When you invite AMP to be part of your day, we pull out all the stops (and tons of prep + planning) so you can leave the stress behind. It’s just you, your person, your people, and your promise of forever—precisely as it should be.
Because your wedding will be a series of moments you’ll want to relive for the rest of forever. But here’s the thing—when the day comes, it flies by faster than you expect. But with photos that genuinely capture all of the moments you loved—and even the ones you missed—you’ll be transported back again and again.
THE EXPERIENCE YOU DESERVE
AND THE PHOTOS YOU WANT
Wedding Photographer Serving Waterloo Iowa and Beyond
I could spill my whole story and convince you to become BFFs within minutes, but we’ll save that for my about page. What I want you to know is this—whatever you’re bringing to the table on your wedding day, I can handle it. Chaotic family? I have one too. Kids running around? That’s a normal day at my house. Uncle Jim brought his camera to take his own photos? Cool, if it’s okay with you, it’s okay with me. Stain on your dad’s suit? Hand it over, and Tide-to-go and I will take care of it.
This is your day. The one time you can (and should) unapologetically own the main character role. And I’ll do everything I can to help make your experience seamless and stress-free. Because when you’re living your best life, your photos reflect that. And it would be my absolute honor to document your wedding story for you to have and to hold for the rest of time.

We’ll never place you or your people in forced, stuffy poses that no one does in real life. Instead, we take a prompts-only approach, allowing for genuine interactions that result in gorgeous portraits, emotive candids, and a laidback vibe. But don’t worry! You’ll have all the guidance you want and need (so you’ll never have to worry about what to do with your hands).
