Amy Rizzuto Photography

throw our wedding attire and hire a photographer. After searching for a few months, we hired Amy and it was the best decision we made. Amy captured the magic of our wedding in NYC and took unbelievable photos that made us feel like rock stars. Every photo was absolutely perfect. Seriously, not one photo was bad. Amy is a gem of a human being who will go above and beyond to capture your special day. Amy was a dream to work with it and we couldn't be happier. Thank you so much! J&J

eam into my wedding day so seamlessly and did not miss a single opportunity to capture a shot. Amy has such a kind, caring way about her - it truly felt like she was a friend I have known forever. With a full day of many logistics, Amy stayed up to speed and did not skip a beet. She is also so nimble, you could barely tell she was there. The photos are everything I could have dreamed of and more. They are right out of a magazine. I am so happy to have worked with Amy and grateful to be so in love with my photos. They will be cherished forever.

tion and concern we had, big or small. As a very indecisive couple, she had so much patience discussing where we wanted to take our portraits and made amazing suggestions. It was such a pleasure working with Amy and Mekina on the day of our wedding. They were accommodating, diligent, and I don't think I saw either of them without a smile on their face -- which REALLY made the experience that much more enjoyable. After seeing our finished photos, I cannot express how perfectly they captured our day. We are so grateful to have these memories to look back on. Thank you Amy! Thank you Mekina!

. That said, I researched A TON of photographers and spoke to a majority of them to find the right fit. While there are hundreds of talented photographers out there, none made me feel as valued and special as Amy did. Her patience, professionalism and positive energy set her apart from others. I never once felt like I was a bother with all of my questions. Her prices are more than fair for the level of product you receive. She is a master of her trade. SHE.DOESNT.STOP. until she gets the right angle, even if that means climbing on top of fountains or camouflaging in the grass. She makes photo-taking so effortless. I have to mention that her energy was my saving grace of the day. There was an issue with another vendor early on in my wedding day -- it made me super upset, but Amy was able to keep me cool, calm and collected. She exudes this peace about her that I can't quite put into words. She truly is one of the most positive human beings I have ever met. I have received a few sneak peeks so far from my wedding and am just blown away by how beautiful each picture is. She really does a fantastic job capturing every moment. I am forever grateful for her and her team. They even stayed later than expected -- making sure I got every photo I wanted from the night. Amy is truly a joy to work with and I am already looking forward to her capturing photos one day of our future family. Again - do not even think twice. Amy is worth every single penny. I can't imagine having had any other photographer on my wedding day.

y is one of the loveliest people you will ever meet - from my initial inquiry through the entire wedding process she was always super responsive, sweet and was genuinely excited about our special day. She made the entire process so easy, was always happy to answer any questions I had leading up to our wedding, and even recommended our videographer! We opted to do our engagement photos with her and we were absolutely blown away with the photos we got back, they were truly beautiful and shots we will treasure along with our wedding photos. We loved that she was happy to shoot the two of us along with our dog, and was amazing at getting his attention! On the day of the wedding Amy and her second shooter Nadine were amazing. They came in the color scheme of our wedding(!), and did a great job directing us, our wedding party and family to get all of our important first-look and formal shots in a timely manner before the wedding. We received countless compliments from friends and family who were amazed at how Amy was able to jump in to capture the important moments without ever blocking anyone. The first look shots we have received were beautiful - her talent for capturing beautiful, romantic photos with the perfect lighting is evident. With a wedding, many of the things you pour your time and money into are fleeting: the food, the band, even the venue only last a few hours, but it's your memory of the day that will last you a lifetime. Thank you Amy for capturing the moments that went into one of the most important days of our life. We will treasure them always!

g in January, she was available for my wedding on May 26 this year. THE PICTURES ARE WORTH SO MUCH I WILL LOOK AT THEM MY ENTIRE LIFE AND BE HAPPY. Amy brings so much joy to your life. IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO SPLURGE MONEY ON IT IS DEFINITELY YOUR WEDDING PICTURES! AMY MAKES EVERYTHING LOOK ELEGANT AND BEAUTIFUL!!! Make sure to book her in advance so you can relax and know you have the best photographer for your one special day :-)

she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Neither of us had ever taken professional pictures. Amy was very professional and friendly from start to finish. Our conversation and posing for photos flowed effortlessly as we walked through Central Park. She used her incredible eye and would stop us when the lighting or background was just right, making for a natural transition. In addition to her enjoyable company and her photography talent, her promptness in replying to emails and phone calls is unmatched! She even provided us with an entire gallery of around 50 photos as “sneak peaks” within 48 hours of our shoot! As soon as we opened the gallery we were in awe. After sharing a few photos with friends/family and on social media, the messages came pouring in asking who my photographer was. I still haven’t stopped looking at the pictures!! Choosing Amy was the best wedding planning decision we have made. We cannot wait for our wedding and feel so excited, comfortable and lucky knowing Amy will be capturing it.

ended up choosing Amy Rizzuto Photography and would highly recommend her to any couple!!

h wedding at the Central Park Boathouse. She helped us plan a timeline for our day and spoke with us at length about what we envisioned. She was genuinely excited for our wedding and was such a calm, warm presence when the day finally arrived. Her second shooter Jess and assistant Paige were also so amazing to spend the day with. Amy not only had such a clear vision for her shots, but she did anything and everything to get them, including standing on the ledge of our 21st floor suite and climbing into any bush necessary to adequately position herself. When we walked into a insanely crowded Central Park with a very large bridal party and two large families, we didn’t know how our photoshoot would go. Amy knew exactly how to manage everything and was so unbelievably efficient at capturing all the photos we wanted. She was equally as wonderful during our ceremony and reception. As if that wasn’t already enough…. Our wedding ended at 1:30 am, we woke up at 5:30 to find a sneak peek of over 70 gorgeous photos already in my inbox!!! Truly the best. Thank you Amy!

