eautifully captured!

with one of their photographers in the area. Unfortunately, our wedding was right after Hurricane Harvey and the photographer wasn't able to make it due to flooding, but Zach drove all they way from Austin with a gas shortage going on and made our day as stress free as possible! They really went above and beyond and the photos turned out amazing!! We even ended up doing a Honeymoon shoot with them in Tulum and can not wait to see the beautiful photos!

e our special day, but of course you're always a little nervous about how the photos will turn out, etc. We also needed a destination photographer, which they specialize in. The minute we met Amber and Zach, it was like we were instant friends. Any nerves I had were gone! These two are incredible and so professional. They took the lead, they delegated, and captured every single moment and we really couldn't have asked for more, truly! Their passion for photography and capturing weddings is so obvious and having them a part of our wedding was of the best decisions we made. I would recommend them to anyone looking for the BEST photos and the best experience.

worked with me on making sure I had the perfect location for bridals and every photo suggested for day of was captured. Katy and Justin were able to capture each moment throughout this very special day for us to forever remember. My family members have said nothing but great things about our photos and they've only seen a sneak peek! That's saying something!! Thank you Amber Kelley for capturing this special day for us!! We highly recommend!!

ing and they were great in giving me a breakdown on how the day would look like and giving me amazing tips so the day could go smoothly. They made my now husband and I feel super comfortable , while taking pictures, and even demonstrated how we should pose! Which was so helpful! They both had a wonderful positive personality and you can tell they are extremely professional and passionate about there work! I couldn't have asked for a better experience or a better turnout on our wedding day! I highly recommend Amber Kelly Photography!

stan 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.

n't see are the other details and service they provide that put them way above the rest! Amber was prompt at responding to my messages. She provided helpful tips for planning my wedding from another state and referral resources to help make the process easier. You can immediately tell that you are more than just a number. I felt like Amber was more of a friend than anything else. Their team wants you to have an incredible day and will do whatever they can to help you navigate the unknown. Aside from the support and service, I cannot tell you enough about how amazing Amber & Zack are to work with, their personalities are magnetic and they are so in sync. They are masters of their craft and they make it so much fun. My husband and I loved them and their hilarious terms for poses. We are not used to posing for the camera and what could have been an awkward time for us turned out to be a blast! The day after our wedding, everyone was telling us how awesome our photographers were and they loved them to pieces. We, of course, agreed! The sneak peek photos we received recently were just stunning and the special, natural moments they caught are such great reminders of how special that day really was and I have probably gone through the photos over 20 times with utter excitement and a rush of emotion as if that day was being relived over and over. Hands down the best decision you could make is hiring Amber Kelley Photography for your special day!

of myself, but when I got my preview of our wedding photos tonight I was in love! The photos literally took my breath away! They came out beautiful! Zack came to shoot our wedding and he really knew his stuff and it's clear in the amazing quality of our photos. I did a lot of research on photographers in the Riviera Maya area, and when I found them I just knew they were the ones I wanted to capture the special moments of our wedding day. They actually had accidentally got double booked and I thought I would have to find a new photographer (which was difficult! nothing compared to their quality!), and they were kind enough to figure out a way to make it work for us and I am sooo glad they did! They are also very nice, easygoing people and made my husband and I feel comfortable and relaxed during the wedding day. It was truly a pleasure working with them, also Amor Amor weddings for our wedding video as well! If you are considering Amber Kelley Photography for your wedding, book them ASAP! You will not be disappointed!!!

s so effortless. She shot our engagement photos in December of 2016 and our wedding photos on April 29, 2017. They both turned out beautifully. We are so pleased.

day for April 2017! Zack and Summer photographed my wedding so beautifully- they captured every moment I wanted them to, from the details of the wedding, to the tears and laughter in the ceremony and reception, and they made sure to get plenty of pictures with our family! The two kept things so light and fun and were very enjoyable to work with. My husband and I, along with our families, could not be more pleased with how our pictures turned out. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank Amber Kelley Photography for sharing in our special day, and highly recommend them to everyone!

dn't click as much as we did when we talked with Amber and Zach. They called us from Mexico and after listening to our questions, asked us really great questions that made us feel like they truly payed attention to what we want and our personality. Because of the great phone call, we decided to move forward with them. We then met with Katy Rankin, based in Austin, in person who was so sweet and super fun the moment we met her. She is the best at communicating and answering any questions/concerns. She also made our engagement session really fun and not as awkward as what we were expecting! We love our photos and are very excited to have Katy as our wedding photographer.

