We truly could not have chosen a better photographer! We are an older couple who have had a lot of professional photos taken over the years...so we knew what to look for in an am...
azing photographer and were rather picky in our choice. Our original wedding date was delayed (along with everything else!) due to Covid, but we decided to elope on our original date. Not only was Amber willing to use the engagement shoot time (which we did not intend to use) for the elopement, but she recommended Church of Dirt, which was the perfect mountain venue at which to elope. The photos were beyond fabulous! For the Wedding...Part 2 this August, Amber was just as wonderful - super organize and efficient, and a lot of fun to work with! Our guests and officiant thought she was awesome. We are SO lucky to have been able to use her for TWO occasions. And, I have to say, when I read the "life behind the lens" section on her website, I KNEW we would work well together. She is a great photographer and a great human being! We LOVED working with Amber and only regret we can not have a third ceremony to work with her again!
My husband and I were SO nervous about getting our photos taken. As soon as we got started Amber made everything so much fun and so comfortable. She gives enough direction that you...
don't feel like you don't know what to do, but still lets you do your thing and really show your personalities. I was really happy with what was included in the package and the quality of her prints and photo books are outstanding. She is so sweet, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Book with her! You will not regret it!
Amber is one of the nicest, most professional and talented photographers that I have ever met. She has a natural and effortless way of making someone that is incredibly camera shy ...
(and awkward in general lol) person feel completely at ease. Taking photos with her felt more like a relaxed hang out session, while at the same time feeling like we were constantly getting things done in a timely manner. I met her at a bridal show, and she stood out to me for multiple reasons. First of all, right off the bat, she was incredibly nice and smiley. Having met a handful of photographers at that point, everyone else felt really stuffy and borderline rude. Her work also speaks for itself. It is timeless, beautiful and I feel shows exactly how my husband and I are together. It isn't forced or fake looking, and isn't over-filtered like a lot of Utah photographers can tend to be.
We had ZERO snags throughout the entire process with her. She was a huge reason that our big day went off without a hitch.
If you are hesitant about booking with Amber for ANY reason,
I can assure you that booking with her is the right choice. :)
Also, follow her on Insta because she posts the cutest photos from volunteering at the animal sanctuary. It gives me LIFE <3
Amber shot our engagement photos, we had a blast! On the day of our engagements it was raining like crazy so we couldn’t shoot our outdoor location. Amber was quick to come up with...
a solution and get everything rearranged and picked a beautiful greenhouse location for our photos. Amber is absolutely amazing, I adore her! She is so warm and funny, she brought out the best in us. She was always available to communicate and always responded quick. I would hands down recommend her to anyone. I will definitely work with her again in the future.
Amber is just wonderful to work with! I used her for my bridal portrait and wedding day photos. She is so nice, and her work is beautiful. I don’t know how she does it, but she ma...
de my husband feel so comfortable and relaxed, even though he hates having his picture taken. The final product was to die for. All the photos were absolutely stunning. I really cannot say enough about Amber! I seriously recommend/will recommend her to everyone!
Amber was absolutely amazing to work with. She was always quick to answer e-mails and phone calls with questions we had, offered her assistance with an wedding plans we needed help...
with and made the process of getting our pictures taken so fun! I loved that she took several candid pictures and worked in the moment to really capture our personalities. Every picture she took from our engagement session, bridals and our wedding are beautiful! I also loved the option to do albums using the pictures she had taken as well. I am so glad we were able to work with Amber and have her capture amazing pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Amber is seriously the best photographer out there! My groom and I were a little camera shy to begin with, but she made us feel so comfortable. She's also very accommodating and le...
t us design our package the way to fit our needs. She's very professional and works fast to get your pictures back to you in a timely manner. We LOVED all of our pictures!!! They don't look over edited or overexposed. She really does use the natural light to make the pictures look so beautiful and timeless. You will want to share your pictures with everyone! Not to mention she's literally the sweetest person ever!
Amber is so incredible!! First off, she got back to me right away...not two days later, I mean right away. This was huge for me, and is most definitely important when planning a we...
dding and you're looking for responses. She was willing to come to Kansas from Salt Lake City to photograph our wedding. And even though she was in a new place, the pictures she captured were amazing. She was flexible and willing to work with us, splitting her time into segments the day of my wedding (it was a Catholic wedding that lasted more than 12 hours) while still able to capture all the very important moments for us. I couldn't be happier with the pictures she edited for us. They were so colorful and the black and whites captured so much emotion. We continue to get compliments on them. She's also great to work with! She's friendly but still professional. I highly recommend Amber!
