Paperbird Photography

r second shooter, Lindsay, was also amazing. Amy and Lindsay did so much to make the day run smoothly. They were familiar with the venue and suggested a bunch of shooting locations that looked incredible. They also went above and beyond with helping us keep all the photos on track, decide what kinds of shots we wanted to get, and generally help things move smoothly from the photo side of everything. We’re so happy with how the photos came out, and small touches like grabbing us from the reception to shoot a few after-dark photos under the neon signs really made the photos special. Please hire Paperbird!

me - directing us when necessary and capturing organic moments whenever she could. We worked with her for both engagement and wedding photos are are thrilled with how she captured us and our day.

nts to the small, intimate details we might have otherwise missed. Not only is she a true artist behind the lens, but she also helped keep our big families organized with patience and professionalism. She made sure we were able to fully enjoy our day, stepping in to handle everything with ease—even with our rambunctious toddler stealing the show! Her ability to catch unique, special moments was truly remarkable. From start to finish, she made us feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that every precious memory would be beautifully preserved and even kept us laughing between shots. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond, look no further. We couldn’t recommend her enough!

024!) but Amy was fine with the short notice and we even managed to fit an engagement session in 1 month before the wedding. Amy was a pleasure to work with and was super prepared! She put on my husband’s boutonnière, helped my sister pin me into my dress, and had all the emergency essentials in her bag. She made everyone feel comfortable and taking our wedding pictures was so much fun! The pictures themselves are amazing, we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. I would highly recommend Paperbird Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

nt or wedding photos. We were so happy, we recommended her work our friends!

to the wedding entirely stress free, helping us generate a timeline, and day of logistics coordination. In deciding between photographers, Amy provided us with SEVERAL stunning galleries and glowing testimonials from other happy couples! We loved working with Amy, and she helped capture our day in a perfect way. She is excellent in working with families, vendors, venue staff. We felt so at ease having her take our photos and definitely reduced our stress level both leading up to and during our wedding day. We love how our wedding and engagement photos came out, and couldn't be happier that we chose to go with Amy! We look forward to using her in the future for other special moments in our lives!

s and our wedding at the Willard Intercontinental hotel in Washington D.C. Amy and Caroline were extremely organized and very patient, especially working with the other vendors that we had and of course adding a level of calmness to our wedding day. They were very accommodating, presented a timeline and made sure Steve and I were happy. I am grateful that we hired them and I highly recommend anyone planning a wedding to trust in them to take your photographs. Everyone is still talking about our wedding and we have beautiful photographs to look at thanks to Paperbird Photography!

actly what I was looking for. I am not an engagement shoot kind of person, so instead we met for a drink near our venue and hashed out what we wanted. On the day of, they coached us through everything and didn't miss a shot. The only caveat I have is that their editing timeline is long -- 40 to 60 business days. This didn't bother me, however, and it was worth it to have an online, USB and some print-outs in the sweet little keepsake box they provide.

for any questions or concerns we had about photography and location scouting. They joined us on a tour of the day of locations months ahead and made us feel prepared for the big day. We love how the photos turned out aesthetically and are so happy we chose Paperbird. Don't hesitate to book them for your wedding or event. Thank you!

ut also creative and fun - they surprised us with a late night photo shoot involving smoke bombs and confetti cannons on our New Year’s Eve wedding! We felt (and honestly still feel) like movie stars. It was such a breeze to work with them, too. They were easily one of our best choices for our wedding. Thank you both for making us feel so awesome (and look so good) on our big day! For those looking for photographers, you will not go wrong by reaching out to Amy and Caroline.

dly together like they were destined to do this their entire lives! We barely noticed them throughout the wedding day, yet they captured hundreds and hundreds of photos of amazing moments, half of which we don't remember because the day flew by. Their style is so timeless, and they were extremely organized and responsive throughout the entire process. We can't recommend these girls enough, and hiring them will be one of the best wedding decisions you make.

ed. They are both super sweet and professional. I would 100% recommend them for anyone’s wedding.

h us and our guests, and were able to get great shots without feeling intrusive. When we got our photos back we couldn’t believe how well they captured our wedding- their unique style and post production skills enabled them to capture the wedding as we felt it, visually. We were very impressed and will cherish our wedding photos forever. They were incredibly professional, communicative, and worked well with our videographer, and venue. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of photographers and will continue to recommend them!

ore making a decision. Amy and Caroline 1000% stood out immediately, and we walked away from our initial meeting with them feeling a combination of excited and relieved that we had found exactly who we were looking for. They are low key, chill, and fun but also extremely professional, technically proficient, and creative/artistic. The perfect combination for a wedding. We seriously could not have been happier, and every. single. person. from our wedding has commented on how amazing our photos turned out. A quick few bullets/highlights: - We are a gay couple and though DC is a liberal city, as we all know, meeting with wedding vendors can feel a bit daunting or frightening when you are not sure how people will personally react. Amy and Caroline immediately made us feel right at ease and were very warm and welcoming to us, our friends, and our families. - I said this earlier but it is worth repeating. Amy and Caroline have superior technical skills and did amazingly to find the right lighting at every point of the day. - They are extremely creative and artistic. They made our engagement session and wedding day feel special and different. It felt very tailored to us and unique. We did not at all feel like we were getting generic shots. - They got so many amazing candid pictures that we did not even expect. - They accommodated every crazy request we made and made time for every type of group shot we wanted. - They have very calm and kind personalities but were still great at wrangling/dealing with our crazy friends and families. - They exerted the time and effort necessary to make our final photos flawless. I cannot repeat enough how amazing of an experience it was working with Paperbird. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

entire day with us. They got great shots (including some artsy ones with affects) that included serious wedding shots as well as fun party shots. They didn't intrude on the wedding (I've seen photographers get in between brides and grooms to get the 'perfect' shot) but still got great angles. About a month after our wedding they sent us a wood box containing ~25 high quality prints of their favorite photos along with a flashdrive containing both original (high) resolution and web resolution photos (I didn't count, but >500 images). They also sent a link to a site containing all of our photos in high res that we can share with our families. No getting watermarked proofs and then having to pay to download or print. Can't recommend them enough. Thanks Amy & Caroline!

