Amanda Rai Photography

everything wedding photography related. We recently had our engagement photos and LOVE them! We took them at Great Island Commons (Amanda's suggestion) and they came out beautiful. They captured our personalities, and the lighting was stunning. Amanda was friendly, encouraging, and made us feel like rockstars (even though we are awkward!) We are so happy we chose her and can't wait for our wedding photos!

h your photographer on your wedding day and Amanda is genuinely so wonderful and the kind of person you want to have around you! Having Amanda Rai Photography capture our wedding was on of the best decisions we made, thank you Amanda!! Original Review: Amanda is amazing, my fiancé and I couldn't be happier with our engagement photos! She is so easy to work with and helped coach us through the shoot making it enjoyable even though it was only 20 degrees outside. She posted a sneak peek of the photos that same night and the full gallery later that week. We can't wait for her to photograph our wedding!

had with them has been so pleasant. They're incredibly friendly, easy to work with, and their work is amazing. We are in love with our engagement shoot pictures. They are beautiful and such high quality!! Based on these we can't wait to see how our actual wedding photos turn out!

ch made both my fiance, Travis, and I more at comfortable and excited with the entire process doing photos! We weren't dead set on any certain place for to do our engagement photos, so we used one of their suggestions, Strawbery Banke. Caroline was INCREDIBLE to work with. She made us both feel so comfortable and joyful while she was capturing all the different shots. When we were walking back to our car at the end of the evening, Travis said " Caroline is the best hype woman ever" and I couldn't agree more, we are beyond in love with the images and moments she captured. I keep picking a new favorite everyday!!! We can't wait for the wedding day with Amanda Rai Photography, Caroline & The Associate team (:

s so kind and accommodating with rescheduling our photoshoot. In the end, our engagement pictures turned out better then we could ever imagine. Amanda sent the final pictures to us within the week of having them taken. The "sneek-peak" and blog post were an added bonus! Don't look any further for a wedding photography service, Amanda Rai Photography is the BEST! :)

ly natural. We're so lucky to get this glimpse into what our wedding photos will look like and we can't wait!!

Caroline, and Morgan were so calm and amazing on our big day. They seamlessly shot numerous locations and navigated us through a jam packed wedding week and day of timeline. The images are out of this world beautiful and exceeded our expectations! If you are looking for easy going, organized, positive photographers with a natural, airy look these are your people! My husband and I joke that we wish Melissa could follow us and capture our daily adventures!

ptured us perfectly and we know we're in great hands for our wedding next year.

ographs are so natural and she incorporates so much movement into her photographs. Not everything is your standard portrait, which I love. They really captured the joy we felt in all the photos. There isn't one photo I wished I had or any shot I felt we missed out on. They captured it all!!! It was so hard to choose what I should share here because we have too many favorites to count. Outside of the team's photography skills, Amanda puts in the extra touch to make her clients feel welcome and excited for their big day! After working with us at my best friends wedding and now ours, we are really going to miss seeing her! We are so happy we chose her and her team! I'd recommend Amanda Rai Photography to anyone we know!

easons why she is the best at her job. Her staff is also just as amazing. I feel like she captured the true joy, candid moments of laughter, and the perfect flower girl twirls. I will treasure these photographs forever, in wall hangings, albums and gifts to our loved ones. I look forward to working with Amanda in the future for family portraits and all other photography needs.

professional, caring and loving! I had a winter wedding and had a specific vision as to what I wanted. Melissa did a FANTASTIC job capturing exactly what I wanted! I knew I could trust her to capture everything and it was so fun!! She didn't hesitate to jump into the snow and get the most perfect pictures! Thank you both so much!! Amanda Rai is everything you want in wedding a photographer!

dding is in the winter of 2022 and she has been so flexible with coordinating a time for our engagement pictures so we could have warmer weather! She sent our album so quick and the photos came out way better than my fiance and I imagined. It was so awesome to see the end result! Really glad we went with Amanda, cannot wait to share our day with her!

