Amy is a stellar human being and a very talented photographer! She was my first choice of photographer and the first vendor I contacted after our engagement. I love how colorful, r...
eal and emotional her photography is. She is so experienced and was able to offer great suggestions and advice on how thing could work on our wedding day. She is such a calming, enthusiastic and positive person, it made getting our photos taken so easy. Our wedding photos are magical. They capture everything that was wonderful and beautiful about the day. Amy not only provided us with amazing photos, she was the only person to think of recording the live music from our wedding ceremony! That is such a blessing and something we will treasure.
We could not have been happier having Amy Gray as our wedding photographer -- she's exactly the person you'd want to have along for the ride on a very important day. She is persona...
ble, enthusiastic, and wildly talented with an amazing eye for capturing the real-life moments you'll want on film forever.
Here are a few reasons why you'll love Amy too:
+ She's great at reading the room and making everyone feel comfortable and extra joyful. Within minutes of meeting Amy, we felt like we had been friends forever. Amy made us feel at ease during the whole process. She integrated seamlessly into the wedding festivities and captured every photo we wanted. Every single member of our wedding party remarked at how much they enjoyed being around her and how she went out of her way to capture every important detail and moment.
+ She has a real editorial eye for fun, authentic moments -- she can style any situation on the fly and has amazing suggestions. We did a small courthouse ceremony followed by a big party reception and Amy was great at capturing the fun, colorful party moments as well as the quieter and more meaningful moments for just us two. When we got our photos back we were floored by just how much she had captured. It wasn't just about perfectly posed group shots, it was about getting ready together, the meaningful expressions, and big family hugs.
+ She was our favorite vendor -- before, during, and after -- because she was SO easy to work with on all the logistical pieces. From our first call, Amy totally got our vision and had thoughts on how to capture a two-day, two-city wedding bonanza. It was apparent that she put lots of time and attention into the details of travel, equipment, hotels, second-shooters, tick-tocks, etc., but we would never have known it. She was seamless and it made the day-of so easy. All of my friends have horror stories about missing cocktail hours or not getting a photo with their favorite aunt. With Amy, we never had to sweat the small stuff!
+ She takes really beautiful photos :) Amy is just a really technically talented photographer. Her attention to detail, and the way she uses color and light in her photos, is simply stunning. We have some photographers among our friends and family, and they were blown away by Amy's photos. In sum, we could not recommend Amy highly enough!
Amy was so wonderful to work with for our wedding! She helped us plan a timeline and had great communication with us before the wedding. During the wedding day she helped the day r...
un smoothly and kept us on track. Even when we were a little behind (for other reasons) she kept us calm and captured so many amazing moments throughout the day. She did an amazing job with candid photos and really captured the emotion, joy and beauty of everything. I highly recommend Amy if you want a fun, relatable, down to earth photographer who will capture the beautiful moments of your wedding day. Thank you Amy!
We could not have asked for a better photographer. To keep the gushing to a reasonable level, I'll state the obvious facts: She will capture your wedding day in all of it's glory. ...
Her sense of color is astounding, every shot pops with exuberance. Her ability to catch real moments (emotional and high octane) is awe inspiring, especially when you know it's so hard to get those radical reception shots! And her ability to put everyone at ease, to feel the most authentic, calm, comfortable versions of themselves is worth every penny.
I knew a photographer was going to be in my face all day long, so when I looked for great photographers, I was adamant about finding not only a top of the line shooter, but someone who I genuinely would enjoy spending the most important day of my marriage with. AMY WAS THE GREATEST. My husband and I could not have loved her more. She is warm, funny, kind, and totally game to work with you to get the best possible photos that truly feel LIEK YOU. Do not hesitate to hire Amy. She is a true gem. We could not have loved working with her more.
We loved Amy so much! She was so down to earth and fit in with our vibe that my cousin even asked if she was one of our friends. We haven't gotten all our photos yet, but the ones ...
we've seen so far are GORGEOUS. The colors are so vibrant, and she perfectly captured the energy of our friends, family, and the spirit of the day.
From the beginning, Amy was a joy to work with. Our Skype planning sessions were like talking to an old friend. On the day of, Amy and her amazing husband Ivan didn't miss a single...
moment. Everywhere we looked, there they were, already having captured the moment. They were diligent, hard working rockstars and it helps that they are both really cool peopl.
