Amy and her team are the best!! She captured our day so perfectly from the BEAUTIFUL pictures and highlight video we could not have asked for more. Amy has been so amazing, so professional and very friendly! We're beyond grateful for Amy and Kevin for capturing our beautiful day with our family and friends. We just can't get over how amazing the photos turned out. She captured every moment in such a beautiful, natural manner. Looking at the photos and watching the video makes me feel like I'm reliving our favorite day. My entire family is just in awe of her talent! Will definitely be recommending Amy and her Team to Family and Friends. :) read more

We hired Amy and her team for our desert Palm Springs wedding at the Lacy C Horse Ranch. I couldn't be happier with the photos - they are so beautiful! She was so professional and made everyone feel so comfortable getting their photos taken. Everything was so easy and smooth. Her communication was clear and very professional. I truly felt like she and her team really understood our wedding vision and brought the whole day to life in the photos. They went above and beyond to make sure we got all the photos we needed on the ranch, and I couldn't recommend her more!! read more

We hired Amy and her team to shoot for our wedding and could not have picked a better photo/video team! They were professional, punctual, responsive, and gave us a great mix of posed pictures and action shots of the wedding. They arrived early before the wedding to scope out our venue and find the best locations and lighting for photos. Amy delivered all of our pictures in less than a month, and we have been getting endless compliments on how beautiful the pictures are. Cannot recommend Amy enough- book her ASAP! read more

Amy is an amazing photographer and we are lucky we found her. She took amazing pictures at our wedding at Wayfarers chapel. I also got great feedback from the staff at wayfarers. She responds right away to questions you may have and before your event she'll call you to talk about final details and more information which is super helpful. Amy makes sure to get as many amazing pictures as possible and is flexible when you ask her for certain pictures with family members or friends. She is super sweet and approachable. We will forever treasure our beautiful pictures. I loved every single picture that she took. She captured lots of candids which was awesome. Don't hesitate to book Amy. She will do a superb job. She knows the chapel grounds very well. read more

Amy's photography has the exact kind of style I wanted for my wedding pictures. California's beautiful scenery captured in the bright happy tone. The package that we picked included an album and it was a decent deal. We did not meet her in person before our wedding but her experience with Wayfarers Chapel and her positive and engaging personality made us feel confident that she will do the job right. And we were right! All the pictures, from the first look and group pictures at the chapel to the cocktail hour and reception pictures turned out great. Amy came in very casually to the bride's dressing room and started taking pictures of my props right away. She was on top of the schedule as she is so familiar with the ceremonies at Wayfarers Chapel. The slight problem I had was with the group pictures. I wanted the pictures with the bridesmaids only but due to the time crunch, we did not do all the pictures we requested. It was not Amy's fault but it was just hard to control the group of people when everyone is all excited. Overall she didn't miss any important moments and in addition to that, some of the pictures of my family were priceless - especially my niece who was my ring bearer and could be a bit shy around strangers. I loved how we had so many choices to pick for our album too. The album was beautifully wrapped and the quality is great. I'd recommend Amy to anyone who is getting married in Southern California, especially if their event is at Wayfarers Chapel. read more

I don't normally leave reviews but having a wedding was a once in a lifetime event, so I would like to share my experience. All the other reviews, and I read them all before I selected Amy, are exactly how I felt after working with Amy as our wedding and engagement photographer! Thank you Amy Amy has the triple P and more! She is a professional, who is passionate, personable, patient, and honest. Qualities that are an extension of myself and my wife. Most of us will only have one wedding, so it was natural for me to have many questions as it was an investment, and more importantly finding someone that will capture the day so that we can share our photos and video to our kids one day. She answered all my questions and concerns to provide us a peace of mind. While we had a budget the experience did not feel that way, it felt grand and attentive. There are wide variety of options to select from and we chose an option with a 2nd photographer which was still very reasonable. As we look through the gallery for our photo album, if possible consider having a second photographer, as it captured the moments from other angles and it looked candid and natural. If not, Amy can capture the day beautifully on her own as she is the main photographer. The turn around time was very fast, about two weeks but that did not compromise any quality. We have high expectations, and the photos still turned out amazing! One of the best wedding decisions we made. Amy may be a local photographer but at Wayfarers Chapel, she's a gem as she has shot at Wayfarers hundreds of time and at the surrounding areas. For anyone that is interested at Wayfarers, this is important because Wayfarers has only two hours to wrap everything up, and it will fly by! Amy was engaged and managed the guests/crowd which is not easy, was organized and effective in taking many wonderful shots and different angles, and brought the best out of us! We were also one of the first, or the first, to do a video with Amy. I sat with my wife to watch for the first time, and it made us cried-tears of happiness. We are so glad we opted for the video The online gallery is an awesome feature and experience to have and enjoy instantly. We are working on the photo album and we cannot wait to see it! Relax and enjoy on the big day, as it will go be very quickly and Amy will capture all of it! Hope this helps! Cheers btw: photos on yelp may be compressed quality, so look at her website instead!

