About this vendor
Hello there! I am so glad you are here! My name is Amy, she/her. I am the owner of Amy Zumwalt Photographers, a wedding photography business based in Grand Prairie, TX. I'm also a plant-lover, a painter, a boy-mom, a whiskey-connoisseur, an LGBTQ advocate, and I split my time between Dallas, Texas and the Pacific Northwest. I shoot intimate weddings and adventure elopements all over the world, but primarily in Texas, Oregon, Maine and Iceland. I have been an elopement and wedding photographer for more than 14 years and have adventured with couples all over the world to help them tell their love stories in the most beautiful places on earth.
Whether you're planning a wedding in Dallas-Fort Worth or an elopement or adventure wedding in the Pacific Northwest, your images should be genuine, organic, timeless and jaw-dropping. Let's connect and see if we are a good fit!
Interested in eloping? I help couples craft an adventurous, nature-centered elopement that allows them to be fully present and connected. Our experience will be authentic, organic, laid back, extremely fun and absolutely beautiful. Whether it’s just the two of you, or some of your family and friends…Whether we hike, row out on a lake, jump in a hot spring, explore the coastal cliffs, seek out a few waterfalls, or spend the night under the stars (or all of the above), I will help you plan out an experience that is not bound by rules or expectations. Just a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to celebrate your new life together!

Amy felt like an extension of our family! From the first zoom meeting she was so friendly and fun as well as professional that my wife and I felt an instant connection with her! T...
hroughout the whole process she was so helpful going above and beyond even giving me her opinions and ideas based on other weddings she did. My wife and I are both normally so awkward but she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured the most beautiful amazing photos!! Watching her work and be inspired made us excited and enjoy the photo process even more. I look thru the album almost weekly. The emotions she captured take me right back to our special day. I can’t gush about her enough. Love you Amy!
Amy was an INCREDIBLE photographer and made our day so special. I couldn't be more confident in recommending her for anyone's wedding. We had 4 different locations that we were goi...
ng to be in for pictures throughout the day which included travel across Dallas. I never even considered the importance of timing and a schedule until I realized that Amy had thought through everything. She was able to capture all of the pictures we wanted and keep us perfectly on time without feeling a moment of stress. Her personality was also exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. She was flexible, funny, calm, and gave us the perfect balance of "us" time while still engaging with us and showing her personality to help us open up. She also was SO efficient with pictures after the ceremony allowing us to get to our cocktail hour. Not to mention this time included a 50+ person picture that she helped us arrange, which shockingly took less than 30 seconds...and even photographed so clearly with that many people!
We were so impressed by the final product and the pictures we received. She gave us a perfect mix of the standard wedding pictures, along with more fun and memorable shots. She realized the elevator we were standing in had a picture of the moon on the floor and somehow angled the camera perfectly to make it look like we were actually there. Check out her instagram to see! This is just one example of how great her eye is. With the reception and ceremony being at the Perot Museum, there’s a LOT going on. She knew exactly where to go and what would be most worth while.
Her pricing is appropropriate and well worth the amount of time and effort she puts into being your wedding photographer. I am so grateful for Amy and so thankful that we found her for our wedding. Choose her, you won't have a single regret!
Amy was so great to work with! I can’t stop looking at our photos. She was very professional and knew how to keep a large wedding party on time for pictures. I’m so happy I chose h...
er—wedding pictures last forever and (in my opinion) you should get the highest quality you can. Amy is definitely a high quality photographer!
If you are a bride reading this, book Amy RIGHT NOW. Amy did our engagement photos and wedding. She was so fun to work with and produces the most incredible pictures. We will de...
finitely book her again for future occasions.
I don't even know where to start! Amy is hands down the best and coolest photographer I've ever come across. Not only did she put up with us going back and forth on venues but she ...
was 1000% on board when we decided on overseas. She was so great at getting us relaxed and in the moment even during our adventure shoot when there were 50mph winds. Her photos are jaw dropping and more than you can ever imagine. She really does her research on where she shoots and makes sure to capture all the beauty around.
