Amanda is SUCH a doll! I loved working with her so much! She was in budget, extremely professional, creative and just an all around nice woman. I loved having her and her partner with us during the entire day of our wedding. We got amazing phot...
os and she was very quick which was nice since it was August in St. Louis and almost 100 degrees! I love my photos and she wasn't demanding or rude at all when telling people to get in line, but still made sure we got all the shots I wanted and moved quickly. Her pictures are very soft and nice to look at. She knew where to go at all my choice locations to get the best shots. We couldn't be happier with our choice to use her as our wedding photographer. I'd love to use her again for future life events. She is so incredibly nice and easy going. I can't recommend her more!
I highly recommend Dreaming Tree photography to any bride to be! Amanda has the best personality and is truly the best photographer in the St. Louis area! She has captured many of my friend's weddings, my sister's wedding, and most recently, my...
own and I could not be more grateful! She is professional, accommodating, and most importantly, extremely talented! She captures the day absolutely flawlessly!! Can't wait for Amanda to capture more of our life moments! She will be our photographer for life!
Our wedding photos are incredible. Amanda is an amazing photographer! Being a part of the wedding industry I thought it would be hard to choose my vendor team for my wedding… But the minute I went ring shopping I called Amanda and before we bo...
oked our wedding date and location, I made sure she was available. She is so passionate and dedicated to her work. We have used Amanda for several family photos, buisness projects as well as my engagement pictures… And I recommend her to my clients not only because her work is very beautiful but she's also professional and prompt. If she was not your friend or part of your family before your wedding, she will be after!
Knew right from the get-go we were going to be pleased with Dreaming Tree! Engagement photo session went slow, but I think that was mine and my husband's fault - awkward being told what to do in photos for the first time. But Amanda knew exactl...
y what to say to us to get us to relax. She made jokes. She made us joke to each other. In the end, we were so comfortable with the camera it was almost like we were professionals! Her work is absolutely amazing. Simple. Crisp. Clean. Haven't seen the wedding photos yet, but her turn around time is fairly quick! She is an absolute joy to work with and we couldn't be happier with our decision to choose her to capture our special day.
I could go on for days about how great Amanda is! Not only is she amazaing at what she does, she's kind and really cares about her brides and grooms. From the first time I talked to her, I felt as if we'd been friends for a lifetime. Amanda ...
knew exactly what I was expecting from our wedding photos and absolutely exceeded my expectations. I've already received so many compliments on our photos and can't wait to dislplay them in our home. I would (and have) recommend Amanda in a heartbeat!
I have had the pleasure of working with Amanda as a second shooter in the past, so choosing her to be my wedding photographer was a no brainier. She is very professional, one of the sweetest people I have ever met, and truly beautiful on the in...
side and out. Her work is simply gorgeous, and I love her photographs. I would highly recommend Dreaming Tree Photography to anyone getting married. Your day will be captured, and you will never forget the small details. I love Amanda, and I know you will too.
Amanda was my photographer for our wedding reception and I can not say enough about her. Her photos blew me away! I was so happy with every single print and that's hard to do with me! She captured every detail in her pictures. I was so impresse...
d! Not only is she truly talented at what she does, she is wonderful to work with. Completely professional and kind; I felt like a crazy person that day and she continued to be so patient with me. I highly recommend Dreaming Tree Photography, you will not be disappointed!
Having Amanda as your photographer is like having your best friend by your side. She is the most charismatic , genuine and fun person you will meet. She has such a passion for what she does and her work shows it. I look back from two years ago ...
and have photos that still take my breath away! Amanda was super flexible to work with especially with us living in Texas at the time of the planning. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to have Amanda by my side on my wedding day, not only will you have great photos but gain a friend!
Of all of the vendors I chose for my wedding, Amanda at Dreaming Tree made the top of the must have recommendation list! She truly loves what she does and that shines through in her work. Her style is what drew us in. She takes such great ca...
ndid shots that really capture the emotions of the day which is what it's all about! Amanda was so great to work with from booking, scheduling and shooting engagement photos, and setting up a timeline and plan for the big day. She is very professional and genuinely excited to be a part of your wedding day. We got our cd of prints back quickly, and I fell in love with almost all the photos! Amanda is amazing to work with, takes stunning photos, and is simply the best. I will be highly recommending her to everyone I know who is getting married!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Amanda's talent and work ethic! She is beyond talented and will capture every moment you want to remember perfectly!!! You will not be disappointed with choosing her as your photographer!!!
