Thanks for stopping by!
I’m a lifestyle photojournalist and wedding photographer based out of Memphis, Tennessee. I am so incredibly blessed to do what I love and meet awesome people at the same time! I’m married to the raddest geek you’ll ever meet and we have three fur babies who will lick you to death! (you’ve been warned)
I shoot strictly digital with nikon equipment and I am proficient with Adobe Photoshop CS5, that being said, I really don’t do much editing to my work! Feel free to lounge around the blog, or make your way to my website, I’d love to hear from you!

ariel | senior 2010 | jackson, tn portrait photographerJuly 21st, 2009Ariel is kind of shy. But I think we hit it off fairly well! I had so much fun getting to know Ariel yesterday evening. We talked about music, movies, and all sorts of trivial things. I’m so excited to see her graduate and move on to bigger and better things. Here’s a sneak peek [...] |

Hello all!
I still need a couple of entries for my contest, so please do continue contacting me!
This Sunday I’m going to post three videos, because I honestly couldn’t choose which one I wanted to post more. One is a fairly popular artist, Lacuna Coil. The other two are indie(independent, not with a major label) artists, really.
We are the Fallen are made up of Ben Moody, one of two original members of Evanescence. John Lecompt and Rocky Gray from Evanescence, Machina, Living Sacrifice, etc. are also in this band. The vocals consist of American Idol finalist, Carly Smithson. They rock, and you should really check them out. Check out the forum, most of the members of the band post on there and chat. It’s pretty awesome.
My third and final video is Hana Pestle’s song “Need”. Hana is a fairly new artist, who is signed under Ben Moody’s label. She’s been campaigning for her song “Need” to be on the New Moon soundtrack. So please, if you like this song, add her on myspace and show some support! She is extremely down to earth and friendly, and she has some pipes!

Happy Wednesday!
I think I’ve been teasing everyone about this contest for long enough, I’ve decided to just go for it and announce a huge contest Amber Rhodes-Lapoint Photography will be running now through August 3, my birthday! It’s super huge because I am giving away a free wedding package to one lucky bride and groom. Please share this with anyone you know who is getting married!
Basically, contact me and schedule your engagement session. My session fee will be at a low-low $99 for the engagement session for a brief time. After our session I will post my favorite photo on here, and all of YOU will vote for your favorites!
I am also looking for some laughs and that means I want your best TRUE story about how you met your fiance, how you became engaged, or when you knew for sure you’d met “the one”. The better the story and the more I laugh the more points you score. After your engagement session, I will also post your stories for everyone to read and comment on. The story with the highest score from me and my hubby, and the session photo with the most votes will receive the contest prizes!
We (Amber and Dan) will be judging entries as they come in. We will each have up to 10 points to award. Entries should be emailed to amber@ambertakesphotos.com by August 3 . We will post stories throughout the month so even if you don’t share a story check back often for some good laughs.
Grand Prize (Value $900)
Unlimited Wedding Day Photography
Runner Up (Value $205)
A complimentary bridal session, (bride and) groomal session, or Trash the dress session. Your choice!

Friday I had the pleasure of meeting with Season, Trae and their family. We hung out and got to know each other for a couple of hours while I followed them around and let them spend some good quality family time with each other.
William and Brantley were absolute gentlemen, and I really enjoyed getting to know them as well!
I can’t wait for our next session together, and here’s a sneak peek for you guys!
What rockstars!
I had a great time with you guys, and I really hope you enjoy your sneak peek!!
