meet the hype woman behind the camera
Nice to meet ya
i’M SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE!
I’m Amiee and I’m the Founder + Lead Photographer at Our Third Grace. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2013, and if I’m being totally honest, I didn’t even want to be a wedding photographer at first. After capturing my first wedding, I realized it was so much more than taking photos, and quickly grew to love documenting love.
I’m an Enneagram 2 (the helper), a metalhead, Maxxinista, and pickle fanatic. When it comes to your big day, beyond being your photographer, I will be your biggest cheerleader, shoe-tier, beer-getter, and tear-wiper (after I’m done wiping mine)!
After 10 years of capturing traditional weddings (and getting caught in many dance circles), I’m now focusing on breaking away from tradition and helping couples create memories that are perfectly authentic to them. I’ve taken a look at everything I have photographed and my JAM is shooting in places that aren’t your traditional venue, and don’t hold 100% of the traditional values. I’m here for the couples that are looking to get a little creative with their day. If this sounds like you, let’s chat!
my story
In late 2019, I was given the news that a very close friend of mine Kristen had passed suddenly, and my life forever changed. I realized that time is valuable beyond belief, and it is not something that is promised. It is so easy to get caught up in everyday life, and to miss out on the little things. Leading a life that is filled with positive experiences, healthy relationships, and doing what’s right for yourself became extremely important to me.
This mental shift then became attached to my work. So many people are living out other people’s dreams on their wedding day, when truly it’s not about them. It’s about you and yours. So why create a whole day that is catered to please the masses? Why not take the love of your life, your most cherished friends/family, and your favorite experiences to create a wedding day that truly speaks to you. Whether that is an elopement on top of a mountain, a backyard wedding with your closest people, or a bash with your whole crew, it will be yours. Your wedding day isn’t a day you can just do over, so do it right.
WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED
THE WHY
SO, WHY OUR THIRD GRACE?
I am a firm believer of “with time comes grace”. So much so, that it is tattooed on my arm. It is a song quote from one of my favorite bands that has resonated with me during multiple stages of my life and can be applied to anyone’s life!
Through heartbreak, learning about myself, finding new love, and finding my people, this quote stands the test of time. So what exactly ARE the three graces?

who I am
WHO WE KEEP
I wholeheartedly believe that time brings forth grace. Our journeys through both wonderful and challenging times shape us and contribute to the individuals we become. It is through both positive and negative experiences that we learn, grow, and define ourselves. Understanding and embracing your true self, while accepting and owning your uniqueness, is your first grace.
WHO WE ARE
You and yours. The love of your life. They believe in all that you are, and all that you do. Through your ups and downs you continue to choose each other, constantly growing and evolving for the better. Together, you navigate the ups and downs of life, consciously choosing one another every day. This unwavering commitment and shared journey of growth becomes your second grace.
Experiences that deeply touch the heart. Company that nourishes the soul. These are your third grace. These meaningful encounters and connections leave a lasting impact. They bring joy, fulfillment, and a sense of belonging. Whether it's shared moments with loved ones, adventures that ignite your spirit, or the simple joy of spending time with those who uplift and inspire you - these experiences, along with the company that you keep, provides you and your partner with your third grace.
