Wedding Photography in Richmond

Kelley Blake was hands-down one of the best choices we made for our wedding! Not only are her pictures absolutely stunning and magical, her fun energy and positivity made the day even better. She suggested doing things throughout the day that I hadn’t thought of like a first look with my bridesmaids that turned out to be some of my favorite moments. She never forced anything that felt unnatural and always listened to what we were looking for. She was even able to recognize when people needed a break or were getting nervous and helped calm people down. Within days we had a preview of almost 100 pictures back and the rest within only a few weeks. I can’t believe how well she captured the pure joy of our day and I’m forever grateful for her!! Truly cannot recommend Kelly enough!

Long story made short, you should absolutely hire Kelly!! She is an incredible photographer and person. Kelly truly went above and beyond as our wedding photographer. She’s organized, fun to work with, and knows how to capture a memory to last forever. Working with Kelly ensured we got photos that truly represented us as a couple. We did all the poses you do during weddings but Kelly can really capture the moments in between without you even realizing! As a lesbian couple, Kelly always made us feel comfortable, seen, celebrated, and respected. This was so important to us to have in a wedding photographer and Kelly did it all automatically. We are a bit of a shy couple and Kelly was able to bring out our personalities and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Kimberley has an eye for capturing the moment with her camera. She knows her craft and helped me define my ideas into gorgeous photos. Great prices, ease of access to all photos. I will work with her for all my future photography needs.

Working with Bethany from the very beginning was an absolutely incredible experience. Wedding planning is stressful, but she took out 100% of the stress when it came to photography. Bethany is so energetic, organized, and kind. Words cannot describe how impressed I was by her attention to detail, her decisive and quick thinking as she arranged setups for poses and came up with ideas for shots in a matter of seconds. My entire bridal party was even amazed by her eye for detail and skillful work as she captured portraits and moments from the day. I felt like I was able to sit back and relax, knowing she had everything under control. She was by far my favorite professional I worked with while planning my wedding. I truly cannot recommend Bethany or her work highly enough.

Working with Andrea and her team at Amative Creative, was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was responsive for the entirety of our planning process and wedding. She was able to use her expertise to perfectly execute the information that I shared with her about my vision, which was probably difficult as I provided her with a broad array of adjectives. Her and her second photographer, Claire, matched the energy of my husband and I which provided comfort and confidence for us on our wedding day. They went above and beyond for us, including, being almost an hour early to capture extra details, transporting my dress, helping bustle/carry the train, wrangling wandering family members, and even offering to take some videos for a family member with their phone so that they could enjoy the moment. We received a preview within days that contained over 150 photos, which was such a pleasant surprise and even more appreciated as we were married on a major holiday weekend. The photos were beautiful, and exactly what we wanted. We felt that Amative Creative's prices are very fair for the luxury quality of photography and warm professionalism they provide to their couples.

The most important decision you will make for your wedding day are the people you surround yourself with. Whether it be your bridal party, family or vendors, the people who are supporting you will impact the energy you feel throughout the day. One of the greatest decisions my husband and I made for our wedding was hiring Kieran as our photographer. She was incredibly professional, flexible, and communicative which made our wedding timeline flow perfectly. She is also SO FUN! We had an absolute blast during our Engagement photoshoot and our wedding day was full of giggles and smiles from beginning to end. The pictures Kieran took perfectly captured every moment of our wedding and we couldn’t love them more. Our family members were blown away by how thorough and artistic our gallery is. Kieran’s second photographer, Erin, was also so wonderful and professional and was a great addition to our wedding day team. Kieran, we are so grateful to have found you and thank you for making our wedding the day of our dreams and for giving us the most beautiful gallery to look back on!

Her attention to detail and creative vision truly made the day unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer who knows how to make the process fun and relaxed!

Wonderful people to work with such great professionalism and work made the experience 100 times better!!

Lizzie and her team are amazing to work with! They had clear communication prior to the day, showed professionalism, talent and kindness during the wedding. They perfectly matched the vibe that I wanted for pictures - chill, candid, with some posed photos. I received my preview sample very quickly and they came out beautifully. The rest of the photos also turned out amazing! I cannot recommend this team enough for your wedding day!! 10/10 rating!
