Thank you so much for visiting my page and congrats on your engagement! I know it is a very crazy time full of a LOT of decisions, so for now I would love to tell you about myself and hopefully I will hear from you!
I am very passionate and love to learn new techniques every season. I have been photographing weddings since I was 19, but the last few year I have averaged photographing 13 weddings a year. I am excited to continue to grow my business and build connections with new and existing clients alike. I am located in Rochester NY, but love to travel all through Upstate NY.

Amanda was very easy to work with and took beautiful photos of our wedding. She was very responsive leading up to and on our wedding day, so easy to communicate with. She was very enthusiastic about our wedding and supportive of anything that we wanted to take pictures of, and worked so hard to capture all the special moments on the day of our wedding. Our photos turned out wonderful, we were blown away when we received our sneak peak and again when we received the full album. There were so many great ones to pick from, and our families loved all the photos too. Would definitely recommend working with Arise Photos!

We are so so so happy that we worked with Amanda to capture our special day. Amanda is the perfect mix of personal and professional and helped both myself and my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera when we usually would not be. She helped to make sure that our day ran as smooth as possible and made sure to get all of those special pics I was hoping for!! We love that we have SO many beautiful photos and memories captured.

Arise Photos did our engagement shoot and our wedding day photography. We were blown away with the quality of our pictures. Amanda is a ray of sunshine and she makes the entire process so comfortable. She truly knows what she’s doing and we plan on using her for any future photography! Don’t hesitate to book her, you will not regret it. Everyone at our wedding complimented her work and her bubbly personality. If you’re looking for a photographer that you’re going to LOVE for any occasion, Arise Photos is the one to go to!! 🤗🩷

Amanda was hands-down the best photographer we could've asked for to capture our engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day!
Throughout the entire experience, she was extremely responsive, talented, hardworking, professional, and passionate. She was beyond reliable and went above and beyond for us in every way. Most importantly, she made everything feel natural and FUN! I really appreciated that she asked what style(s) of photography we liked at the start of the process, which she then mimicked in her work to ensure we were as happy as possible with the turnout of our photos.
The end result blew us away... she captured every special moment in the most beautiful of ways! I can't recommend her enough!!!

Amanda was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was very personable and she worked so hard on our wedding day to capture all the important moments. She kept us very organized without being pushy which was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer who is responsive, affordable and easy to work with. She truly takes pride in her work, as reflected in our photos which turned out stunning. Thank you, Amanda, for making the wedding planning process less stressful!

Amanda was professional, skilled, fun, kind, and go with the flow. She helped capture our day 3 times over: engagement, wedding, and 1 year anniversary! From helping us with how to pose to editing photos in breath taking ways - I am so happy with her work. She is an honest, hard working entrepreneur who genuinely wants you to have a good experience. She is talented and produces great photos but is also reasonably priced. She will listen to what you want and work diligently to incorporate your ideas while also sprinkling in her expertise. 100% recommend!

Amanda took our wedding photos in October of 2022. She was communicative from the very start, prompt, professional, and fun through the whole process. We had a somewhat non traditional idea for our pictures and she worked with us to deliver exactly what we wanted every step of the way! She went out of her way to try out various editing styles to figure out what we would love best. I would send absolutely anyone to Amanda for pictures for their special day!

d getting to know you and Connor a bit more at your engagement session and I KNEW it was going to be a truly special wedding! I've never been so moved by a groom seeing his bride for the first time down the aisle. It was such a joy to capture that moment for the two of you to have forever ❤️ Thank you so much for choosing and trusting me!

Amanda and the Arise Photos team absolutely crushed it at our wedding! They showed up on time right at the beginning of our day and covered every minute and every detail we could have asked for and then some. We received a gallery of over 1500(!) images and each and every one is absolutely incredible. From flay lays and detail shots, to every single decoration, plus family portraits and more. Not to mention our amazing engagement shoot which was also included in the package.
Amanda has amazing technical skills and perfectly captured beautiful images in a variety of lighting scenarios ON THE FLY but she also has incredible personality and creativity that she poured into our whole day from start to finish. She really brought the energy and hyped us all up during our shoots, making us laugh and pose, plus climbing and crouching in every position to get allllllll the best angles, no matter what!
Through some misunderstandings we ended up with no video coverage and our guests thought that our "unplugged" ceremony meant they couldn't take their phones out the whole day, so quite literally the ONLY photos we have of our day are from Amanda and her team. She even surprised me with some video of our first dance that I thought would never exist, and I still can't watch it without crying.
Overall Amanda and the Arise Photos team get a one million out of ten rating from us and I highly recommend hiring them for ANY of your photography needs!