I cannot say enough about Amy, she is so talented! We hired her to shoot our private beach elopement ceremony in Palos Verdes as well as our reception at the Shade Hotel in Redondo Beach. Both dates that we worked with her were so much fun. She has an eye for great shots and gives clear directives with poses. I hate taking photos and always make weird faces and position my body awkwardly, but Amy was able to capture beautiful and natural shots of me and my husband (and our dog, who participated in the events too!). My husband and I loved working with Amy and will definitely hire her again for photo shoots. read more

Amy did a wonderful job at our wedding. She truly has a gift for what she does. We could not have chosen a better photographer. Every one of her photos was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, easy to speak to, very responsive, and amazingly patient. From the ceremony to the reception, to everything in between; she didn't miss a beat. Every photo, every moment, every angle that she chose, was absolutely stunning. We couldn't be happier with her photos. I would recommend her to anyone searching for a wedding photographer, she will not disappoint. read more

Amy Theilig Photographic - Event Photography Near Me

The amount of planning that is involved with a wedding is so stressful so I was dreading the search for the perfect photographer. I mean, how do you pick a stranger to capture the memories from one of the most important days of your life? I met with a few photographers and although their portfolios were nice, I didn't feel that there was a connection with them. However, when I met Amy, within the first five minutes, I knew she would be the perfect person to capture our wedding. She was so friendly and easy to talk to and we instantly connected. She also brought several albums for me to view as well. I was so set on booking her, that we even changed our wedding date from 08.08.08 to 08.01.08 because she was already booked! We had a very intimate wedding (30 guests) and she was practically invisible during the day but captured all the right moments perfectly. You can tell that she truly loves what she does, is very creative and isn't your typical photographer that uses the same poses for all of her clients. She really takes the time to get to know you and makes you feel comfortable too. Our pictures were absolutely amazing and I love showing off our wedding album to friends and family. Amy showed up early, stayed late and was a professional throughout the entire day. She also got us our pictures in a very timely manner as well as our album and was responsive throughout the entire process. Just as a side note: Since Amy does a lot of work in the South Bay, when ever I see her photography in a local store or magazine, it always puts a smile on my face to know that I was able to have such a talented photographer capture our wedding! read more

Amy was an AMAZING photographer for our wedding! She was organized, professional and a pleasure to work with. Her photos from our wedding look so beautiful. Thank you Amy! read more

Amy is the best!! We hired her for our wedding at wayfarer's chapel. She is very Friendly and professional. We really really loved the pictures!!! Would recommend to everyone!! Thank you Amy for everything. read more

Amy is a GREAT wedding photographer! Our photos turned out beautifully and we absolutely cherish them. Her photography was an incredible value. Our wedding was a couple months ago in October 2016 at the Los Verdes Golf Course. She had a lot of experience at the venue already. It was amazing how many GORGEOUS shots she was getting, especially how she captured split second moments. The website that she uses to deliver the photos to you is great. All together a beautiful process. I highly recommend hiring a 2nd photographer through her too like we did. Having 2 photographers allowed us to get even more gorgeous shots - one could be snapping a must-have moment while the other could snap a sentimental moment that was happening at the same time. I had looked online beforehand and knew I wanted a shot of me and the groom under my veil, so I asked her on the wedding day and she was happy to oblige. If there are a couple shots/poses you know you want, figure it out in advance so you can ask her! You don't want to regret it later. After the wedding day it's too late. Same for which people you'd like to group together in pictures. She did a phone call with us beforehand to talk through important things for her to know and shots we wanted which was really helpful. A couple parts during the day felt rushed, like the family shots and wedding party shots, but she had warned me of that in advance since we only did the 6 hour package, and the photos still turned out beautifully. She also recommended the lighthouse for our first look, and it was great! Amy was one of the vendors we got to know the least on a personal level, just because we didn't have a lot of conversation beforehand except for a few emails and the 30 minute call where we got down to business, but that was okay, she is great at what she does and it shows! One reason we chose her is because of her experience and her extensive education in art and photography which you can find on her website. We are so happy and absolutely love our photos! read more

