To all of you rad, RAD couples
First - I just want you to know that I'm so glad you're as cool as you are. What would the world be without go-against-the-flow types like you? (Robots. It would be full of robots!)
Second - I think you should stop reading this and click here so we can just have this conversation on a zoom call already! But since we're not on the phone yet, I want to tell you that I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you're considering eloping, because you're doing this for you.
Whatever brings you here...
whether it was a frustrating or deeply disappointing family situation...
...or maybe a decision NOT spend a gajillion dollars on a party when you could travel and adventure together...
...or maybe you're just a true romantic that wants to exchange vows with Irish castles or black sand beaches in the distance instead of a commercial wedding venue...
Whatever your reasons, I want you to know that I have MAD RESPECT that you know what you want and aren't afraid to go after it. Your love deserves this. You deserve this. And I am so stoked for you!
I CAN. NOT. WAIT. to connect with you.
-Amy
"Amy felt like an extension of our family."
“Amy felt like an extension of our family. From the first zoom meeting she was so friendly and fun, as well as professional, that my wife and I felt an instant connection with her. Throughout the process she was so helpful, going above and beyond... My wife and I are both normally so awkward, but she made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured the most beautiful and amazing photos! Watching her work, and be inspired, made us both excited and helped us enjoy the process even more. I look through our album almost weekly. The emotions she captured take me right back to our special day. I can't gush about her enough. Love you Amy!"
-BlueSky & Nicole
"She just brings out this joy in people and captures it on camera"
Literally THE BEST!!! Amy completely put me at ease with her down to earth, fun-loving personality. She is one of those that actually loves what she does and cares about her clients. She has a way about her that she just brings out this joy in people and captures it on camera. She goes above and beyond and is quite the seamstress too. If your zipper ever brakes, don’t worry – she’ll be there to save the day. I cannot recommend her enough!
