Amanda Nichols Photography

Words cannot describe how happy we were to work with Amanda and her assistant for our wedding. Our wedding happened at my mom's farm in upstate New York, and we had about 140 people attending. Stress levels were high, but I kid you not, when Amanda showed up I truly felt calmer. We had never met before, and only had shared a lovely conversation on the phone but she just immediately put all of us at ease. And then we got our photographs....oh my goodness. She captured the day so beautifully. Wedding fly by, especially when you're the one getting married, and so looking back at the photos was truly like reliving the day in the best way possible. Every photograph was so special and will forever be cherished! Plus, my mom's farm was so wonderfully captured as well. My husband and I are so happy to have worked with Amanda. You will surely be so satisfied if you hire her.

We chose Amanda to photograph our wedding and could not be happier with the decision. During the planning process, as soon as we came across Amanda’s work, we looked no further and immediately reached out to talk with her. She first worked with us for our engagement session and we were blown away with the photos! But these were just the beginning because when we got our wedding photos, we just couldn’t stop admiring them. Amanda is so talented and sees the world in a really unique way. She acted professionally but also made the effort to learn the names of our bridal party and family members. She and Erin put everyone at ease because they had everything under control all day long. We will always cherish our wedding photos! And we look forward to working with Amanda again in the future!

We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Amanda. Working with Amanda felt like hanging out with a friend--a super talented, incredibly positive friend--instead of a vendor. Despite truly disgusting wedding weather, she didn’t let the cold or rain dampen her spirits, keeping the wedding party upbeat and turning the drizzle into an asset of the photos, not a setback. (“Kissing under an umbrella is dreamy!” she insisted. She was right.) Amanda managed to make even the stodgiest of traditional wedding photos unique and beautiful by scouting perfect locations around the venue and moving through the staged combos at a brisk yet effective pace. The entire family will be forever grateful to Amanda for capturing the necessary shots in a blissfully short amount of time (click, click, click, “Got it! Next!” were heaven to our ears). She fit in seamlessly with the bridal party, putting everyone at ease and drawing out the best from us. She was even great with our notoriously difficult to photograph mutts, who of course simply had to be part of the wedding. Amanda herself was amazing and her photos even more so. The photos were, to use her favorite word, dreamy. She delivered everything from the traditional shots to fun candids to sweet moments, all wrapped in a fantasy-esque package. The overall quality of the photography was incredible and she even managed to deliver the full wedding wedding album within weeks of the wedding, not to mention a sizable preview only days after. We highly recommend Amanda as a wedding photographer with zero reservations!

Amanda is amazing!! She seemed so genuinely happy to be shooting our wedding. Friendliest person ever, so much so that she felt like part of the party. My family and friends loved her! She's also super chill and accommodating and made us feel relaxed even when we were stiff at first during our posed shots. Can't wait to get our photos back!
