Amy Theilig Photographic

My husband and I are so happy we chose Amy as our photographer. She takes beautiful pictures and captured everything we asked for. Looking at our pictures felt like watching a movie, she really knew how to tell the story through the photos. She was very responsive to emails and phone calls and was overall great to work with! I just received my layflat album and it is better than what I ever could have imagined, everyone loves it. :)

From the moment we met Amy we knew she was right for us - we instantly felt comfortable and like we were talking with an old friend. She connects with the bride and groom and makes them feel comfortable - even in the awkward poses! She was great and I would highly recommend her!

I haven't seen my pictures yet, but it's only been two weeks. However, I LOVED having Amy as my photographer. She photographed my best friends wedding which is how I found her. Other than the posed pictures, I hardly knew she was there, which I really liked. Her approach was unobtrusive and she and her assistant are so nice, so flexible and have great ideas. Some of the shots she was taking were followed with "I love it!" and "WOW!" I think she surprised herself with some of the shots she took. I absolutely can't wait to see our pictures and will update this review once we see them.

Amy equals AMAZING! She listened to our ideas and gave us more than what we expected. She is very approachable and very comfortable to work with. We couldn't have asked for more in a photographer, Amy is the total package. Please visit her website http://www.amytphoto.com and check her work :)

If you need a GREAT photographer, call Amy now! She did our wedding last year and I couldn't be happier with the process or our finished product, my album is BEAUTIFUL!! First of all Amy is really easy to work with. She is easy going, fun, and patient about understanding what you want from her, while still being assertive, confident and super professional while she is working.
When I got my proofs, a few weeks after our wedding, I was really excited. There were so many great shots, from posed, to candid, to family, to the details they were everything I had hoped for and a whole lot more. Amy has great style and really caught the emotion and feeling of the day in her pictures perfectly. Then when I received my album and I was FLOORED, it's FANTASTIC!!! She really has a knack for composition and design. All of our friends and family loved it too. I'm thrilled that out of the 4 photographers we met with we choose Amy. Give her a call, you won't be sorry.

Amy is a wonderful person who's an incredible photographer with class and style! We chose her because of the style of the photos she takes. We've looked over our wedding album so many times yet each time there's something new to see that reminds us how happy we are with Amy and her crew! Not only were Amy and her crew wonderful photographers but they were very thoughtful and genuinely caring.
Amy's style and quality of photos are definitely a head above the rest, and even after meeting with several photographers we knew Amy was the one!
Choose Amy Theilig, she's the best decision you can make!

Bride's note: Amy and her assistant were so great to work with and I must say that our album turned out absolutely gorgeous! Amy's assistant (I unfortunately can't remember her name) was great and was running around doing anything she could to help us. She even slid around on the bench to wipe it off before I sat down! We really appreciated their hard work and the extra time they spent with us to get awesome shots!

I met Amy at the Trump Bridal Show. She was extremely pleasant when we met her. That was one of the main reasons we went with her. When our wedding day rolled around, she was such a great person to work with. She was able to get my wedding party all pumped up for the pictures. Everything is great about Amy.

In one word Amy is AMAZING!!! Photos are so imprtant for a special day such as your wedding and Amy did not disappoint in any way. She is extremely easy to communicate with and really understood the direction we were going for. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome it was the perfect ending to a perfect day!

Working with Amy was fantastic! She has such a calm presence and artistic eye that she was able to get so many amazing pictures without us even realizing. It was difficult to narrow down our choices for enlargements because there were so many that were great. Amy sat with us and we edited the album together. The way she organized the pictures for the album really told not only the story but gave a sense of the emotions and tone of the day. The photos are such an important part of the wedding day and I really trusted Amy's professional and artistic eye. My husband and I just celebrated out one year anniversary and we found out that we are expecting. We want to continue to work with Amy for pregnancy and baby pictures!

In a word, Amy is AWESOME. She did our engagement pictures two months before the wedding and they turned our spectacular, so I didn't worry at all about the wedding the day. Our wedding album is about 20 lbs and everyone has been raving about it.

