Amanda is so extremely talented at what she does. She is so kind and will capture such special moments for you! Amanda was super accommodating and truly open to shooting all of the...
different milestones that I requested at multiple different locations. This included engagement photos at my house, bridal portraits at a venue she helped me pick, and of course the wedding day. I should also mention that she will be there for your big day RAIN OR SHINE! Mother Nature dumped about 5 inches onto us on the wedding day and Amanda was there capturing it all with a smile on her face. I cannot emphasize enough how truly grateful and happy we are to have hired Amanda to be our photographer! We look forward to hopefully rebooking her for other big life events in the future. Her online portfolio should speak for itself to showcase her talents but if you are at all indecisive and reading reviews to help sway the decision, I can assure you that Amanda is an incredible choice. We are so happy with our photos and will be able to cherish them forever. One last thing to mention, the albums she offers are such high quality and amazing. We purchased one for ourselves and (2) copies for our parents. We all love them dearly and get compliments constantly.
Amanda was wonderful to work with! She even worked well with people who don't like being photographed (such as me, the bride)! She and her assistant took lots and lots and LOTS o...
f photos, and she worked quickly to get us a highlight reel (of almost 600 photos!) so that we didn't have to wait for her to process ALL of the pictures before having something to show. Highly recommend!
Amanda was absolutely wonderful to work with for our March wedding! I found her personable, easy to communicate with and very responsive. I love her photography style, and she was ...
able to embrace my vision and create a combination of both! Amanda also took the time to research and visit my venue and use it as a stunning backdrop in all our photos. Personally, my favorite photographs were the more candid ones – Amanda completely captured our personalities and everyone having a good time! My husband's favorite photo of me was when I was getting ready, she caught my eyes looking over my shoulder perfectly - just beautiful! Overall, she did an excellent job telling our wedding story through her photos and I would highly recommend Amanda as your wedding photographer!
Amanda was great as our wedding photographer. It’s always a hard decision to make when you don’t really know people you are looking to hire, especially for your wedding. The expe...
rience Amanda offered and information from her website made us reach out. After the first couple of conversations we knew Amanda was the right choice. Her style and technique really went well with the types of photos we wanted to capture these precious memories. She really let us feel like we could do what we wanted for our pictures, but her guidance and professionalism really made it so easy and turn out perfectly. She made everyone feel comfortable when the day can already be so hectic. She was great at communication through the entire process, made sure to send us some pictures right away to review. With our wedding in November and close to the holidays she wanted to make sure we had some photos for us and our families to see. She even hand delivered our finished album since we are locals. I would really recommend Amanda to photograph any occasion.
Amanda was absolutely amazing. She totally respected that we didn't want a bunch of staged photos and captured our special day perfectly!
Amanda was such a joy to work with, and the photos we got from our engagement shoot and wedding day are outstanding. She was very easy to work with, detail oriented, and managed to...
get us out of our comfort zone so we could have the best photos! We hired a second shooter for our wedding day and could not be happier with the mix of formal and candid shots we have to remember the day by - enough to fill multiple albums! Amanda is the best in every way, and is the perfect photographer for your wedding day.
Amanda did a great job with the photography for our wedding in Harrisonburg this past August. The photos turned out beautifully and really captured the moments and portraits that w...
ere important to us, as well as the general atmosphere of our wedding and the guests. We were amazed at the sheer number of photos too. Amanda was our sole photographer but somehow she was really everywhere!
Amanda was extremely professional--she determined our personal priorities through a pre-event questionnaire and interview--but she also was delightfully lighthearted and approachable on our wedding day.
Amanda was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She took the time to get to know us and understand what we wanted (a photojournalistic style), then delivered som...
ething even better than what we were hoping for.
She was professional, punctual, and organized through every step of the process, which helped us feel really confident and relaxed going into the wedding.
She is extremely thoughtful about how to navigate family relationships and dynamics during the photography process, and was fantastic at making everyone involved comfortable (which really showed in the photos!). All the kids at our wedding loved her, which resulted in sweet and memorable shots.
Amanda dealt expertly with the big rainstorm on the wedding day by figuring out the right spots to take outdoor photos where we would be out of the rain, providing her own very nice clear umbrellas that photographed well, and being super efficient with all the family photos. In the end, it felt like a bonus that it rained, because the lighting was so beautiful.
