The passion & talent Amber & Michael have for photos & their clients is off the charts! You can literally see it in their work capturing all of the emotion & moments of a wedding. It is story telling at its best. They are easy to work with and heavily invested. Work with them, they will absolutely take care of you! read more

We have the best time working with French Sessa! They photographed our engagement and wedding memories and I could not have asked for a better team. Working with Amber and Mike, gave us a great sense of comfort and confidence which made taking photos all the more fun!! Their photographs are so dreamy and vibe-y, they really capture the sweetest and funnest moments. Such a great team! Highly, highly recommend! read more

All I can say is WOW. Amber and Michael are angels sent from photography heaven! My now-husband and I agree that hiring them to take our wedding photos was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. My husband was referred to Amber when he was looking to have some head shots taken (he's a musician). One of the images she captured of him ended up being the cover of one of his albums! I was so impressed with the photos she took that I was all in when we got engaged and my husband mentioned that Amber and her husband also shoot weddings. Thankfully the stars aligned and they were available to shoot our small wedding ceremony in Discovery Park! Working with Amber and Michael day of the ceremony was a dream. They are two of the most kind, positive, and charming people I have met and their presence really made the day even more special. They were so easy and fun to work with! They appreciated all the little sentimental details we had planned and got photos of absolutely everything. From our rings to my husband's suspenders, from posed photos to candid photos of us and our families. I especially loved all of their creative ideas for our couple portraits. They coached us through poses and angles that I would never have thought of in a million years and the finished product was INCREDIBLE. We had some ideas of what we wanted for our photos but we trusted Amber and Michael's vision 100% and really wanted them to bring their own creativity and expertise to our photos. Boy did they deliver! Our finished photos came back and my jaw just hit the floor. I'll be honest, I cried. There is such a nice range of different ideas and vision in our finished photos. My absolute favorites are the very abstract, beautifully composed collage photos that are works of art. They remind me of impressionistic paintings and could honestly be hung in an art gallery. TL;DR HIRE THESE TWO. Highly, highly recommend French Sessa Photo!! read more

I had the pleasure of hiring Amber as our wedding photographer last year. I went into the idea of an engagement shoot /wedding photography with a lot of anxiety. I hate having my picture taken and tend to be really uncomfortable when I know it's happening. But the day of the engagement shoot I felt immediately at ease. Amber and her husband Mike were a dream to work with. Her energy and expertise behind the camera allowed my husband and I to just be ourselves and have fun. The pictures were adorable and we had a great time. To seal the deal Amber and Mike found out we were having car trouble that day and even drove my husband to work. That was totally unexpected and that was when I knew I had to have Amber be a part of my special day. Flash forward a few months before the wedding: Amber and I meet up for drinks and discuss important details of the day of. I proceed to drink one too many cocktails and she and I have more fun than you should when you are discussing stressful events and details. It felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. I still continued to be pleased with Amber's attention to detail and how much she helped me with even non photography related wedding planning. Flash forward night before wedding: Do you know how much easier it is to sleep the night before your wedding when you know you're going to have great pictures? Ladies, Amber is the real authentic deal. I cannot imagine my special day without her. She caught everything and more. There was not a moment missed. I felt like she was so good at being a part of the crowd and just rolled with the punches. All my friends remarked how comfortable they felt with her. My friends aren't an easy crowd. That is a gift. I still continue to love my wedding pictures more and more even a year later and I know I will cherish them for a lifetime. Thanks to Amber I will be able to look back and capture the true emotion behind the day whenever I want a walk down memory lane. Look no further Amber is all you will need for your special day. read more

We had so much fun working with Amber and Michael at our wedding reception in North Bend! We appreciated how they took the time to get to know us as a couple and our vision for the photos beforehand. They have such a beautiful way of capturing authentic emotion, spontaneous moments, and exquisite lighting with their unique perspectives behind the lens. We love how the photos turned out and can't wait to frame a few for our home! read more