ur 25th anniversary trip. I was drawn to their beautiful playful images of couples in love. Their pictures were expressive and told the story of those they photographed. From the start they made us feel comfortable and at ease. Our session never felt staged or cookie cutter. They asked what our vision was and guided us to make it happen. Our shoot felt like it flew by and we felt completely natural doing it. Within a week or so we received our images and were blown away. They captured our playfulness, love, and chemistry. We will definitely tell our friends and hopefully return to take photos with them again one day! Thank you Zach & Amber Kelley Photography

our day beautifully. She was a pleasure to work with, we gave her some ideas that we wanted for couple shots and she also suggested others. She instructed us how to pose for certain shots which sounds very staged but they came out looking so effortless and natural. I cannot wait to order our prints and canvases. Thank you so much Katy for making our day just that much more perfect!!!!

will last a lifetime. We definitely recommend them if you need kick ass photographers.

rfect photographers. They made the process completely stress free, and added so much joy to our actual wedding day! I'm not one who loves to be the center of attention (yes, even though I was the bride), but the two made our day completely natural and comfortable, which I was so appreciative of. Pictures were one of my very top priorities, and each time I pull up our shots it puts me right back there in the moment. I'm so thankful to this wonderful team!

tos out of a couple of nerds like us. We were able to do an intimate ceremony at the Texas Supreme Court with our immediate family, and just love on each other. It poured rain all day... Except for the two hours that we got these incredible shots. Katy and her husband bent over backwards to make sure every little thing was perfect and knew how to capture the day better than I ever could have hoped. We are so thankful to AmberKelley Photography for making these happen.

d Katy really went above and beyond what I was expecting. We had a Nov 2016 wedding and my mom and I were just re-living the day through the most perfect pictures ever taken of us. I am not just saying this as the bride, multiple friends and family members have said the same thing. There was literally not one single bad picture taken of anyone in the whole gallery. Katy was super professional and organized yet so friendly and knowledgable. Very easy to get ahold of and she provided good communication throughout the whole process. She made shooting comfortable and helped us relax and she knows what works and what doesn't (which is why I think every picture came out amazing). Cost wise, it was on the splurge side for us, but worth every penny.

was INCREDIBLE!!!! I am not a fan of having my picture taken, so I was super nervous about our pictures but Katy was so wonderful to us. She was patient, kind and hilarious! We loved her sense of humor because she made us feel so comfortable! We loved our session with her but still worried our pictures might not be flattering...you know, the usual worries; how many chins will I have? How big is my tummy going to look? Are we standing up straight? She made sure to capture our love so well, that I didn't even notice a single flaw. Then when I went back to criticize, as women always do...I found nothing! She made sure to get every shot from the perfect angle! I can't recommend them enough. If you want photos that you will WANT to hang in your home...choose them. They are phenomenal. Thank you so much for making it such a wonderful experience! We can't wait for our big day!!!!! -Lindsay & Ross

As a bride I expect to be treated with respect and compassion. At the end of the day my happiness was not a priority. I will not use their services in the future and will not recommend them to anyone I know.

We were and are so happy with the amazing memories we can now look back on thanks to the awesome work by Amber Kelley Photography! They made us laugh and were honestly so kind and super fun to work with. If you are looking for beautifully captured memories for your wedding day, don't look anywhere else but here because they are THE BEST!

so easy. We had no idea what to want in photos or the style or kind but seeing their work we knew it was an obvious choice to choose Amber Kelley Photography. We had a party of ~75 people and only 6bridesmaids/groomsmen. We were so comfortable and everyone was having fun taking the photos. Our photos turned out so good and we cannot thank them enough for our experience and for our photos. Very thankful for Katy who we had the pleasure of working with and she was really able to capture what everything. Every time someone needs a photographer I show them our wedding photos! Seriously recommend them!

stress free. We got a package that included engagements, bridals, and the wedding day. This was a great option that helped our photography sessions to be smooth. Amber and Zack were helpful and great in ever detail from where the pictures were taken to the time of day and the poses. We both thought it was awesome to have husband and wife as a photographer because they showed us how to pose without looking awkward and it was just so much fun spending time with them. As for the wedding day, we got exactly what we expected and more. We had a morning wedding with an evening reception and they were more than willing to come in the morning and again for the reception. Amber and Zack were on their feet taking pictures the whole time and they got exactly the pictures we wanted. Before the wedding I filled out a questionnaire that communicated the most important pictures to me and they got all of those pictures. Hiring Amber Kelley Photography for your wedding will be a great decision that you will not regret!

h their words. Amber Kelley Photography was helpful and responsive to all our questions and concerns before and after the wedding. They made the day of our wedding fun, stress free and unforgettable. Don't think you can find a more laid back and truly talented photographer. Neither one of us are picture people so we were dreading a day full of posing and photos but Zack and Summer made us feel relaxed and kept it entertaining so we ended up loving it. We were overwhelmed by the quality of photos we now have to remember our wedding. They captured everything meaningful to us and were always asking if there was anything else we needed. Amber Kelley Photography is the perfect choice so book them now. You won't regret it!

