Amy Bennett Photography

an absolute blast doing our portrait photos! Amy is flexible and creative and her photography is stunning. I couldn't be happier, and you will not be disappointed working with her!

nes, Amy was very responsive and professional. She even had the most up to date weather forecasts to help a nervous bride with last minute location planning.

she had a definite talent for photography. She was very professional, and helpful as we worked through the difficult process of setting up our wedding. After our cancellation, she was willing to fully reimburse us, and was very kind throughout the entire process. If we end up using Vermont for our future wedding, we will definitely be calling her back.

responsive and very organized. She was flexible in setting up a time to meet her for the first time as we were from out of state. And her personality - wow - I don't think she could have been anymore fun to work with. My guests raved about how entertaining she was all while managing the chaos of my wedding. Day of, she along with her daughter and husband beyond amazing. They took charge when they needed to and arranged some of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. Enter the rain. Amy and company helped take control of getting things situated inside as the rain (and by rain I mean torrential downpour) started right as I had walked down the aisle. She never missed a beat - or a photo. When the rain cleared out she was very calculated about when we needed to get back outside to finish our wedding party and couple portraits. Again not missing a beat, she jumped right on board when one of my bridesmaids suggested with stage our outdoor ceremony so that in photos, it looked like nothing ever happened. I was amazed that she was willing to go out of her way to make that happen. In the end we have soooo many beautiful photos. They are bright, they are fun (not super posed), and they capture every single aspect of our special day, right down to the fog that came over the mountains/lake after the rain. I would highly highly highly recommend Amy and her family if you are looking for an absolutely genuine human being with an outstanding talent.

do. But if you're lucky you get to work with someone like Amy, who you'd honestly want to add a seat at your head table for, and bring to your after party, because she is so integral to your wedding. She doesn't just provide exceptional photos - photo's which capture every facet of the venue, ceremony, friends, and family - but she provides peace of mind, fantastic advice, and is so flexible and supportive. We are of the many couples that had their initial wedding plans disrupted by COVID-19. And while certain vendors maintained policies that were extremely discouraging, Amy was there with each step of the way, open to any scenario we decided to pivot to. We will be forever grateful to Amy for helping to make our wedding everything we envisioned for it, and would recommend her 10 times over to anyone looking for the perfect photographer for their big day.

we started our vendors search, we had to rely on our wedding coordinators recommendations and the reviews couples posted. Amy was so incredible from the start, we booked her before even meeting her. All of our "meetings" were done over the phone or through email, covering every detail and timeline. Two weeks prior to the wedding, when we were finalizing the timeline with all the vendors, Amy sent out a detailed timeline of when she and David were going to arrive, when and where photos were to be taken, and who was part of those photos, to all of our vendors and wedding coordinator, so EVERYONE was on the same page. Our wedding flowed so seamlessly because of her coordination and attention to detail with everyone. Literally, not a single thing went wrong during our special day, and it's in large parts to her organization and insane skills. She and David are HILARIOUS. My husband and I are not naturals in front of a camera and we were having the GREATEST time. We couldn't stop laughing and it made it all the more special. We received our photos 3 weeks after our wedding - incredible, I know - and let me tell you, I never thought I could love our wedding photos as much as I do. Amy made us look so good!!!! We were so happy with them, we submitted them to The Woodstock Inn and Resort to be part of their wedding gallery. Amy captured the greatest day of our lives and I cannot stress enough for all the soon to be brides, searching for a photographer, to hire Amy Bennett.

s that can feel pretty unnatural! She has a great eye and sense of creativity, and approaches her work with purpose and assertiveness- which was important for us since we had a rather large wedding party and a lot of family photos to cover in a short time! Amy made sure we ran through our schedule efficiently, and her and her husband David were so pleasant to be around throughout our day. We are extremely happy with the way our wedding photos turned out. She captured everything perfectly- we truly could not have asked for more! We would absolutely recommend Amy to anyone!!

