About Amber Mae Photography

I've been capturing weddings for over a decade and I've worked with hundreds of couples to photograph their celebrations and love. My work has been shared by Dancing With Her, Virginia Bride Magazine, and Insider.

Each wedding and couple is unique, and my eye for detail is focused on capturing images that encapsulate each wedding. I work to photograph candid moments as they unfold so you can relive your wedding day forever.

As I photograph you, I'm keeping an eye on your best angles, looking for the most flattering light, and providing gentle prompts on how to stand + pose. If you're worried about feeling awkward or not knowing what to do in front of a camera - I'm here to walk you through it and make the process fun!

Working with me is a process that goes beyond shot lists - your relationship is endlessly individualistic, and I believe the images should match.

I want to know how you met, what you love about each other, why you're choosing this person for this lifetime, what you're most looking forward to during your celebration. Whether you're tying the knot with your five closest people, or partying with 200 loved ones - I want it to be intentional and I want to capture every moment big and small. I want to photograph you in a location that actually means something to you. I want to see your dog running around the reception, to memorialize your Grandmother seeing you in your dress for the first time, I want to capture the entire story of your relationship - which means I have to read a synopsis of the novel of the two of you first.

You can find me photographing weddings in Richmond (East of the Blue Ridge Mountains, south of D.C. and far enough from Virginia Beach that the ocean is only a whisper on the horizon).
