We had an amazing experience with Amanda! She shot our wedding and made the entire day move seamlessly. She is super organized and was just the right amount of present - there to g...
uide us into some beautiful shots, but never distracting from important moments. We’re both a bit camera shy and Amanda helped to reassure us, pose us when needed, and boost our confidence so we weren’t self conscious about being photographed on the most important day of our lives. She helped us create a timeline for the day which worked beautifully and kept everything leading up to the wedding moving really smoothly. She brought great energy to the getting ready suite and was fun to have around. She has a great eye for fun photo op spots and some of my favorite photos from the day were taken in locations she noticed around our venue that I never would have considered taking photos in. We received our full gallery back (on time!) and are so happy with Amanda’s work. She captured everything I could have asked for and we are so happy with her work. 10/10 would recommend hiring Amanda to photograph your wedding or special event!
Amanda was great. From rhe day i talked to her, I knew i was in great hands. I have some issues last minute and she was about to handle it smoothly. Would highly recommend he.
If I could give Amanda 100 stars, I would. She photographed my proposal, my bachelorette party, and my bridal shower. She also did a baby's first birthday party for a family member...
. We all love Amanda. The photographs come out stunning. She makes us all feel lovely, comfortable, and beautiful. She made sure that we got all of the pictures we wanted and more. She was very professional, easy to work with, creative, and so nice! We want her for all of our events! Do yourself a favor and hire her!
We are so happy with how our photos turned out. We worked with Amanda for both our engagement photos and our courthouse wedding. She is professional, friendly (even helped make our...
baby smile for some great shots), and has a creative eye. We highly recommend Amanda.
Amanda did a great job with our photos and was easy to communicate with throughout the planning process!
I can't thank Amanda enough for stepping in at the last minute to capture one of the most important moments of my life—my proposal! Originally, we had a different photographer book...
ed, but due to an unexpected illness, they couldn’t make it. Thankfully, Amanda was available on short notice and completely saved the day.
From the moment we spoke, she made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was not only professional but also incredibly understanding of how special this moment was for us. Amanda arrived early and made me feel at ease.
The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and she truly exceeded our expectations. She was able to capture the raw emotion and joy of the proposal without interrupting the moment. We will treasure these photos forever.
If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but also easy to work with, I highly recommend Amanda. She made an unexpected situation feel effortless and turned it into a perfect experience!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Amanda and the incredible job she did capturing our daughter’s wedding! From the very first meeting, Amanda was a joy to work with. She ...
made us feel at ease with her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. On the big day, she seamlessly blended into the background while still managing to capture every precious moment—beautiful candid shots, stunning portraits, and everything in between.
Her ability to understand exactly what we wanted, and her creative vision, resulted in photos that are truly breathtaking. We are beyond thrilled with the photos, and we know our daughter will cherish them forever.
Amanda’s positive attitude, flexibility, and overall ease to work with made the whole process so smooth. She truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. We highly recommend Amanda for anyone looking for an exceptional photographer who will not only deliver amazing photos but will also make the entire experience enjoyable.
Thank you again, Amanda, for making this special day even more unforgettable!
Everyone who’s ever proposed to their SO knows that what separates good proposals from amazing proposals is an acute attention to detail. I had a big picture idea of what I wanted ...
to do for my knee drop moment, but there are a lot of implementation considerations that I simply would not have thought of if I had not partnered with Amanda early on in the process (e.g. ideal time of day for lighting, when and how to bring in friends and family, contingency planning for weather). She was able to take my initial brainchild and give me tangible steps to take, which gave me a lot of confidence. Then, the day of, she was incredibly helpful by picking up supplies and taking ownership of one of the setup tasks. The most magical part, which we hadn’t even discussed until the day of, was she captured my fiancée’s initial reaction to the proposal setup in a video, which will go down as an immediate classic. I thought I was hiring a photographer… I didn’t realize I was bringing on a creative partner (and genius)!
