About this vendor
I have always loved telling a story through photographs. Since high school I've been obsessed with taking pictures. That obsession carried on into my college ambitions and I ended up with a BFA in Photography from the College For Creative Studies. Since graduating in 2011 I started freelancing and soon wedding and portrait photography became my calling.
There is nothing better then getting to show up at one of the most important days in your life and document the feelings, the emotions, the smiles and the (good) tears. I bring my style and vision into your life and give a serious authentic look into your day. I want to be part of your family for an hour…or eight. I want to capture the genuine, true and honest moments and bring you images that are real and emotional.

I can't recommend Amber enough!! She photographed our wedding and was amazing to work with. My husband (!) and I were both very nervous and feel awkward in front of a camera, but she made the whole experience easy & fun! We knew after our engagement shoot that we had nothing to worry about for our wedding day. She provides previews extremely quickly, which we appreicated since we were so excited & anxious to see the photos. And they turned out perfect!
Where do I even begin with Amber? I’ve done FOUR photo sessions with her throughout the past few years and will continue to use her services ♥️ I’ve done a mini session with my dog, boudoir shoot, engagement shoot and my wedding photos with her.
She is nothing short of amazing! She’s prompt and professional. She makes everyone involved feel extremely comfortable during the photos and makes you feel like you’ve been friends for years! She is so creative and always adds her own personalized touches to the photos. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! Thank you so much, Amber! 💞
Amber is honestly the best!!! My husband and I planned our wedding in Michigan from Utah so the first time we met Amber was the day of our wedding and that made me nervous at first, but the second we met I knew we went with the perfect choice! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, she knew exactly what she was doing, and honestly was such an amazing part of our day and made it so easy! Matt and I were so excited we went with Amber because she took the most beautiful pictures of our special day and even sent preview pictures the morning after our wedding!! Like are you kidding me! How amazing! Amber was the sweetest person ever and I am so happy we chose her. Anytime we are back in Michigan, I know we will always choose to have her photograph for us! I would highly highly recommended Amber, she is truly an amazing person you want apart of your day!! 💗💗
I was so nervous about this portion of the wedding planning because my fiancé and I are not very affectionate and don’t love being in front of a camera. Amber made us both feel so comfortable right from the start and we had such an easy and comfortable time. Our engagement pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous and we’re so happy we went with Amber.
Amber is so wonderful to work with and the results always bring me so much joy! She's done photos for all the major events in our lives and I've never been disappointed!
Amber photographed my wedding, and she was fantastic! Very easy to work with, organized, super responsive to my emails and requests, and overall just a kind person. In general I am not super comfortable in front of the camera, but she made me feel relaxed and I LOVE my wedding photos. They really capture all the feelings and emotions from the day, and I'm glad I'll be able to look at these photos to remember my wedding for all the years to come! Her work truly speaks for itself.
Amber was amazing!! she came highly recommended and she truly made us feel ourselves in front of the camera. we just got our preview and I can't wait for the full album!
It was truly a pleasure working with amber. She is a professional and works magic with the camera. She captures real life authentic moments and the photos are beyond beautiful. I am so incredibly happy with her work. She does great with families and posed photos but if your looking for someone to truly capture those real life “Kodak moments” amber is the one! I also did a boudoir shoot with amber and she has a way of making you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She knows the best angles and the photos look stunning! Hands down will hire amber for all of my photo needs in the future!
Amber is phenomenal! She was truly the easiest vendor to work with and her work is incredible. Check out her galleries and you will fall in love! She made taking our engagement photos and wedding photos so comfortable yet turned out such stunning photographs that I couldn’t believe how effortless it all was. She’s such a joyful person to be around and trust me, that’s the type of energy you need during covid wedding planning. Highly recommend and can’t believe how talented she is and how easy she makes it all seem! The best!
I seriously couldn't love Amber & her beautiful work more! Amber first shot our engagement photos a year ago, and this past weekend did our COVID elopement and in March she'll be doing our full day wedding celebration! I was in love with our engagement photos, but BOY OH BOY did she outdo herself on our elopement photos! I cannot wait to display these everywhere & to continue to work with Amber! If you're looking for a laid back gal, who perfectly captures your wonderful day and always has a smile on ready for a day full of fun.. then Amber is 100% your photographer!
