    Someone you want to spend your special day with

    I reached out to various photographers and Amma was the first photographer I heard back from, which really set the bar high for my other vendor selections (in regards to customer service). Not only is Amma professional, kind, and highly talented, she kept everyone calm on wedding day and made us feel extremely comfortable! Even on wedding day when we were running a bit behind, she was as cool as a cucumber. Her skills were also recognized by our venue, that now wants to add her as a preferred vendor (which she deserves). Amma also shot our engagement photos, and did an amazing job, which helped her really get to know us before the big day. She also used a digital intake form (which helped me shape my ideas) and communicated via email/text throughout the planning process. I could not have asked for a better outcome, or person to spend my wedding day with! Thank you Amma!!

    Best Engagement Session!

    Amma was beyond a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be happier with our photos! She was so flexible when our original plans changed due to COVID, and continued to be through multiple reschedules. Amma made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable while shooting and it really did just feel like 3 friends hanging out for the afternoon. The laughs were endless with her!

    Look no further for your dream photographer

    We hired Amma when we first started wedding planning in June 2019. Since then we postponed our wedding from September 2020 to September 2021, have done TWO engagement shoots (we did one on our original wedding date) and then of course our wedding day. Each time we met up with Amma we had the BEST time. Amma has a way of making you feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which we were super nervous for) and she is also hilarious and so creative. Amma's photo style is simply beautiful and we have received so many compliments on her photo quality from our guests since receiving our full gallery earlier this week. Amma also sent us a bunch of preview photos two days after our wedding and had our full gallery ready for us exactly 4 weeks later! Such a quick turnaround. We truly gained her as a friend over the past 2.5 years of wedding planning and can't wait to have another excuse to have photos taken with her! If you are looking for a sweet, funny, creative, super responsive photographer for your special day then do not hesitate to hire Amma Rhea Photo.

    Exceptional to work with & her work is exceptional!

    Amma was truly a dream to work with, professionally and personally. It was just an added bonus that she is An AMAZING photographer and truly has an incredible vision when it comes to capturing special moments. We could not be happier with all the pictures from our wedding, it was actually hard to decide which ones to post on the review!! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with everything she has done. We only want Amma to photograph us for any life events. Truly amazing work.

    Amma was the best, most joyful, ray of light to have at our engagement!

    I didn't think my dream engagement on the beach could get any better... until Amma did her thing!! It was clear from the moment she approached us (seconds after our engagement) that this was someone I could be comfortable with and share in my sheer joy and surprise. Amma went above and beyond to be in contact with my fiance before the big moment - scoping out the best spot on the beach and sending him updates via text on where to best position himself. More than anything, it's apparent she cares first and foremost about her clients' satisfaction. She smoothly guided us through poses, but also asked what additional shots we may want and perfectly captured both of our families at the surprise dinner that followed the engagement. When we were eagerly awaiting what I thought was just an extended sneak peek, Amma was super accessible, sent text updates on her progress and then delivered our full gallery within a few short DAYS after my surprise engagement dinner... she totally overdelivered! Everyone who sees the photos says the same thing - they captured the emotion above and beyond. I will cherish them forever.

    Professional and Personable

    Amma, makes any setting not only look incredible but is friendly, personable and easy to work with. One of the key aspects of a photogrpaher is not only to take the photo but to direct and place the subjects to their best angles, lighting and settings, Amma did an incredible job, she sets a incredible mood and produces glamours, sophisticated photos. Amma ensured our wedding remains memorable forever and captured the ceremony perfectly! Every photo produced was a piece of art.

    Absolutely Phenomenal - Creative and Talented!

    Amma captured our once in a lifetime moment in a way none of us will ever forget. From the start she took a genuine interest in getting to know each of us, understanding the meanings behind every aspect of our wedding, and our vision. She brought great energy and radiated positivity while also helping us feel a sense of calm and comfortability in front of the camera. She gave direction and guidance throughout and made it a fun experience for all. Every shot was taken with extraordinary attention to detail and authentic creativity to produce glamorous and sophisticated photos. She has a great eye for capturing the perfect image and framing the perfect shot. She also worked beautifully with our dog Bubba and his photos came out impeccable. Amma was so much more than just a photographer that day. Thank you for making this such a special day for us!

    Absolute Best in the Business

    My wife and I had the most incredible experience with Amma from day 1! A year prior to our wedding, we had a phone call with her to see if she would be a perfect match for us. Turns out, it was. She was so energetic and excited from the beginning. My wife and I connected immediately in terms of the ideas they both had and the timeline of the wedding. With Amma, you're practically getting a wedding coordinator as well. She was so fantastic on the timing of all the sessions we had to do the day of the wedding. She brought another photographer (Lior) who was incredible as well. We had such fun with her. She constantly made sure we were laughing and having a good time. Our relationship really turned into a friendship with herat the end of the day.