Hiring Amy Zumwalt was hands down my best decision for making our wedding day such a special experience. After our phone consultation, my excitement for the planning process went t...
hrough the roof! I hadn’t laughed that hard with a stranger, maybe ever. You really feel like you gained a best friend through the process. Amy is the reason I found our incredible wedding planner, and everything from there practically fell into place. Her powerful images speak for themselves- if you’re reading this you already know how incredibly talented this woman is! Working with Amy is fun, exciting, and most importantly - COMFORTABLE. She will play silly games with you to get such genuine photos. Having a camera in your face while you’re smooching your honey can usually feel pretty awkward, but she goes out of her way to make sure there is never a dull moment. You will thank yourself over and over again for hiring this wonderful woman!!
Booking Amy as our winter wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process! She also took our engagement photos too, and we couldn't b...
e happier how everything turned out. We now look for any excuse for a photo shoot just to work with Amy again! She is so thoughtful, detailed, and artistically creative in every image she creates and is able to depict the raw and authentic emotions of her clients through her jaw-dropping photography; that is what truly makes her unique! Not to mention, she's so positive to be around and made us feel comfortable and excited in front of the camera. Her second shooters are just as great and professional! We received our wedding photos in an organized portal less than 2 months after our wedding which is SO QUICK! She also helped put together a day-of photography timeline to ensure that all your requested photos are taken in a timely manner. We can't recommend her enough!
If you are looking for the PERFECT photographer for your big day, look no further than Amy! She has an incredible gift of capturing a couple so perfectly, and she makes it so easy....
My now-husband and I hadn’t been professionally photographed in years (and we are both a little awkward in front of a camera), but you would never know from our engagement and wedding photos. Amy makes the entire photo-taking process easy and FUN! She will definitely keep you laughing. She is also incredibly easy going and will make your life so easy on your big day. Bonus: she is also great with family members, taking all of that stress off of the bride and groom.
In addition to her talent, Amy is just an all around great person. She’s fun, has a great sense of humor, and she treats her couples like people as opposed to clients. She considers it important to get to know the couples she works with, and at the end of the process, you will feel like you have a friend in her.
Photos were my #1 wedding priority, and Amy was my #1 choice. I love my images more than I can say, and so have all of my family and friends. Truly, I have received SO many compliments on our photos! That is the result of a truly gifted photographer. If you’re looking for amazing, I promise you’ve found what you’re looking for with Amy.

I cannot say enough good things about Amy.... WOW. JUST WOW. She has a seriously infectious personality and she brings out the best in her clients --- even when they haven't had th...
eir photos taken professionally EVER (like myself). My fiance and I have never had our pictures taken together and Amy managed to make magic out of our goofiness. If you have ANY interest in hiring a photographer that is truly incredible and has an eye for not only good portraits but also captures the environment in a setting (I think this is a great talent that most photographers DONT have) -- then hire Amy. She will not let you down. :)
Amy is so talented. She has such a creative and beautiful style and my pictures were hands down gorgeous. She is very accommodating and easy to get in touch with. She is always wil...
ling to work around schedules and she is very professional. She makes sure that you get every photo that you want on your day. On top of all of that she is so much fun! I highly recommend her for any type of photography services and especially for wedding services!
I skipped work on a Friday one year before our wedding date to make sure I could snag Amy for our wedding date! My wedding planner, Shannon, recommended her along with a couple of ...
other photographers, and right off the bat I knew she was the right fit for us. Not only are her photos stunning (her work really speaks for itself), but she is so easy to work with and made this photo awkward bride incredibly comfortable during our shoots. Jokingly, in our first meeting Amy said something about how she sees brides for engagement shoots, the wedding, and then down the road for newborn and family photo shoots. 100%, when we need new photos taken, I'll be tracking Amy down again. She's one of the very best wedding decisions we made!!
Amy was AMAZING and such a joy to work with! The photos from our engagement and the highlights from our wedding came out perfectly. We haven't received all the wedding photos yet (...
we just got married) but I feel very confident that they will be wonderful. Amy is creative and knows how to make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Amy completely put me at ease with her down to earth, fun-loving personality. She is one of those that actually loves what she does and cares about her clients. She has a way abo...
ut her that she just brings out this joy in people and captures it on camera. She goes above and beyond and is quite the seamstress too. If your zipper ever brakes, don’t worry – she’ll be there to save the day. I cannot recommend her enough! She will absolutely continue to be my go to for any sessions in the future.
