About this vendor
We are Amy & Steven a husband + wife team with a romantic, light, & airy style and we love getting to know (and spoiling!) our couples.
I'm Amy, and I'm the lead wedding photographer, boudoir photographer, editor, blog + email writer, and I'm obsessed with everything tulle. Steven in my trusted, devoted minion, who second shoots at weddings and carries all the heavy things.
We are preferred photographers for Weddings in Houston Magazine, the #1 bridal magazine in Houston, and have been published more than 75 times in the last year alone. (sorry, but we gotta brag!) We also just won the prestigious Platinum Circle Editor's Choice award for being one of the top 12 most published photographers in the COUNTRY!!!! We love sharing our couple's stories and photos with the world.
At the Boudoir by Amy studio, located in La Porte Texas, we include professional hair + makeup, a detailed prep guide, retouching on every image, and FULL access to our $35k Client Closet that has over 1100 lingerie sets in sizes XXS-6XL! We have bodysuits, angel wings, corsets, garters, red bottom heels, and even gowns for you to dress up in! My style of boudoir is VERY different from what other photographers do. It's even been featured in Weddings in Houston Magazine! My boudoir is very light, airy, and romantic. I have an amazing studio with tufted furniture, backdrops, and beautiful sets. Boudoir is the perfect way to pamper yourself and makes the BEST wedding gift! To get more info go to www.BoudoirByAmy.net
We have tons of tulle skirts + gowns that we loan to our brides for engagement sessions at no cost. They are so much fun to dress up in! How many opportunities does a girl get to twirl around in a tulle skirt? (answer: not nearly enough!)
Whether it's the engagement session, boudoir, or the wedding day, I'll walk you through posing step by step so, even if you've never been in front of the camera before, you'll look amazing + natural. We’ll do fun prompts to get genuine candid emotions and spend most of the session laughing and having a blast.
In my 13-year long career I've photographed hundreds of weddings, as well as fashion, boudoir, maternity, photojournalism & even a POTUS (twice). I also teach and mentor other professional photographers. Our images are bright, timeless, & genuine and we make everything a fun experience.

Hiring Amy was a bit of a splurge for our budget, but it was 1000% worth it! Starting with our engagement shoot (included in the price), she was great at making both my now husband and me comfortable. She's great at coaching through poses and making small changes that produce great photos. My husband is pretty camera shy and she got him looking great!
At our wedding, she and her team (shoutout to Hunter and Lily) took great shots of every event and every person. Again, she did a great job coaching us through poses that made us look great and made sure everyone knew what to do. We got our sneak peek of our pictures two or three days later, and the full album just a couple weeks later! Every shot is absolutely beautiful and light and airy and magical! As an added bonus, Amy is also a FANTASTIC boudoir photographer and my shoot with her gave me more confidence in myself than anything else I've ever done. The album I made from that made a great wedding day present for my husband. :)
If you like light and airy, she is your go to. Her wealth of knowledge about lighting, shadows, position placement, etc is nothing short of amazing. She handled a bridal party of 16 like it was a piece of cake. Photos are all you have left after your wedding, and I’m so happy she is who I trusted. I also received my sneak peek wedding photos just a few days after the wedding day. Even though it’s only a sneak peek, I’m in love with them already. Also, she does Boudoir By Amy VIP Members Lounge that I 10/10 recommend. She has over 800 pieces of lingerie to chose from and a perfect studio set up to make you feel confident and comfortable.
Amy was amazing from start to finish! We selected a package that included our engagement session, a bridal session, and 10 hours of photography on our wedding day. The pictures for all 3 were absolutely beautiful and I have gotten endless compliments. Amy was able to capture exactly what I was looking for and I could not be happier with how our pictures turned out. Amy was very easy to work with and super helpful, offering to assist with wedding day timeline, directing people on wedding day, etc.
I can't recommend Amy enough!