The moment we knew we made the right choice was the moment we met Amy over Skype. Her warmth and enthusiasm made us feel as if our day was as important and special to her as it was...
to us. And this despite the fact that she's as in-demand a photographer as any out there. Her photography speaks for itself: the clever use of lighting, the dynamic portraiture, that fly-on-the-wall feeling that everyone says they want but few can actually capture. She's the complete package: A photographer who captured our wedding's best moments, in the most unobtrusive way and a wonderful human being who shared freely in the joy and enthusiasm of our day, and adding to it. In this day and age, couples think hard about the role they want photography to play vis-as-vis all the mediums out there. Presented a choice like Amy they should double-down. We're certainly glad we did. I wish there were more stars.
Amy Gray is phenomenal! She made us completely comfortable, capturing our love and elation beautifully. Her enthusiasm is infectious and her photos exude her personality – colorfu...
l, unique, and genuine.
Our wedding was nontraditional – including murals, museums, giant Jenga, and a food festival in the streets of Washington, DC. Throughout our imaginative and sometimes indecisive planning process, Amy embraced and encouraged our creativity while making useful suggestions to help us finalize our photo locations and various details of our ceremony and reception.
Since we had a very small wedding, it was even more important for us to find the right photographer so that we could share our special day with our extended family and friends. Amy far exceeded our expectations. She captured the big events as well as the candid, intimate moments in between. Our smiles are huge and our happiness is palpable in every shot. She even made our dance moves look good!
More than anything, we appreciated Amy’s fast friendship and ability to connect with our families. By the end of the day, she felt like an old friend and a member of our wedding party. We highly recommend Amy Gray Photography to all couples who love to laugh and want their personalities to shine through authentically. Yay Amy Gray!
Amy Gray and her husband Ivan were absolutely amazing to work with and they brought a great vibe and energy to the wedding as well.
As an artist myself, it was very important to m...
e to have a unique photographer with a personal vision. I pored over about 300 portfolios from west coast photographers, narrowed it down to my top twenty based on style and artistic voice. I talked to and got quotes from all of them and Amy emerged clearly as the number one choice, based on her fun immersive style, fantastic personality and professionalism, and sheer “bang for your buck” with her husband as second shooter.
My wife and I had a Skype conversation with Amy to talk about what we were looking for in services and then later a dinner to get to know each other before the big day. At every stage, she was patient, positive and professional. She also has a bit of a goofy personality, which was great because we are very silly people. This turned out to be a crucial trait on the day, as Amy and Ivan easily kept everything light and fun despite some instances of family tension. They were basically the perfect wedding “guests” in addition to being great photogs.
During the event, Amy and Ivan were never obtrusive, captured every moment without interrupting and were also just plain fun to be around. We felt great about our decision to hire them.
Two months later we received our digital album of about 800 edited images from the wedding, including portraits, first looks, ceremony, reception. Wow. The results exceeded even our high expectations. Of course they fulfilled every special request we had made in our prior meetings, but above and beyond that they NAILED every great moment, even some we didn’t know about! From quiet emotional moments to boisterous partying to downright silly stupidity, these pictures transport the viewer into the room, feeling everything that the subjects feel. Every single photo looks like it belongs in a gallery. But best of all, they really feel like us.
I’m so glad we took the opportunity to work with Amy now, before she realizes that her rates should be double.
I could not have chosen a better photographer for our wedding. Not only did Amy Gray capture all the special moments, but she also really listened to me and my husband and made our...
priorities for pictures and the order of the day her own. She is truly a joy to work with and made everyone at our wedding feel comfortable! The pictures turned out so phenomenally that I have no words to describe them. Amy was hands down the best decision I made in the wedding planning process!
