Amalie Orrange Photography

I live in Chicago and had to pick out a photographer from states away. My mother-in-law found Amalie on Facebook, and after looking at her pictures, I knew we had to book with her. The first time I spoke with Amalie she was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. I felt so confident in her, that I booked her services right away. From that point on, we communicated via email. She was always available to answer any questions and give advice. Almost always, I received responses on the same day! In addition, we also found two of our other vendors through her. I met Amalieā€™s husband, Jeff, on the day of our wedding. He was very down to earth and welcoming as well. One of my concerns was having no idea what to do while being photographed! It can be an awkward experience! However, Amalie and Jeff were very direct and guided us through all of the shots. They told us where to look, how to stand, etc. They were patient and made us feel very comfortable while doing so. Amalie and Jeff work extremely well together and complement one another. Another great thing about Amalie, is that she uploads sneak peek pictures on Facebook after the wedding! In addition, I received all of my wedding pictures in less than a month! Now, onto the pictures! Our images turned out unique and breathtaking. They are not the ā€œtypicalā€ wedding photos that I did not want. They are shots that you look at and can remember exactly how you felt at that moment. They really captured our excitement and love for one another, and I could not be happier. I am forever grateful!

Amalie Orrange is the best wedding photographer in the universe! I am a photographer myself, so choosing a wedding photographer was number one on my to-do list when I got engaged. I searched online and kept seeing her photos on my favorite wedding blogs, so I looked her up and met with her in person pretty early on in the planning process. I was surprised to see that not only was her portfolio the best that I'd seen, but she was also quite affordable. It's very important to "click" (no pun intended) with your wedding photographer. We knew after meeting with her for five minutes that she would mesh well with our personalities as well as being like-minded in style. Amalie and her husband/lovely assistant, Jeff, lived up to all of our expectations and more. They killed it on our engagement session and that just gave us that much more confidence and reassurance for our wedding. They were extremely organized but totally laid back and non-stress inducing the entire time before during and after the wedding. They were always there catching the key moments, but never overwhelming or pushy (as some photographers can be). We feel like we made the best decision of our entire wedding picking Amalie Orrange. She and Jeff are folks you definitely want as photographers as well as friends! That's how awesome they are.

I cannot express how amazing Amalie and her husband Jeff are. They shot our engagement photos and it was a bit of a different theme... We did a Mad Men (1960's) shoot and they were awesome. Had great poses for us and captured the light to perfection. They are also so easy to work with and so down to earth. We felt so comfortable with them the whole time. I would highly recommend them!

Amalie and Jeff exceeded our expectations by far. Our pictures were more than we could have hoped for. They were both courteous, inventive, and made us feel very comfortable with their warm personalities. We have had many compliments and inquires on their service since the wedding. We will cherish our photos for the rest of our lives and cannot thank them enough.

One of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Amalie and Jeff went above and beyond to get great and unique photos. We are so excited to have these gorgeous photos to look back on to remember our special day. We cannot thank Amalie Orrange Photography enough.

This is actually a really hard review for me to write because I'm not sure if I can adequately put into words how wonderful Amalie and Jeff are. But here goes nothin... From the moment I sat down at Starbucks to meet with Amalie, I knew we clicked. I booked her about a year out, and throughout the year, I was so excited every time she posted photos from a wedding she and Jeff had recently done, because each time, I was more blown away than the last. Their style is just exactly what we wanted. They are so creative and they steer clear of those "typical" poses that just aren't us. On the wedding day, they were on time and everything just went so smoothly. They caught all the little details and moments that I want to remember forever. After the ceremony, we went to a large conservation area that Amalie helped me find and it was beyond perfect. I can't even begin to explain how amazing our photos are. All of my family and friends are just in awe over them. Amalie and Jeff captured my husband and I in a way that I wasn't sure would be possible. We had so much FUN with Amalie and Jeff. And I feel like that's not always an easy thing to do on such an intense day. They made us feel relaxed and truly brought out the best in us. Their work is incredible and I just can't say enough about them. In 10, 20, 50 years, all you have left is memories and photos. I am SO glad we chose Amalie Orrange Photography to give us those memories to keep...

