Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm Amy and here's a little bit about me:I've had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember, thanks to my photo enthusiast father. He let me run around with his cool "grown up" Nikon gear and I've been hooked ever since. For me, there's something magical about being able to make time stand still with a photo. It's a beautifully organic process of turning memories into art for generations to enjoy. I have a love for capturing life's sweetest moments and what better place to do that than weddings? Love, cake, music and pretty dresses...sign me up! I believe each and every wedding is unique and it's so fun to watch a couple's personality come forward throughout their day. Your love story is told through priceless emotional moments both big and small, and I'd be honored to capture each one for you to treasure for years to come.

, let me tell you they delivered! Amy took so much time with us in Savannah in the heat to make sure our pictures were perfect and what we wanted. They also took our wedding pictures and I can’t brag on them enough!!! Zach stayed with my husband and the guys all day while Amy stayed with me and the girls and they got every moment photographed that I could have possibly asked for! I am so so happy with how all my pictures have turned out , we will definitely be using them more in the future!

hter met a young man that lives in Hinesville, GA and they decided to get married in Tybee. I spoke with several photographers and Amy was wonderful from the beginning to the end- even months later when I needed a special project for her to do.
We had a lovely beach wedding and she helped us plan everything else and made us feel like five star clients. We love our first look photos, groom photos, bride photos, and wedding photos. The reception photos are beyond memorable and hilarious in the best way- I wish I could post them for you all to see. Zach did the wedding video, grooms photos, first look photos and reception photos and he was amazing as well. They were so personable and it was like working with family. Thank you Amy and Zach for helping make this day so memorable!

ut the whole planning process. Everything about our day was fantastic from the getting ready photos, the ceremony photos, reception and exit. The entire team at SOG is phenomenal in their execution and professionalism. They are so fun to work with, and they hustled! Several guests and family members even commented throughout the day on how hardworking and kind our photographers were. I treasure every single photo and video they produced for me from my engagement to our wedding. They are reasonably priced, local, and overall great. I cannot recommend them enough.

Amy, Zach and Asia were outstanding. From the moment we hired them in 2020 to the wedding in 2021, my husband and I never had a moment of hesitation or regret with State of Grace S...
tudios. Amy and Zach's professionalism and willingness to video call with us while we were still deciding really helped us land on choosing them-- they were casual, easy-going, and fun, which is what we wanted. Amy produced beautiful engagement photos for us in the fall of 2020 and even came back and did a small second shoot with us when we didn't get to go to all the spots I wanted to shoot at. She was incredibly accommodating and fast with delivery of photos.
Our wedding was November 2021 and the communication leading to the day was great. Never once did I feel like I couldn't get in contact with Amy or have a question that went unanswered. Day of we had 3 photographers and I feel like every moment was captured for us to remember. I cannot say ENOUGH good things about Amy, Zach and Asia. RUN, don't walk, to hire them for your wedding, event, whatever it is. You will NOT regret it.

Savannah was the dream destination wedding for my husband and I. After weeks of dry-eyed scrolling through wedding photographers, videographers, photos, and videos, I finally found...
State of Grace Studios. They had all the tech and artistic style we were looking for, which ranged from not only photography and videography, but also drones and 360 videos. Since we’re from Florida, Amy and Zach worked with our schedules to meet our needs with emails and Zoom calls, but made sure they met with us in person at our site when we were in town. They listened, answered every question, and asked the important ones we forgot about. Both Amy and Zach made sure to tell us what would work, what didn’t, and without trying to price gauge us like some other wedding vendors. My husband and I are more relaxed, funny, party-goers, and they kept up with our style. The day of our wedding was so fluid with them that I forgot they were even there after the ceremony started. I can’t even begin to describe in words how amazing their photos and videos are after we received them, because they still have me in tears of joy. I encourage you to check out their portfolio. You’ll never find a better team with photos or videos like State of Grace Studios. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, so much to Amy and Zach at State of Grace Studios!!! We’re going to cherish all of these amazing moments from the best day of our life—FOREVER!

Choosing Amy & Zach was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. I've never felt so beautiful as I do in my wedding photos. I've always felt awkward in photos and was ...
afraid that would show in my wedding photos. Amy listened to my concerns and was awesome at coaching me and my husband throughout the day and it made all the difference. Also, we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and Amy made that whole process a breeze. She happily accommodated our new date and even helped me find a new caterer when my first one fell through.

The number one thing my groom and I cared about, was photography and videography, and I absolutely can't say enough about how happy we are that we went with Amy and Zach.
We are ...
both pretty camera shy, and were nervous that it would show, but some how Amy and Zach made us feel so comfortable. The photos they have taken are gorgeous, and they are both such a delight to work with.
The day after the wedding we had so many calls from our family and wedding party telling us that they loved working with Amy and Zach too, and that they have never had so much fun with photographers and videographers before. Seriously if you are trying to decide between them and another vendor, go with them!
