Al Gawlik Photography

Amy’s work blows me away every time! It’s amazing the moments she is able to capture… making a candid moment look like it was planned for perfection!

Amy did it again. But better.
This time she came close to sunset time, and snapped her amazing sunset photos which I feel are her best photos. I think she has control of the sun, or something. It’s the only logical explanation.
We also did other photos not involving the sun, and those were nothing short of amazing also. She really knows how to use the surroundings, what would be good for foreground, background, etc.
Anyway, if you are on the fence about photographers, don’t think about it anymore. Just call her. You won’t be disappointed!

I couldn’t of asked for a better photographer! I highly recommend Al Gawlik Photography.

Amy was amazing! She really captured our family. Not only did she take amazing photos, but she was like a wedding planner. She made sure everything went smoothly and everyone was where they should be. If you are getting married at Chapel Dulcinea, Amy is an absolute must. She knows all the ins and outs of how the Chapel works and where to get great shots. We will definitely have Amy photograph our family again!

My love for Amy Gawlik runs deep — really deep. Amy is a blessing. She is single handedly the biggest reason why my wedding/​renewal was such an overwhelming success and a big fat party. It’s one thing for someone to take breath taking photos (which she does) but the way Amy handles herself — with complete poise, grace and precision, it goes without saying she did and is continuing to do incredible work. Her photos are timeless and so is she. Her effortlessness on how she manages to go through the ebb and flow of capturing a photo is art on film and in motion. Her style is inimitable, her work ethic is unmatched, and she is completely selfless. She delivers photos within days of your session, (she is relentless). Her passion behind the lens and in life is completely contagious. Her light and joyfulness inspires everyone around her, gah, I want to be her. I owe her so much because she captured everything, every detail, emotion and thought on film, the true essence between you and your loved one. Not only that, she led me to my extraordinary videographer, dj, baker, desserts table, and bridal designer. I couldn’t limit to just the wedding so I had her photograph my engagements and bridals. The pictures and experience were all equally magical. It is such an important and beautiful moment in your life, I have to emphasize how much she is there right behind you to make you feel like you and your moment are all that matters. Your pictures will last a lifetime — believe me, you want this beauty to be a part of your day/​life. You don’t get just a photographer; you get a great friend for life. I can’t praise her and her work enough. She is one of a kind.

I can’t even remember a time before Amy photographed our family. She is a phenomenal human. Completely selfless and truly makes the world a better place, not only with her amazing gift and the beautiful art she creates, but also with her selfless acts of kindness and her perpetual pursuit of all things lovely and compassionate and kind. Brilliant photographer. Impeccable taste. Beautiful spirit. She is able to capture the essence of our family with her lens. I love the way she captures light and emotions and everyone’s best angle. She sees beauty– and makes everyone beautiful on her photographs.

Excellent photographs. Great, professional interactions between Amy and wedding guests. Superb.

Amy taught a workshop I attended last fall at Pecan Springs Ranch. She is always so helpful and her willingness to teach and help people grow is incredible. I am continuously blown away by her work! Anyone would be extremely blessed to have her as their photographer.

Amy deserves 6 out of 5 stars, She is absolutely amazing and I feel so fortune to have met her on the upswing of her career. We hired Amy to shoot our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I so glad we did, Amy was one of the best parts of my wedding. Even though she was non-​stop working, she is so personable and delightful all my friends and family committed about how nice she was to work with.
As a bride you have a lot of personal emotional things going on with your groom, friends and parents and you want to have someone who feels like your friend along the way. And beyond that I didn’t have a wedding coordinator, so I asked her a lot of basic questions and advice and she just became part of my team supporting me to make it happen.
Our pictures turned out immaculate, my mom says its like watching a beautiful movie. Every single shot was complimentary and warm to who we were as a couple.
Now I’m just trying to find new future reasons to use Amy again.
If anyone wants further info or pictures let me know.

Amy shot our engagement photos as well as our wedding! I could never have imagined we would get such moving photos. She really goes above and beyond and captures the most beautiful moments. I love her calm and easy-​going demeanor. It’s very soothing if you’re feeling at all uncomfortable in front of the camera. My favorite thing is that she’ll pose you this way and that so all you really have to do is show up looking nice, and she’ll make you look like a professional! I thought I’d feel awkward, but it’s really fun! She’s also very timely with getting photos back to you, which is so nice because I was so eager to see how they had turned out! Al Gawlik Photography is such a joy to work with and the end result is SO beautiful. I’m so grateful to have met Amy! I get compliments after compliments on all of our photos! As some others have mentioned, she also has two other sister businesses, Gypsy Pearl Studio and Betty Blue Boudoir. I haven’t expanded my clan enough yet to use Gypsy Pearl, but I recently enjoyed the Betty Blue services and as expected was WOWed with the photos! Amy’s so talented and really has an eye for soft and beautiful photos. I can’t recommend using any and all of her services enough!

I am a photographer myself and am very much obsessed with photographs. When it came down to locating a photographer to do my engagement shoot I was VERY picky. I searched through at least 30 in the Austin area and Amy was my number one choice. Her style is absolutely stunning and she is by far one of the most talented photographers I know. We had our pictures taken YESTERDAY and she has already sent me the link with the pictures. A turn around that quick is hardly ever found.
She made my fiancé and I feel very comfortable and was so easy to get along with. When I saw the sneak peaks I literally cried. Not only was she quick with the turn around but she also edited ALL of the 310 photo’s she sent me, most photographers only edit a certain amount. I have dreamed about what our engagement pictures would look like and Amy went above and beyond that standard. You can tell she is passionate about her work and she is worth EVERY penny if not more. I will mention that I spoke with at least 5 photographers and her rate was the lowest, but even if hers was the highest I still would have used her. She booked our session in less than week when most photographers would have said it would be weeks before we could have a session. If we were not having a destination wedding I would definitely use her for my wedding photographer. I HIGHLY recommend her. Check out her Facebook and her blog and I promise you will not be disappointed.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AMY! :)

I was very, very picky about choosing a photographer for my wedding because I felt that the photos were the most important part. I searched for a long time before I found someone who had the style that I was looking for: real, romantic and magazine-​worthy!
Amy did a phenomenal job and she is also just a cool person to hang around with, which is also important. We just got our wedding photos back and they are so romantic and perfect. She was able to capture that bridal ‘glow’ and all the important moments from the wedding (not to mention the amazing bridal portraits and engagement photos!).
Of all the vendors used at a wedding, the photographer is the one you spend the most time with, and the one who captures the day so you can remember it forever. With Amy’s photos, we’ll be able to relive the best day of our lives any time we want in the most beautiful way! We would definitely recommend AL Gawlik Photography and plan to continue to use her in the future!

We hired Amy for our wedding and couldn’t be any happier!
Half the challenge of photographing a wedding is simply handling the wedding party and family. Amy and her assistant put everyone at ease and was incredibly professional. Shooting the pictures was a breeze and they came out great! While her photos are stylized, they’re classic and not overly trendy.
Overall great person and great photographer!

I hired Amy and her assistant for my wedding in Nov. Overall, I was pretty happy with her services. Most of the photos came out pretty good. The only complaint I have is, that there are really not any good shots of me and my husband by ourselves. Kind of a bummer, yeah I know. The pics of me and other people are good…