h the results! The company was quick to respond to my emails and was super friendly throughout the booking process! Katy was super flexible when it came time to book for the engagements and bridals and was helpful in finding locations for both. She made my husband and I feel comfortable from the start of our engagement session to the end of the wedding day. Her and her husband were completely adorable together, and having pictures from both of their perspectives on the wedding day was so great! You can tell they truly have a passion for what they do, and it shows in their pictures! I have received so many compliments on the pictures from the engagements, bridals, and sneak peak pictures from the wedding day! We can't wait to see the rest!

were so professional, but down to earth and friendly, when we interviewed them over the phone and were available from day one to answer any and all questions. We had so much fun shooting our engagement photos with Zack and Summer, and you can totally tell in how the pictures turned out. WE LOVE THEM. They haven't even shot our wedding yet, and we already can't recommend them enough!

ight of our trip. Not only did they come out amazing but she had them to us very quickly. Also very reasonably priced! We are considering having her come all the way to massachusetts for our wedding! We love you amber!

light of our trip. Not only did they come out amazing but she had them to us very quickly. Also very reasonably priced! We are considering having her come all the way to massachusetts for our wedding! We love you amber!

oducing those pictures " like everyone else has." We are just blown away with how our pictures turned out. Their ideas, suggestions, and hard work to capture the moment is what you call, " Picture perfect!" Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

at I was wanting my photos to be. Day of, they were on top of everything. They took photos of things/moments I didn't even know I wanted. I received so many pictures from them and loved every single one of them. My photos were beyond beautiful. They made my day so memorable for my husband and I and I can't thank them enough! They exceeded my expectations, not only with the quality of their work, but their diligence, patience, and level of service. Best decision for wedding planning is picking these two!

was how amazing our wedding photos were going to be--so I wasn't surprised that when our wedding day sneak peek photos were posted online...within minutes, our post on Facebook had multiple shares and we were receiving texts from family members about purchasing prints. When you have 2 people like Amber and Zach who are both clearly so in love with each other AND share a passion for the work they do, the results are magical and I can honestly say, that's how we feel about both our engagement and wedding photos. They are magical and my husband and I BOTH revisit our photos multiple times a day because we not only can't believe how amazing they are, but also how much the photos capture our love incredibly perfect. We are so thankful for the quality of work the Amber Kelley team produces, but most of all, the fun, free spirited people that their team consists of. It makes getting in front of a camera in a vulnerable, emotioal state easier when you can be comfortable with the people taking your photos. Rock on Amber, Zach, and Summer--you guys moved mountains and created memories that we will have forever--we are so thankful. I would give 10 stars is I could! xoxo

and we are completely satisfied. The quality, quantity and variety of shots are fantastic. I highly recommend them!

stopped raving about them as well. Not only just great work but great down to earth people who made the process super comfortable and fun. I will definitely be using them again for future shoots and HIGHLY recommend them to all!

s at and during the wedding and most importantly, the quality of the photos. We received the edited photos earlier than promised, and we couldn't be happier with them.

s noticeable throughout the wedding. However, when we received our photos, it was amazing! Several of the key moments were captured and we were able to relive the moment weeks after the event. They dedication to their work is amazing and it was worth every dollar! Thank you Zach! Will and Rachel

going, which is perfect for people who might be a little stressed when having their picture taken. I know my husband HATES having the camera on him, but with Amber and Zach is was so easy and relaxed and our photos are gorgeous and so natural. The photos capture our story so well, and truly evoke the emotion of the moment. When we were on the hunt for our photographer (the vendor I was most picky about and had the highest standards) we really wanted someone who would capture our wedding day in such a way that in 30+ years we would be able to look back and be reminded of the love, and joy, and celebration that took place that day. Amber-kelly Photographer did just that.

ent and wedding photos and are so pleased with how everything turned out. On our wedding day, Amber and Zack were calm, cool, and collected and did an excellent job. From what we have seen so far of the sneak peek photos (which is 100 pictures, what a sneak peek!!), they truly captured moments of raw and genuine emotion with brilliant creativity. We are beyond thrilled with the quality of our photos and cannot wait to see the rest. We would definitely recommend Amber Kelley Photography for your upcoming wedding!

e absolutely incredible and I'm so glad I chose her as our photographer. She really takes your style and requests into consideration and she made our wedding day so special. You will not be dissapointed with the quality of her work- amazing!

ust beautiful! Amber and her team are truly amazing and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have fabulous pictures that truly capture moments of time! Thank you Amber and team for making my wedding day and pictures PERFECT!