Amy is amazing. The most fun and exciting part of our wedding was working with her. She made my photophobic husband more comfortable with her awesome sense of humor. She has an ama...
zing vision and it shows in her photos, she was the best decision I made for our wedding.
I cant wait to work with her again for future events!!!!
There are people that can take nice pictures and then there is Amy. Amy is an artist. She has an amazing ability to convey emotion through her photographs to create the story of yo...
ur day. So when you look at the pictures, they are not just a staged moment in time but they transport you back to that time with all the feelings that you experienced. For me, Amy was more than a photographer. She helped me fulfill my vision for my wedding. I can't recommend her more highly.
Amy... WOW. I cant even begin to explain how AMAZING she is! Amy was able to capture moments of our wedding that we never thought you could get. All the sweet and tender moments ar...
e now ours to look back upon forever. She knows what she is doing and how to help navigate your day, not only does she make you feel like the most beautiful bride ever, she helps you stay calm & enjoy the best day of your life. I would recommend Amy for ANY type of photos. Our photos are breathtaking, Amy was absolutely the best choice!
The most perfect and best day of my life was captured perfectly by Amy! She is great, sweet kind artsy and will add her style with your desires in mind. She's a wonderful artist an...
d worth every penny. I'm SO glad to have all these pictures
I knew from speaking with Amy on the phone she would be my wedding photographer. We both hated the idea of a fancy pants wedding day filled with glitter and overall wispiness. I h...
ad spoken with dozens of photographers, but she and I saw the same thing on my wedding day. She was like me unpretentious and honest. She was bold and fun and I knew I would get along just fine with her. I didn't meet Amy or her second shooter until the day of my wedding, by no fault of her own. I lived 200+ miles away and it never worked out BUT that speaks volumes to her as a professional photographer. I trusted her 110% and I knew my pictures would be incredible and they are. I didn't want cheesy, pose-y, typical wedding pictures and Amy met my every expectation. She was prompt, fun, relaxed and made my day incredible. My wedding party adored her as much as I did because she kept us all laughing. She made it fun and it is obvious in our pictures that everyone seemed at ease and genuinely happy. She responded to my every annoying question and went the extra mile in many ways to make me a happy bride. I would recommend Amy Zumwalt Photographers to any bride on the hunt, she was truly amazing and I wouldn't have changed a thing.
I stressed about finding a wedding photographer. Photos were the most important thing to me since we didn’t hire a videographer. I probably spent three weeks researching, visiting ...
various websites, doing price comparisons, and irrationally comparing their galleries to ones I found on Style Me Pretty. I had a spreadsheet, y’all. Then one day, I came across Amy’s site and was completely blown away. Her work is nothing short of stunning. From the very first phone call to the moment we stepped in our exit car leaving the reception, she was a dream.
She had me laughing and completely at-ease from the very first time I spoke with her. We wanted to do something out-of-the-box for our engagement session and, not only was she completely agreeable, she came up with creative ideas to make it even better than we could have imagined. We threw color powder at each other in the middle of Deep Ellum and she could not have been more accommodating to our crazy idea. I was a little nervous before our engagement photos but the whole session was an afternoon of fun and laughter.
Amy kept in contact with us the days leading up to the wedding, coming up with a timeline and asking us for any special requests we had. She remembered every single one of the requests, including our entire wedding party’s names. That was nothing short of astounding. She responded quickly to any questions I had and, when we had to change venues unexpectedly, was very flexible and positive. On the big day, Amy and Nikki, were simply incredible. They both had everyone laughing and completely comfortable. They kept the perfect balance of the traditional wedding photos you have to get with unique poses and candid moments.
Our preview photos came like a week after the wedding – she was lightning fast but the quality blew me away. I couldn’t believe that was even our wedding. She captured every single moment beautifully. All the love and all the laughter.
The passion she has comes through every photo. It was evident that she was not just there to take pictures - she brings excitement, creativity, and playfulness to everything she does. Her wonderful attitude is completely contagious - she will pull the beauty and creativity forward in any situation. My new husband and I are so grateful that we had the opportunity to work with her.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to invest in quality wedding photography…and there is no one better to do it than Amy Zumwalt.