Highly recommend! read more

Amy Theilig Photographic - Event Photography Near Me

When my now husband and I booked our wedding ceremony at Wayfarers Chapel, we immediately started looking for a photographer who could fit within our budget, while providing experience working that venue, and backed with a portfolio that we liked. No small feat! We were discouraged to find many wedding photographers only offering packages that required their services for 3+ hours, some even insisting on engagement photography on top of the wedding photography services we needed, as a minimum to even book them. All totaling up to a very expensive cost, and much more photography services than we were even looking to get. We decided that we really only needed a photographer to be present during our time at the chapel, which would only last 2 hours. Amy was one of the photographers recommended by the chapel whose portfolio we liked, and who could accommodate our limited photography requirements of 2 hours. Luckily she was available to work our date, so we went ahead and booked her services. Prior to our wedding, I shared with her via Pinterest some wedding photography I liked, that I was hoping she could recreate and capture for us. On the day of our wedding, she arrived on time, and was already shooting away as I walked up to the chapel. She helped coordinate a "first look" between my husband and I, which turned out great. And Amy was also attentive to posing and framing us in similar ways to the Pinterest photos I had shown her. On top of all that, she was great at directing and capturing all our guests at their best, from our 2 year old nephew, to my 74 year old parents, and even our family dog! My mother-in-law was particularly pleased with the photos Amy took of her that day, saying that she's never seen herself look better before in photos. I've heard some brides say that they've had to wait up to 6 months to get their wedding photos back from their photographer. Amy however, delivered our final takes in just over 2 weeks, right as we were returning from our honeymoon (perfect timing)! I have to say that booking the right wedding photographer is an important decision, since you only get one chance to capture those moments. I'm happy to say that Amy was the right photographer for us, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone else, for whatever life event or milestone you are hoping to capture! read more

We found Amy through our ceremony location. Wayfarers Chapel has a recommended photographers list as they prefer to have a photographer that is knowledgeable with the grounds and their, well, rules. I instantly fell in love with Amy's portfolio and after speaking with her I was set in our decision. We also had a set budget, and Amy had a package that just fit us. I am so unbelievably glad we chose Amy!! She arrived on time, even though I was running late getting ready! She and her assistant, with huge smiles on, said no problem and they just hustled around taking the bouquet and dress photos. When I was finally ready for the dress there they were. Amy and her assistant were so professional and made the whole day and night so much easier! We had them for 6 hours, which after looking around is an amazing deal! I had multiple people at our reception mention how our photographer seemed to be everywhere! I heard a few descriptions of like a ninja used! They said that every time there was that picture perfect moment, one of them was there to capture it with out being invasive at all! It was so wonderful to hear and I could not wait to see the pictures! I was in no way let down! I actually was floored with how much I loved the photos! They are all absolutely beautiful! Amy has an amazing eye for photos! Her lighting and her knack for framing the picture with nature is uncanny! I now have the problem of picking my favorites, which is almost impossible! Amy is also extremely fast on getting the photos edited and up for viewing. We had ours in less then a month! The flash drive we received is also above and beyond what was expected. I figured it would just be a flash drive, but no, Amy managed to make that beautiful also!!! Thank you again Amy! I can not recommend Amy Theilig enough!!! read more

Amy Theilig Photographic - Our beautiful flash drive! - Event Photography Near Me