h would makes us feel even more uncomfortable. Amber Kelley Photography caught my attention because they captured what I was looking for, which was the use of natural lighting and capturing the moments in a genuine way. My husband and I wanted to do our engagement photos at Pedernales Falls State Park but it would require hiking and climbing up and down rocks. When we told Amber and Zack that was where we would like to our engagement photos, they were as enthusiastic and up for the adventure as we were. During our engagement shoot, we had such a great time with Amber and Zack. It was like we were hiking with friends just enjoying the day and capturing the moments. The engagement photos came out wonderful. They were so beautiful and Amber and Zack actually got them to us early, which was great because I was able to use them for our save-the-dates. As it got closer to our wedding, Amber and Zack checked in with us to confirm times and details, and I was always able to get ahold of them with questions. On the big day, it was awesome having Amber in the bridal suite and Zack in the groom suite to capture us both getting ready and spending time with friends and family before the wedding. Amber was so patient with me. I was dealing with a roller coaster of emotions before the wedding. I had a videographer as well at my wedding and Amber and Zack worked so well with him during the ceremony and reception. During the ceremony, I loved how Amber and Zack were able to catch different angles of the ceremony. After the ceremony, we had family and wedding party photos. Amber and Zack did great coordinating this. We were able to finish right on time as the cocktail hour was ending leading into dinner. During the reception, Amber and Zack were on top of capturing everyone dancing, which was important to us because we love dancing, and were able to even sneak in photos of my husband and I by the fire. At the end of the night, we had sparklers during our send off and some special request photos that we wanted with sparklers. Amber and Zack did great capturing them all! I truly can't say enough great things about Amber and Zack. They are so creative, talented, patient and accommodating. They really made my husband and I feel comfortable all the while capturing our special day for us.

husband and I were both a little nervous about being in front of people and cameras on our day and they made it such a fun and natural feeling experience for us. They got our preview photos (over 100) back to us within a couple of weeks and the final photos within 3 weeks. We are completely stunned by the way they captured our special day, their work honestly exceeded our expectations. We are exceedingly pleased and family and friends have not stopped commenting how fabulous the photos are. Would recommend Amber and Zack to everyone I know! :) thanks so much guys :)

rea. I am a native Texan and my fiancé Mike is from Connecticut where we currently live, and Amber Kelley Photography made it incredibly easy for us to plan a photo session with them, even from far away and only a month out from when we planned to be down in Texas. Neither of us had ever done a photo shoot like this before, so we were kind of nervous, but from the moment we met Amber, Zach and Katy we clicked with them. The whole session was really memorable and so much fun! They were willing to meet us outside of Austin where they live, down in Gruene, to make it the most perfect and picturesque photo shoot for our style and vision. We got so lucky to meet three of the four members of the team- Katy, Amber and Zach, and each offered an awesome perspective that was right in line with what we wanted and made us feel like we had paparazzi! They were very in-tune with our story and how we wanted to ‘tell the story,’ and listened to the little things we wanted (I wanted to wear my boots and have that be a feature in some of the pictures, we wanted the water tower in the background, etc.). Amber and Zach were so easy to get a hold of through email, text, etc. and the final edited images only took about 2-3 weeks to get back- ready to go/ready to use for save the dates and to show to family and friends. They never once made us feel pressured to spend a bunch of money on extras or add-ons, and they genuinely asked how everything was for us and if we needed anything else after we received everything. They also set up a phone date with us to go over any questions we might have about booking them for the wedding once we said we wanted that! We are definitely booking them for our wedding now that we have a venue set for next year!

asy for us. So far we have only done the engagement photos and they turned out fantastic! We worked directly with Justin and Katy and they really made the engagement photo session very relaxing and comfortable. I would highly recommend Amber Kelley Photography for your wedding!

your most vivid recollection of those precious and wonderful moments. You cannot afford to make a mistake when choosing your photographer. That is why I started an exhaustive search to find the right photographers, and that’s when I met Amber and Zack. What a wonderful and cute couple. I really felt comfortable when talking to them, they are very professional and take the time to listen to what you want, while giving you some recommendations of what to do to get the best shots. I would recommend that you show them what style of pictures you want for your wedding (I showed them my Pinterest collection), and they will tell you exactly how, what and where to take those shots. I would definitely recommend that you go with the two photographers package. The main reason is that Amber and Zack are married, so they know very well how to work with each other and how to take the best shots. This is a small detail that people don’t notice, but one that will make a huge difference during your big day. Amber and Zack will guide you through the photoshoot process, so that your pictures look very natural, not artificial. And when they don’t tell you anything, don’t worry, they are taking pictures while you’re not looking and capturing all the emotions of that moment! We just got our first sneak peak of the wedding pictures, and they are just amazing! The crops, colors, shadows and composition are all perfect, neat and clean. They just did a wonderful job and I can’t wait to get the rest! Amber, Zack you are such a wonderful and cute couple. Thank you for making our wedding a fairytale and leaving us with an eternal memory of that moment :) Muriel.
