    You couldn't ask for a better photographer :)

    We would give Amy 1,000 stars if we could!! Amy is the absolute best! We were so fortunate to have her take both our engagement and wedding photos and couldn't be happier. She has such a wonderful, calming presence and made us feel so at ease, helped us bring out our silly sides, and made us look amazing! Her photos are so so beautiful and capture our story and the happiness of our special day. She is so kind, thoughtful, and talented. We cannot recommend her enough!!

    Amy is Amazing!

    Amy was so wonderful - she is amazingly organized, thoughtful, has an awesome attention to detail. She was there with us throughout the entire process - from the very beginning checking in all the way through. Day of she was both organized and laid back. She was always there, never in the way, and always supportive of us. There were a few curveballs day of and she rolled with them easily. I cannot recommend Amy enough - she is completely worth it! You will not regret hiring Amy for your event!

    Amazing experience with Amy!

    Working with Amy was the best decision we made for our wedding. We are two people who don't know how take good photos together, but Amy somehow made us look great. She was extremely communicative and thoughtful throughout the whole planning process. She was very open to our wishes for our pictures, but we felt very confident letting her guide us to the best options. 10/10, would recommend.

    Amy is the best!

    Amy photographed a couples session for us, and she absolutely blew us away with how kind, sweet, and funny she is. Both of us usually feel very awkward when being photographed, but our whole session felt so natural and our photos we got back reflect that. We left our session feeling like friends. I absolutely recommend bringing your fur baby for your session because Amy will fuss over them just like they are her own. Our dog, Max, was as smitten with her as we were. The turn around time was super quick compared to other photographers we have used, and we had so many favorites to choose from. We love how authentic all the images feel. Everything looks so natural as opposed to forced smiles and poses. The colors are vibrant with true to life skin tones. We 10 of 10 recommend hiring Amy for your photo needs. She deserves all the stars!

    You want Amy to be your wedding photographer!!

    I was referred to Amy by a friend and I could not be happier with the experience she provided and the photos! She is especially great at being discrete and getting great candid shots. She is incredibly responsive and communicative. Amy is also just a joy to be around. Our photos came out stunning. You will not be disappointed!!

    Incredible, authentic photos from a genuine and amazing photographer

    It was an absolute pleasure to work with Amy from consult to finished product delivery. Amy is genuinely invested in capturing the most beautiful and authentic images that truly reflect the nature of any occasion, and it shows in the quality of her work. From my bridal portraits to the wedding and reception, to a family photo session years later, the work Amy did for us is some I will cherish forEVER. I look forward to continuing to hire her to document our family for years to come and cannot imagine going to anyone else. As someone who feels so awkward in front of the camera, she has made all experiences fun and relaxed, resulting in my absolute favorite photos ever captured of me, my husband, and our family.

    Phenomenal Photographer

    Amy did such an amazing job with both our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I are not good at posing & rarely take photos. Amy did a wonderful job making us feel comfortable in front of the camera and giving us prompts to capture real moments. The wedding photos were incredible. She not only captured so many wonderful moments but did an amazing job editing to bring the photos even more life. 10/10 would recommend.

    Loved working with Amy!

    As a bride who planned to get married in 2020, I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Amy was flexible and accommodating when we rescheduled our wedding and even had a backup plan for the backup plan.

    Amy was excellent at creating an open line of communication, offering suggestions, and incorporating your ideas. She got every shot! We love the memories of our day.

    Best Decision Ever

    One of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning process was to hire Amy as our photographer. I had been a fan of Amy's for years before I even got engaged because I loved her style of photography and the way she captured people. Amy took the time to get to know me and my fiancé, which I really appreciated and we both loved her genuine and friendly personality. Amy is also incredibly funny and witty and made both of us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Amy was so supportive throughout our wedding planning process and captured our wedding day so perfectly. Amy is a gem of a person and a talented photographer. I highly recommend her!

    Best. Photographer (and human). Ever.

    First off, Amy is an amazing human AND an incredible photographer. Posing for photos can often feel so strange and unnatural, but Amy made us feel so comfortable throughout our engagement photoshoot. Amy is so thoughtful with her photography and enjoys catching the moments as opposed to forcing perfectly posed photos. It really felt special and intimate and we ended up having so many laughs throughout it, too! It was a really fun time and made for a great memory for when we look back at the beautifully natural photos that Amy captured. On our actual wedding day, we felt like we could just sit back, relax, and enjoy with Amy as our photographer. We knew she was there, but yet she blended into the moment instead of pausing the moment to catch a photo. She was also great at organizing when needed, especially with larger groups of people! And she was really great and patient with the kiddos! Amy sent us several previews within 24 hours of our wedding day and WOW, they were unbelievable. It was so lovely to get these back so close to the event when emotions were still running so high. All of our friends and family were overjoyed with her work.

    Amy, thank you for capturing our day in a way that fully represents our personality and the community around us. You are so talented and it was so lovely to work with you. We love you!

