We can’t say enough wonderful things about Amanda! She made everyone — even the guys — feel comfortable and excited about the whole photography experience. Her energy and enthusias...
m turned every photo session into something genuinely fun and easy.
The pictures are absolutely stunning — every emotion, detail, and memory from our wedding and reception shines through. It feels like we’re reliving the day each time we look at them!
She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was relaxed and having a great time. If you want someone who truly cares about your experience and can capture your special day in the most beautiful way, we can’t recommend Amanda enough. We had truly a wonderful time!
We are so thankful we had Amanda and her assistant as our photographers on our wedding day! From start to finish, they were not only professional but also so easy to work with. Ama...
nda has this calm, collected way about her that made what could’ve been a very overwhelming day feel simple and stress-free.
Amanda was so open-minded and flexible, and her communication throughout the day kept everything flowing naturally. What really stood out was how she managed to keep everyone comfortable and made sure we all had full smiles on our faces. Even in the middle of so many emotions, Amanda kept everything light and fun while still capturing every important detail.
Her experience really showed in how smoothly she handled the unexpected and how effortless she made the whole process feel. We never once worried about the photos — we just got to enjoy the day, knowing she had it covered.
Amanda and her assistant didn’t just take pictures; they helped create an atmosphere that made our wedding even more special. You would be a fool not to have her in your consideration, We can’t recommend them enough!
Amanda was absolutely amazing! She communicated everything with us and even made sure the week of the wedding we were prepared in case it rained! She provided a timeline to me prio...
r to my wedding day and we discussed changes then she made the changes! I love every single one of my pictures from our big day! She was timely in getting them back to us! She captured our day perfectly! She also did our engagement photos and captured my husband and I in one of our favorite places! I cannot recommend her enough!
We can not say enough good things about our photographer Amanda Nellesen with HeartsFoto. Last minute we had to find a new photographer for our wedding and she was on the list of ...
photographers that came recommend by our venue. Looking at her photos I feel in love with her work and was so excited when I reached out to her and found out she was available. She instantly made us both feel at ease and just had one of those personality’s that you can’t help but love. During the day of our wedding she had this way about her that made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed while making it fun. When we got the pictures back they were absolutely stunning! They will be pictures we will treasure always. If you are looking for a wedding photographer we can not recommend her enough!!
Heartsfoto is an absolute must for your wedding! I mean, Amanda’s pictures speak for themself, but the entire experience of working with her was divine! She made time to meet with ...
me multiple times before my wedding and totally vibes perfectly with our low-key, small wedding. But I know she could fit in anywhere because she is extremely talented, professional, and gets it done! We serendipitously had the same vision of small wedding at the church my husband and I had selected. Amanda had always wanted to shoot where I always wanted to get married, so that little personal connection really brought us together. I loved working with her and I love our photos! Go with Heartsfoto, you will not regret it!
I highly recommend Amanda for any pictures you’re wanting to capture! She did both our engagement and wedding photos and went above and beyond our expectations! She’s so easy to ge...

Amanda and her team were the best! They were so much fun and captured the best moments. I am so thoroughly impressed with my pictures and Amanda.
I wasn’t in town to do engagement...
shots, which was included in our package, so Amanda suggested a boudoir shoot. I am so reserved and have never done anything like that, but I’m so glad I did. Amanda made me feel so comfortable, beautiful and empowered.
With the wedding, everyone was completely blown away with her and her team. She is like a photography ninja; she was able to capture the best moments, completely unnoticed.
While wedding planning, I kept getting advice on the importance of a great photographer. I am so thankful we chose Amanda, because everyone was so right! The photos last forever and there’s so many special moments she was able to capture, moments that I would’ve otherwise missed!
This review is for Amanda at Heartsfoto photography. With 2020 being so crazy, my now husband and I decided to have an ultra small wedding ceremony at our local park. One of the fe...
w wedding experiences that we didn’t want to miss out on, was wedding pictures. I contacted a handful of photographers and Amanda was one of the most prompt, professional and sweetest of the bunch. After meeting with her and getting a steal of a quote, we decided to choose her to capture our special day. I can honestly say that she made our little elopement SO special. She was upbeat, professional and made us feel like models. When we got our pictures back, we were blown away at the quality. We were “posed” elegantly and naturally, the lighting was phenomenal, and it took me back to that most precious moment of my life. I am SO happy that I chose Amanda for my wedding day, and will continue to loyally choose her for my future photography needs. Thanks a million Heartsfoto!!
