Amy took some of the most beautiful photos that my family has ever had. We are not photogenic, but we are all so beautiful and glowing even at noon in late July. It was hot and nasty, but you couldn't tell. She also took the nest picture of my husband and I. I am smiling sweetly resting on his shoulder and he has this expression of being overcome with joy because he can't believe what just happened. I love it.
Amy made sure to be in the background when necessary, but also took charge when necessary to make sure that balancing a large opinionated family during pictures did not take hours and hours. She managed to make everyone happy and maintains that it's the brides day so she is there for the bride and will do anything to help make it the best day ever--even running interference with in-laws. She's great with portraits and being creative. She came up with great ideas, where I was completely at a loss.
Photographer and an assistant for the whole day and a DVD of everything.

What was your favorite wedding photo? One of the father/daughter dance pictures.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? We felt like we were on a Hollywood set in a movie, and she and her assistant just moved around up recording it all...I still feel like a Queen....
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Everything.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She smiles all the time, nothing was too difficult for her...even the in-laws........

What was your favorite wedding photo? I simply cannot pic one photo as my favorite. They were all stunning. I would literally have to describe 400 photos in this section to cover my "favorites". Amy made sure she fulfilled all of my wishes for my special day and captured every moment perfectly. That being said, the entire album was my favorite!
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? I barely even saw her during the day, and somehow she managed to get perfect photos like she was right in the middle of everything! She really knows what she is doing and captured MANY beautiful pictures without being a disruption at all. She is great at candids! I laughed and laughed at the pictures she got at the reception and cried my eyes out looking at the raw and emotional moments she captured between my now husband and I, and my father and I during our dance. It was incredible. She is also great at posed pictures. My bridal portraits turned out wonderful! I can't even tell you how many compliments I have gotten. I couldn't even believe they were actually me in the pictures they were so good!
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? I got a package that included an engagement shoot, a bridal shoot, 10 hours of coverage at the wedding with 2 photographers. Each of my two shoots came with 2 large prints and the wedding day came with a certain number of prints also. Each of the occasions also came with all the pictures on a CD to print as I want!
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? The photographer made us all feel comfortable by making sure she took all the pictures we wanted and did not leave anyone out. She was definitely there to please, and I was more than pleased with her work! She was very easy to work with and timely in getting back to us. She was the most pleasant photographer I spoke with in selecting the person to capture my special day!

What was your favorite wedding photo? My favorite photo would have to be when my son-in-law had his head on my daughters shoulder and they were both facing the photographer.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? She got lots of pictures I didn't even know she took she was able to get those lifetime memories while staying out of the way.
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? I am not sure what all came with the package, my daughter picked the package herself.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She captured memories with photos that we would not have otherwise. She showed us different poses that turned out beautiful!

What was your favorite wedding photo? It is a very hard decision because there are so many wonderful photos, but if I had to choose it would probably be one of my husband and I during our first dance. You can just look at it and see the love between us. Amy captured it beautifully.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Amy was very good with not making herself known as in when I was coming down the aisle with my father she was able to get that photo and I didn't even realize she was there! She also caught great candids from the reception of the guests and of me having a wonderful time!
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? My wedding package included 4 hrs of shooting time, with unlimited photos taken during that time. I also received a dvd of all the photos. She too put a slideshow online so that I could sample the photos before I was able to get them.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She was very laid back which made all of us feel more comfortable. She had the best ideas for different poses so we weren't clueless! It was an overall wonderful experience!