Amanda and her team were absolutely amazing, and we loved working with them for our wedding. Right at the start, she was so willing to work us being 3000 miles away, and we were ab...
le to change our engagement shoot to an after-wedding shoot. We felt at ease as two very camera shy people who have no idea how to pose because she was such a professional and expert on poses. We had no issues getting prompt responses and felt very comfortable discussing our concerns and visions for the shoots. Amanda and her team made us comfortable taking photos so quickly, and we actually had fun doing both of our shoots! We got amazing shots back and love every single one of them. She came up with a very thorough list, and we are happy we got shots we did not think of ourselves. We are so lucky we found Amanda!
Amanda was so great, and we're so grateful she was able to capture our engagement photos!! My fiancé hired Amanda for his surprise proposal, and she was so helpful from start (e.g....
, suggesting locations) to finish. She spent such a generous amount of time walking around Central Park with us to find the best backgrounds/lighting, and we absolutely love our photos! Thank you, Amanda!!
Amanda was an absolute joy to work with for our proposal/engagement shoot. She was super accommodating during the planning process including being flexible with timing as the propo...
sal was a surprise for my fiancée. We love how our pictures turned out. Connie was able to capture such beautiful, candid moments during the proposal and Amanda's edits are of the highest quality. Thank you so much to Amanda -- we highly recommend her services!
Simply amazing! Amanda is hands down, the best! My fiancé and I did engagement photos with her and are so, so happy with the entire experience and the BEAUTIFUL photos. Upon meetin...
g Amanda for the photoshoot we both instantly felt comfortable and at ease. Amanda knew how to make photos look natural, fun, and effortless and had an uncanny ability to make us feel reassured that the photos would turn out great. Communication and coordination was also the easiest it could be. We are so grateful to have found Amanda. Do yourself a favor and book photos with her!
Amanda was incredible! From helping to pick the perfect spot for our elopement and making sure we got all of our must have shots, the experience was great. She was easy to work wi...
th and was so flexible when things got changed around day off. Picture turnaround was so fast and the quality exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend!
Amanda was INCREDIBLE for our engagement photo shoot! While planning, she made the effort to visit the venue with me and determine optimal light and a potential plan. She encourage...
d me to make a 'must have' photo list to make sure she captured the most important photos of my partner, me and our family and friends. These moments of preparation helped us have an incredibly smooth proposal photoshoot and photos over our dinner event. Amanda has a natural charm and kindness which made it much more comfortable to feel authentic and have a natural smile and laughter during the photoshoot. The pictures she captured look unposed, well lit, fantastically framed and beautiful. I'm so happy we hired Amanda and will likely hire her again if she's available for the wedding!
My wife hired Amanda to shoot our wedding after we decided to change photographers following our engagement shoot. It was the best decision we could have made - Amanda and her assi...
stant Connie did a spectacular job at capturing our moment and making everyone involved as comfortable as possible. We are recommending Amanda to all of our friends and will absolutely use Amanda for future events.
A friend referred me to Amanda for my proposal planning and photography needs. From the beginning, she was very friendly and quick to respond. She explained her packages (which are...
super reasonably priced). After I told her my vision for the proposal, she gave me tons of recommendations and ideas for the location and the setting. She personally went to the spot multiple times to take a test shot of the spot to ensure I'd like it.
She was very professional and patient with us on the day of the proposal. We were almost an hour late to the spot and she waited without any complaints and was very nice about it. She did not rush to take our pictures and let us appreciate the moment. I recommend her 10/10.
My fiancé hired Amanda to shoot our engagement and it was easily one of the best gifts in the world (aside from the proposal itself)! Amanda handled the shoot with extreme professi...
onalism from pre to post and was a dream to work with. Before the engagement, Amanda took time out of her day to speak with my fiancé and determine all logistics from time, location, etc., ensuring all he had to worry about was getting down on one knee.
After he proposed, Amanda was a dream to work with! She spend so much time with us getting the most perfect shots (even as I was in shock from the proposal)! Amanda captured a ton of different poses and spots and truly made the shoot feel so special.
