After a fairly unpleasant experience with a photographer we had previously hired to shoot our wedding, we were lucky enough to be able to hire Amelia and Graham about six weeks prior to our wedding. We are so glad we made the change. From our first meeting, we felt at ease. Their work was amazing. They are truly artists, and will not leave you with the standard wedding photography that you see from so many wedding photographers. Plus, they are incredibly professional and fun to be around. Instead of our photographers feeling obtrusive, they felt like they were part of our wedding. So many of our guests commented on how great that was, and how much fun they were. We got back our photos so quickly, and could not be happier. And as much as we love them, we're finding most of our relatives and friends are amazed by them too. Some of them look like they came out of a magazine. If having truly amazing photography is important to you, I highly recommend Bound By, with Amelia Strauss and Graham Yelton.

amelia and graham (of boundby) were awesome – we couldn’t have asked for a better pair. We were planning a long distance wedding in California (from ny) so was not able to meet with many of the vendors until right before the wedding. Amelia and graham met my husband and i the night before the wedding to discuss the day of run down. They have an easy-going, fun but professional style that makes you (and anyone else in front of the camera) at ease. They took some great shots all day/night of the wedding, became best buds w/ my bridesmaids in the process, AND suggested getting up early the next morning to take some really great morning shots in the mountains/valleys of napa (some of which are my fav from the wedding). They are incredibly dedicated, hardworking, and have a killer eye for great pictures. You will not be disappointed…and you’ll have a blast while doing it. I would HIGHLY recommend them to any bride and groom looking for amazing pictures to remember their wedding day.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED having Amelia Strauss shoot my wedding. Literally, her personality and vision for the photography package added to the loveliness of the day. Her playful personality may not strike you as belonging to someone with entrepreneurial grit and determination, but I can assure that the professionalism and skill she brings to the table are sharp and above the curve. She worked to figure out what would jive with the day's events and how she could fit in there, she communicated quickly and thoroughly - and she even sought to memorize all the wedding party's name before she met them! Her work speaks for itself, just check out her site and you'll be obsessed. Literally, I met a friend when Amelia shot my wedding, and now I have pictures that are all works of art that I will have for a lifetime.

Working with Amelia was the best choice that I made in the entire wedding planning process. Choosing a photographer was very important to me and I appreciated how Amelia not only treated me like a client, but also as a friend. She listened to what type of photos I wanted, made sure I always looked my best and did an awesome job of corraling my large family for pictures.

Amelia was a pleasure to work with. She helped put all of my wedding party at ease, and managed to capture moments that truly reflect the love and excitement that was felt all during the wedding weekend. She pushed us to try different things, and I am so glad that she did! Her pictures are unique, never cookie cutter and that really made me happy that I choose her to be our wedding photographer.Also on a side note, I was shocked and excited by how quickly the pics came back after the wedding. A nice bonus :)

I could not be more pleased with the quality of Amelia's work. Wow! The pictures are unblievable. She takes great care in knowing her bride and groom and the things that are important to them. On top of that -- Amelia is an absolute blast. I couldn't think of a better person to be with me for every detail of one of the most important days of my life. I love her!

Amelia was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. She is not only a great photographer with a creative eye, but friendly, and full of energy. On our wedding day, she put in no less than a 15 hour day, showing up at 9:30 a.m. as I got readying and leaving at about 1:30 a.m. She is a treat to work with and makes the entire process easy and enjoyable!

I loved having Amelia as my wedding photographer! She is incredibly talented, creative, engaging, and energetic, and she's great at making her clients feel comfortable. One of my favorite things about Amelia is that she thinks outside the box. My images were a perfect reflection of our wedding day and I couldn't have asked for an easier, more enjoyable experience!

Amelia joined my (now) husband and I along with our family and friends to shoot our wedding in Jamaica, and we are SO happy she agreed to come along with us! A destination wedding demands a good bit of flexibility, and Amelia was an absolute dream to work with from the planning stages all the way to the morning after shoot (amazing!) - always flexible, totally relaxed, and completely on top of her game. She isn't scared to hang from cliffs to get the perfect shot either! Amelia didn't just photograph our wedding - she spent time getting to know us and our group, constantly went above and beyond, and brilliantly captured the true emotion of the day. We couldn't be happier with the experience of working with Amelia, and the pictures are more beautiful than we could have imagined.

