Meet Leah & Ben! I was sooo excited when Leah contacted me to say she and her fiance would be in town for Christmas and wanted ME to take their engagements! Such an honor! Both Ben and Leah live in Vegas now, but both grew up in MN. Actually, Leah’s mom was my kindergarten teacher. Wow…where does the time go?
These two brought a whole lot of JOY to their session! Seriously, I’ve never met a guy like Ben…so willing to laugh out loud, smile, and make the most of the session! Believe it or not, not all grooms-to-be seize the photo shoot the way Ben gladly did! Grateful! And I can’t forget about sweet Leah! Just look at her brilliant smile, flawless make-up, and gorgeous ensemble! When a bride-to-be shows up for a session as relaxed as Leah was, I know we’re going to have great great images! Stress translates in photos…and as you’ll notice, there’s not a trace of that in these images. B + L are a match made in MN, I mean, heaven!

Amber – we love LOVE these photos!! You are so amazingly talented and we had such a fun time that day. Your energy and artistic touch produced pictures we will cherish forever. Thank you!!!!!
Well, you’ve probably noticed by now that things look a little different; and hopefully a whole lot better! After 5 years of operation, ASP was due for a facelift, and we really hope you like the changes. We’ve added some great new gifts, products, and session options. To make things easy on you (because nobody loves website-hopping to find one piece of information), each tab contains all the information you’ll need for your session. Pricing, outfit suggestions, packages, and extra details. Seniors, Weddings, Families, Children, and Engagements all have your own page filled with helpful stuff. Do you see something we missed? If so, shoot us a message. We want you to choose ASP and love hearing from our clients. Thanks for celebrating with us on this exciting launch!

Way to go, the site looks really great. What a great way to show off your incredible skill working with a variety of people, no wonder you have over 17 weddings booked in this New Year!
Meet Adam & Mindy! Two of the most fun-loving, kind, and welcoming people we’ve had the honor of photographing! I met Mindy two years ago when she was a bridesmaid in her cousin’s wedding (I photographed it). As soon as she and Adam got engaged, she contacted me and we booked her immediately. It’s always fun to book a bridesmaid, because they’ve been in front of my camera, and know exactly what to expect. I was thrilled to hear Mindy liked what she saw! I really enjoyed working with Mindy and her mom throughout the planning process. We carefully crafted our timeline, and made the best of this gorgeous November day.
A & M’s wedding day was filled with all kinds of surprises: overcast skies, spotting a pink Cadillac on our way into town, scoping out some awesome locations in a line of trees, on top of a hill, and right out in front of the church. Kudos to Madison, MN for their countless photo locations! The best part: Mindy and Adam trusted my suggestions and locations and were so willing to go with the flow. I’m always thankful for wedding couples who trust my judgement.
From the dress to the decor, the flowers to the reception site, everything was carefully and creatively designed. No detail went left undone. A & M spent the whole day snuggling for warmth, exchanging sweet glances, laughing, saying “I do” while hosting the most amazing reception we’ve seen! Salad bar = YUM! Not to mention a dance we didn’t want to leave! And oh my goodness, is Adam’s expression when he first sees Mindy the most priceless “ooh” you’ve ever seen? LOVE IT! We send our love and best wishes to the happy couple! Thank you for choosing ASP to be part of your big day!

Amazing job capturing so many detailed aspects of the day! What a great couple to work with…and the pink cadillac, awesome.
So our title got a little longer last month, and you’re probably wondering what the “& design” is all about. Along with our new logo, we’re designing a brand new website sure to answer all your questions and distract you for hours at a time as you browse through our latest images. Basically, you’ll be saying goodbye to this site and hello to a more interactive, colorful, and user friendly website. We’re working hard on it, and hope to debut it in the next month or two. In the meantime, here’s a brief summary of the newest aspects of Amber Sue Photography:
1. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had a kit of beads, string, markers, and glue. I’d find something shiny and think, “Hey, I can turn that into something even cooler!” I can even remember a point in my life when I said to my mom, “I wish there was a way I could grow up and have a job where I just got to create things!” Interestingly enough, I now do! During our travels this year I’ve been able to accumulate and collect all kinds of worldly craft items, and with a hearty, “GO FOR IT” from my hubby, I opened my own ETSY store!!! Click here to see it. It’s filled with art, photographs, graphic design pieces, and jewelry. So, not only can I photograph your wedding, I can help make the jewelry for it! I recently had a bride order NINE sets of rings/earrings/necklaces for her bridesmaids. 
2. One of the joys of being in the photography business is getting to design one of a kind items for clients. Collages, storyboards, books, and greeting cards. I find great joy in hearing ideas and putting my creative touch on them. Christmas cards, save the dates, baby announcements, you name it, I can create it! Check out this fabulous card I made for a client of mine in California:
3. Hours on airplanes meant lots of time to create new designed items to sell. Some of my favorites are my custom hours prints, my wedding/family tree thumbprint posters, and my custom wedding prints. All of these can be found by clicking the links below each item, or by scrolling through my Etsy store!

Thank you for supporting Amber Sue Photography & Design in whatever ways you can! We’ve been going strong for FIVE years now and would be nothing without the faithful clients who tell their friends all about us! You are the best advertising we have, so thank you for all you do to promote on our behalf!

So cool that you added ‘design’. You are so talented Amber…do you ever surprise yourself with your creations? Cuz you certainly surprise me! Keep it up!!

You’re beyond any other company. ASP & Beyond should be your new name.
I hope I’ll join you once I get my painting studio set up. Then I can do portraits of your clients. I just need to throw paint

Looking forward to the new sight. I plan on getting on Etsy real soon & making lots of purchases. People compliment my earrings all the time.
Keep up the good work Mrs Creative !
