"She’s not the person we’ve all experienced (yelling at us to get in photos), she is there to take in the experience everyone is having, and her photos capture that.

Amber came all the way to France for our wedding and was there for 3 whole days! She became part of the gang and made everyone very COMFORTABLE in front of the camera!

Can’t recommend enough!!!"

Couple sessions are not just photo ops; they're an experience. Couples portraits (or engagement sessions) should be fun and you can plan them around activities you love to do with your partner. The experience is a memory in the making and will give you images to love and share for a lifetime. 

Boudoir sessions that inspire and empower. Boudoir allows you to create sensual images that give you confidence, center yourself, and allow you to see your own beauty. Boudoir is for anyone who wants to embrace their confidence and step outside the box of self-doubt and insecurity.

Let's Talk

Ready to Work Together?

  • Q. How much is a wedding photographer in Virginia?
    A. Average wedding photography for 8 hours begins between $1500-$3000; a photographer with years of experience, whose work has been published, or who is artistically gifted may charge more. You can expect pricing starting at $4500 and higher for in-demand, talented artists.
  • Q. Does the bride or groom pay for the photographer?
    A. Traditionally, the bride and her family assume most of the financial costs associated with a wedding, including the wedding planner, invitations, dress, ceremony, reception, flowers, photography, and music. However, it's 2023, and when couples plan their weddings today it typically involves dividing the expenses to create the wedding they both want!
  • Q. How long does it take a photographer to edit wedding photos?
    A. On average most wedding photographers will deliver full galleries within 4 weeks - 3 months after your wedding depending on the season. I deliver sneek peeks immediately, followed by full galleries 6-8 weeks after your wedding day.
  • Q. How many photos should I get from my wedding photographer?
    A. The average number of pictures delivered by a wedding photographer varies between 50 and up to 100 images per hour of coverage. I typically deliver between 500-800 images for an 8-hour wedding.
  • Q. How far in advance should you book a wedding photographer?
    A. It’s a good idea to book your wedding photography as soon as you have your date and venue set. Photographers who are in demand will book out a year or more in advance, so start looking no later than 8 months before your wedding date.