Heartsfoto was awesome from day one! The Nellesons are such nice people, easy to contact and quick to reply. Amanda asked all the right questions, helped set up a timeline and made...
sure we had a list of photos we wanted, even changed the itinerary last minute for us. They did exactly as I had requested of them and then went above and beyond my expectations. They were so fun to have around on our special day and made everything so easy! 10/10 highly recommend!!
Amanda took our engagement photos as well as our wedding day photos.
I feel so lucky to have found her!! She takes incredible photos, is organized, and was the most perfect photogr...
apher my husband and I could ever ask for!!
Both my husband and I are a little awkward with pictures, and I'm always very self-conscious in photoshoots. Amanda made us feel comfortable and relaxed in the photoshoot, and we honestly just had a really great time taking photos (which has never happened to either of us before!!)!
On the wedding day, everyone loved Amanda. She would make even the most "serious" people in our wedding laugh and smile in the photos. I very highly recommend Heartsfoto!!
Amanda did a fantastic job capturing our special day! She got previews to us to see within just a few days and the full gallery to us before I expected!
Her eye for detail was so ...
much appreciated! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and have fun! She is super friendly and a joy to have there capturing the day!
We will cherish these photos forever and HIGHLY recommend her for others weddings!! <3
Amanda has an amazing eye for what makes a picturesque and memorable photo in any situation. Anyone can shoot a picture and edit in lightroom, but Amanda has a special talent for c...
apturing the mood and feel of an event. She shot our wedding/engagement pictures and she really went the extra mile to make sure all the photos were perfect. She also has a really great photo package that provided a really unique and lasting memory of our wedding. We cannot thank her and recommend her enough.
When it comes to Amanda, I can't find enough good words to describe her or our experience. We were blessed to find Amanda through some close friends of ours. She did our engagement...
shoot, my boudoir shoot as a wedding gift to my husband, and our entire wedding day. I have never liked pictures of myself, especially when taken by other people, but I seriously couldn't be more in love with the pictures we have gotten back from Amanda. She is AMAZING to work with, so sweet, and makes you feel like you're just a couple of friends having fun, not doing a photoshoot. For all the work she put in between all three shoots, the price was unbeatable, and the results were stunning! We received our wedding pictures about a month after our wedding; I was amazed that she was able to get them to us so quickly! Photos are the one thing you will always have from your wedding day, and she did the best job of making sure our day is beautifully unforgettable.
Amanda is AMAZING!! She shot our engagement photos and our wedding photos and did such an amazing job! We are so excited to see the rest of the album. Amanda is such a sweet person...
and very easy to be around! We were very lucky to of found Amanda and have her apart of our wedding day! I would highly recommend Hearts Foto to anyone!!
Amanda was truly the best photographer we could have ever dreamed of having for our wedding! She had the same vision as we did for our wedding and even from our engagement photos w...
hich took place 10 months before our wedding we knew she would be the perfect photographer. She did so well with working with our family and the craziness of the wedding day. She is professional, prompt, and SO KIND. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My father-in-law who is our pastor and the minister for the wedding, he has been a pastor for 30 years and has done hundreds of weddings, he said Amanda was the best, most professional photographer he has ever worked with at any wedding he has done in the past. I will recommend Amanda to any couple I know getting married in the future.
Thank you Amanda for capturing every beautiful moment from our wedding!!! We will definitely be wanting to work with you again someday when we do family portraits in the future :)
OMG!! Where do I begin?? Amanda is the best as they come!! I wish I could give more than five stars, because her photography is absolutely amazing!! Not only is her photography spe...
ctacular, so is she! She is so much fun and make the moments she captures twice as special, both in the moment and in her photos. She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Both turned out spectacular!! Our wedding photos are so breathtaking and stunning. Words can’t even begin to describe how amazing they are. I recommend Amanda to anyone who wants to have the best photos ever!! If you want your special day captured, engagements, family or weddings, etc., HeartsFoto is the way to go!! Thank you Amanda!
