1000/10 for Paperbird Photography!

My husband and I had a very small Friday afternoon wedding at the courthouse and Amy did a fantastic job. We had a short engagement (engaged in December 2023 and married in April 2024!) but Amy was fine with the short notice and we even managed to fit an engagement session in 1 month before the wedding.

Amy was a pleasure to work with and was super prepared! She put on my husband’s boutonnière, helped my sister pin me into my dress, and had all the emergency essentials in her bag. She made everyone feel comfortable and taking our wedding pictures was so much fun!

The pictures themselves are amazing, we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. I would highly recommend Paperbird Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

So Grateful!!

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Amy. Starting with our engagement shoot, Amy traveled to three (!) different locations with us to capture some of our favorite places in our hometown. She also encouraged us to bring our high-energy (and somewhat difficult) dog, and now we have absolutely lovely pictures of our little family :) Amy also helped us to put together our wedding day timeline, and was EXTREMELY patient with us as we were adding/changing details last-minute. I frequently felt overwhelmed during our wedding planning and would often drag my feet on making decisions, but Amy was so kind, supportive, and helpful throughout the entire process. On our actual wedding day, Amy helped to guide us through all the events while seamlessly capturing moments both big and small. She was our biggest cheerleader and reminded us to take in and appreciate all the love and happiness of the day. The photos we have from both our engagement shoot and wedding day are some of my most cherished possessions, as they perfectly capture our joy and love for each other and our loved ones. Amy has such a unique talent for capturing such real, intimate moments that I feel instantly emotional looking at the photos. Not to mention her ability to identify the best backdrops/lighting/poses! Book Amy for the experience and memories of a lifetime!

Amazing and Talented Photographer!

Where to start with summarizing how great it was to work with Amy for our June 2024 wedding! From our first call, Amy was warm, responsive, and easy to talk to about our approach and vision for the wedding, along with providing some great ideas for photos. Getting to know her during our engagement session was a great way to feel comfortable before the big day and she was also amazing with our two pups - who joined us for both engagement and wedding photos.
We appreciated Amy's ability to find beautiful shots that captured the essence of our wedding and her personality is warm, friendly and professional. She got along so great with all our friends and family and captured beautiful images of our wedding. She was also really great during the wedding with adapting to the flow of the day (we were having too much fun and running over!) and she was able to easily adapt to our schedule and ensure we got all the photos we had discussed, while ensuring that my husband and I were able to be present with our friends and family. We're so grateful we had Amy to capture our big day!

Washington DC will always hold a special place in my heart and I love filming weddings here! One of the recent ones I have filmed at the W Washington DC and I enjoy every time I get to work at this wedding venue. The couple had a wonderful wedding with an outstanding reception party. The happy newlyweds are the two friendliest and easy-going people! No wonder that the photographers they have chosen were just the same. I had a blast working with Amy & Caroline from Paperbird Photography! The wedding was a wonderful experience, because I get to work with talented professionals, who enjoy every minute of their job and spread the happiness around them. Working with Amy & Caroline didn’t even classify as working as we all enjoyed the experience and just made sure to invade as less as possible and capture the real emotion of the day and the beautiful love story sealed by the vows. RIMAS FILMS would like to highly recommend Paperbird Photography!

Caroline and Amy of Paperbird Photography are amazing photographers! I had the pleasure to work with them at The W Hotel DC July 2017...the way they captured Sarah and Louis' big day was truly a piece of art! I highly recommend this duo to capture your most precious moments for those important life events. Hats off Caroline and Amy! Amazing job! Look forward to working with you again! ~Ella
