    1000/10 for Paperbird Photography!

    My husband and I had a very small Friday afternoon wedding at the courthouse and Amy did a fantastic job. We had a short engagement (engaged in December 2023 and married in April 2024!) but Amy was fine with the short notice and we even managed to fit an engagement session in 1 month before the wedding.

    Amy was a pleasure to work with and was super prepared! She put on my husband’s boutonnière, helped my sister pin me into my dress, and had all the emergency essentials in her bag. She made everyone feel comfortable and taking our wedding pictures was so much fun!

    The pictures themselves are amazing, we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. I would highly recommend Paperbird Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

    Hire Amy/Paperbird!!

    Amy was amazing to work with from start to finish for our small elopement. She was super responsive and had great ideas to make our day wonderful. She was super fast in getting us a sneak peak of photos, and every photo she captured was gorgeous. Would definitely look forward to working with her again for future photography needs!

    The best wedding photography experience!

    Amy is a wonderful and talented photographer who will make you feel at ease on your wedding day. We first had our engagement session with her, and I simply loved her energy and knew it would be perfect to counteract the stressors that come along with getting married! My husband and I had never taken professional photos before, but she told us exactly how to stand and look, all while making the motions feel natural. It was nice to not have to think!

    The day of our wedding, she arrived early to make sure she was capturing all of the special details. Not only is she a photographer, but she helps to guide you through the day with the detailed schedule that she crafts for you. Even when we were running behind, she made it feel like we were in no rush. She took her time to make sure that everyone was positioned that way she wanted them to be. She comes prepared with little things you might forget (like Shout wipes!) and even got me a drink from the bar after our ceremony to make sure I was taken care of!

    Our photos turned out absolutely timeless, and we are so thankful that we had her to capture our day. We had about 135 people at our wedding, and she was able to encapsulate the vibe and love of wedding all by herself. We are forever grateful!

    A Truly Talented Photographer!

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with Amy/Paperbird Photography for our rehearsal dinner in Baltimore, MD in June. I can't stop raving about her incredible talent & professionalism! If you're looking for a photographer who goes above & beyond to capture every precious moment, look no further than Amy! From the moment we met Amy, she exuded warmth and enthusiasm for her craft. She took the time to understand our vision for the evening pre-event & made sure to note all the important details that we wanted to be captured (including stunning portraits with the harbor/water views)! On the day of the rehearsal dinner, Amy arrived early to scope out the venue & captured additional moments & details beyond what we could’ve imagined! Throughout the entire event, she seamlessly blended in, capturing candid shots that truly reflected the joy & excitement of the evening. She used her artistic creativity to also capture extremely chic shots of us that were truly magazine-worthy & that told a story. At the same time, she was also an absolute PRO at orchestrating group photos, making sure everyone looked their best while maintaining a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Our family & friends LOVED her! What sets Amy apart from other photographers is her innate ability to capture emotions in every frame. Thank you, Amy, for making our rehearsal dinner so memorable and giving us the gift of these timeless photos!

    Amy is amazing!!

    I am so glad we hired Amy to photograph our wedding! The photos are gorgeous, but she goes way beyond just photography. We worked with Amy on a wedding timeline that she developed for us based on her detailed questionnaire. She was super responsive to all questions leading up to the day, including consulting with me on some color decisions for the flowers and my husband's tie. On the wedding day, she was a calming presence. She kept us on schedule without making us feel at all rushed or stressed. When I was getting a little overwhelmed, she kindly suggested we step inside in a way that made me feel very cared for. Amy is such a sweet and fun person. 10 out of 10 stars!

    Amazing photos and great to work with!

    We hired Amy for an engagement shoot and our wedding day photographer and couldn't be happier. Amy is a joy to work with - warm, professional, prompt, and detail-oriented. Our photos are stunning, and our family and friends tell us this frequently. We're thrilled to receive such a robust gallery at a reasonable price point. Additionally, Amy went above and beyond as a photographer - she helped with tiny coordinator-level details day-of, was able to fix my bustle, and was able to be patient and flexible as last minute things happened during the wedding day. I would definitely recommend Amy and Paperbird again for any and all things wedding photography, and plan to keep her in mind for other events that would warrant photography moving forward.