and broad experience. The day of the wedding, we were so comfortable with Amy and her assistant Katie that they felt like friends, but they were absolutely professional and captured absolutely every moment we wanted and so much more. We chose to not do an engagement shoot and my husband and I have never been professionally photographed for anything more extensive than a headshot. Amy had enough experience for all of us and made us feel so comfortable that we look natural, but also like the best versions of ourselves. We took photos in Central Park on a busy August Saturday. When we walked up to Bethesda Fountain, I wondered how we’d have room to elbow in. Somehow Amy respectfully cleared enough space and in the photos it looks like we have the park to ourselves. She got every photo we wanted (and of course so many more) and captured some really jaw-dropping moments during the ceremony and reception. Amy was SO wonderful to work with from start to finish and we absolutely LOVE all of our photos!

y photographer. The tones and feel you get when you view her photos is unexplainable. As soon as I reached out to Amy she got right back to me and was very informative. She was extremely professional and we scheduled a phone call so that we could get to know each other and what I was looking her. She not only was so professional but the sweetest person. I remember getting off the phone and calling my fiancé right after our phone call and telling him I did not even want to look at any other photographers. Fast forward to the wedding day, Amy was literally the best. My husband and I picked the hottest day of the summer to get married which was 101 degrees. Amy did not let that affect her and continued to encourage us to take pictures despite the heat. Her spirits were so high the whole time. Our whole bridal party complimented us after the wedding on how much they loved her and how easy she was to work with. Our wedding photos came out stunning and I couldn't have been happier with everything she did for us. I definitely recommend her 100%.

is exactly the same way in person! She is one of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve ever met - and it was exactly the kind of energy that I was so happy to have by my side on my wedding day! She initially photographed our engagement session about a year before our wedding day and the pictures were more beautiful than we could’ve ever imagined. Amy was so great about directing us and made us feel as comfortable as possible in front of the camera. And then on our wedding day, our families and bridal party loved Amy as well, which made all of the wedding day picture taking even more enjoyable! Ultimately, Amy captured all of the emotion on our wedding day so perfectly and she was a pleasure to work with. Our pictures are SO full of joy and love, and we will treasure them forever. We’re beyond thankful for Amy and her team!!

grapher was the right choice. Our wedding was at a venue Amy had not been to before, and she was so kind to take a trip up before the big day for a walk-through! On our wedding day, Amy really made sure my (now) husband and I enjoyed every moment and had fun taking all of our photos! Thank you so much for everything, Amy!!!

ve and bubbly all day. She captured all the details and all the family photos we asked for (there were a lot). Our final edited photos were delivered in a timely fashion and were just beautiful. They will be a perfect remembrance of the day. Thank you so much, Amy and team. You were a delight to work with and we thank you so much for all your hard work.

ey were so amazing, I cannot wait for the rest! Amy, Clarissa, and Katie were all so sweet, easy going and helpful. They were a great team and I truly enjoyed being with them through the whole day. Besides being very nice, they let me know when to take an important shot, when the right time was or the best lighting, etc. This is a great quality, because you get so caught up in talking to people and celebrating, that it was nice to have Amy remind you of a good picture to take or that your grandparents were all in one area so we should take the grandparent photo now. It really meant a lot that she thought of those things and would quietly pull me aside to tell me. Amy had me look up a few pictures that I liked before the wedding and she also took the same exact pictures for me. Overall the ladies were fabulous and I definitely recommend them. Pictures truly are the BEST and most precious keepsakes from the wedding!!!! Thank you Amy!!

was infectious and she kept everyone feeling positive and excited, despite chilly temperatures as we were taking outside photos with our families and bridal parties. Even members of our family who typically are not comfortable with getting their photos taken remarked on how comfortable Amy made them feel with her direction and how easy the whole process was. Amy truly cares about her couples and goes above and beyond to make sure that she captures all of the people and moments that are most important and special on your wedding day. She and her second shooter Carroll were so attentive and patient and helped everyone feel calm and confident. They guided us through the entire day, made us smile and laugh all while capturing the most beautiful images that we will cherish forever. They also worked seamlessly with our vendor team and helped so much throughout the day, even when the task was outside of the typical job description of the photography team. Amy is one of the first vendors that I booked once we started planning our wedding and researched photographers; I immediately loved her energy and knew she was the right fit to capture our wedding day. You will be blown away if you make the decision to work with Amy!

credible photographer and one of the kindest, warmest, hardworking people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She genuinely cares about you, your love story, and all of your hopes and dreams for your wedding day. I was fully confident that my wedding would be captured exactly as I had always imagined with Amy as my photographer! Amy is so professional and goes above and beyond in every way. Our wedding day was extraordinarily hot and humid (close to 100 degrees!) and our very large wedding party was quite miserable taking portraits outside in the heat. Amy was amazing at kindly directing everyone and keeping a positive attitude. At one point, she even took off her shoes to step into a swampy pool in order to get the perfect shot for us!! Her dedication to make our day perfect was so apparent. I did not realize how important it would be to have a photographer with her kind of energy - they are literally with you every second of your big day - and I am SO thankful that Amy was that person for me. In addition, Amy provided us with a sneak peak gallery only a day after our wedding, and the sneak peak had a ton of (gorgeous!) pictures. Her photos captured the day with so much emotion and joy. I cannot recommend Amy enough - you will not regret bringing her on to your wedding team!

e day with professionalism, enthusiasm and kindness. She was so fully present and helped wrangle our large wedding party, capturing with ease moments we will treasure forever. It poured on our wedding day, but that did not phase her. Amy created some of the most magical images we never could have dreamed up. Because of her, we will always remember our wedding day, as a rainy fairytale. Her talent and eye are impeccable, and her spirit made her a joy to work with. I highly recommended Amy. She was a joy to work with and beyond amazing!!! I’m so happy she was part of our wedding day!

