Amber Holte Photography
 
 

Hi! I’m Amber. I’m a Minnesota wedding photographer and I want to take photos of you.

 

I’m so excited you’re here.

When I think of photography, I just feel giddy. There’s something unexplainably rewarding about freezing a precious moment in time. Getting to photograph people in love with life and each other is something I will never tire of, and I consider it a huge honor when someone trusts me to capture something special for them. 

As a photographer, my mission is to capture meaningful photos that reflect your story authentically. I strive to create an experience that is unique to who you are, and I’m always up for some adventure along the way! If you want to climb a mountain or run through a field, I’m down. I believe weddings (or any kind of session for that matter) should be all about making the day feel as “you” as it possibly can. 

Sound alright? Sweet.

TESTIMONIALS

 

“We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos! Amber has tons of resources/guides to help you prep for engagement photos and in making a timeline for your wedding! She was great about communication before our wedding getting everything into place and helping plan & finalize details, and the day of our wedding she was so incredibly kind and friendly, yet professional, and really helped my husband and I (who are not good in pictures) pose, look natural, and feel comfortable the whole day! She also was quick to get our photos back to us, even with our summer wedding which is a photographer’s busy season! And the photos turned out wonderfully! We will treasure them forever! Also a very fair price for all the incredible work she puts in! Would recommend Amber over and over!” -Emily

 

“Amber hands down is the best! Her attention to detail, professionalism, friendliness, creativity and much more really sets her apart. I would recommend her again and again! She went above and beyond for my wedding photography. I got a handful of comments from family, friends, and guests about how fantastic she was to work with. I will continue to work with Amber for family photos because of how great she is!” -Nichole


 

“We loved having Amber shoot our October wedding. She was professional and fun, was great at directing groups of people for group shots, and super organized. She helped orchestrate our special day so that everything ran smoothly. And not to mention, our photos turned out better than I ever imagined. We have no idea what we would have done without her! Thank you so much Amber!” -Kylie

 

“Amber is flexible to your busy schedule, makes sure to include any specific shots that you want, polite, friendly, and goes above and beyond to make sure she captures every detail about your wedding! I will recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.” -Vanessa


 

“Amber was nothing short from amazing. She did our engagement and wedding pictures and we have never felt more confirmed in our choice to have her capture one of our most special days. She worked with us to make a timeline for the wedding and was always quick to respond to questions we had. On our wedding day Amber was so calm and helped us feel so loved through all the pictures being taken. 1 day after our wedding we got 80 sneak peaks! And within a month we had all 1,400 of our wedding pictures. They were amazing and we cant talk high enough of Amber. We can’t for her to capture our family pictures one day.” -Beth


 

“Amber has been doing our family pictures for the past several years and she is hands down the best! I highly recommend her for her photography and attention to detail that she puts into her work not to mention she is the best with our kiddos too. Thanks for everything Amber!” -Chris


 

“Amber is truly the best there is. The reason we hired her is because she was incredibly organized and very on top of things. She has beautiful and comprehensive guides for everything and had already looked up what time the sun would be setting on our wedding day for our consultation. We had so much fun at our first engagement shoot and the photos blew us away. We actually had a second engagement shoot and were convinced it was going to rain on us. Amber gave us incredibly quick prompts and we flew through the shoot. I was nervous the photos wouldn’t turn out but they were even better than the first! She is truly so talented.

On wedding day, Amber truly captured all the joy we felt. We were completely obsessed with all of our photos and all our family and friends were impressed with how organized Amber was and how quickly she took such amazing photos! Amber will be our forever photographer and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.” -Lauren

 

“Amber has gone above and beyond to accommodate for recent changes with our wedding ceremony and reception. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is such a kind-hearted and genuine person! We have really enjoyed working with Amber thus far, and look forward to the wedding celebrations to come!” -Meredith


 

“Amber is truly THE BEST! I was so nervous to pick a photographer for my senior photos, but I was lucky enough to find Amber through Instagram and immediately knew she was the one! She made me feel so comfortable during the session, helped me with outfits and picking locations and lastly gave me amazing results back! I love my photos! :) Definitely recommend Amber and will be reaching out to her for future photography needs!” -Aubree

 

“So many wonderful things to say about Amber! We did our engagement shoot in 2022 with her and also have her booked as our wedding photographer in 2023. The engagement session was the first professional pictures my fiancé and I have ever done together and she legitimately made them SO fun. She guided us on poses that felt and looked natural, gave great recommendations for locations, spent time getting to know us, and made sure we got in any requests that we had along the way. We are so excited to have her on our wedding day and for any photography needs in the future ☺️ 12/10 recommend!” -Kristi


 

“Amber has been such a great photographer to work with! She has taken our family, engagement and wedding photos. We are always nothing but happy & greatly impressed with the results!” -Tessa

 

“An amazing photographer!! Amber was so kind and involved with us as a couple during both our engagement and wedding photos. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and helped us have a ton of fun during the process. Also her photos turn out incredibly - would absolutely recommend to anyone!” -Julia


 

“Amber was honestly the best photographer and person that I have ever met! She did my senior pictures a year ago and I loved every minute of it. She made me feel so comfortable within my own skin and loved. Her pictures and edits are amazing and I am still absolutely in love with them. They’re timeless. All I can say is you’re getting your money’s worth with Amber for sure!” -Alexis

 

“Our engagement photos turned out absolutely amazing. Even better than I could’ve hoped. Amber is patient and has fantastic suggestions for poses and locations, but she really listens and tries to incorporate your personality into the photos. I can’t wait to see what she does with photographing our wedding this spring!” -Gabriella


 

“I scheduled a “mini session” with Amber to get updated headshots/branding photos and was so so impressed! The studio space she found was perfect and had the best lighting and props and she knew exactly how to pose me in a flattering and not awkward way. I’m so glad I went with her! I’ve had family and friends use her for their weddings and senior photos and was so amazed by her work! She’s one of the good ones and has the best personality to make the sessions so fun!” -Shelby

 

“Amber took our engagement and wedding photos in 2021 and 2022, and she was AMAZING. Not only is her work amazing, but she’s so awesome to work with. She keeps bridal party and family pics moving in an efficient way, and makes you feel so confident during your session. She also gets your pictures back in a timely manner. My husband and I would recommend Amber for any photo session you’re in the market for!” -Callie


 

“Amber truly is amazing! She took my senior photos and I had nothing but amazing things to say. She captured so many amazing moments that I further booked her for a mini session with all my friends. Once again she did amazing work and I am so so thankful for her. Definitely will be booking her again for a cap and gown session and probably more times in the future as well! Thank you Amber for being YOU!” -Ezra

 

“We did our engagement session with Amber this past fall and she was so easy to work with! She is very responsive and had wonderful communication. During our shoot she provided guidance for photos, but also made it such an easy and fun experience! We cannot wait to have her as our wedding photographer this year!” -Cassie