Where do I begin? I loved absolutely everything about my experience with Dreaming Tree Photography. I sought out Amanda of DTP for her photography style. Her pictures are light, airy, and well, "dreamy" and the images I received were exactly...
that...just what I wanted. Amanda is warm, inviting, and oh so easy to talk to...not to mention a super talented photographer. The first time we met was at a little cafe in Alton, IL and before we knew it, we had been chatting for three hours like we were college pals. :-)
As a wedding vendor myself, I expect nothing but the best for my brides, which is why I recommend Dreaming Tree Photography to all of my clients. Amanda is one of the sweetest people I know, we still remain close to this day. I PROMISE Dreaming Tree Photography will be one the best decisions you will make while planning your wedding.
Wow, is this girl talented! She captured our personalities perfectly. Being engaged and planning a wedding is stressful, but right after meeting Amanda, I was put at ease with her down to earth personality. She truly has an eye for creativity ...
and makes you feel so comfortable! You will not be disappointed with her high quality of work and amazing work ethic. She knows how to get that perfect shot and they will exceed your high expectations. She is someone that I will use in the future for family or baby pictures!
Having a photographer who you enjoy being with and who you feel comfortable around is probably the second most important trait of a photographer, after their picture quality. Amanda has both in great quantities! My husband and I felt completely...
relaxed with Amanda, sharing some of our most emotional moments of our entire life with her. I couldn't have had it any other way. And to boot, our pictures are gorgeous and capture our relaxed moments where we were truly being ourselves together. Thanks so much Amanda!
I used Amanda for my wedding in July 2013. She was fantastic. Easy to get ahold of at any time even when I only had a few days to see her (I was planning my wedding from 5 hours away)! Her pictures are amazing. She works with you and is kin...
d and courteous at all times. Amanda really makes it about you and your day. Lets you run with your ideas and enhances the experience. She even includes a short questionaire to help figure out which pictures you really want to have captured. I especially love having the rights to all the pictures so I can share with my family and friends and print as many as I want. That was invaluable for me since I knew I would choose so many to scrapbook that special day. I would highly recommend her to any one and not just for weddings! A friend of mine got her newborn pictures with Amanda shortly after my wedding, and those were fantastic too.
I cannot say enough about Amanda's talent and creativity. There are photographers out there that can take "good" or even "great" photos and capture the basics of an event, but Amanda's photos are breathtaking, beautiful, and amazing. She doesn'...
t just capture the obvious moments, but she has an eye for detail and captures the little things too. Some of my favorite photos from her are of things I would not have even thought to have photographed! Her pictures really come to life and somehow capture all of the emotion and love of each moment.
I love her talent so much that I also had her take my maternity photos and flew her out to California to take newborn photos of our precious baby. When you find the best, there's no reason to look elsewhere!
Amanda is amazing!! I recently got married a few weeks ago and Amanda has now posted a preview of what our wedding photos look like. They are stunning!! She shoots with a documentary style and she loves things with a history behind them. She ...
has an energetic personality and doesn't seem to miss capturing any special moment. You can tell that she loves her job by the beaming smile that is always on her face. Thank you Amanda!
I couldn't have chosen a better photographer for our wedding. Amanda was absolutly amazing and down to earth. She made us feel so comfortable during photo sessions. She is fast with getting photos back and reliable with timing. We will use Aman...
da again for our future babies.
I absolutely loved working with Amanda. She is so talented and fun, and worked so well with our group on the wedding day. She was truly interested in making our day special and taking the photographs that were most important to us. I would reco...
mmend her to anyone in a heartbeat!
Amanda with Dreaming Tree Photography is amazing. Her photos are fabulous. She is a dream to work with, and she is a great value. I have found a photographer for life with her. I originally had booked a different photographer, but after re-evau...
ating our budget decided we needed to go with a better value for our money. Amanda fit the bill and was amazing!
I was referred to Amanda through my cousin who had just met with her and said she was an amazing person. My fiance and I chose to go with her after meeting her the first time. My wedding was July, 2 and looking back, I wouldn't have wanted anyo...
ne else there! Amanda did a fantastic job with the pictures and fit in perfectly with our family and friends! I get compliments on my wedding pictures from everyone! Amanda is the perfect choice for a wedding photographer!
My wedding was August 27, 2011 in my hometown of Edwardsville, IL. My (then) fiance and I lived in Chicago and could only make a limited amount of trips back home to plan the wedding. Amanda met with me on one of my weekend trips home at a coff...
ee shop, and I knew she had to be my photographer! She takes beautiful pictures and I loved how she was confident and could tell me creative different picture ideas that she could take at our wedding. It was pretty stressful trying to plan a wedding from 5 hours away, but Amanda answered all my obnoxious calls/emails right away and made me feel as ease. Oh and, she drove to Chicago to take our engagement pictures!!!!! I couldn't be happier with both our engagement and wedding pictures and would recommend Dreaming Tree Photography to anyone.
