Before I was a wedding photographer, I was a bride. I had been planning my big day since I was a little girl, recreating it again and again with Barbie and Ken. When I received my wedding pictures, I was blown away. In front of me was a complete story of my day, details and all. I knew immediately I would treasure these photos forever.
As a wedding photographer, I want my brides to feel the same overwhelming happiness that I did. When you look back at your wedding day photos, I hope you see a unique and authentic representation of your love, one you will cherish for years to come.

I would go with Amy again and again. She was the best decision I made and best money I spent planning my wedding. The day goes by so quickly but the moments she captured of me and my husband and well as our family and friends are everlasting. She made all of us look like something out of a magazine and my wedding was on one of the hottest days of the summer. She worked through the heat and her talent has been such a gift to us. I am SO happy with my wedding photos and I cannot wait to show our kids someday.
Thank you, Amy. When it comes time for my sister’s wedding, expect a call from us!

Working with Amy was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! We used Amy for our engagement photos in Central Park and for our wedding day. It was the best decision we made. Amy was professional, efficient and most importantly a super kind, thoughtful person to work with. Her photos captured the joy and emotion we felt on our wedding day. We cannot recommend Amy enough and feel so grateful she captured our special moments so perfectly!

We had our wedding in New York City at The Metropolitan Club this past September. We had hired Amy for our wedding and she did not disappoint! She had such calm energy for the day of and couldn't have been more warm and welcoming. Her direction with knowing which shots and angles to take along with getting all the family portraits and bridesmaids/ groomsman shots. For preference we both have big families/ bridal - groomsman parties which sometimes can make it difficult to get the shots but she did it all. She was so easy to work with and would highly recommend having her as your photographer.

My husband and I cannot express enough gratitude for Amy! From our first phone call with her after our engagement, we could tell not only how kind she is, but how passionate she is about her work and how much she cares about her clients. Amy has been with us through each step of the wedding planning process - from our engagement pictures, to our wedding day, to creating albums for us and our parents - and she made the process incredibly seamless, stress-free, and most importantly, fun! She was extremely flexible when we had to reschedule our engagement photos and she kept everyone on time during pictures at our wedding. Amy has truly become more like a friend than just a vendor during this process and we would recommend her to anyone! Our pictures are exactly what we envisioned and we are fortunate that we get to relive the most special day of our lives through her work! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Amy is AMAZING! I first found out about her because she did the wedding photos for a friend of mine and they came out so lovely we decided to hire her for our wedding - best decision ever. Our wedding was this past October and she and her assistant showed up and seamlessly worked with us. Our photos from the wedding are spectacular - we could not have asked for a better mix of both posed and candid shots and our special day was caught perfectly. Looking back at our photos has given us such joy because she was able to capture what feels like a million special moments. I also have never felt more photogenic in my life, she really knows what she’s doing. I recommend her to everyone and anyone and hope to work with her in the future for other special occasions!

I feel so lucky to have found Amy and to have her shoot my wedding day! I knew from our first phone call and her beautiful photography that I wanted to work with her. She is such a kind person and was such a pleasure to work with. She is incredibly talented at what she does - the whole day went smoothly and she was so organized with the timeline. She did an amazing job capturing all the details of our day and the pictures came out better then I could have imagined. I feel like I was reliving the day all over again looking through them. We are so grateful to Amy and her team for making our day so special. I cannot recommend her enough!

I truly cannot recommend Amy enough- working with her is an absolute dream. I met Amy while planning a client's wedding, and was so impressed by her talent and professionalism that I hired her for my own wedding in 2023. Amy perfectly captures the energy of a wedding day, letting you literally relive each moment and the joy that you felt. She is unbelievably kind, professional, and a true joy to be around, and makes the photography portion of the day a true breeze. She is one of a kind, and truly the best of the best!

Amy is the BEST!!! As a camera-shy couple, we were nervous about how we would feel during our wedding photos. Amy eliminated all that fear and made the day feel so effortless! Every moment felt so natural and so us, all thanks to Amy and her easy-going style. Amy has a vision and it was so nice to give up control and trust that she would make that vision come to light. I cannot recommend Amy enough!! We just received all of our wedding photos and I can truly say I love every single one. Thank you Amy for capturing our special day!! We will cherish all of our photos for a lifetime.

