One of the best choices we made during wedding planning was hiring Amelia. Starting with our engagement shoot, she was easy to work with, made us feel comfortable, and put us in po...
ses that felt natural and created awesome photos. After, she got us our photos back so quickly. Our wedding day was no different, Amelia was on-time, professional, and super efficient, getting all of the photos we wanted quickly. She then got us back over 100 photos for our sneak peeks in less than 24 hours, and they're all amazing!!! I will be using Edelweiss Photos for any future photography needs. Hire her immediately, you will not be disappointed!
We had the pleasure of working with Amelia for not only our engagement photos but our wedding day as well.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Amelia, from early morning to ...
late at night , she was an absolute pleasure to work with and truly went above and beyond to capture every moment of our special day.
One thing I loved about Amelia (and simply can’t stop bragging about to everyone) was her ability to be everywhere at once without being intrusive. She has a way of sneaking around and getting shots of moments that you didn't even realize she was there for. It's like having a ninja photographer, in the best way possible!
Even during downtime, she was still coming up with creative shots and finding ways to capture the essence of our day. Amelia was an absolute delight to work with. She made everyone feel at ease and comfortable. I had tasked her with giving my husband a boudoir photo-book of me, and without giving away any sort of hint as to what the gift was, she tactfully got the groomsmen out of the room, to give him a little privacy and captured some great shots of his surprised face, she even sent me a video before we got to the venue for our first look.
Amelia sent us sneak peeks less than 12 hours later, which was such a treat since we were dying to see some photos from the night.
She sent the rest of our album as soon as we got back from our honeymoon- about two weeks later. We weren’t expecting the photos to be done for another couple weeks, so that was such an sweet surprise.
We simply cannot thank her enough. Amelia is so incredibly talented! Highly recommend her for not just your wedding but any and all of your photography needs!
Nothing but the best to say about Amelia! She is so talented at her craft and such a joy to work with. She gets down to business but is also super fun and personable. We had some B...
EAUTIFUL preview shots and are so excited to see the rest of what she captured of our wedding day. I also booked her for a boudoir shoot a month before to surprise the hubs and it was such a great opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera beforehand as well as greeting to learn the way Amelia works with her clients. She is honestly the best photographer I could have asked for, please hire her!
Amelia is so talented at what she does and captured all of the love on our wedding day! My husband and I LOVE all of our wedding photos and can now relive the day by looking throug...
h our photos! They were ALL amazing shots and well edited! I loved every single photo and it's so hard to choose my favorite. Amelia is so kind, friendly, and professional. It was such a pleasure to work with her and I'm so excited for our next shoot! Thank you so much Amelia! - Joanne & Kyle
Amelia is an incredible photographer with the ability to capture every moment in its essence. She's personable, friendly and skillful at her craft. You can't find a better photogra...
pher on the market!
Amelia brought us so much joy on our wedding day and when we got our photos back. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer or a better person to work with.
Thank you for everything, Amelia!
We were absolutely thrilled with Amelia and Edelweiss Photography! From our initial consultation through the end of our wedding, Amelia brought a level of guidance, ideas, detail, ...
professionalism and joy to the entire experience beyond what we could have hoped for. She took the time to get to know what made us, well, us in order to best capture our personalities and what moments we wanted to remember most from our wedding day. Amelia is also a master at keeping photos moving along and providing direction to friends and family - truly what I would equate to herding kittens. We laughed and cried our way through the gallery of photos, and are so appreciative for the details and moments she captured. Amelia is truly a partner to have on your wedding day team, and an artist behind the lens.
Amelia is just the absolute best! My husband and I were so lucky to have her in Rochester NY to photograph our intimate fall wedding. She is the sweetest human and having her calmi...
ng presence on our day just made things feel lighter. All of the guests raved about how sweet she is. And that girl is talented-wow, we were blown away by our “sneak peak” pictures!! I would hire Amelia again in a heartbeat-highly recommend!!
