Hi, I’m Amanda 

Hudson Valley, NY Wedding Photographer 

I am most fulfilled when I am connected to others, this is why building relationships with my couples is so important to me. I always show up with an open heart so my couples can do the same.

I am a lover of those in between moments and strive to create timeless, joy-filled, nostalgic and personal photos. Photos that capture exactly who you are. The moments we want to remember aren’t the scripted, they are the uncut and raw moments.

I could tell you how many weddings I’ve photographed, when I picked up my first camera and what gear I use, but instead I want to share with you how I feel deeply and love even more deeply. I’m an emotional being who takes the honor of serving others whole-heartedly and with the utmost care. At some point in our lives photos & memories are the only thing we have left and I consider that invaluable.

My approach to wedding days is to ensure that my couples are able to be fully present and soak in every moment of your day. To document your wedding as it unfolds and to be more than your photographer, to be someone who makes you comfortable, help ease any stress, to be someone you can count on and celebrate with. To deliver a wedding gallery that allows you to relive your wedding, to cherish your photos for generations to come, to showcase who you are as a couple while also capturing all your family and friends authentically, for you to be able to feel their emotions through your photos.

What People Are Saying:

"Amanda is truly one of the sweetest humans I've had the pleasure of meeting! From our first call, it felt like we were old friends catching up. Amanda is incredibly professional and personable, and of course her work is absolutely gorgeous. We did an engagement session with Amanda a few months before the wedding which helped us get comfortable with her and allowed us to get to know her better. Aside from that, Amanda frequently checked in to make sure planning was going smoothly and was incredibly responsive when we had questions! On the wedding day, Amanda arrived early and I was so excited to see her and she instantly eased my anxiety. Throughout the day, Amanda calmed my nerves and was so supportive and helpful with anything that we needed! Amanda also made sure that she captured all of the specific shots that we requested and made sure she did not leaving without ensuring that we were happy!”

Love,

Lyndsey & Steven

“Jon and I met Amanda back in 2020 when she was my best friends photographer, she went out of her way at the wedding to take some photos of us there and since then I knew she’d be the one I used for our wedding someday. She did both our engagement photos and wedding, which she was able to accommodate us needing to push our wedding day back a year due to me getting pregnant with our daughter and also talked me through all the anxiety I had with needing to do so. She is one of the kindest souls we have met and she really inspires us with how dedicated she is about her work and you can tell it’s not a job to her, it’s because she enjoys what she does. Amanda is always there when you need her as well not only to be a photographer but as a friend which makes the experience so much better.

We thank you again so much for everything you have done for our little family and keep succeeding in what you do!”

Love,
