Your love story is personal. Your wedding photography and videography experience should be, too! That’s why we curate your imagery to reflect your individual personality. We are intentional with you every step of the way so that you can have a luxury experience that stands the test of time. The most important thing to us on your wedding day is to create meaningful, emotional, and powerful images that truly capture your life journey and where your love has taken you so far. We are a team of creatives driven to curate a truly personal and luxury experience. Andrea, the team, & your vision work together to achieve your dreams. Andrea, the owner, and lead photographer & videographer, is obsessed with love stories. "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!

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!

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.
