Al Gawlik Photography

Amy was by far our favorite vendor at the wedding. She did an incredible job of putting us at ease and our making sure we had fun throughout the evening. All the pictures turned out absolutely fantastic. They did an amazing job at taking all the photos we requested and even more. There were good candid shots throughout the night and plenty of memories that we will want to save forever. She was an absolute pleasure to have at the wedding and couldn’t ask for a better photographer for our night.

Super good and fast! Got our wedding pictures turned around the next week after our wedding.

What can I say about Amy that hasn’t been said before? Firstly, she’s just simply an amazing human. Her genuine kindness helps to make the wedding day fun and easy. She’s great with kids, gives easy and fun prompts for photos, has killer attention to detail, and just makes the whole process easy. I whole heartedly recommend Al Gawlik Photography.

Amy was great. We hired her for our engagement session and for the wedding day itself. Absolutely no complaints. We got all the shots they wanted and they look great. She was able to work with people who aren't used to professional photography and get some great shots. My bridesmaids can't stop talking about how good we all look and how they want her to come photograph all of their events now. Her pricing is very reasonable and her turnaround time is pretty quick considering the amount of photos taken! Highly recommend!

Amy is the most incredible photographer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She made everyone comfortable and added humor to the shoot to put us all at ease. Every time I see her photos I am able to see all the authentic emotions that were present that day. I feel genuinely blessed and honored that I was able to have her as my photographer to capture one of the most important moments of our lives. She truly cares about the couple and capturing these precious moments. If you are looking for a photographer look no further and you will have photos that will last a lifetime.

All I can say is wow. Amy provided an amazing experience from beginning to end. After reaching out for her services Amy walked me through her different packages and worked with me to truly make something that was mine. We decided to forgo the bridal portraits and instead have a photobooth and an assistant at the wedding. On the day of, she was incredibly friendly and eased my nerves (I am camera shy). The detailed shots taken were beautiful and as people filtered in Amy and her assistant did a wonderful job of catching everyone's emotions and the high points of the day. While taking (the amazing) sunset photos I was clumsy as a baby deer but somehow Amy’s photos still make me look graceful. She truly captured our day and all of the feelings and new memories wrapped up in it. If I could give more than 5 starts I would.

Amy Lynn was super easy to work with, both during planning and day of. We initially picked her based on online review, because her price was fair and we wanted the digital copies of all of the photos. Day of, Amy Lynn put everyone at ease, laughed with us and was always nearby getting snaps. Definitely recommend!

Amy was amazing! We had a blast working with her - she was super accommodating, and just the right amount of pushy to get our family members and friends organized (we are super thankful for that). Our wedding photos are still in the works, but I can speak to the amazing quality of our engagement photos.

Everything about working with Amy was amazing. Seriously. Her professionalism, friendliness, direction, artistic eye… I cannot describe how happy I am with our photos! She’s the absolute best photographer out there.

Amy delivered the best photographer experience I could've asked for at our wedding. She arrived at the venue and immediately started working. When we needed to start portraits, she took charge and (impressively) directed people where to go. She captured such raw moments during the getting ready process, created the most gorgeous portraits, and really documented how fun the reception was. Got our photos back in a timely manner and we are OBSESSED! Amy was such a joy to work with, highly recommend her!!!

I could not be happier with our experience with Amy. Her work speaks for itself, her photos are absolutely breathtaking. The speed and quality of her editing is astonishing. She was so flexible--she worked within our budget, as well as our various changes in plans over quarantine. She made my husband and I, both generally quite camera shy, feel comfortable and look so happy in every picture. And the details she caught really captured the personality and vibrance of the small reception we held. She managed to blend professionalism with fun and approachability, so not only were the pictures great, but by the end of the night she was beloved by our friends and family alike. Thank you Amy!!!

