Updated since we got married:
When my now husband and I booked Amanda Rai Photography, we knew that it was going to be the right decision immediately! Amanda was attentive, responsive and a true dream to work with. She kept in close contact ...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.
