    Fantastic Photographer!

    Amber is nothing short of an exceptional photographer (and human for that matter)! From our first inquiry until we received our full wedding album Amber was simply a joy to work with. The quality of the photos were stunning and really took our breath away, but equally Amber made us feel so at ease during the entire wedding day, and fit so seamlessly into our day.

    We are so thankful and cannot recommend Amber highly enough!

    Thank you, Amber!

    Amber was a dream to work with. We loved her mix of editorial and candid photography right off the bat, but once we met with her, her passion for capturing love and weddings was apparent, and we knew we had to work with her. As two camera-shy individuals, we weren’t sure what it would be like having engagement photos taken, but Amber instantly put us at ease — carrying on a conversation while directing us and shooting all at the same time. We knew then that we’d chosen the best wedding photographer for us. She’s incredibly kind and easy going, yet at the same time a badass on a mission to get the best shots — she was literally traipsing through a field while quite pregnant on our wedding day! Photography was one of our top priorities for our wedding, as it’s how you’ll relive the day again and again, and we couldn’t be happier with how Amber captured it all. Beyond her talent, Amber was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the whole planning process, including our postponement due to the pandemic.

    Just an absolutely wonderful experience.

    Working with Amber was easily one of the highlights from our wedding planning process. She was easy to get in touch with, answered all of our questions and made us feel like we were her only clients even though I know she is a VERY busy lady. She was able to capture such an important and beautiful day in our lives in a way that felt truly authentic yet magical. We could not have asked for a more comforting presence at our wedding which was so helpful considering my husband and I are both introverted at heart.

    Once again we’re totally over the moon by how they all turned out. She gave us so many photos with friends and family that we’ll cherish forever. If you want absolutely gorgeous photos with an even more beautiful person, look no further.

    I can honestly not recommend Amber enough!

    I am so glad we were able to have her document our wedding day. Looking through her past work, I knew she would be a good fit for our small and intimate celebration, but after seeing the full gallery of our pictures, I was completely blown away! Looking through our pictures, I feel like I am reliving our wedding day. Amber made sure to capture every aspect of the day and there is such a perfect mix of candids and stunning portraits. She is also the absolute sweetest! You can just tell that Amber loves her job and it clearly imparts into her work. We had not met until the day of, but she was so warm and friendly, we instantly felt at ease with her. Amber was also so flexible and accommodating with rescheduling from our initial wedding date due to the pandemic, too. Hiring Amber to document our day was one of the best decisions we made!

    Our guests loved the photos as much as we did

    All the glowing reviews here are true and then some. Amber was professional, attentive, and available throughout the planning process. The day of, her energy and spirit put everyone at ease. She also gave us plenty of direction whenever we felt awkward. And then of course, the photos. As other reviewers have said, her eye and sense of style are impeccable. Warm, chic, candid -- all at once. Photography had been one of our most important investments. But it wasn't until after the wedding we realized how crucial it was. The wedding day flew by so fast. And Amber's pictures not only helped us relive the day, but catch up (and soak up!) the moments we missed. And every picture was gorgeous. We liked the gallery so much that we shared it with our guests. I think there's no greater compliment than your guests downloading YOUR wedding photos for their own enjoyment -- scrappbooking, social media, and yes, even Linkedin and dating app profile pics. And don't get me started on Amber's dance floor pics. Every picture. Vogue.

    Thank you, Amber!

    My fiance and I are so grateful that we were able to have Amber shoot our engagement photos. We were incredibly nervous, as we're not fans of getting our pictures taken or too much attention, but Amber made all of our nerves go away. At the end of the shoot, we realized we had just had SO MUCH FUN! On top of the experience itself the photos we got back made us emotional and so happy. The shots were beautiful and truly showed our great love! We'll cherish these photos forever. Thank you, Amber!

    Nothing short of AMAZING!

    Amber is absolutely amazing! She did our engagement pictures and wedding and both turned out better than we could have ever imagined. She has excellent attention to detail and listened to everything we wanted. I provided her with a list of pictures I wanted for our wedding and she did all of them and more! Anytime we had any questions, she would respond so quickly which was appreciated since we had a destination wedding. I cannot say enough great things about Amber. You can tell she loves what she does and will definitely tell your love story. You will not find anyone better than Amber!

    She's the best! Hire her!!!

    Amber is incredible. We chose to work with her because I loved that her photos felt almost documentary in style, with a balance between film and digital. We wanted someone who could capture the candid moments but also knew how to help us pose (we’re kind of awkward). We did not want a photographer who was in our face but someone who knew how to capture from a distance. It was one of the best decisions we made to work with her.

    One of our favorite photos from our elopement was all Amber's idea. She knew how much our date night tradition of eating at a restaurant bar meant to us. We went into the hotel restaurant for a cocktail and she stood outside, capturing the moment through the windows. I would trust her a million times over to do any event and I hope I can work with her again! On top of that, she is just a genuinely amazing person.