ever. In fact, in my view the wedding photographer is the most important vendor you hire. I did a lot of research, looking through photographers' online look books. I was immediately drawn to Amy's pictures. I scheduled a call with her, and when we spoke it felt like I was talking to myself because she understood my vision completely. I knew right away that she was "the one." In the days leading up to our wedding she was incredibly responsive, helping me plan the day's schedule and which photographs would be taken when. She also offered helpful suggestions, since she's a pro at the whole wedding thing and this is the first (and hopefully only!) wedding I'd ever planned. On the actual day of my wedding, she and her husband (her second shooter) showed up nearly an hour early, jumping in to photograph my accessories and also capturing getting ready pictures. They worked together seamlessly to capture all of the wonderful moments throughout the day, even climbing through bushes in order to ensure they got the best shots. When they needed to direct people they did, always politely but firmly, making sure the pictures got done just the way I wanted them while ensuring my guests were also enjoying the experience. And wow, did they get some incredible pictures! I am so happy with my wedding photography, and I can't recommend Amy enough! And as an additional bonus, she and her husband are a lot of fun! It's the most important day of your life, and you spend a lot of time that day with your photographers. By the end of the day we all felt like the best of friends, and they really added to my happiness that day. That's all I'll say in this review, but I promise I could go on and on about how wonderful Amy Bennett is! You'll be so happy you hired her!

introverts who are more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it. She had the right combination of directing us and letting us be our goofy selves. We were extra lucky that she is a Burlington native (we are from Massachusetts) and she knew a bunch of good spots to take us for a varied portfolio of photos in one single session. I regularly use the photos for cards, prints, and hopefully a book someday! I definitely would recommend Amy and her gorgeous photos.

want. She knows Vermont venues and vendors well. Highly recommend if you’re looking to marry in Vermont!

we chose her. Amy is the best communicator. She kept me in the loop prior to the wedding and answered all of my (many) questions very quickly. She is highly organized. She covers all the details and made our day feel like it ran so smoothly and easy! She is so sweet, we were all friends with her by the end of the night. Most importantly, we couldn't be more thrilled with our wedding photos. She turned them around in 3 weeks! We are over the moon and could not recommend her more. Best wedding decision we ever made was having Amy do our photography!

m Vermont. I loved her photos and just everything about her on her portfolio website and loved how she broke everything down right on her website which not many photographers do, it was very helpful. When I had spoken to Amy for the first time she was so easy to talk to and I knew I wanted her to be our photographer. After our wedding I was upset that I wouldn’t like how I looked in the photos bc the weather that day was crazy and ruined my hair! When I received the photos back which was very quick! I LOVED absolutely ALL of them I cried/laughed all over again, we were reliving the most perfect day! Amy is truly an artist and her photos and style are absolutely amazing! We can’t thank her enough for capturing our special day! If your looking for a photographer Amy is the perfect one!

mes part of the feeling and emotion of the day, and magically imbues her work with the tactile, vivid energy of being there, deep in the love. She not only captures the images, she somehow bottles the ambient feelings, so you can feel the day, not just see it, so you are transported back into the moment. This is a rare quality, one that gifted painters sometimes have…the ability to instill energy and feeling into a painting or a photograph, so that the viewer can feel the emotion reverberate in his or her body. Amy’s craft is not simply her work, it is her Art, her special gift in this world. Amy requires her couples to come to an “engagement shoot” sometime before the wedding, and at first we didn’t want this—we are in our 50s and didn’t feel the need to announce our engagement--but we learned that it is really a session to enable Amy to get to know her subjects, to see how we photograph, to learn who we are. It should be called a “preparation shoot” and it is absolutely helpful and beneficial. In this session, we got to know Amy and learned how she works, and she got to know us, to feel us. And a word about how she works: Amy is absolutely organized, and deftly guides her couples through their day, so that they spend less time having photos taken and more time having fun. She is a leader, not afraid to ask someone to get out of a shot she is taking, firm and professional and in charge. Her photos during the day went fast and crisply, so well-oiled is her technique and flow. This ability to take charge and get the photos done is critical on a day when epic bedlam is the happy state of affairs; Amy is the chief of staff who keeps everyone on task, as essential as a wedding planner. Amy communicates well in advance of the wedding, sending checklists and questionnaires, and has several planning phone conferences before the wedding, so she knows what you want. This planning is essential. She follows through and is efficient and clear in her role, yet she has time to be moved by the ceremony itself…she cried at our wedding because she loved our vows so much. Amy’s industry knowledge of how to get the best photos made us feel at ease and comfortable in her good and capable hands. She gently guided us during the reception to the next shot, without interrupting our joy or our flow. Finally and most importantly, Amy’s shots are well composed and artistic, even painterly in their composition. She worked the landscape and all the details effortlessly, producing photos that take our breath away. As mentioned above, by our wedding day she knew us, she felt us, she became part of the joy, and that joy is palpable in her work product. She wasn’t just our photographer, she was one of our guests, one of the family! One of my favorite non-Amy photos is an IPhone shot a guest took of me and my groom, and Amy whisking into the space to get a photo of us…I love it because Amy is in it, she became that important to us! Amy Bennett is a wedding photographer above any other. She loves what she does, and you not only see that, you feel it in her preparation, her work, her art. Hire her if you want ethereal wedding photographs that transport you back in time, back to your day, like visiting Brigadoon.

