Amanda Gilley Photography

o and made the day extra special. Amanda took charge and that her calm demeanor and assertiveness was absolutely perfect. During the reception she were always right in the mix right until the end of the night. I cannot wait to see all the pictures- but if our engagement pictures are any indication, then they will be beautiful!

at she looked like very well haha. Amanda's pictures showed the best version of her ever. I also was impressed by how they were able to capture their love so well. I couldn't stop looking at the pictures.. and they weren't even of me! I basically picked Amanda for our engagement pictures before I was even engaged! When I became engaged I immediately contacted her. i was surprised to find that she would not only be able to do my local DC engagement pictures, but she would also travel 3 hours away for my actual wedding in PA without travel fees!! I set up a time to meet with her and fell in LOVE. She is the sweetest, kindest person ever (I mean she was in the Peace Corps). We immediately hit it off and she threw in deals without me even asking. Amanda killed it on our engagement photos (even the ones that she had to edit out tons of halloween decorations from). She traveled 3 hours away to see my venue and find spots for great photos months before the wedding. I was planning a very big wedding with many variables and I can say that she was the one constant that I knew (especially after seeing her amazing engagement pictures) would show up and do an amazing job. Hearing from her the night before my wedding completely put my stressed out self to ease knowing she would be there and would be so great. The day of...there was no stronger asset than Amanda. She is a tiny person with a soft voice but she commanded my group of 20 in the bridal party better than anyone. She rolled with my late schedule and was absolutely so much fun to be with. She went so far above and beyond its almost impossible to describe. I mean she even helped blow up ridiculous balloons that I wanted and helped bustle my dress when my bridesmaids forgot how to. This doesn't let me write enough to describe how amazing she is!!! My whole bridal party, parents, and all of the guests absolutely love Amanda now! I am so grateful for having met Amanda and think we will be friends for life!!!

accommodating. Our wedding and engagement photos were in Baltimore, MD, about an hour drive from where she lives. She was flexible with her schedule and stayed beyond the allotted time capturing photos all afternoon for our engagement shoot and again, stayed an hour late at our wedding! She even met us a couple months before our wedding to scout out spots for our wedding day "first look" and bridal party photos. She was quick and responsive. She was easy to be around and she fit right in. Our guests loved her, commenting on how wonderful she was - I'm not sure how many wedding guests compliment the photographer BEFORE they've seen the photos?? The photos themselves are beautiful. She is a natural talent and a pleasure to work with. There are not enough superlatives to do her justice! I would hire her again in a heart beat.

tive when it comes to photo ops. I love the fact that she doesn’t make all of your pictures posed like most photographers. Five stars really does not do her justice. She’s very prompt, personable, and professional not to mention that she does more than just bridal photos and she will travel. I loved working with her and will definitely be using her for any photos in the future! If you are looking for an amazing and talented photographer for your engagement, wedding, maternity, family, pets or whatever, Amanda is hands-down the best!

ography is amazing, she did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. All of our friends and family have been complimenting what amazing photos she took at the wedding. She captured moments we didn't even see and it has been fantastic to go through and see them! I definitely recommend working with Amanda, she is a fantastic person and professional!! You will not worry about this service for one minute after hiring her!

wedding reception, we couldn't have been more pleased. We found her to be very laid back which created for a combination of pictures that she had us pose for, that she naturally captured and that we asked her to incorporate. Amanda was awesome...you won't be disappointed if you choose her as your photographer for any occasion!!
