I liked Amber the second I met her. She is warm, bubbly, and she radiates happiness in a way that makes impossible not to smile when you're around her.
She was very easy to work with, and did an excellent job of communicating during the wedding we worked at together.
I even felt inspired to eat dinner at the vendor table with her, which is something I almost never do at weddings. She was professional, jovial, inspiring, happy, and an all around pleasure to work with.
I would highly recommend her!
Ms. Dodson did an absolutely incredible job at our event. She brings the spark, energy, and personality you want in a photographer, someone who keeps you focused, comfortable, and confidently posing on your special day. There are no do-overs in moments like these, and you need a photographer who can guide, direct, and inspire you to look your best.
Ambera excelled at this. She encouraged us with thoughtful posing, wasn’t afraid to ask for a quick redo to get the perfect shot, and showed us previews on her camera throughout the session so we knew we were capturing something beautiful.
We cannot recommend Silent A highly enough for your next event. We are thrilled with the results.

Hi, I’m Ambera—the “silent A” behind silent A photography. For over 15 years, I’ve been telling love stories through my lens, capturing weddings that are as unique and unforgettable as the couples themselves. To me, wedding photography isn’t just about documenting the day—it’s about preserving the laughter, the tears, the quiet in-between glances, and the big, bold moments you’ll want to relive for a lifetime.
My path to wedding photography started with formal training at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, where I learned the technical side of the craft. But my true style has been shaped by years of experience, countless weddings, and my love of storytelling. Living in the Lake Tahoe and Truckee area has given me the perfect backdrop: sparkling lake views, towering pines, and snow-capped mountains that create magic for every “I do.”
When you work with me, you’re not just getting a photographer—you’re getting someone who knows how to bring out the best in you. I’m also a stand-up comic, which means I’ll have you laughing and relaxed in front of the camera, even during the most nerve-wracking moments. And as a yoga instructor, I know how to help you breathe, stay calm, and find natural poses that flatter and feel authentic. Together, those two worlds help me create images that are joyful, comfortable, and deeply real.
silent A photography specializes in full-day wedding coverage, from the excitement of getting ready to the last dance under the stars. My approach is natural, relaxed, and story-driven, ensuring that every photo reflects your personalities and the love you share. I don’t just capture how your wedding looks—I capture how it feels.
At the end of the day, I believe every couple’s story deserves to be told with honesty, beauty, and heart. My goal is to create timeless images that let you step back into your wedding day for years to come and remember not just what happened, but how it felt.