I am so happy we hired Amy. If you're looking for a photographer, go with Amy! You won't regret it! My husband hates taking photos so he was dreading having a photographer, but after our engagement photos, Amy made us feel so comfortable, that he said he actually had fun! As we were leaving the engagement shoot and he told me that, I already knew Amy was the right choice, and then we got the photos back and they were beautiful so I was so happy we had Amy as our photographer for our wedding. On our wedding day, Amy was so efficient. She's great at getting the right shots and not wasting time doing so - one of my bridesmaids was in another wedding recently and she actually thanked me because she said that the other photographer took so long for the posed photographs, but Amy's process was quick and painless so everyone could get back to the wedding! Amy's turnaround time is also incredibly quick - we got back from our honeymoon 2 weeks after our wedding, and the photos were ready! They were gorgeous! I don't always love photos of myself, but I loved every single photo in our album. Every one! She captured all of the important moments (big and small), so I can flip through the photos and relive our entire day. I'm so grateful to have our wedding day so beautifully documented. Thank you, Amy! read more

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 that views it is impressed. 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 price 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. Later after our wedding, she did a family shoot for my sister's family. And if that isn't enough, my cousin who is getting married later this year is planning on using her too. Let's just say we are all fans. read more

When you are choosing a photographer for your wedding, you have to decide if you want someone to simply document images of your wedding, or if you want an artist to capture the elegance and exquisiteness of your special day. Amy uses her camera like a paintbrush to produce beautiful works of fine art in which you are the primary subject. There are so many people these days walking around with high resolution cameras in their mobile phones. Almost anyone can take a high quality snapshot, and if that is all you are looking for, then just have your family and friends snap away. But, if you are looking for more depth and artistic quality in your wedding photos then do not hesitate to contact Amy. My wedding took place on a beautiful Southern California afternoon at an amazing location, and I remember thinking how awesome everything looked during the ceremony. Then, when I got the pictures back from Amy, I was stunned and near disbelief about how sublime the they were. They were so much more impressive that I thought they would be. The way the colors pop out of the photos is just incredible, and Amy composed the pictures in a way that took full advantage of the surroundings to enhance how we looked. In none of the pictures did I feel that the art itself was more important to our wedding though - on the contrary, Amy turned our wedding into an extraordinary work of art. read more

We would highly recommend Amy to anyone getting married. She is a wonderful photographer. She was really able to capture our special day. She was so easy to work with and very professional. She made us and our friends and family feel very comfortable. All of our pictures turned out great. She captured so many natural candid moments as well as great posed photos. read more

Amy was supper professional to work with. She was on time, organized and knew how to make us feel comfortable for our wedding pictures at Shade Hotel.

Amy Theilig photography was wonderful to work with! Amy shot our daughters wedding in April and her pictures were amazing! With all the uncertainty due to COVID, Amy was always very reassuring. She arrived promptly, was very organized and made this day so enjoyable for us. With multiple different sites used for pictures, Amy captured our daughter and her husband beautifully. The pictures of the couple at Wayfarer's Chapel and at the beach at Terrenea were stunning. We utilized 2 photographers-Amy and Kelly- and both were easy to work with and captured the day . Thank you Amy for giving us so many beautiful memories of this day. I highly recommend Amy for your photographic needs. read more

Amy is a WONDERFUL photographer. Amy's photography captured our wedding day beautifully. She did a seamless job directing us to capture the surrounding outdoor ocean scenery of the Point Vicente Interpretive Center. The photos were vibrant, fun, and natural looking. I recommend her to handle your wedding day photos, she was professional, reasonably priced, and easy to work with before and day of the wedding. read more

Amy did the photography for our engagement photo shoot and for our wedding day. I can't rave enough about how happy I am with how the pictures turned out. I have a giant family, and she did an excellent job getting photos of each family member, both staged with the bride and groom, and in action at the party. The entire family is absolutely thrilled about the quality and amount of great photos she got. Wedding days can be pretty hectic so you want to make sure you have a photographer like Amy who is a true professional to take care of you and get the photos done the right way. Thank you so much Amy for the photos, we will love them forever! read more

Amy is AMAZING! She did two engagement sessions with us and our wedding and there just aren't enough words to explain how much we love the pictures. She is so good and so easy to work with. She made us feel comfortable right off the bat and we are so thankful that we have these beautiful pictures to remember the best day of our lives. I would highly recommend Amy for anyone looking for an amazing photographer for their wedding! read more

