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

When Wes texted me asking if I was available to photograph his proposal to Claire, I didn’t think it was actually going to happen. I legitimately asked him if I was being punked! I didn’t believe it until I saw the ring. I met Wes and Claire when they joined the small group that Mike […]

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 […]

Amanda & Jason’s beautiful and budget friendly WRAL Azalea Gardens wedding was my first wedding of 2017! This wedding was the PERFECT way to break into wedding season! First of all, you could not have asked for more perfect weather! It was sunny and warm without being too hot and humid. The garden was in […]

A few months ago I met with Sarah and her mom at a Panera in North Raleigh to discuss potentially capturing Sarah’s upcoming wedding to Eric. Whenever I do one of these meetings, one of the first things I ask is the story of how he proposed. I was in for quite the surprise when […]

Back in January Elizabeth from Elizabeth’s Events put together a winter wedding styled shoot! Part of this shoot involved using a STUNNING blue Jaclyn Jordan New York gown and shooting out in the woods! These beautiful blue, white, gray, and sparkly details remind me how BEAUTIFUL a winter wedding can be! The backdrop for this […]

Last month I participated in a styled shoot put together by Elizabeth’s Events at Carlee Farm in Oxford, NC. This shoot was really more like two different shoots in one! Today I’m sharing images from Part 1 of the shoot, which featured a beautiful gown by Gretchen Anderson of Edith-Elan. This is the Rosalyn gown […]
