us they are the most beautiful wedding photographs they have ever seen. We cannot wait to use her again for other important moments in our life!

e lengths she did to get the perfect shot.

ght be a bit quirky. I cannot say enough good things about her. My pictures were gorgeous and met my high standards. I wouldn't hesitate picking her again.

ers supreme quality photos. I will definitely be using her photography services again in the future.

ement photos and our wedding and we just love how our photos came out. She has a great eye and offers a perfect balance of fun, candid photos and album-worthy posed photos. I highly recommend Amanda for any wedding or any other life event as she has a great eye for them all.

ork with. Her photographs are creative and beautiful - plus she takes a lot of them! She is also very quick - it was fantastic to get our pictures right after coming home from our honeymoon - less than 10 days after our wedding! Amanda's photos are prints-rights-released and she does provide one download without the watermarks - something to definitely look for as you shop around. Though I would still recommend going to her for prints. We ordered a 16 x 20 print of an engagement picture which we displayed at our reception. The quality and clarity were beautiful, and the price was reasonable. Can't say enough good things about Amanda - you will enjoy working with her and you will love how she captures your day.

did for us. She is easy to get a hold of and quick to respond to any questions one might have. The ideas she came up with were creative and it showed in our engagement and wedding photos. Her turnaround time on receiving your photos is exceptionally quick. She is extremely approachable and not one of those photographers that bark orders at everyone involved. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer who takes pride in showcasing your wedding day.

did. The photos we received from the wedding day were extremely professional. It was hard to pick our favorites, and we all have different ones, because the collection was so professional and well-done. I am thrilled we choose Amanda. -Jason

emotion of the day with a lens and I cannot thank her enough for that. Hire her-she doesn't disappoint! Thank you for being so much fun to work with, Amanda! We'll be contacting you for future photo shoots :).

was responsive, patient, friendly, & accommodating :) She took the time to be sure every angle was perfect, and she really wanted to get to know us as a couple. She was not intrusive and seemed to capture many candid moments (exactly what I wanted). I would HIGHLY recommend Amkar Photography!

heck so that we could capture all the shots we had planned. She not only captured amazing photos, but put together an awesome video of our wedding ceremony. She is a true professional and did an amazing job. Highly recommended. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

rtable. We purchased the four hour plan and in this time she captured 700+ photos of excellent quality. We had a number of pictures available to us within days, via Facebook, and the remainder of the photos were sent within 10 days, directly to our home, safety on a thumb drive. An acquaintance of mine was married the same day and her pictures didn't start trickling in to her for 5 weeks! My husband was so impressed with Amanda and with the quality of her work that he is requesting she take our pregnancy photos and baby photos, as well. She is well worth the cost and I would recommend her to anyone who asked.

. Our pictures turned out perfect, and I hope to be able to use her again someday for family photos!

edding (bride, groom and officiant) and wanted to capture our love for each other. She did an outstanding job and we plan on using her for family pictures in the future with the exact same direction! She was very friendly, easy to work with and the turn around time was very quick. We are so pleased. Thank you Amanda! Lisa and Mike

were especially impressed with how quick Amanda is at sharing all the photos. We highly recommend her for anyone seeking a wedding photographer.

day, always there for the big moments and to help us capture certain artistic elements of our venue, but never in a distracting way. We love the final photographs!

the things I hadn't even thought of (and I'm a pretty thorough bride). She did the many specific shots I requested, as well as many more. We didn't hire an assistant due to budgetary restraints. We were a bit concerned that there wouldn't be enough coverage, but we still wound up with a LOT of photos! She was so speedy in putting the online gallery up, we were still on our honeymoon when we got the email alert! We've still been too busy to order prints, but we've seen the photos, and they look fabulous, especially the traditional formal shoot.

e Amanda's style of shooting and her work is absolutely beautiful! I was so excited to work with her. She is so so creative and all of her pictures are bold and colorful, which is exactly what we were looking for. We can't wait to see how the wedding pictures turn out!! Thank you, Amanda, for capturing our special day. I highly recommend you and will use you in the future for mini sessions and family pictures!