French Sessa Photo - Session Photography Near Me

My girlfriend thought that we were heading to Seattle on a whim. I told her that I wanted to check out the sights and drink some good beer. She had no clue that I had been planning my proposal with Amber and Michael for a few weeks prior. Being from Sacramento, California, all I could do was Google sites that would work. Amber and Michael were so helpful in proposing different ideas and locations. It is no understatement in the slightest to say that I couldn't have accomplished this mission without them. We decided on the Volunteer Park Conservatory and coordinated the big moment through texts. The biggest challenge was having them take photos without alerting my girlfriend of their true intention. Amber and Michael took the challenge and succeeded with flying colors. She was oblivious to the fact that they were actually snapping pics of us and thought that we were in their way the whole time. It wasn't until their big reveal that it all hit her. Afterwards, they graciously showed us the best sights of Seattle while taking more pictures. I had no doubt in their talent and trusted their judgement as they drove from location after location. The experience was surreal and we could not have asked for a more delightful couple to be a part of our moment. They put in so much work and effort and were so very professional and kind. Words cannot describe the efforts they took to truly make our day memorable. Amber and Michael will always have a special place in our hearts. -David & Jeanette read more

French Sessa Photo - Volunteer Park Conservatory. - Session Photography Near Me

Amber and Mike put their heart into their work on our wedding day. They were professional, paid attention to detail and produced awe-inspiring images. We will always treasure them for their meaning, beauty and the emotion that she so artfully captured. Despite unplanned mishaps, they were extremely flexible and their warm and friendly demeanor kept our family and wedding party comfortable and relaxed, including the groom who prefers the other side of the lens. Our photo DVD arrived in a timely fashion, packaged with care and a unique creativity that only added to the wonderful experience. We received both print and web versions, not to mention the extra "bloopers" that didn't make the cut! :) We would highly recommend Amber and Mike for your special occasion. Jereme + Rose read more

French Sessa Photo - J+R - Session Photography Near Me

We have been using Amber and Michael as our family photographer since our first daughters birth 2.5 years ago and their photos are always are favorites!! They capture her growing face, our families energy and the moments we never thought were captured with so much grace, ease and positivity. We thoroughly enjoy working with this magical duo because they make it so easy! Their energy is always exuding through their humor, smile and gentle ways. We're always amazed when the email comes from Amber saying our photos are ready to view....it just takes our breathe away every.single.time. We've hired them to be the birth photographer for our second child, and we trust that these photos will be just as epic and special. You will not regret hiring them- they're so creative behind the lens, always offering unique shots and angles. read more

Well, an update - the pictures are awesome! I didn't mention it before, but Amber's photo packages are great for people who don't want to pay for super-expensive photo books. She puts all the pictures on a site you can order prints from, and you get a DVD of all of the photos. So we can print out our own pictures and make our own books, for way less money. I completely recommend Amber for wedding photography - you'll get great pictures, and she's a blast to hang out with, too! read more

Truly amazing! Amber you were so sweet to work together with on my inspiration shoot! Amber captured every single last detail that I had wanted, and went past my vision and got some spectacular shots. I LOVE her work and would highly highly recommend her to my brides! She has such a unique style and vision and always has a smile on her face while while hard at work. Love her! read more

Amber shot both our engagement and wedding pictures. It was everything we asked for and more. She got the pictures back to us VERY quickly. Most photographers takes months, Amber was within just a couple weeks. There's not a single complaint I have about working with her. She was always on time, responsive, and completely professional. To say her work was "amazing" or "excellent" would be an injustice. She's just that good! read more

We were thrilled with Amber as our wedding photographer. Her work really surpassed our expectations. Amber is great at capturing people with her lens. She has such a pleasing personality while shooting that she seems to be able to win over and open up even the most difficult of subjects. She exudes warmth. She gets very difficult shots (facial reactions, interesting juxtapositions) in a way that captures the moment in a very personal, even fantastically journalistic way. Amber has such a great way of effortlessly captures great little moments that later will become treasured photographs. read more