urselves. Our bridal party & family loved working with them - and were thankful for Amy's energy, speed, and organization. When we received the photos back - they were absolutely amazing. The photos captured the day beautifully - they made us look our best and captured our authentic selves and all the details of the day. We are forever grateful to Amy -- thank you so much for giving us something beautiful that we can use to relive the weekend over and over again.

the background. And she did not disappoint. I am absolutely in love with my pictures!!! I got married at Killington vt, and having the mountains and scenic views incorporated was important to me. She was able to capture the views perfectly but also still having us stand out. She captured special moments, made us feel relaxed and comfortable and every pictures send to me I love. I look at my pictures and feel I am back to that day. She was also so much fun to have around and you can tell she works fast and knows the right place to be at the right time. She and her husband work as a team and added to how much fun and happy the day was. I would recommend her to everyone i know.

ng everyone at ease and on time! Great turn around time for the event galleries!! Can’t say enough how much I loved her work and my couple just adored her! Anyone would be lucky to have her capture their special event!

come with the wedding day! On the wedding day she and her husband and daughter all were there taking pictures - which I am so grateful for. They were able to capture so many moments from SO many angles, there wasn't anything they missed. Her photos speak for themselves, and it's hard to put into words how happy we are with our choice. Thank you SO much Amy - I can't wait to see you again in the future when you photograph one of my friends weddings - because if you choose Amy I guarantee your friends will also fall in love with her and request they photograph their weddings... even if they aren't engaged yet :D

s. Amy was a wonderful part of our wedding and we would highly recommend her to anyone.

ent the moment she eases your nerves and starts to shoot your love story. I never in my life would have imagined having such beautiful documentation of my wedding day. Amy understands how to work efficiently, have fun, and remain organized (a great combination). Amy can vibe with any personality to make sure that portrait shots run smoothly. She also prioritizes the types of pictures you want from your day -- I really appreciated that personalization. Amy & David made our day run smoothly -- having two people shooting different groups and perspectives was important to me. As a result, I have thousands (LITERALLY THOUSANDS) of incredible photos that allow me to relive my favorite day. My advice to anyone that asks is to pick one aspect of your wedding that is super important to you, and budget for it. I knew that photography was top of my list, I found Amy on the Knot and took a peek at her beautiful galleries on her websites, and was instantly sold. I didn't think it would get better until I met her in person and her hilarious husband, David. They make a great team, and I would pay them twice the price for the work that they did both during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. I have beautiful photos that will last a lifetime, and I can't thank Amy enough for a job well done. BOOK HER! You will NOT regret it :)

Amy kept the show moving, was cognizant of the timeline all day, and wasn't afraid to tell non-wedding gawkers hanging in the background of my photos to scram :) Even our wedding guests commented on how the team was on top of everything. The team found the perfect balance of capturing all the moments but not being too intrusive and allowing everyone to be natural. Amy was able to capture so much raw emotion, it brings me back to all the feelings on that day. Her photos are timeless, natural, and amazing. Every bride needs Amy on their wedding day.

lent shone from the beginning to the end. All in all, Amy and David were a joy to work with and they captured moments that we could not have imagined. We cannot recommend her enough!

very first Skype conversation—she made us feel comfortable and at ease from the beginning. We had so much fun with our engagement shoot and our wedding photos turned out incredible. We’d suggest Amy to anyone—her combination of quality, personality and style is a rare find!

her work far exceeded our expectations.

plan to allow us to enjoy our day while capturing every moment. She was fun, light hearted, and engaging with us as well as all of our guests. Looking back at our photos, Amy's ability to capture the real feel of our wedding without staging photos was everything we had hoped for. I would 100% recommend Amy Bennett Photography for your wedding day or any other important day you would like to capture.

hy even before meeting her. The fact that she is a wonderful person with whom we all immediately felt comfortable made our decision to hire her all the more easy. Our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding pictures exceeded all expectations. Many are works of art, others capture all the excitement and love of the day. Through it all Amy and her team were unobtrusive and integrated seamlessly throughout the pre-wedding activities and the wedding and reception as well. We give Amy our highest recommendation.

