“These photos have blood and life under the skin. Amber, they’re sanquine! We saw your portfolio and knew we couldn’t hire anyone else.”
— Rebecca T.
“Most of the shots were candid pictures of our family waiting for our ceremony, embraces, kisses, funny moments and family pictures. She was able to capture very deep moments right after the ceremony, particularly of our parent's emotional embraces and our kids' emotions.”
— Vane C.
“Amber is a great person and has a wonderful energy about her.” — Grant. G
“In terms of the actual photography, she was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Our shots were so beautiful and really captured our feelings. Every picture just radiates love and happiness. It was great also that she's from New York, so we didn't have to worry about knowing where to go to get the best views/backgrounds. My wife and I are beyond pleased with the results. We cannot wait to order our prints!!! Amber, we love you!!!!”
— Erin M.
“Amber is not only a phenomenally talented photographer, but also one of the best and most genuine people you will ever meet.”
— Kristen W.
“As a wedding planner, I've worked with all types of photographers, and Amber was such a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding. She was professional and assisted in creating the timeline, which most photographers will brush you off and never want to discuss. She ran on schedule the day of and had such a positive attitude, too! Our bride and groom had a lot of logistics, and she was so patient! She just sent the photos, and they are breathtaking. Must hire!”
— Jennifer Boyle of Jennifer B. Events
“Amber is (and goes) above and beyond: she's incisive, inclusive, with a keen eye and an open heart. Choose her for your wedding and you'll have no regrets! My wife and I were in a trans-Atlantic relationship and decided to get married in New York. Amber was a key confidant and advisor from the beginning – she helped us decide to go with a private, intimate ceremony and were so glad we did.
Amber's work was impeccable. She put everyone at ease, worked with us to find special touches and moments that felt significant to us, and left us with pictures we'll treasure for a lifetime. Amber is a treasure and comes with our unequivocal recommendation!”
— Linus B.
“I never thought that I could look that beautiful and natural in front of the camera. She really went the extra mile for us. She's an amazing photographer and human.”
— Laura J.
“Where Amber's work really shines, and where the pictures become exceptional, are the candid photos. The photos of the two of us as a couple are simply stunning in a way that frankly I didn't realize either of us could look.”
— William D.
“While there was nothing picturesque about our surroundings, Amber worked with the iffy lighting and uncooperative subjects (did I mention that we fear cameras?) to create pictures that are lovely, personal, and above all, real.”
— Lisa J.
“You made us feel so comfortable, so calm, so well cared-for, and our crowd so controlled (without being forced into awkward poses). We are generally quite introverted and quiet people, so making us feel relaxed while having to be the center of attention was quite a feat.
What else can we say? You were a gem.”
— MM & LQ
“We wanted a photographer to capture our special day and wanted one who was supportive of two women getting married. Thanks to Pinterest and Google, we found Amber! In reading about her, we found that her views matched ours in so many ways. Beyond the standard contract, she recommended a place to have dinner after the ceremony and took us on a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge…Thank you Amber for beautiful pictures as well as priceless memories!”
— Simone D.
“She caught moments of pure joy, and it is palpable in the photos. They make us relive the moments, evidenced by the number of people who called to say they teared up looking at them.
…the aesthetic was important to me too. I wasn't looking for anything too edgy, but rather specifically for fresh and crisp light, beautiful color, and the occasional fun and quirky composition. We talked about this a lot too, and she delivered on all of the above.”
— Caroline S.
