    Outstanding Engagement and Wedding Photographer

    Amber is phenomenal! We hired Amber for both our engagements and our wedding. During our engagements we loved her ability to make us feel comfortable and capture the unique elements of our relationship. At our wedding she did an amazing job capturing all of the important moments, silly moments and everything in between. Our photos are timeless, natural and the perfect embodiment of my loving marriage.

    Simply Amazing

    Amber did such an amazing job throughout the whole process.
    We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and she made sure rescheduling our date was a priority. Amber is very responsive and easy to communicate. For any questions we had she always had an answer.

    Amber’s positive vibes also made us feel comfortable whilst we got our photos taken. As we aren’t models, we were nervous, but Amber made sure we were relaxed and all went smoothly.

    All of our photos came out beautifully and we honestly go back and look at them every day to remember our big day!

    We cannot thank Amber enough and would recommend her to any couples looking for a photographer for their big day!

    Wedding photographer

    Amber was absolutely incredible to work with and I am so glad that I chose her as our photographer! From the first interactions via email about pricing/packages to the efficiency and stunning quality of her work.... I could go on and on about how grateful I am! She was excellent with communication leading up to our wedding day, planning out locations and timeline and even after the event she followed through with regular communication about release of photos, creation of our album, downloads and ordering prints, etc. The day of our shoots, she was so awesome with guidance, encouragement, lighting choices, and backgrounds. Her use of color and composition are phenomenal and more important than anything, she really captured the joy of our day!

    Amber shaw photography - strongly recommended!

    My wife and I could not have been more fortunate and grateful to have Amber Shaw as our photographer during our wedding this year...amid a global pandemic. Where do I begin with how much we appreciated Amber's professionalism, support, commitment, responsiveness, kindness, flexibility, and high-quality, photography service?

    As all of our initial wedding plans crumbled due to COVID-19, Amber was a god-send. During times of stress and uncertainty, you truly appreciate someone like Amber, who is patient, supportive, and understanding.

    Amber went above and beyond to ensure that our small-wedding and engagement photos were premiere quality. My wife and I were ecstatic over the results and we couldn't be happier to have the opportunity to work with Amber.

    I wish there was an option to select 6 stars...Thank you Amber for making our day so special! We STRONGLY RECOMMEND choosing Amber as your photographer. We hope this review makes it a little easier for upcoming newlyweds to choose a high-quality photographer like Amber Shaw.

    So talented, so friendly, absolutely perfect!

    Amber was the first vendor I hired- even before I found a venue. I went to several bridal expos with a friend for her wedding the year before mine, and Amber was the one photographer that always stood out to me. I knew that when I got married, SHE was who I wanted. I love her style of photography, and when I first spoke with her, I knew I liked her immediately. I think it's important to find a photographer you click with, and I can't imagine that anyone WOULDN'T click with her. She was so accommodating through this crazy time, and she was so flexible with our changing schedule due to the pandemic. I can't recommend her enough, she is simply the best!

    Best photographer!

    Amber was literally everything we dreamed of and more when we hired a photographer for our wedding. Not only a great photographer but a great person. She was quick to respond, flexible with our schedules and wanted our photos to turn out just how we had pictured them. I can’t imagine not having the photos that she captured for us. She is so easy to work with and we absolutely loved her and our photos. I am always thankful we chose her to shoot our perfect day.

    Engagement Session

    So far, so good! Loved how my engagements turned out and I can't wait to work with Amber on my wedding day! I'm the one who hates getting my picture taken but she definitely made that easy and helped me be more comfortable.

    Best Decision We Made!

    Choosing Amber to be our photographer was truly the best decision we made! She took our engagement, bridals, and wedding photos. We have been so blown away at her work! She makes you feel so comfortable and you honestly forget you’re getting your pictures taken so she is able to capture the most amazing little moments. We did our bridals and first look on the same day to save us time on the wedding day and the weather was not cooperating but she came up with the best plan for us to still make it happen and work in between the little rain storms. She truly was so positive and made me feel so comfortable and confident so we were able to continue with pictures at various places up at Snowbird and the pictures turned out amazing! I’m talking my absolute dream pictures... like something out of the wedding magazines! On our wedding day Amber was so cute, she was so excited to be there and see us all and got such great pictures of us getting ready. One of the most admirable things about Amber is her time management. When it came time for bridal party and family pictures she knew what our schedule looked like and she was able to take SO many pictures without making us feel rushed at all! AND these pictures are some of our favorites.