    Amy is the best!

    We are so happy that we chose Amy to shoot our wedding. She was so fun and ready for an adventure when shooting our engagement photos and really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. On the day of our wedding, she had such great pose ideas and captured so many incredible moments. She also got all of our photos back to us SOOOOO fast. Honestly I could not recommend anyone better than her. Paperbird was a fantastic decision and now I have beautiful photos to last me for the rest of my life!

    Amy was amazing!

    Amy stepped in last minute as a backup for our photographer, and we're not mad it worked out that way! She was a delight to work with. Not only did we feel totally ourselves, even in front of a camera, but our complicated families also had a smooth experience. Amy pulled us at just the right moments throughout the night, and was always there when we wanted something photographed. We definitely recommend!

    Simply the best!

    We hired Paperbird Photography for wedding photography services for our wedding held at the Mt. Washington Mill Dye House in April and I cannot recommend Amy more! I don’t know if there is a kinder or more calming photographer anywhere in the Baltimore-D.C. region; Amy is simply the best. She instantly puts people at ease and makes everyone look their best; the photos she captured are incredible – sweet, warm, fun, and classic. Amy is super organized and coordinated a lot with our planner in the weeks leading up to the wedding, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She did such a great job capturing our wedding in a way that feels so true to life; it’s going to be hard narrowing down my favorite photos to frame! The end result speaks for itself…I highly recommend hiring Paperbird Photography for your wedding! Thank you times a million, Amy!

    Amazing, beautiful photos from the most caring and genuine photographer!

    Absolutely loved working with Amy and will definitely hire her again for future photography needs! She has the perfect balance of professionalism and fun, and her photos/composition are gorgeous. We immediately liked Amy when we met with her over video for our initial wedding consultation. When we met in person for our engagement photo session, we felt at ease and had a blast. It felt like we had known Amy for years! She's gifted at guiding her subjects while she's photographing them. Amy is so kind and truly cares about her clients. Communication is easy and prompt, and she provides support and guidance as needed, particularly with the wedding day-of-timeline. She is able to quickly think on her feet and change course when necessary. On our wedding day, setup was still underway when we were ready to take family portraits and spaces we thought we'd take photos in were unavailable. She was able to quickly figure out another approach and our photos came out beautiful. In addition to stunning photos of us and our guests, Amy delivered both our engagement and wedding photos super quickly. Stop thinking and hire Paperbird Photography now!

    Paperbird Photography doesn’t just take pictures. She captures the essence of your day.

    I’m not sure Amy knew what she was getting into agreeing to capture our day.. But she took it and ran with it.

    She captured just enough “Brunswick” and a little bit of Pennsylvania twang; in the classiest most beautiful ways imaginable. Amy did so good at capturing everyone organically but also “sweetly” idk how else to put it. Genuinely, seeing myself in so many beautiful pictures was a great confidence boost. BOOK HER.

    June Farm Wedding

    Amy was an amazing photographer for my June wedding.
    She was very prepared, organized and professional during a wedding
    that flew by! I really trusted her vision for the wedding (I am a wedding photographer myself) and it was nice to let someone else be in charge for a day! The photos turned out amazing and it was very worth the investment. 🥰

    Truly phenomenal person and experience!

    Amy is a beautifully talented and incredibly kind person that was an absolute delight to work with.

    My now-husband and I hired Amy in the early stages of planning our wedding and, hands down, hiring Amy was one of the best decisions that we made - which says a lot because our entire wedding team was phenomenal.

    From that initial planning call, I felt a great connection with Amy and knew that she was exactly what we wanted in a wedding photographer - wildly talented, personable, super detailed, and a delight to work with.

    From our engagement pictures to our wedding day photography, Amy captured us and the details of our wedding perfectly. Amy is an excellent communicator, very detailed, and was able to wrangle our slightly unruly wedding party on the day of - she was so much more than a photographer for us. Despite being a Type-A bride and very detailed, there were things that I missed on the day of and Amy was quick to come to the rescue.

