Wedding photography for the playful, the emotional, and the romantics
Temecula Wedding Photographer
Hi, I’m Amy!
I’m a wedding photographer based in Temecula, California, specializing in capturing genuine, joyful moments with a timeless, film-inspired style. I believe your wedding day should feel like you—fun, emotional, and full of love.
I prioritize getting not only the emotional candids, but getting people who don’t like being photographed comfortable in front of the camera. My goal is to make you laugh, relax, and be present in every moment, so you can focus on what matters most—each other.
From the emotional walk back down the aisle to the little moments like the breeze through your veil or a stolen glance, I’m there ready to capture everything. You’ll get a team that’s approachable, attentive, and ready to speak up for you when needed. Together, we’ll create images that will take you back to your favorite moments. In addition to that, we’ll show you the moments you didn’t know happened.
Because 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.
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. Above all, I am 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. If you let me know what you need I’ll be 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.
With two photographers you get two different stories from your wedding day, so you’ll have more angles and more moments photographed. Plus, Tyler is really good at getting a laugh out people.
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.
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.