hat is in sync with the bride and groom on their special day! Her calm, positive and unobtrusive presence enhanced the day. Amy’s professional manner and experience kept the timeline, wrangled our huge bridal party the entire day (especially in the rain!), moved seamlessly amongst our guests, and made everyone feel special. I have not even mentioned Amy’s incredible talent and artistic eye. The images she captured and created are breathtaking, tender and supremely happy. Also, Amy’s joyous spirit to embrace the weather conditions translated to the entire group. The stunning photos were enhanced by the rain. The rain emptied the park of the vast majority of tourists; I've never seen Bethesda or Bow Bridge empty before!! Thank you Amy for beautifully working with us to create such perfect memories! Kindred spirits! We are grateful. What a joy to have had Amy as a part of my daughter’s day! The photographs are stunning!!!!! I highly recommend Amy! I feel so thankful she was a part of the wedding and captured the memories for a lifetime!

t, our wedding day was a bit hectic as I had a couple anxious moments taking it all in that held us up during the day. Amy and her team were not only SO incredibly patient and sweet, but so helpful and supportive through my uneasy nerves, showing that she’s way more than just a “photographer” but such a kind and caring person. Her and her team went above and beyond in making sure I felt comfortable and we still managed to capture a ton of moments with less time than planned. There’s no doubt that Amy is so insanely talented, but she’s so much more! Would recommend her to anyone - worth every penny!!

uests that we made (no matter how outrageous). Amy was open to suggestions, but also came with a vision of her own: She was able to merge the two into what has become a beautiful set of photographs from our wedding day. Amy's photographs are more than snapshots of our day: They tell our story. Through Amy's photographs we relive the mood and the feel, the celebration and the silence, and the laughter and the tears of the day. One of the things we appreciated most about working with Amy was the fact that, on our wedding day, she asked us how we were feeling and what our favorite moments were, showing us that she was not only there to take photographs, but that she truly cared. I would highly recommend Amy Rizzuto Photography to anyone considering a photographer for their next event.

or us to have captured for our special day. She made sure to go over all the details that we thought were important. As if that was not enough she is the MOST understanding and responsive vendor you could ever hope for. Every time we scheduled out engagement photos it rained we rescheduled several times, and Amy was always very adaptable to our schedules. The day of our wedding Amy was super easy going and had the calmest demeanor, which I sooo appreciated with all that was going on that day. She took everything that our Latin families threw her way in stride which kept us at ease as well. Amy even helped with the boutonnieres and drove some guests that were going to Uber to the wedding (wayyyy above the call of duty). AND THE PHOTOS !!!!!!!! Amy sent us a “sneak peek” the next day (yesss the next day!!!) and there was not one image that was not gloriously romantic and natural and just GORGEOUS!!! I knew we made a good decision getting Amy for our special day but we got so much more that we ever hoped for!!! I would highly recommend Amy as your photographer as she will do the same for you!!!!

and on track! Amy is also extremely organized and will send you an online questionnaire a few weeks before your wedding to ensure she is capturing important information regarding the day of and ensuring you are super involved in the type of photos you want her to take. I got married on December 1st and just received a thoughtful holiday gift in the mail from her - it was a calendar with pictures of me and my husband from the wedding on each month :). If I could give her 10 stars I would!

decision also the easiest decision We are so in love with how our wedding photos turned out. Amy’s signature style - bright, happy and romantic came across in all of our photos and captured our style and wedding day perfectly. Beyond being such a talented photographer - Amy was generous with her time, enthusiastic every step of the way, and her professionalism is what made her such a dream to work with. She was by our side for the biggest moments (first look, ceremony, and even joined us for our grand boat entrance) but also captured the in-between moments. As we looked through the candid shots and these smaller moments, it brought us back to our perfect day in September. We are beyond grateful that Amy was there to capture our most important day - we never worried about a thing and she never skipped a beat. Its hard to articulate how lucky we feel to have had such a talented and lovely photographer capture the most important day of our lives.

ed for us. There was no pressure at all, she just wanted to talk and get to know us! We included our dog in our engagement shoot and she was so good with her! From crinkling leaves and giving her treats, to holding onto her at times when she wanted to get shots of just the two of us, she did it all with ease and we got photos that we never thought we would be able to get in a million years! Not to mention, it was so much fun! Nothing feels forced with she is photographing you, she has a way of gently guiding you without making you feel uncomfortable at all. She has an eye for great locations and lighting that make everything look so dreamy - so trust her if she is recommending something that you didn't originally have in mind! She knows what she's doing. :) When Amy arrived the morning of our wedding with Nadine (who we loved as well!), my family and friends all thought that she was one of my friends, not the photographer! And that is honestly the way we felt with Amy from day on, so it definitely showed! She is not just a photographer that you hired, she is your friend and she is a part of your wedding! She has such a calming energy that instantly puts you and everyone around her at ease - and that is reflected in the photos she takes. She captures the true emotions in the moment and she will go to great lengths to get the perfect shot! (hopping fences, balancing on the edge of an island where we thought she was going to fall in the water, sprinting around a building to find an entrance that was open to make sure we got a shot that we wanted etc.) And the results will take your breath away. She makes you feel like your wedding is the most beautiful and perfect wedding she has ever seen. All you have to do is tell Amy what you want and she will make sure that she gets it, not to mention, she will keep you on track and on schedule. We left for our Honeymoon two days after our wedding and she made sure that she sent us a ton of sneak peak photos before we left - it was the best gift of all and we loved every one of them! She is not just an amazing photographer, she is truly one of a kind. For a moment in your life that you will want to remember forever, Amy is hands down, the best in the business. Booking with her was one of the best decisions we made and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking!