    We did our engagement photoshoot with her as well. That was just a taste of what we knew we would get for the day of our wedding. The photos all came out brilliant. The editing, angles, lighting, etc. were perfect. We really can't thank her enough. We have already talked about doing our 10 year anniversary pictures with her!

    I can promise that you will not regret choosing Amma and her team for your special day. We love you from the bottom of our hearts, Amma!

    Fantastic Experience

    Amma is a rockstar! She is organized, experienced, responsive, and talented. Amma photographed our wedding in Mystic, CT this past September, and we cannot be happier with our pictures. Her use of natural light made our photos look crisp and luminous without appearing overly filtered, and she had the perfect way of coaxing us into poses that were not stiff or awkward. A quick look at Amma's instagram account makes it clear that she is an amazing wedding photographer. What I cannot stress enough is how great she was in all other respects. Leading up to the wedding, she was prompt in responding to all of our questions and providing input on the venue. On the day of, she was extremely organized and helped us stay on schedule - this was no easy feat considering we had 20 people in our wedding party. She was also extremely familiar with Mystic and our venue, and helped select backdrops that were unique and visually stunning. After the wedding, we received our photos on time and were extremely satisfied. Needless to say, from start to finish, working with Amma was a great experience.

    A truly wonderful photography experience!

    In my opinion, your wedding photographer is one of your most important vendors of the day. So it's crucial you find the best one (that's also not going to drain your budget). We couldn't have wished for a better photographer than Amma! She is so sweet, funny, and great to work with. We had a few phone calls before the big day to get to know each other and to let Amma know our vision for the day. She was so thorough in nailing down the schedule with us and gave us a worksheet so she knew exactly what family photos we needed and backgrounds within our venue we wanted to be in front of. My husband and I can get pretty embarrassed when in front of a camera but Amma (and her second shooter Olivia) put us both at ease and made the whole experience fun and full of love. She even made sure she put in the schedule when sunset was so we could take awesome sunset pictures! She shot amazing detail pictures, candids, portraits and more. Amma was truly a joy to work with and the pictures speak for themselves.

    Book amma!

    In the month since I’ve gotten married, the only thing my family has wanted to talk about is Amma and her incredible photos. Five stars falls far short of capturing her brilliance and talent for what she does. Photography was my absolute priority for my wedding day; it was the first thing I booked after my venue. I did an absurd amount of research to find someone whose photos had the warm, joyful, authentic feel (not cheesy or tacky) that I was looking for - and when I found Amma she was absolutely perfect! From start to finish she made us feel completely at ease, was committed to getting every shot we wanted, and accommodated every request we had and the schedule of our day. All our guests commented on how friendly and dedicated she was, and her photos…are absolutely STUNNING. I was speechless when I first saw them - I’ve never experienced photos of such high quality. All of my family and friends now want to book her for every life event. If you have any doubts at all, let me assuage them: if you can book Amma, you ~need~ to book Amma!!!

    The Absolute Best!

    Amma is the best!!! She is so warm and is the kind of person you instantly feel comfortable with which is amazing with a photographer! She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and we could not have asked for a better experience! She is creative and silly in the best possible ways! She makes you feel like you've known her forever and has a way of capturing beautiful genuine and natural moments. She was so great at coordinating our big family groups during the wedding day including an energetic 8 year old! She was so, so great. I honestly can't enough wonderful things about her and highly, highly recommend her!!

    Look no further- Amma should be your photographer

    If I could give 5+ stars I would!! One of the best parts about hiring Amma is that she makes your day so much fun. Not only does she increase the joy /excitement factor on such a special day, but her personality brings a sense of relief and relaxation to a day that could be unnecessarily stressful. Another great part about hiring Amma is her ability make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I don’t take many photos as a couple, but she made us look and feel like naturals. Hiring Amma is worth every penny :)

    Incredible photos, wonderful personality, and extremely creative

    We loved working with Amma! She answered all of our emails, and made sure everything was perfectly timed and went on schedule. On the day of, she made sure we got every picture we wanted, and allowed us to make changes and comments. Plus the pictures are so much more beautiful than we imagined!

    Amma is the best!

    Amma is an amazing photographer to work with! She has an incredible vision and a fun personality. She beared the cold with us for both our engagement photos and our wedding day, made us feel comfortable, and gave us great direction. Words can't describe how beautiful her photos are. She is so creative in the way she uses the surrounding environment, she is always where the action is, and she is a joy to be around. Amma captured every special moment throughout our wedding day and we can't thank her enough!

    Awesome Photographer!

