ABOUT AUTHOR MADE | ORLANDO, WINTER GARDEN, WINTER PARK, DAYTONA BEACH AND CENTRAL FL AFFORDABLE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
MEET THE TEAM
WE BELIEVE YOU DESERVE AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHY, NO MATTER THE SIZE OR BUDGET OF YOUR WEDDING.
Your love story doesn’t end at “I do.” What comes next is your new life together and all the dreams you share: saving for a down payment on a house, starting a family (or a fur-family), or traveling the world together…NOT paying off wedding debt.
Most couples planning affordable weddings have to choose between the aesthetic, documentary-style photography of their dreams and their wedding budget. And those specifically planning a micro wedding find themselves only able to afford low-quality photography that sacrifices artistry for affordability.
That’s where we step in.
WE HAD A WEDDING UNDER $10K, TOO
MICHAEL KUO, FOUNDER + CREATIVE LEAD
AMY KUO, CO-FOUNDER + BRANDING
Michael is serving as lead photographer on select weddings only in 2025 and beyond.
We’re Michael & Amy, the founders of the Author Made wedding photography & videography studio. 8 years ago, we were planning our own affordable wedding.
We found ourselves in the same position as many of our clients: wanting to save money for our new life together while also beautifully preserving the most important memories of our special day.
Author Made is the intersection of storytelling (Author) and artistry (Made). Every love story needs an author, and our team is dedicated to helping you tell yours—while setting up your financial ever-after to be as happy as possible.
