Amy and Jackson were the absolute BEST at our Oct. 2024 wedding. The photos we received blew all our expectations out of the water and they were the most calm and helpful presence on the wedding day itself. When the groom forgot his bowtie, Jackson lept into action and sourced another one from a staffer. When posing for group pictures started getting long and complicated with so many names and combinations, Amy kept everyone smiling and engaged. They captured every detail of our day, which allowed us to relive every moment (even those we weren't around for).
We LOVED our experience working with Amy and Jackson for our October wedding! They did an amazing job capturing our day and we are so thankful for how many wonderful photos they got, not just of us but our guests too! We will treasure these photos for a long time. We also worked with them for our engagement shoot and were thrilled with our photos there. We highly recommend working with The Smiths for your wedding or event!
Hiring The Smiths for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. In the vast world of wedding photographers, finding the right fit can be challenging, but from the moment we reviewed their website and saw their work, we knew they were the perfect choice to capture our special day.
The husband and wife duo were absolutely AMAZING to work with. Their professionalism and ability to keep us on track were greatly appreciated amidst the whirlwind of wedding preparations. They were incredibly flexible on the day of the event, even traveling to capture 'getting ready' photos at our hotel, which was a wonderful touch since I hadn’t done my hair and makeup at the wedding venue.
Looking back at the photos, we are thrilled with how they captured some truly special moments. The candid shots and overall gallery perfectly represent us and the people who celebrated with us. The Smiths didn’t just take photos; they told our story in a way that is both beautiful and authentic.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer who combines skill, professionalism, and a personal touch, The Smiths are an outstanding choice. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them to anyone seeking to capture their special moments with elegance and care.
We hired Amy and Jackson (and June!) to photograph our wedding (with an included engagement pictures session) and to say that they are just photographers might be one of the grandest understatements possible. They are, simply put, an incredible team and I wish we could get married 100 more times so we could work with them 100 times again. They are fun, smart, professional, mindful, selective, artistic and do they ever work well together as a team!
We had an excellent first experience meeting them in Staunton, where our wedding was going to be, for our engagement photos session. They had a perfect plan in mind going into it and executed it flawlessly, from the correct order of locations to scouting the best looking areas within those locations for great looking pictures, all while being mindful of the lighting to ensure they produced the best possible pictures.
For the wedding, they were exceptional and some. Their ability to direct us and make us feel comfortable, especially working within a strict timing situation, was remarkable. I could go into paragraphs of detail, but the most telling thing is that when our wedding planner left well before the wedding was over, the Smiths stayed all the way through to the end of the night, giving my wife and me a ride through the rain back up to the main property after the reception when the logistics were otherwise breaking down. They were the ones keeping things on schedule more than anyone else and we haven't stopped talking about it since.
I guess it's also worth mentioning that the quality of their actual pictures is unbelievable. I was going to be happy enough just compiling pictures our friends took and calling it a day, but my wife insisted we needed a great photographer and it's the one and only time in our entire relationship that she's been right and I've been wrong. For everything I mentioned above and everything else I left out that was great about working with Amy and Jackson, it was worth every penny and we'll recommend them to anyone and everyone who will listen! Thank you guys!!
We love Amy and Jackson so much!! They are truly artists - we could not be happier with our entire experience using them as our wedding photographers, they were INCREDIBLE!! We adore our wedding photos, and just as importantly, Amy & Jackson took the time to get to know us as a couple, as well as our friends and family, to help keep us calm and focused on the important things throughout our entire wedding journey. They were able to showcase all our most personal, real moments as a part of our wedding - and, our pictures were delivered so easily and quickly after our wedding day! Highly, highly recommend!
Amy and Jackson captured our entire wedding day from the time we started getting ready until we left the venue at the end of the night. This dynamic duo captured every little detail and most importantly made the process stress-free with amazing pictures to remember our big day for the rest of our lives. While their staged photos are breathtaking, their candid photographs are one-of-a-kind. You wouldn’t have even noticed, but these two were on the dance floor all night long ensuring we don’t ever forget the fun we had with our guests.
