Amanda Arnold Photography Weddings + Elopements

at specific shots we were looking for, which made the day-of a seamless experience that was organized and efficient. Apart from being a fantastic person, her photos are unique and her artistic style is beautiful! She captured so many candid moments when we didn't even realize she was snapping photos, many of which are our favorite shots. We were planning our wedding from across the country and were not able to do an engagement shoot prior to the wedding with her, and yet she still captured our style and personalities perfectly. We can't recommend Amanda enough!

ns each time. She made us feel comfortable and gave space to be fully ourselves while she captured those moments specific to us. She is amazing at finding raw beauty and was so kind, patient, professional, and affordable throughout a stressful wedding planning time in life! We could not recommend anyone else for your wedding day photographer. We are so honored that we were able to capture Amanda for capturing our love story!

e process. She took beautiful engagement and wedding pictures for us and I can’t wait to use her again!

ses and candid moments. We received sneak peek photos almost immediately, and the rest came soon after. Like many people, I'm not usually happy with the way I look in photos, but I love these, and I'm thrilled to have such beautiful and tangible reminders of our event. I highly recommend Amanda and hope to have the opportunity to work with her again!

nitial phone call that immediately put us at ease, our engagement shoot in the city that felt like hanging out with a new friend, her keen eye for the candid in between moments, the way she directed and posed us (not too little, not too much!), her thoroughness in planning timelines and detail shots for our big day, our first look photos which captured so many cherished emotions, the photos of our friends and family who surrounded us with love, her editing style and quick turn around time…we literally could not have asked for more from her! She truly made our wedding photo dreams come true! After all is said and done, the photos are the proof the magic really happened. It’s so important to choose a photographer you trust to capture that magic and I’m beyond grateful we chose Amanda for the job!

All of the couples/families in her photos look comfortable and genuine. You can hear the laughs and feel the warmth from each photo. Getting to know Amanda throughout the past year- really made for a comfortable experience during both our engagement session and wedding day! Amanda captured everything and more during our wedding day. They way she directs and navigates families, friends and bridal parties was beyond impressive. She spared no detail in all the small details of our day. Amanda’s communication and response time was incredible- our photos are beautiful and we are beyond thankful for each one! We have found our go to photographer for all of life’s momenta that happen from here on out!

ers I had contacted. Upon first meeting at our engagement shoot, she had a broken foot, YET still hobbled around Maymont to get our photos... now that just speaks for itself. Then, our wedding day... our guests were so complimentary of how sweet she was and my family even noted that she was a ninja around the reception (haha). I made a point that I wanted more candids than portraits and wow, did she succeed. I can feel the energy and sentiment in each photo, which brings the memory to life all over. Out of all of our wedding vendors, Amanda is #1. I would hire her for something as simple as a birthday party, just to work with her again. The sweetest and most thoughtful professional I have ever met. Thank you SO much for the precious memories we will have forever! XO

ost perfect wedding gallery. We were amazed by all the photos she was able to capture. The emotion and creative angles...everything was beautifully captured. Our wedding party and guests loved her and we are still receiving positive feedback about her and her work -- She was one of the best vendors we worked with. We would highly recommend Amanda to anyone getting married.

al location recommendations for our shoot that would fit the overall look and feel we were going for. On the day of, she was punctual and made us feel very comfortable during the shoot. We received a sneak peak within a couple of days and the full gallery was delivered quickly. The pictures she captured were stunning and exceeded our expectations!

er our engagement session I knew we would be in good hands for the wedding. Our final photos are above and beyond anything we could have dreamed of. Every photo captured us, our personalities, and the moment so beautifully. Amanda is so kind and genuine, she really makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I had so many family and friends after the wedding telling us how much they loved Amanda, and they are just as blown away by the photos as we are. I can’t thank her enough for capturing the best day of my life.

