This is an embarrassingly long overdue review from our October 2021 wedding at the Berkeley City Club. Where to even begin with how amazing Amy was and how much we loved working with her and our final photos….
A bit of backstory… like so many, we were supposed to get married on 10/10/2020, but Covid forced us to postpone an entire year, which made things a bit complicated for our vendors and us. Our original photographer ended up pregnant shortly after we postponed with a due date roughly a month before the new wedding date, so we were in a bit of a scramble to find someone to take her place. Miraculously, the stars aligned, and Amy was actually free on our date! She immediately got to work getting to know us and familiarizing herself with our vibe and our vision. To be frank, I was dealing with some mental health issues (who wasn’t at that time!), and she very gently and kindly dealt with my decision fatigue and untimely emails. Leading up to the event, she was professional, on top of everything, and answered my rambling frazzled emails with no snark and all kindness.
On the big day, she was on time, brought an excellent second shooter, and captured every single thing I had wanted (and honestly, it’s more impressive when you realize that she basically read my mind because I was not a good communicator.) She dealt with my bonkers family and friends and showed no signs of annoyance when she was trying to herd my family for portraits. I do not fancy myself as very photogenic, but I was beyond happy with all of my bridal pics, and our bride and groom photos looked totally natural and not forced or staged (and we are not folks that take fall photos yearly in almond blossoms, so we had no idea what we were doing!) The candids were fantastic, fun, and captured the mood of the whole event, and we love them.
We had been really clear with her that since we had eloped and because we had waited so long for the event, we really did not want to have to “disappear” from cocktail hour for photos and wanted to spend as much time with our guests as possible. She made it happen! All portraits were done before the ceremony (our request) and we only had a couple quick snaps in between the ceremony and cocktail hour but spent almost the entire time with our party.
The bottom line is that we found Amy to be worth every penny. I’d be surprised to hear that there was someone in the bay area to be as “totally worth it” as she was in terms of wedding vendors. I would highly recommend her and we are so happy that we went with Amy because we will treasure these photos forever.

Amy captured the beauty of our special day and exactly how it felt to be there. We are still in awe of how beautiful our photos are! Not only are the pictures absolutely gorgeous, but Amy has the warmest, kindest, personality. We had an intimate elopement with some family members in our presence, and for a bunch of people not used to taking pictures, Amy made us feel super comfortable... like she was an old family friend. She took time to truly get to know my (now) husband and I before the event, which meant the world to us. The whole process with Amy has been an absolute pleasure. -

Amy exceeded all our expectations. She captured the personality of our families within creative playful emotive images. We will always treasure the photographs Amy took as family heirlooms hopefully to last for generations. One top of all the great photographs, Amy added to the good vibes and fun with her humor grace and awesome presence. The woman got down on her belly on a ranch to get the shots for heaven sake. Highly recommended and adored. -

We first met Amy when she photographed my sister's wedding in April 2018. She is a blast to be around and helps make the entire wedding day more enjoyable. Not only is she a pleasure to hang out with, her photos are amazing! I could not have asked for a better photographer. Amy's photos are the perfect blend of perfectly staged moments and hilarious "bloopers". My entire family is trying to think of another event we can have just to invite Amy back! Hire Amy. You will not be sorry! -

Amy is an absolutely incredible photographer and person. I cannot begin to express how grateful we are that we chose her for our wedding. Amy is funny, caring, detail oriented and extremely talented. She was able to capture every beautiful moment of our two day wedding (three days if you include the rehearsal dinner!) and at the same time, she got to know our families and made them feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I really cannot recommend Amy enough. If you want your wedding to be photographed impeccably, with love and thought, hire Amy. Seriously, look no further, you have found your photographer. -

Greg Sent on 07/28/2019Perfectly captured the energy of our wedding
We chose Amy because we absolutely loved her photos. She is able to capture the energy of a moment in photos that are natural, authentic, and tell a story. She told us that one of her goals is to make the person looking at the photo feel like another guest at the wedding, and that's a perfect description of her style.
Amy achieves this in part by being a genuine, outgoing, and hilarious person to be around, whether she's taking photos or not. Leading up to the wedding, she took the time to meet with us to really get to know us as people. By the time the wedding arrived, we weren't posing for a stranger - we were spending time with a friend.
She beautifully captured the elegance of our outdoor ceremony, navigating the difficulties of very strong sun, wind, and an especially tricky shot involving temperamental smoke bombs.
We especially love the photos Amy took of the dancing during the reception. Despite the dark lighting and chaos of the dancefloor, she and her assistant captured unforgettable shots of our guests in action. Many of her shots capture our friends and family at just the right moment of joy, emotion, or attitude while dancing.
Amy's photos are precious keepsakes to us now - she comes highly recommended. -

