Cathy A. Sent on 02/05/2024Amber is is both a stunning photographer and a wonderful human being!
Bottom life up front: Amber truly captured the magical feel of our special day, and has just been amazing throughout the entire process.
We first met Amber virtually, as she is based out of Las Vegas while we live in the South Bay of Los Angeles. Even through a video screen, we could tell just how genuine she is as a person. We instantly felt connected to her, and saw the craftsmanship and love for her art form in every single shot that she took on previous shoots. My now-wife and I ended the call with her, looked at each other, and knew that we wanted Amber.
We ended up actually utilizing her services prior to the wedding, having Amber come out to take both engagement photos for Cathy and I, as well as a series of graduation photos for my master’s degree. These events were wildly different subjects and feels, yet Amber was able to expertly direct us throughout the day, capturing those tiny little moments as they occurred and aiding us in posing to ensure we looked our best.
When the day finally started to creep up on us, Amber kept open lines of communication with us, ensuring that we had everything we needed for the day with regards to the shots we wanted. Her attention to detail ensured that we were able to get all the photos we wanted, and she truly captured the feeling of the night.
Amber’s talents really stood out in the disparate environments that she captured. With the ceremony being held in a church and the reception being held at a golf course, it was critically important to us that our photographer be able to work with various lighting and colors. Amber and her team’s expertise shone through, masterfully capturing the beauty and solemnity of the wedding in the church.
At the reception venue, however, she outdid even our wildest expectations. She wonderfully shot the traditional family and wedding party photos, ensuring that nobody was away from the party for too long. When it came time for our first photos as a couple, Amber picked out just the perfect angles for shots. Our photos look as though they came straight out of a fairy tail, with the prince and princess in a castle on the clouds.
We absolutely loved working with Amber, and anyone who is lucky enough to be able to have her shoot their special event should consider themselves truly fortunate!
Best,
Cathy and Evan Cooper

5 stars is not enough.. Amber is awesome at what she does, and the work speaks for itself! I would recommend her to anyone interested in some seriously high quality photography. Aside from the photos, she makes you feel welcome, and goes the full 9 yards for her clients!
Thank you, Amber.

Choosing Amber as our photographer was one of the best investments we made for our wedding. She was always responsive, helpful, and a great ally to have along the process. We were lucky enough to use many of the different services she provides.
We worked with one of her associates, Katelyn, for our engagement pictures and were so happy with the results. Amber photographed me for a special gift to my fiancé, and it was quite the experience which resulted in beautiful pictures and an amazing surprise (IYKYK). Day of our wedding, Amber showed up right on time and got to work. She blended in so seamlessly with our guests and helped bring some calmness to the day. She was incredibly professional yet felt like just another friend. Ever talented, she also made our bouquet and boutonniere, which were so lovely and just what I wanted. She even served as a chauffeur as we took pictures on Freemont. This chick does it all!
Amber was able to provide some sneak peaks of our wedding lightning fast, and we shared them with our family back home. We were wowed with all that she was able to capture. There are simply not enough words to express how grateful we are for her services and the high quality of work she produced. -

The best of the best
If we could rate her higher than a 5/5 we would. She is extremely talented, your best hype girl, professional, trustworthy, and I could go on and on. Finding someone you can trust to capture the most important moments of your life can be so scary, but Amber is someone you can trust to not miss a single one of those important moments. On top of all that she is extremely organized- she had an entire list printed out of family shots making it painless and quick for those that are not a fan of photos.
You can also count on her to be so much more than a photographer on your big day. She will help you get ready, do last minute touch ups, help with coordination, and just be there for you.
Lastly, her turn around time is quick and the quality is top notch. Her passion for photography really shows in her work and she will make your day even more magical. We love Amber and I will forever recommend her for all your photography needs!Amber Garrett Photography's reply:
Oh Krystal you absolutely slay me. Thank you so much for trusting me with your big day! Miss you both already! -

The Real Deal Photographer
I cannot even begin to express how genuinely amazing Amber is and how wonderful of a process it has been to work with her. She is professional yet so very easy to befriend, responsive, and remarkably talented. I cannot and will not recommend anyone else for your photography needs; she was there for us for our wedding engagement (quite literally flying cross-country!), our wedding, and beyond. I have comfort in knowing that I now have a go-to photographer who will blow me away with each photo. She is one-of-a-kind and I hope anyone reading this will not hesitate to contact her. Thank you for creating a lifetime of memories for us, Amber! We so appreciate you.Amber Garrett Photography's reply:
Oh Megan you are the sweetest! Thank you SO much for the kind words. You know I'll be there in a heartbeat for any future photo needs! :) Miss you both! -