Amber did my sisters wedding pictures and I of course needed the same photographer to do my wedding too! Amber captured those in between moments that you think are only between you and your future husband, but Amber has a knack of being in the right spot at all the right times. Amber made our small intimate wedding feel grand and lavish and I STILL go back and show my wedding pictures with pride as they are truly stunning. I still have the same feelings from my wedding day when I go back and look at my wedding book. It brings a sense of joy to my face as I look back....THANK YOU for being the most creative, artistic and amazing photographer ever Amber! Oh and have I mentioned the wedding book she made for us? She chose the BEST shots and put it all together so it flowed perfectly from the beginning to the end of our very long wedding day. Amber also shot our engagement photos that are cluttered all over our house. They were energetic and fun with lots of color and movement but also lots of loving embraces without being uber lovey dovey and cheesy....just a little cheesy cause thats what we wanted :) read more

Dear Amber The photos you took for the wedding were just lovely. I would recommend you and your work to anyone seeking a wedding photographer. You were able to capture the spirit of the wedding, and many lovely individual images of the participants in spontaneous interactions. You put people at ease and brought the best out of the wonderful experience. If you ever need a reference from a mother of the bride, please call on me. Warmly Mary Stowell read more

I looked at several photographers websites while looking for a wedding photographer and Amber's site immediately caught my eye. Her work looks like it should belong in a professional classy catalog. I used her for my engagment and wedding pictures and absolutely LOVE them. My guests and family loved the pictures as well. Would recommend her to everyone! read more

Amber is amazing! I have spoken with a lot people that she has worked with and none of them have had a single negative thing to say. She is great at capturing the moment and beyond, I felt like she photographed our whole love story. I HATE having my picture taken and Amber put me at ease so fast, it was enjoyable and I was able to forget about the camera. I will never go anywhere else for photos and recommend that you don't either. We are excitedly waiting for the arrival of a book that she is putting together for us and I will post a review for that when we get it. Pictures last forever, if you want them to beautifully tell your story, pick Amber. Amber French Photography is the best out there. read more

We are absolutely OVER THE MOON about our wedding photographs!!! Thank you so much Amber and Mikey for the most incredible photographs of our wedding day!! We will feel forever indebted to both of you for them. The photographs of all our beautiful memories are just priceless. One in particular of my grandma smiling, the pure happiness (especially since she doesnt usually smile) on her face is one of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen and we will cherish it forever. If you are getting married and looking for a wedding photographer, know that Amber and Mike are absolute sweethearts and two of the most loving and caring people you will ever meet. They are more than just photographers, they are caring friends and will support you on your wedding day. Thank you so much again from the bottom of our hearts for all the beautiful wedding photographs and for being there with us on our special day. We can wait to see you both again in the future and capture more memories, maybe a special anniversary!!! Love, Sabrina & Dallas read more

If your looking for a talented photographer amber is the way to go, she's an artist, she really sees the beauty in things and is able to capture it. My husband and i had our anniversary pictures taken by her and we're both very uncomfortable in front of the camera but she made us feel really comfortable and joked around and made it lots of fun it was a great experience! read more

Amber and Michael are great - talented, friendly, easy to work with, and professional. Our wedding photos turned out beautifully! They also did a great job on our engagement photos. Hire them! read more

I can't recommend Amber highly enough! From the second I called her to inquire about wedding photography she was incredibly warm and personable, and such a pleasure to work with. She really took the time to get to know us, as well as what we wanted to get out of our events and photos, and that kind of personal attention definitely paid off! We had an absolute blast working with her on our wedding day -- she was somehow able to be everywhere at once, capturing everything from couple and family portraits to fantastic candid shots and memorable moments, and yet never imposing or distracting from the day or events. Her professionalism and expertise were impeccable, but best of all she adds such warmth, generosity and artistry to an already amazing day! We just got our photos back and are absolutely thrilled with the outcome. I highly recommend her as a wedding photographer (or for other events/occasions), as her combination of skill and personability really can't be beat! read more

