you ask for. Highly recommend for any special occasion.

Saved the Day!

Ambera was a live saver! Our first photographer cancelled on us 2 days before our wedding, so we reached out to silent A photography and Ambera responded right away. She was very willing to work with us on our budget and time frame, and we could not be happier with the results. She took great pictures and gave us all the direction we needed. And she fit right in with our family and friends to capture our special day, so everyone felt at ease. We are so thankful to have found her on such short notice and really appreciated her ability to work with us while also telling us what to do. I hope she had as much fun as we did!

South Lake Tahoe wedding

We had our wedding in South Lake Tahoe and we’re so happy we chose Silent A Photographer! Ambera was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She made us feel so comfortable and captured every special moment so beautifully. On top of her professionalism and talent, she even went out of her way to run to the store to grab something we had forgotten — truly going above and beyond! We are so grateful for her and highly recommend Silent A Photographer to any couple looking for a caring, dedicated, and talented photographer.

She Captured the Magic!

We couldn't be happier with our wedding photographer, Ambera! Her professionalism was exceptional, and from the moment we began working together, she made everything feel easy and stress-free. Our ceremony took place in Fort Greene Park, a busy public setting, yet Ambera masterfully framed each shot to create a sense of intimacy and focus on our special moments. Her natural warmth and humor shows in her work, and her candids were every bit as good as the posed photos.

She handled large groups and crowd control with ease, expertly directing everyone through the group photos, which significantly streamlined the process and kept everything organized and enjoyable.

The images Ambera delivered were beautifully edited, with excellent color quality, and arrived exactly when promised. We wholeheartedly recommend Ambera for any event—she truly captured our wedding day perfectly.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