We'll be forever grateful to Amy and Jackson. They beautifully captured our wedding - both the big and quiet moments, the small details and the expansive landscapes, the personal exchanges with loved ones and the large group shots. They're professional, experienced, and easy-going. If you're looking for a talented team with a natural style who will take stunning pictures, hire The Smiths!
Amy and Jackson captured all of our wedding day magic in the best way. They have an amazing way of capturing candids, better than any of the other photographers I considered, and as a result, so many of our photos look effortless, joyful and relaxed. I highly recommend them, they are also incredibly sweet people!
Amy and Jackson have been the most amazing choice from the start - my husband and I are a 'covid wedding,' and started our partnership with Amy and Jackson back in 2019. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement shots, and nothing felt forced! They were also amazing to work with through 2 wedding reschedules, and were so communicative throughout the process. When the big day finally came (10/16/21) they were the calming force throughout an expectedly hectic day, and captured the vibe of our celebration so perfectly. Many of our friends and family members raved about how many photos they took, and the end results were breathtaking. I'm so so happy we chose them for our wedding and highly recommend Amy and Jackson to anyone looking!
To say we were happy with Amy and Jackson's photography is an understatement. My husband and I absolutely loved spending the entire day with them (they stay until the very end of the party) as their calm, kind and fun demeanors put us at ease. I am overjoyed with our beautiful photos-- as many reviewers state, they have a gift for capturing countless authentic moments, of the couple themselves as well as ALL the guests (and the guests were gushing when they saw the photos). Even though we don't live in Charlottesville, we will be traveling back in the future so that Amy can photograph all the important moments.
Amy and her partner Jackson are truly a dream team. They went above and beyond for us our entire wedding weekend, starting by coming to our rehearsal to scope out the space and get a lay of the land - talk about incredible! I loved so many things about Amy and Jackson - they have amazing energy that kept me calm and collected all day, but they also have a spirit of fun and connection that I imagine is very rare in this business. They are both just kind and amazing souls we feel lucky to have met.
And I haven’t even started on the photos! My gallery Amy shared is nothing short of art, and she turned it around so quickly. Amy has a powerful and strong eye that will make your wedding photos feel special and artistic in a way I haven’t seen before. I also truly enjoyed the looser, candid feeling that Jackson offered as a second-shooter. I know our gallery will have such great variety, but all with their special touch. Our wedding would not have been the same without this awesome duo. 10/10 we recommend!
Amy was the calm in the wedding planning storm. Her website speaks for itself, but she's also super responsive and confident while helping you figure out exactly what you need.
She and her husband photographed my wedding, and nothing felt posed or awkward even once. They captured so many beautiful, organic moments and simply blew us away with their professionalism.
They are the sweetest people you could hope to work with. Their turn around time on getting the edited shots to us was also extremely impressive, as we were so anxious to see them.
Do yourself a favor and book them for your day. The most common thing I heard from friends and family afterwards has been "we loved your photographers!" and "holy crap your photos are incredible." They captured the true essence of the best day of our lives and I couldn't be happier with their services!
Simply put, Amy and her partner Jackson are a dream team! I couldn’t imagine two more kind, creative, talented, or professional photographers.
My spouse and I had the pleasure of their company for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. While having two people follow you while you and your fiancé/fiancée as you wander through twilit meadows or (insert gorgeous location) might sound unnatural, any sense of awkwardness soon melted away. By the time our wedding day rolled around, Amy and Jackson felt like two dear friends who happen to have cameras. They seamlessly mingled with our guests, both on and off the dance floor, and many people later told me how much they loved our fun photographers.
Months later, as I peruse through our wedding and engagement photos, I marvel at how Amy captured so many natural, tiny, beautiful moments. Her philosophy of documenting the expected, the organic, and the surprising details of a special day really shines through. It’s clear that photography is not a job for Amy, but a higher calling in which she takes great joy.
I am so grateful to have had Amy and Jackson by our side for our wedding day, and I cannot recommend Amy Jackson Photography highly enough.