First - 5 stars does not give this woman justice! Amy did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I cannot stop staring at any them!! Aside from the sheer beauty of the shots, Amy was a dream to work with. She goes above and beyond to deliver on the day of and well-after. Most of my friends had to wait MONTHS to get their wedding photos and Amy had mine - all 975 - in 2 WEEKS!!! I couldn't believe it!! And, of course, I loved all 975 of them. Don't even think about this anymore - book her today! Cannot recommend her enough! I will definitely be using her again - hopefully for boudoir soon :)
We cannot say enough great things about Amy. To start the quality of her work is outstanding. Her light and airy style is very clean and timeless. She knows how to get the perfect shot. As someone who has very high standards and usually particular about quality, Amy instantly understood our taste and needed no direction. This alone is a reason to book her for your sessions! My husband and I trusted her judgement and appreciated her easy demeanor while directing us for shots. She was incredible about commanding the group and getting things done efficiently. This is very helpful when trying to coordinate large groups. Aside from her work, she is enjoyable to be around and made the process fun! A huge bonus is she is very prompt on returning photos. We were not expecting to get our sneak peak back for a while and had them within 5 days of the wedding. All of our friends were asking how we got them back to quickly - all Amy! She is a true gem to work with. If I ever need another photographer she is the first person I’m calling!
I am a wedding coordinator (DFINE EVENTS) and had the pleasure of working with Amy and her team. They were, fun professional, and just a total joy to work with. As a planner, it's very comforting to work with a photographer that can take initiative and problem solve when things come up! I never worried about her or her team and I couldn't have done it without her!
Toward the end of the evening, Amy showed me a sneak peak of a few photos and they were STUNNING! She also showed the Bride and Groom and they were overwhelmed with happiness!
Highly Recommend!
I’ve never felt more beautiful than with Amy. She knows and loves her job making it a true pleasure to work with her. Our engagement, wedding and bridal photos are the epitome of timeless. She gives such great options to keep your special moments easy. The best wedding decision I made was hiring Amy… then the actual husband part! I only hope to work with her again!
Amy was one of my absolute favorite vendors. I considered a lot of photographers with the “light and airy” vibe, which was important to me. When I started talking to Amy, I immediately knew she was the right fit. And I am SO GLAD I trusted my gut. She is energetic, incredibly creative, fun, and unbelievably talented. Amy took our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, and our day-of wedding pictures. At every turn, Amy exceeded my expectations. The photos were everything I could have hoped for - but so much better. Not only does she take beautiful photos, she also is prompt and efficient. Our entire album of wedding photos was returned in two weeks (while many of my friends waited 5-6 months for their albums). I will use Amy as my photographer for every major life event going forward (maternity, Christmas, family photos, etc). I cannot recommend Amy enough!!! Absolutely wonderful.
I cannot recommend Amy enough for your wedding photos! After rescheduling our wedding twice due to COVID we finally got to have our celebration on our one year anniversary. For us we were so excited for two things: being with family and friends, and capturing this special day to remember throughout our lives. Amy is a joy to work with and made us both so comfortable, posing us for all of the perfect shots. Her style is light and dreamy and exactly what we were looking for. She is professional, responds quickly to correspondence, and delivered hundreds of beautiful photos for us to share and cherish for years to come.
When i was looking for a photographer for our wedding in was in the midst of lockdown. I found amy thru Instagram and completely fell in love with her style. Put meeting had to be thru the phone and from that one phone call her personality beamed thru i knew she was the one. Víctor and i had never taken professional photos before and she was so sweet and was amazing at guiding us on all our poses. With our package we got an engagement photo session and i swear we legit look like professional models, not to mention she had these tulle skirts that look like come from a Disney movie. On our actual wedding date she was so accommodating she knew how to work so well with all our wedding party making them feel so comfortable and confident in from of them camera. All the pictures turned out so amazing i am completely in love with them! I cannot recommend Amy enough! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, Amy was amazing to work with. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, she was the most professional and flexible photographer to work with. Amy truly went above and beyond to help customize our package. She’s even giving us a free canvas because a friend is using her for their wedding. We can’t speak highly enough of Amy and truly can’t wait to get our final shots from our big day!
