Amy Carr Photography

moments and can't wait to see what she captured. She was great to work with on the day of and had a great blend of not being in the way or distracting from any part of the wedding, yet I also knew she was there capturing so much of the activity. She has a great style and demeanor and her personality was really reassuring and calming to me as a bride and the rest of my family (who are large and unruly to manage at times!). I also found Amy's rates and packages extremely reasonable for the Bay Area. As someone who doesn't like to be photographed, Amy had a very good knack for relaxing both my husband and I. Very happy!

ve with our photos and could not be happier with how they turned out!

lan when we would take photos; and considering how valuable wedding reception time is, this was a godsend. We signed our contract with her right away after we saw this. Amy was very receptive and communicative about our needs either through email or in emergency situations, by phone. During the ceremony and reception she was there at every important moment covering the wedding, but she was never obtrusive. It's almost like she was never really there but somehow captured all the important shots. We enjoyed her very appropriate documentary style. She also impressively avoided a meltdown with our ring bearer who wasn't cooperating during a shot. Everyone in the wedding party were shocked how fast she turned his face around to keep the photoshoot train moving. From candid shots to poses, Amy is the photographer you want. Great photos, great rates, great person! Thanks again Amy!

eautiful, I can't stop looking at them! Her work really speaks for itself. She got all the candid shots we were hoping for and was very unobtrusive in doing it. I received compliments from many guests saying what a pleasure Amy was, she even trained my 3-year-old niece to take pictures on cue within 5 minutes of meeting her! I would highly recommend Amy for any pictures you may need, no matter the occasion!

y guests loved her! Not to mention how great she was with my 3 year old nephew/ring bearer who did NOT want his photos taken! She was so sweet to take the time to get him comfortable with her and even let him take a few photos himself to get him warmed up to the camera. I highly recommend working with Amy!

d and candid photos. We compared many different photographers in the Bay Area, and I believe she offers the highest value for her price. Highly recommended!

g cool was happening and suddenly she popped up behind the camera. Some of our shots required an intense hike and she balanced two cameras and smiled the whole time. She was awesome to work with before, during and after the best day of our lives. Thanks Amy!

tally unobtrusive for those candid shots and directive in just the right way for the ‘standard’ wedding shots. Her portfolio of photos speak for themselves. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

ly has a passion for art and photography, and would do whatever it took to get that great shot! Her dedication came through in the final photos. Her turn-around for getting the photos back was extremely impressive, and she captured the day perfectly. We can't stop looking at and loving all these photos!!

quite prompt and professional. We knew after our phone interview with her that she was going to be the wedding photographer for us and meeting her in person only confirmed that tenfold! She is a pleasure to work with, so warm, calm, reassuring, and helpful in person. The photos were well worth the eager wait after the wedding. The are EXUISITE and capture our love, relationship, and wedding perfectly. She used our venue to its highest potential, and I was very pleased with the results. Thank you, Amy!!

e, and Amy remained cool and calm, suggesting that we take pictures in the shade of some spectacular redwoods in the botanical garden, which came out just beautifully with almost magical lighting. She captured lots of wonderful moments during our ceremony and reception, and handled wrangling our family members with patience and efficiency. We're so happy with how all the photos turned out!

h our wedding would be photographed (part planned photos and part candid shots). Taking photos before and after the ceremony was really fun and special for us. During the reception she was ever-present, capturing an enormous variety of events as well as strategically asking different parties to pose in fun and interesting ways. She was also very affable and numerous guests commented on how professional they thought she was, as well as how many pictures they saw her taking. We would definitely hire her again!

and were not disappointed. On our wedding day she captured each moment with elegance. She asked which photos were most important to us and made sure to get those while capturing all the magic of the day. She had a positive attitude and was easy to work with. We really enjoyed looking though the photos we got from her and we would recommend her services to any couple getting married.

t up into the excitement of the day and Amy was great at capturing all the important moments of the reception without us even needing to worry about it! Most importantly, we loved our wedding photos and are so happy to have them to remember the special day. We would definitely recommend Amy!

m other photographers and is the big reason why we were so happy to have Amy capture our wedding day just a few weeks ago. She As for communication and planning, she is responsive on text/phone and had detailed timelines for our us to use with planning - super helpful and Amy is a true professional. We cannot wait to get our pictures, since we had the golden hour right after our ceremony for photos and I already have a great feeling, since we could tell Amy was so excited when she was snapping away!