Words canā€™t explain how great Amalie and Jeff are. When we began our search for a wedding photographer, we met with quite a few other photographers before we made our selection, and just when it felt like we might not ever find what we were looking forā€¦we found Amalie Orrange. After looking at her website, we decided to set up an appointment to discuss what we wanted out of our wedding pictures. Five minutes into the conversation we knew we had found just the right person to take on the task. It was very important to us to have our engagement pictures taken in our hometown, and Amalie had no problem making the two hour haul to us to get exactly what we wanted. Our engagement pictures were wonderful and we received them so quickly. Amalie and Jeff were genuine, funny, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. However, as great as our engagement pictures were, I canā€™t express how WONDERFUL our wedding pictures turned out. Amalie knew exactly what we had envisioned and we are able to tell our entire story through her photographs. Amalie was always just a phone call, or email away and she was always so quick to respond. She even posted a few wedding pictures to her Facebook page the night of our wedding! We were able to share them with friends and family the day after our wedding before everyone went their separate ways. The following week, we left for our honeymoon, and she posted dozens of pictures on her blog, and we were able to enjoy them every step of the way. Aside from being amazing photographers Amalie and Jeff are such great people. They are professional, caring, and will always exceed your expectations. There is no doubt in our minds that anyone else we would have chosen to photograph and be a part of the biggest day of our lives would have come up short. We sing their praises every day and we are so blessed that we were able to find them. Amalie and Jeff truly made our day so special and we will always remember everything they did for us.

I don't even know where to start! We are so unbelievably obsessed with the way our pictures turned out! We knew from day one that choosing Amalie and Jeff was the right decision and it just proved us right after viewing our photos. Not only did the photos turn out amazing but the two of them work so well together and make you feel extremely comfortable throughout the whole day! We took Amalie's advice on doing a first look and so happy that we did! It was an amazing and intimate experience before the craziness and it took nothing away from the excitement of walking down the aisle. The compliments that we received from our family and friends during and after the wedding were all positive! If you do not choose Amalie Orrange Photography for your wedding you are missing out!! Amalie and Jeff thank you so much for capturing the perfection of our day! Love, Anthony and Mallory Cramer

I can not Thank Amalie Orrange Photography enough for making our day 100% perfect for me and my husband, and our families. Both Amalie and Jeff made us feel so at ease the entire time!!! I was running late and Amalie just laughed and snapped photos as we sat in my bedroom, adding our final touches. Im a HUGE family person and it seemed as if she and Jeff fit right on in!!! She was completely professional and I could have not asked for a better photographer for our wedding day! I reccommend Amalie Orrange Photography to anyone who wants an amazing photographer and immaculate photos of their special day!!

We really dont know where to begin because Amalie did EVERYTHING right. We were one of the couples lucky enough to be part of her first year of business but, I assure you that you could never tell! She is so exceptionally talented that her work is hands down better than the majority of people who have been in the business for years! What we love so much about working with her is that no matter how busy she was she always made you feel like you were the number one client. Her charm, positive attitude, and prompt business are just a few of the MANY reasons we would recommend her to every couple!

I stumbled across Amalie's photographs on style me pretty a website used to help inspire brides. I immediately fell in love with her images. After looking into several different photographers in the Orlando, Florida area I knew I had found someone special. Her photographs are beautiful and timeless. She has an amazing ability to capture all the details and special moments you want to cherish forever. My husband and I had a destination wedding in Orlando, Florida on November 8, 2012. Although we were unable to meet with Amalie before our wedding day we felt at ease the entire time working with her. She is extremely helpful, sweet, and professional. All of our emails, phone calls, and questions were quickly responded to making the whole entire process stress-free. After meeting her in person for the first time on our wedding day she was warm, charming, and made us feel extremely comfortable. My husband and I could not be happier with our decision in choosing Amalie!

