Amber Mae Photography

ont of the camera. We had several guests tell us that they not only loved the pictures but that they loved Amber's personality! She is so fun and will make sure that you feel at ease while getting the most beautiful shot!

etic and vision for your wedding, she brings a whole other level of what it means to go above and beyond on the wedding day. She was willing to do anything to get the perfect shot. She was so clear and concise with directing but allowed the nature of posing to take its course. I will forever recommend Amber to future brides and grooms. She is also the COOLEST, most sweetest person I have ever met. I will never be able to thank Amber enough for what she did for us. You will not be disappointed with her work!

idal suite her energy, joy and laughter made this experience a dream come true. Her communication was wonderfully warm and she made my wife and I who are usually camera shy feel so comfortable — we’ve never felt more beautiful! We feel so lucky to have been able to work with her and will treasure our photos forever!

ured more beautifully, I am still in awe looking at our photos. I am so happy we found Amber, she is truly the best!

puts you at ease. She hyped us up every picture and made our sessions just plain fun. She immediately understood our vision and worked with us to make sure that she could capture the vibe of our wedding. I adore her and her work in every possible way. I cannot recommend her enough. I would book her over and over again if I could.

nt to me. From our first messages I just knew Amber was going to be the perfect photographer for us! Her fun personality shines through even in an email, and we just clicked right away! Despite numerous covid reschedules and plan changes she was so helpful and understanding, and when we finally got to have our big day it went off without a hitch. Amber worked really seamlessly with our videographer to get some truly amazing shots, and her eye for lighting really made our photos unique. I feel like she truly captured the joy of the day and I couldn’t be happier 💖we’ve received so many compliments on our gorgeous wedding photos and I can’t help but smile every time I look at them!

nd accommodating to the vendor team and the other guests. Her joy is unmatched and her passion for her couples and her job is so evident. Amber is seriously a wedding planners dream to work with and I cannot wait for the opportunity to work a wedding with her again!

y on the day of our wedding! :) my husband and I are both more introverted so her fun energy and guidance were so important to us! Loved how our wedding photos came out and couldn’t have asked for better!!

etting the best photos. She’s not the person we’ve all experienced yelling at us to get in photos she is there to take in the experience everyone is having and her photos capture that. Amber came all the way to France for our wedding and was there for 3 whole days! She became part of the gang and made everyone very comfortable in front of the camera ! Oh also she took photos at our engagement party too! Can’t recommend enough!!!

ly got to our wedding day she knocked it out of the park! Amber blended in seamlessly with our wedding party and made sure everyone was smiling and having fun through the many pictures. We did engagement photos with Amber as well and those were so beautiful that we used them for save the dates and invitations. Amber will make sure you feel comfortable and give you the best photos you can imagine. She became a part of our party and everyone at our wedding was raving about her. She became a friend to us through this whole process and I truly cannot recommend her enough!

f the camera and went above and beyond for us. She also sent our photos relatively quickly which we were surprised given how busy she is. Our wedding photos turned out AMAZING and look so nice on our photo albums. Really, book her while you can. Thank you Amber!

usband and I did our engagement session with Amber and when we first met it’s honestly like we have known each other for years. During both the engagement session and wedding she was so sweet, fun and always had a positive attitude. She is so talented and her work speaks for itself! Because of her I will have the most amazing wedding photos to look back on. Amber will always be my go-to when it comes to out photo session needs! For any brides out there in need of a photographer Amber (Saddleback Studio) is your gal ♥️ Thank you again!!

rstands how to make the most out of the light and the environment she is given, she brings out the best in it. This quality extends to how she works with her clients, she brings out the best in them. From our very first interaction over the phone, throughout the intervening months, and on our wedding day, Amber made my now husband and I feel so at ease and comfortable. We were able to relax and simply enjoy the day without worrying if our memories were being captured. Unsurprisingly, the final product was stunning and expertly edited. We couldn't have been happier! Most importantly, Amber loves what she does and this facet distinctly shines through when she's on the job. She will literally wade into rivers and climb up mountains to capture unique and interesting shots that other photographers wouldn't even begin to attempt. This effort is rewarded in the kinds of photos she takes. They're all exquisite. I'm lucky enough now to call her a good friend and we hang out regularly. Minimally with Amber, you'll have an amazing photographer with expert customer experience skills that takes breathtaking photos. If you're even so lucky, like me, you might even meet someone that changes your life for the better and is a lifelong friend.

thing I wanted & more. All of her photos tell a story and the best part is when looking at her pictures of couples you can almost feel the love the couple has for one another. It's chilling! When I was first giving the chance to speak to her, it felt as though I was catching up with an old friend! We could've talked for hours. Sounds crazy but that's how amazing she is, she's so personable, funny, energetic , so positive, amazing, calming and SO MUCH MORE! I hung up the phone and without doubt in my mind I knew I found photographer person! She is one of the most talented photographers we have ever met! I felt as though it was fate finding her, she had shot at the venue we were using, I knew someone she had shot with, finding her was totally meant to be! The best part is she is down for anything, we wanted to go hiking for our engagement shoot, and Amber was completely on board, no questions asked! Shooting with her is the best experience, she takes all the nerves away and makes you so comfortable. To be honest I think we spent the majority of time giggling every time we were with her! I will say she can handle bridal parties, we may have been small but my goodness the energy we had, could have been a lot for anyone to handle! Amber just all around crushed it!! If you're looking for the best experience with endless giggles, amazing photos, and the crazy talented up beat and sweetest photographer, Amber is hands down your girl! We closed the door on our wedding with not only the pleasure of working with her incredible skills, but we can say we're walking away with a new friend and that's the best feeling! We love you Amber!