Amy is the ABSOLUTE best photographer in the game to work with. As we reflect on our wedding day, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible work she did as our photographer. Her contribution to our day was nothing short of extraordinary and we wanted to take a moment to express our appreciation in more detail.
From the very beginning of our initial consultation, Amy has shown a remarkable level of professionalism. During our engagement photography session, my now husband (Ryan) who “claims” he is not photogenic (lol), was amazed at how we both looked in our photos. Amy provided such clear direction to both of us, making the process effortless. It truly was impressive. It obviously reflected in the most gorgeous shots. All of our family and friends loved our engagement photos and from that point, we were so excited to be working with Amy. We could not wait for our wedding day.
Our wedding day was “simply perfect.” The photographs (wedding preview sent 2 days after the wedding) she provided us are beyond stunning (we can not wait for all the images). They capture not just the images, but the emotions, the atmosphere, and the essence of the day. Every time we look at them, we're transported back to the joy, love, and happiness we felt on our wedding day. Her skill and creative vision are evident in every shot, and we could not be happier with the results.
In addition to her photography skills, Amy’s professionalism and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. Her enthusiasm, positive energy, timely communication, attention to detail, and willingness to accommodate our specific requests (staying later to capture more of the wedding party) were greatly appreciated. Overall, it was a long and tedious day for Amy. She never lost enthusiasm or focus, she was locked in. You can tell this was not just a job, this is her passion. She went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our photography needs were met, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
In closing, Amy’s role as our photographer was not just of a service provider, it was that of an artist and a storyteller. She told the story of our wedding day through her lens, and for that, we will be forever grateful.
Amy, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being an integral part of our wedding day and for providing us with photographic memories that will last a lifetime. Your talent and passion shine through in your work, and we are beyond fortunate to have had you as our photographer. We will wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated photographer for their special day.
Thank you, once again, for your incredible work.

Amy was absolutely amazing on our wedding day and our engagement photos! She was so quick to respond in the months and days leading up the wedding and truly took the time to understand what we were looking for. Her and her assistant were so organized and really made sure to capture everything we wanted and more!
One thing I learned during this process is if you can trust your vendors there is nothing to stress about on your wedding day and I absolutely felt this way with Amy! She was so kind, patient and organized - not to mention an absolutely amazing photographer!!
And a bonus - she sent along our preview a week after our wedding with hundreds of photos. She is so kind and wonderful to work with - I would highly recommend Amy!!
We actually found her through a friend who had the same praises for how wonderful she was for their wedding in 2021.

We could not have had a more wonderful experience with Amy. From my initial outreach to our wedding day, Amy exceeded all of our expectations. As two people who are not the most comfortable with having our photos taken, my husband and I felt right at home with Amy. She is so incredibly warm and makes you feel confident while having fun. We did an engagement shoot with her which we'd highly recommend. On the day of our wedding, Amy joined me at my parents' home as I was getting ready. It immediately felt like she was part of our family, laughing and smiling as she captured all the special moments of our wedding. For our ceremony and reception, she made sure to get photos of every moment we asked with all the people we outlined in advance of the big day. She was hugely efficient, which was really important to us. Amy was able to be affirmative when she needed to get guests' attention, but also got our 2- to 4-year old nieces and nephews to laugh for photos making silly faces and bunny ears. We are so thrilled with how our photos ended up. If you are even considering whether to use Amy or not, look no further. She is the best of the best!

Amy exceeded our expectations as our wedding day photographer from our first conversation, to planning out the photos we wanted before the wedding, to our wedding day where she captured the most beautiful pictures we could have asked for! Amy was so helpful making us feel comfortable in front of the camera which we really appreciated since it doesn’t come naturally to us! Both her and her colleague Emily were very professional making sure we had taken all the photos we hoped for on our wedding day. Both of our families commented that our wedding photos were the best that they have seen and that they loved meeting and working with Amy on our wedding day. If you are thinking of working with Amy as your wedding photographer we could not recommend her more!

If you are unsure, this is your sign to book Amy as your wedding photographer NOW! Not only are our photos absolutely breathtaking, but she is the calming and kind presence everyone needs with them throughout their most important day! She captured our love, our wedding day, and all the details so beautifully. We even woke up the morning after our wedding to an email with sneak peaks - the best surprise! She is truly an artist and every photo she takes is a masterpiece. The worst part is I have NO idea how to choose which photos to display in our home, because they are all THAT good. A problem I am grateful to be faced with. All of our guests raved about how well organized and warm she was. Both Amy and the photos she blessed us with exceeded anything and everything my husband and I could have ever imagined.