There aren’t enough good things I could possibly say about Amber! We had a huge wedding party and so may family photos she made sure everything went smoothly and efficiently. Her second shooter, Sam, was also awesome, even when the bus driver we had backed over her car and smashed it up. Amber and Sam made sure nothing was delayed for us, which is mind blowing and we are so thankful. Amber is an absolute dream to work with and I can’t wait to have her take pictures for life events from now until forever!
We found Amber through our wedding planner and are so happy we did. She came with one other photographer and they did an amazing job! Everywhere we could have wanted them to be they were. They had amazing ideas for candid photos after the wedding and were so helpful with poses for shots throughout the day and were really enjoyable to work with. I can't wait to see the final product!
AMAZING AMAZING!!!
Amber is such a gem!!
Her talent and love for what she does is unlike any other!! I am so glad I had found her to photograph our wedding day!
We could not be happier with her work in capturing every special moment and then some! She was even willing to lend a hand when all of our arms were full trying to get everything to the church! (its the little things :-))
Thank you Amber for all of your hard work and dedication to our wedding day!
Amber was a dream come true! My only regret is that we can't give her 10 starts! We could not have imagined a more perfect photographer for our wedding! Her photos give me butterflies, and hiring her was the first time I was actually excited to be planning our event! From the beginning, Amber was so flexible with us, creating a package just for us and our price point, adjusting to anything we asked, with compassion and understanding. I can't stress enough how she bent over backwards to make this work for us, and she was so responsive and kind the entire time. I actually am a trained photographer myself, so my standards were very high, as well as my stress levels, but once I knew I was working with Amber all of my worries were put to ease. Photos were the single most important thing to me, by far, and she not only exceeded my expectations but wowed me to the moon and back!
During our wedding, Amber, and her second shooter Jake, were a joy to have around. I couldn't help but have a giant grin on my face all day because they were just so perfectly integrating and skillfully executing their trade- these people are GOOD at what they do, AND fun to be around! I am not comfortable in front of a camera at all, very much an introvert, and she made me feel like I was just hanging out with my closest friends, not in the middle of my biggest spotlight nightmare. She checked in with me during our (long) event multiple times to make sure everything was okay, and was so client centered and loving yet professional and discreet, I sincerely could believe she is my fairy godmother sent down to make our day absolutely breathtakingly perfect.
The joy didn't stop there! We received our pictures at breakneck speed, before the date she told us, and, guys, seriously--- THEY. ARE. INCREDIBLE. I want to look up synonyms for incredible, perfect, wonderful, beautiful and list them all here- she captured the big moments, the small ones, the mood and the beauty of our venue, and the joy in our day so exactly and artistically they give me goosebumps. I don't know what crazy beautiful magic brought Amber to me, but I will eternally be grateful and overflowing with love for what she has done for us. A million thanks will never be enough for the beautiful pieces of art she created out of our day, and I will cherish each and every one of them forever.
Amber was such a genuine pleasure to work with. She is professional, incredibly talented and makes you feel at ease during shoots. Amber shot our engagement pictures in 11/2017, and our wedding in 10/2018, and we couldn’t be happier! You will not regret booking her as your photographer, and she will remain our go-to photographer for years to come. Thank you, Amber!
Amber captured our wedding day this past June, and she exceeded all of our expectations! When I was researching photographers I kept finding myself going back to her blog and looking at her albums over and over, her style is exactly what I wanted. Then once I met with her and she was so friendly, and easy to talk to, I knew she was the right choice. She has a way of making you feel like you’re already friends which is really important when you want to feel totally at ease during your special day. We did both our engagement photos and wedding photos with Amber and we are obsessed with both shoots! I am already trying to think of what other special events we can book her for!
Her photos truly capture a moment in time and allow you to go right back to that memory, I know when we look back at photos 30 years from now we will remember the feeling we had in that moment.
She is the real deal, you will not be disappointed!
Amber did an amazing job she is awesome! My husband and I hate taking photos but she and Jake made us feel so comfortable and were super easy to work with! She answers emails promptly and answers any questions or concerns we had! I already have been recommending Amber to my friends and family!
Oh goodness - where do I begin with explaining how amazing Amber is?! She is so sweet and responsive. Every question we ever had was answered quickly and thoroughly. Neither my husband (!!) nor I like being the center of attention, and Amber made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and our wedding day. Everything was super easy and relaxed. We received our pictures quickly and they are so gorgeous. Friends, family, and strangers have all commented on how they look like they came out of a magazine. We love every single shot and will cherish them for years to come. We are so lucky to have found her!