Besides the actual act of getting married, Amber was the best decision of our wedding! She did engagements, bridals, and our wedding day. I was continually impressed with Amber's p...
rofessionalism and how she was on top of everything. Before I could even come up with a question to ask her she had already sent us all of the information we needed. We had a blast taking photos with her too, she made us feel so comfortable and it was actually fun! And I haven't even mentioned how AMAZING all of our photos turned out! I am beyond satisfied with every aspect of hiring Amber.
I could not recommend Amber highly enough! We found her at a bridal expo and she did our engagements, bridal/pre-wedding, and wedding photos. She was very professional but also so ...
much fun to work with and super down to earth. Our pictures turned out AMAZING! I swear I’m not joking when I say that I look at them ten times a day. She sent us a USB with our digital negatives and it was personalized with our names on it and put in a magnetized case with pictures on the front and back. I really appreciate the special touches she adds and the attention to detail. If you want a guaranteed amazing experience and top notch photos, you have to go with Amber Shaw!
Amber came HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by the wedding planning staff at Snowbird Resort. Planning a destination wedding in Utah from Georgia, we felt extremely lucky to have been put in c...
ontact with an amazing artist such as Amber. She was so easy to get ahold of, accommodating, and incredibly creative. Our photos turned out wonderfully and she completely captured "us".
I'd choose Amber again and again and again!
This is a long overdue review: My fiancé and I moved from Minneapolis, Minnesota in mid-August 2016 and was hoping to have engagement photos in Utah to capture the beautiful fall t...
rees in the mountains. We had no idea where to start because we had no familiarity with the area. I didn’t know what photographer to get or where to shoot the engagement photos. I simply typed into Google “engagement photos Utah,” and Amber Shaw was the first photographer on the site. I browsed around The Knot and further around Google for a week, but I felt Amber’s portfolio captured the artistic photos I was looking for as well as the mountain scenery. She had a huge range of photos and scenery so it helped us decide where we wanted to shoot. We communicated via email the entire time (maybe a one call), and she was very informative. We set the location to Little/Big Cottonwood on 9/28/2016. Amber was great at communicating (within 24 hours): she told me a few days in advance that we might not be able to shoot because they closed off the mountains due to snow (my worst nightmare). Luckily, the resort was back open because the snow all melted. She was so friendly and kind as she drove us around Cottonwood because we didn’t know where to go. She gave us great direction on how to pose, act natural, etc. We had never taken photos before, so I was worried how they would turn out (but that's just me because I'm a "worrier"). I shouldn’t have worried at all because the photos were AMAZING! We received the photos fairly quickly (maybe 1 week?), and I could not stop looking at them. All the photos were beautiful and gorgeous that my fiancé and I could not decide which ones were our favorite! I had my wedding in Minnesota, but I would have booked her again for my wedding photos if I had the money to fly her out! All in all, she was professional, down-to-earth, and I would HIGHLY recommend her as your photographer. You can trust her and you’ll be in good hands!
BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER! We got her information at the bridal expo. Didn't even meet. After going to her website we felt she matched our style. WE LUCKED OUT. Our engagements sho...
ot was so much fun. The bride and groom had so much fun and the pictures are epic. We had so many it was impossible to choose. The First Look/Bridal/Groomals were also amazing. Everything she did was better that we agreed. She has turned into a family friend. The wedding dinner and wedding day was magical. Not only are we more that pleased with everything, but we also used her referrals for videographer and hair and make-up and they were all excellent. Whenever we spoke to any professional with our wedding when they asked who our photographer was the all raved "Oh Amber is the best". AGREED. In my opinion the photographer is the most important decision/expense with a wedding. Don't gamble, go for the best!
There aren't enough good things to say about Amber. She photographed my engagements, formals, and wedding day. She is so patient and kind to work with. Every photo we received is b...
eautiful and I honestly couldn't be happier. She is a true artist and captured so many special moments for us. She is worth EVERY penny plus more! We received our photos back super fast as well! You can't go wrong with Amber!
Where do I even begin?? Amber was an absolute DREAM to work with. My original photographer fell through last minute so I contacted her with such short notice and she was so quick ...
to get back to me and immediately left me feeling completely stress free. I loved that she had such a wide range of places to shoot, and loved even more that she had photos of previous shoots at every place. It made choosing so much easier! You can tell Amber genuinely loves what she does and takes the time to make every one of her clients feel special and beautiful. By the end of the session you'll feel like it was just one of your good friends taking your photos! My fiancé and I couldn't be more pleased. It was everything we could've asked for, and then some.
