About Amber Johnston Photography

"Amber was AMAZING! Her communication, friendliness, and awesome ability to capture the most fun moments are unparalleled. She helped us out with all of our questions and made us feel super comfortable with the whole experience. I feel like we got more than just a photographer, we made a new friend! I've been to many weddings over time, but this was the first time I've ever had people come up and say how awesome the photographer was. 5/5 Book her!"

-Sean & Evan

"Amber was wonderful to work with and very talented! We love our photographs from both our engagement shoot and our wedding. She was extremely flexible during engagement shoot. Our wedding photographs tell a story all day long and there was not a single moment missed in the photographs. She has such a pleasant disposition and allows the couples to be themselves rather than forcing photographs. We felt like she really brought out the best in us and would highly highly recommend her."
-Ryan & Colin

"Amber was absolutely perfect for our wedding; she was a pleasure to work with, and we could not be happier that she joined us for the festivities. The photos came out wonderfully, and I can not say enough good things about Amber's contribution to our day. Thank you, Amber, for documenting the madness, hilarity, and joy of our best day."
-Astra & Ray

"Amber traveled to Davis, WV for our wedding (also her first destination wedding) and I can't say enough about her photographs, hospitality and dedication to getting the perfect shots. Some wedding photographers are really good, but Amber truly has an eye to capture great moments and work with the lighting. The word that comes to mind when I think of our reveal photos is "enchanting." She surpassed all expectations. We felt totally comfortable with her and would highly recommend her."
- Henry & Alyse

"I highly recommend Amber! Her work is gorgeous. I have a nice mix of posed and action photographs and they are all such high quality. I am so pleased with both the engagement photos and the wedding day photos. Amber is professional yet sweet. She sincerely wants your occasion to be special. It is clear that this is not just a way to make money for Amber. She wants to know you and your family on a personal level. If you are looking for something specific, she will make sure she gets it. If you just want amazing photos, you can leave everything up to her and she will deliver! I really don't think you will find a better value. If you are unsure or on the fence, choose Amber. You will not regret it!"
-Katie & Brian

"Amber was simply fantastic. We met with her in person a few months before our wedding date, and she was accommodating and warm. She seemed genuinely excited to photograph our wedding, and it was apparent that she is passionate about what she does. On the wedding day, she arrived before anyone else to scope out the grounds for good photo opportunities. My wife and I walked around the property with her for an hour taking pictures before the wedding ceremony, and she made the whole experience easy and fun. We didn't want any of the typical cheesy or overly-posed pictures that you commonly see, and Amber was totally down with that and all our pictures have a natural, fun look to them. I can't put into words how pleased we are with our wedding photos - they captured our experience of the day PERFECTLY! She is a true professional. Amber was also extremely fast getting our pictures back to us after the wedding, she had uploaded all the pictures within a week. I would highly recommend Amber's services to anybody needing photography services in the Philly area!" -Racheal & Michael

"Amber was a perfect addition to our special day. She had great ideas as to where and how we could take pictures. She also listened to our ideas and suggestions and incorporated our opinions throughout the night. When the rain prevented us from following through with the original plan, she was quick to make adjustments. She was kind and sweet and caring throughout the whole day and made sure we got pictures with all of our guests. Amber was all over the place taking pictures and getting different angles, but was completely unobtrusive and did not disturb the flow of the event. She provided us with our own wedding website in a very short period of time, full of hundreds of edited pictures. The pictures are beautiful!!! I cannot pick out my favorites because there are so many amazing shots. Amber has even helped me to order prints correctly. She remains in contact and is quick to respond. Thank you Amber!!!"
-Whitney & Greg

"Amber is amazing! We are so happy that we found her! We couldn’t be happier with our engagement and wedding photos. We are definitely goofy and awkward in front of a camera, but Amber has a positive, calming presence and a skill that brings the beauty of the moment out, not the awkwardness. She is so accommodating and fun to work with. Every time we look through the wedding photos we are struck by how vividly we can relive the day. Amber captured every detail of that day so well, and caught so many amazing moments, expressions, action shots, etc. She has a way of being everywhere but never obtrusively, and I think that shows through in the photos. She didn’t miss a thing! Our photos were also finished with great care and skill. They are beautiful. Thank you, Amber!"

-Dan & Steph

"Amber was such a pleasure to work with! She was responsive, kind, creative, and easy-going, exactly what you want from a professional vendor. We adore the photos she took for us. She has a great eye for light and texture, and she beautifully captured the candid joy we felt on our wedding day. We would 110% recommend her!"