and they are absolutely stunning. I could not be happier with how they turned out. She is amazing to work with! We met several months prior to our date and discussed a timeline for the day. About a month prior she asked for a list of certain pictures I wanted as well as suggested ideas I had not thought of. She had also assured me that she had backup cameras and memory cards in case of any accidents (not that there were any) but I appreciate how prepared she was just in case! On the day of, she was beyond any expectation I could have had. She was patient when people would stragle for family photos, fun and energetic with everyone, and best of all I did not even notice her when my Husband and I were doing our first look and vows. My husband is extremely camera-shy and was nervous about saying personal vows in front of her. She made sure to be quiet, stay out of his sight and let us have our moment while still capturing it all. She even worked with him to be more comfortable around the camera during our engagement photos as well. We even received a sneak peek of our photos a day or two after the wedding and then the entire album just shy of a month. They turned out absolutely beautiful! She edited out little details like stains on sidewalks all while still keeping the integrity of the photos. There are not enough words I can say about how amazing she is as a photographer but also as a person! Absolutely loved her and highly recommend!

unexpectedly stormed on our wedding day, right before we were supposed to have our first look, and Amanda rolled with the punches to take our photos outside in the rain under umbrellas. My husband and I don't take many photos ourselves and are pretty camera-shy, but Amanda helped put us at ease and helped us enjoy ourselves, despite the unfortunate weather. She sent us a sneak peak of our album at 9:30am the day after our wedding, which we weren't expecting, and then sent us our full wedding album just a couple weeks later. We are thrilled with the way the photos turned out--they are not only beautiful, but we feel like they captured our relationship and personalities perfectly. We could not recommend Amanda highly enough!!

ly started with. Our package included an amazing engagement shoot. What I liked most is that I gave her an idea of what I liked and she ran with it. I told her where I wanted the photos taken and she found the best spots for lighting and great pics even when it was 90 degrees. She (sadly) had to put up with my family and all their unnecessary requests for pictures. She also worked with me when I said I didn't want to take anymore pictures after the ceremony even though that was in the schedule I created. It was easy working with someone who was kind, fun, flexible and detail oriented. I hope to have another opportunity to use Amanda again.

t have changed a thing!

l day. She helped us create a timeline that was stress-free and ensured we felt comfortable from the planning process to capturing such serene photos for our engagement and wedding! We love how our photos have turned out - there’s something so magical about the way Amanda captures our love in a perfect blend of color and B+W photos. We enjoyed getting to know Amanda and are so happy to have chosen her to witness our cherished moments! The Elliotts

s of your most special day!

manda through the preferred vendors list from our venue and immediately fell in love with her photos and photography style through her Instagram. I loved how natural all of the couples looked in her photos and the candid joy she captured. Amanda’s communication was extremely responsive and thorough from the first email. She took the time to talk to me on the phone in order to fully explain her package options and what would work best for our wedding. She answered all of my questions and was extremely flexible and accommodating. She offered a lot of insight and recommendations for my wedding timeline and helped make the wedding day run smoothly. From the first phone call, to our engagement shoot, to the wedding day itself, Amanda made us feel extremely comfortable and supported. Neither one of us feel super comfortable in front of a camera, but Amanda made us feel at ease and was able to truly capture our personalities and joy of being together! Amanda was absolutely wonderful all throughout the wedding. We got all of the pictures we wanted, kept to our timeline, and she made the entire process comfortable and easy. Our families loved her and she truly made everyone look their best. Amanda delivered a sneak peek gallery for us the same weekend, which was truly incredible! She also delivered our full gallery within 1 month, during an incredibly busy wedding season. The pictures exceeded our wildest expectations. We laughed, cried, and were able to totally relive our day through the pictures. All of our family and friends are absolutely blown away by the quality of the pictures. I know we will treasure all of these photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you Amanda Arnold Photography!

ed and responsive through every step. We especially appreciated her care for details. She ensured our individual styles and efforts shined through, and our personalities were reflected perfectly in her work. As she readily admits, Amanda takes a candid, story-telling approach to wedding photography. She values the unplanned, intimate, and sometimes hilarious moments that are often overlooked with a rigid shot list. If you (like us) prefer a relaxed atmosphere, free from high-pressure timelines and endless posing, adjustments, and forced smiles, Amanda is the perfect choice for your special day.