Amelia was the most wonderful photographer! She was so sweet and kind and very easy to work with. I had to postpone my wedding multiple times because of COVID and Amelia rolled wit...
h all and was there for me. I'm so thankful to have had her as my wedding photographer. She did an incredible job on my wedding photos, I'm seriously obsessed with all the photos she took! I can't praise her enough! She is so worth it and will do a great job at any wedding.
Our experience with Amelia was amazing start to finish. She is so sweet and kind, I was immediately comfortable with her. It was like talking with a friend, so easy and fun! When t...
he day came she was organized and ready. This girl ripped her pants!!! And still carried on and got the most amazing photos!! Amelia went above and beyond for us. Not only were our photos spectacular but we had a small hiccup with our videographer ( no connection to her) the videographer sent newbies and thankfully we had Amelia. It was not in her job description but she helped the new videographers on what to film and where to be. She knows what she’s doing and is such a natural at it!! My husband is not a photogenic kind of guy and she caught the best moments with him and got him to smile without it looking forced!!! We would give more than 5 stars if possible!!
Amelia was wonderful to work with from the very start! She is easy going, full of creative ideas, and such a great photographer. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photo...
grapher for any reason. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and will be cherished for the rest of our lives!
From the moment we met Amelia, we felt so comfortable with her and it was a great fit. The engagement photos were so beautiful that it was hard to decide which ones to use on our s...
ave-the-dates. Some of our other friends were jealous at how beautiful they turned out! When it came time for the wedding, she captured our love in such an amazing way! Her second shooter was there for all of the big moments to make sure that they got everything. Any special type of photo we wanted, she made sure to get it in. She had sneak peek photos online within a couple of days and then the rest of the edits were to us in a few weeks. I can't imagine waiting months and months for photos! Her pricing was so reasonable considering the excellent quality of her work. The photo book that came with our package was the best. You don't realize until after the wedding how tired you are and creating a book takes a lot of work so it was so nice to have one sent to us all done so we could show everyone. I can't say enough good things about her. You won't be disappointed!
Amelia is AMAZING! And honestly, that is an understatement. My husband and I felt awkward doing engagement pictures but knew it would give us experience with our photographer (and ...
professional pictures, in general) before our big day, and we wanted to use them for our save the dates. Amelia made them feel so natural and comfortable, not to mention they were absolutely gorgeous! On our day she was fun and had our whole wedding party enjoying pictures. Her imagination is endless and she will make your day more than you could hope for! Thank you Amelia for a lifetime of memories!
Amelia was wonderful to work with, always pleasant and punctual! She was extremely organized, and didn’t miss a detail. She really understood what we were going for, and delivered ...
amazing photos. I am so grateful to have found her for our wedding!!
Our first daughter was married in January 2019 to a fine young man. Amelia and her team did a fabulous job. They are discreet, flexible, easy going and professional. We will abs...
olutely employ her services again when our other children wed!
Amelia is one of the most creative people I have ever met. I had so much peace knowing she was taking our photos. She had so many ideas and brought ours to life as well. We had so ...
much fun with her. During the midst of a hectic day she will be sure to stop and make you laugh. I would choice Edelweiss Photography again and again!
Amelia at Edelweiss Photography is outgoing, friendly, and very professional! Before our wedding day, Amelia went over specific details about the day and if we didn't have the deta...
ils at the moment she was patient in waiting to get those details from us. You are able to send her pictures from Pinterest or the web of what specific photos you want on your special day and she takes them and guides you through it on the day. The way she edits her photos are elegant and not too edited, but just perfect! She takes many pictures that truly capture the real and authentic moments of your special day. I absolutely love the pictures of my girls and I getting ready at my house before the wedding. I love that she took photos of each detail that I thought about in my wedding like centerpieces, our bride and groom glasses, signs, the head table greenery, and even the DJ's set up! You truly feel like a princess as she helps you carry your wedding dress to the next location for photos and your bouquet while you do a different pose. I totally recommend Edelweiss Photography for all your photography needs because you will end up with amazing photos that you can look at and cherish forever!