Amy is awesome and we are in LOVE with our wedding photos! Book her now! She makes the picture taking process so easy, relaxed, and fun and this is a must for your fiance/husband! Her and her husband were a blast to hang out with all day and delivered beautiful pictures that I'll cherish forever!
I don’t even know where to start because I never expected a photographer to make such a big impact on our wedding. Our engagement & wedding wouldn’t have been the same without Amy. For starters the photos were STUNNING! She makes you feel confident & Comfortable. She has a way of making any background you are standing in front of seem beautiful. She captured so many photos at our wedding of people and details my husband and I didn’t even get a chance to see. She was a dream to work with and does anything to get the perfect shot. She truly cares about you and loves what she does (which shows in every single image)! We will use Amy for any and every photo session we need taken from here on out!
Amy was our photographer for our engagement photos and during our wedding. Logan and I were nervous before our engagement photos because we’ve never had professional photos taken before. Amy made us feel so comfortable right away! We had so much fun and the pictures were amazing! The pictures were ready within a few weeks too! I’d definitely recommend her for any photos you need!
Besides being a stand out photographer, Amy has the best attitude and really adds so much fun and energy to your wedding day! She did so much more than just take pictures and honestly that made having her as our photographer even better. We absolutely loved our pictures and got every single one of them only two weeks after the wedding! If you are looking for a fun person and some light and airy photos, Amy is your gal!
I can't say enough good things about this wonderful photographer! Amy worked with me during my boudoir photos to make them effortless, easy, and beautiful. Fast forward a few months and she captured the most beautiful, graceful photos of everyone at my wedding. She was very helpful and flexible when we had to originally move our date due to covid. I will be using her in the future!!
I cannot put into words how amazing our wedding photographs turned out. Amy is awesome! We had the pleasure of working with Amy for our engagement photos as well as our wedding. Everything was outstanding. My husband isn't big on taking pictures and Amy made him feel so comfortable the entire time. She is so much fun to work with, I can't recommend her enough.
Amy was absolutely fantastic! From the beginning she made everything so easy. I had so many questions and all of her emails were filled with information and tips! Amy did our engagement, my bridal and our wedding and we were speechless with every album. She is kind, professional and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She was so patient with me as the wedding day got closer and I had a million questions. Amy captured many significant moments on my wedding day and I will forever be thankful for those photos. Amy is so talented and you will be so lucky to have her be apart of your special day!
-Cole & Shelby
Amy is absolutely fabulous! Her knowledge of lighting and posing is amazing and there’s no one more fun to have hanging around on your big day!
There are not enough words in the English language to express how grateful I am for Amy and Steven. We knew immediately after leaving our interview with Amy that she was going to be our photographer.
As far as packages go, every package Amy offers includes an engagement session so you can get comfortable in front of the camera and in front of her. We had never taken professional photos as a couple before this shoot, and I am so grateful that they take the time to make sure you know what you’re doing before the big day. She also helped me customize the package we chose to meet our needs.
She values her work, your expectations, AND the final product. The location we used for my bridals relies heavily on natural light, and it began POURING rain soon after we began. Amy stopped our shoot, gave me the option to continue with the rest of our session, but highly suggested we schedule a reshoot for a sunnier day. When we rescheduled, she took the cost of the venue booking to make things easier on me AND took time out of her weekend (which are typically reserved for weddings) to make sure we got a perfect shoot with perfect weather.
Our wedding day could not have been captured by a better team. Amy and Steven got along with everyone in the wedding party and family, danced right alongside us, and still managed to capture EVERYTHING. They took care of me when we found out I had a fever and made sure we were taken care of all night. You will never meet two better photographers or people. My family and friends are STILL raving about them, and I am currently trying to figure out what my next reason to book them is going to be!