We received a sampling in less than 24 hours and the full set of photos a week afterwards. The photos are absolutely stunning- posing, editing, quantity could not be more exceptional.
We could not recommend Amanda enough for all of your photo needs! Amanda, thank our making my engagement even more special. We are so lucky to have your photos to look back on each day.
I hired Amanda to shoot our proposal and could not be more happy with how not only the pictures but the experience turned out. She was extremely professional and even in all the ex...
citement after the proposal was able to guide us through the shoot that never felt too forced or awkward. Because of this, the pictures came out fantastic and we are blown away by the quality of editing as well as just the amount of wonderful shots she got. I had also planned a surprise brunch an hour after the proposal and Amanda was very mindful of the time while still providing us a full shoot! Would absolutely recommend using Amanda for all your photography needs!
Amanda took our engagement photos and she was such a joy to work with! She had lots of great setting ideas for the location we chose and tricks to get us comfortable and engaged. S...
he encouragingly guided us through the whole process and even got our stubborn pup to cooperate. The photos all turned out amazing - we had such a hard time picking out our favorites. We loved the experience and can’t recommend her enough!
We love Amanda and her team so much that we booked her for our engagement shoot and quickly booked her for our rehearsal dinner and our wedding. Amanda and her team were the most p...
rofessional, flexible, and fun photographers to work with! When we first met Amanda, she was so accommodating and understanding as we had to change the date for our engagement shoot due to a family emergency. Within the first minutes, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She was professional and friendly from start to finish - our photographs came out so naturally as we effortlessly walked through Central Park! The pictures are worth so much and so beautiful. She got the lighting and background perfect, even in a crowded area like Central Park. We were so impressed that we immediately booked her for our rehearsal dinner and our wedding. During this time, she was so prompt in replying to all of my emails and phone calls. Even after the engagement shoot, we had beautiful photos of sneak peeks within 48 hours of the shoot. She was super responsive, sweet, and genuinely excited about our wedding day! She made the entire process so easy and I felt comfortable and at ease having her there. This was really important to me as I wanted to feel comfortable and surrounded by love during my wedding day instead of being nervous about the camera. Amanda goes above and beyond and even matched the color scheme of our wedding and was proactive in directing positioning during photographs. We received countless compliments from friends and family on how natural Amanda was able to blend into our wedding while capturing all of the important moments. We still get asked about the large prints in our foyer that were all taken by Amanda. She even helped us order and frame the prints afterward! The memory of my wedding is something that will last a lifetime and I can’t thank Amanda enough for capturing all the best moments of one of the most important days of our life. We will never stop recommending Amanda to all of our friends and family and will treasure these photos always.
Amanda shot our wedding photos and they came out exactly as we had hoped! She got shots of the venue, the decorative details and food and drink that set the scene, made sure to tak...
e all the important family pics and totally captured the vibe of us celebrating with our friends. She went above and beyond by fastening my husbands boutonnière and making sure I was holding my bouquet the right way before the ceremony began! Amanda is incredibly nice, professional and of course a great photographer. We just love our wedding photos. Definitely recommend!
My husband and I planned an elopement in Central Park this year, and Amanda was an incredible and pivotal element to our perfect day. Before our special day, she scouted out all of...
the scenic spots within the park to provide us with an array of options, and she was integral to our planning. She and her assistant, Emily, were so sweet and easy to work with, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion in New York City!
Amanda made me feel so comfortable on my wedding day, she wasn’t intrusive, but captured all the special moments so perfectly. She has a special talent for capturing the little det...

Amanda did our engagement photos and since has become our family photographer for all occasions- family pictures, pregnancy announcement, maternity, and newborn! She is amazing wit...
h our very shy dog, too. If she was doing wedding photography in 2018 when I got married I would have LOVED to hire her. Her photos are extremely high quality and she is outstanding to work with- suggests great poses and tips, beautiful scenery, creative ideas, incredibly nice, and you won't believe how beautiful your pictures are.