onal, prompt to reply, and delivered the most amazing photos. She was a joy to have around on our special day, and really has a true passion for what she does. She found the best areas on the fly that would be great for photo moments throughout the day. I really feel like she captured the emotion we felt on our big day. She also put so much love and care into the images- she retouches them with a true eye for detail that made them all keepsake-worthy. I personally work with photos as part of my career and consider myself pretty particular, and I couldn't be happier. We will truly treasure these forever!

made the decision to go with Amanda Arnold. She was always responsive and her presence was perfect - she was comfortable and attentive and provided a calm, steady attitude on the big day. Further, we LOVE our photographs. They feel like a beautiful gift we’ve been given to relive our wedding day for years to come. Amanda captured so many special moments and beautiful lighting. I can tell her editing is meticulous and so professional. We would not pick any other photographer. She is the best!

big awkward weirdos, terrible at posing for photos, rarely take any of ourselves. We’ve got no love for the spotlight. But, hey, this is a wedding! Got to take your picture, OK? Amanda made it painless. And not only painless—she made us look as good as we’ve ever caught ourselves looking in the mirror. Golden light through the hair, twinkle in the eye, and whatnot. I’m sitting here with a photo of myself now, and, my God, I look like an angel. Aside from being a very talented photographer, with a keen eye and stellar instincts, she’s also kind, and unfailingly amiable. We were so scattered on the day of the wedding that, after the first look, as my wife and her ladies were climbing into their ride to the venue, I realized I hadn't planned a way to get myself to the venue (the ladies’ ride was full, and no boys allowed anyway). I was about to be late to my own wedding, but lo and behold: Amanda, you’ve done it again. She gave me a lift. What a pro. Can’t recommend her highly enough.

nxious. Whenever I had questions or needed suggestions she was always very helpful and quick to respond. Her photography style is so easy to love as well as her personality. I will cherish every single photo she captured of our special day. I could of not ask for a better photographer!

are beautiful and something we will treasure forever. She also did our engagement photos and that was such a fun relaxed time and we love those photos too.

much. And the pictures could not have been more beautiful. We were so grateful to have found her! Amanda is so kind and so awesome to work with - would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

ything I needed to feel confident and excited for my big day! The engagement session photos and wedding photos she send me in my personal gallery were so gorgeous I was looking at them for hours! Her editing is beautiful and makes colors look so rich and vibrant! My wedding was at night and the way she made the candles and bistro lights look so romantic amazed me. I can’t say enough about her work, she’s perfection!!!

very responsive, and is just a fun person to spend time with. She was very accommodating and patient with our questions, timeline changes, and then more follow up questions. Amanda has a true talent in capturing special moments. We will cherish our photos in the years to come.

My husband and I have been thrilled with all of our photos from her! Our families and bridal party were very happy to work with her and raved about her professionalism and the creativity she brought to our photos. You can tell Amanda really has a passion for photography and she goes above and beyond to get the perfect shots! I’m also a huge fan of how she edits her photos as well as how she delivers the final photos. I am so happy to have a huge selection of beautiful photographs to relive some of the best moments from my wedding day. I highly recommend hiring Amanda for any event you need photographed, she will not disappoint!

nal and expertly corralled everyone to get some amazing shots of all of us as well as just me and my husband. From the engagement shoot to editing the photos, I could not have asked for a more punctual, more enthusiastic, better photographer. I recommend her to everyone I know who is getting married soon.

she’d be the perfect photographer for us, and I couldn’t have been more right. We had to move our wedding due to COVID, and Amanda was very helpful and accommodating in getting a new date for our wedding. She’s fun, professional and made us feel SO comfortable during our engagement session and wedding. She always had great ideas for photos while also allowing us to try some of our own. We got sneak peek photos from both our engagement session and wedding the very next morning, which was a huge surprise. We loved all our photos and have received a lot of compliments from our family and friends. She captured so many special moments that we will cherish forever, and her editing style and ability to capture people’s emotions is truly breathtaking. We couldn’t recommend her enough!

