State of Grace Studios was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was easy, clear, and enjoyable throughout the entire wedding planning process. The quality of their work was truly professional and the photos they captured were absolutely beautiful - completely worth every penny. They were easy to work with, helping to make the experience stress-free and allowing us to fully enjoy the moment. We are thrilled with the stunning photos. We highly recommend State of Grace Studios to any couple looking for a talented and personable wedding photography team!!!
Amy and Zach were a phenomenal team during our wedding day. I loved Amy's energy the first time we meet which was when shooting my engagement photos. She truly brings the best energy and images because she loves what she does. My husband has high regards when it comes to Zach because he listened and helped make the day run smoothly. If you're looking for a photographer/videographer I recommend State of Grace! Awesome team, awesome people!
State of Grace Studios was amazing to work with. We booked everything from Mi and came in to Savannah to take engagement photos and then for the wedding. Amy and Zach were so easy to work with and made me feel beautiful and eased all my fears. Both my husband and I were nervous and they calmed our nerves and made it fun. I am so happy with how the pictures turned out. I highly recommend them!
Any questions?
State of Grace Studios was an absolute dream to work with!!! Not only are Amy and Zach wonderful people, they captured our day so perfectly and were always so communicative and on top of everything throughout the whole process, making it very easy on us! Our family still talks about how wonderful they were to work with and how great of a job they did on wedding day being so organized and friendly, fitting right in. We are blown away by the pictures captured. Absolutely would recommend State of Grace!
Amy and Zach, the two photographers of State of Grace, are absolutely amazing! When my husband and I first got engaged I was set on having the best engagement pictures / shoot ever, 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!
There are so many things I could type. Amy and Zach truly made our wedding day so magical. Amy is amazing with answering your questions and concerns. Truly as a bride to be she helped with all the photo and video needs and questions. They make you feel so comfortable and even post wedding, are there if you have additional questions. If I was to do this whole process again, I would pick Amy and Zach 10 our of 10 times! Also, their work is INCREDIBLE- The Ortegas 2023
Amy and Zach were absolute professionals from beginning to end, including meeting in person for a planning session, prompt email communication, and tailoring the (very reasonably priced) package to meet our needs. Photos came out BEAUTIFULLY and were delivered right on time! On top of all that, Amy and Zach were warm and easy to hang out with on our wedding weekend :) We're very grateful we picked State of Grace Studios and would highly recommend them to other couples.
I love Amy and would work with her in a heart beat for any occasion if I lived in Georgia and if my budget allowed it I would fly her to Utah to do our photo's out here!
My daughter 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!
What an awesome husband/wife team to work with! Amy and Zach made the photography portion of our day feel so natural and relaxed and they were both a pleasure to work with throughout 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 Studios. 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!
Thank you for capturing all of our wedding's special moments and for making the process and day so special! We love our photos!!
Amy and Zach met with us personally several times before our actual wedding date to ensure they had all of our details and could capture everything we wished. In addition to being incredibly professional AND a fun team to work with, their price point came under many others with every photograph blowing our minds and warming our hearts. They are a very sweet couple to work with and I would recommend them to anyone. Hands down!
Amy & Zach were absolutely amazing and by far my favorite of all the vendors we hired for our day! They do such a phenomenal job making everyone feel comfortable and their pictures are beautiful. Highly recommend them to every couple!
Highly recommend Amy & Zach with State of Grace Studios! We received our gallery link yesterday and I can't stop staring at our photos. So happy!! We will treasure these photos forever.
Hands down the best! Don't think twice about hiring Amy & Zach - you will not be disappointed. I had to reschedule my wedding twice due to COVID-19 and Amy was so attentive and helpful through the whole process. We just received our gallery link and our photos are GORGEOUS!! I can't stop staring at them. :)
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.
If you haven't chosen a photographer yet, look no further - Amy & Zach are the absolute best! They're so professional, attentive and friendly. My biggest fear was bad weather for my wedding day, and of course it rained. However, the rain made no difference to Amy & Zach. They had an awesome contingency plan and my photos are awesome!! Every single one looks like it is straight out of a magazine. Highly recommend!
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!
Amy was terrific! We worked with her to take engagement photos. She knew all the best local spots, and we were delighted with the results. Also the price was incredibly reasonable for the quality of the work.
My photos are beautiful! Thank you guys for being so patient with me and my loud, crazy family. Both of you were so kind and professional from beginning to end. Will definitely be recommending you guys!

Hey Katie! Thank you so much!! We had a blast working with you and your family. Your day was simply stunning from beginning to end and such a pleasure to shoot.
Amy and Zach are amazing! They were such fun to work with and we are absolutely in love with our photos and video! Having two photographers was very important to us to make sure every little detail of our day was captured - and we couldn't be happier with their work.

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.