of June her responses were quick, friendly, and informative. We discussed brief details and got her booked for our big day. Mid July I had reached out to her to discuss the timeline of our day due to having family, hair and makeup artists, minister, and everyone else on hold for answers as we were unsure of timing with our wedding only 3 months away. She had responded although did not answer my question. After waiting a month for details I reached back out, yet again with no response. I waited about a week and a half to send another text in hopes of not coming across as pushy. Seeing that she was active on her social media yet would not respond I decided to reach out to her on another platform for communication a few days later. She acknoledged the texts that she had ignored and we spoke briefly. I asked if she would be interested in meeting for details yet I never recieved an answer to that message. I have since then decided it would be best for us to go our seperate ways due to the difficulties in communication. Although I love her photography style I was very hurt by this experience and hope no other brides will go through this unecesary stress while they plan their wedding.

antly making us laugh and hyping us up. While we wanted some spontaneous photos, we also wanted some posed - she told us exactly what to do, and the poses turned out AMAZING! A photographer once told us to "act natural" when we asked how to stand. If ask for suggestions, she will give you creative and natural looking poses - this is exactly what we wanted! Amber fit right in with our friends, families, and all the other vendors. If you are looking for a photographer who will put you at ease and make you feel confident that you will have gorgeous photos after your wedding, look no further - hire Amber - you will not regret it!

r engagement shoot, Amber was excited to hear about us as a couple and our vision and preferences on how we’d like to have our wedding and relationship photographer. She drove all the way out to Richmond to do our sunrise photos. She gave great direction, was funny and approachable, and was up for anything we wanted to try. The biggest compliment I can give is after we had finished taking photos, my fiancé turned to me and said Amber not only made him feel natural but that maybe he could be a professional model! 😂 Who doesn’t want to feel like that?! On top of everything, our photos were gorgeous and captured our chemistry. I love them so much and can’t wait for her to shoot our wedding! You will not be disappointed with Amber’s work. Reach out and book her!

ony crashers!!!! Her enthusiasm and passion really come through her photos. She is truly an artist that bring a mysterious, fairy tale vibe to your event. Book her. You won't be sorry!

hotos of our big day, and I am absolutely thrilled with our album. We met a few times prior to our wedding day, and she was prompt, responsive, and professional. She is kind and genuine and listens to your ideas and vision. You will love your pictures, and I can't wait to give them as Christmas gifts this year!

work with her. Throughout the planning process, she was very responsive and helpful. On the day of the wedding, she was efficient and also made it so fun. She is sweet and upbeat - she has a gift for photography and also such a knack for working with people. We loved her and so did the wedding party. When we received our photos we were blown away! The pictures were amazing and she captured so many beautiful moments. Amber has our biggest recommendation - she is the best.

s we always dreamed of, she knew when the best lighting would be, and she wasn’t afraid to walk around in the trees a little for those extra good angles. Even from that first email I could tell that shooting weddings is a big passion of hers. My husband wasnt as concerned with having professional photos on our big day as I was considering we were just having a small elopement with a few people but after working with a Amber and seeing how excited she was it got him super pumped up too. Even just from our first point of contact and after hearing our story, I could tell that Amber would be a good fit for our woodland elopement. I really can not recommend her enough especially if you’re having a whimsical wedding or want those extra magical, ethereal shots.

ke being the center of attention but Amber gave us the perfect amount of direction, took charge when needed, and was flexible when the weather was uncertain and we decided we needed about twice as many posed group shots as previously discussed. I can't recommend her enough!

i “ proposal pictures in the Adirondack. She helped me plan everything and even hide in the forest for a long time at -20 F until I popped the question to capture the perfect moment! We were so pleased with her work that we asked her to be our wedding photographer in Spain!! She was always accommodating and easy to work regarding flights, hotel, and trip expenses. We even did a photoshoot the day before our wedding , we walked around the city and she captured us just as we are ! Amber knows how to make you feel comfortable and definitely has an artistic eye to take the perfect shot, never pushy , no forced poses... We can’t thank Amber enough , she not only took amazing pictures, she exceeded our expectations in every single aspect . Amber and Saddleback Studio is the right choice if you are looking for an inolvidable experience!!

e sweetest person ever! She was great to work with during our wedding process and was also amazing the day off. During our wedding photos she knew exactly how to cue my husband and I and our large bridal party of 23 and make the photo session go timely and also not awkward as most photo shoots usually are. My guests all night kept commenting on how sweet and awesome our photographer was. Please look no further and book Amber as your photographer, you won't be disappointed!
