User1794549 Sent on 09/04/2014Searching all over the internet to find a photographer at the last minute. That's when we came across Amy Raab's website and we had to have her as our photographer. Our first time meeting her was on our wedding day (07/25/14) and she was outstanding. We felt as if we knew her for forever. She captured beautiful moments of our wedding that we wouldn't ever forget. She was a pleasure to be around an to work with. She made us feel very comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day. Her work is outstanding! Our pictures were ready within two weeks and came out beautifully. We were very blessed to have her as our photographer! And our family enjoyed her as well! We will be using her services for more moments to come. . . DTS -
User1048954 Sent on 12/19/2012After searching online for photographers throughout the Washington area, I stumbled across Amy Raab's website and instantly fell in love with the richness of color in her photos and her knack for capturing special moments instead of cheesy poses. Once I spoke with her over the phone, I was sold! Not only is she talented, but she is warm and friendly and clearly passionate about her work. I booked her immediately and I am so happy I did!
My husband and I first met Amy at our engagement session. She spent so much time with us and our dog Emma to make sure she got the perfect shots, and the photos came out amazing! We used them for our save the date, website, and engagement announcement in the Washington Post.
During the planning process, Amy was very accessible and responsive to my questions. She was very organized, and prepared a shot list to ensure we did not miss anything we wanted to capture. On our wedding day, Amy and her associate, David Spence, were absolutely incredible. Although it was clear that they were focused on getting great pictures, they still chatted and laughed with everyone and kept the mood light. Throughout the day they both were so non-instrusive that I did not even notice they were there. We also hired two videographers, and Amy and David worked very well with them to ensure everyone got the shot the needed. I cannot recommend Amy Raab enough, and will definitely ask her to photograph family pictures for me in the future! -
User969680 Sent on 10/11/2012Amy was nothing short of incredible. My husband and I felt that finding a GREAT photographer was the most important item on our wedding "to do" list - the photographer stays close to you for the entire event so you want to be comfortable, and of course, you want to have someone talented who can preserve your happy memories forever! Amy delivered and then some. We liked her from the first time we sat down with her to talk about plans and expectations - she is a consummate professional but also so very, very friendly and put us at ease right away. She makes it clear that she works within her limitations - 20 weddings a year - so we knew that our event would get the photography care and attention that we wanted. On the day of, perhaps the thing my husband was most nervous about was being in front of so many people and being photographed (he likes his privacy). Amy was amazing - the entire time she was with us, she made us smile, laugh and feel like we could be totally ourselves. She sent us her photos this past week and they're INCREDIBLE - I wish I could have her follow me around all of the time so I'd always look so fantastic in my photos. ;) More importantly, she captured not just the scenes of our wedding, but the FEELING of our wedding - the happiness, joy, and love. I now get to see and share some of the moments I missed in the flurry of the big day - guests wiping tears of joy during the ceremony, my mom helping my husband with his boutonniere and kerchief, incredible dance moves. Plus the assistant she brought with her on the big day was so friendly and lovely. We couldn't be happier. We 110% recommend Amy Raab for your photography needs - it will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding day or special event! :)

Julie Sent on 09/10/2012Amy was a delight to work with from our first meeting until we received our final images. She and her assistant Arianna's laid back, hands-off approach was exactly what we were looking for, and set everyone at ease. The images captured do an amazing job telling the story of our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the end results! -

Veronica Sent on 12/09/2011I'm not even sure where to begin with recommending how AMAZING Amy Raab and her assistant, Allison, were at our wedding this past September. For me, finding the perfect photographer was the most important ingredient in the overall scheme of the wedding festivities. After 2-3 hour long interviews with multiple highly-acclaimed photographers, fortunately for my husband and I, we found the light: AMY!
Upon meeting with her I was completely at ease and really enjoyed our conversation. She wasn't trying to sell or push me as to why I should choose her company. Keep in mind, Amy doesn't shoot a wedding every Saturday and take on just any contract. Because of her talent and the quality of her work, she can afford to be just as selective as the bride.
Her gorgeous photography displayed in her Annapolis studio, along with her personality and beyond pleasant disposition was all it took to move forward with the contract. I booked her about 14 months before my actual wedding, and that was an incredible relief! I had a September 2011 wedding, and moved to California in August 2010, so you can imagine the frustration, stress, and difficulty planning a huge day from the west coast with the time difference, etc.
Amy made this very easy. She is VERY responsive whether it is through email, text, or just calling her cell; I never went an entire 24 hours without hearing at least SOMETHING back from her to put a busy bride's mind at ease. While remaining extremely professional, you can vent to her your frustrations with the wedding planning and she is very helpful as far as recommending other vendors and making the entire process as smooth and painless as possible.
Two weeks before the wedding, Amy and I got everything organized as far as the necessary shots with the wedding party, family, and close friends. She and I arranged the timeline that would occur that Saturday and followed up with her assistant, who would be shooting the groomsmen preparing for the wedding, until we all met at the church. The entire day went so smoothly and beautifully. Amy made it so FUN, not that feeling where the photographer is like "OK, now everyone let's get together, look here, and SMILE". It's not cheeseball photography, or "posey". I filed that shenanigans for my sorority days or facebook. This is your WEDDING, the biggest day of your life. Her approach is more photojournalist and she is actually able to capture the moments that replay your wedding day so magically it can bring you to tears! Her photos were BEYOND BEYOND BEYOND. We were so extremely thrilled with the quality of work she did, and throughout the entire day she was so unobtrusive I was worried that I may only have got a couple hundred pictures. As it turns out, her and her assistant shot over thousands of photos but they are so good at what they do, it's like they are not even there. We are so pleased with the outcome of our pictures we know we hit the jackpot with having Amy Raab shoot our wedding.
If there is one thing you want to be confident when going through your wedding checklist, it's the photographer. With that being said, if you are in the Annapolis area, you want your photographer to be Amy Raab, and better hope your date isn't already reserved by some other lucky bride! -
User588712 Sent on 07/27/2011Amy and David were so wonderful! It was a pleasure working with them and having them document our big day. I haven't seen the photos yet (the wedding was only about 1.5 weeks ago) but the few that I did see during the wedding/reception looked AMAZING! I can't wait to see the final result. I'm positive it will be everything I wanted.