Amber is the best! She took pictures for my band and the results were fabulous. She was patient, had a keen eye and her warm personality kept the session upbeat. She is a great communicator and was able to listen to to what I needed from the session while still leaving room for the spontaneous to happen. She is both artful and professional. Highly recommended!! read more

I apologize for not writing this sooner! Amber did our wedding over a year ago now and we love our photos! She was so easy to work with and met with me and really listened to our ideas and what we wanted for our day. She went over and beyond what I expected of a wedding photographer, she not only discussed the photo ideas but also helped me make an itinerary for the day. We were very comfortable with her and she took so many amazing shots of us and our family and friends, she really captured the day perfectly and we will have these memories forever because of her. Thank you Amber! read more

Amber photographed our wedding and just recently did a family photo session. Our photos are FANTASTIC and she is great to work with. Very positive, upbeat and calm. I am not a person who is very comfortable with getting my picture taken but she made the whole process very comfortable and natural. It was like having a friend around who happens to take amazing photos. She was really attuned with what we wanted from the shots. She picked up on our vibe and suggested good locations and ideas that felt like "us" and not just the standard shots. She is open to fun, creative and interesting ideas. I refer her to all my friends and we will definitely be using her again! read more

Amber's work is very much a reflection of her personality. She sees the beauty in everything, in everyone, and has the uncanny ability to capture that beauty through her lens. It's more than a talent, more than an art, it's a perception that she and her viewfinder somehow share in seeing past a person's exterior, and instead, expressing their essence. I don't know how she does it, but I do know that I wish I lived in a world as full of splendor and potential as Amber French's world is. Over the years she has gorgeously captured my wedding, family photos, and my younger brothers graduation photos. In each instance she went above and beyond and delivered incredible work. I'd highly recommend her. read more

Amber is amazing. She got great shots and she managed to make us feel at ease. Amber and Michael are great people to hang out with, we didn't even feel how the time passed. She asked what we had in mind and she helped us in choosing the best location and time. She suggested to split the session to avoid the rain. The pictures are wonderful. I totally recommend her for engagement and wedding photo shoot sessions. read more

I hired Amber French for my wedding in 2013, and I must say, I was beyond thrilled. She met with me months in advance to discuss what I envisioned for my day. i thought I would scare her away once I told her my theme for my wedding (peter pan, neverland, cowboys and indians) but her reaction was just the opposite, she is not intimidated in the slightest by a themed wedding. Day of came and she and her partner Mike were the epitome of professional. They were relaxed and they encouraged me and my husband to act natural. She didn't put us into any dorky poses that we would never do in real life and she didn't make us take 10000 kissing pictures. Because of the naturalness we were so much more at ease, and the pictures reflect that. They stayed with us all day, capturing every moment. I still get strangers telling me they saw my wedding photographs and were inspired to use Amber French for their wedding or event. I love displaying the prints in my home and I'm sure we will enjoy them for years and years. If you are on the fence about your photographer, I highly recommend Amber French! read more

Amber and Michael are amazing!! I stumbled across Amber's website by chance and fell in love with the pictures I saw there. Amber and Michael photographed my recent wedding at the Seattle court house and couldn't be happier with the whole experience! Immediately, I was impressed with how professional, creative, and easy to work with they are. From start to finish, they made me feel at ease and stress-free - which is how the bride should feel on her wedding day :-) They made our day truly special and the pictures are gorgeous! I'm so glad I hired them; I would highly recommend Amber French Photography! read more