    Exception Talent, Wonderful Person

    Photography was one of the my important things to me when thinking about our wedding budget, and Amber was the first vendor we hired. I was immediately drawn to her documentary style, and the candid moments I could see from her Instagram photos. She is obviously extremely talented and seemed to catch all of the beautiful, quiet moments I was hoping to capture at our wedding -- not the staged, sparkly group shots I see in so many wedding albums. But just as important as her talent, I felt that Amber was 100% the right choice for our wedding upon meeting her in person -- she was so sweet and so normal, softspoken, easy to talk to, and made me feel very at ease. It just felt like the right fit. And she loves dogs! Amber proved to us exactly how wonderful she is when she moved her schedule around to accommodate an emergency engagement photo shoot after we learned that my old hound dog had to be put to sleep. She met us the night before we said goodbye to our dog and was able to capture the most wonderful engagement shots including our dog -- and she even helped us smile and enjoy the evening, under such bittersweet circumstances. I will forever cherish those photos - they are beautiful. As for our wedding photos, we just received the album and I truly could not be happier. A few of my friends have said they are the most beautiful wedding photos they have ever seen, and I couldn't agree more. I can't stop looking at them! I've already recommended Amber to everyone I know who is looking for a wedding photographer, and will continue to do so. She's the best!

    The first vendor you should book for wedding

    Amber was the first vendor I hired for my wedding. I grew up shooting film photography. I wanted to pursue it as a career and I have always looked up to amazingly talented photographers.

    The minute I saw her work I knew she was the only photographer I wanted for this special day. Her eye is impecable. Her style is nothing short of amazing because of the candid approach she invokes into her work. With no effort she captures the feeling of the day. My mother said to me when she saw a snippet of the photos "Omg. What a wonderful depiction of the wedding. Makes me want to cry."

    We were blown away when we saw a preview of the final photos (and I cannot wait to see them all). But I wasn't surprised, because she has some serious talent. The most important investment of your wedding day should be the photographer you choose. And without a doubt, it should be Amber Vickery.

    ps. I had to write this review so soon because we are soo thrilled.

    Live in the moment

    Amber has been amazing from start to finish, she always maintains the best level of professionalism while still being 100% approachable. Her love of candid photos is unmatched. While still knowing and completing all the portrait style photos we needed. We got a slideshow within days of our wedding and I simply ADORED it. I poured over those pictures daily until our full album came through. I just love each and every picture, she captured the fun and celebration of the whole event flawlessly!

    Excellent!

    Amber was by far my favorite vendor to work with. She did an EXCELLENT job. Her work product is extraordinary (check out her portfolio), but what I want to speak to in this review more than anything is her personality and professionalism. That's what's harder to gauge from just perusing her website. She was extremely professional; her responses were timely, on point, and the process smoothless. I am a type A person with little time for unnecessary back and forth and high expectations for service providers, and Amber was consistent, reliable, and very pleasant all the time. At our wedding she kept us on schedule with family portraits and captured great images without feeling obtrusive in the slightest. I went to a wedding shortly after mine and the photographer there just did not compare. I cannot recommend her highly enough; it was 100% worth the investment!

    We first met Amber when my now husband and I took our engagement photos in Austin. We weren’t sure what to expect but Amber made us feel so comfortable. Once the wedding planning kicked into full gear, she checked in periodically to make sure we were doing okay and not getting overwhelmed. She was always willing to help give suggestions or offer insight.
    On the wedding day, she showed up early to spend time with my husband and I separately to give us a run down of how the day would go. We gave Amber a “picture list” and she followed it to a T.
    What we appreciated the most was how she made us laugh capturing our love on camera. I can’t say enough good things about Amber and her team. I can’t wait to use Amber go forward for any family photos as we start our life together. Lindsay and Blake

    Amber was an absolute DREAM to work with. She really took the time to get to know my husband and me and it made it feel so much more personal and lovely to have her with us on our wedding day. She and her team captured everything we wanted and more -- all while seeming to be "invisible." The photos speak for themselves and we are so thrilled with how they came out. Thank you Amber, for everything!

    Amber was one of our favorite parts of our wedding! She is sweet, professional and incredibly reliable. I can't tell you how many people said, "I really love your photographer." She captured the heart of our wedding from an artistic standpoint and is an exceptionally talented photographer. She has made it very difficult to chose our favorites from the wedding for our album. You won't find a better mix of talent and professionalism/kindness. I honestly can't say enough about her and you would be sorely missing out if you chose to go with someone else!

    We worked with Amber for engagement photos & wedding in October 2016. Amber was absolutely wonderful to work with! Before the wedding, she took the time to get to know us and the photography style we desired. She even pulled up some of the images on our wedding day to make sure we caught all of the poses we had envisioned. She was friendly and had a way of making us feel comfortable being photographed. A few weeks before the wedding, we realized we would not have time to travel to the original site for after wedding photos. With this news, Amber took the time to research the perfect location that was close to our venue. This proved how much passion she has for her craft. Our friends constantly comment on how beautiful our photos are and how they truly capture the special moments of our wedding.