Amber is hands down the best photographer! She is very friendly, professional, and super easy to work with. And her work is STUNNING! Her ability to capture the little moments and make everything look organic is just flawless. My husband and I just got our wedding pictures back and we can’t stop looking at them. Everyone we show our pictures to say that they belong in a wedding magazine. That is the caliber of Amber’s work. We are so lucky we found her!
We loved Amber so much! For one she is an amazing photographer and so efficient, it almost feels weird at first because photos are so easy but then you see the results and you're even more amazed at how she got amazing shots with so little effort on your part. Amber is also very organized and calm and she makes photos fun and easy, I felt so comfortable around amber and she answered my e-mail questions quickly and put me at ease. I'm a very picky and organized person and Amber couldn't have been any better of a choice for us!
Amber's work is outstanding. My husband and I hired Amber for both our engagement and wedding pictures and we could not be happier. Amber is easy going, friendly, professional and certainly very talented. Each shoot was effortless and this comes down to Amber's sheer talent of organically capturing each moment without anything feeling forced or awkward. Being a professional in the wedding field myself, I can't wait to recommend Amber to my future brides; every couple deserves to experience the fantastic work of such a self motivated, punctual, responsive, caring and highly skilled individual such as Amber.
Thank you Amber for all of your hard work in capturing our most magical day!!! I can't wait to work with you in the future!!!
We cannot thank Amber enough for the INCREDIBLY photos she took for our wedding. Amber was creative and simple, making the process far less painful than both of us could imagine (neither my husband and I are very comfortable in front of the camera). Amber not only made sure we had the staple photos, getting ready, first look, first kiss, etc., but she also captured memories we would not have normally remembered such as family members hugging and the two families coming together over a meal. And for that, we are forever grateful and appreciative for the work and love Amber put into our photos.
We absolutely loved working with Amber for our engagement and wedding photography. She worked with our budget to create a custom plan for what we needed, and delivered on every commitment she made. She is warm, friendly, professional, and so talented! Candid shots are a strength of hers - she effortlessly took beautiful photos that truly captured our essence and the moments that mattered most to us. To be honest, I barely even knew she was there, and then she ended up turning up the most amazing pictures. She has a wonderful way of making you feel comfortable and yourself. I highly recommend Amber!
Amber Marie Photography can be described with one word "wow." She is one of the best in the business. If not the BEST. Period. It's truly all said below and above but, she was quick to respond to every email we had with her and made sure our engagement shoot and wedding day was filled with fun ideas and let my wife and I be "us". I have been to many weddings and been in the wedding party a handful of times. Most photographers that I have come in contact had no personality and didn't do anything really creative. Amber is the complete opposite of that. She's makes you laugh, has great ideas, and provided an overall perfect fit for my wife and I. I truly wouldn't even consider Amber a vendor, or photographer anymore. I truly see her as a friend that is a great photographer. That's how personable and amazing Amber is. I have only seen the "sneak peak" photos that she posted and I truly can't wait for the final product! Looking at the sneak peak to the people we have shared with they have all said "She captured the both of your personalities" It's not often you meet a photographer that can capture not just the people but, the moment. The moment is what makes all the difference. That's why I will strongly recommend anyone to Amber Marie!
What can be said about Amber that hasn't already been said!!! Hiring her for our wedding was the BEST decision we could have possibly made!! We currently live in AZ and Amber was so accommodating and communicated quickly via email! She is phenomenal and the way she is able to capture the moment in one single picture is amazing! I also decided to do a self love session with her as a surprise for my Husband and this was actually the first time I met her in person! She made everything so comfortable and fun! Those pictures turned out even better than I could have imagined! I keep joking saying Amber is stuck with us for life now :) even if we have to fly home multiple times a year for shoots with her! Do yourself a favor and don't think twice about booking Amber Marie Photography for your special moments!!!
I met Amber for the first time when I was a bridesmaid in a wedding last October. First of all, Amber is pint sized fun. No one enjoys taking pictures for hours, but with Amber, it was so relaxing and enjoyable. She is such a natural at her job and you can tell that she truly enjoys what she does. Since I am a wedding vender myself, I constantly recommend Amber whenever I can. She's the best of the best!
