I’m Amber Marlow, a wedding photographer based in New York. I take creative wedding photos that nod to tradition and are vibrant, soulful, and a little bit sexy.
For those about to wed, I salute you.
The couples and wedding planners I’ve been privileged to work with are progressive, creative, and thoughtful individuals, living intentional lives full of travel, art, and good food. They have great taste (and killer dance parties), creating weddings that feature great music, beautiful florals, immersive experiences, and a weekend full of emotionally authentic moments.
The difference is huge.
My Approach and Style
Since 2010, my priority has been to create wedding photographs that couples recognize themselves in, highlighting their unique connection. My posing is extremely gentle and unfussy, leaving them grounded and real.
My greatest strength is that I wholeheartedly accept people exactly as they are in front of my camera - reserved, emotional, or wavering in between.
My goal as an artist is to create a body of work that has you saying, “We felt so comfortable, we cannot believe how damn good we look in our wedding photos! We couldn’t have hired anyone else.”
Studio Values & Ethics
Running an honest business based on the values I hold personally is important to me. I carry my whole heart into my work as an artist, woman, mother, African American, and citizen of the world. I also align myself carefully and thoughtfully with excellent and principled fellow vendors.
-
Humanity
Every wedding guest deserves respect. My team and I photograph everyone with dignity, and all of my team members are screened and sign a code of conduct.
-
Sustainablity
The printing companies I partner with have exceptional sustainability practices and use recycled and eco-friendly packaging materials.
-
Philanthropy
My business donates to the Innocence Project. Each year, I volunteer my services to local non-profit fundraising endeavors, including the Hudson Public Library.

Boundaries
My studio politely declines weddings using captive wild animals or horse-drawn carriages in Central Park, as well as weddings taking place on plantations or Trump properties.