Looking for a wedding photographer was probably what I spent the most time and effort researching. I was so happy with my decision to work with Amy. She was so amazing to work with! We were both initially nervous at our engagement session, but Amy is so laid back and knows exactly what she's doing which help ease our nerves. The engagement photos came quickly and we loved all of them! On the wedding day, Amy was a true professional. You can tell she has done this so many times and is great at getting people's attention and keeping everything moving through all of the bridal party and family photos. We received our photos quickly and again, love allll of them! I highly recommend Amy to any bride looking for a fantastic wedding photographer!!
Amy and Stephen were awesome to work with! We loved all of our pictures and every time we look at them we smile! Both of them made us felt at ease through the day and made it so easy to work with them! Their work is amazing and Amy really knows what she is talking about! I highly recommend!!!
Amy and her husband Steven are amazing humans! We couldn't have asked for better people to work with for our wedding day. Amy captured amazing shots from all of our sessions (engagement, wedding day, post-wedding bridals/family) and I couldn't be happier with them. I smile anytime I look at them.
I’m a bridal makeup artist and hairstylist and a model also. I had a big experience working with Amy as a stylist and as a model as well.
I can’t find enough words to say how amazing she is!
She sees the right angles, she picks the best locations, she sees and shows the best you!
Amy is very talented, creative and she is a nice person also.
It’s so important to feel comfortable during a Photoshoot. So Amy is the best.
Working with Amy was extremely easy. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of in regards to photos and the pictures turned out amazing. She even got my husband who hates taking pictures to lighten up and enjoy the process. I am very happy with all the photos and she did a wonderful job of capturing the day.
Her photos feel light and airy, which is the style I love. The photos feel a little magical and that's how your wedding is supposed to feel, so I get that same feeling every time I look back at the photos.
I knew photography would be my hardest thing to find for three reasons: 1) I needed a minimum of 10 hours, 2) Budget, although I had a fair amount I knew it still might be a little on the low side, and 3) I wasn’t hiring a videographer so I wanted this person to be everything and more. After hours of searching for photographers, I found Amy and knew it was meant to be! The photos she had on her website alone were enough to make me want to hire her without meeting her. But, after meeting with her cool and funny self I couldn’t help but be sold! If you want light and airy, she is your girl!!! She gives a free engagement session with each package, responded to all of my emails in less than an hour, and will literally have your photos ready for you in two weeks or less. She also uses a second shooter that captures everything from the side angle that you wouldn’t even have realized you needed till you receive your photos. She’s so good at what she does that you’ll have so many amazing pictures that you will love… and won’t even know what to do with them all. I highly recommend Amy and hope that I can use her in the future!
Choose Amy Maddox for your photographer!
Trust me you will not regret it! We are/were a double bride wedding and just happened to come by her services on the internet (magic of google), she is new to the area but has been a photographer for MANY years. From the very first email, she was quick to respond and always polite and encouraging. I emailed her shortly after we booked her, with my concerns. See, my now wife is not a huge fan of being photographed and I was worried that she might be a little uncomfortable in front of the camera with Amy, but Amy reassured me that everything was going to be ok and that she would make sure to keep it fun. Amy then set us up with a engagement photoshoot so that she could get to know us as a couple (FYI this is genius cause then you know what to expect on your crazy wedding day, one less thing to stress about). Amy helped us pick a location to take our engagement pictures and drove all the way out to Enchanted Rock for a two-hour session, with one outfit change. Now….. Remember I told you that my wife doesn’t like pictures. But you couldn’t even tell from the pictures or in that moment. Amy made us both feel at ease with her quick wit, confidence and sassy humor. She helped us find the right poses and made sure to keep it light and airy. My wife was even enjoying herself! She captured us perfectly and the great part was, that we now had pictures to use for our invitations, save the dates and our wedding website (something we hadn’t really thought about). Engagement pictures were a big success and we got over 300 AMAZING pictures to keep and use however, we wanted (within reason).