Working with Amelia is an absolute dream! Not only is she super talented, but she makes a concerted effort to get to know you, your story, and become a friend. She knows her craft and I adored the artistic touch she used to capture my wedding day. She cares, and to her it’s not about a checklist of pictures, it’s about telling the story of the most important day in your life thus far. I am so pleased with her work and am thrilled to have such beautiful images to remind me of that day.

Amelia was so great to work with. We communicated back and forth from LA to Atlanta with ease. I could not have asked for a better photographer. Amelia is amazing and has such a special talent. I now consider her a special friend. I would recommend her to anyone!

Amelia was the most amazing wedding photographer. Not only did I love her work, but I loved her interaction with my wedding party and me as well. She is so personal and has a genuine desire to know you as a person and not just a client. Amelia loves what she does and it shows as she puts 100% into her work. I love her creativity and her eye for great shots. I love also that she thinks outside the box and wants to stand out amongst other photographers. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Amelia as a photographer. You will walk away with not only great pictures, but an incredible friend as well.

Amelia is not only an incredibly talented photographer, you will want her as your best friend. She has such a gift of capturing people for who they are through her photography. Amelia went above and beyond to make our wedding day special just for us and we all had so much fun with her!

In our quest for a wedding photographer, my then fiancée and I knew immediately that Amelia was the right choice for us. Not only is she a consummately talented and creative photographer, but a genuine, fun loving, and altruistic person. Throughout the entire process of showing her portfolio, customizing a package that fit our needs, working with us virtually, and scheduling, she exuded ultimate professionalism. This trend continued on as our wedding day drew nigh, she was there to capture our special day and in a way that she felt fit our overall vision of the day.

Amelia was such a blessing to work with. We were so lucky to have her there to help us with not only photography questions but any other wedding advice we needed. She is so easy to get along with and made my husband and the rest of the wedding party feel at ease during all of the formal shots- by the end of the festivities you want her to be your best friend! I am beyond happy with the way our pictures turned out and am so proud to show them off. Amelia did exactly what we asked for and more..we'll miss you in Birmingham!

My wife and I thought Amelia Strauss Photography was the perfect fit for what we were looking for in our engagement session and wedding day coverage. She was very fun to work with, and we could obviously tell that this is what she loves doing. The final product was spectacular, and exactly what we wanted. We loved every second of working with Amelia, and we are thrilled to call her our friend, and we wouldnt hesitate one bit to work with her in the future. -Blake Burton

Choosing Amelia as our wedding photographer was one of the BEST decisions we made throughout the planning process! Her enthusiasm and love for weddings made our shoots so much fun. She is absolutely flexible and loves to travel - our engagement shoot was in Vegas! I would highly recommend Amelia to any bride looking for a modern, creative photographer to reflect who they are as a couple and the essence of their wedding day. I couldn't be happier with our photos and we've received tons of compliments from friends and family. FIVE STARS!!!

Getting Amelia to take our wedding photos was one of the best aspects of my wedding. She is so much fun and energetic, while being professional at the same time. She brought an extra amount of joy and warmth to the day, enabling the wedding party and family to be comfortable and even enjoy taking pictures. When the whole thing was done, her pictures were better than I had imagined. I had several people tell me they were the best wedding pictures they had ever seen. The reason is that her photographs are beautiful and artistic, capturing the unique feel of each wedding.

Amelia is not only one of the most talented photographers I have seen, but she is truly one of the most delightful people to interact with. She is spunky, yet very professional. She has an amazing eye to capture exactly what you desire. I was amazed at the work she did at my wedding. I cannot even tell you how many people have asked me who my photographer was when they saw my photos. I also loved that my photos were so original. She gets to know each couple and figures out what best captures their style and their personality, making their photos uniquely designed to fit just them. Me, my husband, and our friends had such an enjoyable time with Amelia during the entire weekend of our wedding.