Megan Sent on 03/29/2019Truly the most talented photographer and the most amazing experience!
Amy Little is quite possibly the most wonderful, personable, professional, and engaging photographer that has ever walked this earth! Not to mention a seriously cool person as well. I can't begin to express how thankful my husband and I are for her. We first met her down in Florida for engagement pictures. We had so much fun talking and laughing with Amy that I hardly noticed that she was taking pictures. We received the photos exactly when she said we would and they were AMAZING. She kept contact with us throughout our engagement, face-timed with my husband and me multiple times to get a feel of our style and interests and asked us to fill out a survey (separately from each other) that focused on helping Amy get to know and understand our relationship, particular photos we want at the wedding, and any surprises/gifts that she should know about ahead of time to photograph. Amy met us up in North Carolina for the wedding. She arrived early, captured guests, details, special moments, and even came to the "after party" at a bar well past midnight to take more pictures. She is THAT dedicated. Every single picture she took captured our special day perfectly. If that wasn't enough, Amy sent us "sneak peek" photos quickly after our wedding and even face-timed us before sending over all of the pictures to make sure my husband and I had a night off to dedicate to sitting on the couch, drinking a glass of wine, and enjoying the photos together. She truly understands what it's all about. I highly recommend Amy Little to do your wedding photography. She exceeded our expectations in every possible way. -

Amy is the best! Not only were our photos amazing, she was a blast to be around. My mom actually found her on a whim looking for someone to photograph our engagement in Sonoma & I’m so glad she did!! -

Jenny Sent on 12/10/2016In regards to our wedding, besides marrying each other, Amy Little was the best decision we made.
I'm overwhelmed with how incredibly awesome Amy is, that I don't know where to begin..
Let's start with her work, as I know when I was looking for the perfect photographer that's what I was consumed with "who will take PERFECT photos of my wedding?" Amy will. I spent endless hours researching wedding photographers near and far. For my husband and I, the photography was one of the most important aspects of our wedding and was treated as such. A few things that stood out about Amy from before we hired her
- she is incredibly easy talk to. Not only does she return emails and phone calls very quickly (and continues to even AFTER the wedding is over). She is also, literally, easy to talk to and be around. I'm convinced there isn't a soul in this earth who she doesn't get along with.
- Amy was the only photographer we interviewed who allowed us to see entire collections/albums of her engagement and wedding work.
Amy as a human - She is just, badass. And cool. And funny. And everyone loves her. After spending time with her for engagement photos, wedding photos and various Skype dates, I feel lucky enough to call Amy Little a treasured friend.
Amy also knows how to command a group of people and take charge while still allowing everything going on around you to be natural. There were many times throughout our wedding where she acted as a wedding planner helping to keep us on schedule and wrangling in wiley groomsmen.
Obviously, I can't say enough great things about her. Our pictures are Pinterest-worthy (yes, she is that good). After our wedding our pictures were even picked and showcased in a local magazine. I am eternally grateful I have such wonderful photos my husband and I can look at to remember our best day ever.

Rachel Sent on 07/27/2014Amy is the ultimate dream-creator! We were very picky when it came to our photos. Our area has many amateur photographers who try to pass off as professionals with their expensive cameras... Amy was not one of them. She is everything and more when it comes to your special experience! We couldn't have imagined anything more for our pictures. She created memories for us that we are ecstatic to have for the rest of our lives! LOOK NO FURTHER THAN AMY LITTLE PHOTOGRAPHY! -

Terrie Sent on 07/01/2014I have waited and waited to write this because I could never come up with the best words for how much this woman means to me! I finally realized there will never be enough pages, recommendations, blogs, stars or post to describe how special Amy is and made our wedding day. If you want to look back on your wedding pictures and feel like you are almost back in time to those unbelievable moments, Amy is your gal!
If I said I had been looking for Amy the day I got engaged I would be lying. I was looking for Amy before I even had a hint Nick would ask me to be his wife. Amy is the photographer that catches the moments you have only dreamed about. She captures the wedding you tried to rehearse with your childhood best friend and prayed it would one day come true. I know that there will not be many if any day that compares to the day I married my best friend and I am so lucky to have the pictures to look back on and remember. Amy captured all those moments from getting ready with my closest girls, sweet moments with our families, my mom putting on my veil, our sweet flower girl (my niece) playing with my dress, the epic father daughter dance, nick and his guys doing whatever guys do, a private island first look, my dream of a ceremony, a fire truck arrival, a first kiss, a cake to the face, and a last dance too. I am so glad we asked Amy to jump in to one of our last photos of the evening because it is one of my favorite. She will always be not only our “wedding photographer” but one of our most treasured guests. We Love You Amy Little!
Terrie and Nick

Captured our Engagement in Napa Beautifully!!
My fiance hired Amy to capture his proposal at Castello di Amorosa Winery in Napa. Not only was Amy able to accommodate his request last minute (2 days before) but she helped my fiance plan the proposal and perfect pictures. I now have so many photos to relive that moment. Aside from her amazing photography skills, she is professional, friendly, and overall a pleasure to work with. -

Absolutely amazing experience!
My now fiance hired Amy to take our engagement photos during and after the proposal and she did an amazing job. Amy was extremely friendly and easy to work with - even spending more time and taking us to a second location that she found on her own to ensure we got the perfect shots. All of the photos she took are absolutely stunning and really capture the special moments we had on that day. We were also extremely impressed by Amy's attentiveness after the photo shoot - she turned around initial photos really quickly for us to share with friends & family and then scheduled a full reveal where she walked us through the entire gallery, even offering to edit any photos once we'd digested them all. Could not recommend Amy more! -