ine to send out our Save the Dates so she had all the photos ready within a week! It was amazing! She always responds quickly to emails and provides lots of helpful resources to prepare for the photoshoot. We sincerely love our photos and working with Amanda! Totally recommend.

ig day in August!

uld be the perfect person to tell our love story through photography. She was very flexible with our engagement session which we moved a few times due to inclement weather. During the engagement shoot she also knew exactly how to get us to feel comfortable and laughing the entire time. We can't wait to do this all again on the big day with Amanda!

el right at home from the get go. She was also SO great working with us remote trying to plan a wedding in Maine from Texas and flexible with all of our venue changes due to COVID. I cannot say enough amazing things about her! Thank you amanda for making our day amazing and for all the BEAUTIFUL pictures you captured!

ortable in front of the camera immediately, truly cares about her couples including reaching out multiple times during the craziness of 2020, and is honestly one of the nicest people I’ve ever met! We just got our pictures back from the wedding day and not only was it weeks earlier than we were expecting, they are BEAUTIFUL and captured our day perfectly. I really don’t think our day would’ve been as special without her. If you are looking for a photographer in the New Hampshire area, I cannot recommend her enough!

akes everyone feel comfortable and makes the process stress free! We can't thank Amanda enough for everything and would highly recommend her!!

ot have asked for anything more! My Fiance' and I are the least photogenic couple out there but somehow these gals were able to work their magic and capture all of the love and energy on our wedding day (Not to mention round up our 16 person wedding party together for photos). Leading up to our wedding day Amanda was so organized and helpful in the midst of such a chaotic process! Hire Amanda Rai Photography- you will not be disappointed!!

felt like it went by so quick, but that's because Amanda knows exactly what to do! She was clear and specific for every pose (which was helpful for us), yet everything still felt natural. She was able to get our photos back to us quickly, and we are so happy with how they came out. We can't wait for her to also be with us on our wedding day!

lt time. My husband and I are so blessed to have shared our wedding day with her and we just cannot recommend her enough! If you are looking for a professional but personable photographer, Amanda is your girl. She is one of the best vendors to work with and you will not be disappointed.

will ever meet. On the day of, we experienced rain and she brought umbrellas and planned for everything and captured beautiful photos. We are so thankful to have had her at our wedding and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

how to stand and what to do with my face etc and she walked us through it and found a way to grab all the right shots so that they looked natural. She told us we would have them within 2 weeks and she got them edited and back to us within 1! She has been so on top of everything with reaching out to coordinate stuff and answers my emails and thousands of questions almost instantly, she listens to my concerns/wants and gives great feedback and advice. Wedding photos are so important because it is how you will remember your big day and share it with others and i'm so happy we went with Amanda because we can sit back and not have to worry, knowing we can trust her to capture everything perfectly! UPDATE Amanda did our wedding photos and she was amazing! We originally booked with her 3.5 years ago when we got engaged and she did our engagement photos as well. When our 2020 wedding was postponed due to covid Amanda did not skip a beat, she immediately honored our deposit and changed our date and made sure she was available for us. Our wedding was August 7 2021 and she had all of our photos back within 2 weeks, beautifully edited. She had our engagement photos back within the same time frame, ahead of schedule. She is super friendly and on point with everything she does, from reminder emails to answering you back when you text/email her, to coordinating which shots you want and giving advice where applicable. Amanda and her 2nd shooter (who i'm sorry I cannot remember her name) showed up on the day of our wedding with Starbucks, the cutest outfits and the utmost enthusiasm- you would have thought they were participating in a wedding for one of their own family members. If you're looking for a photographer, this is your sign. Book ASAP you will not regret it! Sincerely, a very picky/very happy bride :)

d be one to hang my wedding photos in my house, but now I cannot wait to! She gave us photos we will cherish for our entire lives! From the first meeting, to the engagement photos, to our wedding day, and after she was always so calm, extremely organized, and very thoughtful. We had a sneak peek of our photos before we woke up the morning after our wedding and already have our gallery just over a week later! I cannot say enough great things about her!

