Wedding photography for the playful, the emotional, and the romantics

I’m a Temecula wedding photographer, and I prioritize getting not only the emotional candids, but getting people who don’t like being photographed comfortable and laughing in front of the camera. Although I am super easy-going and approachable, I will speak up for you without hesitation.

Imagine the moment after you say I do, laughing and crying as you walk back down the aisle. Your family and wedding party come up to you with tears in their eyes, and you experience some of the most meaningful hugs you’ll ever feel.

Every detail, every emotion, and every fleeting moment deserves to be captured with passion, skill, and a genuine understanding of the significance of your love.

Amy Dost – Temecula Wedding Photographer

Hi, I’m Amy!

I am a Temecula wedding photographer who watches way too much Criminal Minds and cries at literally everything. I’m passionate about human connection and finding ways to make memories eternal. Currently I live in Temecula with my husband, Tyler, and we photograph weddings in Temecula, San Diego, and throughout Southern California.

You deserve someone who will take the time to learn about you. Because that is who your wedding is about. I care so deeply and treat every wedding like it’s the only one I have.
MORE PHOTOS

With two photographers you get two different stories from your wedding day. You’ll have more angles and more moments photographed. Plus, Tyler is really good at getting a laugh out people.

MORE INTIMATE

You should have time to stop and breathe on your wedding day. To be able to take a moment to really experience what it means and how it feels. I always make sure there’s room for you to take it all in.

MORE EMOTIONAL

Sometimes it’s hard for people to show their feelings in front of others, but I am the least intimidating person you’ll ever meet. Besides, I’ll be the first one crying.

There are a lot of Temecula wedding photographers, but I want to go beyond the photography.

So what makes me…me?

Friendly and Non-Judgmental: I genuinely care about you and your story and want you to be you. We want to see the silly, fun, loud, quiet, or gentle love that you have at home on a Tuesday night. And I especially want to reflect that ‘you’ in your wedding photos.

Listening and Understanding: I take the time to listen, understand, and focus on what matters to you. Likewise, I learn who you care about, and why these people and things are important to you.

Couple-Centric Approach: Your vision matters. I’m your wedding photographer. So I’m here to photograph what you want to have and remember about the day, regardless of what I want to have in my portfolio.

Advocacy without Rudeness: I speak up for you when needed, because this is you and your fiancés wedding day; not anyone else’s. Let me know what you need and I’m there.

Organized and Detail-Oriented: From comprehensive questionnaires to a custom tailored timeline, I make sure every detail is covered, leaving no room for stress on your wedding day.

Adaptable and Dependable: While we plan for as much as possible, things happen. So if hair and makeup runs late or something crazy and unpredictable happens it’s okay. We can adapt accordingly, and most of the time you won’t even know about it.

“Book them immediately!”

Booking them was truly the best decision we made throughout all the wedding planning. Not only did we have two experienced photographers that made our day feel genuine, easy, and fun, but we also made two really great friends.