We could not have asked for a better person to capture our wedding day. I've said this once and I'll say it one million times more, Amy is the kindest soul with talent beyond comprehension. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of a camera lens - Amy changed that completely. We felt like ourselves and it truly shows in every single image. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Amy. We will be forever grateful for you and your talent that captured our wedding day so perfectly.

Where do I even start?! Amy takes absolutely mind-blowing photos and she is such a sweet, kind person on top of it all. She was the first vendor we booked after the venue, I am so happy we did! Amy has this incredible eye for the perfect spot, the right pose, and she was able to put me and my (now) husband at ease, getting pictures I could never have even dreamed of both at our engagement shoot and our wedding. She made sure she knew which parts of the wedding day were most important to us (and was awesome about getting specific shots that we wanted), and was responsive, dependable, and kind throughout the entire process. We got our preview photos for both our engagement and wedding less than 24 hours later, which is ridiculous and so awesome! We were looking through photos of the wedding as we waited for our plane to fly off on our honeymoon, and that was such a magical feeling. I can't wait to see the full set from the day! Also, while I think Amy typically does more city weddings, she and her team captured our rustic barn wedding in upstate NY to absolute perfection. We are so so happy that Amy was part of our day, and incredibly grateful that we'll have these amazing pictures for a lifetime.

Amy’s warm, positive energy is contagious and she left a lasting impression on my husband and I (she’s exactly who you want surrounding you on your big day!) Her work is absolutely incredible and she captured every moment of our big day perfectly.

Amy Rizzuto is by far the BEST wedding photographer to ever exist!!! We cannot stop talking about how happy we are with Amy's work! From the moment we had our initial call with her, we could tell how incredibly graceful, professional, and kind she was. She is by far our favorite vendor we had for our wedding!! She went through our timeline in a detailed manner with us and even went to our venue to scout out prime photo locations for us. She also made time to meet up with us at a coffee shop one day before our wedding just to get to know us better!!
On the day of our wedding, she was so organized and efficient and was able to get the shots of our dreams. Shots we could never even dream of! Our friends and family cannot stop raving about how amazing she was!! Even with a very large Indian family, she was extremely organized and was able to get all the family shots we wanted. Her positive and calming presence really made our wedding day so special. She is truly so sweet!
And now getting to our final wedding gallery: we could not have imagined a more perfect compilation of our entire wedding day! Going through our final gallery made us so emotional, as she captured the vibe and essence of our entire day SO perfectly and really got every single shot we could have imagined. She is so incredibly talented! My husband and I cannot express how thankful we are for these memories of a lifetime! Thank you so much, Amy!! You are seriously the best, and we are forever thankful!

You must book Amy for your wedding!! We are SO grateful that she was our photographer for our special day. Amy was calm, cool, collected and the exact type of sweet, lovely energy that we needed on a day that can bring a lot of stress. She and her assistant Emily were so organized and helpful in making sure that the schedule ran smoothly and efficiently. They went above and beyond in the way that they attended to my husband and I to make sure that we were comfortable throughout the hot summer day. They were ultra kind in the way that they interacted with all of my family, friends, and other wedding vendors. I cannot even begin to express how happy we are with our photos!! They are so beautiful and natural and we will cherish them forever.
I cannot recommend Amy Rizzuto enough! She is the BEST!!

Words cannot convey the gratitude we have for Amy and how perfectly she captured our day. Amy is absolutely the most talented photographer and is INCREDIBLE to work with. Not only are her photos breathtaking, but she is the sweetest human and such a joy to work with. Her and her team went above and beyond to make my entire bridal party, my family and my fiancé and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. They also were SO attentive to every single detail throughout the entire day and caught such precious, beautiful moments that we didn’t even see ourselves. We loved her from the second we met her during our engagement photos and were so impressed with how gorgeous those came out. She somehow makes every single pose look so natural and effortless. We thought our photos couldn’t possibly get better than our engagement session and then we saw our wedding preview. We are speechless at how she managed to somehow exceed our already high expectations. Not to mention she turned around a gorgeous preview and behind the scenes video of the day in less than 8 hours after our event (that ended at midnight) so we could have something to share with our family and friends before receiving the full gallery. Her and her team were on the dance floor all night taking pictures of every single moment up until the very end. We received an overwhelming amount of compliments on both our engagement and wedding photos. We are so excited to see the full gallery! Amy and her team are such a professionals and truly the best in the business.