    Amma is an amazing photographer!! We used her for our engagement and wedding photos and she did not miss a beat! Not only did she keep us organized and put us at ease but she does it all with a smile and sense of humor as well! She captured some breathtaking photos (especially central park on the rock & the lift + kiss outside our venue!) that my husband and I will cherish forever. She was always responsive and took action when needed (ie clearing people out of the way or corralling family members) so that everything during the wedding day was easy and fun for us! Can't wait to use her again! xo sam & grace

    I literally can't express how amazed and extremely happy we were to have had Amma capture our wedding day. From the moment we had our first interaction I knew she was the perfect and I mean PERFECT person for the job. Ben and I haven't even gotten all our photos back yet and we are already BLOWN away at what we have seen, in the blog alone she captured moments that were so near and dear to us on that day that it made both of us not only tear up but speechless and well that is very hard to do! We didn't have the ideal weather, it literally downpoured and thundered as I walked down the aisle but Amma was there the entire time and didn't even mention the idea of moving inside. I could literally go on and on about how much Amma is the absolute best photographer I have come across and I have been in, counting my own, 14 weddings and she has blown every photographer I have been involved with out of the water. Thank you so much Amma for capturing such a wonderful day for us, I couldn't imagine it without you! <3

    One month later, and I still cannot fully put into words how appreciative I am of Amma. From our first meeting through our wedding, Amma was communicative, vibrant, professional, and an overall pleasure to work with. A photographer that captured bright, natural, photos was very important to us and the pictures that we have seen so far have already blown us away! We also wanted to find someone who knew how to take charge without being overbearing. Amma gave wonderful direction and ensured that we got the photos that were on our must have list. I also was very impressed by our second shooter, Oliva Gird, and how well her and Amma meshed.

    I could go on and on about how thankful I am that we came across Amma. She was willing to do whatever it took (including digging a bug out from the layers of my dress - picture included for proof :)) and I can't wait to see our entire album. Thank you so much for making our photography dream come true!

    Amma is amazing. Jeremy and I got married in Mystic and we wanted a photographer from the area. We came across Amma Rhea Photography and after meeting her we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Amma’s personality is fun, warm and makes you feel very comfortable around her! Honestly, I felt like I had known her for years. Although it was her personality that originally intrigued us, it wasn’t until after we had our engagement photos done that we realized how truly talented Amma is. We knew we were in good hands for our wedding!! Our wedding photos are stunning. She has a way with color and sunlight to really bring the pictures alive and she captures all the precious moments of the night. I’m so pleased we found you, Amma. You are a great spirit and wonderful photographer! Thank you!!!

    By far Amma was the best vendor we worked with and we can not recommend her enough! Her experience really shines through and was invaluable when we had issues trying to figure out timing during the day. When you hire Amma you not only get an amazing photographer, but someone to help you look at the logistics of the day and someone you can bounce ideas off of, no matter how crazy! If you're lucky enough to have Amma on your team, I guarantee you will not only have the best wedding photos but the most relaxing day knowing she is there to make your day special.

    Amma is by far the best! I am so thankful my husband picked her as the photographer to shoot our surprise proposal. Ever since that day it has been nothing short of great working with her. Amma is sweet, personable, and extremely talented. As far as our wedding day, she made us both feel so comfortable and everyone fell in love with her! She is professional and has a special way of making everything seem so easy. We can’t stop staring at our photos they are so amazing and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

    Amma was incredible to work with and I am obsessed with how my wedding photos came out! It was pouring rain during the first part of our wedding day and she didn’t miss a beat. I feel a little awkward in front of a camera and she made us feel so relaxed. She was friendly and so easy to work with. Friends and family are still commenting about how well the pictures turned out. I highly recommend choosing Amma as your wedding photographer!!

    Amma was the perfect photographer for us! She captured us beautifully! She did both our engagement shoot and our wedding day photos. She was so easy and fun to work with. She is beyond talented and we couldn't be happier with our photos! I can't believe how amazing they've turned out. We can't wait to work with Amma again!

    When I was initially looking for a wedding photographer I wanted to find someone who was both talented and fun to be around - lucky for us, Amma is both (and more)!

    From our engagement shoot to our actual wedding day, Amma remained in constant contact with us to either iron out wedding day details or just to say hi.

    On the night of my wedding there was a small hiccup in the timeline and Amma did not hesitate to stay late for one second. That really meant a lot to me and my husband and we truly cannot thank her enough for that.

    We received both our engagement and wedding photos so quickly and are in love with them all. Amma and her second photographer, Olivia captured our wedding day perfectly.

    If you are looking for a photographer who is organized, talented, creative, and full of positive energy look no further and BOOK AMMA RHEA PHOTOGRAPHY! <3

    Amma was AMAZING for our wedding. She was great to work with from the first time I emailed her til after the wedding. She photographed our rehearsal dinner as well as our wedding and so far the photos we've seen (from her blog post) we are extremely happy with it. She also did our engagement photos (part of the package) and they came out so great!

    She was so flexible the day of and easy to work with. If you live in the new england area and don't book Amma, you are booking the wrong photographer!!!!