She was extremely professional at our wedding. She direct everyone with ease and grace. I really like her style. The color and the composition are really amazing. She likes to have clean shots, nothing too dramatic or artsy like some other photographers I have seen. Its really up to your own personal taste but she is very contemporary. She always called back right away or replied to my emails quickly. She gave me random advice on stuff because she has been in the business for awhile. I loved her personality.

I highly recommend her to every bride. I didn't really look around much at other photographers so I don't know if she is expensive or not but you can't put a cost on good photographs. Since most people will only get married once, its important to not let cost get in the way. I learned that the hard way with my terrible videographer who I cheaped out on so I am even more grateful that our wedding pictures turn out well. Some things you can cheap out because no one will remember them like wedding favors but you will have your photographs forever.

Amy did an amazing job.
She was very professional, calm and understanding. Best thing about her is that she's invisible through the event busy taking candid moments that will provide you a life time of memories.
I have so many gorgeous pictures it was really hard to choose ones for our wedding album.
I love her work.
I recommend her to anyone who wants an amazing photographer.

The photos we received from Amy Theilig photography were incredible. Our whole family loved the shots and very much appreciated how quickly Amy worked. She really knew what she was doing and she gave quick, helpful direction to us in order to get some amazing photos.

Outstanding! Unobtrusive. With her artistic eye and skilled photography, Amy captured the personality of this individual wedding. She told the story.
She was everywhere, quietly, subtly. Exactly what we wanted.
She recorded all the significant events, as well as many special moments. What a great surprise to "see" things (through the photos)that we had missed on the day!
The photos had personality, never stiff or staged.
Our album is a work of art, a treasure.

We couldn't be happier with the service we've gotten from Amy. The day of our wedding, she was very efficient while at the same time making everyone feel comfortable. Since then, as we've been reviewing our proofs and later our album layouts, she has been very flexible in working with our hectic schedules. The photos as well as the composition of the album are outstanding. We've recommended her to our friends, and if we had our own event to do over again, we would still choose Amy Theilig Photographic.

Our wedding was on a tight budget, but we were really picky about photography, so looking for a great photographer at our price range was difficult and frustrating. We were so lucky we found Amy!

Amy is very professional yet personable, which was really helpful in capturing our guests during the reception and portraits. She also managed to make my husband relax his facial muscles during our engagement shoot which was no easy task! All my bridesmaids and family members were very comfortable with her when she was capturing us getting dressed and made up before the wedding.

Our ceremony was held at the Wayfarers Chapel. The chapel only allowed photographers to stand by the entry door, not by the altar so that they don't disturb the ceremony. I was worried about her missing our important moments because of the distance, but Amy did a great job capturing our facial expressions. I don't know if she used a tripod but all pictures were clear even though she had to use a long distance zoom lens. If she handheld then she's got really steady hands! Wayfarers is also notorious for their tight schedule. I think we only had an hour before the ceremony and an hour after the ceremony for all the pictures. Amy knew the schedule well and knew all the good spots for photos, so I didn't feel rushed during my separate bridal session before the ceremony. All of our important guests (close friends and family) could also take photos with us within the short window after the ceremony thanks to Amy's gental yet firm conduct.

You can easily find out Amy's technical skills in her amazing photos. If her price works with your budget, make sure to arrange a meeting with her and you'll know what I mean about her great personality!

Amy was awesome. Our Photos and Albums look great and she really captured our event. She's professional, on time, and answers her email. We'd definitely recommend her.

Amy was one of our favorite vendors! She is warm, friendly, fun, and talented! She made everyone feel so comfortable, and she quickly made friends with my 3 year old niece, so she was able to get her smiling in a lot of pictures that wouldn't have happened without Amy. We felt like Amy was another good friend with a camera, instead of a professional stranger.

On top of being a fantastic person to work with - Amy does amazing work. My wedding album looked like a magazine layout. Amy is fun, easy to work with, responsive and very professional. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone for any event.

Amy did an AMAZING job. Our book looks like art, and we have received so many compliments! So happy!!!

