Amanda Rai Photography

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.