s intimate moments in the most beautiful soft light... she made me, a person who doesn't feel like they look good in photos, feel gorgeous. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she is caring, easy going, humble, and above all else, kind. She will make you feel completely at ease and calm on your big day and she truly wants for her couples to be happy and satisfied with the photos she's taking. I am forever grateful that my husband and I were lucky enough to have a true artist capture one of the biggest days of our lives. BOOK HER. BOOK HER NOW!

ght books of her photography (though we had already stalked her work online!) and plenty of questions for us. She is the type of person that wants to get to know you and your soon-to-be spouse so she can incorporate all the little details into her work. After meeting her, we immediately sent her our deposit for her ‘Elegant Package’. Prior to the wedding, Amy took our engagement photos outdoors in November. It was freezing, and she maintained her positive attitude and actually kept us going! We loved working with her then and our wedding was no different. She showed up to our wedding early and was ready to begin the day. She had an assistant with the groom, and Amy was with me. She took photos of all the little details of the day, which was great since we felt like we missed a lot of them in the craziness of hosting a wedding. Amy (and her assistant) helped carry my bouquet at times, fixed my dress/veil, got into the thick of Central Park woods, stood up on stools/benches, hopped fences, coordinated a large bridal party, projected her voice to get everyone’s attention, directed tourists in front of major NYC landmarks (no easy feat!), etc. – all to get the perfect shot! We also got her photo booth package, which our guests loved using while they were waiting for drinks at the bar. The photo booth photos were posted online less than a day later and were such a great preview to the actual wedding photos (and provided a great laugh/reminder of what an amazing day it was!). Less than 48 hours after the wedding, Amy supplied us with sneak peaks of our images that we instantly shared on social media. Every single image grasped the emotion and excitement of the day. In fact, one of my co-workers said she felt like she was there after reading her blog post! Amy is truly an amazing, capable, talented person with an incredible eye for all things wedding related and I would highly recommend hiring her for your wedding! Amy was more than a photographer to us; she actually became a friend! She is, without a doubt, the best money you will spend on your wedding! Thank you Amy!!

s so I did not actually meet Amy until she showed up to my house while I was getting ready with my bridesmaids. I felt immediately at ease as Amy was warm and friendly but also took control of the day without being intrusive. We had a large wedding with 240 guests and a large bridal party as well. Amy and her second shooter handled all of this seamlessly. Numerous people in my family and my husband's family commented on how professional Amy was. She also clearly has a passion for her work and ran around all day finding the best shots. Amy was also great to work with leading up to the big day. She helped me finalize our schedule/timing and was always very responsive. She is very organized and had a thorough survey for us to fill out before the wedding to make sure she captured every shot. Picking a great wedding photographer like Amy truly made a huge difference in our wedding day. You spend the most time with the photographer so it was great to have someone like Amy who kept us at ease while still getting amazing pictures. On top of being wonderful to work with, Amy's pictures are beautiful. Amy shared a few sneak peaks immediately after the wedding and then got us a preview of 50 photos within a week of our wedding date which was such a great treat! I can't wait to get the rest of the pictures back and cannot recommend Amy enough.

eople who needed to be included in different shots. Amy has a wonderful way of getting people organized for photos. She is soft-spoken yet everyone listened to her, she never got irritated or annoyed while trying to corral each group. I can't begin to imagine how many shots she took, there were so many. The preliminary pictures are beautiful and we can't wait to the rest. I recommend her to anyone looking for a terrific photographer!

ng photography. Not only are her photos breathtaking, she is an absolute joy to be around. Her smile is so contagious! At our engagement session we quickly felt at ease in front of the camera thanks to Amy. She made us feel like we were just hanging out in the city and it was awesome just getting to spend time together and get to know each other better! Amy has the warmest heart and her passion for what she does is beyond inspiring. On our wedding day we were running a bit behind schedule, but Amy was able to work efficiently and made sure we got all the shots we could want, and more. She's incredible! We have been so blown away by the moments she captured on our special day. All of our friends and family have not stopped talking about how amazing she is and how much they loved getting to be around her. Her kindness, professionalism and unbelievable effort is worth far more than five stars! Amy is a dream wedding photographer and there just aren't enough kind words I could say about her!

our photos back, they weren't just photos. They told an amazing story of one of the most important day of our lives! The pictures were creative, they captured all of the important moments, and really showed the raw emotion of the day. Thank you Amy for memorializing our wedding day in the most perfect way! I can't tell you how many people have told us how amazing of a photographer we had, and I couldn't agree more. I would recommend Amy over and over again!

s the first wedding vendor we hired, and we are so happy that we did. Besides having an eye for capturing romantic and special moments, Amy has a true talent for making people feel comfortable and relaxed .Together this results in natural, authentic, and beautiful pictures! We are truly blown away by how amazing our engagement and wedding photos came out . Additionally, Amy shows a true interest and enthusiasm for the couples she works with. She takes the time to get to know you and your story as a couple. By the time the wedding comes, she feels like an old friend. My family and bridal party are still raving about her professionalism and demeanor on the day of the wedding. Hiring Amy was the best decision. Her talent is worth every penny!!

enuinely wanted to get to know us and asked us a lot of questions so she could take the types of photos we wanted and where we wanted it. She was also very responsive whenever we had questions and provided us with great advice and recommendations on how to prepare for our engagement and wedding photo shoots, time line of our big day, etc. We loved how she had a wedding worksheet for us to fill out a few weeks before the wedding that included timing of the day, locations of taking photos, who would be needed for what photos, etc. It definitely kept us organized leading up to the day and most importantly through out the entire day. Amy was a significant part in our wedding and we couldn't have done it with out her. Also, I can't forget to mention how AMAZING our engagement photos came out. Additionally Rosemary, Amy's second photographer was also great to work with. She was very professional and was there to help us with any photos that we wanted on our wedding day. We saw a sneak peak of our wedding photos and we can not wait to see the rest!!!!