    You can not go wrong with deciding to hiring Amy - you will have a phenomenal experience working with her. Next to marrying my now-husband, hiring Amy was the best decision that we made in the wedding planning process.

    Our engagement and wedding gallery is downright dreamy and exactly what we had hoped for. I can't recommend her enough!

    Amazing Amy

    I loved working with Amy! She was so easy and comfortable to be around. She has a great eye for light and composition. I really felt like she heard what I wanted our wedding album to focus on and part of that was the flowers and the details. She really listen to my requests and created a cohesive wedding album. I would %100 reccoment Amy.

    We loved working with Amy! She is amazing!

    We hired Amy for our wedding and engagement photos and are thrilled with the photos she captured of us. Amy is incredibly professional (without being stiff and impersonal) and clearly an expert in her field. She took charge and lead all of the day of photography without bothering me as I was getting ready which was amazing. She was not afraid to do what was needed to set the scene, move rugs, plants, artwork, etc. and I loved that she thought of all those details. She was able to lead our wedding party through taking photos, but maintained a very calm energy during the whole day which 100% calmed our nerves too! She was like a ninja during our first look and I don't even remember her being there yet she captured incredible moments that we will cherish forever. Our guests all had lovely things to say about her and she stayed the ENTIRE night until our private dance at the end of our wedding reception! I would highly recommend hiring Amy for ANY photography needs. She is communicative, efficient, creative, and professional.

    The literal best

    Could not recommend Amy at Paperbird photography more. Not only are the photos absolutely gorgeous, but she is the sweetest person! She did both our proposal shoot and our wedding & I wouldn’t have had it any other way. She is so professional, caring, kind, and talented! She was a dream to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone

    Best wedding photographer ever!!!

    It was SUCH a pleasure working with Amy throughout the wedding planning process and during our big day! As a photographer myself, I was very concerned about the quality of our wedding photos, and chose Paperbird because of Amy’s kind spirit and portfolio of stunning photos. Leading up to our big day, she replied promptly to all my questions, helped us iron out the details of our day-of timeline, and so much more. On the day of, she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, to make the day run seamlessly, and made time for capturing so many details and moments. Most importantly, each and every photo we received was everything I could have ever hoped for and more! Do yourself a favor and hire Amy for your big day, you will have no regrets!!

    Amy is an amazing photographer!

    We were so thrilled that Amy/Paperbird Photography was available for our wedding day! After being a bridesmaid in a wedding she photographed for a dear friend, I knew I wanted her to capture our day! She provided the perfect balance - knowing when to be "strict" to try and keep our wild group on time, but fun to take selfies with on the dance floor! It was the perfect balance and our photos are stunning!

    Perfect Experience!

    Amy gave us the best experience we could imagine! First of all, we liked Amy as a person as soon as we talked to her on the phone. She was kind, flexible, and willing to accommodate our needs. We loved getting to know her better during our engagement photos. She was fun and easy to work with for those photos and during our wedding. Our photos from both the engagement and wedding were incredible. We LOVED how they turned out! All of the shots were gorgeous. She and her second photographer captured the two of us so well, and we really appreciated the photos that they took of everyone else too. We also appreciated how unobtrusive they were during the ceremony and reception; they still captured amazing shots without being obvious about it. Thank you again, Amy, for such amazing pictures!

    Paperbird Will Capture the Emotion of Your Day- and Deliver Memories for a Lifetime

    You will not regret booking Paperbird photography for your wedding (or really for anything involving photos). We have been FLOORED by every single photo delivered. Amy is so extremely kind, calm and upbeat- energy that is so nice to have around you on a potentially stressful day. My husband and I are so awkward in photos and not only is she so gifted at choosing locations and lighting and framing the photo perfectly, she knows how to coach subjects on what to do with their bodies to make the photo look so beautifully natural. We just got our full wedding package back (and so fast!) and beyond the most beautiful portraits, there were small pockets of emotion that Paperbird was able to capture that were so special to relive. 5 stars just isn't enough to express how happy we are that Paperbird was a part of our day. How many wedding photos are too many to frame in your home...?