Amelia is an incredible photographer and so fun to work with. She makes her couples feel so comfortable and joyful. In addition to all this, Amelia captures beautiful and creative ...
shots--truly telling a story of the day. I cannot recommend her enough!
Amelia is SO talented! She has already sent us some of our sneak peaks and I am in love. I can't wait to see the rest because I know I will be obsessed! Her vision and attention to...
detail make her pictures astonishing. We had a large wedding party (22 rowdy people) and her efficiency and ability to organize us all was not only impressive but made pictures so simple and one of the easiest parts of the day! She is awesome, I recommend her to everyone I talk to!
Amelia is absolutely amazing! She was the photographer for our wedding in April 2017, the photographer for my brother's wedding in September 2018 and she will be the photographer ...
for my best friend's wedding this coming August. I have nothing but good things to say about Amelia, we absolutely love all of our wedding pictures. Not only did she perfectly capture all of the formal poses we requested, she also captured many unscripted in-the-moment shots throughout the day. She is easy to work with, organized and exudes positive and calm energy on the day of the wedding (which is very welcome when wedding day craziness ensues). I highly recommend Edelweiss Photography, you will not be disappointed!!
Best photographer out there! Amelia did our wedding along with a second shooter (don’t recall his name) and both were amazing. Everything was well organized when we met to discuss ...
what we wanted, price was amazing, barely even noticed they were there during the ceremony and reception, and the photos were everything we could’ve asked for.
Amelia is great! She truly captured special moments from our wedding day. She was helpful by saying cues when we were posing for pictures, and her candids are beautiful! She was pr...

Amelia was the best photographer we could have ever asked for! She was on top of everything. Not only did the photos turn out beautifully, she had so many good ideas for pictures a...
nd fully understood everything we expected. She let us do what we wanted to do and came up with so many creative ideas of her own when we needed them! She was extremely punctual and attentive and it was such a relief on that already stressful day to not have to "manage" her and worry about that part of the wedding because she had it under control! I would 100% recommend her over and over!
Where do I start? First my wedding was crazy. We had too many in our bridal party we wanted everyone to feel included, as any bride who is married knows the more in a wedding party...
was not the marrier. Everything was a tad stressful and dealing with so many other people’s emotions on top of it the typical wedding venue issues, flowers, djs and so on. When I stop and think about it, Amelia never had us worried, stressed, or had any issues. She did what she said she would. She was reliable, sweet, kind and straight wonderful. The day of the wedding she handled my stress with kindness and handled my large wedding party with no issue at all. She stayed all night and made my husband and I feel special. Our photos turned out beautifully and unique. She got them to me so fast I was thrilled and they were edited and didn’t look rushed. I would recommend her and her prices are wonderful. You don’t need to spend over and beyond because you’re scared your wedding pictures won’t turn out great, you need a great photographer and that’s what she is.
Amelia photographed my daughter’s wedding and she did a beautiful job. She arrived early in the day, for pre-ceremony photos and stayed into the evening, through the reception. She...
was prepared and organized, and also very flexible if someone requested additional photos be taken at the last minute. Her attention to detail is outstanding. She has an eye not only for classic, organized photos, but for fun, non traditional photos too. The photographs were beautiful. I highly recommend Edelweiss Photography to anyone looking for just the right person to capture their special event.
Amelia was the most fantastic, laid-back photographer and we loved having her there at our wedding! She made everyone feel so comfortable with taking pictures. She was very flexibl...

I do not have enough kind things to say about Amelia. Apart from being incredibly talented, she was so kind and made my husband (who hates getting his picture taken) and I feel inc...

y, the booklet she prepared for us contained some of our best highlights, and she worked with us to provide every request we had. She showed up on time to every pre-wedding meeting and spent the entire day with us during both the ceremony and the reception afterwards. Amelia has a good price point for her services. She is extremely personable and we could not be happier with her work. Highly recommend!