Amy is absolutely wonderful! She captured so many authentic moments at our wedding! One of my friends after the wedding even said, “your photographer was amazing, she was following you and capturing everything and you didn’t even know” and she was right! I felt like after the wedding started I hardly saw Amy, but she saw me, and there are more pictures than I could have imagined! Amy did a great job capturing truly candid and real photos of my husband, our family and friends, and myself. Amy was personable and very reassuring when we spoke before the wedding, and she was even more amazing in person!! Her style is timeless, and I am so happy with the work she created! Selecting Amy as our photographer was the best decision I made!

We cannot recommend Amy enough; she is a dream to work with- she is so warm, personable and professional and her work is incredible. I know several brides that worked with Amy for their weddings and when my turn came, it was a no-brainer. I cannot explain how Amy walks into a space, envisions beautiful photos and makes it happen- my brain doesn’t work like that but it’s a true gift. Throughout our experience, we had one postponement, expected storms on our wedding day and lots of family dynamics- Amy was a whiz at navigating all of it; she worked seamlessly with our planner and coordinator, secured back-up photo locations and captured once in a lifetime moments. We could not be happier with our photos and we look forward to working with Amy in the future!

Amy was an absolute dream to work with! I can not rave enough about how grateful we are to have had her as our wedding photographer. We had a small, intimate, out of state, unplanned, unorganized wedding at the Chapel Dulcinea. Not to sound dramatic but Amy cleared the path of stress by not only being an amazing photographer but she took the led in helping us stay calm and organized. Everyone at the wedding spoke about how awesome she was! And anyone who looks at our wedding photos say they feel like they were there! She not only captures beautiful moments, she also captures all of the emotion. I’m getting chills just writing this! Amy thank you a million! I honestly could not recommend enough.

Words cannot express how wonderful Amy is. Choosing her to be our wedding photographer was hands down the best decision we could have made. This past week we received our wedding photos and we could not stop looking at them. The photos brought so many different emotions from laughter to tears of joy as we were able to relive all of the special moments from our day. Amy takes her time to get to know the bride, groom and wedding party. She knew all of us by name. She set a fun and lighthearted tone during the wedding day but also made sure we stayed on schedule and got all of the photos we wanted. Amy listened to all of my special requests and the photos turned out better than I ever dreamed of. After the wedding, everyone raved about her! She is so passionate about relating to her couples and her AMAZING photography shows.

She is seriously the best! We could not have asked for a better situation on our wedding day. Not to mention, she was so accommodating when we had to move our orginial wedding date to another date. She was very responsive throughout the entire process and was so easy to work with. We literally had so much fun shooting with her during the day. She kept things light, joked around with us but was also in complete control when we were doing our group shots. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a photographer for their upcoming wedding. We loved working with her! Amy is first class!

Simply the best! I work in the wedding industry and come across amazing photographers often but Amy knocks it out of the park every time! Amy photographed our wedding and we could not be happier! The authenticity of the moments she captured, the beauty and lighting of our pictures are breathtaking. We will always cherish the pictures of our beloved Labrador as my bridesmaid in our wedding and the fact we get to see her every day. Thank you for giving us memories that we can hold on to forever!

My daughter had friends recommend Al Gawlik Photography for her wedding photos. The choice of photographer is one of the biggest decisions that will be made regarding a wedding. Amy was just the best! She photographed my daughter's engagement and bridal pictures and then the wedding. Being photographer for a wedding with a large wedding party and 300+ guests is no small feat - and she did it with such professionalism and calmness. The initial wedding pictures are just beautiful. With the stress that can come with a wedding, I loved how personable and yet professional Amy was. I would highly recommend her for any wedding and would hire her again!

Amy is amazing!! We are so happy we hired her for our wedding . She made sure to get all of the shots we wanted . She was efficient and organized . We didn’t have to wait around for pictures to be completed because she already knew what she was going to do. On top of that she made us feel very comfortable as well as our families . Great personality and very professional. Our picture sneak peak has us over the moon and we cannot wait to see all of them! Thank you, Amy!!

I have worked in the wedding industry for a couple of years and have gotten to know a lot of photographers, but none have blown me away like Amy's photos. She knows how to capture moods and emotions into the photo so not only do they look incredible, they tell a story that keep that moment alive forever. I knew that I needed her to be my photographer and I am so thankful that she was available. My family and guests gave me so many compliments on her directions, timing and personality. Amy knew exactly how to direct us to get the perfect shot and the sneak peek of the photos that I have seen so far are absolutely breathtaking!

