“Our experience with Amanda was beyond anything we could have imagined and more. It was clear from the get go that Amanda is passionate about the work she does and aims to build meaningful relationships with all her clients. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable with the entire process, going through an outline of the entire day, all the photos we planned to take and exact times for each. On the day of, she (along with her wonderful second shooter) showed her expertise by taking command and keeping everything organized, while working seamlessly with our other vendors. She came prepared with fun ideas and poses for photos and just generally put everyone at ease. We received our sneak peeks back from the wedding so quickly and we’re in love with everything we have seen thus far. If you want a photographer that is caring, detail oriented and just generally awesome to be around on your special day, give Amanda an opportunity. We can’t recommend her enough.”

Client Love Note:
I had known for a long time, well before I got engaged, that I needed Amanda as our wedding photographer. So naturally it took me all of a week after getting engaged to reach out to Amanda - she was the first vendor we ever booked. And let’s be honest, if Amanda didn’t have our date available I would have moved it just to ensure we had her for our big day. I was drawn to her stunning photos, her ability to capture so much love and authenticity instead of staged photos. Little did I know we were about to become life long friends. Our first FaceTime call was effortless; we felt as if we had known Amanda for years and hadn’t met an hour prior. Every interaction - every phone call, email, text or in person - was easy and fun. My husband tends to tense up in front of a camera and Amanda quickly brought him out of his shell. Our family photos, our engagement photos and our sneak peek photos are the most pure, loving, beautiful photos I’ve ever seen! It was a true honor getting to spend our wedding day all together. We cried together. We laughed together. She cheered us on like she watched our love unfold from the start. She’s part of our family now, she’s with us through all the seasons of life and it is such a joy to know her. She has a pure, genuine soul and it reflects in everything she does. I don’t think we’ll ever be able to thank her enough for the happiness she’s given us both as a friend and as a wedding photographer! Please do yourself a favor and look no further - you’ve found your perfect match for wedding photos!!!