running very behind on the wedding day, Amanda stayed calm and still made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted. She also was very thoughtful throughout the whole wedding planning process, and made us feel like we were her only clients. Choosing Amanda as our photographer is one of the best decisions we made!

ing to find another photographer like her. Our engagement photos were beautiful and available within a few days after the shoot!! Her photos are bright, natural and gorgeous! Throughout the whole process Amanda made us feel like we were her only clients and knows how to make you feel special and appreciated. Amanda took the time to visit our venue before our wedding day to check it out and decide on good places for photos for our big day. She showed up early the day of our wedding and stayed late to get our grand exit photos. Three days after our wedding I received a text message from Amanda with a few sneak peak photos from our wedding and that our gallery would be ready by the end of the month. Three days after that we received an email stating that our photos were all edited and ready to be viewed!!! She really went above and beyond all our expectations! She had all our photos done in less than a week from our wedding!!! Our photos are absolutely beautiful! And we are truly blessed to have found Amanda!! Thank you Amanda Rai Photography!!!

of the way. She managed our large family very well and got everyone laughing, smiling and looking at the camera...crying kids and grumpy teenagers included. About a week or so after our wedding, while we were on our honeymoon, we were beyond thrilled when she told us our photos were ready! They are absolutely beautiful and we have received so many compliments about what a wonderful job she did. We certainly agree!

ble, but cleared up to a perfectly blue sky when it came time for the shoot. Amanda was on board for an adventure, even when the weather was not ideal. We felt extremely comfortable when we arrived. She was prepared and had poses and locations in mind for the entirety of the shoot. Amanda's photography and editing skills were fantastic and just what we were looking for. The turnaround time was much faster than expected. She also suggests printed photos; which I personally love due to my scrapbooking passion! I would not hesitate to reach out to Amanda in the future for any/all of our photography needs.

ur expectations. All of our photos were absolutely stunning! Amanda was very easy to talk to and responded to my emails in a timely manner. We would HIGHLY recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a professional, talented, reliable and sweet photographer!

ase during the entire process. Amanda also demonstrated that she is a true professional with her preparation, responsiveness and very quick turnaround with our engagement photos. Above all, the quality of Amanda’s work is stunning and beyond compare. We are so thankful for having found her and we could not be happier about sharing our special day with her!

or us to put all of our wedding panning memories in...so sweet! We went over some details and looked over packages, but didn't settle on a date for our engagement photos until months later, due to our schedule not hers. Amanda could not be MORE accomodating, or helpful. That date that we needed for our engagement session happened to be a very chilly, drizzly day, but that didn't stop Amanda! She is SUCH a professional! She knew what we planned to wear, and chose the PERFECT location! We feel like she literally CAPTURED our personalities in our those photos. We honestly had the BEST time despite the rain, and can not wait to spend the day with her on our wedding day! Thank you Amanda!

emember, and made sure to get the best moments of our reception. Not only did she get amazing candid shots of everyone, but she helped to keep everyone smiling the whole time! Her personality is perfect to have around on your wedding day! We honestly couldn't have asked for anyone better!

s a nice touch.

lexible as we had to reschedule a few times. I would highly recommend her and I'm so glad she will also be taking our wedding photos! Edit (after our wedding): Choosing Amanda to be our wedding photographer was the best decision! She did an amazing job and she sent the full album to us in less than two weeks. We're so happy with the way our photos turned out. I'm still amazed at how she captured so many different angles of the ceremony. Several of our guests even commented on how friendly she was and how well she "blended in" during the ceremony and reception! I was also really impressed that Amanda took the time to visit our venue before the wedding to find cool spots for photos. We didn't even know about some of the spots she found, so it was awesome that she did that research! I would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a photographer - she definitely made our day run smoothly!

