"My biggest gripe about Amberlei? Not enough wall space for all the photo magic!! I may need a bigger house to display all our most cherished moment. What a beautiful problem to have!

​

Since our first meeting a few years ago Amberlei has been a gift to our family. We started as strangers with a gifted engagement shoot and have been inseparable since. She has documented our engagement, boudoir, wedding, maternity and newborn photos. We have found our lifetime photographer and we couldn't be happier! I now wouldn't trust our most special moments with anyone else.

​

Amberlei's creativity and ability to capture our unique story is priceless. Her knowledge of lighting and eye for detail give so much life to our shoots. nothing feels staged or awkward, and she has the best knack for making the moments fun! You can see it in our captured smiles and laughter that we are having the best time. It is effortless, which says a LOT for my husband and I who are awkward and shy in front of the lens. So many of my favorite images come from Amberlei's suggestions, insight, and outright funny commentary. We have tackled bad weather, cranky kids, and poor lighting all resulting in some of the most wonderful shots I couldn't have dreamed up! It is evident that not only does Amberlei know her craft well, but she knows people well. She takes everyday life moments captures the magic. I couldn't think of a better attribute for a storyteller. And a storyteller she definitely is.

​

Thank you Amberlei for capturing our love and our life for our family to enjoy forever. You've gifted us the best problem to have, not knowing which photos to choose!! I will cherish them all forever.

If you've found yourself here reading this then you too are in luck. There is one I'd recommend more highly that Amberlei!

"Amberlei is a phenomenal friend and turns out an incredibly talented photographer, too. Her creative eye and knack for lighting, poses, and scenery made our couple’s photos a piece of artwork. Her ability to capture feeling and emotion with every image elevated the overall product and quite honestly, is amazing! How does she do it?! She’s a personable, kind and fun person to work with which made the experience light-hearted and fun, two words I would otherwise, never use to describe a photoshoot. She made us feel comfortable and guided us through the entire experience. We are recommending her to everyone we know! We love Amberlei and she will definitely be our go-to photographer from now on! Love you girl! Thank you for a wonderful experience and beautiful photos!"

"Choosing Amberlei to shoot our photos was the best decision we could have made. She was able to capture the little moments between the moments which made our photos natural and uniquely "us". Amberlei helped create an atmosphere where we felt comfortable being ourselves, which also shows in the photos. We had an amazing day shooting (including one-of-a-kind drone shots, dancing, and laughing). It immediately felt like we had a close friend guiding us, helping us feel at ease, and making magic happen behind the camera even when we were being awkward. :) We ended up getting our edited photos back in record time to share out with friends and family. Look no further than Amberlei, Gold and Salt all the way!"

“Amberlei was extremely professional and an amazing photographer. She had a great eye and vision for the perfect photo. I got married 7 years ago and I still love the photos. They are classic. I have had so many people ask for my photographer and they are always so sad when I tell them she moved out of state. You will not regret working with her!”

“Amberlei did an amazing job of capturing Matthew and I at our most genuine moments. We had such a fun time and couldn’t stop laughing. She made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly how to capture us as “us”. Matthew and I are both serving in the U.S. Coast Guard as well, so it was amazing to be able to support such a talented shipmate and friend. Thank you again Amberlei! 15/10 recommend  ;) "

"Amberlei truly has a creative eye in capturing the most intimate moments. Her shots are breathtaking and authentic, and I was truly blessed to have her capture these forever moments on my special day!
Hell, her IG and FB photos alone are incredible, that speaks for itself!"

"Timelessness and vision. When we look for someone to capture our family for posterity, we look for an artist. Travel documentary photography is a passion of Sharon's. So when we can have someone else do that while we simply get to enjoy the moment as a family, we go out of our way to use someone with a unique vision that compliments our vibe. Amberlei does that with professionalism and subtlety. Her willingness to travel to a location, ability to seamlessly fit into our day, while still getting those precious moments on “film” is priceless. We look forward to our next trip with Amberlei behind the lens”!

"Truly grateful to have such a passionate photographer for our elopement at City Hall. Amberlei’s keen artistic ability shines through her work not only with the creative poses but through the unique shots she found throughout the city.  We were absolutely delighted with the amount of time she spent scoping out the area and definitely with the turnout of all the editing. Thanks Amberlei!!"

"Working with Amber, and the end product, was seriously the easiest and most enjoyable part of our wedding day. She has a keen eye to give direction and capture images that reflect us as a couple, and the energy of the day without looking overly posed or contrived. Truly a talented woman. I appreciated that she went above and beyond and scouted the area for key shots prior to the day. 10/10 highly recommended. Every time we look at the images I find a new favorite. Thank you, Amber!'
