Amy Philp Photography

Amy has taken our family photos for the past few years. Amy brings her fun energy to her sessions but is very patient with our small children. I’m always excited to seeing the end result.I wish that we had found Amy sooner.Thanks for plenty of laughs and beautiful photos Amy. I can’t wait for our next session. X

Where to even begin.......I reached out to Amy to discuss having her as our birth photographer after recommendations from a few people & a scroll through her facebook page. There was a post introducing herself & I really resonated with what she had written.I only 'met' Amy via a zoom call & lots of text msgs back & forth before the birth, but I was always 100% confident that Amy was the right person to have in our birth space & I was right.When I think of Amy I think of sunshine & rainbows. She is a whole vibe & oozes positivity. My partner's first contact with Amy was when she arrived at our birth & he instantly connected with her & was his usual bubbly, joking self, despite not being totally on board with the birth photography initially.Amy makes a pregnant, birthing mother look absolutely beautiful. She truly captured something wonderful when photographing our birth & they are photos I look at with so much love & happiness. Amy was also so incredibly supportive & encouraging throughout my labour, offering words of encouragement & just being silently present when needed. Even when things got a little complicated post birth, Amy was the calming presence I needed when everything else was getting chaotic.If you have ever considered hiring a birth photographer than Amy is it!

Absolutely loved having Amy as our wedding photographer and all the beautiful photos we received. She was so lovely and fun - we received many comments from our guests after the day re: how approachable and skilled she was.She was always available when we had questions and was very prepared for the day.If you’re looking for a stress free, organised and easily contactable photographer Amy is the one!

Working with Amy throughout my pregnancy has been an absolute pleasure. She has gone above and beyond all of my expectations and consistently blows me away with her work. Working with her for the variety of shoots has been so easy, relaxing, positive and empowering. I cannot wait until our next photography session to see what she can do next. Cannot recommend Amy enough!

Amy was so helpful before the wedding, the day of and afterwards. She’s very friendly and professional. Our photos are beautiful and I’m so happy we trusted her with capturing our special day.

Amy does the most beautiful photos. We had her take photos of our daughters formal and she did not disappoint. Beautiful memories captured on our special day. Her happy personality, easy going nature and big smile will make any person glow in that perfect photo.

Where do I start! My word will just not do this enough justice.Amy is simply amazing and everyone needs her to take their photos, not just weddings, engagements, couples, family, newborn or birth, this woman can do it all and capture it perfectly. She captures the essence of the couple seamlessly and beautifully.I spent a while looking around at photographers for our Wedding and I found myself constantly drawn back to Amy's photography, I just loved the way she captures moments. So we purchased one of Amy's packages that involved an engagement shoot which I loved as it gave us a chance to work with each other before the big day.My partner was terrified of being photographed and was so anxious going into our engagement shoot, that was, before he mer Amy. Instantly his worries eased, he relaxed, we laughed and laughed some more and had so much fun our entire shoot, if I didn't know id made the perfect choice before after that shoot and receiving the photos back I just knew the magic she would work on our wedding day would be next level. He left that shoot so excited for our wedding photos, something that was his biggest concern of the entire day.For our wedding I spent so much time finding the right spots in Highfields and surrounds for the perfect sunset shot, I had some amazing ideas and places picked to match our wedding and our outside ceremony location, that was until Mother Nature sure put a spanner in the works for us and it was forecast to rain in the days leading up to the wedding and for the entire weekend we were getting married. I can not tell you how bummed I was that I wouldn't get the perfect day or the perfect photos id envisioned. HOWEVER Amy did what Amy does, she pivoted and captured us absolutely magically, I didn't think I could be even more happy than the engagement shoot captures, DAMN WAS I WRONG! Our wedding photos I have trouble putting into words, just how perfect and amazing they are.Amy spent 10ish hours with us on our wedding day and she had her work cut out for her, our location was moved inside, the rain was off and on, it was foggy then it was just dull and overcast, it was misty and it was just a difficult to shoot kinda day. But she didn't skip a beat, her energy was bright, bubbly, happy and calming, whilst also directive enough to capture all the shots we needed and wanted. We jumped in and out of traffic to get some truly amazing shots with our bride and groom tribe, we spent the time laughing and just being us, as candid as we could with a little firm direction when we were acting like school kids haha.Amy went above and beyond because she knew how bummed I was and she wanted to give me some epic shots and my goodness did she do just that!Not only was she amazing with us as the bride and groom and our bridal/groom team, but also with all our guests, her job capturing 80+ people crowded inside the venue wasn't easy, trying to get all those shots we still wanted with our friends and family but still allowing us to flow naturally during our special day/night. We had so many of our guests comment to us just how amazing Amy's energy was, how easy to talk to and how personable she was and also commenting now on how stunning and epic our photos are and they truly are just that, all nearly 900 of them.Thankyou so much Amy, you weren't like a photographer routined getting the job done and leaving, you were like a friend enjoying the time with us, capturing us, getting amongst us all to capture our vibe, it was EXACTLY what we wanted, all of the photos, it was the day I hadn't planned for or wanted, but it was EVERYTHING and more because of the way you embraced it and captured it, outside of your comfort zone and with all the little things going wrong, you handled everything and anything thrown at you, you are worth all the money and so much more.Thankyou you amazing human for the moments captured in time you've gifted us for many many years to come, to cherish and look back on. I appreciate you so much, hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Amy has photographed our family 3 times and each has been an amazing experience. She makes you feel relaxed and makes the kids laugh. Her photos are incredible. I highly recommend Amy.

I’m not too sure if this review will stay within the character allowance (oops)Amy, thank-you. From the absolute bottom of my heart. Your personality is inspiring, the confidence you gave me was out of this world and the little giggles you gave to my children were contagious. You captured more then us, you captured so much happiness, genuine emotion and pure love.There was no pressure, you genuinely took the time to capture “us”… you being a mum grounded me instantly as we all know what wrestling kids in their “good clothes” to keep them clean is like. I mean, my 5 year old daughter even hugged you after the shoot!No judgement just allowed us to be ourselves and capture the most beautiful photographs of my family.Tristan and I cannot thank you enough and cannot WAIT to plaster these around our home.So grateful to have found you, you were definitely the rainbow after the storm and cannot wait to have you capture out wedding and many family photos to come.-Elisha & Tristan