In one word... AMAZING! Wayfarer's Chapel is a breathtaking chapel, I have to admit I was nervous when picking a photographer because I was afraid that we may not find the right person to capture all of its beauty. Amy did just that! She did such a great job directing the shots and managed to capture every moment (and emotion) on our wedding day. When we saw the product of her work, I was able to look at the collection and relive every sentiment I felt that day. All I can say is that, she not only WOWed us, but all of our family and friends. I've gotten so many compliments on Amy's work. My favorite: "Wow, the pictures look like they were pulled from a magazine!" I would HIGHLY recommend Amy for any occasion. It's funny, my husband and I live in Texas (our families live in Ca) but we've already discussed flying back and hiring Amy for our family pictures once our first child is born! Have I mentioned how amazing she is??? Amy, you truly are an artist! Thank you for making our memories looks so beautiful on print! read more

Amy came highly recommended through not only our wedding venue but also several of our friends, and we look forward to paying this forward. From our first meeting- our 'mini engagement shoot', Amy helped us feel comfortable instantly. Her professionalism shown through as she guided us in various poses and captured the moment impeccably. We were blown away when we received our proofs and could not have asked for a better photographer to document our BIG DAY!! Many thanks to Amy and her team! The Epands read more

Great photography! They were very professional and detailed. We are not in our 20's but she made every shot look amazing! We cannot wait to see our albulm. We interviewed maybe 5 photographers before choosing this team and we are thrilled! She was timely and great photographer! read more

Simply put, Amy is perfect! We looked around for photographers for our wedding and were immediately drawn to Amy after looking at her portfolio and reviews. It wasn't hard getting beautiful pics of my bride but, somehow, Amy even made me look good :-) The engagement pics were stunning and the day of the wedding Amy and her assistant took the pressure off of us and made us feel at ease while she let her creative juices frame each picture and tell a beautiful story. Amy is friendly and professional and takes the time to understand what the subjects are looking for and makes suggestions and decisions that result in a portfolio of scenes, not just pics. She memorialized our special day beautifully. We could not be happier with the results. read more

I loved working with Amy! She is very easy to work with and quickly understands what your style needs are. I highly recommend checking out her work! I mean I am a master at making faces and "ruining the shot" and was sure that I was going to spend a lot of time veto-ing photos. This was not the case, she managed to capture us (myself included) in the best light. I cannot recommend Amy enough. She is so sweet and easy to work with. Her work is beautiful and I am still obsessing over my photos. read more

Amy is one of the best wedding photographers I have even seen! Her professionalism and portfolio blew me away when I first met her. She put my fiancé and I at ease and was confident she would capture every special moment of our big day. And boy did she deliver! She brought along a second photographer, Brittany and from the moment they arrived til the end they were busy snapping photos! I just received my photos today and I can't stop smiling I love the work she produced. One of the best decisions was booking her for our big day! read more

Excellent and very professional are words that immediately come to mind when I think about Amy's work. We chose Amy as our wedding photographer. We are glad we picked her. Our wedding photos are so beautiful. She captured our special moment and turned it into a timeless masterpiece that we can treasure forever! Her photographs captured all the emotions, the magical energy and the beauty of our collective experience. Amy covered our wedding by herself but she was efficient and omnipresent! We are lucky to have found her! Thanks a million Amy! read more

Amy is such a wonderful and talented photographer, and we could not be happier with our gorgeous album! Her design and layouts are unique, artistic, and simply beautiful. She was a delight to work with on the day of our wedding. Amy and her assistant were present for all of our moments without being obtrusive, and she captured so many natural and organic moments that it was hard to narrow down our favorites. Her website made it easy to select extra photos to order and share prints with our family and friends. Our album is an absolute work of art! I strongly recommend Amy T Photo! read more

Amy was on the recommended photographer list on both my wedding ceremony (wayfarer's Chapel) and reception (Bluewater Grill). She did a great job capturing all the memorable moments on the day.

Highly recommend. read more

Amy Theilig photographed our wedding in September of this year. We contracted her based on a recommendation by our venue. We met with her, looked at her work and booked her! She did a beautiful job with our wedding photos. The images are very vivid, bright and carefully thought out. She was right on time the day of and stayed a little later then she had to. She was very discreet during the ceremony and reception, which was a lovely touch. We received our pictures very quickly and our album as well (which is absolutely beautiful and worth every penny!). There was a small error on one of the pictures in the album and she did not hesitate to fix it. Great service! read more

When you have your first child you want their portraits to show all the special things you see as a mother come through in the photos..Amy did that and MORE! She was so amazing and got the most incredible shots of my little one!