She had a very detailed plan for our photos but then did a lot of really creative and fast improvising to capture beautiful, unplanned moments.
Amanda went above and beyond. She walked backwards for half a mile in the rain at night to capture our walk home with our friends, which blew us away.
I will be recommending Amanda to every person I know who gets engaged. Anyone who gets to work with her will be so glad they did and can feel relaxed going into their wedding knowing that they don’t have to be everywhere at once, but Amanda will be.
Thank you so much, Amanda!
Amanda recently shot my wedding at the Charlottesville courthouse. We just got the photos from her and they are wonderful. She does fantastic work and was completely professional...
in every way. I recommend Amanda very highly.
Amanda is great! Very professional and she got some awesome shots at our wedding. All my pictures are great!
Amanda is amazing. She has such a good eye for those quick moments. She was previously paparazzi and I love that! I think it helps her to catch those moments that happen in seconds...
that others don't see. I am in love with our pictures. She is so sweet as well. Would definitely recommend her!
My husband Craig & I could not have asked for a kinder, friendlier, more talented photographer than Amanda Maglione!! We had the pleasure of working with Amanda THREE TIMES... fir...
st for our engagement shoot, then our intimate marriage ceremony with just our parents in 2020 (damn covid canceled the larger wedding), and lastly in June of this year when we FINALLY got to hold the wedding celebration of our dreams! Amanda was there for it all, and captured stunning images of Craig & I and all of our loved ones. Amanda took many traditional wedding photos that we asked for (portraits and posed family photos), but also so many unique shots and angles that when we looked at the final photo gallery, it took our breath away! Now for the incredibly difficult task of narrowing down so many gorgeous photos for the album, haha. Thank you Amanda from the bottom of our hearts!!
Amanda was great too work with! Understanding, patient, flexible as we worked our wedding planning and the needs for the photographer. The pictures she took were amazing quality,...
so many to choose from for printing to remember our special day!
We worked with Amanda for our engagement (September, 2019) and wedding (September, 2020) photos, and every one of our expectations were blown away. She crawled the edge of Raven's ...
Roost Overlook to capture our dreamy mountainside engagement shots, which we loved so much that we used them for our save-the-dates, website, and wedding decor. She walked the venue with us in advance and listened to the special moments that we wanted captured throughout the evening. Then... the pandemic started. Wedding planning during quarantine and adjusting to shifting safety regulations and protocols on a weekly basis was an experience like no other. Amanda stuck by our side throughout the entire experience, offering ideas and suggestions along the way, and showed up for us on our wedding day ready to pivot and adjust in whatever way necessary to help us have a safe and beautiful wedding experience. When we received our photos, we were absolutely enthralled by how accurately Amanda was able to capture, not only the events of our wedding, but SO much of our personalities and our families' and friends' personalities as well. My husband and I had an absolute blast on our wedding day, and we cherish the memories that Amanda was able to capture for us.
Amanda was a pleasure to work with and her photos are absolutely beautiful!! She is a master of both portraits and group photos and the dancing/in-action party shots. I can't recom...
mend her more highly.
We hired Amanda Maglione for my 50th birthday party and a surprise wedding vow renewal for our guests. We had 110 guests and she managed to capture everyone. She knew exactly whe...
re to stage beautiful family photos before the party and capture the perfect light at that time of day. All the candid photos were amazing especially from the dance floor!! Amanda is an extremely skilled photography and so easy to work with. I highly recommend her!!! I definitely plan to use her again as her photos bring me such joy!
My wife and I had a covid wrench thrown in our original plans (July 2020), and Amanda was incredibly accommodating (plenty of other vendors were not). We ended up with a much redu...
ced celebration the following year, where we still got to dress up, and got some amazing pictures (we're good looking, but not as good looking as we look in those photos). Amanda also did a great job managing our parents for the photos, which is no small task, and even helped us out finding a great spot for the photos.
Oh my god! Amanda was phenomenal! From the get go, she patiently and clearly answered all of our questions. And then for the photos! She captured the love between my husband and I....
I love looking back at our photos. As for pricing she is very reasonable and offers great packages. I highly recommend Amanda Maglione Photography for any event.
Amanda was wonderful to work with - attentive, thoughtful and talented! She made everyone feel comfortable and helped navigate the photo sessions with all our family members. Mos...
