Words can’t even begin to express how amazing it was to work with Amber McWhorter! From the engagement session to the wedding day of our dreams, Amber was there for us! Not only is she kind, courteous, prompt, and professional, she is an unbelievable photgrapher! Her eye for all things beuatiful and unique details makes every moment she captures look like the cover of a magazine... her work took my breath away when I began searching for a photographer and I knew immediately that she was the one we wanted! Amber was always available to answer any questions we had and offered so many suggestions based on her professional and personal experience that made us feel confident we were in the best of hands! My fiance and I had NEVER had professional photos taken before and Amber made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. She laughs with you and gives you precise direction during all photo shoots which helps to capture the most beautiful and natural looking memories. You can truly see that Amber loves what she does! She really tried to get to know us as a couple and made us feel like she was just as excited for our wedding as we were! On the day of our wedding I was greeted by the beautiful smiling Amber who immediately began getting things in order for photos! She is confident and organized, and even though we had an EXTREMELY large bridal party, her and her husband were able to get everyone together and get the most beautiful shots! I can’t wait to see all of our photos from the wedding. I am so happy we went with Amber McWhorter Photography!

Amber is truly one of the best photographers out there. She is so genuine, authentic, down-to-earth, fun, and creative. All of these qualities and many more made her an absolute joy to work with. She is prompt, professional, and knows what she is doing! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, Amber captured moments I never could have imagined - but most importantly (and what makes her so good) is that she captured us! My husband and I are a bit shy and reserved when it comes to having photos taken, but she made us feel comfortable and brought out our personalities in both our engagement and wedding photos. Amber made the perfect timeline for our wedding day to flow seamlessly and captured so many detailed photos that were all stunning. We will be working with her for future photos and highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you so much for everything!

Amber is incredible! Book her! My husband and I found Amber on the recommended vendor list for our venue. We are so happy that we chose her to capture our big day. We are obsessed with our pictures! Neither one of us are very photogenic, and we were nervous about looking awkward in our pictures. Amber did a great job making us feel comfortable and making sure that every detail of our big day was captured! She even got some unplanned details when my dad and I had an impromptu first look. I will definitely hire her again the next time that I need any pictures.

I cannot say enough great things about Amber! I am super camera shy and never felt confident getting my picture taken. She told us exactly what to do with such great guidance. After a couple of minutes I just started having fun, totally forgot my fears. Amber got so many great images that I cherish from our engagement photos. Once we saw those there was no doubt we had to have her capture our wedding day. The pictures turned out absolutely amazing. I am over the moon every time I look at them. It was such a special day and having those moments so elegantly captured is so wonderful to have. The usb she sent us of our wedding photos are plugged in to an electronic picture frame and I absolutely love watching them play on a slideshow all day. We will definitely be using her to photograph all of our life changing moments!
— Kat Anderson
We absolutely loved having Amber as our wedding photographer! She is very sweet, professional, and takes amazing photos! She was great about leading us in poses throughout the day and made sure to get all the little details! Her pricing was very fair and you get high quality for what you pay. We are so happy we decided to go with Amber and you will be too!
— Katrina DiGiovanni
My fiance and I needed to take engagement photos but he was working in Florida until 2 months before the wedding. I was so nervous about finding a photographer over the internet but Amber was awesome and calmed all my fears! I was only able to visit over a holiday weekend and Amber was able to fit us in. Despite the fact that the wind (and rain) were not in our favor, the photos turned out great! So happy with our decision!
— Haley Heasley
Amber is super talented and has a true passion for photography. My husband and I initially hired Amber McWhorter Photography for our engagement session and wedding because we loved her artistic editing style and the way she was able to capture raw emotion. She did not disappoint – we have incredible and unique photos from our engagement shoot and wedding that we will cherish forever! Amber was very easy to work with and extremely patient. My husband has never enjoyed taking pictures, but was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable he felt in front of the camera with Amber. She has an amazing eye for the best lighting and effortless poses! She went above and beyond during every step of the wedding process, from suggesting vendors to drafting a shot list. My husband and I are very glad we chose Amber to be our wedding photographer and have already recommended her to several of our friends. We will definitely be hiring Amber again in the future!

