"When you open up your life, and tell me that you trust me & my team to capture your most important memories, it's so humbling and personal to me.There's nothing greater than watching this chapter of love play out right before your eyes, and forever captured for generations to see.
Your search for a photographer or videographer may be frustrating so far, because you can't quite find the right fit stylistically... Or maybe everything just looks the same. Maybe that picture-perfect vision you have in your head, just isn't landing on your screen yet. If that's you - I have some great news. I've made it my mission to open up the photo editing process to my couples, giving YOU a real voice in the creative journey.
It's pretty unheard of in the photo world... But I like to shake things up like that.
Your wedding photos should speak exactly to your unique vision. After all, these images will be hanging on YOUR walls for decades to come - not mine. It should be the most personal and truly reflective part of your entire wedding day (besides the vows of course!) Why settle for a cookie-cutter preset when you can create your own? Why not make your memories as personal as your vows to your spouse? Through our proprietary communication process, we can help discover, create, and perfect your wedding photography & videography aesthetic. Bringing your vision to life!

Working with Andrea and her team at Amative Creative, was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was responsive for the entirety of our planning process and wedding. She was able to use her expertise to perfectly execute the information that I shared with her about my vision, which was probably difficult as I provided her with a broad array of adjectives. Her and her second photographer, Claire, matched the energy of my husband and I which provided comfort and confidence for us on our wedding day. They went above and beyond for us, including, being almost an hour early to

capture extra details, transporting my dress, helping bustle/carry the train, wrangling wandering family members, and even offering to take some videos for a family member with their phone so that they could enjoy the moment. We received a preview within days that contained over 150 photos, which was such a pleasant surprise and even more appreciated as we were married on a major holiday weekend. The photos were beautiful, and exactly what we wanted. We felt that Amative Creative's prices are very fair for the luxury quality of photography and warm professionalism they provide to their couples.

From our initial call with Andrea, we knew she and her team would be an amazing asset to our big day. Words cannot begin to describe how Amative Creative exceeded our expectations! From the moment Andrea and the team arrived, it was like a long lost sister/friend/aunt/hypesuperwoman blew through the door. They were everywhere and all over, and yet not visible in the way you've seen *those* photographers & videographers at events. AND THE SNEAK PEAK ALBUM.... WOW!!!! A little over three months into our marriage and we STILL rave about how extraordinary Amative Creative captured our event, and

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 Read More 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 chooses 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!
