Each Couple & Wedding Is Unique


Earthy

We believe wedding photography should feel deeply personal — not templated, and never disconnected from who you truly are. As a luxury wedding photographer and videography team serving Virginia, Colorado, Georgia, nationwide, and destinations around the world, our approach centers on one defining element: customization.

Airy

Your Story Was Never Meant to Look Like Someone Else’s

From the moment you first connect with us, every detail is intentionally shaped around your vision — from documentation style and posing approach to editing tones, film formats, and overall aesthetic direction. Whether you’re drawn to bright and airy imagery, dark and moody romance, timeless natural tones, editorial sophistication, or nostalgic Super 8 movement, your final gallery is crafted to reflect you.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all weddings. We believe in legacy imagery that feels unmistakably yours.

With all of your documentation under one umbrella, you don't have to juggle different vendors and contacts And we can perfect your package to give you exactly what you need.

Wedding planning is stressful enough, which is why we have our full pricing clearly listed on our website. Just head over to our Experience page to get started! Each price includes all taxes and fees. You won't be surprised when you get your contract from us.

Chances are we're able to create a package that fits your vision without breaking the bank. We typically can cover flight costs, and just need accommodations covered. 

While, yes, we tend to focus on weddings & elopements around here (let's be honest, they're our favorite), but we also capture all the things: engagements & proposals, maternity sessions, family photos, you name it, we can do it. 

I'm Andrea, Owner of Amative Creative

Your search for a photographer or videographer may be frustrating so far, because you can't quite find the right fit stylistically... Or maybe everything just looks the same. Maybe that picture-perfect vision you have in your head, just isn't landing on your screen yet.

If that's you - I have some great news. I've made it my mission to open up the photo editing process to my couples, giving YOU a real voice in the creative journey. It's pretty unheard of in the photo world... But I like to shake things up like that. 

Your wedding photos should speak exactly to your unique vision. After all, these images will be hanging on YOUR walls for decades to come - not mine. Why settle for a cookie-cutter preset when you can create your own? Through our unique process, we can help discover, create, and perfect your wedding photography & videography aesthetic. Bringing your individual vision to life!

Experience You Can Trust

We believe wedding photography is about more than aesthetics.

It is about preserving moments that cannot be recreated — the anticipation before you walk down the aisle, the quiet emotion in your parents’ eyes, the laughter with your closest friends, the joy that fills the room when you realize you’re finally married.

These moments become part of your legacy.

We approach every wedding with intentionality, reverence, and gratitude, knowing the images we create will outlive the day itself.

If you’re searching for a luxury wedding photographer in Virginia, an Atlanta wedding photographer, a Colorado wedding photographer, or a destination wedding photographer anywhere in the world, we would be honored to learn about your vision.

No matter where your love story takes place, we would be honored to be part of it.