I have nothing by amazing things to say about my experience both with Amalie Orrange and her team. I had the pleasure of working with Amalie for my wedding in New Orleans this past November (2012). You will not find a more professional, enthusiastic and talented photographer in the industry. She and her team are extremely easy to work with and go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable at all times. She was responsible for all aspects of the photography on the day of the wedding, from taking the actual pictures to handling the logistics of moving a large wedding party to various different photo locations. Her expertise in planning was apparent and resulted in the wedding day staying on schedule which is of course no easy task, even for an experienced wedding planner. I have worked in the Special Events industry for over ten years in both New York and San Diego. I have come in contact with many photographers and wedding photographers. Amalieā€™s ability to catch the important details with a unique eye is breathtaking. Her use of light, color and contrast puts her head and shoulders above any other photographer I have worked with in my career. Without Amalie and her team have no doubt that our photos would not have turned out as gorgeous as they did. Throughout the entire planning process Amalie was always early, extremely organized and beyond excited about every detail of my special day. Both her and her team went the extra mile to make sure they captured every idea I had and added a million more which resulted in some of the best photos I have ever seen, even in high profile publications. Amalieā€™s unique ability to preserve a moment in time is something I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer. I will guarantee your photographs will be superior to other wedding books and both you and your guests will be amazed for years to come on the talent and attention to detail seen with each image.

Amalie was one of the best vendors I worked with for my wedding. During the planning process, I told my husband numerous times I was so thankful I didnā€™t have to stress once about the photography. We knew we were in great hands and that Amalie would take care of anything that came up or needed to be discussed leading up to the big day. She was so attentive during the whole process and would check in periodically and just showed me she genuinely cared. On the big day, Amalie and Jeff worked as a great team and we have so many gorgeous photos. Family and friends are still talking about the pictures. They truly captured the emotions and moments of the day and we are forever thankful for their amazing talent, help, and friendship. I will and already have recommended Amalie Orrange Photography to every bride- to-be I know! -Jacqueline Capra

Amalieā€™s work is AMAZING! We hired her to do a ā€˜Mad Menā€™ themed engagement session and we were thrilled with the results. We decided to do the shoot in the afternoon to take advantage of the sunset and pretty surroundings in Winter Park, but unfortunately we got horrible weather. You would never know the weather was bad looking at Amalieā€™s photos! We actually hired Amalie after visiting her blog and seeing how well she was able to shoot with natural light, and really liked the soft, airy look she was able to portray. Given the weather, we were forced to shoot mostly inside and make the most of what little sunlight there was outside. Amalie and Jeff were able to adapt quickly and use what light was available to make the pictures look astounding. They were also able to make a stressful time seem lighthearted and really disarmed my fiancĆ© and me to where we could focus on each other and have a great time. Besides being extremely talented, they were funny, personable, logistically very clever, and extremely helpful when thinking about poses that we had not initially planned on. I would highly recommend Amalie Orrange for any occasion, and would hard-pressed to find a better photographer in the Central Florida area!

If it was possible to give Amalie all the stars in the world, we would! She is such an amazing and creative person to work with! Every single one of our photos came out so beautiful and she went above and beyond to ensure our happiness. She has an eye for beauty and it translates through her work. Our original photographer had canceled on us within 6 months of the wedding. At the time it felt terrible to have to scramble and find someone else, but in retrospect I am so fortunate the original photographer canceled because Amalie is perfect for us. She captured our day exactly how we imagined, hoped for and then some! Her husband Jeff was a 2nd shooter for the day of our wedding, and it was so nice to have all the photos of the guys getting ready. They make a funny, smart, kind duo, which helped with my groom's nerves because like most men he is not as comfortable with the camera or spotlight. We just got back from our honeymoon and Amalie has already sent us the disc of all our images! Only 2 weeks after the wedding! We received a ton of photos as well, more than I ever could have imagined. Image after image you can clearly see that Amalie cares so much about what she does, and not only has that but understands what you want. We cannot stop talking about how talented she is, and how much we love the photos and her. My whole family included! My mom told me she is so happy that Amalie is our photographer, and I couldn't agree more! She is such a genuine, nice person, someone you would want to make a friend with, because she is so darn sweet. Then there's the fact she is incredibly awesome at what she does! I'm surprised she doesn't have some kind of cult following at this point. I might just inspire a movement! I am so happy we trusted her to capture all the beauty and essence of our wedding. Quite frankly, I don't think anyone could have done as eloquently in translating...