If you want the images of your bridals/boudoir/wedding day to be unique, captivating, and gorgeous, then reach out to Amy. She has a keen eye for capturing moments that tell your s...
tory in an unconventional and beautiful way. She also has a great, fun personality and is very easy to get along with--it felt like my friend was taking my photos. Amy did my bridals, wedding, and my boudoir (first time) photos and she made me feel comfortable and have fun. Let her do her thing, and you will be thrilled with the images. Investing in a great photographer is the best thing you can do for your wedding--the photos are the only thing that remain after the day is over and it's such a whirlwind. These are what you will have to remember it by forever, and your kids and grandkids, too.
When I originally started researching photographers for our fall 2015 wedding, I had booked an outdoor wedding venue and was hoping to find a photographer that could capture the m...
agic of an outdoor wedding in an artistic way using natural light and a more stylized photo composition. After hours looking over the portfolios of DFW-based photographers, I started calling my list of finalists and Amy was at the top of my list because her outdoor wedding shots are second to none! My meeting with Amy was my first and last photographer meeting – she was exactly what I had in mind and we booked her immediately. Her vision matched mine in how I wanted the day to be captured, and on top of being very detail oriented, her personality was very relaxed with a great sense of humor.
In the upcoming months, though I changed from an outdoor wedding to an indoor venue (Dallas Scottish Right Museum and Library), Amy was incredibly accommodating and rolled with it. As a part of my package, we shot bridals at the new venue and the photos were simply breathtaking. She can walk into any room and know in .05 seconds what wall or feature is going to make a good photo – it’s astounding how good she is at this. The bridals were amazing, even though I had completely switched venues and wedding themes – which truly speaks to Amy’s talent. The photo shoot was full of laughter and by then end of it, not only did I feel like I got way more than I paid for in terms of great images, I felt like she was truly a friend in addition to being the artist behind the lens.
Fast forward to the wedding week. Amy had everything wrapped up and communication with her was great – I felt like this was one area of the day that I didn’t have to worry about at all. Being the perfect mix of good humored and down to business that she is – she and her team meshed really well with everyone from bridesmaids, to groomsmen, to our families. I’ll never forget her walking into the room while the bridesmaids were getting ready – if the day didn’t already feel surreal enough, knowing that she was here to capture the day really made it feel like it was SHOWTIME!
Throughout the day, she had great recommendations on shots and helped me navigate some interesting situations that I wasn’t exactly anticipating (like getting the videographers out of the room while I got into the skirt of my dress – THANK YOU!). She scouted out some great locations for family photos so we didn’t have to do the typical “family photos in front of the church alter” routine and instead got to take them outdoors (again, THANK YOU). Every moment that Amy captured was photographed to the highest possible level and there are so many shots she took that are beyond what I expected.
Amy, we can’t thank you enough for being a part of our wedding – you truly captured the day in the most beautiful way possible. If it was possible to have another wedding just to see what the photographs would look like, we’d do it in a heartbeat!
I cannot recommend this photographer enough. I am blown away at every post I see of hers and I will never regret that we invested in quality photography for our wedding day. Amy ha...
s a real eye for capturing the essence of each special moment. It continues to amaze me as I keep up with her blog.
Amy Zumwalt was my photographer for engagement pictures, bridal portraits, and my wedding--and I wouldn't have had it any other way! She is, hands down, the best in the business.
...
Amy was super fun to work with and I was able to trust her completely--made life so much easier! She was fast with picture edits, and was able to work with me when I needed a print quickly!
But most importantly: her pictures were incredible. I spent a long time pouring over reviews for wedding photographers and looking at my friend's wedding pictures...and they were all nice--beautiful, in fact. HOWEVER, I wasn't looking for someone to simply snap photos of my wedding day...I was looking for someone who could tell the story of my wedding through pictures, and that's exactly what Amy does. Her ability to capture authentic moments, paired with her mind-blowing creativity, truly creates amazing pictures. I was absolutely thrilled when I got my wedding pictures back! I'm tempted to find another husband just so I can have her shoot my wedding again!! (jk...kind of. haha!)
If you just want pictures of your wedding, Amy is not the photographer for you...if you want the story of your wedding day, documented in the most beautiful way imaginable, Amy is your girl.
Incredibly talented, fun, experienced, upbeat, always laughing, confident, fabulous... oh wait, did I already say fabulous???
After viewing the photos on her website, I knew w...

We loved Amy and could not have imagined a more perfect photographer for our engagement photos and of course, our big day!
