Worth every penny!

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.

No Question. Choose Amative Creative. 100% WORTH IT!

Amative Creative stands as the paramount choice for your wedding photography and videography needs, not just in Virginia, but wherever your heart desires. Whether it's engagement photos, wedding photography, or videography, let me assure you that Amative Creative is your best choice!

As a bride, planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful. I have never met a more passionate owner than Andrea, who genuinely cares and appreciates her clients and their needs. She is willing to work with you and listen to you. She doesn't make you feel like she knows better or that what you say isn't valuable. I cannot express how many vendors want to dictate how things should be and don't listen to your concerns. I cannot say enough good things about them. The photographers and videographers Amative Creative choose to hire reflect what they value as a company. They are all wonderful.

My words cannot adequately convey the depth of gratitude I hold for Amative Creative and Andrea. Andrea, you are a true gem, and your contributions to the wedding industry are nothing short of extraordinary. Thank you for everything; you are irreplaceable!

Amative Creative deserves ten stars!

Andrea and team have been nothing short of phenomenal. Not only did Andrea take the time to talk through the entire process from start to finish and answer all of our questions, but she remained in constant contact before, during and after our wedding. She always answered our texts and calls, no matter what time of day or night! She and her team made us feel very comfortable during our engagement and wedding photos, and she respected our comfort level. The photos the Amative Creative team delivered are straight out of a wedding catalogue--her product matched our vision exactly. She provided 2,000 photos within six months and the wait was totally worth it.
Not only did Andrea take our engagement and wedding photos, but she connected us with a photographer while we were on our honeymoon in Paris to take additional photos that Andrea then edited and delivered within two days. Working with her has felt like a dream! Andrea and team love their clients like their own family, and we would recommend Amative Creative again and again.