I cannot express how amazing Amy is. From the moment I started my photography research to our actual wedding day, her photos and demeanor exceeded any expectations I could have ever had. When she arrived at the venue, I felt like she was a longtime friend who just happen to be taking our photos. She made everyone feel confident, comfortable, and carefree- even the groomsman had fun taking their pics! Her professionalism, organization, and efficiency were incredible to witness. I was amazed how she remembered everyone’s names and relationships to my husband and me. Her ability to capture moments instead of photos is what makes her an exceptional person and professional. Your wedding is one day, but the pictures and moments Amy captures last a lifetime.

Amy @ Al Gawlik = spectacular! Choosing a wedding photographer for our client's is A BIG DEAL so when we discovered Amy we struck gold! She is a joy to work with and has mad skills behind the lens! Her work is romantic, dreamy and creative! We won't hesitate to recommend her to all of our clients! XOXO Lyneia + Susan @So Sig Events

I was recently the Wedding Planner at a wedding that Al Gawlik Photography captured in Dallas. Amy was an absolute joy to work with! Her eye for detail is amazing! She captures those special moments and details that allow a couple to look back on their day and see their story unfold. I highly recommend Al Gawlik Photography for anyone looking to capture memories!

AL Gawlik Photography made me feel beautiful in more ways than one, more than any mirror could have. When you choose her, you are choosing to lift all your insecurities off your shoulders and have the friendliest, sweetest photographer capture lasting memories for you. I am no model by any means, but her sweet words mixed with simple tips will have you looking at the final results in amazement! Doesn’t matter what occasion you are having, she will give you pictures that will make you tear up just looking at.

Working with Amy was amazing! She captured the most beautiful and special moments from our wedding and made sure that we have memories we will cherish forever. We used Amy for our wedding as well as for my bridal portraits. She was professional, creative, and so much fun to work with. She kept us laughing, was loving and caring with our guests and family members, and made sure that we were comfortable throughout the entire day. Amy captured amazing portrait style photos as well as candid photos during our wedding. We are so happy we hired her and we can’t wait to work with her again!

Since I can remember I have always wanted to do a boudoir session. And when I got engaged, I knew that having a boudoir shoot would be the perfect gift for my husband. As a coordinator in the wedding industry for 15 years, when it came time to plan my own wedding and hire vendors for it, it was really important to me to choose vendors that I had a personal relationship with and who were among the top 1% in the industry for what they do. I never even considered anyone else to do my boudoir photos because of how phenomenal Amy Scarborough with Betty Blue Boudoir (AL Gawlik) is at what she does. I chose to have my session on the same day as my hair and makeup trial run, but her packages do have hair and makeup included in them as well. She helped me ahead of time choose the correct outfits so I felt confident before I ever arrived. The location that she shoots in is absolutely perfect! And don't even get me started on the amazing robes she has available for you to use! I had actually been extremely sick for days leading up to my shoot but once I arrived she helped put my mind at ease and never rushed me. And once we started shooting, she was absolutely perfect at helping to direct me, putting me in poses that made me feel beautiful and sexy and helped accentuate my assets, and was a master at helping me feel completely at ease. And the photos turned out 100 times better than I could have ever dreamed! After the fact, she was so quick in the turnaround time of my photos and helped me every step of the way with choosing photos and helping to design the album which, in addition to the additional prints and awesome packaging, turned out perfectly. My husband still tells me that it was the best gift that he has ever been given! For all of the brides out there looking for a boudoir photographer who will not only provide you with the most breathtaking photos, but will also make the entire process so easy and seamless, look no further than Betty Blue Boudoir! And thank you Amy for making me truly feel like the most beautiful woman and for helping me surprise Bryan with the best gift. The photos are beyond stunning and so much more than I could have ever imagined them to be!!

