Amative Creative | Photo & Video

A blue checkmark inside a light blue star shape.

Amative Creative is a luxury wedding photography and videography team known for one defining promise: your wedding imagery will be edited and crafted specifically for you. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all preset, every couple’s photos and films are customized to reflect their personal vision—whether that feels bright and airy, dark and moody, natural and timeless, earthy and romantic, or editorial and fashion-inspired. This tailored approach ensures your memories look the way you’ve always imagined, not like someone else’s wedding. Founded by fine art photographer Andrea Caresse Lewis, Amative Creative has spent more than a decade documenting celebrations with a seamless, fully integrated photo and video team. Their process is intentionally personal, guiding couples from the early planning stages through the final delivery with thoughtful communication, creative direction, and a calm, supportive presence on the wedding day itself. The result is imagery that feels authentic, emotional, and beautifully refined—capturing not only how everything looked, but how it felt to live it. Based in Virginia, and with local team members across states like Colorado and Georgia, Amative Creative serves weddings across the United States with travel fees waived nationwide, while also documenting destination celebrations internationally in locations such as Italy, France, Greece, Iceland, Spain, Morocco, and beyond. Their work has been trusted by luxury planners, high-end venues, and couples who value both artistry and experience. At its heart, Amative Creative believes wedding imagery should become part of your legacy—artwork that grows more meaningful with time. Couples who choose them are drawn to a balance of elevated aesthetics and genuine warmth, knowing their story will be preserved with care, intention, and a style that is unmistakably their own.
