    Audrey is a dream maker!!

    Audrey was a phenomenal choice for this job!!! 12 out of 10 would hire again, SERIOUSLY!! She helped me set up a secret proposal shoot so the candid moments would be eternalized for us to visit time and time again. When the plan hit a speed bump with the location she immediately searched for and found an alternative all the while giving me updates about the situation and sending pictures of the alternatives locations. She could've just called it and reverted to the 2nd day option we set up, but she knew me and what I would want. After we sneakily found the winning spot, and my date concluded with my betrothed-to-be we set out. Taking a few candids as we approached the spot, she gave me the signal and I went into action. Getting down on one knee and forgetting what I rehearsed, I poured my heart out and Audrey was able to beautifully capture the raw emotions from both myself and my betrothed. The shots capture that love and reflect it back when you look at them. We have already booked her for our wedding shoot and I think others should too. This is art and Audrey is an artist. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN AUDREY!!! WE LOVE YOU!!

    Incredible photographer

    Working with Audrey was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only did her photos turn out so beautifully, but she showed up with such authenticity, warmth, and energy all while being a polished professional. It’s clear she truly cares and loves what she does, and her experience shines through. She also hired an excellent second shooter, Mike, who was a pleasure to work with and captured a whole other perspective and lots of guest photos. We’re so glad we met Audrey and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to capture the personality of the day while feeling relaxed and present.

    Best Wedding Photos EVER

    Audrey was simply AMAZING from start to finish! From our very first meeting, she was incredibly organized, thoughtful, and thorough. She asked all the right questions and even thought of things we never would have! She worked seamlessly on our timeline alongside our venue coordinator and day-of coordinator, which made the entire process feel so easy and stress-free. And now, time for the photos… 10,000/10. Absolutely STUNNING. Our engagement photos were beautiful, but our wedding photos are truly beyond words. We are obsessed. Audrey captured every big moment, all the little details, and everything in between. Looking through our gallery feels like we get to relive the entire day all over again. On top of being incredibly talented, Audrey is so personable and makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She gives you direction and helps with posing when you need it, while also capturing the most natural, candid moments. She somehow manages to be everywhere you want her to be without ever feeling intrusive. We would recommend Audrey 100% in a heartbeat for wedding, engagement, or boudoir photography. If you’re looking for someone who is organized, incredibly talented, personable, and genuinely invested in making your photos amazing — book Audrey... You will not regret it!

    Perfect photos, and a dream to work with!

    We were so glad we chose Audrey Simper Photography for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Audrey was organized and easy to work with, and her down-to-earth approach put us at ease right away. Her photos are stunning - she has a real talent for capturing photos in natural lighting and adding personal touches or prompts that make each shot feel natural and like ours. On the day of, she had a calming presence and was everywhere we needed her to be, catching all the moments that mattered. We loved getting a quick preview of our photos so soon after the wedding. Audrey (and Lauren her second shooter) was truly a great addition to our special day, and we couldn't recommend her more highly.

    Rehearsal Dinner/Wedding Photography

    We decided to work with Audrey and her team for photography for our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. Leading up to the big day, we primarily communicated with Audrey. She was always so responsive and helped us formulate a plan as we only had a general idea in mind for what we wanted for photos. She was such a joy to work with for our rehearsal dinner and did a great job of capturing so many phenomenal photos without feeling like we had to constantly pose. We worked with one of her associates, Misa, on our wedding day. He and the secondary photographer were great about keeping things moving and capturing our friends and family in their natural element! Could not recommend Audrey and her team enough! Made us feel so comfortable (especially as someone that doesn’t love having their picture taken) and have truly loved looking back at all the pictures from the weekend!


Turnover for weddings is 2-3 months depending on workload. Sneak peak within 1 week post wedding. For portraits, engagement, boudoir session turnover is 2-4 weeks depending on workload.
Yes! I never expect any of my clients to know how to pose. That is my job. I like to aim for a mix of candids & posed photos. Even when posing my goal is to help you feel comfortable and look your best. We can discuss your insecurities, wants and needs at our consultation call.
This varies depending on the hours of coverage, number of guests, and what takes place at the wedding. At a minimum you can expect 500 edited images, for an average 8hr wedding day I usually deliver 1,000 edited images.
I have two of everything so if something goes wrong with a camera, lens, flash or SD card on a wedding day I have backups just in case! I also carry business insurance, liability insurance and my equipment is insured. Because technology isn't always reliable, I have 2-3 backups of each wedding I shoot. I archive your wedding after delivery for at least one year & teach my clients how to archive their images properly. I love to include a 2nd shooter because if anything happens to me they are already there, holding the date, and ready to step into a lead role. This is why I only hire seconds who I would trust to shoot your wedding.
Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