table. The package prices are very reasonable compared to others... Especially including two photographers. We couldn't be more excited and looking forward to working with her on our wedding day!

is she very personable she also knows what she is doing. With this being said it was hard to pick which ones we wanted to purchase. :) Mitch and I are both extremely excited to see what's in store for our wedding photos in March. Thanks Amanda!

hen we received our photos, I was pleasantly surprised to note that she had single-handedly captured shots of not only the front of my dad walking me down the aisle, but the back of us as well. She took photos from the sides of the church, from the aisle, and from the choir loft during our ceremony, and wasn't distracting at all. She got pictures of all the little details, including the ceiling and door to the church. She was happy to accommodate shot requests, even when my friend asked her to take a picture of the sunset through the cake topper. She was thrilled to work with us on some of our more offbeat ideas. She both stood on a chair and climbed a tree on our wedding day to get the perfect angle for our pictures. We now have our special day captured in over 700 images, which are priceless to us.

otos and provide digital proofs of our wedding day photos. She has been super professional and very helpful through the whole process. She will be getting our prints done as well. While we were going through our proofs, she conveniently provided information regarding the creation of a wedding album in order to help us better pick our favorites. I'd definitely use Amkar Photography again! :)

with her email responses. Amanda is straightforward, kind, creative, and quick on her feet. Given that our wedding took place in the middle of February, she was ready for anything, weatherwise -- that 'anything' ended up being sub-freezing temperatures with some leftover snow still on the ground. Our outdoor photo session between the wedding and reception was a blast -- we were completely freezing, but Amanda talked us through the cold, took our minds off of it, and made the experience totally bearable and fun. We'll cherish those pictures with our bright red ears, fingers, and noses forever. If you're planning a winter wedding, Amanda is a trooper in cold weather, and she'll make sure everyone's back inside before frostbite starts to set in! And even though the skies were gloomy and gray, the pictures looked beautiful. We were thrilled with all of the pictures from all aspects of the wedding day. I can't imagine using another photographer. We had met with a few other photographers before Amanda that just didn't click with our personalities and styles, but we knew when we met Amanda that she was definitely the right photographer for us. She was also the most affordable of the options we had explored, and tacked an extra hour of service on our wedding day for free since we chose not to do an engagement session. Last but not least, Amanda's graphic design skills really make her stand out as a unique and skilled photographer in the St. Louis area. Her book designs and layouts are beautiful. We're still saving up to order one eventually, but in the meantime, we have the custom-designed DVD of pictures and DVD case that Amanda sent us after the wedding. The design and pictures that she chose are stunning, and the DVD is a really special keepsake of our wedding day. Amanda has mentioned in her monthly email that she is transitioning from DVDs to thumbdrives for pictures, so as to keep up with the technological trends. Overall, I can't say enough good things about Amanda and her photography skills, professionalism, and personality. I severely procrastinated in writing this review and am well outside of the window for receiving any kind of incentive from Amanda, so please know that this review is completely sincere and that I honestly have nothing negative to say about my experience! I'd wholeheartedly recommend Amkar Photography to any other bride. Thanks! -Samantha and Christian

I only gave her a few likes and dislikes when it came to the types of pictures we would like her to capture and she did the rest. No matter what your style is, she will capture the moments perfectly. We will recommend her to anyone and use her again for other professional photography needs.

how great she was and she stayed the whole night taking photos. No one ever saw her, but she got terrific shots! Our outside photos are amazing! We had a lot of fun taking these because Amanda had great ideas about fun, creative poses. We did some awesome lifting ones where my husband carried me and it looked perfect. Really imaginative! She got the exact style we wanted! Amanda was great to work with and we definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome photographer!! She was wonderful beginning to end!