There is NO other person on this planet than Amy who I would rather capture life's most important moments that will last for generations beyond when I am still on this earth. Amy has taken my both professional and personal photos for me. She goes ABOVE and BEYOND in capturing YOUR vision. Additionally I have worked with her in the wedding industry and watched her create wedding memory magic! Amy took photos of me with my 90yr old Grandmother. I used to have tea with my Grandmother when I was a little girl. I wanted to relive this moment many years later while I am still lucky enough to have my Grandmother around. Some day I plan to hang these photos in my daughter's nursery. Amy is SO good at seeing the perfect shot. She captures moments nobody other than her can even see. She is also so friendly and personable and VERY good with children and pets. Every time I shoot with her nothing feels awkward and I am always beyond pleased with the results. BOOK HER FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!

I had an awesome experience with Amy. I drove from Houston to Austin just for this and it was totally worth it. Amy is very professional but down to earth and makes you feel very comfortable, naturally. She shows you exactly how to pose and look in order to make sure you get the best pictures and look amazing. After the session she was extremely quick to follow up with the gallery, album draft, and then shipping. The album is wonderful quality as well as the prints. I can't wait to share these photos with my fiance and look at them for years to come. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Amy and I would definitely do it again someday.

Amy made me feel at ease while taking some super intimate pictures for my Husabnd. I was super nervous at first but she made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. She is such a good photographer, who know I could look that good?

Amy is amazing to work with. She's so supportive and encouraging and even funny when needed. She also turns around pictures insanely fast. LOVE

We were fortunate to discover Amy leading up to our daughter's wedding, and she was/is outstanding !! We are THRILLED with the photos she produced from all the events we have used her for - engagement, rehearsal, wedding, baby reveal, etc. Truly, she is professional, communicative, complete and just an awesome person. Amy IS our photographer for life !!

Words cannot describe how awesome Amy is!! I felt an instant connection with her from the moment we spoke on the phone, and I knew she was the one I wanted to photograph our wedding. I was also fortunate to have her do our engagement photos and bridals. She has such a fun and vibrant personality that she brought to all the sessions and my wedding. Her work is absolutely beautiful, and I was blown away by very single photo. I am so thankful that she was able to capture such special moments in my life that I will be able to cherish forever. We were very lucky to have her!! Even our wedding party, family, and guests were raving about her!!

Amy is AMAZING!! She was met with us personally, and talked through our vision of the wedding so that she knew exactly what we were looking for. She knows weddings so well, and even gave us genius tips and tricks for things that would make our wedding run smoothly. She is always on time, and makes you feel so comfortable, beautiful, and special on your wedding day. She captured so many little moments that I never knew I wanted until I saw the pictures. I cannot express how much it meant that she helped us remember such a wonderful day!

I cannot emphasize how much we enjoyed working with Amy! We truly could not have had a better experience. From the onset, we were super impressed with the value of Amy's packages and services. We had a unique idea for our engagement session, and Amy worked with us to make it beautiful. She was even patient enough to let us do multiple outfit changes ;) On our actual wedding day, Amy brought an additional shooter which was amazing. She took both beautiful, detailed shots and wonderful candids that captured the mood of the day perfectly! Unfortunately, SEVERE weather rolled through right in the middle of our wedding party pictures. Amy was a total pro -- she and her team worked through flash flooding, hail, and a tornado! The entire situation could have been disastrous, but Amy was calm, professional, and still helped us get the most incredible photos. We were even able to take photos in the flooded ceremony space after the reception to capture the events of the night! When the wedding was over, Amy sent us a beautiful sneak peek gallery and delivered an amazing keep sake box with high quality printed photos and a USB drive. It was such a beautiful touch! Months after our wedding, Amy has still been available to help with last minute retouches or questions. We have ordered one album that is STUNNING. My parents are thrilled with the quality and layout. I can't imagine having anyone other than Amy capture our special family moments. We have since used her for a gender reveal and a maternity shoot, and can't wait to continue to create memories with her. Amy is TRULY THE BEST -- look no further!

