I don’t just take photographs. I design them.
Every unforgettable wedding image begins as a quiet refusal.
A refusal to blend in, to play it safe, to let your story look like anyone else’s.
I believe photographs should hold weight. The kind that turn heads, stop the scroll, and make you feel something long after the moment has passed.
Because the best images don’t happen by chance.
They’re built with instinct, intention, and an unapologetic point of view.
That’s not just photography.
That’s the art of remembering.
To be frank —I’m not here to make your wedding look like what’s trending. If that’s what you’re after, I’m not your photographer.
I’m here to create the kind of imagery that resists the noise, outlives the moment, and redefines what wedding photography can be.
When you use photography to cut through the noise — to move people, to draw them in, to make them feel something real — you’re not just documenting a wedding. You’re creating a legacy.
This is how moments outlive the day. One intentional frame. One risk worth taking. One image that could never belong to anyone else.
All you need to do is decide.
Are you ready?

BEHIND
the BRAND
I’m Amari Marie. Photographer. Archivist. Fashion-trained, wedding-devoted.
Before founding this studio, I was behind the lens in Los Angeles, signed with TGA and photographing editorials, model comps, and studio campaigns. It was there I fell in love with the craft of precision — learning how light, angles, and details could transform not just an image, but how someone felt in front of the camera.
When I moved to Hawaii, everything shifted. Weddings had a pulse I couldn’t ignore. I found myself smiling through every moment — and I still do. Unlike the fashion world, nothing here can be staged twice. The challenge and the beauty, is to create photographs that are both elevated and deeply alive.
My philosophy is simple: wedding photography should preserve not only how the day looked, but how it felt. That means sweeping context and quiet details. Emotion and elegance. Images that are as flattering as they are transportive.
This is what I bring to every commission: the refinement of editorial, the rawness of documentary, and the restraint to know when each is needed. The result is a body of work that is polished yet pulsing, timeless yet entirely your own.
My dog Charlie is the great love of my life.
Espresso in the mornings, iced matcha in the afternoons.
If I wasn't a photographer, I'd be a fashion designer. I designed this dress, actually.
A bar with a great espresso martini loves to see me coming.
I'm secretly obsessed with classic cars. This is my dream.

PROUST
QUESTIONNAiRE
Still here? Perfect. If we're going to work together, we gotta go a little deeper. Here are my answers to the famously big questions, a la Vanity Fair.
What’s your idea of perfect happiness?
A sunlit terrace, a fully-charged laptop, three unread Vogue issues, and a lifetime ban on the words “Can we hop on a quick call?”
What’s your greatest extravagance?
My shameless devotion to Louis Vuitton — with my prized treasure being the Pochette Félicie.
On what occasion do you lie?
When asked how long a “quick edit” will take.
Which historical figure do you most identify yourself with?
I’ve been told I’d have thrived in Oscar Wilde’s living room, which feels about right.
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
Humility. You’re allowed to say you’re good at what you do. And preferably how good.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I’d stop chasing perfection like it was running late to a party.
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
My greatest achievement is refusing to name it — because the next one should always be greater.
What is your most marked characteristic?
Editorial brain. Rebel heart. Obsessive attention to the shade of white in a brand palette.
What do you most value in your friends?
Emotional precision, wit, spontaneous voice notes, and the willingness to call me out when required.
What’s your secret talent?
Convincing grooms they actually like being photographed.
WORKING with AMARI WAS QUITE EASILY the SINGLE GREATEST EXPERIENCE of OUR ENTIRE WEDDING.