photos of the ceremony which was greatly appreciated. All in all, she made us feel confident that our beautiful memories will be captured forever in her pictures.

d her professionalism throughout the day. When I saw the pictures for the first time, I had tears of joy in my eyes at how beautifully she captured the day.

d so helpful for a day that can be stressful. She was flexible, and found beautiful spots for photographs. Her work is truly incredible! . She was able to capture wonderful images of us, and our loved ones. Getting our pictures back was so fun because we were able to relive the day through her lens. Her bright and vivid images will be cherished in our family. If you are still searching for a photographer, stop looking and work with Amy! It is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we simply cannot thank Amy enough.

we wanted. We highly recommend her.

ne that coordinated everything and edited our photos and she was fantastic! She kept us informed of every detail and took care of any bumps in the road flawlessly. I would recommend Amy Carr to anyone!

e various cultural needs of our multiple ceremonies. She worked well with our Rabbi and our venue coordinator loved having her as our photographer. And that is just her! We are not a fussy couple and don't typically enjoy posing for photos, but Amy made the whole experience fun. Her photos were more beautiful that we could have imagined, she really captures the emotions during candid moments and my husband and I have loved going through our album.

l photos with family and friends. We would definitely recommend her for any event.

and flexible. Unlike some of the other vendors we worked with, Amy was consistent in keeping in touch with us, and was always available to answer questions, etc. Relationship: Amy is both professional and laid back, which makes for an easy and fun relationship. She is open to ideas and will do what it takes to make her clients happy. My fiancé and I wanted to do our engagement session on seaways and Amy was adventurous enough to ride them with us! It was a blast! Photos: As you can see, Amy takes beautiful photos. Simply gorgeous. She is also quick in her turn around time, and will not have you waiting and waiting to see your final results! Cost: Even though Amy is a highly sought after wedding photographer, she keeps her prices incredibly reasonable, especially when comparing them to other photographers in the Bay Area. You will not find another photographer with as much experience and talent as Amy for the same price. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a photographer for their engagement and wedding. Seriously, stop wasting your time shopping around, you have found your perfect photographer right here.

re fantastic! On top of that, Amy edited our photos and they turned out perfect. We could not be happier with our experience with Amy Carr Photography and would absolutely whole-heartedly recommend them.

t Amy made it so comfortable and easy we had a great time! She is incredibly professional and knew all about how to get the best shot and make the lighting work for us. She came prepared with some fun poses for us to try and also made a point to incorporate all the poses that we really wanted. Amy is easy to be around and will make you feel completely comfortable, which makes for great natural looking photos!! The photos are beautiful and we couldn't be happier that we chose Amy to be our photographer.

e us feel much at ease about hiring her. Amy is a versatile and accommodating photographer that I would recommend for large and small events alike.

oyable. Thank you, Amy, for beautifully capturing a day that means so much to us.

nt photographs turned out great; we received so many compliments on them from our friends and family. We are very excited for her to photograph our wedding soon!

ompliments on that shoot! Amy is also reasonably priced, which is basically non-existent in the San Francisco market. She was never pushy getting us to hire her, unlike some vendors. We adore her and would recommend her to anyone.

wedding in December!!

arm personality and professionalism. Her work speaks for itself but it was the way she helped us to just be our goofy selves in front of the camera during our engagement photo session that really made us feel like we had found the right photographer to capture our wedding day. When our big day finally arrived, Amy immediately settled our jitters and reminded us to just have fun. She took so many creative shots, capturing hundreds of moments in such a way that we get relive our wedding with every glance through our digital album. She was so patient and kind with our whole family that even my energetic nephew was smitten with her and enjoyed watching her at work. It was such a pleasure to work with this remarkable human - my husband and I cannot recommend her enough.

k with, on top of everything from the moment we hired her months before the wedding, through the wedding day itself. She made sure we got all of the shots we requested, and was great working with kids, too! Before hiring her, I read a review that called her a photography "ninja" - that is so true! She was present and everywhere all at once but never in the way or obvious... I highly recommend Amy if you want candid, vibrant photos that will make you feel like you're living it all over again, and keepsakes you can't wait to show everyone!

