After getting engaged in December of 2015, we immediately began our search for photographers. My now husband and I were in a bit of a time crunch as he was set to deploy to Afghanistan in February of 2016. I spent quite some time looking for a ...photographer and my searches would always end with me being back on Amber Kelley Photography. Not only was I impressed with the reviews other clients had written, I was absolutely in love with the pictures that were on the screen in front of me. I filled out an inquiry with my fingers crossed because we needed to get our engagements done before he left – as he would not return until November. I was so excited to receive a quick reply that stated they would be able to squeeze in engagements before he left – and would love to work with us for our wedding and also videography. We met with Amber & Zack back in January of 2016 and they were so wonderful – very personable and passionate about what they do. We booked that same day for photography & videography! (Word of advice: if you can, book these 2 together, they all know each other and have worked together before – helps wedding day to run smoothly! We are still anxiously waiting for our wedding video – but we know it will be great. J. Headrick and his team are wonderful and also enjoy working together to capture the sweetest moments.) My husband is not one to be super fond of pictures – he was slightly concerned our engagement session would be “awkward” but I assured him it would be great! Sure enough, it was more than that – we were laughing the whole time all thanks to Amber & Zack. They are both so talented – and we were head over heels in love with our engagements. Fast-forward a year and a half later, we had the pleasure of working with Katy Rankin, Summer, and Cody on our wedding day, June 9, 2017. Katy is the Austin lead photographer and is an absolute joy to be around. In the week leading up to the wedding she was eager to chat on the phone, text with any questions I had, and was super responsive to emails. It is truly like having a friend around when you have someone like her – she is always smiling, was open to any picture ideas/requests, and is of course super knowledgeable in her skill. I was super anxious to see all of our pictures – after seeing them for the first time today, they truly take my breath away. Katy and her team work together so well to capture life’s precious moments. Katy is so amazingly talented, she was able to keep me calm when I was worried about guests being in the background of pictures, worked with our entire family to get group shots (which can be difficult with so many people), and kept a smile on her face throughout the entire evening. Highly recommend Amber Kelley Photography – I could not imagine our day being captured more beautifully and am so grateful to have these photographs forever.