While planning my wedding celebration, I knew the most important vendor for me was going to be the photographer. When I came across Amber and her work, the decision was instant. Amber was able to accommodate both our engagement session and wedding day within the same week as my husband and I were only going to be in town for a week. Amber is so sweet to work with. She does a wonderful job in using natural lighting and her environments to create such beautiful photos. When we got the photos back, my husband and I couldn’t stop looking at them! I’m so glad my husband was able to view them before he left for deployment shortly after. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, please choose Amber. She’s great, professional and awesome to work with.

Booking Amber for our Wedding was one of the best decisions we ever could have made. I don’t think there are enough words in the dictionary to describe all the feels we have after seeing a glimpse of our big day. Not only do you get an incredibly talented photographer with Amber, you get someone who truly loves what she does, and it shows in every single one of the pictures she takes. Amber, you have a God given gift. Your pictures don’t just tell a story, they make you truly feel like you were there, in that moment, having just as much fun, feeling just as much joy and love. You made me feel so comfortable and at peace the whole day, getting just the right shot, at just the right time. We will forever be grateful to you and the magic you work behind the lens. I look forward to many future sessions with you (pupppies/horses/babies/holidays/etc) because I couldn’t imagine having anyone else capture memorable life moments. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!

Amber was extremely professional and kind. We loved working with her!! She was extremely helpful with taking lots of family portraits and leading us with poses. She was never in the way of anything was a pleasure to work with! We love our photos!
— Mica Core
“Can’t say enough great things about Amber, from her professional brand/business set up and communication, to her fun-loving personality and eye for details. We loved our images and are so blessed by her capture of our vow renewal.”
— Craig Stewart
Having Amber capture our special day was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She not only produces amazingly gorgeous photos, she is also extremely professional and easy to work with. She made sure that we got every photo that we wanted and handled my extremely loud and large family graciously. As soon as she was able to begin editing, she gave us sneak peeks of our photos and even gave me access to the photos she was done with before they were all complete so that I could see them sooner rather than later. I would highly recommend hiring Amber McWhorter Photography and guarantee that you will not be disappointed if you do!
— Jessica Larson
Amber is amazing, she photographed my bridal shower and flew to DR to shoot my destination wedding. She was great with communication, easy to work with and very accommodating! Her work speaks for itself, we would recommend her to anyone we know.
— Desiree Lamb
Amber and one of her second shooters, Brittany, were amazing. I’m super camera shy but I felt comfortable the whole time. Amber has a way of making you feel like you are her best friend which is awesome. During the wedding she knew exactly what needed to be done, what pictures needed to be taken, and even managed our HUGE families without a hitch. The photography came out beautifully and I am so pleased. I would highly recommend her twenty times over.
— Courtney Buckalew
As someone who initially wasn’t going to book an all-day photographer for our wedding (gasp!), hiring Amber to photograph our wedding was truly a fabulous decision! We are from out of state and I actually found her on Instagram of all places while perusing through different wedding hashtags! Her casual yet romantic vibe was just perfect to capture the look and feel of our beach wedding and I knew I just had to have her after seeing her photos. Amber was very easy to work with leading up to the wedding and really helped with planning out a great timeline so we could get all the little shots that I requested. Our pictures turned out even better than expected and I know we will cherish them for a long time to come. I would highly recommend Amber to anyone getting married in the Tampa Bay area. You would not regret it!
— Stephanie Duda Moseley
My Fiancé and I are so happy we found Amber, I came across her portfolio and we just moved to FL. I discussed what I was looking for and being new to the area she suggested the perfect location and our engagement pictures are everything I dreamed. She made us feel super comfortable, and she even did some shots for us with our dogs which she was great with! She also got us our pictures back so quickly, I will definitely be booking with her again for my next shoot!
— Samantha Bartolillo
We recently had the opportunity for Amber to photograph our wedding on 11/02/2023. From the very beginning Amber was extremely professional and easy to communicate with. We knew right away following our engagement session that she would be perfect for our big day. She was extremely organized and made our wedding day flow so smoothly. We received so many compliments regarding Amber and her efficient / professional shooting style. She even got sneak peeks delivered to us while on our honeymoon! We just received our full wedding gallery only a month following the wedding and are blown away by the photos! We cannot recommend Amber enough and will continue to use her for any of our photography needs.

