Amy photographed our wedding on October 10, 2026 at The Highlands Estate, and she was absolutely excellent, and we truly cannot recommend her enough!!!
Amy has the nicest energy. She made us, our families, and our entire bridal party feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and my bridal party just loved her. The group chat was raving about her!! She felt less like a vendor and more like a calm, joyful friend who happened to be capturing everything.
She was also incredibly organized and flexible. She helped us build our photo timeline in advance, worked between both getting-ready spaces, adjusted her timing so she could capture more of the dance floor, and when we changed our getting-ready location at the last minute the night before the wedding, she did not miss a beat… she just said yes and showed up early.
And the pictures are gorgeous. We got a sneak peek gallery the very next day, and we were blown away. She captured the day exactly as it felt.
If Amy is available for your date, book her NOW!! You will be so glad you did!
Price assessment: Reasonable price

Amy is the most exceptional photographer! We had her take our engagement photos as well as wedding photos and she is such a kind, genuine, and personable professional. She is quick to reply to texts and emails, goofy enough to make us relax in front of the camera, and her work is beyond our wildest dreams! She sent us our sneak peak photos from our wedding less than 2 days after and I have already ordered prints of all of them! We cannot recommend Amy enough and can’t wait to use her services for future milestones!

We absolutely loved working with Amy. From the moment she arrived, she made us feel relaxed and comfortable. She has this wonderful ability to be invisible when needed and then effortlessly take the lead when it’s time to keep things moving — our family photo session was smooth and stress‑free thanks to her. During our couple portraits, she was easygoing, fun, and felt like a close friend we’d known for years.
She truly went above and beyond for us, coming early to capture the quiet moments before everything began and staying late to photograph the energy and celebration of the after‑party. She shared a sneak peek, a few of which are posted, and they’re stunning. We can’t wait to see the full gallery. Thank you Amy

Hiring Amy was one of the best decisions we made for our May 2026 wedding. From the beginning, she went above and beyond for us. She joined us for a venue walkthrough more than six months before the wedding and then returned on her own before the big day to scout locations for portraits. Looking through our gallery, it's obvious how much that preparation paid off.
Amy has the perfect balance of professionalism and personality. She is warm, relaxed, and easy to be around. On the wedding day, she gave us just the right amount of direction without ever making photos feel awkward or forced. She kept family portraits organized and efficient, and captured us in a way that feels genuinely like us. She had an uncanny ability to document the day without ever feeling intrusive. We barely noticed her throughout much of the evening, yet she somehow managed to capture all of the moments we cared about.
The photos themselves exceeded all of our expectations. Within 48 hours, Amy surprised us with a preview gallery of about 40 photos, and she delivered our full gallery ahead of schedule on our one-month anniversary, accompanied by a thoughtful gift box. The full gallery included over 800 beautiful photos that captured the joy, love, and beauty of our wedding day.
We would 10000% recommend Amy to any couple. She is incredibly talented, highly prepared, and a true pleasure to have by your side on your wedding day. Thank you Amy!!!

Amy has an incredible talent for capturing every special moment while making you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Her photos beautifully showcase genuine emotions, joy, and all the meaningful details of the day. From start to finish, her communication was exceptional—we always felt heard, supported, and confident that she was invested in bringing our vision and overall experience to life. We absolutely loved working with Amy and are completely obsessed with both our engagement and wedding photos. We couldn't recommend her more highly!

If you're considering hiring Amy DeBonis as your wedding photographer, let me save you hours of research...BOOK HER! My now husband and I hired Amy as our engagement & wedding photographer and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Amy brings fun, life, and laughter to every shoot that she is a part of. She makes you feel comfortable instantly (which is saying a lot coming from two camera-shy people) and works closely with you to bring out your natural chemistry and personality in photos. It's truly just like having a photoshoot with a friend, she's so personable!
She is incredibly organized, professional, very on top of things, communicative, efficient, and just an all around amazing person to have around on your wedding day. She captures the smallest details/emotions and brings them to life. Her photos aren't singular moments or random snapshots, they so clearly tell a story.
Amy is absolutely amazing and we cannot recommend her enough. She made our entire engagement to wedding journey a 10/10 experience and we are so grateful! Thank you Amy! :)
P.S. Her vendor recommendations list is fabulous!!!
