Hi, I'm Amber!
IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU.
I'm an adventurer, flea market addict, mid-century art enthusiast, folk music lover, wife to Ramana, mama to 1 year old River, fur-mama to an aussie dog named Scout and a lover of all things colorful.
When it comes to your wedding, I would be nothing short of honored to capture the big special parts and the little moments in between.
My biggest goal is for my work to feel organic and truly capture the essence of my clients. I want you to be you. I want to capture all of the affection, all of the romance, and all of the magic of your big day in the most unique and candid way.
My favorite weddings are laid back + intimate affairs, whether it be outdoors or inside a unique space. I love couples who forge their own path, stay true to who they are, and let their love shine versus falling in line with trends and traditions. Also, I can’t deny, I love a great DIY wedding!
Heartful Storyteller
I consider myself a photojournalistic photographer with a flair for the editorial too. 90% of weddings are documented fully documentary, while during portraits I will guide my clients into the moments to capture the best light and angles while still keeping the photos as authentic as possible.
IN MY HEART:
Passionate Maker
I take the process of shooting and hand editing my imagery seriously. It’s a process for me from start to finish and I relish in giving my clients hand crafted imagery that will stand the test of time.
Lover of Nostalgia
I look at images as important artifacts that will transcend all of our lives. To me they aren’t pinterest ideas ready to be replicated. Each family/wedding/brand is unique and I approach your story as so.
I grew up with a camera at my hip from the age of 14. I started out on a film camera and printing in the darkroom, so I do take a lot of inspiration from black and white film photography - combined with my love of vibrant hues, my style has become a unique mix which I like to call "vibrantly soulful". I received my BFA in Photography and took off with my business after that! I am proud to say I have been in business as an Austin wedding and portrait photographer for 12 years.
In 50 years I want you to look at your images and feel all the emotions all over again and revisit all of the faces of everyone you love celebrating your love.
My clients know what truly matters on their wedding day - they appreciate the beautiful details (I still gasp when I see a beautiful bouquet or shoes) but they prioritize the candid memories with friends and family. It's a priority to me to not only document your love, but to also document your favorite people celebrating your love too. How incredible it is to have one day where you can pull together all of your favorite people in one place to celebrate something so beautiful? I feel honored to to be there to capture that for you.
I AIM TO MAKE my work feel organic and truly capture the essence of my clients. I want you to be you. I want to capture all of the affection, all of the romance, and all of the magic of your big day in the most unique and candid way.