We interviewed many photographers and we instantly felt a connection with Amy. She was always the professional while still making everyone feel comfortable and at ease, especially during the pre-ceremony photos while my wife was getting ready with her friends. The end result, wow!! Our wedding book is really kick-ass!! We are both extremely happy with her work and would recomend her to anyone and everyone.

Amy was the photographer at our wedding, and she was absolutely wonderful! She did an amazing job, and my family and friends are still raving about what a great job she did. We had a beach wedding in Laguna Beach, and our reception was at a nearby restaurant so the time of the ceremony changed a few times, and she was more than willing to work with my time changes. When she arrived at the hotel the day of the wedding, she got right to work and took charge. She has this personality that would make even the most shy and reserved person come out of their shell and feel like a model. Very creative in her work, and just an all around awesome photographer. You can see the passion that she has for her job!!

Thanks Amy!!

Amy does pretty much all the weddings at Shade in Manhattan Beach. Her book is right there are the front desk if you'd like to check it out. She does amazing work. Not only did she do my wedding, but she also did my Matron of Honor's wedding two years ago. I highly recommend Amy!

I was so nervous about finding the perfect photographer who could make our wedding album just the way I wanted. After meeting with several different photographers, I came across Amy's name at a local bridal show. We met at Coffee Bean (I remember the day bc I was so excited after seeing her work) and I knew after speaking with Amy for 5 minutes that she was going to be great to work with. Then, she showed us her sample albums and we were sold! Not only did she have a great, friendly personality, but her creative journalistic abilities were amazing, and we got to see proof of that before booking. We left Coffee Bean and decided that instant that we found that perfect photographer. Amy did an amazing job of making everyone feel comfortable and getting us all relaxed for the photos. We were actually sad to say goodbye at the end of the evening. Amy did a great job and the quality of our album was perfect!

Amy is fantastic. Everyone who has seen the pictures from our wedding was "wowed", as were we. We've already referred other friends to her and will keep doing so! :)

Not only are Amy's photographs spectacular- she is an awesome person to work with! Since I have met Amy, she has captured every large and small moment in my life from travelling to my wedding in Napa to an intimate 60th wedding anniversary for my grandparents. I don't need to say more because her work speaks for itself!

Going into our wedding, we knew one of our biggest expenses would be the photographer, so finding a great photographer initially proved to be a stressful, daunting endeavor. However, once we met Amy to discuss our hopes for capturing our wedding on film, we knew we'd found our match, and she immediately put our minds at ease.

Amy is a consummate pro both professionally and creatively. She not only knew what we were looking for, but she also helped crystallize things that we didn't know we were looking for until we sat down and had a consultation with her. Amy is extremely easy to work with, and I attribute this to her innate ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Coupled with her unflappable disposition, she seamlessly wove herself into our wedding day and handled every unforeseen circumstance with aplomb and equanimity. Unless we were directly posing for her, we didn't even know she was there most of the time as she discreetly melted into the background to catch amazing shots that my husband and I clearly missed at the wedding!

Which brings me to arguably the most central and significant component of Amy's abilities that distinguishes her from other photographers -- her eye. She possesses an uncanny capacity for quickly identifying and capturing those magical, fleeting moments from a wedding day: from the preparation to the final dance. My husband has often noted that he's never seen more beautiful pictures of me, and that's not merely because I had a good makeup artist or a lovely dress that day.

Taking wonderful pictures, however, is not enough. They must also be assembled into an album with artistic expertise, and here again, Amy blew away all of our expectations. She put together a magazine-style album that wasn't simply a loose collection of family photos and scenery, but rather a photo essay that told the living story of one of the most important days in my life.

Throughout this entire process, Amy was extremely generous with her time and thoughtful input. Since our wedding day, we've used Amy for other occasions, and she brought the same professionalism and dynamic creativity every time. Without reservation, I can wholeheartedly recommend Amy for your wedding. She will help take a lot of the guesswork out and put a lot of the magic in.

Amazing photography, very professional. Amy is a pleasure to work with.
