Tessa + Scott | Montana Wedding | Amber Tyler Photographer

April 3, 2017

You know when you meet a couple, and you think to yourself “it just makes sense”. Tessa and Scott are one of those couples that when I first met them in person, it just made sense. They were meant for each other. I could just feel right away this is a couple that has it right- they are not only in love, they are each other’s best friend. I’m pretty sure Tessa had a permanent smile on her face, and Scott was so calm and ready right from the get go. They were both so excited to make it official and spend their lives with each other.

This was one of those jobs where it was just good for my soul. I always go into a bit of a slump during winter because I don’t have many weddings (thanks to PNW winter weather…), so I have quite a bit of down time. Getting to spend the day with Scott and Tessa and their families was just what I needed. What I love the most about my job is the connections I get to make with people, all while creating some beautiful art at the same time. I love people. I love, love. And I love documenting love. So naturally, weddings just make me happy and remind me of all the good in the world. I mean, what is better than spending what will be one of the best days of their lives with people?!

Scott + Tessa,

Thank you so much for having me capture your day! I had so much fun getting to know the two of you and document your love! You made my job super easy by being so authentic and just being in the moment. You didn’t let the rain get you down!! And it made for some awesome photos anyway! Ha! I am so excited for what the future has in store for the two of you… and I promise to watch the Lord of the Rings series.. because I’m pretty sure I’m the last person on the planet that hasn’t lol.. These photos put a huge smile on my face, I hope you love them!

Sincerely, Amber Tyler

Bridal Photos | Glacier National Park | Amber Tyler Photographer

March 6, 2017

This past weekend, I decided on a whim to travel up to Kalispell, Montana to visit my friend Kelly of Kelly Kirksey Photographer. She ended up planning a quick photo shoot for us up at Glacier National Park. I was beyond excited for this because I have been wanting to shoot at Glacier again for years now! I had never seen it at winter and just knew it would make for a stunning shoot. She found an amazing model, a gorgeous dress from Mimi’s Bridal, and a beautiful bouquet from Rose Mountain Floral. Our model, Paige, is a hair stylist as well as makeup artist so she had that part covered! Check out some of my favorites below!

End It Movement | Amber Tyler, Photographer

February 23, 2017

Today, 02/23/17, is National Shine a Light on Slavery Day. Each year we snap a shot of ourselves with the red X on our hands to symbolize that we are taking a stand to help bring awareness to human trafficking/ modern day slavery. This year I decided I wanted to help spread the word by asking some of my friends to let me come photograph them in their own environments. Give it a lifestyle feel. We have these freedoms that I think we sometimes take for granted. And while we are going about our day to day tasks, there are more people having their freedoms taken away and being sold and exchange into slavery. Many don’t know that human trafficking is a major problem here in the United States. What they also don’t know is that it affects us on a local level as well. Right now, nearly 1 in 5 victims of slavery is a child, and 55% of victims are girls and women. An estimated 2,000,000 children world wide are currently captured as sex slaves. Cities in the U.S. are being used as entry ways for victims to be transferred to bigger metro cities, as well as other countries.

Now, I am not telling you all of this to scare you, I am telling you this because we need to be a voice for the voiceless! There are many organizations actively working to help free slaves and integrate them back into normal lives. These photos are for a non- profit organization called the End It Movement. END IT is a Coalition of the leading organizations in the world in the fight for freedom. They help support and raise awareness for these organizations that are making the rescue happen. Here are a few great organizations that I follow that you can partner with to help end slavery:

A21

International Justice Mission

World Relief