I took me far to long to write this review. It took me a year of research to decide on a photographer, being a photographer myself. This was the most important part (besides marrying my best friend) of the day. She was so easy to work with and fun-and (I think) became a friend. Which is exactly what I wanted. Her personality just meshed so well with us. Her style is gorgeous and everything we wanted. She has gained a client in us for life. I am ready to book some anniversary photos for this coming year. I can’t recommend her enough. And she is pocket size and adorable. :)
Amber is amazing. Super easy to work with and made taking tons of pictures of us fun and easy. Awesome photos.
There are no words to express how pleased we were to have Amber as our wedding photographer. She was everything we could have ever wanted and more! She was so professional and easy to work with. She made the awkward constant taking pictures feel normal and dealt with bossy grandparents easily. Amber fit right into our wedding like she was one of guests. I never thought we could feel so comfortable with someone we didn't know all that well. I went to high school with Amber but that's not why I chose her, I chose her because her pictures aren't your typical wedding pictures, they are raw with real emotion. I will be going to her for any of my picture needs for the rest of my life. I highly highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed!
Amber is absolutely incredible and is a true professional!
I actually found her while looking at our venue and seeing that she had shot a wedding there recently. I immediately fell in love with her style! After my now husband and I met with her it didn't take long for us to love her as well. We did our engagement session with her and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Our photos were edited and returned to us in no time!! At our last meeting before the wedding we went through our timeline and our expectations for the day and I swear we were on the same wavelength with everything! She made us even more excited for our day. The day of the wedding she and her assistant arrived and immediately went to work. We had some rain on our day, but she reassured me it would be all good and we would make it work. Which we totally did, she helped to pick out a great location for our first look and even stopped at a bar with the bridal party to capture some fun photos.
She is such a laid back person, but she knows when to take charge and get things done! She helped me wrangle my crazy family and get the pictures needed in no time. She was kind enough to take a ton of personal requests for photos.
As we returned to our room after the reception Amber had already posted a sneak peek of our first look, I wasn't even out of my wedding dress before seeing a photo from our wedding! It's those little things that really make a difference.
All in all Amber has been amazing to work with and I would recommend her to everyone and everyone! She is a true artist and offers incredible wedding packages. Thank you Amber! You are a Rockstar!!
The short version: Amber is the best!
The long version:
My wife found Amber's work online and loved the style, she also realized that Amber had been the photographer at her friends wedding and hadn't even remembered seeing a photographer (very discrete) and so we thought those were good signs and set up a meeting. Our first meeting with Amber was in a coffee shop. It was immediately obvious that she was very kind, fun, and most importantly personable. We knew right away that we would want her to be our photographer for our wedding and engagement photos. We were able to get a really good package deal by doing both with her.
I emailed Amber dozen's of times leading up to our engagement photos with all sorts of hypotheticals. "'What if it's raining?" "What if we bring extra clothes" "What if we want to go over to this place". Amber always responded right away with a smile. It really felt like she was a friend and not a vendor we had hired. The engagement photos themselves were incredible. Amber has a great eye for a good shot. If you asked me to give you a downside I would say that we ended up with so many great photos we ran out of wall space and picture frames trying to display all of our favorites!
For the wedding we had met with Amber again to go over all the details. We had a not-so-small request for her to get a group shot of us with all our guests following the ceremony. Let me tell you it is no easy task organizing a good photo of 250+ people. Amber was excited about the idea and even took charge of organizing the people on the church porch, its an absolutely incredible image and we have been including a copy in our thank-you notes! Amber was discrete as always and never in the guests' way. She was also great at helping a photo-phobe like me know how I should stand, where I should look, what I should do with my hands. I would have been lost without her.
VERY quickly after our wedding we received our photos, which is good because I think waiting would have driven us mad. They came in an adorable box on a very personalized flash drive which was really neat. The photos had already had the standard editing completed and boy were there a bunch. I cannot believe how many great photos Amber (and her assistant) took in such a short time! Also, great might be understating them. We love them all. Some make us laugh, some make us cry. I think my wife will be changing her facebook profile picture every other day until our first anniversary because she can't settle on a favorite photo.
Amber was absolutely the perfect person for our wedding photos. She is incredibly nice and friendly and it's great to have such a personal experience in the midst of all the companies and vendors you go through for a wedding. Her photography and editing is stunning, she really is great at what she does. To anyone looking to hire a professional photographer for any occasion: I cannot recommend Amber Marie Photography enough! You won't be disappointed!