t to work at this wedding venue. The couple had a wonderful wedding with an outstanding reception party. The happy newlyweds are the two friendliest and easy-going people! No wonder that the photographers they have chosen were just the same. I had a blast working with Amy & Caroline from Paperbird Photography! The wedding was a wonderful experience, because I get to work with talented professionals, who enjoy every minute of their job and spread the happiness around them. Working with Amy & Caroline didn’t even classify as working as we all enjoyed the experience and just made sure to invade as less as possible and capture the real emotion of the day and the beautiful love story sealed by the vows. RIMAS FILMS would like to highly recommend Paperbird Photography!

Both Amy and Caroline, have a soft spoken way of capturing all the beauty of your wedding. Whatever picture you want, they will snap it! I did a lot of comparing between photographers and hands down, they offer the best package that no other photographers did. From the moment you start putting on your make up; all the special moments in between, to the very last dance as a married couple, Amy and Caroline are there up front and center snapping all of you with your loved ones. One thing that I enjoyed working with them is that they really like the idea of doing your engagement shoot. My husband and I weren’t so keen at first at doing one but I am so glad that we did. It was a great chance for Amy and Caroline to get to know us as a couple and it was overall, a great way of practicing having your picture taken for a long period of time. When receiving those pictures from our engagement shoot, I was completely floored and knew that our wedding pictures were in amazing hands. The wedding gallery we received from them, with all of the beautifully edited photos were completely stunning. At no point throughout going through the pictures did I say, “I didn’t like that”, they truly caught everything I could have asked for. In addition to receiving our digital wedding gallery, Amy and Caroline send the most beautiful wooden box with a USB of all of your photos. The cutest keepsake! I can’t say enough about Paperbird Photography, they were an absolute delight to work with and if you are so lucky to have them be your photographers, you won’t regret it!

y had not been to previously. We ended up meeting a few months before the wedding so they could scope out the place. Throughout the whole process, they were responsive to all of my questions. We had a detailed photography plan for the big day. Pictures were executed flawlessly. We have so many gorgeous couple photos, posed and candid, including a wide range of locations throughout the property. They had scouted locations before so it was easy to get right to portraits and family photos after the ceremony. After the wedding, they send a personalized box with prints, a USB, and a very thoughtful note included, in a gorgeous wooden keepsake box. It made it so easy so I didnt have to order every print I wanted! All my favorites were already included! I would definitely recommend Paperbird to other brides! They truly captured the happiness of the day.

hy degree, I was being unreasonably picky about my photographers. Fortunately, Amy and Caroline do have photography degrees and oh man oh man, it shows in their work. Their work is thoughtfully composed and beautiful. Plus, they are so easy to get along with--- funny and a blast to be around! We felt completely at ease with the pair, despite the new/unfamiliar experience of getting photos professionally done. I love how they were willing to roll with whatever I threw at them. Our engagement session was shot at an "unconventional" location. With the wrong photographers, it could have looked cheesy and awful. Paperbird took my Dinosaurland location (it's exactly what it sounds like), and captured the greatest engagement photos of all time. One friend told me that despite hating everything wedding related on social media, our blog photos were the only ones he ever scrolled all the way through (this was the greatest wedding-related compliment I could ever hope to receive from this person, not joking). Our engagement photos were quirky and charming vs creepy and weird, and it's all thanks to Paperbird. Amy and Caroline were just as, if not more, fantastic on the wedding day. They were there the whole day-- from the getting ready photos until the big send off. They captured everything I wanted and everything I didn't know I wanted. Again, we had another "unconventional" location featuring a lot of street art. Amy and Caroline flexed their creative muscles, and delivered really rad wedding portraits! Having Amy and Caroline document my wedding was the best decision I made in the planning process. I'm thrilled to have met them, and even more thrilled with my photos that I'll treasure forever.

responsive, they accommodate all of our questions and requests, and they shared in our excitement with us! On the day of our wedding, they made us feel like a true priority, but in a very gentle, supportive way. The finish product (which they sent to us in a very timely manner) is absolutely stunning. We will treasure their work for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and ask them to be your photographers!

and wedding photos all came out so beautifully. They were totally accommodating of changes we wanted to make, and of the really long portraits list that we had for family photos. On the day, they helped us stay calm and got perfect shots of us, and our family and friends. We looked at a lot of photography options, and I am so glad that we ended up choosing Paperbird.

ing package includes an engagement session, which was very fun and turned out gorgeous. At first, we didn't know if we needed an engagement shoot — it hadn't really been part of our plan — but I'm so glad we did it. The photos were adorable and imaginative and captured our personalities well. On the wedding day, they were absolute pros. They were friendly, helpful and figured out the images we needed so I could rest easy. It was fabulous to know I could leave things in their capable hands! This pair made the whole process of the wedding so much less scary and stressful. They helped with the timeline as we figured out what portraits to do when. They were really thoughtful about adjusting for lighting and weather. They're artistic and savvy photo professionals but also fun, warm, kind and easy-going. Hanging out with them felt like hanging out with good friends. They helped put my husband and I at ease, so the photos are relaxed and a good representation of us.