Amy is so fun to work with, I knew before I even received my photos how great they would be because she made the whole experience perfect. I'm a little shy and Amy knew exactly what to do and say to make me really enjoy this shoot. My fiance is going to love these photos and they are something I will cherish forever. Thank you Amy for being so amazing!

Amy was absolutely amazing to work with. It was my first time doing boudoir photos and Amy made me feel so comfortable. She also was great at showing how to pose which made it easier for me. AND she has a super great selection of sexy things that you can use. Great experience all around! Thank you.

Amy was such a dream to work with! The best part was having the confidence to let go knowing that Amy would create something beautiful. She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and they are something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. She was always so sweet and encouraging if you felt awkward, she loved to celebrate family, she was on time and ahead of the game always, etc. etc. ! I would recommend her to anyone!

I cannot put into words how amazing of a photographer Amy is! The wedding pictures came out so beautiful. Everyone kept saying that is looks like they came out of a magazine. She is such a great photographer and person. She makes you feel so comfortable and knows how to take the most stunning pictures. If you want the best pictures you have to choose Al Gawlik photography!

This was one of the best things I have ever done!!! Amy was amazing to work with...positive, supportive, humorous...made me feel totally at ease and the results were absolutely fantastic. These were photos done for myself as I wanted to document a year of weight loss and I wanted the pride of looking beautiful again. I looked so beautiful even though I am in my mid-late 40's I was shocked. Amy is truly exceptional at what she does, and this is coming from me, someone who works in the service industry. It is one thing to do a job well and have it still be just a job and another thing to love what you do and do it exceptionally well. Amy does this because she loves it and it shows every step of the way. So much talent and so much heart! I can't wait to have another session in the future.

I cannot recommend Amy & Betty Blue Boudoir enough. This was such a fun experience, and I will treasure these photos forever. Here are a few things that stood out about my experience: 1) I forgot to mention that I wanted to get my hair done before the shoot, and I showed up to my appointment with a messy ponytail. While I got my makeup done, Amy ran to the store & picked up a flatiron. She truly saved the day (and my hair looked awesome). 2) Amy made me feel so comfortable & beautiful. I do NOT like getting my pictures taken, but Amy made it feel natural & easy. She is so good at explaining poses and demonstrating postures. I just did exactly what she did/showed me and looked like a pro. 3) Amy is SO FUN! It's like hanging out with your best girlfriend. She plays the music you want to hear, keeps conversation light & fun, and has champagne on deck in case you need a little encouragement. The two hours flew by, and I was so sad to leave! I am so happy with the pictures and the experience as a whole. If you're on the fence, just book it & do it. You'll be so glad you did!!

There are not enough words to describe how awesome Amy is as a photographer and a person. She made everyone so comfortable at my daughter's wedding. Plus, she worked extremely well with the other vendors to make the wedding flow flawlessly. The photos that I have seen so far are absolutely spectacular. Since photography is the one thing that you will have a lifetime, we wanted to make sure and select the best photographer available. With Amy, we got that and much much more.

Amy is the greatest person I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She makes you feel so special and is a true professional with your time and your wishes. I received multiple compliments from family members about how efficient, kind and precise she was about getting the shots she knew would turn out great without taking hours on end. We were able to enjoy our wedding and actually get to be involved because Amy masterfully put herself where she could document the moment without interfering. I can’t thank her enough for making our day an absolute dream with beautiful memories to frame. Her work is nothing short of art in its finest form.

Amy did a fantastic job at my recent wedding in Dripping Springs! She is a true pro and is efficient, a complete pleasure to work with and is super talented. We did a package with Amy which included engagement pics along with the wedding day pics - she put everyone at ease and the photos came out natural and beautifully. Plus she turned the wedding pics around within just a few short weeks - a lot faster than most! She knows the shots she wants and she doesn’t waste anyones time and we loved how she tries to capture the natural moments vs. mostly posed pics. Amy is wonderful and we had many guests commenting how lovely she was day of the wedding as well!

Amy has now done two boudoir shoots for me- She is THE BEST. I had no clue how to pose and carry myself for the first shoot and within minutes she had me laughing, enjoying myself and feeling like I knew what I was doing. I think every woman should experience how powerful, confidence boosting and FUN a boudoir shoot can be. And hello, the images are insane. My dude LOVES them.