I can't say enough good things about Amanda at Heartsfoto! From our very first meeting she was so sweet and professional. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the whole...
wedding planning process and was always available to answer questions. The day of the wedding she even checked in to see if we needed her to grab anything last minute on the way to the venue. The day of the wedding she and her assistant made everyone feel so comfortable and kept everything running smoothly- we were even a little ahead of schedule! We had beautiful previews within a few days, and our entire gallery in 6 weeks. We are in love with our pictures and everyone has commented on how nice our photos turned out! I would highly recommend Amanda for wedding photos and we look forward to her capturing milestones for us in the future!
Talk about a perfect fit! Amanda was exactly the photographer we had hoped we’d get. Thanks to the time she put in getting to know us and our style preferences early on, she captur...
ed our wedding in a way we could not have imagined possible. Her fun and relaxed approach made the whole experience feel effortless for us and her creativity and eye for beautiful settings left us with stunning photos from our big day. If you are looking for a photographer that listens to you, is super easy to work with, is very responsive, and brings a ton to the table, we could not recommend HeartsFoto more strongly.
Amanda, of HeartsFoto, is a gem! From the first time I met her, to the wedding, and to months afterward, she has been welcoming, accessible, receptive, knowledgeable, talented, hel...
pful, and just plain wonderful to work with. She is the real deal and I highly recommend her!
It was evident that Amanda and Ally (who is equally wonderful) had done their research with regards to our venue. On the day of the wedding they arrived and because of their preparedness, they we able to assist us in keeping the day on schedule. They did this in an effortless, subtle manner that was appreciated by all. In addition, both photographers were so kind and attentive to the guests and anyone that had the good fortune of getting to know them had nothing but positive comments.
To top it all off, every photo is a favorite! The only thing better than a bride liking every wedding photo is the connection that was made with these wonderful human beings!
Amanda was an absolute blast to work with! She had great ideas and suggestions for me as a new bride and made the experience super easy and unforgettable. Her photos are absolutely...
stunning as well. 10/10 would have her do it again and I would recommend her to anyone.
Amanda was better than I ever could have dreamed of!! She was so warm and made us both feel so comfortable. Her photos were absolutely stunning and she nailed us as a couple! Could...
n't have been happier with her being a part of our day!
Amanda was amazing to work with! I'm super happy we chose her. She was so professional and super on top of capturing all the important moments of our wedding. Our guests and family...
loved the photos and how natural but fairy-tale-like they looked. She is also just a fun person and easy to get along with. The first time we met her in person was actually on our wedding day, and it can be awkward to have someone you just met share your intimate moments, but she is so easy going! She made us feel comfortable and she also has a great sense of humor which really helped put us at ease. Also, for the great quality that you get, her package pricing is very reasonable. I would highly recommend her!
Amanda, Holley & Katy are an amazing team! Amanda is so fun and easy to work with. She’s very responsive and did an incredible job putting our wedding photos together. Holley and K...
aty are amazing photographers. We had a huge wedding 275+ and they did a fantastic job keeping us all in line. I give these girls major kudos for having to deal with our fun crazy family and friends. Words can not express how great our wedding photos turned out! They are both extremely talented and captured every special moment you could think of on our day! Thank you so much ladies, you were a pleasure to work with!!
Amanda was so fun to work with!! Even in the scorching heat on our wedding day, she kept our spirits high and continuously made us laugh. She was the exact right amount of assert...
ive -- she made sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to be doing, but also let us relax and enjoy the day. And most importantly, the pictures came out beautifully! She captured genuine, natural moments, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Throughout the planning process, she was extremely responsive and, more importantly, encouraging. She was supportive of our ideas, and made us feel confident in all our decisions. I'd highly recommend Amanda to brighten up your wedding day!
There are not enough nice words in the English language to describe Amanda - she is the best photog ever! Amanda did our engagement photos in California where we live and then flew...
to Hawaii to shoot our wedding! Her husband, Josh, was the second shooter at our wedding. She shot for three days in Hawaii - the welcome reception, the rehearsal/rehearsal dinner, and the wedding. Within a couple days after the wedding, she had already sent me some teaser photos and she was able to sort, edit, and deliver all the pictures within 6 weeks of the wedding, which is super-fast!