    You will get your pictures back so fast and Amber is great about communicating through the whole process, from first signing the contract to after the wedding you will get emails and texts with updates.

    Amber not only made all of our picture dreams come true but she truly became a friend and we are so blessed to have an amazing person in our lives!

    You'll Love Working With Her!

    My husband and I were SO nervous about getting our photos taken. As soon as we got started Amber made everything so much fun and so comfortable. She gives enough direction that you don't feel like you don't know what to do, but still lets you do your thing and really show your personalities. I was really happy with what was included in the package and the quality of her prints and photo books are outstanding. She is so sweet, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Book with her! You will not regret it!

    Engagement Photos with Amber

    I adore Amber! Amber was such a joy to work with, and I could not have asked for a better experience. She was so accommodating, especially because we got rained out of our original venue. She came up with another place the same day to make sure our engagement photos were still magical. I will work with her again in the future.

    Best photographer ever!

    I can't say enough good things about Amber! Years ago, I started following her on Instagram after I saw some pictures she had done and I knew I wanted her to do my wedding pictures. My husband and I don't like getting our pictures taken but she made the whole process fun and made us feel at ease. The pictures turned out so good! Not only that but she's super sweet, great to talk to, good to work with, and efficient! We got our pictures back super quick. After our wedding reception, we had lots of compliments on how great Amber is and how great the pictures turned out. Now we'll have photographs that we'll keep forever.

    Absolutely perfect!!!!

    Amber is one of the nicest, most professional and talented photographers that I have ever met. She has a natural and effortless way of making someone that is incredibly camera shy (and awkward in general lol) person feel completely at ease. Taking photos with her felt more like a relaxed hang out session, while at the same time feeling like we were constantly getting things done in a timely manner. I met her at a bridal show, and she stood out to me for multiple reasons. First of all, right off the bat, she was incredibly nice and smiley. Having met a handful of photographers at that point, everyone else felt really stuffy and borderline rude. Her work also speaks for itself. It is timeless, beautiful and I feel shows exactly how my husband and I are together. It isn't forced or fake looking, and isn't over-filtered like a lot of Utah photographers can tend to be.

    We had ZERO snags throughout the entire process with her. She was a huge reason that our big day went off without a hitch.

    If you are hesitant about booking with Amber for ANY reason,
    I can assure you that booking with her is the right choice. :)

    Also, follow her on Insta because she posts the cutest photos from volunteering at the animal sanctuary. It gives me LIFE

    Amazing experience

    Amber was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding and our engagement photos. My friend and I had both recently gotten engaged and I went with her to a bridal show where I met Amber. I was planning to get married out of state so I was not personally planning to work with any vendors from UT. But when I saw the sample photos that she had there I was absolutely blown away. After a few weeks of looking into photographers closer to my venue I kept thinking about Amber, her photos, and how nice she was when I spoke with her at the bridal show. I reached out and asked her if she ever traveled for weddings and she was totally on board! My wedding was in Massachusetts and the day was captured so beautifully. The photos she took were outstanding and the entire time she was such a pleasure to work with. I reached out to her several times before the wedding and she was always so responsive and helpful. Planning a wedding remotely has it's challenges but one thing I never worried about was the photography piece. The event coordinator at my venue even told me after the even that she wished Amber was local because she would absolutely be a preferred vendor for them. Anyways, long story short, I would 100% recommend Amber for your wedding. She gives you such a piece of mind in the planning stages and you literally couldn't be happier with the photos you receive at the end!

    Stunning photos and the nicest person to work with

    Amber is just wonderful to work with! I used her for my bridal portrait and wedding day photos. She is so nice, and her work is beautiful. I don’t know how she does it, but she made my husband feel so comfortable and relaxed, even though he hates having his picture taken. The final product was to die for. All the photos were absolutely stunning. I really cannot say enough about Amber! I seriously recommend/will recommend her to everyone!