near our venue to the wedding day itself, Amy went above and beyond for us in every way. By the end, we felt as if Amy and David were not only our photographers, but also our friends. Truly, we saw them as guests at our wedding. Amy made us feel so comfortable and struck the perfect balance between giving us the gentle coaching we needed and telling us to just do what felt natural. The result was amazing: her photos beautifully captured our love for one another, our connections with our family and friends, and every amazing moment of our special day. We absolutely love our photos and received so many compliments from our guests. Amy, thank you for providing us with these keepsakes, we will treasure them for the rest of our lives.

e in a lifetime event. On the wedding day she orchestrated the picture taking with the all the various groups of family, wedding party, and guests. The 1000+ photos she took and developed were incredible. I understand the importance of capturing the many aspects of this special day so my high recommendation for Amy is not taken lightly. She is a real professional at her craft!

for our photography. She has a gift and talent for capturing the moment and making everyone feel so relaxed and comfortable. My daughter and son-in-law seriously fell in love with Amy and her "caddy" Dave. And that is easy to do. The quality of her work is phenomenal but most importantly, the energy and warmth that she brings along with her kindness are just as outstanding. I can go on and on but the bottom line is that Amy Bennett should be your number draft pick - you want her on your team!!!!

e and her husband are so easy and fun to work with. My husband and I are both people who aren't big on taking photos- Amy did a great job of getting us to enjoy the experience, but also knew when we were reaching our threshold. Beyond the posed photos, though, Amy did a fantastic job of getting a ton of candid photos and did so inconspicuously. If she's available, book her now!

e all as good as what you see on her pages... even better actually. From discussions on budget to engagement photos and wedding, Amy delivered in an amazing way! Not only were our photos great (and shared with us less than two weeks after our wedding!!), but our guests made a point of telling us what a great photographer we had... commenting on her warmth and putting people at ease. Prior to our wedding, I described one of our primary reasons for selecting Amy as her being “guest friendly”, and she didn’t disappoint! Amy, while seemingly disappearing into the scenery, ensured we captured the photos we didn’t even know we wanted and beautifully! Geoff and I highly recommend Amy Bennett Photography.

to the wedding, she made an effort to reach out several times and get to know me/establish a level of comfort so that we were already acquainted and on friendly terms by the time the big day rolled around. On the wedding day itself, Amy showed up exactly on time and her passion and dedication to her work was immediately apparent. She was assertive, creative, positive, and proactive. She was in many ways more than a photographer: she also helped oversee the day's timeline and ensure things were running smoothly. I was so impressed by Amy's artistry, hey eye, her professionalism, her warmth, and her overall approach--she was worth every penny :) I could not recommend her more highly!!

We will always cherish the beautiful moments she captured. We would highly recommend Amy to any couple planning their wedding or special event!

le. We instantly connected the first time we spoke over the phone. Her positive and upbeat personality made working with her extremely easy. She made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot. Despite the frigid temperatures atop a ski mountain, Amy remained her positive self and kept us laughing and enjoying every moment. She has a talented eye and is able to envision beautiful shots on the spot. Not to mention, she turned around our engagement shoot photos less than 24 hours later! From her experience on a beach to a ski mountain, Amy is fantastic! Do yourself a favor and book her!!

had a blast with her and her team. I was so impressed; she was creative and thorough, capturing so many pictures of the moments of the day, us, and the people who surrounded us. Her eye for a moment was exceptional. She even made our crazy idea of going to the top of Mansfield before the ceremony a reality. I can honest and truly say, our wedding wouldn't have been the same if Amy wasn't our photographer. Amy is the best. Thank you so much for making and capturing such a special moment in our life.

r engagement session and was so approachable and funny. We shot at Shelburne Farms and Amy spent her time capturing each shot and did not rush us. Furthermore, she really captures your natural self and does not spend a lot of time posing you which is nice. We just got our photos back and we absolutely love them. Amy is a wonder of a woman and an amazing photographer. We can't wait for our wedding in June to work with her again. Look no further and book with Amy!!!

lity and the photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined. She was not only professional and personable, but she captured breathtaking moments in the most amazing light and in front of beautiful walls and backgrounds. I would recommend her to anyone and am looking for another excuse to have our photos taken in Vermont again as well!

seen in her images. She has an eye for detail and is technically super knowledgeable. Your wedding is the one event in life that you want to capture perfectly. Amy does this and more! Call her before she books up!