Amy is the dream! As someone starting their own business in photography, I was SO afraid to hire someone low quality or inconsistent for our wedding, and I really wanted someone with a timeless style. Amy is all of these things and more! She is super professional, always makes you feel comfortable, captures every little moment of your day down to the tiniest detail, delivers tons of beautiful, clear images, and on top of it all is the the most selfless, sweet person I have ever met. I absolutely cannot say enough about how talented, professional, and enjoyable Amy is. You want her with you on your wedding day.

She went above and beyond for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. She made sure to get all of our requested posed shots and then made sure to get many candids as per our request. She even stayed late to get the cake cutting! She is truly so wonderful to work with and her photography is gorgeous!

Amy is AMAZING! She is phenomenal at her craft and her pictures really show it! She really listens to her couples with exactly what they are looking to capture within their wedding pictures and absolutely delivers, to perfection. Not only does Amy photograph, but she organizes the day of timeline and makes sure everyone is on time and organized. She also has to coordinate all of the group pictures and my family/guests couldn’t stop complimenting on her direction and guidance. It was pouring the day of our wedding and Amy was so excited to get some beautiful outside pictures with umbrellas. She will do whatever is needed to get the pictures we desired and that meant so much to us!! Amy was such a pleasure to work with and I really hope that I have an opportunity to work with her in the future.

Amy is the best photographer in the business! She captured the most genuine and gorgeous wedding photos I’ve ever seen. Amy is also a pleasure to work with and be around. She is extremely sweet and kind with a calming demeanor (which all of us brides need on our wedding day!) and her talent is unsurpassed. Even my husband is raving about how beautiful the pictures came out and she got them to us sooo fast! She even took the time to capture a lot of the shots on her iPhone and sent them to me so that I could post them on Instagram! I can’t recommend Amy enough, she captured our day perfectly and now the pictures will remind us of the memories for the rest of our lives.

Amy is the absolute best photographer and I highly recommend her services for your wedding! We postponed our original wedding date to covid and Amy was so accommodating and easy to work with through the process. We were able to do an engagement shoot before that and we had the best time and the pictures were absolutely stunning so we knew going into our wedding it would be even better. We just received our full gallery and the pictures are so stunning and flawless, our family and friends are also so impressed. On top of that Amy is so kind responsive and lovely to work with. She captured every moment and worked well with our wedding party and guests.

Amy by far was the best decision we made in choosing our wedding vendors. We booked Amy in 2019 for our 2020 NJ wedding, only to move the wedding to 2021 and to FL. Amy was so amazing and prompt to respond in dealing with all of our wedding changes and did not hesitate when we then asked her to travel (an ask we did not take lightly during a pandemic). The day of our wedding, Amy and Mekina were absolutely fabulous. They captured all the small and intimate moment to the big ones, all the while not being intrusive. To this day, we still have friends tell us how amazing they were throughout the whole night. Lastly, we just received our full album and our pictures are more than we ever could have imagined. I would highly recommend Amy for ANY occasion.

Amy has been absolutely amazing from the very beginning! We booked her back in early 2019 for our original wedding date in 2020 which was then postponed twice. She was so kind, gracious and communicative through the entire period of uncertainty and moving our dates. I've been in many wedding parties before and sometimes the photographer can make you feel anxious and rushed, not Amy! She has such a sweet, warm and inviting personality that kind of makes your worries go away and you're able to enjoy the day much more. She makes you feel at home and just generally eased. I felt like I've known her forever even though the wedding day was the first time meeting in person! My family and friends also mentioned how impressed they were with her ability to catch every shot and be there for every moment. There aren't enough words to express our gratitude! My husband and I wish we can relive the day over and over and would choose Amy every time!