Amanda is very flexible with the scheduling and will work with you to figure out what is best for you. For example: I didn’t want to disappear after the ceremony to take pictures or be taking pictures for hours on end. She accommodated all my requests and the pictures turned out so amazing!! I love the style of her pictures - there is a good mix of staged and candid pictures which I love. She got all the bridal party and family photos done very quickly - which was very appreciated by all the little kids and groomsmen! ;)
I could go on and on about how great she is... would highly recommend!!
Amanda and her team were the most amazing people to work with!!!! I was pushing on the "Bridezilla" role due to planning my wedding from California. Amanda worked with everything w...
e needed, from the look, the feel and the timeline to make sure we had all the pictures we needed without being one moment out of the timeline. She reigned in my 8 bridesmaids, who were having a wonderful time with the morning mimosas....extra wonderful, and took control of who and where and what pictures she needed without putting any undue stress on me. She respected my husband's PTSD from his multiple tours overseas and didn't use any flash photography that would bother him and was so patient with his "I'm over this picture thing" response to it all.
But most important, she gave me pictures that will help me remember my wedding exactly how
It was for the rest of my forever. I can look at the pictures for hours and know exactly what was happening at that moment. She captured the emotions, the love, and the happiness that my day was full of.
And my momma totally loves her!
I will use Amanda for my family pictures with my puppies, my pregnancy pictures, small human pictures and any other picture I can think of for the rest of our forever. Because not only is she talented, but she kind of the coolest person ever.
HeartsFoto did an unbelievably incredible job capturing our special day (and engagements photos)! Amanda was recommended to me by a friend and I am eternally grateful! The professi...
onalism and flexibility that Amanda brings to her business make everyone feel so comfortable around her and in front of the camera. Amanda and her second shooter, Nicole, were able to get stellar photos of people who typically avoid being in front of a camera! There is no other photographer who would have been able to document our personalities as well as Amanda did! I recommend Amanda and HeartsFoto to EVERYONE I can think of for not only weddings and engagements, but for all photo needs!
Amanda, you are AMAZING. Thank you for making being in front of the camera so easy and comfortable. The photos you took for both our engagement shoot and wedding day are so much be...
tter than we could have ever dreamed. The photos completely captured the joy of our big day, and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We are still in awe of how you were able to so beautifully capture our wedding day! Thank you SO MUCH!
I don't even know how to express how much I loved working with Amanda (and Holley)!!! They both went so far above and beyond on our wedding day, not only doing their jobs, but also...
wrangling my bridal party/groomsmen, letting me know where everyone was when I was stuck in the makeup chair, and being my messenger to the DJ during the ceremony! Amanda is sweet, sassy, and a true professional, but she makes everything fun and makes you feel totally comfortable. Once we got our wedding photos back, everyone who saw them wouldn't stop talking about how beautiful they were. I also did a boudoir shoot with Amanda in April and she was amazing. I was so nervous and self-conscious, but she made me feel totally comfortable and happy. I don't know how Amanda manages to travel all over the place for weddings, but I'm so glad she does!!! An amazing photographer was my number one priority for our wedding, and Amanda and her beautiful work were worth every penny. I can't think of anyone better to have been there for me on my big day.
Our experience with Hearts and Horseshoes photography was excellent! Amanda was very easy to work with, organized, and made my wedding day go very smooth. We had specific timeframe...
s in place of when we would be meeting with certain family members and she did a great job keeping everyone moving. She has a fun personality and made taking pictures enjoyable for everyone involved. I am most impressed with Amanda’s desire to want to ensure we ended up with the most beautiful pictures to remember our special day. We only had her scheduled until a certain time, but she knew she would be leaving as the sun was beginning to set and offered to steal us away one more time to get some sunset photos. She stayed late at no extra charge and those pictures ended up being some of my favorites. I am so thankful that she did that because they turned out beautiful. After the ceremony, she was very prompt on getting us “sample” photos so we could see how they turned out, and got all of our photos to us in within a few weeks. I had noticed a sun spot glare on one that we really liked and asked her to fix it for me and she had the new copy back to us in a day. She really does an amazing job and produces high quality work! I would recommended her to anyone I know getting married or in need of any professional pictures! You won’t regret it!
