Candid, real and unposed photography

 

preserving your story in its truest form

Welcome! We are a passionate team of photographers devoted to capturing the moments that matter most—the real, raw, and heartfelt ones that tell your story honestly and beautifully. Our approach is centered around connection, intention, and preserving the beauty woven into everyday moments. Whether it’s a quiet embrace, joyful laughter, or the way the light gently falls around you, we strive to create images that feel timeless, meaningful, and true to who you are.


Specializing in couples, families, and intimate weddings, our team blends a natural and documentary-style approach with gentle guidance so you never feel stiff or overly posed. We believe the most beautiful images come from genuine connection and creating space for you to simply be present with the people you love most.


At the heart of our team is a deep love for people and a belief that every season of life holds beauty worth remembering. Our desire is simply to create a warm, peaceful, and meaningful experience where you feel comfortable, cared for, and fully yourself.


One of the beautiful things about working with a photography team is the consistency, support, and care it allows us to provide. Every photographer on our team shares the same heart and vision behind the camera—prioritizing authentic moments, meaningful connection, and storytelling that feels honest and full of life. This allows us to serve more families and couples while still maintaining the intentional experience and artistry our clients know and love.


Every session is more than just a photoshoot—it’s a chance to slow down, soak in the season you’re in, and preserve the moments you never want to forget. We would be honoured to tell your story.

Testimonials

We did an extended family photo shoot with Amber in Harrison Hot Springs area. Right from the consult, I knew I had found the right person. She was flexible, accommodating, interested in our needs and also set clear expectations. She did location research on her own time and communicated with me multiple times in advance of the shoot date. We also made a last minute change to our location, which she accommodated seamlessly. Our photo shoot went smoothly. Amber had lots of energy and was able to wrangle our large group (15 people and 3 dogs) without being demanding or bossy. And best of all, our photos turned out beautifully, capturing the personalities of all of our participants. I would recommend Amber to anyone seeking beautiful, natural family photos.

We had an incredible experience with Salt & Light Photography for our family photoshoot, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the beginning, Amber was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to reschedule twice due to weather, which we greatly appreciated.


Amber chose a stunning location for our shoot, and her eye for finding just the right spots and lighting was exceptional. She made us feel comfortable right away, which was reflected in the natural and relaxed feel of the photos. We were amazed by the variety of shots she captured and the number of pictures she delivered exceeded our expectations.


Thank you, Amber, for your professionalism, creativity, and for delivering such stunning pictures. We highly recommend Amber Vandermeer Photography to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer!

Eva Leeuwenkamp

Amber is an unreal photographer. Her photos are all over our house. She captures such genuine real moments. We got our photos back so fast. She makes you feel so comfortable, even when being in front of the camera really puts you outside of that comfort zone. She offers knowledgable direction to ensure you get a variety of beautiful photos.

She is incredible with children, which if you have ever done a family shoot, you know how difficult it can be to get a good photo of everyone. But, Amber can do it!

We have done multiple shoots with Amber, from engagement, pregnancy, newborn and family sessions, and we will always use her in the future.