Amy was absolutely a dream to work with every step of the way - for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, and even afterward as we've subsequently added albums to our package after seeing the incredible sneak peak photos. Amy's work is truly beautiful and speaks for itself, but beyond her incredible talent as a photographer, Amy is the most caring, kind, enthusiastic, accommodating, and helpful vendor that you could imagine working with for your wedding. Her passion for weddings is infectious and she truly goes out of her way to make your wedding day stress-free and extremely special, and she will do absolutely anything to capture the perfect shots. Amy was running around our entire wedding day making sure she did not miss any special moment. You'll often see Amy standing on chairs or on the ground capturing every moment of your day. My wedding guests even commented on how impressed they were with Amy and her team because anytime there was a photo opportunity there was always a photographer there to capture it. I feel so fortunate to have found Amy, and I am grateful to her for her flexibility with accommodating both our wedding date and venue changes due to COVID-19. Amy was also my go-to vendor for other vendor referrals, and she led me to the best videographer and hair and makeup team. Your photographer is arguably your most important vendor because they are with you your entire wedding day, and they capture the memories of your wedding that you'll have for a lifetime. I could not recommend Amy more for this very important role. Thank you, Amy for making our day perfect and for capturing it so beautifully.

Amy's team (lead by Nadine for our wedding), was absolutely outstanding! Not only are we thrilled with the photos that were taken, but we felt so taken care of the day of our wedding. Our wonderful experience extended beyond just our personal interactions to our families, wedding party, and guests. They all at various times in the day mentioned how impressed they were with the team's professionalism and hospitality. Nadine, Jill, and Carol were all incredibly kind, patient, and so absolutely lovely to work with. On what was definitely a stressful day, they went above and beyond to not only capture gorgeous moments, but to make us feel special. I would certainly recommend Amy Rizzuto Photography in the future!

Amy could not have been any better to work with. I had admired her work for years and was so happy when she was available on our wedding day-and then on our postponed date. Amy’s work speaks for itself but how comfortable her and her second shooter made us helped make the whole day even more fun. From responsiveness throughout the pandemic to even helping button my dress on my wedding day, she literally did it all. Amy is the sweetest person on top of being a phenomenal photographer, she will do anything from climb a tree to lay on the ground if it means getting the perfect picture. We got our sneak peeks back so quickly and I am obsessed with them all I cannot wait to see the rest. I cannot recommend Amy enough. If you are able to splurge on one thing for your wedding, photos should be it. I never realized prior but now I understand how important it is after all the planning we put into our wedding day to have great pictures to remember it.

Amy has been amazing from the very start. We initially postponed our wedding and Amy was on board for our 2021 event. Then, 8 weeks before our original wedding date, my husband and I decided we still wanted to get married. We contacted Amy and she responded immediately that she would help without hesitation. Amy drove out to Pennsylvania for our mini ceremony and even provided us with a sneak peak of our photos 24 hours later, and then provided the entire album 4 weeks later.
Amy is an incredibly talented photography, but also just such a genuine and accommodating person. She was able to handle my complicated family situation with ease, and seemed genuinely happy to be at our wedding. She is truly the best!

Amy was the best decision made in wedding planning, period! I had always admired her photos and had several friends who worked with her in the past highly recommend her. I truly didn’t understand what a difference the photographer makes on your wedding day until I experienced it first hand. Amy and team blended seamlessly into the day, captured authentic moments and made the beautiful pictures I now have feel effortless. She remembered everything I said was important to capture when day I wouldn’t have had the time to remind her of. She managed complicated family dynamics and somehow managed to have 2 young flower girls smiling in every photo. Being a COVID bride and having to reschedule, Amy and I kept in constant communication and she was beyond flexible in accommodating changes. I received previews the day after the wedding and my full album in half the time I was expecting. I truly could not be happier in the finished product and overall experience!

When planning our wedding, choosing the right photographer was high on our priority list. My husband and I wanted someone who would be thoughtful and caring the day of, and who also produced beautiful work that we could treasure forever. Without a doubt, Amy exceeded our every expectation and hope. Logistically, Amy is extremely organized and prompt; coordinating with her throughout the wedding process was truly a joy. Because the photographer is really with the couple throughout the day, it’s also important that you enjoy their company. For us, having Amy by our side was extremely calming, and our whole bridal party had a blast working with her. When we received our wedding photos, I was immediately brought to tears. Her work is nothing short of stunning, and we enjoy her art on our walls every day. There are truly not enough words to describe how thankful we are for Amy. We can’t wait to work with her again for future milestones. You will not regret choosing Amy Rizzuto Photography!