Next was the wedding! Phew WHAT A DAY!!!! It feels like I blinked and it was over. As I assume most weddings are, the whole day was a whirlwind that started bright and early at 8AM. Amy came around 11AM scooped the location and started right away taking pictures. She came dressed for the occasion with her handsome beaux (husband/2nd photographer). They are an awesome team who both see things a little differently which made for two angles/ideas/styles of photos. Amy as the head photographer (obviously) and Steven catching the more candid/not looking photos. Amy helped with SOOOO many things outside of taking photos. (FYI if you don’t have this already, make sure you have someone that isn’t in your party as a go to, someone to round up the troops and get them where they are supposed to be, if it wasn’t for Amy, one of the bride-mans boyfriend and my sister-in-law, the wedding would NOT have gone as smoothly and it still wasn’t “perfect” haha). Amy directed the whole symphony (aka wedding) and made sure everyone put their phones away as to not kill my wedding photos and then dealt with my family (imagine trying to herd cats….yep that’s my family). She interacted with my family and stayed positive threw the chaos and stayed epically professional. The rest of the night, she took pictures of all the little moments including my crazy dogs, cake cutting, first dance and the exit and left around 9PM. I honestly could not have asked for anything better. She really is amazing at what she does and in general just a beautiful human being. Lastly, in little under two weeks we had HUNDREDS of beautiful pictures to look threw. I cannot thank Amy and her husband enough. It truly was a day to remember, and she captured all the beautiful moments perfectly.
I have worked with Amy on several occasions and she and her husband are AMAZING! She is always super sweet, professional and an absolute joy to work with! Not to mention her finished product always exceeds expectations. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!
You can stop your search here -- Amy Maddox is everything you've been looking for! My husband and I hired Amy to take couples photos of us and were blown away with the beautiful results. We were looking for someone who could grasp the essence of "us"; so that we wouldn't look uncomfortable or stiff, like in other photos we've had taken before by different photographers. I wouldn't describe myself or my husband as photogenic but Amy did an excellent job instructing poses and giving tips on what to do with our hands, how to stand, etc. If a pose felt awkward, Amy was receptive and worked with us to capture a moment that felt more natural. When we received our final images, we couldn't believe how beautiful we looked. The sunlight complimented us in each shot, giving us an airy glow. Amy's photography style is timeless; we will look back on these photos several years from now and still love them.
Amy is the best! She's got an incredible eye, and I wouldn't let anyone else photograph me, period. Our photos are amazing!
We really enjoyed working with Amy. I had my bridal session, engagement session, and wedding pictures taken by her. She was really amazing and professional through the whole process. She gave us tips and was very understandable and flexible with us. We received our galleries very quick and really enjoyed every picture. She is an amazing photographer and her work speaks by itself. We loved our wedding pictures, each one of them, she made us hard to pick which ones should go to the printed album. She also has great packages that you can customize according to your budget.
Amy did such an amazing job for our wedding and engagement shots! We both found her extremely personable, likeable and very professional. It is quite apparent that she has a great bit of experience doing this. Everything from initial contacts to working out minor details to delivering the photos was timely and done with a smile. She likes to use herself and an assistant for the event and it is definitely worth it. They are able to capture different angles of the same moment which will have different natural lighting and effect which was amazing to see. I believe one of the things that really caught our attention was how well and effortlessly she was able to frame up a shot for maximum effect. Her quality of work was so impressive, we had a very hard time choosing which shots to frame. We highly recommend Amy without reservation. The quality is definitely worth it.
From our own experience, Amy is one of the best wedding photographers you can get in Houston! Amy is professional, friendly, and hard working. My husband and I were not really used to posing but during our engagement session, Amy made it so easy for us to get comfortable in front of the camera and the pictures turned out amazing! At our reception, Amy did a great job paying attention to the details and staying focus the whole night. We got pictures taken with all of our guests and everybody loved them! Moreover, I gotta say I LOVE her speed of work. She gave us our engagement photos in 3 days and our reception photos in 1 week! We were really impressed! Working with Amy was a wonderful experience, and we were so happy that we chose her to capture one of the most important moments of our lives.