y photographer for my wedding, her photos were so beautiful right out of a magazine. When it came time for our engagement pictures she was so easy going and my husband and I felt so comfortable. She is so organized and professional throughout the whole process. She answered all of my emails quickly whether it was about photography or a timeline. Our engagement photos came out amazing! I loved every one of them and didn't worry about my wedding photos! My whole family and bridal party loved working with her! She knows how to capture each moment and where the best lighting is. The day of my wedding, my bustle broke, I immediately knew I could ask Amy for help, she sewed my dress right up without any hesitation. I was late getting ready and she kept things moving quickly so I could get all the pictures I wanted. If I could give her more stars I would! She is simply amazing as a photographer and person and I am so happy I found her on my search. My husband and I are extremely happy with our wedding photos and could not have imagined anyone else. Amy gave us so many photos only two days after our wedding. She is so quick and efficient. Choosing Amy was the best decision we made! I would recommend Amy to anyone!!

everything look beautiful . Her pictures look like something out of a dream. Not only is Amy amazingly talented, but she is friendly and happy and is great at making everyone comfortable. I am so lucky that I had her by my side all day long. If I could give anyone getting married one piece of advice, it would be to use Amy and her team for your wedding. You won't regret it.

ding day, we couldn’t ask for anyone better. Not only is Amy very skillful, her personality and easy-going mentality made everything flow smoothly on our special day. She is always upfront and honest, and was easy to communicate with leading up to our wedding, even with our craziness and indecisiveness. Her sweet and kind demeanor put both me and my husband’s thoughts and feelings at ease. Her familiarity with our wedding venue and engagement photo locations made everything better. The quality and quantity of her photographs are unbelievable to the point where my husband and I can relive in that moment of each and every picture. Our wedding was very successful, and couldn’t have done it without Amy. This statement is supported by the fact that two couples from our wedding have already booked her for their respective weddings!

p of the process, Amy made everything simple for us. Each time we look through our photos, we're amazed. Amy captured every moment perfectly. There are so many photographs filled with love, warmth, romance and most importantly, happiness. My husband and I are excited to put up our wedding photos around our future home. We're excited to one day go through our album with our children. And all those little, happy moments that we're excited for are possible because we chose Amy Rizzuto.

well after midnight! She is the sweetest, most hard working, most talented person I have come across and we are beyond happy with our photos from our big day. You cannot go wrong with Amy, she will truly make your day spectacular and provide you with photos you'll be GUSHING over for years to come!

iastic, personable, accommodating, and highly professional when it comes to conducting her business. I was nothing but pleased with my experience working with her.

!!!!

red this sweet and professional woman who is a hopeless romantic. Not only that, but she makes you feel as though you are not only a client but a close, personal friend. This close connection and the raw talent that is evident in every single photo she will take of you will make you feel as though you are a feature in a bridal magazine. She will capture the emotions as they happen so that you can relive the happiest day of your life for years to come. Aside from the great work that Amy produces, she is also a pleasure to work with. She was super helpful to me during the planning process. She has a ton of resources on her website, including numerous wedding and engagement shoots which feature a variety of different themes and colors to help plan your wedding day. We purchased the package which included both an engagement shoot and wedding day shoot. On both occasions, Amy went above and beyond to capture the perfect pictures. She stood on tables, crawled into the bushes, literally anything she needed to do to get the shot. The result is simply breathtaking. On our wedding day, Amy and her second shooter Kristy were a calming presence for everyone. They were both amazing with my 2 year old flower girl and 3/4 year old ring bearers. Kristy spent a lot of time helping to make them smile for photos and keep them occupied when their parents were taking pictures. At the end of the night, Amy and Kristy said goodbye to us and then stayed for an extra hour taking shots of the dance floor and guests because they were so wrapped up in their craft and having such a good time. Stop looking now and book Amy while you can, it will be the best decision you make (after marrying that wonderful soul mate, of course).

ke all the way until I received my complete collection, it has remained clear that she takes pride in her work and is devoted to her clients satisfaction. Every person who saw my photos could not believe how beautiful they were and I am so proud to show them! You will not be disappointed with Amy Rizzuto Photography, I cannot stress that enough!

o look at the venue and find a way to flawlessly blend your bridal party into its surroundings. (No cheesy wedding pics here!) This paired with her quiet control of every situation will guarantee the most amazing pictures. For example: when Amy saw how gorgeous the sunset was after dinner, she grabbed my husband and I for more pictures without drawing any attention to our absence. They were above and beyond our favorite photographs from the day. She is kind, talented, and loves what she does. You couldn't find a better photographer for one of the most important days of your life. Thank you Amy!

a great energy about her, she is kind, bubbly, and understanding. She genuinely wants to make sure you get everything out of your wedding photos that you want. On the day of the wedding Amy brought her amazing personality and skill to the event. She was easy to work with and was able to take charge to make sure that we got all the shots that we needed. One week after the wedding Amy posted a blog post with about 40 or 50 images from my wedding. The photos are all beautiful! Her work really speaks for itself. The images are warm and romantic and really capture the day. She was able to get every single picture I wanted. I had stressed to Amy how important our dog is to us (who was in the wedding) and how much I wanted to get some photos of him, Amy listened and we have so many gorgeous photos of our dog. Now, 2 months later I have all of the photos from the wedding and I can't stop looking at them. Every time I open up the online gallery I am able to relive the day a little bit. Hiring Amy was a great decision, I really recommend her, you won't regret it!

plan. She is an effective communicator and doesn't leave you wondering- she is on top of it! The day of the wedding her and Ash did an amazing job. They didn't miss a single detail of the day and went out of their way to make sure everyone was happy. It seemed like Amy had learned who all of the important family members were and what to do to make sure everything went smoothly. She is positive and upbeat and the perfect person to capture our wedding day. We love our pictures so much!