-Liz & Annie

"I would recommend Amber over and over for wedding photography. Amber was amazing! She took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I am so very glad I chose her to be our photographer. Not only is she a very talented photographer, but she is also kind, funny,accommodating, and easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, she was all over the place, snapping shots at the most perfect moments. I have been looking through my wedding photos to relive the day over and over. She is able to capture personalities and get some really unique and candid moments. If you are looking for someone who will take great photos that are beautiful and personal, she is the photographer for you. She was reasonably priced and so talented!"

-Steph & Trevor

"My husband and I were so lucky to have found Amber as our wedding photographer! We feel like we not only got amazing pictures of one of the most important days of our lives but we also made a good friend. Amber came into our lives almost a year before our wedding date and over the next few months we met with her a few times. She was so down to earth and helped us feel calm the whole way through the stressful planning process and even more so the day of the actual wedding! She was on top of everything, timing and family drama to boot! The pictures were not posed or cheesy, she really was able to capture our true nature and the atmosphere of our wedding party. We wouldn't have wanted to spend our special day with anyone else! Thanks so much Amber!!!"

-Robin & Josh

"Amber was simply great! She accommodated to our picky demands (and our dog) , and planned with us so that that Philadelphia's flowers were perfectly in bloom for our engagement photo shoot. She has a real artist's eye. Thanks again, Amber!"

-Ryan & Kathy

"Amber is a gem. She has a calm and laid back demeanor that helps people to feel comfortable and relaxed. She is incredibly talented behind the lens. She did an excellent job photographing my massive wedding party (10 bridesmaids, 9 groomsmen) and also managed to capture tons of candid shots that reflecting the feelings of the day. I would recommend Amber for your wedding. She is reliable, comfortable, and is a true talent in the field of photography."
-Tricia & Jon

"Amber captured so many fun moments, took flattering shots of me and my guests, and really managed to capture the whole event the way I wanted... and amazingly, you wouldn't have even realized she was working through the wedding! She managed to get it all while not being distracting to my guests, something I so appreciated after hearing guest horror stories about paparazzi like photogs who blocked their view of the events! More over, she was also a complete pleasure to work with, friendly, calm, and professional. Any inquiry I had was answered promptly and as a bride, you can't underestimate how much you appreciate being able to check one thing of your list to worry about. In short, if you want someone who is talented, professional, reasonably priced, and fun to work with this is your woman!"
-Kevin & Veronica

"Amber is amazing . Made everything so easy and FUN! Our pictures are incredible and we are extremely happy with them !!!!"

-Jenn & Heather

"Amber was fantastic. In the midst of our wonderful (and a bit stressful) whirlwind DYI wedding party, Amber was right there to capture everything. She has such a warm, and pleasantly casual manner to her, she blended into my friends and family seamlessly, catching so many special moments I didn't even realize were happening!
Beyond her eye for the spontaneous, I was really struck by her vision. She has an artists eye for detail! For example: she photographed a conversation between my mother and me, instead of focusing on the group, she took these beautifully intimate photos of our hands in conversation.
My husband and I were thrilled by her photos and we will absolutely be in touch with her for our next special occasion! I don't think there is anyone who could do a better job than Amber did!!
-Kathleen & Mauricio

"I am so happy with how our pictures turned out, especially our first look pictures! Amber did an incredible job of scouting the perfect location, figuring out what would work best for the locations and had amazing ideas for poses! My only regret is that we didn't book Amber for longer into the evening so that we could have gotten even more amazing pictures! I highly recommend Amber!"

-Stephanie & Michael

"Our wedding was a bit non-traditional in that we performed a 45-minute meditative movement component first *before* the formal ceremony. This type of dancing is very personal in nature, and we wanted a photographer who was able to capture the emotion and movement quality of the participants but also didn't interrupt the sacred nature of the activity. Amber, who has a background in dance/movement herself, elegantly wove herself into the patchwork of 30+ dancers with her camera to take some of the best photos I have ever seen of myself, husband, and my dancing friends. She glided around with us as a fellow dancer, never an imposing intruder, and certainly no flash! The same can be said for our formal ceremony; I never once noticed her, yet the photos convey every emotion that crossed our faces during our vow and ring exchange. We were straightforward with Amber in telling her that we didn't want pre-event/prep photos or staged photos of us and our families. She respected our wishes and stuck to shooting real-time activities (mostly dancing!). That's what we wanted, and we are delighted with our album. Many of our friends had never seen images of their authentic dancing before, and it is a gift for us to share Amber's images with them."
-Jennifer & Phil

"Having Amber as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our special day. Our wedding pictures came out amazing! They are truly breathtaking. She was great at communicating with us through out the day with out being obtrusive but capturing every moment. She has a true artistic gift for photography. She has such a sweet friendly personality and makes you feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend Amber to my family and friends."

-Jess & Sam

"Amber was amazing!!! Every photo was exactly what I asked for. She was super helpful when things fell behind and everyone loved her. I cant wait to have a reason to use her again."