Amber was so amazing to work with! She was so prompt about contacting us back, and was more than happy to work with our busy school schedules. She was professional, and easy to tal...
k to. We loved taking photos with her, and she made us feel relaxed so that we were able to take the most amazing photos. Amber knows how to capture light to make the perfect photo. We love her and have recommended her to all of our friends!
Amber is amazing!!!! Not enough can be said about her professionalism and down to earth personality. My fiance and I loved her! She responds within less than 24 hours and is hap...
py to answer any questions you may have. Her experience helps you with everything. She was able to use her expertise to help with the timeline, ceremony, and of course move things along for our big day. Amber is AMAZING! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a fun photographer who will work with your personalities and cater to your needs and desires to make your day special.
Amber was absolutely FABULOUS at communication. From the first day that I contacted her to see if she would even be available for our wedding, up until everything was finished (wed...
ding album, etc.) she ALWAYS got back to me within 24 hours, but often it was even sooner than that! That was super important to me as a bride. Also, I am extremely picky when it comes to photography (ask anyone who has ever taken a photo for me). I always notice when a picture is blurry or if it's out of focus, or the wrong thing is in focus.... etc. ....Amber did such a good job in this aspect as well. Her online site definitely speaks for her photography skills! My husband and I were both very impressed. Without even having to ask, she went above and beyond in suggesting where to park, where to meet and where to take photos. She was also very professional and was willing to take some photos that i specifically had in mind previously. Our needs didn't fit any of her pre-made packages but she was easy to work with and adjusted some things so that a package would better suit our needs. She was incredible and I would definitely recommend her as your wedding photographer. You won't regret it. I don't. :)
Love, love, love her!
I don't even know where to begin! I found Amber at a large bridal show. I was so overwhelmed at the number of photographer options and was just not super i...
mpressed with anyone I had talked to. Then I saw Amber. Not only was her work super impressive but she was so sweet and easy to talk to and her prices were super reasonable. I grabbed her card and knew she was a keeper.
I absolutely hate getting my picture taken. I am super uncomfortable in front of a camera so was very nervous for our engagement shoot. Amber was such a breath of fresh air. She knew exactly what she was doing and was able to make both me and my fiancee feel very comfortable. We almost forgot we were having our picture taken, we were too busy laughing and enjoying ourselves. (She even sent over outfit suggestions when I had no idea what would work best!)
All of the photos from the engagement shoot and weeding turned out great! They are truly pieces of art that we have hung throughout our home. The hardest part was choosing which were our favorites!
I highly, highly recommend Amber!
When I was planning my wedding, my first vendor that I hired was another photographer. Everything was great until we signed the contract and paid the deposit. After that it was imp...
ossible to get a hold of her to schedule engagements, talk about locations, etc. After a few more problems I talked to my fiance and explained the situation. He agreed that we needed to look elsewhere.
In the meantime I started seeing Amber's work on social media and was totally in love!! When I emailed Amber she immediately returned my email. I wasn't immediately sold on her yet, but after I paid the deposit and she sent me the information with all the locations she shoots at, as well as the cost to shoot at that location along with links from previous shoots so I could get an idea on what it would look like. She also listed her dates she had available! I was elated!!! I felt a level of stress fall away from my body. I showed my fiance and told him that this is how its done!!!!
Amber is amazing to work with, we were both very nervous about a photo session however both of us relaxed immediately when we met her. She is one of the nicest and most amazing person you will ever meet.
She is very prompt, we received our pictures back in a few days! Not weeks! Which helps tremendously if you are on a tight schedule.
I absolutely LOVE all my photos and we have received so many compliments about them all the time.
I cannot say enough good things about Amber, I am soo thankful that I decided to hire a Amber! She made our wedding very special.
My number one priority with wedding planning was choosing a photographer that could take amazing engagements, bridals and wedding day photos and someone i could trust and rely on. ...
Amber absolutely delivered and exceeded any expectation i had with a photographer.
Her pictures are so beautiful, she really did an amazing job at making my fiance' comfortable with taking pictures, and she's so helpful at giving great recommendations to help with the planning process.
I absolutely recommend anyone booking through Amber. The piece of mind of booking someone so talented and reliable is what every bride deserves!