Whitney G. Sent on 03/11/2021Best Decision Ever
10'S, 10'S ACROSS THE BOARD.
From start to finish, I cannot say enough about how awesome working with Amber was. I will, for the sake of a helpful review, certainly try. Booking a photographer for your wedding is one of the most important decisions- they document the day. Booking the RIGHT one? Solid Gold.
From the initial inquiry, Amber was super responsive. I knew how I wanted my photos to "feel". She showed me some of her recent galleries to see if my wishes met up with her style, and wow- I cried. My friends cried. I knew she was the one.
From the deposit process, to the reminders, to the questionnaire to make sure all the photos we wanted would be captured, I knew I could take "getting the perfect picture to remind me how the day felt" off my list of worries.
On the day? wow. What's bigger than wow? Our group has a lot of inside jokes, and she managed to capture them all. The emotions, the love, the laughter- she caught it all. My day was windy with the chance of a full blown squall happening right before the ceremony. She was incredible weighing pros and cons with me, making sure I would get what I wanted from the day.
When I received the images I cried so many happy tears. Moments I didn't even know I would want were captured beautifully, and told our story perfectly. For someone I had not met in person until the wedding day, she made me feel instantly comfortable, at ease, and like she was a part of our jokes, laughter, and happy happy tears.Amber Garrett Photography's reply:
Whitney, I am not lying when I say I have tears in my eyes after reading your review. I cannot express how meaningful it is that you trusted me with such an important day. Thank YOU. I so, so hope our paths cross in the future. :) -

Kelsey W. Sent on 10/30/2019Amber is amazing!
Amber is not only an excellent photographer, but her easy going and fun personality made it so much easier for me to take a chill pill. I was putting way too much pressure on outfit choice and hair, etc. because photos are forever (and tbh, I've put on weight in grad school, and I'm not always super confident about my body). When I reached out to Amber about this stress, she was super supportive, pointed me to her big day bible for extra tips, and reminded me of the importance of taking phots that really represent us as a couple. And that was all before we even met her and posed for her! Once we did meet her, I was happier than ever with our choice to have her photograph us. I was way less self-conscious than I expected because she really knows how to ease the process (e.g., my fiance and I are super silly people, and she was super down and got silly with us too). It didn't feel like some rando taking our photos, it felt like a friend taking our photos. :D Oh, and our photos are freaking amazing, so there's also that! -

Emily A. Sent on 10/31/2019Literal Definition Of "Best"
I cannot imagine a better photographer. As a journalist, I care more about high-quality candid moments than portraits, but Amber does both FLAWLESSLY. With fewer than 20 ceremony guests, my groom and I were a bit nervous about letting in a "stranger," but Amber was a fast friend. During all stages of the process -- the initial phone call, the face-to-face and the main event -- Amber made us feel comfortable, and she trusted us to curate the day exactly the way we envisioned it. She encouraged all of our wacky ideas, including my plan to have each of our friends involved in our unity ceremony (which Amber handled perfectly, running in a big circle to get every face). She even helped tie my bow and Cody's tie. She works fast, she's fun to spend the day with, and she delivered hundreds of gorgeous photos that I will never stop boasting about. I wouldn't change a single thing about my wedding day, but if I somehow had to do it all again only keeping one aspect, we would definitely keep Amber Garrett Photography. -

Anna A. Sent on 10/27/2019More than an incredible photographer
Amber was easy to communicate with, professional, and incredibly kind! On top of producing incredible photos, she made our day so special by being so excited for us! Given that we decided to elope, my now husband and I knew our choices for photographer and officiant would be important since they would be the only other people present when we said our vows. Amber was the perfect balance of present while I was getting ready, keeping me calm and laughing, and then doing her thing behind the scenes while we were saying our vows. I didn’t realize until afterward how I didn’t even notice her during our little ceremony but she managed to move around and get incredible shots from all angles without being distracting. It truly felt like just my husband and I out there in Red Rock.
She also managed to think quickly on her feet when we got to Red Rock later than planned and the lighting was low. Like a true professional, she pulled her car up (a little off road might I add) and used her headlights as our light source. The pictures came out so unique!
Amber acted as so much more than a photographer for my elopement. My only complaint is that she lives across the country from me! My husband and I have already told her we’re ever on the same coast again, we hope to hire her for more photos. -

Beautiful pictures!
Oh my goodness! Amber is the best photographer I’ve ever met! My husband isn’t the easiest to photograph, because ugh, men! I also wasn’t sure what specific poses to do, or how to stand, but Amber, came in and knew exactly what to do! She made me and my husband feel very comfortable! She even had a couple of jokes for my husband to get him to smile! Amber was able to get amazing photos of us that I’ll cherish forever! Cannot thank her enough! I definitely recommend her to everyone looking for a photographer!❤️ -

I adore amber!
Amber not only felt like family, I feel like she could easily be my best friend as well. She was so incredibly kind and patient for our wedding (and leading up to it!) and the pictures capture every bit of love and emotion that we felt on the day of our wedding. I highly recommend her. -

Kayla Sent on 12/20/2018Beautiful photos
Amber was the most patient and attentive person. For two people who do not spend a lot of time in front of the camera and can be awkward and hard to wrangle, she created the most stunning photos. Plus, she has been with us through every step: engagement day, engagement photos, and wedding day. We will never use anyone else! -