Amy was super amazing during all aspects of my boudoir shoot. I went into it so nervous and having second thoughts if I should even be doing it, but she made me feel so at ease! I felt confident, I felt BEAUTIFUL. The experience made a perfect wedding gift for my husband, but I also left with a new sense of confidence that I didn’t know I had before. I would HIGHLY recommend booking Amy and Betty Blue Boudoir for a shoot as a gift for your special someone, or just do it for yourself. You deserve it!

Amy is such a great photographer, she made me feel so comfortable in my own skin and found the best light. I would work with her again and again!!

Being an older female I wanted to do a boudoir session that would allow me to feel confident and beautiful. I wanted to do something for me that I could look at for years to come at this point in my life. Amy captured me in the perfect light and in the most beautiful way. She was calm and professional and we had the best time. I will recommend her to all of my friends.

Ok, let’s be honest, when being photographed you want someone that makes you feel comfortable and beautiful and knows angles to bring out your best self! This is the person who will do all of that for you! On time, extremely professional but not stuffy, and there wasn’t a picture I didn’t love. Such an amazing experience and I look forward to scheduling another shoot soon! Book today! You will have the pictures for years to come... It’s worth it!

8.10.19 Amy became a Longoria sister!! I cannot describe the amount of gratitude I have for her. Amy made our wedding day so incredibly special. She captured everything I wanted and more. From all the posed portraits, to the guest dancing, to the kids playing, to every intimate moment. She got it all. I don't know how she was every where at once but she was! She captured moments I did not see and I will always be forever grateful for these photos. She is kind, loving, yet very assertive and can control large groups of people. Exactly what we needed with our outside summer wedding. Her work really speaks for itself though. Anybody can point a camera and take a picture but it really does take someone truly special and talented to be able to capture the moment and be able to tell such a beautiful story with pictures. Such amazing art. Love you Amy!!

From the very beginning Amy was amazing! So helpful and willing to work with us. Her work is absolutely breathtaking. On the day of, she was so kind and professional. She made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. She captured the sweetest moments; my husband in tears when he saw me for the first time, my father in law pinning on my dad’s boutonnière, the flower girl dumping the entire basket of petals on the ground. The day goes by so fast and I am so grateful that she captured these moments for us to look back on forever.

Amy was absolutely amazing and made us feel so comfortable and special on our wedding day. She and her second shooter, Amanda took beautiful photos and were genuinely fun to be with. She helped everything go smoothly on the wedding day and captured some really heartwarming candid moments. She was easy to work with and explained everything clearly to us from day 1. The pictures turned out fantastic!

Don't know what I would have done going to another boudoir photographer- she is professional, makes you feel comfortable AND instructs you how to do each pose. She did each pose to show me what to do and then I just copied her. She knows what poses look good for what body type and I wouldn't have had these amazing photos and poses if it weren't for her. I wanted airy and light photos and she nailed it. In addition, she did some darker ones which I ended up loving too! Would hands down recommend for boudoir, wedding, or any photography- she has great energy and attitude with an eye for angles and light. Very rare to find!

Words can’t describe how amazing Amy is! She’s a beautiful soul with an amazing eye. She went above and beyond for us on our wedding day and was always willing to lend a hand or guidance in any moments of slight distress. I can’t thank her enough for that. She has the ability to problem solve in a jiffy and amongst the chaos of a wedding day capture the most beautiful moments!. Anytime we have taken photo shoots with her she gets our pictures to us in less than a week, yes, even our wedding photos! I don’t know how she does it, thank you Amy!

My pictures were stunning!! Amy is an awesome and very professional photographer. She captured the most intimate details of my wedding and helped me to relive that perfect day!!

We could not have selected a better photographer for our wedding. Amy was absolutely wonderful from our initial contact to weeks after our wedding. Our photos are just breathtaking!!! Her professionalism, humor and ability to make everyone involved feel at ease is so appreciated. She truly is the best at what she does.