I'm from Brazil and I was looking for someone to take some pictures from me and my groom, in Seattle. I researched, researched... until I find Amber. Love at first sight! Amber isn't only competent. She is sweet, funny, lovely, cute. And Michael is as brilliant as her. Their work is beautiful! Amber can capture what our soul is feeling. My groom and I loved each photo. If you need someone special to capture an importante moment of your life, this is the tip: choose Amber French! read more

The world needs more beautiful ppl like Amber and Michael. Not only are they amazing photographers, but they are very kind and go above and beyond. This past weekend my fiance proposed and they caught the moment in the most beautiful ways! After the photos were done, they ever so ardently showed us around Seattle. I would recommend them in a heartbeat! My fiance abt I will be forever grateful :) read more

Amber was the first photographer I met for my wedding and the rest is history. She is such a easy going person to work with and really walked me through the whole process. Amber was also my semi wedding planner as the ceremony was in Seattle and I'm from Boston. She recommended some great people for make up and hair and really it couldn't have turned out better. Our photos are vibrant and captured everything we wanted and more! So basically what I'm trying to say is....she's awesome. Sorry the best man tried to hit on you from the balcony Amber haha. read more

Amber and Mike shot our wedding and they were awesome. We had a ton of fun running around Pike Place Market and the waterfront for our engagement photo shoots. They were excited to work with all the ideas we had and make them even better. Amber has a great sense of making the pictures unique and fit the personality of the individuals she is working with. Her and Mike captured everything, when we received our wedding book it was presented in such a way that you could see the entire sequence of events and get a great feel of the atmosphere. I would recommend them to anyone. Plus, they are just fun people. read more

We love Amber and Michael!!! They are amazingly talented, professional, and super sweet. They understood our vision, delivered the exact style of photography we wanted, and exceeded our expectations. Any questions we had were addressed fully and quickly. We look back at our wedding photos often, and are so happy we invested in Amber and Michael. We would definitely use them again! read more

Absolutely amazing! Amber & Michael photographed our wedding and they were an incredible team. The photos look absolutely beautiful, and they completely put us at ease. We are both a bit shy at having our photos taken but Amber made us feel completely comfortable, and really captured who we are through the photos she took. There was a fantastic mix between posed portraits and natural photos and Amber captured moments I hardly even remember from the day! We really couldn't have been more happy with our photos. And apart from their incredible photos, Amber & Michael were just the loveliest people ever. I would wholeheartedly recommend them! read more

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Amber and Mike from Amber French Photography. They worked with us for our engagement photos, and our wedding photos. They were excellent! Not only was Amber's artistic style exactly what we were looking for, but they were wonderful people too. My wife and I don't consider ourselves to be photogenic and we normally highly dislike getting our photos taken, but Amber did a superb job of capturing natural poses and making us feel relaxed. My wife was very specific with her interests in our wedding photos and Amber satisfied all of our needs. Amber and Mike had a great range in the types of photos that they take. We were married on Orcas Island and they perfectly captured our outdoor/nature pictures, wedding decorations, group poses, and the unique challenges of photographing our ceremony. In addition to the amazing pictures, Amber was able to tell the story of our relationship through the pictures themselves. We had the best experience possible with Amber and Mike. Their pricing structure is also affordable and Amber has many options to choose from. read more

wow! just wow! My fiance and I just got the photos from Amber, and WOW! words just don't do them justice! We couldn't be happier with them.. My fiance is self-admittedly not photogenic, and Amber's photos are the best photos I've EVER seen of him! Not only are they incredibly creative photos, but they capture the personality of the subject. I felt like they really represented us, and my friends say I look SO happy in them! if you want a photographer who captures the beautiful moments without 'posing', amber is your girl! She is just so sweet too! I also really appreciated that she took the time to know us and to really personalize our session with us. I wish so much that Amber could take our wedding photos too, sadly we picked out venue date before we contacted her, otherwise I would have seriously considered moving our wedding date so that we could book her, she's just THAT good! If you go with Amber you definitely won't regret it. read more