Amalie recently photographed our destination wedding on July 9th, in Cocoa, FL. We found her online, did all of our communicating via phone and email, didn't meet in person until the big day, and still she managed to effortlessly 'get' our vision for the day and quickly fell into step with us and our family like she was an old friend. Working with her was fantastic. Some of our favorite things.. 1. She was excellent with communication. 2. She was consistently 'excited' with us about the wedding and made us feel many times over that she was grateful and happy to be working with us and a part of our special day. 3. She was extremely professional. 4. She took time to ask about any family ups and downs so as to not create any awkward moments in photographs. (a big help in a divorced family) 5. She brought positive energy with her to our wedding day. 6. She was fast on turnaround after the wedding, getting us sneak peak photos in less than 48 hours. There are many more wonderful things that could be said and truly not one criticism comes to mind. We would recommend her without hesitation. Kevin & Leslie Long

Amalie was so easy and fun to be around not only on our wedding day but throughout the entire process of planning and getting ready for the day. Every bride has a list of shots you probably want on your wedding day and I did as well, but more than my husband and my greatest desire was that the people and the emotions and memories of the day would be captured. As I looked at some of my favorite work of Amalie's and found out they were ones where the bride gave her the most creative freedom, I knew I could trust her with capturing our wedding. Amalie was super quick to respond to my emails and on top of talking through different elements of the day that I had forgotten about. Throughout the entire process I completely trusted her and that if there was information she needed that I had forgotten about she would let me know! The day of, she was so easy and fun to be around while at the same time very professional. Her husband, Jeff our 2nd photographer was just the same. They were an incredible team to work with! Amalie made sure I had gotten all of the shots I wanted throughout the day and captured every shot that we had asked her to capture and more. As my husband and I looked through our photos we both felt like we were re-living the best moments of our wedding, from the facial expressions she captured to the important people in our lives that she made sure to document. She created some unique and fun moments with our bridal party and with kids at our wedding which was so fun to see the impromptu shots that came out of our day. We are so thankful to have found Amalie and Jeff, they fit in seamlessly with our wedding party and everyone loved them! I would highly recommend Amalie as your photographer!

There aren't enough kind descriptive words in the dictionary to describe the amazingness that is Amalie and her photography! My husband and I spent endless hours looking through websites of other photographers, seeing the same thing over and over again. We were exhausted and discouraged. Photography, to us, was one of the most crucial parts of our wedding. These images are going to be the reminder of your day for the rest of your life ! Amalie and her amazing husband Jeff took some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen at our wedding! We couldn't have asked for more engaging, fun and artistic people to work with. Their images are so fresh and beautiful. Amalie and Jeff were incredible and we love them! Hire them already! Oh and her name is Amalie Orrange, how could you not just love that!?!

Amazing work~! I LOVE all of my photos! She is so sweet, professional and lightning fast. It was truly an honor to have her as my photographer. She always answered her phone and any e-mail or text was answered almost as soon as it was sent. I am so impressed by her and know you will be too! I highly recommend Amalie =)

Finding Amalie was like stumbling across vintage Chanel on the clearance rack at a thrift store: super lucky and definitely worth the search! Despite the Chanel reference, my husband and I are a pretty laid-back, casual couple and were not particularly excited about the hyper-stylized, cheesey poses typical of most wedding photographers. However, when we saw Amalieā€™s portfolio and met with her and her lovely, mustachioed assistant, Jeff, we knew she had a gift for GENUINELY preserving her subjects, which is exactly what we wanted. Working with us through the entire planning process ā€“ family drama included ā€“ Amalie went above and beyond to ensure she really understood our visions, no matter how scatterbrained Iā€™m sure they seemed. On my wedding day, I was stressed (borderline grouchy,) but relaxed the second I saw Amalie. She made sure my wedding party, my family, and I were where we needed to be, when we needed to be there, and that we were comfortable and having fun the entire time. My husband and I had the most amazing wedding and reception and, as I told Amalie, I could not imagine trusting anyone else to capture those special moments. Amalie Orrange Photography should be required at all weddings!
