Andrea, the team, and your vision work together to achieve your dreams. When you open up your life, and trust us to capture your most important memories, it’s so humbling and personal to us.

We always tear up at least once at weddings. (more like 10 times) There's nothing greater than watching this chapter of love play out right before our eyes, and forever captured by us for generations to see. Every team member will tell you that being able to celebrate with you and witness core memories taking place is truly a breathtaking privilege for us that we do not take lightly. 

"Amative" (am-ah-tiv) comes from the same root as amorous, and means to be prone to love. So it's no surprise that there's nothing we like more than telling a good love story! (our 3-circle logo even represents weddings rings united by Love - sappy, we know)

The most important thing to us on your wedding day is to create meaningful, emotional, and powerful images that truly capture your journey and where your love has taken you so far. We are a team of creatives driven to curate a truly personal and luxury experience.

Words cannot possibly communicate how incredible it was to have Andrea document our engagement and wedding. Her team and the pictures they take are obviously stunning. Even with a then fiancé who is very uncomfortable taking pictures, Andrea was able to make him feel comfortable and some show capture our quirks and dynamic perfectly. And her ability to be flexible in her editing, getting the exact editing style her clients want, is not only beyond generous, but art at its finest, truly. But what sets Andrea apart the most for us was who she is. Andrea isn’t someone who just sits idly by capturing amazing moments; she CREATES them. She even danced on the dance floor with our guests, spent time teaching me (the bride) a dance, all the while taking amazing pictures of the fun we had. What Andrea does is both art AND relationship. She is worth far beyond what she prices. Our wedding was made all the more memorable because of her, and we couldn’t be more grateful. - Dana & Joe
I can not begin to describe how amazing this team is! I had my wedding back in August and it was absolutely perfect! Looking back at my pictures throughout the day, I could not have asked for a better team by my side! Sarah & Amber absolutely killed the photos and are two of the biggest hype women I have ever met! Throughout the entire day they were constantly there singing praises and doing anything to get genuine smiles. Andrea was the one I talked to throughout this whole process and she is absolutely amazing! She was very kind and patient with me throughout the process (I can be indecisive and really didn't fully know my editing style) and she made it work and went above and beyond with editing! All three ladies are absolutely amazing and if you need a wedding photographer/videographer - look no further!! These ladies DO NOT disappoint! - Rachel & Zach
Don't overthink it, just book them!! They are absolutely amazing. Andrea was easy to talk to and got my vision right for the type and style of photos I wanted. I just wanted to be true to nature with minimal editing, while still looking amazing and she got it down! Our engagement photos turned out absolutely amazing and our wedding photos looks even better! We got married in the middle of a wind storm on a mountain and the pictures turned out amazing!! We even had a mini 20 minute power blackout and we all just rolled with it, pulling out phone flashlights and got some really cool photos with that as well! Both our families loved them, they had good energy, knew where to be to snag the best angles, and were supper efficient! Andrea and Amber are AWESOME. BOOK! THEM!- Kimberly & Victor
Amative Creative is absolutely sensational! Let me tell you how my first ever interaction with Andrea went. As soon as she answered the phone she was filled with pure excitement to have the opportunity to work with Luis and I! Her passion for wedding photography was easily noted and upon hearing our wedding style and our sweet love story, she was hooked! (As were we!) Her ability to acquire all inspos and complete a long list of shots to ensure were captured on our big day is commendable. If you know Luis and I, you know how much we LOVE photo shoots. Of all the ones we have been a part of, this one had extra magic and love, but not only from us, but from her entire crew! We booked the largest wedding package she offers to get all the perks, shots, and video coverage. We got some sneak peaks of the footage they obtained as they were shot and O M GEEEEE, we were left speechless! Truly the combination of image quality, precision, lighting, and angles were consistently spot on. Also, we must mention how the entire crew quickly became our personal hype team and were sure to let us know how beautiful we were and how lucky we both are to have one another. I truly want to thank each and every member of Amative Creative, you have capture some sensational shots that you sent our way as previews and we are sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for all the rest to come flowing our way! - Maria & Luis
All of our love and praises for Andrea and the whole Amative Creative team cannot be summarized in 3500 characters! Andrea has the perfect balance of professionalism and BFF energy, and she and her team have been so wonderful to work with. From our first consult call, to the days leading up to our wedding - she helped us carry out our vision for the picture perfect day. She is patient, kind, creative - and 1000% hardworking. Even our photographers for the wedding, Francesca & Julianna were so much fun to work with! They were so flexible, easy-going, and made us feel so comfortable in front of a camera (my husband and I are camera-shy, haha). They captured so many amazing moments, from our first-touch to our photoshoot with my husband's car (which were some of our favorite photos!) We also were so blown away with the photos we got back - the editing was top notch, and it really captured the love and excitement from our wedding! Cannot recommend Amative Creative enough! - Casey & Chris

our "style" & point of view

From Andrea, to our future brides

If you’ve spent any time at all looking at wedding imagery trying to find the "look" that most appeals to you, then you’ve most likely come across these stylistic editing terms… 

Light and Airy...

Dark and Moody...

True to Life...?

And while you may understand the differences somewhat, there's a lot that goes into the aesthetics of each one. The lighting on your wedding day, the prominent colors people wear, the time of the year and seasonal color changes, and even the time of day can all play a dramatic role in how a particular editing style looks.

First of all, you may have noticed while cruising through our website that we actually have a mix of all of these editing types. Check out the different real wedding galleries on our portfolio page to really see the differences. And while we may have several photographers who shoot on behalf of our brand, I (Andrea) am the one who will personally be perfecting your editing style and communicating with you from start to finish. 

And here's the biggest thing about the different editing styles: I love them all. I find beauty and perfection in each one for different reasons. I edit in different ways because each wedding, person, season, and day has a unique look. And honestly, different editing styles accentuate different things, and can make or break the image. 

our editing styles

choosing your style

It’s for this reason that I spend a lot of time initially picking the edit to use for a whole gallery. When we first start to discuss your photos, I will try to get a sense of your individual style. I'll send you a questionnaire that helps me know your preferences, and I always send a sample to make sure we’re all on the same page. Then, once the style is chosen, I go through the whole gallery and adjust each image to fit your unique aesthetic. 

I honestly believe there isn’t a one-style-fits-all aspect to photographing a wedding day… and there are even a dozen ways to edit something “light and airy” or “dark and moody.” Different adjustments accentuate different details, colors, and lighting.  And it's in those little details that truly makes the magic happen! 

When you decide to choose us to capture your wedding day, rest assured knowing that I will be customizing your images to truly fit who YOU are, and not just match our personal "brand color" scheme. Your wedding day should reflect who you are; it's not about us. It's 100% about you marrying your best friend and capturing that as genuinely, and beautifully as possible.

let's begin!

Every Year

Giving back

We believe in paying it forward. That's why 10% of everything we make goes back to local charities and non-profits that benefit those impacted by poverty, sex-trafficking, domestic violence, hunger, and other humanitarian efforts. Thank you for your support and allowing us to keep helping!

As if our name wasn't obvious enough, let's just say it again, shall we? We love romance. We adore love stories. There's nothing more important on your wedding day than the fact that you are marrying your best friend. Our work will capture the purity and beauty of your love in photography and videography that truly expresses and tells your personal story, in the way that you truly desire.