my fellow Jersey shore girls that Amy is super nice, ya know, like the "not from Jersey type of nice". ;-) She will make sure you get every shot you want (from Pinterest haha) and do whatever it takes to get the shot! She literally got into the fountain! My husband told me he knew she was the best fit for us when she did that! We've only seen our sneak peek and the blog (Chelsey & Rich 6/17 if you want to look on amyrizzutoblog.com) We are hooked with anticipation to see the rest of our pictures! Without a doubt photography is one of the most important investments for your wedding... Go for Amy!

more excited! From the start Amy was wonderful to work with and made us both feel incredibly comfortable in front of a camera. She truly is a total sweetheart! Our pictures came out incredible, not only because I'm partial to the subject matter, but the lighting and the emotion she is able to capture is truly awe-inspiring. Thank you Amy for all of your hard work! We love our engagement and wedding photos and I would recommend you to anyone!!

stions and really worked hard to get to know us and our story. Not only is she a great photographer, but she is the sweetest person who made every effort to get the best shots for us. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!!

d every person involved in our wedding gave her rave reviews. Her photos are stunning- once we received our preview I couldn't help but to look through them again and again. I know that they will last a lifetime and let us relieve all the special moments of our wedding day!

across Amy Ruzzuto; Her pictures had this thing about them that made it almost seem magical. It immediately caught our eye and we knew this was the person who we wanted to capture these once in a lifetime moments. So we called and met Amy in a small coffee shop near times square. What an amazing night! Amy actually brought us cookies, macaroons and a portfolio to look at. The cookies were delicious! We just sat and talked and soon we began to realize, she must be the sweetest, caring person on the planet! She really made an effort to get to know us and develop a friendship. Fast forward to our engagement photos. What a day! Amy will stop at nothing to get the perfect shot. Lets just say "Danger" is her middle name. She was willing to climb, crawl or leap on any object to get the perfect shot. On Saturday, May 7th, 2016, we got married and Amy was there to photograph the day from beginning to end. Never without a smile, she is the most remarkable, talented and sweetest person you will ever meet. Everyone at our wedding quickly made friends with her and talk about what a sweetheart she is. We just received our pictures and we are just speechless. They are absolutely beautiful. We shared some with friends and they quickly made those their profile pictures and lets just say they are feeling like celebrities. Thank you Amy! We love you! Lauren and Jonathan Olmo

d, patient and beyond talented. Before the wedding, we touched base several times and Amy walked me through everything I needed to think about in terms of photography for the day of. This was very important and I was able to get all of the shots I wanted because she prepared me so well. Her demeanor is incredibly easy to work with. The day of, Amy arrived early with her 2 assistants, was so calming to have around and most importantly, captured every special moment! I would recommend Amy to anyone - near or far!!!

many great suggestions about locations and ideas and looks. On my wedding day, when I was running late she called down to the concierge and got a steamer to help my MOH steam my wedding dress while I was getting my hair done. Who does that?? Amy is so great and really goes above and beyond! Before the ceremony we took our photos in Central Park and they are spectacular! Amy knew just where to go to get the perfect shot and gave great suggestions throughout the day. During the ceremony, I had no idea she was there, and she got such great photos. She knows exactly how to capture incredible moments without being at all intrusive or having photos look too staged. Amy is not only an amazing photographer, she is someone who you will want to have at your big day to help you celebrate and you will cherish the photos forever!

grapher for any event, and all of my girlfriends are already planning to use her for theirs!

ork stood out to me as being clean, organic, and super romantic. Amy has the magical talent to make any picture look like a fairy tale (but a real life one!). From our first meeting, we knew that Amy was a genuine and sweet person that cared about her work and her contribution to making a bride and groom's days go as smooth as possible. I loved her red folder she gave us with all her red coordinating pieces in the folder. I could tell right away it coordinated back to her website and her business card. She loves details. I LOVE DETAILS. That's what sealed the deal! Amy captured our Engagement shoot and a couple days before, I asked her if we could change the shoot to the following day since it was supposed to rain, and she was very flexible. She knew that we wanted to capture a certain sunlight in the early morning to get amazing photos on the Brooklyn Bridge and I appreciated so much that she worked with us. Everyone obsessed over our engagement pictures and said "if this is what your engagement photos look like, we cant imagine what the wedding photos are going to look like!". She is just pure, raw talent and captures perfect feelings and images to convey love for each other. Amy is great with following up and delivers your pictures timely. She just is a very genuine person and you can't help but love her. Weeks before the wedding we touched base, to discuss wedding shots, etc and even when over a back up plan in case of rain. On the day of, Amy was incredible. She is so patient and sweet. She'll zip in and out of people and climb on things, to get unique shots. They say that your wedding day is never supposed to go as expected and our wedding really took us for a rollercoaster. Even with the hiccups and getting to our reception late, Amy and her assistant were really good about staying till the cake cutting to capture our important moments. I am so grateful for that and it's truly because of her passion. The thing I love most about Amy is that it's not just a business contract that she upholds, it's a relationship and a friendship. A couple days after the wedding we received our preview of wedding photos which is set up as our own page, with a song that coordinates to your day and people have the ability to view it. It was incredible. I loved every picture and cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures in 10 weeks time. Photography is one of the most important decisions to make to keep the memories alive for years to come. I wanted to make sure to capture everything from the smallest detail to the largest detail. Amy's work makes the day come alive each time we look at them. Best Decision!!!

not able to do it ourselves. I got so many compliments on how nice she was throughout the day and the days following.

ing in, helping out with details and questions about the timeline, attentive to our personalities, etc she definitely captured us perfectly on our wedding day. We enjoy looking at all the fabulous photos all the time and reliving each special moment from our favorite day! Thank you thank you, Amy!

