Hello! I'm Amy Hoyt, and I'm a skydiving lemon lover, a full-time career fire-fighter, and Mom of 2. I love weddings and celebration more than anything on the planet. I am the photographer that is scaling the side of a mountain with 50 lbs of gear, and also the one on dance floor dancing...and shooting at your reception.
I have been photographing professionally for 25 years. I want every human to see themselves as beautiful as I see them.
I see and highlight beauty everywhere I go. My style is playful, spontaneous , and magical.

Where to start? First of all, HIRE Amy! She is a beautiful human inside and out. Her energy is gorgeous and her authenticity divine, and the whole Lemonwing team was an amazing addition to our wedding experience. Amy photographed our wedding and captured the most stunning candid moments, and built an immediate partnership with the videographer (who she hadnโt ever met before) so they could work in tandem throughout the day. She was seamlessly a part of every event transition and worked quickly on the family portraits so we could enjoy the reception as much as possible! We also did a post-wedding photoshoot with her which was so much fun and super high energy. I didnโt have a professional available to do my hair, because I tried to re-do the wedding day style myself it came undone right before the photo session was supposed to begin. I was at a loss for what to do but Amy was unfazed and went straight into problem solving mode. She sat me down and literally styled my hair in 5 minutes using a set of pins she had in her car! It looked like it had been done by a professional. As for the shoot itself, it felt like we were shooting a magazine cover for non-traditional weddings! We even got in the ocean in our wedding clothes and Amy and team were wonderful at directing us but also just letting the vibe unfold. The photos turned out so lovely and we will treasure them forever. She had second photographers with her for both shoots and they brought such amazing energy and even got my husband, who openly doesnโt love his photo being taken, to truly enjoy the experience. Thank you Amy!!!

We absolutely loved our entire experience working with Amy! Her enthusiasm brought so much joy to our conversations and photoshoots with her, and she made us feel comfortable and relaxed despite having never done a professional photoshoot. We knew from our first conversation with her that she would bring the positive energy we wanted on our wedding day, which is important given how much time you spend with your photographer. For our initial photoshoot, we chose to do a first look and private vows. She hiked with us up to Winchester mountain and even helped carry our heavy wedding outfits. It was incredibly special and it felt like we had a friend there with us, who also happened to be an amazing photographer!
Her eye for detail, storytelling through photos, and capturing real moments is what set her apart from the other photographers we considered. We loved her approach - she treats every wedding as unique and adapts her photo editing style to match the colors, vibe, and personality of the couple, which came through beautifully in our photos.
For the wedding weekend, she brought her adorable and talented kids who also took fantastic photos. I lost track of how many times her daughter helped me with my dress! The guests were also so impressed with them and their eye for detail - they were a really sweet addition to the day.
Amy took every photo on our shot list, and also remained flexible and relaxed as the schedule inevitably changed. She also surprised us with gorgeous photos of our rings and other wedding details that we hadnโt even asked for. We received our photos insanely fast, months before most other photographers we considered. Thank you, Amy!!

If you want a wedding photographer who will get to know you and your partner, and add so much personality and beauty to photos, look no further.
Amy was a DREAM to work with. From our first zoom call to the wedding day, she made us feel special, unique, and important. She was a blast to have in the room while I got ready, set up a perfect first look, and just had so many amazing ideas.
On top of her artistry, Amy is a really wonderful human. I could not be happier that we chose her and I guarantee you will feel the same way!

Amy was fantastic. She was very adaptable, our wedding venue and time changed at the last minute and she was able to make it work effortlessly. She was able to capture the big moments and the small moments of the ceremony. It was great to be able to look at the photos and see the moments she captured because we were so busy being in the middle of it that we didn't notice them the first time. She did a great job of working with us to bring out "our good side". Very professional and easily relatable, felt like I was working with an old friend.

Amy and Tony went above and beyond for my wedding!!! We actually had them shoot and edit a pre recorded wedding video for us that we showed at the reception. It made the whole night and was so well done. I told her I was a bit shy around the camera, so she made sure to take a bunch of candid shots that turned out beautiful. Cannot recommend her enough.