Choosing HeartsFoto as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding! They are so sweet to work with and seriously do the best work! My husband does...
n't like his picture taken but even he said they made him feel comfortable and not awkward at all. We just got our wedding pictures back last week and we cannot stop looking at them!!!
We love Amanda of HeartsFoto; we really could not ask for a better photographer. Not only did we use Amanda for our wedding photos but she recently did our maternity photos, we ha...
ve loved them all! At our wedding we had several people ask us who our "friend" was, referring to Amanda. We met Amanda once before our wedding but to everyone at our wedding it seemed like we had been friends for years. Amanda and her husband were an amazing duo to have capture our big day. I could not be happier with how our photos turned out, Amanda made the entire process easy. Every photo is bright and light, we have prints hanging up throughout our house and always get compliments on the photos. I cannot say enough good things about Amanda, she is awesome!
Amanda is an amazing photographer and person! We used her for our engagement and wedding photos and both turned out stunning. From the second we met her, we felt comfortable with h...
er. The day of our wedding, she kept us on time and on track, came up with unique yet candid shots & knew exactly how to capture our dream day for a lifetime of memories. I would highly recommend Amanda and Hearts & Horseshoes Photography to anyone looking for a great photographer!
We were so lucky to find Amanda and her team! We had a short engagement and so nailing down the venue and photographer were top of our list early on. Both Justin and I felt that th...
e photographer was the single most important part of our wedding (except the dress, of course) and so tasking ourselves with finding THE photographer was our top priority. We had emailed many photographers and found that our short engagement was causing a problem when booking both venue and photographer, so when we got the email from Amanda that she had our date available we were ecstatic!! From the beginning she made the process so fun and enjoyable. She has great vision and her images are proof of that. We felt very confident that we were going to have amazing moments captured from our wedding, and boy were we right! Not just stunning photos of us and our wedding party, but the mood and magic of that day was captured in all the photos. From candid shots to the more formal, they were flawless. She commanded the chaos and produced stunning shots. I guarantee you won't go wrong with her and her team, plus they're a ton a fun to work with! We loved the entire experience so much that we will be sure to use her again as our family grows into the future.
I hired Hearts Foto for my wedding last month and I loved them! Amanda is the main photographer located in the midwest and Katy is the main photographer on the west coast. Amanda w...
as great to work with and responded quickly to my emails. Katy and her assistant Teresa were our photographers on the day and they were great wrangling my family for photos. Teresa went with the groom and groomsmen to a different location for getting ready pictures and the boys had nothing but good things to say about her. Katy came to the venue and took all of our getting ready photos, she had great energy and made everyone feel comfortable and helped give some direction for posing. Katy even came to the venue the day before the wedding to get ideas for locations which was very comforting. I can't wait to get my final shots back!
Amanda was at our wedding to capture all the most perfect moments of the day. I love how all her pictures seem to be infused with a natural glow that highlights the joyous mood of ...
the occasion. Amanda was extremely easy to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process and took a big weight off my shoulders knowing that our photos would be well taken care of. She easily gained rapport with the wedding party and was super fun to work with. My bridesmaids mentioned more than once how much fun they had taking photos for Amanda. She is a true professional, knowing how to capture all the right shots while not being obtrusive to any of the wedding activities. Our wedding portfolio is absolutely perfect and I’m so glad we now have all those photos to look back at for years to come. I hope I have the pleasure of working with Amanda again.
I could not be any happier with our decision to have HeartsFoto capture our wedding!! I got a really good vibe chatting with Amanda on our initial phone conversation & her packages...
were within our budget. Katy was our photographer & she was amazing!! She did our engagements, my boudoir, & our wedding. Both Amanda & Katy were professional, easy to work with, responsive to emails/calls/texts, & flexible. They made us feel very comfortable & were so much fun! During every session (engagements, boudoir, & wedding) we were laughing the entire time. It really felt more like hanging out with friends than it did taking pictures.
All of the pictures we got were gorgeous!! They came out better than I could have imagined! We got previews the next day & the full album within a couple weeks (I’ve heard stories of it taking 6+ months).