was reliable, affordable, very easy going and fun to work with and incredibly talented. Would absolutely recommend Amy!!!

do our engagement photos and we were more than pleased with them. It was a bright sunny, but also windy day in downtown San Francisco, so we were afraid it would be challenging to get some good shots outdoors. Amy was flexible, enjoyable to work with, and had creative ideas. The results were stunning!

ceremony which she handled with aplomb, despite the inevitable delays in herding people ! The photos were lovely and overall it was a great experience.

es at the time were very reasonable, and I appreciate that she provided us with digital copies of every photo she took, both edited and unedited, as not all photographers will do that. I would definitely use Amy again for family photos if we were still in the area.

whimsical touches. Amy immediately picked up on all this and gently guided the couple so she could capture all the tender and precious moments as well as the playfulness and the goofiness... and nothing felt or looked remotely "staged!" Amy is perfectly professional, full of warmth and optimism, and overall a pleasure to work with - book her!!

and was comfortable right away. I didn't check out any other photographers after meeting her. She's very relaxed but still makes sure that the booked time is being used very efficient. She brought a nice colleague which was cool because I think it is great to have pictures taken from different perspectives. Amy was in love with my dress - everyone kept commenting on this after the wedding. She was very focused on me - hopefully we'll have enough sweet shots of me AND my husband, family and wedding party. I trust there will be so many amazing pictures. She seemed very passionate and so detail oriented about her work - you could tell. She was excited about light and perspectives. She picked awesome spots to take the pictures. Amy, thank you! Can't wait to see your great work!

her. We also choose her because we liked her style of beautiful photos in both the photojournalistic style, and also in portraits. On the actual day of the wedding, she did a great job. She took all of the posed photos we requested, and when it came to the photojournalistic shots, I barely even noticed she was there! She was very fast in getting the edited photos back to us just a couple weeks later. All in all, we couldn't have been more satisfied with Amy!

oFA. Then our ceremony was on a yacht on San Francisco bay, and Amy was everywhere on the boat! But somehow always the right place at the right time. She also did our engagement photos and I think that day was almost more fun than our wedding day (less jitters!) Could not be more pleased with the results! Hire Amy; you won't regret it!

reat memories from the experience.

ntiments of the day.

e we missed too! Both Brides were happy with the results!

wedding couple. We got married in Tilden Park in Berkeley, and she definitely knew great places within the park to get really cool shots. She loves photographing weddings and her passion really shows.

e of mind knowing we had booked someone with her expertise and warm personality. She was also great at getting back to us in a timely manner with questions and emails. On the day of our wedding we were running a little late with getting ready and getting our wedding party and family together for pictures, but Amy was extremely patient and flexible. She is very creative and took so many amazing and beautiful pictures which I would have never even thought of with our venue. Our families had so many good things to say about Amy, and once we got back our pictures we got even more compliments from friends and family. She is so wonderful and easy to work with and I think did an amazing job for the price. Her work and personality are definitely worth the money you pay for and then some. I've unfortunately witnessed other weddings with difficult photographers or seen pictures that didn't do the wedding justice and this was not the case at all for our wedding. I would 100% recommend Amy Carr for any of your wedding needs:):):)

our inquiries. The day of, she was calm, organized, and so encouraging! She put everyone at ease, was at the right place at the right time and caught some unforgettable shots. Somehow she got at least one beautiful photo of everyone at the wedding (plus tons of us)! She also gives you both an online album and the digital files of your photos- definitely a plus. She is making our wedding album as well and I can't wait to see how it turns out!

wanted someone chill and affordable, and she fit the bill perfectly. On the day of, she was assertive when she needed to be, while simultaneously sweet and accommodating. The photos are beautiful, and she seemed to be in the right place at the right time for a great photojournalistic style. Thanks to Amy, we have the photos we wanted to remember our wonderful day.

zing photographs, and I love how her pictures were able to tell the story of how our day unfolded. Amy has a wonderful eye for framing and lighting, which was important for our November wedding in Oakland, as we moved from outdoors in the garden to a breezy patio to indoors to the dinner and dance floor. As the lighting changed dramatically over the course of the day, she adjusted the photos perfectly and with ease. Amy captured all the moments that mattered most, which is quite a challenge at any wedding. Her photos showed the range of emotions that we both had as well as the tender moments with our children and family. She also shot an outdoor engagement session, and her ideas on backgrounds, color, and special effects created some of the best (and fun!) photos we have ever had taken together. Lastly, not only is Amy a nice person to work with, but she has a couple of hidden talents. She did some last-second wedding dress pinning and adjusting that matched the skills of my seamstress (who wasn't there) and made the dress look perfect. Thank you Amy for capturing our moment and all the love that we felt that day.

