About this vendor
My journey with photography began a little before I met my husband at the age of seventeen. I was so inspired by light and creativeness. Yet, I had no idea this aspiration could lead me towards being an entrepreneur or professional wedding photographer. Shortly after we got married, I booked my first wedding at twenty years old. From then on, my heart was hooked on capturing love. I have always had a heart for people, and relationships. Being invited into the lives of the sweetest couples, I am forever grateful. They are the ones that make my world spin.
I have found that it is those little compliments, the raw emotion, the little ‘I love yous’ and the honest moments that make it hard to even imagine loving a job more!
I am so THANKFUL and excited to learn more about you and the love story that brought you here!
Isn’t LOVE INCREDIBLE?!

r our wedding or engagement photos - Amanda did such an amazing job putting him at ease on both occasions that the photos of the two of us look extremely natural. We loved working with Amanda, and were blown away when we got the photos - they are gorgeous! We especially loved the pictures she took of us and our siblings, as well as the candid photos she took during our reception. She did an amazing job capturing so many special moments, and we will treasure the photos. Thank you Amanda!

our wedding! She knocked it out of the park.
She’s got a keen eye for detail and made us very comfortable during our initial engagement shoot. She was friendly, courteous and made sure all of the big moments on our special day was covered. She provided great detail photos and her editing skills were amazing.
Amanda kept us in the loop all the way up to our wedding day and beyond. She was easy to communicate and created a great wedding portfolio for us. We definitely plan on using Amanda again in the future for family photos and capturing lexical occasions. Thank you for being apart of our special day!

much fun. The result of our short time with Amanda is not only a collection of DREAMY photos that we will treasure forever; but also the memories we made laughing, holding hands, and just being ourselves while our love for each other was so organically documented. Can not say enough about this amazing experience!

nt out of her way to try and accommodate our destination wedding. Though our budget could not support a traveling photographer, I am writing here to say that I have no doubt Amanda would have been a great photographer for us! Our entire experience communicating with Amanda was very positive!
Amanda is incredible! I haven’t got to work with her as a client, but I have as a fellow photographer. I think that in many ways, that says even more. Amanda is so talented at find...
ing the perfect time to press the shutter on her camera, as well as finding excellent light and outstanding locations. She doesn’t just “take pictures”, she pours her heart into every image she takes. If you hire Amanda you will find that you become part of her family. Her sole focus is making sure that her clients are incredibly happy. She will go to great lengths to insure that your images are top notch. Her work has been recognized and praised within our peer group, which is why I trusted her as an associate. She is the full package.
When I first saw Amanda’s photography work, I was drawn to the light & airy natural colors in her photos. We hired her for our wedding and scheduled the included engagement session...
. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the results. When we got the photos back, we only liked 20 out of the 116 photos she provided. At each pose, she only took 2-3 shots per pose, so there were not many options to choose from if either myself or my fiancée were not smiling naturally in that shot. When asked, Amanda said that her “style” is to only take a few shots per pose and only provide her favorites. We felt that many of her poses looked awkward in the photos: lots of smiling while looking at the ground and many shots that were too zoomed into our faces. We were also dissatisfied with her attention to detail – shots where my hair was completely covering my face, poses where she should have noticed and fixed wrinkles in suit jackets, and poses that she should have corrected bad posture or an awkward hand or arm placement. Finally, and most importantly in our view, Amanda does not PhotoShop her photos. We were expecting her to soften wrinkles/smile lines or smooth unflattering double chins caused by looking downwards. There was even a photo where a small black bug was flying past my face that could have easily been removed via Photoshop. When speaking to other photographers, they typically allow the bride/groom to select their favorite photos for extra editing – when I asked Amanda, she refused stating that PhotoShop is against her business practice and that she wouldn’t make an exception for us. Amanda charges $450 for an engagement session and we paid $875 for the wedding deposit. As such, given how disappointed we were with the engagement photos and with our wedding being still almost a year away, we asked if she would reimburse us the difference of $425. Amanda refused be accommodating, and was unprofessional in her tone when speaking with both me and my mother. Very frustrated with her unwillingness to compromise and very unhappy with her overall work product, ultimately, we decided to forgo our deposit and find another photographer for our wedding day.