I had a wonderful experience with Amy!! She is very thorough and detailed and knew what kind of photos we wanted. On the day of the wedding she surprised me by arriving early and her and her second shooter made us all feel at ease. She goes above and beyond to get the most beautiful photos, and she is very personable and friendly. I couldn’t have imagined a better person to capture one of the best days of my life. I highly recommend!!
I cannot recommend Amy enough. No matter what your photography needs are--but especially for a wedding! There is so much to stress about regarding a wedding so I was relieved that all of my dealings with Amy were a breeze. It was such a relief leading up to my big day, that I knew I was in good hands and could trust her to capture all of our happy memories. She is a really clear communicator, helpful and clearly has a true passion for what she does. She will go to great lengths to get the perfect shot and will put you at ease even if you have zero experience being photographed. She will direct you to adjust your positioning to avoid looking stiff or overly posed and elicits genuine smiles/laughter out of you. All of this makes for beautiful pictures that will last a lifetime.
She has such an eye for making anyone look like a million dollars, great vision and gives great direction. An absolute pleasure to work with!!
Amy was our photographer at our wedding, and she was extremely dedicated to getting the “perfect picture”, she truly captured the essence of our special day! She was super easy to work with, and flexible! She provided great direction for our poses and the pictures turned out amazing!
Extremely professional, creative and an absolute pleasure to work with and with amazing rates for their work. Our pictures turned out stunningly, and she worked miracles on our odd requests. Would definitely reccommend.
Amy is one of the most solid and professional photographers in the business. Her broad experience in fashion, commercial, and event photography is the perfect combination for weddings. She makes the bride feel like a super model while capturing the ceremony and reception as if there are three of her. It is amazing how she can seem to always be in the right place at the right time without ever being pushy or obtrusive. It's like having a ninja shoot your wedding.
The thing that really makes her stand out, to me, is the relationships she cultivates with the couple. She takes the time to really get to know the bride and groom as individuals and as a couple and then uses that to capture images that are really you. No stock "Olin Mills" images from Amy. A session with Amy Maddox is a luxury and once in a lifetime experience on your once in a lifetime day.
we loved her work so much we’re hiring her again!
Amy is outstanding! Her ideas are fresh and while she is a true professional, she makes others feel at ease during the photography shoot. She is a pleasure to work with and covered many of our campus events expertly and provided us with just what we needed! Love her!
She's a really great photographer!
We are soooo happy we chose Amy as our wedding photographer! We had a lot of specific pics we wanted and she got every one of them! We were so happy with our engagement pics too and all of our wedding guests said they loved the engagement photo slide show at our wedding.
Amy is really great and we had a lot of fun working with her. She managed to make me look younger and thinner!
Amy took our engagement photos and did an amazing job!! She was very creative and choose the perfect location and poses for us. She took tons of shots for us to choose from and made sure to catch some candid moments too. She was quick and efficient which was great when you have a slightly grumpy fiancé! I would absolutely recommend Amy to anyone, she’s truly great!
I was fortunate enough to find Amy Maddox to photograph my wedding. Amy has a way about putting people at ease and making you feel beautiful. Everyone loved her and she took some amazing shots. We were very pleased with our photos and would highly recommend her to anyone.
Amy is such an amazing photographer. She took the most beautiful photos on our wedding day and we got the pictures back within a week! I thought it would take months. She was so patient with me and answered all of my millions of questions and walked me through the whole process. We love her and are going back to her for our anniversary photos!
Amy did a phenomenal job capturing pictures of my wife and I. She has a natural eye for what poses, lighting, and setting that will capture a moment that expresses the connection you have with your spouse. She was encouraging throughout the entire photo shoot which made the love between my wife and I pop even more in the photos. She was very efficient in finalizing and delivering our final product. I would definitely use Amy again and will continue to recommend her to others.
The overall experience was great. Very professional and efficient. The quality of the work was fantastic. Highly recommend!