    Have no regrets because of her!

    Oh where to start... first she made us feel soooo comfortable with her!! She gets the candid moments and that is what was sooo amazing for me!! You can really tell our photos aren’t fake and that the love is there which was hard because the husband is a little stubborn for pictures! But she got him to be comfortable and they are AMAZING!! she did our engagements, bridals, and wedding!! Even at the wedding with the guests, she got the most amazing pictures that captured the best memories!! I do not know how she does it, but she is literally the best photographer. She even had the Best recommendations for florists, bakers, and more. My wedding would have sucked without her honestly. If you don’t book with her, you’re wrong!!

    Choosing a photographer for our wedding was something I was very particular about, I mean the photos are what you have to remember after it's all said and done.... with that said, I am so incredibly lucky to have met Amber. She is a sweetheart and her work is amazing and completely surpassed my expectations. She made everything super easy from the beginning, including my engagements to the wedding day. Her pricing is on her website, which is super nice and transparent, and honestly for what you get; its a great deal.... And, I will never forget the small details she did for me on my wedding day; I truly felt lucky to have her by my side. I would 100% recommend Amber!

    Absolutely perfect!!!

    Amber Shaw was an absolutely amazing photographer and was the perfect person to photograph our wedding. We had our wedding about 1 hr north of SLC and she drove all the way up and arrived about an hour early to get set up. It was so nice to not have to worry about her making it there on time and by the time we were ready to start taking photos she had already been set up for awhile.
    She did an amazing job at the ceremony - no one even noticed she was there and somehow she was getting all these up close and cute pictures of us. She also stayed late for our reception when we realized we were going to go over time, even though we literally gave her 5 minutes heads up.
    She was super fast at getting us our pictures back and even gave us the unedited photos for our personal use. I felt like she was well worth what we paid and was extremely reasonably priced, especially with the extras like the photo book and a personalized box for the Zip drive with the photos. My family still talks about how great she was at our wedding! Thank you Amber!

    Amber is seriously the best photographer out there! My groom and I were a little camera shy to begin with, but she made us feel so comfortable. She's also very accommodating and let us design our package the way to fit our needs. She's very professional and works fast to get your pictures back to you in a timely manner. We LOVED all of our pictures!!! They don't look over edited or overexposed. She really does use the natural light to make the pictures look so beautiful and timeless. You will want to share your pictures with everyone! Not to mention she's literally the sweetest person ever!

    Amber is so incredible!! First off, she got back to me right away...not two days later, I mean right away. This was huge for me, and is most definitely important when planning a wedding and you're looking for responses. She was willing to come to Kansas from Salt Lake City to photograph our wedding. And even though she was in a new place, the pictures she captured were amazing. She was flexible and willing to work with us, splitting her time into segments the day of my wedding (it was a Catholic wedding that lasted more than 12 hours) while still able to capture all the very important moments for us. I couldn't be happier with the pictures she edited for us. They were so colorful and the black and whites captured so much emotion. We continue to get compliments on them. She's also great to work with! She's friendly but still professional. I highly recommend Amber!

    I could not recommend Amber highly enough! We found her at a bridal expo and she did our engagements, bridal/pre-wedding, and wedding photos. She was very professional but also so much fun to work with and super down to earth. Our pictures turned out AMAZING! I swear I’m not joking when I say that I look at them ten times a day. She sent us a USB with our digital negatives and it was personalized with our names on it and put in a magnetized case with pictures on the front and back. I really appreciate the special touches she adds and the attention to detail. If you want a guaranteed amazing experience and top notch photos, you have to go with Amber Shaw!

    Besides the actual act of getting married, Amber was the best decision of our wedding! She did engagements, bridals, and our wedding day. I was continually impressed with Amber's professionalism and how she was on top of everything. Before I could even come up with a question to ask her she had already sent us all of the information we needed. We had a blast taking photos with her too, she made us feel so comfortable and it was actually fun! And I haven't even mentioned how AMAZING all of our photos turned out! I am beyond satisfied with every aspect of hiring Amber.
