We're Amy & Archer.
Here's our latest work and studio news.

It’s not every day that the surprise proposal you are photographing gets recorded by the local news! ABC 11’s Stephanie Lopez WTVD happened to be at UNC’s Old Well right before Chris asked Amberly to marry him! When I mentioned they’d be coming by, she stuck around to capture the moment. See the story (and a cameo […]

When Mike and I first moved to Raleigh we, for lack of a better term, shopped around for a church to attend. When we were in our deciding process, we attending a Young Professionals gathering at The Summit Church. It was here that we met Megan. She became our first official friend in Raleigh! We […]

When I emailed Collette to follow-up with her after her initial inquiry into wedding photography, I received quite possibly the best response I have ever had the privilege to read. I asked her to give me more details on her and Patrick’s big day, and this is how she responded: Our wedding day is going […]

On October 4th I received an email from my contact form from Collette. She started by saying she loves my style and way of capturing a story–words any photographer would love to hear! When I asked her how she had heard about me, she said: Honestly, in unfortunately typical 2017 fashion, I have no idea […]

Just in case you didn’t know, the only thing better than ONE adorable, 3-years-old, fashionable, blonde-haired beauty is TWO! These identical twin girls share a special sisterly bond that will be so special as they grow up. It was a perfect fall day when I met with Addison & McKenzie and their sweet Momma at […]

MY DREAM CAME TRUE, Y’ALL! I got to photograph an ENGLISH BULLDOG (and her cute family, too). Lindsey, Justin, and Levi are such an adorable family–it’s so clear the love these two parents have for their first born! Okay, enough from me, I know y’all are here to see pictures of a cute baby and […]

When the bride asks, “can you take a photo of us on the unicorn?”, you KNOW you’ve just captured one of the best weddings ever! Back in May, Archer and I went down to Holden Beach North Carolina to capture the wedding of Sarah and Eric. What started as a bit of a hectic day […]

AG1 Photography is now Amy and Archer Photography. As you may or may not know, AG1 Photography started back in 2011 right after I graduated from Ithaca College. To make a long story short, a nickname of mine in college was AGinsbe1 (the username I had for my school email). When I started taking photo […]

Rebranding Announcement! Well, I suppose it’s important to start at the beginning! Did you know that before AG1 Photography, we were referred to as A. Ginsbe. One. Photography? Talk about a mouthful! There’s a funny story that goes along with why that was the original name, and I’d like to share that with you as […]