ig day. We knew we HAD to hire her! We had our engagement shoot shortly after initially meeting with Amy and she made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. My husband and I felt like we were spending time with an old friend. Throughout the entire planning process Amy was our favorite, and most reliable of our vendors. Her positive spirit, responsiveness, and flexibility made me feel like we were her only couple. I could not wait to see the magic that she would create on our wedding day! When our day finally arrived, Amy (9 months pregnant at the time) and her team surpassed all expectations. She was bursting with energy, had researched our venue for good photo locations, and captured every moment of our ceremony and reception. By the end of the night, Amy had put together a slideshow to be viewed by guests as they left. I'm not sure how she was able to accomplish so much in one night but I'm so thankful that she did. Amy is truly an artist with a passion for photography, and more importantly, for capturing love and memories. She is the BEST!

was even engaged. I always kept her name for when I got engaged and reached out right away. We met for coffee and I knew immediately she was the one for us. Amy was asking about our love story and really wanted to know us as a couple and our journey to our wedding day which I loved. What truly makes Amy so special is how passionate she is about photography. when my husband and I did our engagement photos it was the first time we were having them professionally done. She was so patient and made the experience so memorable. Amy paid such amazing attention to detail from the right pose, lighting, etc. My sister and nephew had come along to help hold our dog Ralphie when he wasn't in pictures and I loved that she had us take some photos with them as well. To this day they are some of my favorites. Moving to our wedding day, Amy and her team were right on time and just always made us feel comfortable. From getting ready in the hotel, to the church, beach photos and reception Amy was incredible especially being that she was 8 months pregnant! At the reception my husband and I were given a sneak peak at some of our photos from the day and I couldn't help but start crying. Amy and her team made our day so special by capturing each moment as it happened. With a lot of my friends getting engaged I am so eager to offer Amy's name as someone they should look into. Aside from her incredible talent, she is a beautiful person inside and out. She made us feel so comfortable during our year and a half engagement and I cannot thank her and her team enough. Each photo is more beautiful than the next and I know we will treasure them for all our years to come!

hoot and she was just such a calming force on a hectic wedding day. Amy has such a great eye and finds the most beautiful places to take pictures. She is also incredibly prompt in returning your e-mails and at getting your photos to you and I loved seeing previews of everything. She was helpful in every way possible. You will be INCREDIBLY happy by choosing Amy to be your photographer.

venue, I was just so awestruck at how gorgeous they all were. My eye just gravitates towards her work - the soft light, smoothness of tone and her ability to capture expressions is second to none. I don't know how she does it but she makes every single person in every photo look photogenic. She is a true artist and very talented at what she does! Not only is she an incredible photographer who will undoubtedly deliver gorgeous photos that you will treasure for a lifetime, but she is just as nice as she is talented. She was a pleasure to work with and know she is going to be extremely successful in the future!

needed with planning. On the day of our wedding, her and her team were amazing. All of our family and friends raved about how sweet they were and how fun they made the day for us. We just received our pictures back and I am ecstatic with how they turned out. Narrowing them done for our album will be a very difficult task. I recommended Amy Rizzuto Photography to everyone. You will not be disappointed.

my wedding Amy and Mekina were with me every step of the way. They captured the moments that meant the most to me on the day I married my best friend. On my wedding day I felt like these two were my friends! They never once made me feel awkward, nor did they overwhelm me with flashes. They took pictures of myself and my husband, and even beautiful moments between my family and friends. To top it all off Amy went above and beyond and sent me special pictures I had wanted to use for Christmas presents. She also happened to capture the most beautiful moment between my husband and his grandmother who passed away a month after our wedding. Those pictures brought us comfort and happiness in the weeks that followed. We can never truly express our gratitude. I can't rave enough about Amy. She has been so helpful and has gone above and beyond what I expected. Her style shows her raw talent. She captures moments as they are with an eye that is able to see the beauty and magic...even beyond what you see when you are in that moment. I am so thankful and grateful for both Amy and Mekina, as well as these beautiful pictures that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

ptured our special day beautifully. She had also done our engagement pictures a few months before and we were beyond thrilled with the pictures! From the initial correspondence, to the emails and phone calls with questions leading up to the wedding, and the day of, Amy was very helpful and prompt at answering any questions or concerns. She also took our ideas and wants of how we wanted our day to feel and captured them in all of our photographs. I would highly recommend Amy Rizzuto Photography. She is amazing to work with!

assures you that she's not only awesome, but totally confident and in control. Her photographs speak for themselves- absolutely beautiful. She is a joy to deal with throughout the planning process, super organized, full of useful information, and totally prepared for the craziness of your wedding day. She may be short, but boy is she scrappy! She makes sure, with calm and ease that she gets EVERY shot, in ANY way possible, that you told her you wanted (she knows, because she asks beforehand!). She's standing on chairs, scaling windowsills, and in the freezing cold without a jacket (we were married New Years Eve) with such an amazing positive attitude. She has the perfect formula for getting all the formal photos you need, and all the candid moments you crave. The assistants she chose (Meghan Crotty and Nicole Detone) were awesome, and the general vibe of the day is so easy and fun. Even the guys felt like they were just hanging out with a friend (Nicole) while getting ready. Our photo booth was a hit, and everyone had so much fun with Meghan. By the end of our wedding, Amy had set up a small slideshow on her laptop and I was blown away to see such beautiful images so soon! The photo booth pics were up the next day and the slideshow was up and ready to share the day after. What a treat! Now that we have received all the images 9 weeks later, we are amazed at all of the big and small moments that were captured. The format she uses for photo sharing is so easy to share with family and friends, and they are all going crazy over the shots! They are perfection and we could not be happier we chose Amy to not only capture our wedding, but to spend the day with us!! She is the best- HIRE HER!

fetime. Once we started talking with Amy, it was clear how passionate she is and how much she truly cares about her clients. Amy and Mekina brought that same positivity to our slightly rainy and gray wedding day, and we were still able to get amazing photographs outside. Everyone was so comfortable and had so much fun taking pictures, it felt as though Amy and Mekina were our long-time friends. Amy was able to capture the magic of our wedding day perfectly! Looking at the photographs instantly brings us back to that moment and we are forever grateful for Amy's beautiful work.