There are a thousand wonderful things I could say about Amy Gray, but the one I want to emphasize the most is that she always made me feel incredibly comfortable, both leading up t...
o our wedding and on the day itself! I was that groom who didn't typically spend a lot of time in front of cameras, but every time I interacted with Amy, my shoulders relaxed and I fell into my natural state of being with my fiancé. And here's something I didn't know before: you spend a lot of time with your photographer on the wedding day! Quite honestly, it was a absolute delight, and I was honored that Amy could be a witness to all of those precious moments and capture them so beautifully. Her work is impeccable in quality, and it represents exactly how we both felt on that day. Particular high marks to her candid shots, which I find to be the most rewarding to relive. Amy is also highly organized...she helped us quite a bit with our overall wedding day timeline; she always found time to meet with us from a distance (over video conference); and she clearly spent a lot of time editing, while still getting our package to us quite rapidly. Amy makes sure everything is just right, and I'm so glad she was a part of our wedding day!
I was beyond thrilled to have the ever talented Amy Gray photograph my wedding. She has an infectious personality and cares deeply about her work. Her eye for detail and compositio...
n is amazing and I am floored by the beauty and creativity of the pictures from the day. She is so quick to see family dynamics, understand a situation, and react accordingly and respectfully. I was nervous about photos; I was worried I would feel self-conscious and then not look like myself or look as happy I really felt! Amy made me feel so at ease! She is so easy to be around and brings such a fun and comfortable atmosphere to any situation. She quickly put my nervousness at ease. I have very light-sensitive eyes and so was also nervous about taking so many photographs outside. Amy was so pleasantly sensitive to this and made so many alternate options and arrangements for me. I felt so grateful and came away with such unique images. Not only is Amy an exceptional photographer, she is also an exceptional human being. She is such a cheerleader of love and it really shines through in her work. I was so happy working with her.
Amy Gray made my wedding. She was not only a photographer but a confidante throughout the process, and the photographs she took crystallized not only the most important moments in ...
our lives, but truly captured the joy of our friends and family and the essence of who they are!
Some backstory: My friend (herself an amazing wedding photog) moved out of the area two months before I started looking for photographers and sent me a list of people she loved and trusted. And it was clear from when I clicked on Amy's portfolio that she was the one for us. Her photos were so candid, so effortless - and so gorgeous! It was clear that she had an innate sense of composition - she didn't need a pose - she needed a moment.
She FaceTimed me on my way home from work and we had an instant connection. I felt so comfortable with her. We talked about my fiancé (who hates being posed) and my family (we were just overcoming some losses and I wanted portraits), we talked about our lives and our moves from city to city . I was completely disarmed by her. We hung up with a "love you".
I'll admit I am not the type of bride who "thought about this since I was a child". And she dealt with my disorganization by dropping me little notes with questions (so helpful).
The day-of I went downstairs, saw her, and we hugged each other like old friends. Upstairs we were all a mess, but she had a plan. While I was in a storm of hair and make up she was placing my accessories in an environment, using the space, capturing my bridal party being hilarious.
She caught the best of us as we were. When I got her photos back I was amazed. The husband who hates to be posed loves everything. My friends and family are grappling with what to print - they're all too wonderful. She caught all that I loved and a bunch I didn't see. She didn't know my family but she captured them. She's not just a photographer but a friend.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Amy and the photographs she took for both our Engagement Shoot and especially on the Wedding Day. I have received endless compliments from ...
family friends on how happy we look, and how much fun our wedding looked, and it is because the photos capture the joy that was palpable in the air that day. It was almost impossible for me to pick my 5 favorite photos, maybe if were to select my favorite 25 or 30 it would be easier. From getting ready portraits, to our couple portraits, to the family photos, the ceremony and the reception, each series embodies the best of the day.
I would like to especially commend the couple portraits. Amy showed up early and scouted the area around our wedding venue, this in turn, produced some of the most dazzling portraits that many of my friends and family had ever seen. She found the perfect tucked away alleys in Philadelphia to shoot some completely magical shots.
If you have the opportunity to have Amy shoot your wedding, take it. You will love her bubbly and creative personality and you will walk away with perfectly preserved memories of the happiest moments of your life.