On our wedding day Katy & the 2nd shooter arrived early. They set up quickly & got right to work. Hair & makeup took longer than expected & 2 groomsmen were almost 2 hours late. We were totally behind schedule but Katy was very patient & flexible and we were able to change things around and make up the time. We still got to the ceremony on time & got all of pictures taken too!
I received several compliments from family/guests about our photographers after the wedding. The general consensus was that they were nice, fun, & they weren’t “in anyone’s face” or “bossy.”
Amanda sent me a very sweet text the morning of our wedding. It was the simplest gesture but so sweet and thoughtful and something I really appreciated. I really think that goes to show was an amazing, caring person she is. You can tell she truly loves what she does and she is FABULOUS at it.
Amanda was absolutely amazing! She made us laugh and our pictures were amazing! She captured all the little details and was open to any pictures I requested. She was also absolutel...
y amazing at communicating. I booked her close to a year before our wedding because I fell in love with her style of photography. I love how she captures the real moments and makes you laugh. She was also great at dealing with those crazy grandparents, lol. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone getting wedding pictures done, you definitely won't regret it!!
Amanda is amazing!!! Our wedding pictures were absolutely stunning! She made us laugh and made me feel comfortable even though I hate getting my pictures taken. I know that in 50 y...
ears from now we are going to look back at our photos and remember how perfect the day was all because she was there to capture those moments! Thank you thank you thank you Hearts and Horseshoes Photography for helping make our day amazing!!! Love you! Xoxo -The Stirtons
Hearts and Horseshoes Photography was nothing short of amazing! From the moment I reached out to them and through the entire wedding process they made it easy for me, made me feel ...
special and truly made the experience so enjoyable. Amanda kept me on track with everything and was the sweetest person to communicate with and was so patient with me. Katy and Holly were so amazing at our engagement shoot and on our wedding day! They were so fun to be around and made us feel so comfortable during our photos. The very best part is the final product - the photos! I honestly could not have been more thrilled with the photos, I'm so grateful to have this time in my life captured SO beautifully! This was my first experience with professional photography and they truly set the bar so high, they will absolutely be my choice for photography for all future special occasions! They came highly recommended to me and I very highly recommend them to you! You will not be disappointed!
Aside from the ultimate goal of getting married and celebrating our new life together as husband and wife with our friends and family, having a great photographer on our wedding da...
y was top priority. We were about to settle with another photographer when I happen to come across Hearts and Horseshoes. I looked at one photo and fell in love with Amanda’s style of work. Upon booking, I quickly found that I would have much more from Amanda than just a photographer on site. She was an essential part to our wedding planning, is very responsive and not only knows her job well but is also 100% compassionate about what she does. We booked her early on but she stayed in touch for the months to follow and up until the night before the wedding. Talking about the wedding with her was always so exciting. Amanda never left us to wonder or worry about any details. We worked on timelines and lists of family members about a month prior, nothing was ever left for last minute which was very much appreciated, for me, being the bride to be, checking stuff off of my to do list was another task of its own. The day of the wedding there were a lot of unexpected setbacks but Amanda never gave up with helping me stay positive, she always had a quick solution and never lost her cool. She emailed a few preview photos the very next day which kept me smiling until I received the complete folder which was delivered far before expected. Between her and Nicole, they captured so much of our special day and the images are everything I expected and some. Amanda with Hearts and Horseshoes is truly the best friend that all soon to be brides will need by their side.
While every decision we made for our big day turned out to be the right one, I can honestly say that this was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. I was so nervous f...
or our engagement shoot and Amanda made it so relaxed and fun! For the next 6 months until the wedding day we could not wait to see what she would come up with. From the help in planning our timeline to the late night " I CAN'T WAIT!" texts, the build up was so high that it would have been easy to disappoint. Needless to say - Amanda, Katy, and Holley absolutely killed it! Not only did our pictures turn out incredible and reflect us so very well, but the attitude of the Hearts and Horseshoes team brought even more fun and laughter to the day. The shy girls opened up with them and the guys never complained about a picture while gaining silly nicknames from the crew. We would gladly recommend Amanda and her crew to anyone looking to capture a special moment in their life and we can't wait to see this gal year after year!
Amanda is absolutely wonderful! From the first email I sent her she was so prompt and positive! I had read her previous reviews and loved her style and storytelling in her pictures...
