“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.”
COME EXACTLY AS YOU ARE!
If you are looking for something more than a customer/vendor transaction, wanting to build a relationship with your photographer who is fully invested in you, your wedding day and making you feel safe, heard and seen, you’ve come to the right place.
I work best with couples who want to be fully present on their wedding day. Who perhaps want to reject traditions and feel supported with their decisions. That are looking for a wedding gallery that invokes emotion and is full of moments that unfolded naturally throughout your wedding, the perfectly imperfect.
Who am I and why should you want me to be apart of your wedding day?
My name is Amanda, I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in the Hudson Valley, NY.
I am known for my wam, authentic and documentary style images and the way I cheer my couples on like we’ve known each other for years.
I believe my mission in life is to serve others and cheer them on and what better way to serve others than to document your wedding day exactly how it unfolds. My top priority is to build a strong relationship with all my couples as I am never just another vendor who shows up on your BIG day.
My couples will tell you that I am your biggest cheerleader, I bring the energy and provide you with tangible evidence of your love through raw, nostalgic, timeless and joy-filled photographs. My hope is these photographs will fill your home and serve as a reminder of the love you have for one another.
I am an Enneagram 7- The Cheerleader. Speciality: Hyping you up

The Blog (Coming Soon):
Mike & Letrecia’s microWedding
When Mike first reached out to me to document his and Letrecia’s intimate wedding to say I was stoked would be an understatement. There is something so special about an intimate wedding that I just adore. We started the day with Letrecia getting in her beautiful wedding dress and they said their “I do’s” at their church. We then met at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY to get some of the most beautiful couple portraits near the Hudson River. Not only did these two light up the night with their huge smiles and tight hugs, they also were so very content with being with each other and celebrating their love and marriage.
Qui & Noah’s Wedding Day
Turning Stone Resort in Verona, NY.
Qui and Noah celebrated their wedding day with all their family and friends on the most beautiful July day. They started their morning reading letters that they had written to each other, followed by the most beautiful first look under a huge willow tree. They were blessed not only because these two said “I do” but also with the most beautiful sunset to end their evening with. They were so hyped to go out and spend some alone time together during their reception and be able to get these amazing photos.