Amy was a dream come true for our wedding! My father is a photographer so I was "picky" when deciding on a photographer. I browsed many websites and just wasn't wowed by what I ha...
d found. I was at my best friends house looking through her wedding album that had recently been made. I immediately fell in love with their beautiful photos. It was as if the photos were radiating the joy from their wedding day right into my soul. Every photo in their book made you feel as if you were back in the moment. I HAD to have this photographer. When I asked who photographed the wedding, my friends immediately raved about Amy Gray. After that I got in touch with Amy right away. She was incredibly accommodating, kind, fun, and professional. At that time she was based in Philadelphia and I was in southern Delaware. I was worried that distance might be an issue. However, Amy was so willing to make it work! She was always available via FaceTime and we were able to meet to discuss the wedding photographs quite a few times that way. Her energy and creativity is incredibly amazing. You can't help but be excited when speaking and working with her. It was so exciting to finally meet her in person the day of the wedding. Amy truly captured so many incredible moments throughout that very special day. Amy has an amazing way of making a bride feel completely at ease and so comfortable. She truly has everyones best interest at heart. Amy even stayed longer than we had booked her for because our cake cutting wound up happening later than planned. She was so kind about everything, generous with her time and excited to be a part of the day. I couldn't have asked to work with a better person. My photographer father was also so impressed with her quality of work. This put both my father and I at ease because he could truly sit back and enjoy the day with me because we both new that she had everything completely under control! Thank you, Amy!
My husband and I were luckily referred to Amy Gray through another photographer we had reached out to, but who was already booked for our wedding date. We could not have been happi...
er to work with her for both our engagement session and wedding!
When we first met Amy for our engagement shoot, we were immediately put at ease by her extremely friendly and outgoing personality. She worked quickly but made sure we were comfortable with any of her ideas, such as sitting on the grass. We received out photos very quickly and were extremely happy with them. We used photos from this session for our wedding website, for framed photos as gifts and at our wedding, and our wedding thank you cards (which we began sending before the wedding as gifts were received).
Leading up to the wedding, Amy was really helpful and responsive. We had no worries at all and completely trusted her to capture our special day. Amy and her second shooter were both easy-going, good-natured and so enthusiastic. During the wedding, we felt that they were prepared, patient and adaptable throughout the day.
About a month after our wedding, Amy provided a really well curated "favorites" gallery along with the full photo collection in an easy to share online gallery. We were completely blown away by the photos! There were countless beautiful shots and gorgeous portraits from the first look through to the last dance. Amy is so talented and creative, and these qualities are evident in her photos.
Through the whole process, Amy was so easy to work with, and we consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have found her. We are truly grateful to have had such a talented and kind wedding photographer- one who has a genuine joy and passion for her work.
Amy and her assisted Anni added so much joy to an already joyful day. They were happy and easygoing but attentive and professional, always open to requests or suggestions for speci...
fic shots. We ended up with such beautiful and creative wedding photos. There was a certain quality about our son's wedding that many people who attended the event remarked on. What was amazing to me was that several friends who were unable to be at the wedding, including a few that don't even know my son or his bride, remarked on that same quality, just looking at the photos that Amy and Anni took. They really captured the day on film so perfectly.

xtremely professional and knows how to capture those special moments. Amy makes magic happen. It's been almost five months since my wedding and I still look at the pictures. The photos are beautiful and I am so happy that we found her. Amy is worth every penny!

yle: an eye for capturing moments full of light and color that perfectly reflect the joy and love of a wedding day.
On the big day, we really appreciated her knack for scheduling and efficiency. She struck a perfect balance of keeping bridal party and family portraits moving while making them a fun, organic experience. We came into this with only a minimal idea of when to do what for pictures, and Amy helped us establish an order of events that got us smoothly to the ceremony and the reception. Speaking of the latter-- we've heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests about her reception photos.
The turnaround on the eight hours of shooting (i.e., hundreds of pictures) was also very prompt, and having full digital rights to the photos makes sharing and getting prints extremely easy. We ordered a few engagement shoot prints through her service, and the quality is exceptional, so we'll be circling back for more!
Everyone should hope for a wedding photographer that is as amazing as Amy. Not only were her photos of our wedding beautiful works of art, she managed to capture the whole sphere o...
f the day in a genuine, effortless, and fun-loving reflection of our wedding. This is mostly due to the fact that she herself is such a fun person to be around! She made the process of taking the photos so much fun, giving us just the right amount of direction while still letting us be ourselves in front of the camera. We wanted to get a lot of different shots in various locations, and so I especially loved how we moved quickly through the shots but it didn't feel at all rushed because Amy didn't seem worried about it! We truly are so happy with how beautiful and fun our wedding photos are and we will treasure them forever! Thank you SO much for sharing your gift with us, Amy!