Jon and I were nervous at the thought of taking engagement photos since we aren’t your typical “picture takers”, but Amber’s natural talent took over and made us comfortable and captured every real moment. Not a single photo we didn’t like (mind you how hard she worked to get them back to us during and after hurricane Irma). She cares about her clients and has a true gift. I highly recommend Amber McWhorter Photography.
— Eileen Short
We met Amber just before our engagement photo session, and it was such a fun, wonderful time. We loved the moments she captured of us. The wedding day proved to be just as amazing. She was able to get so many perfectly timed moments of my now wife. I still love looking at and reliving those times.
— Nick Bashline
Amber was so wonderful to work with. I didn’t have a wedding planner, so I found her to be really helpful with solidifying a timeline and always had quick to answer questions. She recommended a HMU vendor, who I absolutely adored. Amber is great at helping move photos along so that we stuck to the timeline in an efficient, but not rushed, manner. She’s very professional and organized along with having a positive/upbeat energy—such a great combo to add to your wedding day. She’s sent some sneak peaks, and we’re very impressed with her work. Thanks again Amber!!
— Cora Bisone
I am completely obsessed with our wedding photos. Amber captured every detail and moment I could have ever imagined. Her eye for capturing photos and uniqueness is just beautiful. Every wedding tells a different story and she truly grasps that! I can’t thank her enough for the hard work she put in. I will forever be grateful I chose her as my photographer on our wedding day.
— Shay Thacker
Amber is truly an outstanding photographer! She captured every emotion as our special day unfolded. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the beautiful memories she gave us. Thank you Amber for being so good at what you do. We can’t wait to work with you again!
— Ashley Fernandez
Amber is a phenomenal photographer! She has photographed major events in my life including engagement, wedding, maternity and my child’s first birthday photo session. Her response times are prompt and she is excellent at catering to your specific needs! She is so sweet and you can tell she is passionate about what she does. Very affordable as well! I would not recommend any other photographer! Amber McWhorter Photography is the way to go!
— Brianna Jones
Amber was awesome! We had a courthouse ceremony and she was there to take 30 minutes of photos. She rocked it! We loved the pictures and there were so many. She was prompt, professional, friendly and captured our special day in amazing photos. Thank you Amber!!
— Traci Schmidt
We were so fortunate to find Amber when we were planning our wedding this March. We were looking for someone who was open, relaxed, and creative, as our wedding was relaxed and didn’t have all of the traditional elements! Amber’s pricing fit perfectly into our budget, with lots of options, and she was absolutely encouraging of/excited by our wedding day vision! Amber was even supportive through an unexpected venue change (two months before the wedding!), and went so far as to do our client meeting at the new venue to help us feel calm! On our wedding day she was organized, energetic, supportive and reassuring, and SO helpful. She fit right in with our guests, capturing wonderful moments without making us feel as if someone was intruding on our personal moments! Our photos (both posed and candid) are beautiful, and we are in love with them. THANK YOU, Amber!
— Ruth Smith
I don’t even know where to start. Amber captured everything plus more that I wanted for our family photos. I could not believe the quality of the photographs and how many we received after our session. Not only did we receive so many photos, but we were able to have the digital rights to the photos. I had so many questions and Amber always responded right away. We were visiting our family so we were not sure where the best location would be for photos. Amber knew right away the best place to go and exactly what I wanted. She was so easy to work with and we are already planning our next photo session. Thank you so much Amber!
— JoLee Horvath
Amber was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. We hired her for our wedding and not only was her pricing fair but the quality and service she provided was exceptional! She was super flexible with us and accommodated our requests the day of. She is super talented, her photos turned out amazing! On top of all of that, she was so thoughtful to put together a keepsake with our photos printed out in a custom box with a USB with all our photos. The added detail was such a personal touch!
— Brittany Frasse
Amber is a fantastic photographer! Her eye for a beautiful picture is outstanding and she’s able to make ordinary things look extraordinary. She was a pleasure to work with and made sure to get every shot in a timely manner. She was helpful and patient when I wasn’t feeling well and had to stop for a few moments because of an illness associated with pregnancy. She has always been prompt on answering questions and getting back to us. We are so very thankful to have had her capture our big day!
— Angelina Navarro
Amber was nothing short of amazing! Getting a great photographer for your wedding is a must, and we are so lucky we were able to book the best in Amber to capture our special day.

She was so easy and fun to work with, got our pictures back in a timely manner, and was just a pure joy to work with! If you are in need of the best photographer for your wedding day, we HIGHLY recommend you hire Amber!