dding photos were even better. Amanda constantly went above and beyond throughout the entire year. From sending me flowers when my grandfather passed, to sending me a face mask to relax during the thick of planning, and a Starbucks gift card to keep me going during my final weeks of planning. She also gifted us a beautiful canvas print of one of our engagement photos on our wedding day. On our wedding day she was so on top of everything. She got photos that I didn't even notice she was there for. The candid photos she captured were precious and will be cherished forever. She was also awesome with my two young nieces during portraits.

and attentive to what her client’s visions are as well as sharing in her own vision for her client’s big day. I felt as if I had known her for years upon only just meeting her. It’s a relief to have found someone who is as passionate as my wedding vision as I am. I feel as though she’s not only my photographer but my friend which makes this whole experience fun, exciting and easier than I could have imagined. I know I’ve found a photographer that I can go to for more than just my wedding. I am so excited to be working with Amanda throughout the next year and beyond & I will be recommending her to anyone in search of a photographer. Thanks for being a down to earth woman with a creative eye Amanda!! I appreciate all you do.

with us throughout the whole planning process of the wedding and really wanted to know all the details of our day from the big details down to the smallest to ensure that she captured everything! As the big day approached, we met with her again so she could go over everything with us and ease any last minute concerns that we might have. When the big day came, Amanda was more than amazing! She walked us through every step of the day. We did have a second photographer that was photographing my groom and his wedding party while Amanda stayed with us girls. She helped me pull off 3 "first looks". One with my Dad, one with my grandmother and finally, one with me. She captured each one of these "first looks" perfectly! I never knew she was there for any of those moments but yet, she was right there to make sure these moments were captured forever. As we moved into the ceremony, again, I never knew Amanda was there! She blended in and yet was front and center to get those perfect shots. During the reception, she mingled with us and made sure to take the photos we had requested. At the end of the night, our grand exit was my husband and I going down the water slide, in our wedding clothes! She and the second photographer were there at the bottom of the slide to make sure they caught that moment we hit the water and they succeeded! Amanda under promised and over delivered FOR SURE! We had a sneak peak of a couple of our photos within 24 hours with also an email that indicated we should expect our full digital photos with in 30 day. Amanda exceeded our expectations AGAIN and we had all our photos back within 6 days! These photos exceeded all expectations that we had and again, for the second time, Amanda truly captured our relationship! She caught intimate moments between my husband and I. From tender forehead kisses to the wiping of a tear during our first dance, Amanda was there. So many of my guests have commented on how kind and fun she is! She danced and laughed with us too. Amanda was instrumental in our stress free day. Amanda is fun and interactive. She brings you into her world with her social media accounts with photos and stories of her beautiful family, fun challenges and ways to make you smile. She makes you feel beautiful, strong, empowered and that you are her only bride and the only wedding that matters to her. She has a customer for life and I am so proud to be an A.Rai Bride.

shed pictures very quickly! Amanda is a great photographer!

Amanda took the initiative to find the church we were going to be married at to envision what the pictures will look like. She was ever so helpful in suggesting places and timings for our engagement and wedding shots. She is very creative and very kind when we basically didn't know how to pose or act. Most of all, we could tell that Amanda was excited for us, we could even feel her joy for us through her emails. She communicated very effectively and we are very grateful for that because sometimes we were quite forgetful. Amanda added to the joy of our wedding, she even showed up early even though she didn't have to. She was extremely professional and just very sweet from day one till the last shot. We are definitely blessed to have met Amanda and have her capture our moments in forever shots. Amanda offered the best price for her quality of pictures and service! So thankful for Amanda!

tial issues. She visited the ceremony and reception site and made recommendations about the best angle for the ceremony to be set up. On the day of the wedding, she was organized and professional. She took beautiful pictures and was fun and easy to work with. I highly recommend her for engagement and wedding photos.