. I needed a photographer that could capture animals as our dog Zoey our "furchild" and was extremely important to us to include in our engagement photos! Her communication was wonderful throughout the process and she even arrived early to get acquainted with the area in Couer d'alene, ID. She was so easy to be comfortable with and genuine that the entire experience was such a pleasure. My fiance really hates having his photo taken but she was able to get him to be more comfortable and crack some genuine smiles. He too was raving about how great and how "above and beyond" she went for us!! On top of a fabulous day of experience, she was super prompt in getting our photos back to us, which of course was very exciting. Her artistic style is amazing and she has a great eye for lighting. We couldn't be any happier.
By far the best choice I made for our wedding day was hiring Amanda/Hearts and Horsehoes Photography! She captured our day so perfectly and beautifully, I could not have possibly ...
asked for anything more from her! She shot everything I wanted and more! She is the absolute sweetest person you will ever meet, she is extremely professional, and she is unbelievably talented at what she does. It was amazing to be completely comfortable with her during the wedding day shooting us, and she was totally able to handle my huge and somewhat ridiculous family(not to mention the jokester best man!). My groom is really uncomfortable with pictures and Amanda made him completely at ease-half way thorough the day he even preferred pictures to dancing(this is breakthrough!)! If I could choose a thousand times over who our photographer would be for our wedding day I would choose Hearts and Horseshoes again and again. Thank you Amanda for turning our day into a fairytale we can look back on forever!
Amanda with Hearts & Horseshoes Photography is one in a million ! A bride has so many stresses when it comes to planning a wedding and I can't tell you how amazing it felt to be 10...
0% confident in Amanda.I was able to completely relax and trust her, which on your wedding day means more than you can imagine. Amanda captured my wedding day PERFECTLY !! I couldn't be happier. As an added bonus she is the most amazing person. Warm, friendly, kind. She truly is a joy to work with and made me relax and smile throughout the entire wedding planning process.She did my engagement pictures / save the date pictures as well which also turned out even better than I could have imagined. I have 2 dogs and she is an animal lover and was so patient with my little guys and took the best pictures of them !! She goes above and beyond. My little dog ended up being really sick on the day of the wedding so sadly I didn't end up with a picture of my husband and my 2 little guys on my big day... but Amanda photoshopped him into one of the pictures and its INCREDIBLE. You cant even tell that she photoshopped him in !! Now I have a family picture from that day that I can cherish forever !! I am going to have all my family and friends use Amanda.. she is that good :)
Here's the deal. If you DON'T want the most caring, loving, sweet, TALENTED, amazing photographer taking pictures of the best day of your life (hopefully a once in a lifetime deal)...
, then you probably also hate cupcakes, puppies and should look somewhere else. I kid.
I found Amanda's website and knew I had to have her as our wedding photographer right away. Her style and ability to capture not only what the eye sees, but what the heart feels is remarkable.
I felt at ease and I knew I had made the right decision right away after our initial communication and was sure I had won the wedding photographer lottery after our engagement shot with her. - Oh hey torrential downpour that wants to ruin our beach engagement shot - Amanda immediately came up with plan B and the pictures turned out amazing.
Prior to our big day Amanda always took the time to answer every single question I had right away (and I had tons). Then once the big day had arrived I felt like a family member was taking our pictures and not some stranger photographer I'll never see again. This in turn made us feel so at ease and relaxed and the pictures capture that feeling beautifully.
I could go on and on, but you get the gist. Whether you are looking for wedding, engagement, baby or family photos .... Look no further, you found what you are looking for.
Thanks Amanda and Hearts & Horseshoes for being amazing and blessing us with your talent and coming into our lives!
Amanda is awesome! She is laid back but very professional and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She also had lots of patience with my husband's rowdy groomsmen :) ...
She is also very reasonably priced. My engagement pictures and wedding pictures turned out absolutely amazing!
There are no words to compliment Hearts And Horseshoes highly enough! Amanda and Johanna did an absolutely amazing job! I have never met 2 sweeter girls in my life. They made my...
husband and I feel so relaxed and comfortable, and made the whole experience truly special. The pictures are INCREDIBLE - these girls are extremely talented! A HUGE "Thank You!" to Amanda and Johanna - we love you guys!