The Academy of Art, so we had no doubt that she’d capture great shots! So far we have done an engagement session and a boudoir session with Amy (our wedding isn’t until next year), and are so happy with the breathtaking photos and candid shots she took that we cannot wait to work with her again on our wedding day. In our first meeting with Amy, she was already taking about the best places for photos at our venue and where and when we’d get the best light for the photos. Amy is extremely personable and immediately puts you at ease, which was especially helpful as I was a bit nervous for the boudoir session. I spent the entire day with Amy – boudoir session in the morning, and then my fiancé met us in the afternoon for our engagement session around San Francisco. Amy was very flexible when it came time to schedule our sessions. Her pricing is also very flexible, allowing you to customize your package to get exactly what you want rather than being locked into a package that may include things you don’t want.. She also creates beautiful albums if you choose to add that to your photography package. As mentioned above, we are extremely happy working with Amy thus far and cannot wait for our wedding She is excellent at capturing the moment and emotion in her photos, so we are sure that will be even more easily captured in our wedding day photos!. We highly recommend Amy and her work!

end photo album. The design, layout and photos in the album are one of the only material possessions that I own that I would run into a burning building to safe. These photos capture your special day, the love that brought you together, your friends, family and all the hard work in planning a wedding to encapsulated in time forever.

photo shoot times. Again for the dedicated photo shoots, she had great ideas for couple and group shots. She moved all the group shots through quickly and efficiently. When all of our photos came back, I was truly overjoyed with how well she captured my husband and me, as well as so many of my family and friends. There were so many great natural shots that reveal what the guests and we were really feeling on that day. Plus the touching up that she did made our very authentic photos and magazine finish. When I look at our album, I am transformed back to those moments on the happiest day of my life as if I can still feel them. But I also look at them and say, "Wow. I look amazing!" It's exactly what I wanted from my wedding photos. Amy also photographed our friend's wedding 11 months after our wedding. As guests, she didn't instruct us on how to smile or what poses or faces to make in the pictures. She simply, perfectly captured us and our friends in all our joy. She was also completely professional and easy to work with and communicate with. Amy comes with my highest recommendation!

than willing to accommodate our needs and for a great price. We're still looking forward to working with her on the photo album and getting one of the shots in front of the Golden Gate bridge blown up poster size. Amy was an all terrain photographer and a trooper as we scurried up and down hills and valleys in the Botanical Gardens at UC Berkeley and all around Marin Headlands in front of the GG Bridge. Her ideas made for wonderful photos. She was relaxed and fun to work with. I wish I could post the pics here, but I guess you can see lots on her website. She has also been wonderful to work with after the wedding. Two thumbs up for Amy Carr!!!

it rained most of the evening but she was able to work with the space available and was even able to squeeze in some shots outside between raindrops so we could have the backdrop we had initially planned. She was a consummate professional and worked easily with our videographer and wedding coordinator. Her photographs not only recorded the night but she was able to capture the joy and the love between us, all our family and friends. I would recommend Amy to anyone, anywhere. She is definitely worth it.

good. By flipping through our website, we are able to relive all of the day's wonderful moments and be wowed by how good she makes everyone look! But just as important, Amy was a consummate professional and has mastered that tough balance of being unobtrusive while still getting the shots. She rolled with the punches when I got stuck on the Golden Gate Bridge (traffic literally stopped for now reason) and was 30min late to the wedding, during the ferry ride to the reception site, and with kids running around during the entire event. She even laid down in the street in the middle of Tiburon to get some of our favorite photos. We literally could not be happier with Amy and are recommending her to everyone we know!

take pictures of things we asked her. She blended in so well that we nearly forgot she was still around, so am very very excited to see the pictures!

et a bit bossy because of the time frame and I loved that! We had a large bridal party so it was necessary and she wasn't really bossy, just direct. I will receive the digital photos 4-6 weeks after my wedding date and revisit this post.