When I met with Amanda before I chose a photographer I knew it was meant to be, she was expecting and I just found out that I was too...planning a wedding and getting married when I was 8 months pregnant was not easy and the photographer was on...
e of the last things I wanted to worry about. When the day of the wedding came Amanda made herself at home and become one of the "family" she captured moments that I would not have thought about, she spent time and got the perfect shots. WIth me being 8 months pregant she was able to get shots of me that were just beautiful and I will cherish forever. Amanda did a fabulous job, I even had people tell me that my photographer was everywhere busy taking pictures! Thanks Amanda!!
Amanda is an amazing photographer! She makes you relaxed and able to enjoy every minute and not worry about how you look, she captures everything perfectly! Not only is she a great photographer, she's just a fun person to be around in general...
. She is passionate about her work and it shows. She has tons of ideas - both for photographs and for general wedding stuff. I swear she was a wedding planner in another life! She's a fantastic person and I HIGHLY recommend her!
Amanda with Dreaming Tree Photography is the most amazing woman! She is so friendly, down to earth, and incredibly talented. I am so glad she was our photographer...not only did she keep our day running smoothly, she was affordable, but we have...
the most beautiful pictures of our day. I have already recommended her to all my friends!
If I could give anyone who is planning their wedding what I thought would be the best advice, I would say a) splurge to get the wedding dress you adore, and b) use Dreaming Tree Photography. You'll never meet anyone like Amanda. She is passiona...
te about what she does, and she loves to meet new couples and to capture their love in her own creative way. I can tell you that if you choose to use Dreaming Tree Photography you'll eliminate all the stress of worrying about your photos-she takes care of everything and for any concern you may have such as family drama, the possibility of someone in the party showing up late, rain starting during photos--any issue you could think of--she has a backup plan for each of her backup plans and she will take care of you. She is one of the sweetest people I've ever met and she will give you nothing but her best. Her photos speak for themselves. I have never seen a photographer with her style. We couldn't be happier with our decision to have Amanda photograph our wedding. She made our day perfect.
It is with great excitement that I would like to recommend Dreaming Tree Photography. I used Dreaming Tree in my May wedding and I can not begin to describe how pleased I was with the results. My pictures were very beautiful and truely one of...
a kind. Not only was every picture beautiful and unique, there were so many to choose from. Amanda is extremely talented and has a very personable, yet professional demeanor. She was always very easy to reach and responded to all questions very quickly. She was also very accomadating and does everything to make the photography process run smoothly, all while making the experience fun and memorable!
I discovered Amanda through my (at the time) "to be mother-in law". Amanda had done all of her family photography. When researching a photographer to use for our special day, there was no reservation of who we would use, we had to have Amanda! ...
When contacting Amanda, she was professional, energetic, and made me anticipate our photography sessions to come. When completing our engagement session with Amanda, I was thrilled to see what she would do on our wedding day. During our engagement session, she seemed to grasp who we were as people and knew exactly what we would like. For our wedding portion, Amanda met with us to get a "game plan" for the day. While we met, it was like we were hanging out with one of our friends. I did not feel like we were put into a box and told what we had to do. We planned nothing traditional and got everything we wanted from that day. What attracted me to Amanda's photography was her sense to catch "the moment". I was not left disappointed. Amanda worked extremely well with my large bridal party. There was never a drop of a dime. Any down time we got, we were coming up with fun and unique things to do. She created an experience for us. We love Amanda, and will be using her great artistic eye for the rest of our lives. Thank you Amanda for sharing your skill with us and giving us memories that we will treasure for forever.
Amanda is wonderful! She treats every client she has like she has known them forever! She is very creative, flexible, dependable, reasonable, and everything else a great photographer needs to be! Amanda is easy to work with and has lots of grea...
t ideas and also will work with your ideas! I definitely recommend her as a wedding photographer and have done so many times to my recently engaged friends. Like I said earlier Amanda is AMAZING!!!
The photographer in your wedding is the one piece of a very large puzzle that you do NOT want to get wrong. Amanda took both our engagement as well as wedding photos and on both occasions I was blown away (and believe me it was not because of m...
y stunning beauty, although I like to think it was). Unfortunately, on both occasions (wedding day and engagement shoot) we got hit with crap weather. I was worried that we would be limited in variety due to this, but this was not the case. Amanda has so much talent. She makes you comfortable as well as truly captures the memories you will want to have forever in a unique and creative way. I will alway be grateful to her for this.