    Completely blown away

    It's really hard for us to sit down and write this review because we honestly don't know where to begin. Amy is just the kindest, most thoughtful, extraordinarily talented and beautiful human. As a wedding photographer myself, it was really paramount that my husband and I have a photographer that we knew we could trust with all our hearts for our wedding, and Amy was undoubtedly that person. I know that our wedding photos are timelessly beautiful, extraordinarily true to us, and just so, so beautiful. I'm eternally amazed at how Amy managed to capture it all, no matter what it was. I heard that she had been described as a ninja, and I sort of chuckled at that until I experienced the way that she works. She. Is. A. Ninja. She captures all of the little quiet moments alongside the loud ones, and it's all crafted absolutely brilliantly. We are forever grateful for Amy. We hold our wedding images and the memories she was with us to create so near and dear to our hearts.

    perfect photographer for us!

    What a treat to work with Amy Ellis! Our first introduction was on Skype and we instantly loved her fun, relaxed personality and her enthusiasm for capturing images from such an important day! Her catalog of work was beautiful but we were even more thrilled when we worked with her for our own engagement photo shoot. Amy listened to ideas we had and offered suggestions for shots and spots about the city, too. These photos were STUNNING and confirmed we made the right choice.

    Amy was always available for questions and checked in several times during the planning process. I really appreciated the thorough survey she sent out and reviewed before the wedding to make sure she shot people and events most important to us. She also wanted to be sensitive to any unique/contentious family situations, which was so thoughtful and considerate. Spending hours with Amy during the wedding day was such a treat! Along with being so kind and easy to be around, she was such a professional and kept us on track all day too. I felt like she was my advocate too - especially when a family member basically demanded a photo not on our discussed list, making sure I was okay with any changes. We received amazing preview photos just a few short days after the wedding and are SO excited to see the rest! Amy thoughtfully and beautifully captured such a special day to us and we’re so thankful to have had the chance to work with her.

    Amy was wonderful to work with! She was able to use my engagement photo time and add to our reception! She was super responsive and made my dream (pinterest boards!!) come true! I haven't even received all my photos yet and I just can't stop looking at the previews I received because they are so perfect! I will highly recommend Amy Ellis and if I ever need a photographer again, she will be top on my list!

    Where should I begin, Amy Ellis is amazing. If you want someone who is fun, easy to work with, organized, and will deliver amazing photos Amy Ellis Photography is for you. I had a nightmare of a wedding planner, but with Amy checking in, reviewing my day of timeline, and making suggestions, I felt very confident things would run smoothly and we would have great photos to remember our day for years to come. (Everything did go perfectly, fortunately I had great vendors that I trusted completely). My husband is that person ducking from the camera, putting his hand in front of his face, or just missing from every picture, but Amy made him feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. First time he’s never put up a fight about being in a picture! The aspect I love most about working with Amy is that the photos are not stagnant and posed. She captures the life and the real moments. I can’t recommend Amy Ellis Photography enough! You won’t be disappointed.

    Hiring Amy Ellis as our photographer was one of the first and surest wedding decisions we made. We knew this lover of light would capture the tone and intent of our day and, sure enough, she did all that and more. We found her to be an undeniable list of the following: warm, unassuming, informed, thorough, guiding, calming, clear, professional, invested, open, and patient. She remembered our family members' names and relationships without error and seamlessly joined festivities while navigating our important moments. My wife and I were grateful for her (as expected!) enthusiasm for the nontraditional; the resulting photographs under her direction made even the most ordinary moments look extraordinary. Being a queer couple, it was important to us to surround ourselves and nonconforming friends with folks that would be respectful and mindful and Amy was just that. From a business perspective, Amy Ellis conducted all communication with heart and meticulous absorption. (In fact, we welcomed joyous Skype conversations, gifts, pertinent questionnaires, and follow-up's in our Seattle home consistently over the course of two years!) Preview photographs were delectable; turnaround time on final photographs was swift. Her website is easily navigable and all her business styling is done with thoughtful design. What a treasure and what an eye!

    Amy Ellis Photography was one of the easiest decisions my husband and I made for our wedding. Ryan hates having his photo taken, but after our initial meeting with Amy, he agreed that her fun, quirky personality would mesh with ours and it would feel most natural to work with her. He couldn't have been more right! We had the pleasure of road tripping to Asheville and Craggy Pinnacle with Amy for our engagement shoot in September and had the best time! She made us laugh and captured moments we didn't even know happened...so many of the little things it's easy to miss in busy life were captured so beautifully. She truly encompassed the things we hold dear to our relationship in her photos. Fast forward to our wedding in April and our experience was even better. Amy was flexible (she trekked with us from our garden wedding to coffee to a great spot for skyscraper photos to our Uptown reception without even blinking), she was professional (Ryan and I have never seen our families move so quickly than when she was organizing photos), and she was most of all fun (I don't know many photographers who will break it down with you and grandpa on the dance floor). I received preview photos to share with family and friends shortly after the wedding and the rest in no time. I would give Amy Ellis Photography a 12/10 and recommend Amy to any bride who wants natural, beautiful photos of their wedding day! She we met above and beyond to make everything easy, and we love our photos!
