About Amy Van Vlear Photographer

Amy Van Vlear Photographer

Wedding Photographer based in Southern California

Laid back + artist at heart + always down for a good party! I've been shooting artful and meaningful weddings since 2012 and loving every minute- meeting new people and helping to tell a part of their story makes it all worthwhile and is an honor I don't take lightly!

My style is modern, sophisticated, and artsy with a good bit of nostalgic feeling. I'm here for all those sweet candid moments that show who you two are and how the day felt, as well as those artsy editorial portraits that make you look amazing! I'll make you feel comfortable in front of the camera- when we are shooting together it feels more like we're just hanging out and having a good time, more so than posing in a photoshoot.

    Best Wedding Photographer

    Completely in command of her camera and of the room, Amy will not only guide you through feeling confident during the photography process, she furthers the value of her service in her image editing process, as she spends time editing each of her images individually to perfection. So grateful to have worked with such a talented proffesional.

    We had such a wonderful experience working with Amy for both our engagement shoot and wedding. From the very beginning, she made us feel incredibly comfortable with her warm, bubbly personality. That was something that mattered a lot to us — we wanted our wedding day to feel relaxed and genuine, and Amy truly made it feel like we had a friend there documenting all the special moments instead of it feeling overly posed or stressful. Her photography style was also exactly what we were looking for — very candid, natural, and artistic. She captured so many genuine moments and emotions throughout the day in such a beautiful way. Our engagement shoot was so fun and enjoyable as well. Amy was very open to different ideas, listened carefully to what we wanted, and made the entire process feel easy and collaborative. On the wedding day, she also did an amazing job making sure she captured photos with everyone we wanted, which meant a lot to us because there were so many important people and moments we didn’t want to miss. Overall, not only are the photos beautiful, but the entire experience of working with Amy was amazing from start to finish. We’re so grateful we chose her and would absolutely hire her again in the future. Highly recommend!

    It’s exciting when you chose the most perfect vendor for your wedding, but more than a vendor I can’t recommended Amy as a person more. After meeting with Amy while choosing our wedding photographer, it was an immediate yes. Not only were we excited about her portfolio of work, but we also felt so comfortable on that first call. That sense of ease was everything, and it carried through every step of the process. We did an engagement shoot with her, which I highly recommend. It helped us get comfortable working together so that on the wedding day, we could just be in the moment and not think twice about the camera. Amy really listened to what we wanted and captured so many meaningful memories from the day. She got the shots we asked for, but also the in-between moments we didn’t even realize we needed. That’s truly her strength. Nothing felt staged. It was real, emotional, and you can feel the love not just between my husband and me, but from every guest who was there. She’s also incredibly professional and responsive, and made us feel taken care of from start to finish. Having her there meant one less thing to worry about on the wedding day. Now we’re honestly just looking for excuses to keep working with her. She’s both a talent and someone we genuinely want in our lives forever.

Absolutely! I thrive on exploring new places and I would love to visit you or hear about your dream location ideas
Always. I want to give my clients the best possible experience and that includes being prepared for every situation & keeping your photos safe no matter what.
Yes I do! I highly recommend getting your beautiful photographs into tangible frames and books so they don’t just sit on your computer. You can order high quality prints and albums with any of the wedding collections I offer. I have a background in graphic design so I hand-design each album layout and I use a professional industry-grade printer through my business.
My photography is modern + editorial + sophisticated + nontraditional, a perfect combination of documentary-style storytelling & artistic portraiture. I am here to document beautiful moments and experiences that are meaningful!
After I receive your inquiry we'll hop on a call so I can hear more about what you're dreaming up and send you a custom quote. When you choose a package I'll send over a contract and a deposit of 1/3 the total cost of your package will be due. Then it'll be official and we can get to all the fun stuff!