    Wow Amber feels more like a good friend than someone we hired.
    As soon as I saw her website I knew her eye and creative touch was what we wanted. Her photos went above and beyond what we want and having her at the wedding was a pleasure . She was great with all of our guests and family. Timely and organized and came in and did everything in a way that I could just relax and enjoy , what more can you ask for.
    Her extra touches of sending a box of keepsake prints and an album made it all the more special and there is not a single person we know that has not complimented us on the beauty of our photos! Look for yourself.
    We would definitely use Amber again for family photo shoots and I recommend her constantly!!

    Amber was the best part of our wedding! My wife and I understand that the wedding lasts a few hours, but the photos last forever. So we spent a lot of time researching photographers and ended up hiring the best.

    The photos were perfect and looked like they were ready to go in the next edition of Brides Magazine! She captured the night perfectly. She has a very timeless style to her photography. Its very natural and not over edited with trendy filters you will hate in a few years.

    She was also a pleasure to work with, and really helped orchestrate the night as we took photos throughout the event. She was very sweet, but took charge in corralling everyone. My friends and family LOVED her and would not stop talking about her after the wedding.

    If you want the best - hire Amber!

    When I was originally searching for Texas photographers, I was originally recommended a few other photographers that seemed fine, but I wasn't in love their work. Because I'm very artistically inclined, I really wanted a photographer that had an artistic eye and would be able to capture more than some portraits with their hyperrealistic lens and attention to detail; it was important to me that the photographer captured the essence of the day, in all its beauty. When I visited Amber's website, I immediately fell in love and knew that THIS was exactly the kind of photographer I wanted: artistic, with an attention to beautiful details, patterns, landscapes, and, most importantly, the candid love that exists between two people getting married as well as between their friends and family. I was not disappointed: the photographs are BEAUTIFUL, more beautiful than I could have imagined. I can confidently say that no other photographer would have delivered with the same impact. In addition to her photography skills, she is just a very warm, kind and lovely person. This matters more than you might expect with your wedding day photographer, especially if you aren't used to being in front of the camera. I know that I am not usually comfortable in front of cameras and it usually shows in the photos, but she made me feel a lot more comfortable. I have also noticed that she has a particularly wonderful skill for composition and for positioning you in portraits so that you don't look awkward and uncomfortable. Not all photographers pay attention to that, and it makes a big difference. Amber is the best wedding photographer I have seen.

    Wow...we are so in love with our wedding photos. Amber did a beautiful job!

    We met Amber at a wedding open house event when we first got engaged. Her work she displayed that day was so good, but we wanted to do some more looking around before we booked a photographer. We did our research and talked to some other photographers, but Amber's work still stood out as a favorite. We knew we had to set up a meeting with her, and I'm so glad we did!

    Amber was super professional the entire day. She came prepared with her assistant and all of their equipment. Their confidence made us feel at ease and their positive attitudes even when some guest were getting in the way made us feel that much better.

    It ended up being a rainy day on our wedding day, so the planned outdoor ceremony was moved indoors at the last minute. Fortunately, Amber was able to get some gorgeous shots even though we were mostly stuck indoors. The dancing was a huge part of our reception and Amber was able to capture some really great candid moments too.

    Overall, we can't thank her enough. I would highly recommend Amber! : )

    After starting wedding planning a little late, one of my good friends who is a wedding designer in Austin recommended Amber to us. I feel so lucky that she still had our date available and cannot imagine anyone else capturing our day. Amber is an absolute professional in every way and this is extremely important on wedding day. She has such a calming and positive attitude which helped tremendously on our day as it was unusually hot for October. We had our wedding in a church and then reception at an indoor/outdoor venue but that day she actually took pictures at five different locations. There must have been a million different lighting variations, even awful flood lights at the venue, and every picture looks absolutely amazing. She captured every moment I had mentioned to her from pictures of my grandparents, guest dancing, to my families antique bowls and cake plates. I have always dreamed of having fireworks at my wedding and I cannot thank Amber enough for capturing that moment so perfectly! Also I had heard horror stories from my friends about it taking over 6 months to get their wedding photos and then waiting a year to get copies on a USB. Amber had our pictures done within a month and we received our USB shortly after in the sweetest box with extra pictures she had printed for us. It was so nice to be able to send my friends and family pictures from the wedding in thank you cards and frames. Honestly I could go on and on about how amazing and fabulous it was to have Amber be a part of our wedding. All of my friends and family raved about our pictures and had the absolute nicest things to say about Amber. Every single interaction with her whether it was on email, text or in person was delightful. She even helped me find the best floral designer, Sprout Flowers, when my original vendor dropped out! What more can you ask for!

    Amber, captured our special day so perfectly! She captured moments as we remember them and captured ones we didn't get to experience... and it feels like we were in those moments too! She is incredibly talented, and we feel so grateful to have met and worked with her...such a beautiful person inside and out and a lovely artist! Endless thanks to Amber for capturing our day, so we can treasure and reexperience it forever!! She captures the emotion of each moment and beauty of the surroundings. The colors in her photos are so rich and deep... simply amazing. I am so thankful I chose her to capture our most special day! If you choose Amber as your wedding photographer, there is no doubt that you will be beyond satisfied!!!