We have just received the final images from the wedding and spent hours looking over them. Over and over, we are struck by the creativity Amy Gray brings to her work and the techni...
cal quality of her photographs. She captured the entire day, from the biggest moments to the small, intimate ones. We got glimpses of that day which we never would have seen otherwise. This is because Amy cares about what she is doing - she's got an eye for opportunity and a way of coaxing the best out of her subjects. You'll love her work and think she's fun, too. We highly recommend Amy Gray Photography.

yone. We had many special requests and Amy was flexible and willing to do everything we asked for. We had a HUGE wedding party (10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen), and Amy's patience throughout the whole event was outstanding. In addition, we totaled 200 guests and Amy and her partner captured great shots of everyone there. She provided great results at a very affordable price and we're SO happy we selected her.
Amy captured our special day with her artistic eye and creative energy. We had a general idea of some of the images we wanted, and her experience was evident as she gave suggestion...
s for portraits before and after the ceremony. She also was open to suggestions throughout the whole process. We had an intimate outdoor ceremony of 12 guests and she beautifully showed that. At our brunch following the ceremony she continued her great work in an unobtrusive way. At the beach reception she got some great images in low light (bonfire) settings, which are some of our favorites from the day. We feel blessed to have had Amy be a part of this!
I asked Amy to do a boudoir photo shoot for me while my fiancé was deployed. Like most women, I was anxious about being photographed in such an intimate setting. However, my anxiet...
y did not last.
Amy's energy and excitement at the shoot was infectious- she created a comfortable setting for laughter and, at the same time, a safe place to be vulnerable. She made sure she understood my vision before we met and was full of great ideas on the day of. Her genuine interest in my story melted any insecurities and allowed me to be myself. The results were absolutely stunning- the beauty she made me feel in front of her camera came through in the images she captured.
Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she is a beautiful soul who genuinely cares about the people and stories she captures on film. She is a great choice for any event!
Amy Gray was the photographer for my wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better person. Not only were the pictures artful, stunning and full of life, but so was Amy. I was amazed ...
by her cheerfulness and flexibility with what could have been a stressful time. She is warm, passionate, and dedicated, and it truly radiates through her work. The angles, lighting, and focus points made every photo so tangible and real. She was able to capture such beautiful moments of the day without us knowing she was there. So my husband and I were able to really be present for our wedding day. This is someone who sees beauty, sees you, and dedicates. Love her.
I was lucky enough to have Amy shoot our "save the date" as well as wedding day photos. She brought so much creativity and passion and made us feel so comfortable in front of the ...
camera. I absolutly love her style of the "catching the moment". Looking at her pictures makes me feel like I'm right there on my wedding day again- rather than just documenting the day she captures the essense of the day moment to moment. Only certain photographers know how to capture the relationships between people through candid photos -and Amy has it! My other favorite thing about Amy is her positive creative energy. Her passion for the photography made the photo-shoot such a fun part of the wedding process. I would recommend her to every bride!
Shooting with Amy was effortless; I immediately felt comfortable with her and felt like together we had created a special place for creativity to flow. The images from our shoot ar...
e beautiful and hold a sweet atmosphere that touches the viewer. I think one of the things Amy is incredibly talented at is capturing moods in her photography.
Amy will help capture precious moments from your day and become a fast friend of yours while in the process. Amy's charm not only can be seen in her photos, but can also be strongly felt by her presence.
Having my engagement photo shoot done by Amy Gray Photography was a wonderful experience in itself let alone the beautiful photos that were produced from it! Amy directed everythin...
g so smoothly, I was nervous about being in front of the camera but all that disappeared as I felt instantly relaxed in Amy's presence. It felt like she created a space where magic happened! Amy is so fun, creative, open and loving that my fiancé and I were able to completely enjoy ourselves. A few days after the photo shoot my fiancé and I had to say goodbye to each other to spend months apart waiting for our visa to process and I can't tell you how many times I have looked at the photographs Amy did for us and shared them with many others. The moments she captured are so tangible, I am filled with joy everytime I look at them! They are timeless in my heart. I freely and wholeheartedly can say I recommend Amy Gray Photography!
