    Cannot recommend highly enough!

    We cannot speak highly enough of Amber, she will be our photographer for life! We interviewed about a dozen photographers for our wedding and none of them came even close to meeting expectations. Amber was the only one that met all of our criteria and also did a fantastic engagement session so that we'd be confident that our wedding photos would come out beautiful. And they did, we loved every single one. She's creative but extremely flexible and is working for YOU (instead of other photographers who sometimes seem like they are working for their own artistic advancement instead of their clients). We hired her again for headshots and will be hiring her for baby pictures when that time comes as well! She's an amazing photographer and the nicest person!

    Amazing photographer!

    Amber was a dream to work with! She was incredibly professional and quick with communication and planning. Her photographs captured our special day with tenderness - she has an amazing eye and was responsive to our requests while incorporating a creative eye. I can't recommend Amber enough!

    The Calm in the Chaos

    Amber was wonderful. Her calm and positive personality made everything go smoother. She is lovely and her photos are beautiful too. She is very easy to work with and just that calm personality that is needed in the midst of stress. I highly recommend her!

    Natural Photographer

    Through the lens finder Amber Johnston zooms in on the turn essence of an individual. She is a gifted photographer with focus on both the setting and the subject. She creates interesting and thought provocative images using both her artistic resources and intuitive insight. In addition to print portrait photography I have worked with Amber on a video project. We traveled together in California capturing nature scenes from the Pacific Ocean to mountain peaks. With an eye and an ear for detail, live improv music and spoken word were added to the nature images to produce a 20 minute video.Working side by side during the video edit process highlighted Amber’s calm nature and flexibility to shift and see different perspectives. I highly recommend Amber Johnston Photography to help you capture special moments in time, present a stylized image or see the world through an imaginative view finder.

    Amazing photos and no stress

    Amber was so helpful and easy to work with. I didn't have to worry about anything leading up to the wedding day because Amber was so well organized and stayed on top of everything. Not only that, the photos are amazing! It was like she was in five places at once. Highly recommend!!

    I literally cannot put into words how I felt when I got back and looked at our wedding photos. I looked at some and teared up, laughed at others, and thought others were stunningly beautiful. Amber captured it all... You feel emotion when you look at the pictures she takes. She is truly talented. I am just so happy and lucky that my husband and I had her as our photographer. We have such wonderful photos that perfectly capture our wedding day!

    Wonderful experience with Amber!

    Amber was AMAZING to work with! She was so responsive and flexible. We had to change the details of our non-traditional wedding day several times and she was always willing to work with us. She was fun to work with and all of our guests commented on how great she was, she managed to get several shots of everyone! Thanks to Amber our photos turned out wonderfully and now we have our memories easily accessible! I would recommend Amber to anyone looking for a photographer!

    A memorable and fantastic experience!

    Amber was an absolute pro and an amazing photographer! Unbeknownst to all of us, our wedding occurred on the hottest day of the year and Amber handled it like a champ! Never once complaining and always up for our crazy antics. She captured so many amazing moments that we will cherish forever! Her dedication to her craft and her calm and cool demeanor was a godsend during the always hectic wedding day! Cannot recommend her enough!! She's truly the best!!

    We hired Amber for both our engagement photo shoot as well as our wedding. She suggested we go to Longwood Gardens for the engagement shoot – which wasn’t a location that was on our radar. We thought it was a great idea since our wedding was very city focused. The photos from Longwood were incredible! Amber really helped my husband and I relax and get comfortable being “watched” by someone else and to be in front of the camera. After a few minutes with her, we felt totally natural and ourselves – which of course makes for the best pictures.

    We loved our engagement photos so much that we decided to have Amber join us during our rehearsal dinner to shoot additional pictures of our close friends and family. On the banks of the Schuylkill, with a gorgeous sunset, the shots she captured that night were outstanding. When we saw these pictures, our jaws dropped. Needless to say, our wedding photos also exceeded our expectations.

    Amber is an absolute delight. She’s so easy to work with, comfortable to be around, professional and very experienced. Our engagement, rehearsal dinner and wedding photos were fantastic!!

    Beautiful Job!

    My husband and I are so happy that we chose Amber to photograph our wedding day! She completely understood what we wanted and made us feel at ease throughout our time together. Her photos really captured the warmth and joy of the day. Amber is a lovely person to work with, and we are so pleased with all of the beautiful photographs we now have to look back on!

    Amber captured the magic of our wedding! She was so friendly and uninvasive. I had no idea she had taken so many photos during our wedding until she sent us the photos. Her work is beautiful! Also I liked her tips for me while she was doing our first look shots. I was a bit frazzled and exhausted and she helped me reconnect with myself which turned into great photos of me and my husband - and Im pretty hard to photograph, even when Im feeling great. I forgot to mention the photos are gorgeous and very professional. Im so pleased!! Its hard to choose which ones we want to hang up! Thanks Amber!!!

    Amber was the perfect photographer, we absolutely love our pictures and the whole experience of working with her. She was super flexible from the very beginning, driving out of her way to meet us at a random venue for our engagement photos. The day of our wedding she was great, capturing all of our key moments and making everyone feel very comfortable. She even stayed late to accommodate some last minute picture requests. Thanks so much Amber!

    Amber did an amazing job!

    My wife and I met Amber at a wedding expo, she was completely down to earth, very easy to talk to and we felt that she could be someone who would fit in perfect on our special day. It turns out she was amazing! Amber took the time to talk to us before our wedding and get a full understanding of what we wanted on our big day. She made sure she was staffed accordingly, and was so calm and collected during the chaos on our wedding day! We had an amazing time with our wedding photos, Amber was creative and she stepped out of the box a bit to take some great photos. Our wedding was outside. Amber is very responsive, timely, professional, and extremely easy to work with. Jamie and I have recommended Amber to a few people for weddings since we were married. Jamie and I highly recommend Amber for any special occasion that you may be planning, she is definitely worth it!

    With the way online reviews can be, I have to say this: we didn’t just arbitrarily click “5” all the way down, we mean it! Amber was *AMAZING*! She is prompt, talented, and a complete joy to work with. She made our complex wedding planning a little easier and did a fantastic job on the day of. My husband and I literally can’t say enough good things about her. Thank you so much Amber!

    Amber was absolutely perfect for our wedding; she was a pleasure to work with, and we could not be happier that she joined us for the festivities. The photos came out wonderfully, and I can not say enough good things about Amber's contribution to our day. Thank you, Amber, for documenting the madness, hilarity, and joy of our best day.

    Amber was wonderful to work with and very talented! We love our photographs from both our engagement shoot and our wedding. She was extremely flexible during engagement shoot. Our wedding photographs tell a story all day long and there was not a single moment missed in the photographs. She has such a pleasant disposition and allows the couples to be themselves rather than forcing photographs. We felt like she really brought out the best in us and would highly highly recommend her.

    I am so happy with how our pictures turned out, especially our first look pictures! Amber did an incredible job of scouting the perfect location, figuring out what would work best for the locations and had amazing ideas for poses! My only regret is that we didn't book Amber for longer into the evening so that we could have gotten even more amazing pictures! I highly recommend Amber!