Amy is an absolute gem of a human and a true artist with the camera. She is highly communicative and called to discuss my vision before we decided to work together. Her enthusiasm is contagious and she captured such beautiful images of our day. After the wedding, she met us for a getaway honeymoon shoot on a ferry that was so special.
I can't wait to have another event where I can hire her. She's a joy to work with. Hire her!!!

Hiring Amy for our destination wedding in AZ was by far the best decision we could have ever made. Her passion, her energy and unbelievable talent are unmatched by anyone I have ever met. I told her my vision for each of our 3 shoots (engagement, boudoir, wedding) - she blew our minds with each of them. Talk about someone who will do anything to get the shot- thats Amy in a nutshell.
I said sunset pics in the desert, she literally had us running through the desert yelling "2 minutes til sunset GO, GO, GO "
I flew to AZ for a secret unconventional "boudoir" shoot for a surprise wedding gift, she took me into the desert and shot me ON TOP of a C-130s plane!!
I told her we wanted break-taking views of our Venue that captured all I love about beautiful AZ and she has blown our minds once again. On our wedding day her& her team tirelessly worked for 11 hours in a record breaking early May heat wave, it was 108 degrees ( 20+ degrees warmer than it should've been)we were melting & in my 40lb dress I was melting faster, she wasn't phased one bit, she brought her amazing energy and this vibe that kept me smiling &calmed me instantly. She and her team were so prepared even brought me my fave drinks to cool off with & touch up makeup ( thank god because my makeup girl forgot my touch up kit) and were just much SO fun to work with. I cannot express how much I adore Amy- not only is she an amazing photographer she is an amazing person & friend. The lengths to which she will go to get the shot & make and capture your vision are just incredible.Nothing will stop this Unicorn photographer from getting the shot. She worked seamlessly with our vendors.She was always available to talk, I think we talked more than I did to my bridesmaids LOL. I continue to get compliments from all of my guests& vendors not only on our pics but about how amazing she was &the energy she brought to our special day and I cant wait to work with her again!

My husband and I love Amy so much and could not be more pleased with our experience working with her! We were looking for unique images, bold colors, and a true snapshot of the joy and excitement of the day. Amy did all that and more. Her energy is out of this world and her photos and creativity can't be matched. She cares so deeply about her clients and her art and it shows - she showed up with a ladder and rolled around in the grass like it was no big deal. My dad called her "aces" and he is so right! Our photos are STUNNING and I could not recommend Amy and her team more highly.

Amy and Kristina were our photographers for our wedding in Sedona, AZ. We are from Chicago and planning a destination wedding can sometimes be stressful but Amy was absolutely wonderful with making the the photography portion stress free by staying in touch with me before the wedding and making sure she knew exactly what we wanted for our photos. My husband and I could not be happier with how they turned out. I can't even put into words how amazing they look!! Amy was very personable, funny, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Their professionalism and quality of work makes them highly recommended for any celebration!

I chose Lemon Wing because I wanted original artsy one of a kind photos. I did not want run of the mill photos everyone has seen a thousand times. As soon as we met her I knew she was the person for the job. She has a huge personality, very upbeat and high energy. She listened and took notes during our first meeting so we could make sure we were on the same page. She even checked in with me a couple of times beforehand to see what we were going to wear and answer my questions. We shot our engagement photos in downtown Phoenix. Amy was on the ground, up on a step latter, in the middle of the street and even had a helper to carry around lighting. We got different perspectives, action shots, and plays on lighting and textures. We walked around Phoenix and she helped create on the spot moments which is a skill in and of itself. She's professional while also being fun and energetic. She also uses high quality equipment so the images are top notch. I saw a sneak peek of our photos and am already in love. She's one of a kind and I'll be using her for my wedding as well. I hope to also use her for all my other major life events!

Amy is the most amazing photographer. She is creative and artistic. She made me feel comfortable and at ease at our photo shoot. She had the best team with her to do my makeup and hair. She was very organized and kept things running smoothly between outfit changes. Her super fun personality kept everything fun and relaxing. I already have her scheduling me for a family photo shoot. You can tell this is her passion. I can not begin to express with words what an amazing experience this was.