ional photographer, she is also a beautiful person inside and out and such a joy to be around. She comes prepared, and even reminded me of photos I wanted, in the craziness of the day. She is so incredibly patient and understands how to keep everyone calm on such a fast paced and exciting day. Amy would be an excellent choice for any wedding or special occasion! We are so happy with how our photos turned out and how out wedding day flowed, thank you so much Amy!

pher misses a moment, it is gone forever. There is no going back. After reading all of Amy’s reviews, we felt confident that she would produce! We did not have a chance to meet with Amy before we booked her so she was kind enough to set up a skype meeting! We first fell in love with Amy at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for our engagement shoot. Amy produced in a huge way, she managed to cut out all the people in the background of the Cherry Blossoms and make us shine and look more in LOVE than we already are. Once we saw the engagement pictures we could not wait until the day of the wedding to see even more beautiful images. We had a beautiful fall day with an outside vineyard in the Hudson Valley. Amy and Mekina were professional, attentive, and great at wrangling a tough group of guys together. We already knew that the photos were going to be amazing, but there was more. The very next day, as we had a huge BBQ for all the people from the wedding and those who couldn’t make it, we get an email with a slide show from Amy. It captured some pretty important moments of our day set to our first dance song which I did not think she could have remembered. It was so unexpected that it made my wife cry. It actually made me tear up as well, it was beautiful. Amy & Mekina were amazing, they were the bright shining stars of our event. Amy even had a slide show going during the wedding! They helped us in ways that we can not repay, and o yeah, the photos are amazing. Amy always answered emails with in the day and always made my wife feel special! When you are a vendor you are dealing with multiple brides, that some can get lost. Amy never made my wife blend in. She always made her feel special and unique. We loved having Amy by our side capturing the most special day of our lives! We hope we can work with her again!

hat is displayed on her blog. Amy is a truly talented artist, whose skill is surpassed only by her passion for her clients. Amy is warm, kind and truly interested in getting to know her clients. I knew from the minute we sat down with her at our first meeting that we had made the right choice. Amy and her team were simply incredible on the wedding day. About two weeks before our big day, we met with Amy to discuss the specific timeline of the day and the photographs we wanted. Without missing a beat, Amy remembered everything we discussed, took charge of the day and provided us with the most stunning photographs I have ever seen. A truly unique aspect of Amy's services is that she provides a "Wedding Day Slideshow" that goes up at the end of your reception showing some of her favorite shots from the day. One of my favorite memories from our wedding was a close friend of mine running up to me on the dance floor and exclaiming how gorgeous the photos were. The best part about Amy is how supportive she is . I could look to her at any moment and she would guide me to where I needed to be, making sure we got every shot we could in and making sure we were happy with how things were going. The emotional support we felt from her cannot be matched. Her and her team also managed to efficiently organize our extended families and friends for large group shots with a take charge attitude that truly impressed, and saved us precious time. Throughout our entire reception, and ever since our wedding day, countless guests have commented on how incredible our photographer was. Amy is a gem and a star on the rise. Booking her was the best decision my husband and I made planning our wedding, and we would do it again in a heartbeat!!

es for her couples, and goes all out to achieve this. She's exceptionally responsive, she listened to our love stories, saw our family pictures, so that she could know us better and be prepared to take photos that show who we are and how we interact. Secondly, Amy is super organized. She sent out kind reminders and confirmations before we took the shoot. And she planned the timing of shoot with room for unexpected delays, so that even if things like traffic jam or late hair appointment occurs, the couple would still have ample time to take photos during the golden hours. For our session, we selected an indoor space as our first shooting location, and central park as the second. Amy suggested we meet at 3. On the day of our photo shoot, a lot of delays did happen. Also, the day was overcast so the best light would be gone earlier than usual. But we managed to finish our indoor part and get out to Central Park before sunset! I remember Amy pointing at the sun and said excitingly to us, "look! that's the sun!" If it were not for Amy's smart choice of time, we would not have been able to get any outdoor photos. Thirdly, Amy has an uncompromising professional spirit. She went with us anywhere we'd like to and continued to take photos until it's completely dark. We ended up going far far beyond our purchased time limit, and were prepared to make extra payment for her additional time. However, she refused to increase her charge and repeatedly assured us that all she wanted was to make sure we got all we wanted! Fourthly, Amy is such a nice girl that is so pleasant to work with. The minute you meet her, you'll know how sweet a personality she's got. Her excellent communication skills and clear but non-intruding directions made us feel at ease, so we can act like ourselves. She helped us to forget about all the hustle, to immerse in our little photo shoot of love. I believe social skills as good as such is one of the reasons why she's always able to take wonderfully authentic pictures that burst with emotions and affections. Trust her, she simply knows how to make you look like your true self, at the pretties! Fifth, Amy has wonderful photograph skills. She has an eye for beautiful lighting and composition. Our first shooting location was new to her, but she quickly identified elements that she wants to use in the picture, and figured out how we should pose ourselves so as to accommodate to the varying lighting. She obviously knew her trade well very, and was very good at capturing the decisive moment. She produced clean pictures in a very busy setting, and light-filled dreamy photos in an indoor environment. Indeed, like her own motto stated, Amy is truly capable of creating astonishingly beautiful photos! Sixth, the entire experience was a lot fun! This may again relate to her personality and social skills. We had such a blast during the session! And the joy showed up everywhere in our pictures! Amy and her lens just magnify happiness! Last but not least, Amy delivered her work fast, and in a quantity that exceeded our imagination! She's such an overachiever! All in all, I would highly recommend Amy to my friends, or anyone, who want clean, authentic, beautiful, and fun pictures!!
