Hello there, I'm Amy

I am Amy, the face behind Paperbird Photography. We're based in Maryland and service Washington, D.C., Virginia, Maryland and beyond.

In this little life, I value family, kindness, a good cup of coffee, new growth on my houseplants, and of course…. Love. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by the best humans (and fur pups) in the world, and I cherish the time that we share together. 

When I photograph weddings, I’m always looking for those same connections and to document the love between two unique individuals.

I’ve thought a lot about how our images will outlive us, and the photographs that we leave behind become a part of our legacies.

Being witness to your love and bringing your story to life in a significant and meaningful way is why I love what I do. 

"Who we loved, what mattered to us, and what kind of life we live, with a pretty bow on it."

"Paperbird Photography doesn’t just take pictures. She captures the essence of your day."

I’m not sure Amy knew what she was getting into agreeing to capture our day.. But she took it and ran with it. She captured just enough “Brunswick” and a little bit of Pennsylvania twang; in the classiest most beautiful ways imaginable. Amy did so good at capturing everyone organically but also “sweetly” idk how else to put it. Genuinely, seeing myself in so many beautiful pictures was a great confidence boost. BOOK HER.
