ience results in incredible photos. Not to mention, Amanda is just fun to be around! Tim (second photographer) was awesome amazing and we were grateful for their awesome partnership!
As part of our day we also had a videographer. Amanda worked very well with him!
Highly highly suggest Amanda! We will for sure book her again for family photos!
Amanda was the very best photographer I could have ever dreamed of. I am very awkward and uncomfortable in social situations and getting my photos taken but she made me feel so com...
fortable and confident. The quality of the photos are unparalleled and we loved them!
Working with Amanda was so amazing and so easy! She's so easy to talk to, easy to get in touch with, and blew our vision for our wedding and engagement photos out of the water. My ...
husband and I had never had professional photos taken together before our engagement shoot and Amanda made it so easy to relax in front of the camera and capture moments that were truly "us". Our family and friends were very impressed with her work as well. Don't trust your special moments to anyone else, Amanda is IT.
Amanda was an amazing photographer to work with! She did both our engagement and wedding photos. I definitely recommend doing this as we spent time during the engagement shoot lear...
ning how to pose together. Then by the wedding day, we were already comfortable with getting our pictures taken and knew how Amanda’s process worked. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. It rained all day on our wedding day, but Amanda worked her MAGIC and took some truly magical shots. She used some special tricks with lighting up the rain so it looked like the rain drops are glowing behind us. Even though I was disappointed that we couldn’t take pictures out on the golf course, she was able to get some very pretty greenery as a background for us by using the porch as a cover. We also did venture out into the rain, and Amanda had cute bubble umbrellas for us to use! We got our wedding pictures back EXACTLY 4 weeks after the wedding as promised and they were as beautiful as expected. It was also really nice that there was an online album so we could easily share with family and friends. Book Amanda (Arrae Photography) for your wedding day and you will get the best wedding photos you could ever dream of!
I can’t say enough good things about Amanda! She has been with us since 2019 and did our engagement photos, first wedding ceremony, and our big reception this year. She worked thro...
ugh every complication COVID brought us including pricing and was so accommodating I couldn’t believe it. She is funny and honestly became a friend throughout the process! She is easy going and good with crowd control. We got married during art prize and she found places that fit us as a couple by staking it out beforehand to find the perfect spots. Her pics are beautiful and I want to hang every single one! We are also an LGBTQ couple and there was no awkwardness no second guessing positioning- it was natural for her! Having her as part of our wedding took all the stress away.
My husband and I used Arrae photography's services for our engagement photos and wedding day pictures. Amanda was the first out of multiple photographers that we met with when tryi...
ng to find our photographer. Her kindness and professional mannerisms were what made us initially like her. On top of how nice she is, her photography is one-of-a-kind. She truly has a gift. The way that she captured candid, once in a lifetime moments at our engagement and wedding days is stunning. The lighting and backgrounds she uses/finds are so beautiful! I tear up looking at our photos because she has captured my husband and I's love so beautifully. Amanda was also wonderful at working with large, loud groups. We did family portraits in the church after the ceremony, and she was able to coordinate all of this chaos of our large families with grace and professionalism. I couldn't believe someone would be able to do that, to be honest! Bottom line is is that Arrae photography will do an absolutely amazing job, and we will go back to Amanda for future photo opportunities. Her photography is a true gift and you should choose her for your photo shoots, whatever they might be for! Thank you, Amanda! Sincerely, Bridget & Alexander
I wish I could give her a million stars. She’s affordable but an artist with photography! I have had multiple people tell me just from our preview pictures that they wished their w...
edding pictures we as vibrant and beautiful as ours. Seriously you will not regret using Amanda as your photographer. She is so down to earth and we will be our photographer for life now!
She does a beautiful job! Her pictures are top quality and awesome to work with! I can’t imagine anyone else taking our photos for us!
She is amazing her work says it all and she really makes you feel comfortable I could not have picked a better person to photograph our day.
I CANNOT say enough great things about Amanda! The reason we hired her for our wedding was her attention to detail and picking up on the most special candid moments of the day. Of ...
course her portraits are great too but the special small moments she can capture are priceless. I have only seen a preview of our wedding day shots and I am already in love! Also she herself is just hilarious and fun to work with yet professional and gives GREAT direction. Whether it was engagement photos or the large group photos at the weddings she gave great direction to all and kept us on time. You can tell she loves what she does and captured moments we will cherish forever. Thanks Amanda! We are your biggest fans! *Josh & Jenna
Hiring Amanda as our wedding photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made in wedding planning. From our first time meeting her, we were sure that she was the right ch...
oice for our event and we were not disappointed! Amanda made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photos, and came back with beautiful shots. On our wedding day, her and her second shooter were complete rockstars. Amanda was extremely organized, kept me optimistic even with the threat of a full day of thunderstorms, and brought a collection of awesome clear umbrellas just in case. She was great about suggesting locations for our photos, and did some scouting in the days prior to find the perfect spot for our first look.
Every guest loved interacting with Amanda, and we have received nothing but complements on our photos. She fit right in with our group, and made everyone feel relaxed all day.
Amanda will now be our family photographer forever, and we would very highly recommend Amanda and Arrae Photography for your wedding day, or any other photos needs!
We were very happy with our wedding photos! I am happy that we also did an engagement session before the big day as we got to meet Amanda before all of the wedding craziness and it...
put my mind at ease knowing that on the big day, the photography was not something I would have to be worried about! We were not dissappointed! Also we loved the flashdrive the pictures came one. Very cool!
Words cannot begin to describe how wonderful and professional Amanda is. My then-fiance and I had no idea what we were doing when it came to planning the time frame of the wedding ...
day and when taking pictures. We relied heavily on Amanda's clear instructions to get us through - and she did! Amanda is a visionary, a superb photographer, and frankly one of the most enjoyable parts of the planning and wedding day for me. She can make anyone smile - including our exhausted two year old niece! The icing on the cake with Amanda is that the pictures she takes are absolutely STUNNING! If you get a chance to work with Amanda, do it. She's creative, inspiring, adaptable, patient, artistic, funny, and an absolute delight. I could go on!