etc. With our 2020 wedding looking much different then originally planned Amanda was always calm, kind, and available when needed. Can’t wait to find any and every other reason to hire Amanda in the future. Until then I’ll just keep gushing over our stunning wedding and engagement photos.

out the whole process! You can tell she is really passionate about what she does and the proof definitely shines through in the pictures. We got our sneak peeks back the morning after our wedding and we are already obsessed!

lies. She guided us through poses and good spots for photos on location, and also gave us freedom to come up with our own ideas too. Her sneak peak pics came back within hours of the wedding ending too - such a fun (and beautifully done!) surprise the next day! We loved having Amanda join us and capture our wedding day, and I know you would too!

ped in with taking pictures of my dress and accessories. I felt super comfortable around her and she offered great tips once we started taking individual photos. Even though we took a lot of pics with family, she had it covered and kept us moving to keep on time. I’ve just gotten some sneak peek photos and I can already tell the rest are going to be beautiful!

us but Amanda made the whole process very natural and let us do what we were comfortable with. The pictures are beautiful and we have so many framesld around our house. Her pricing is fair and her talent is evident in all her work. Hire her!

, out of the several I messaged, Amanda was the ONLY one who messaged back like I was a friend: asking how my fiancé proposed and asking other questions about the engagement. That meant alot to me, as I was hesitant to message random people online to be a crucial part of such a big, life-altering event in my life. On top of this reason, her pricing packages and what are included in them are much more reasonable than all the other packages from the other photographers. We met in person for our engagement session a few months later and we had an absolute blast! She has such a wonderful, bright, bubbly, fun personality, perfect for what I would look for in a photographer. When we got the engagement pictures back, I was absolutely BLOWN away. She captured some truly amazing moments, and her editing is just incredible! She got some really wonderful candid shots and she was able to portray just how happy Jason and I truly are together. And, of course, I was just as pleased on the day of the wedding! She was punctual, efficient, captured all of the details, and got any\all shots we wanted. She was patient with me as I stressfully handled getting the photos we needed with our families, and she got beautiful pictures of my family and bridal party. BOOK AMANDA!! You will NOT be sorry.

nd hiring her for your own wedding!

the dates, but best of all making the big day stress free! My guests have been raving about how she was everywhere capturing our day! She even braved the cold! She got us sneak peeks that were GORGEOUS the next day! She was perfect for us!!!!♡

tographers that I hire and Amanda is definitely one of the best, hands down. Her shooting and editing style captures the true emotions of the moment and we love it. We're so happy with the images she took that I will look back on for the rest of my life. W hope to work with her again in the future

for your most important day!

r than expected and every picture was better than the next. We are so so happy and have received so many compliments on the photography.

me to understand exactly what I wanted, and I was not disappointed! Amanda is so sweet and she made us feel comfortable while taking pictures. She made the whole process relaxing and fun! I love that Amanda cared about getting candid shots of us and that our personalities came through in the photos. We got so many pictures back and we love them all! I would recommend her to everyone!

our wedding despite it being the last weekend in September, but that didn't faze Amanda in the slightest! Make sure you book her early, because I'm sure she'll be filling up fast!

ere so happy with our choice! Amanda was professional, prompt, and courteous in her dealings with us before the wedding, and a joy to work with on the wedding day! She was willing to listen to our ideas and work within our time frame, but she was ready with ideas of her own also. She was peaceful and cheerful and helped make the day run smoothly. The engagement photos are fun and unique, and the wedding photos are a treasure! I highly recommend Amanda Arnold Photography.

ment shoot and listened to all the different aspects we were hoping to capture during our time together. When we felt unsure of what to do, Amanda quickly stepped in with ideas and jokes. She returned our photos in a timely manner and made communication easy leading up to and after our session. We are so excited to have her capture the most important day of our lives this fall!

y myself but Amanda was incredibly calm and understanding with all the chaos. My wedding party was also a bunch of crazies and she took it all in and caught every perfect moment. She also made myself and husband feel very comfortable! I am very picky about everything and I new right away I wanted Amanda because I fell in love with her pictures. I would 1 million percent recommend her!!