Amy was the BEST decision we made in our entire wedding planning process!! From taking our dreamy engagement photos throughout Central Park, she knew all of the best spots and photo ops and the pictures came out absolutely breathtaking! We were blown away. Then, she was so willing and excited to photograph our small backyard covid wedding with just our parents and priest present and seriously took the most amazing photos. She showed up in a mask and was more than 6 feet away at all times and still managed to create the most unforgettable wedding photos that we will treasure forever in our first home. I would recommend Amy over and over again and am SO happy she was able to be there on our special day, no matter what. She is just the sweetest person with the kindest heart and felt so comfortable with her - it was just like a friend was photographing us. I would say RUN, don't walk to book Amy for your wedding. You will not be disappointed. Her talent is unlike any other and she was hands down the best vendor we booked!

This story is about the best photographer we have worked with. After we received photos from our wedding day, we realized we didn't capture all the shots we wanted. This and the fact that we wanted pictures in NYC, where we live, we decided to 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

There are absolutely no words to express how in love I am with each and every single one of my wedding photos. Choosing Amy to capture the moments from my wedding day was the best decision I made. Amy is such a professional - she inserted her team 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.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience with Amy. From our very first phone call she was so absolutely sweet and helpful. She walked us through the planning process and all day of logistics. She talked through every question 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!

If you haven't booked your wedding photographer, I urge you to pick Amy Rizzuto. There are not enough words to describe how happy I am to have had the privilege of working with her. I am one of the pickiest people I know when it comes to photos. 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.

Amy was dream to work with! She kept the entire wedding flowing, capturing all of the special moments we discussed. We are constantly looking back and reminiscing on our perfect day. Thank you, Amy & Carroll!

My husband and I found Amy through the wedding of a friend in 2017. We had been impressed with her style on the day of the wedding and the photos we saw afterwards. When we got engaged in 2018 choosing the photographer was the easiest part! Amy 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!

THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER YOU CAN POSSIBLY BOOK FOR YOUR WEDDING - and this is not exaggerated.
I've had the big luck to have Amy as my Photographer for our church ceremony and hotel reception and it was my luck that, even though I started planning 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 :-)

To start off, Amy was so flexible as we had to change the date for our engagement shoot 2 times. Once being the morning of the planned shoot! My fiancé and I eventually met Amy for the first time at our engagement shoot. Within the first minute 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.

There are not enough words to express our gratitude to this lovely and unbelievably talented woman. Her photos perfectly captured the style we were looking for, and after speaking with several photographers we confidently chose her for our March 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!

We cannot recommend Amy more!! From our first conversation we could feel her genuine excitement about weddings, photography and our wedding specifically. We had so much confidence in choosing to work with her based on her infectious enthusiasm 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!

There are not enough words to express how AMAZING Amy Rizzuto is. A year before my wedding, I came across Amy's work on my Instagram. As soon as I looked into her photos and website there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to hire her as my 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%.

Amy was the first person we called when we started to plan our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! I had been following her Instagram for years and through her stories and work, I could see how talented and lovely she is. She 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!!

Amy was truly an angel to work with!! Not only is she an incredible photographer, but she is such a kind soul, so sweet, and fun to be around!! We were able to meet Amy for our engagement photos, and when we did I knew choosing her as our photographer 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!!!

Amy and team was just wonderful! She, Nadine and Julie captured our special day beautifully. Amy arrived at our venue and jumped right into taking photos of myself and my bridesmaids getting ready. She made us all feel at ease and was so positive 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.

Amy was fantastic! I met her at my friend's wedding a few years ago and knew I'd have to use her as my photographer too. My wedding was a week ago and we couldn't be happier to have picked Amy and her team! We got our sneak peak photos and they 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!!

Amy is INCREDIBLE!! One of the best decisions we made was hiring Amy to capture our wedding. She was such a joy to be with and truly captured the magic and spirit of the day. We could not be happier with the quality of her work. Her personality 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!

If there is one vendor you MUST hire for your wedding day, it is Amy Rizzuto. I knew I wanted Amy to capture my wedding months before I was engaged, and she was the first person I reached out to after my fiancé popped the question! Amy is an incredible 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!

Amy was THE BEST photographer we could have asked for! After seeing the stunning images on Amy’s website, I knew this was the photographer I wanted to capture my wedding memories! I was thrilled when I she was available for our date! Amy led the 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!