What was your favorite wedding photo? There were too many great photos to choose just one favorite. Amy did a great job capturing the beauty of the day/moment.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Amy was definitely a positive add to the wedding day. She is pleasant, patient and creative with her photo shoots.
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We had two photographers throughout the day plus a live photobooth set-up at the reception.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? All the wedding party commented on what a great job Amy did in herding, organizing and getting through all the family shots quickly.
What was your favorite wedding photo? It's tough to pick just one! There is one moment that Amy captured during our first dance where my husband and I are looking at each other and you can see exactly how happy we are. When I look at that picture, I am reminded of how much we love each other and how perfect our wedding day was. We actually see that in many of our photos!
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? One of the reasons Amy was so amazing with our wedding is because she became 'part of the wedding.' She was always in the right spot, but never in the way, so to speak. She has an incredible knack for being in the right place at the right time to get the perfect shot. She is probably best with poses/portraits, but she generally does everything really well. She has a great eye for the artistic shot, and knows the importance of lighting and position. She put us in many spots where I kind of scratched my head thinking...'What?'..but when you see the finished product it is amazing.
We would HIGHLY recommend Amy for any photography that you need. We have no doubt she could do just about anything you ask her to with a camera.
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Our package included Amy and one assistant photographer. We also had an engagement session & received a DVD (or DVDs) with all of the images. We received the DVD(s) very quickly after all of our sessions, and we even had an email with several "preview" images that Amy processed the same night of our wedding (and our engagement shoot).
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Amy made us feel completely comfortable. We feel like we've been friends with her for years. She took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple and used what she discovered during our first meeting and shoots to help put us at ease, and also to get the best poses/ shots that fit our personalities. We were nervous before our engagement session, and were both amazed at how much fun it turned out to be - and how great we look!
We have nothing but good things to say about Amy. She is bulletproof. As dependable as any professional I've dealt with in any field, easy going, and great at what she does. She is VERY easy to work with; she is very down to earth, very professional, and is always in control of the situation. She comes very prepared for any eventuality, and never gets flustered. She is a consumate professional that obviously loves what she does.
What was your favorite wedding photo? It would be absolutely impossible to pick just one of our photos. She took over 2000 photos for out wedding! I love my wedding photos so much!!! Amy has a true talent when it comes to photography!
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? She always was in the back of the crowd but got all these amazing photos! She did formals but also tons of fun candid photos, action shots and the best bridal portraits I've ever seen! Amy excels at all of these skills! I can not imagine having a different photographer!
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We had 10 hours which were so very reasonably priced! This included a discount on engagement photos and bridal portraits. There was one main photographer and an assistant photographer.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Amy has such a bubbly, fun personality that everybody was so very comfortable around her! When we first met her we spent hours talking to her because she felt like an old friend but also was so informative about not only photography but weddings in general, like places to go for vendors and suggestions to make the wedding go well. We all loved her so much!

Review: Simple Moments Photography is the only way to go
What was your favorite wedding photo? I have two favorite pictures, one with me(the bride) and the groom on the front steps of the church leaning into a kiss and the other with the groom in the middle of a circle with the bridesmaids.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? She was very invisible the entire time but still was able to capture all the moments. I forgot she was there.
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? I picked a package that included bridal and engagement pictures along with DVDs of all the pictures taken with print credit. She has several different packages to select from. Starting with low end budget to higher end. She also includes more items with her packages than I found with other vendors when I was shopping around.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She made me (the bride), the groom, and our entire family and friends feel very comfortable during the entire process. She blended in well and was very enjoyable. She has a pleasant attitude and wants what is best for you.
What was your favorite wedding photo? My favorite photo was one in which my husband and I were standing at the top of a spiral staircase, looking up, smiling, with our arms around each other. It's a simple photo but we look so happy to be getting married and Amy helped bring that out in us.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Amy's pleasant and calming presence allowed her to capture the true feelings of our wedding day. Her posed shots were both natural but unique and fun and she also did a wonderful job of photographing candid events.
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? 3 hours before our ceremony started, the ceremony and beginning of our reception (per our request), a DVD with original and edited versions of all the photos.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? From our initial meeting through the receipt of our photos, Amy's easy-going nature and ability to perfectly read our style and preferences made working with her a truly wonderful experience. She was able to capture spontaneous events throughout our wedding without being at all unnatural and she came to our wedding prepared with lots of ideas for posed shots.