fering). There were SO many pictures! Since we received the rights to the photos as well, this turned out to be an amazing value. I have to say that she really knows her stuff. By our first meeting, she had already researched the angle/timing of the sunset, etc and had a plan for capturing all the right moments with the right lighting. She also had some innovative ideas for using the facility's features to create interesting angles and photo composition. Originally, I had planned on spending a little less on a photographer, but all my friends and family convinced me that this is one area where I should dedicate some of our budget. I am a bit of a deal hunter and it was difficult for me to (gasp!) pay retail. I am so glad I did! The pictures are amazing and worth every penny!

ed them. We had our engagement pictures turned into a guest book and we are very happy with how it turned out. It really tells a story about the day, Also Amkar's pricing is very affordable and much less than other vendors but the work is top notch. Amanda really cares about her pictures and you can tell by the work she puts into getting to know you. Can't wait until September!

que style I was looking for while being within my budget. Amkar has not only lived up to my expectations for all of my pictures so far, but she is incredibly affordable too!! Would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Can't wait until August 17th:) -Kandice M.

imagine using any other photographer!

ntage aviation themed engagement shoot, and we could tell right from the start that Amanda "got it." She was super relaxed, which helped us not be nervous, and she had lots of fun/ creative ideas (and even brought her own vintage camera that we used as a prop), and it all turned out so well. We absolutely loved all of the pictures from our shoot, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for engagement or wedding pictures in the St. Louis area.

tures of baseball-themed objects. Amanda took the location and turned it into a beautiful landscape, with pictures that not only captured the moment but that made the stadium simply a backdrop and not a central focus, which is what I wanted in my photos. Reviewing all my pics afterward was breathtaking. While I was busy running around at the wedding, doing bride-y things, she was taking beautiful pictures that resulted in beautiful memories.

shy, but Amanda put us both at ease and we had a great time during out shoot. Our photos were also available less than two weeks after our engagement shoot, and they all turned out great. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great wedding photographer!

r creativity and just how amazing our day will be captured. She has been so easy to work with, and her work is quality well worth every penny. Turn around time for our pictures was a week, very fast. We highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future for other portraits.

couldn't have asked for a better photographer. I have had so many compliments from family and friends on the quality and variety of our photos. Our wedding is less than 2 months away and can't wait to see the amazing photos that she takes! I would recommend Amkar to anyone!

fs to us and for appointments. Most importantly, she is incredibly personable when it comes to capturing us and making arrangements for our special day. She is a sweet person that can be trusted to do excellent work. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

rcise in anxiety. From the return of our very first engagement photos, we knew our anxiety was unwarranted in regards to Amanda's skill and professionalism. The shots were creative but not so far outside the box that you worried for the lack of tradition. The whole family loved the color and locations that were chosen, and when it came time to show off the wedding proper, everyone was thrilled with our choice in photographer. Amanda was never in the way at the ceremony, in fact, she was never in my line of sight, but that didn't keep her from achieving all the angles, expressions and spontaneous moments we sought. My wife and I would heartily recommend Amkar photography for all your photographic needs!

s eager to help us capture that vintage feel. We have had so many people tell us our Save the Date postcard was their favorite, even family members thought we were models, like a generic photo of some happy couple. Once we saw those photos I knew my wedding day photos would be awesome and they were! Amanda was super accommodating. She asked and listened for what I wanted and didn't want. Very pleased, all around!

ate a custom package) and would definitely recommend her!

very artistic as well as beautiful. We also felt her prices were extremely reasonable for the number of photos, time spent, and other services we received. We have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so.

was fun to work with. I would highly recommend her for an engagemnet session or wedding day :)

dible and we got them SO fast. Thanks, Amanda!

with Amanda just to get accustomed to each other since we had previously done engagement photos. Boy were we shocked at how much better her pictures were!! The turnaround time is very fast! We received our wedding pictures and ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM. I have gotten so many compliments on the pictures and peole has been asking, "who was your photographer". We could not be happier with the way they turned out. You can plan the most elaborate wedding and have every detailed ironed out but if you do not have a true professional with experience taking those photos then it was all a waste! Don't skimp on your wedding photographer. You cannot recreate that day. Out of all of the vendors we used - Amanda was BY FAR the best choice we made!

future!

style. She had never even seen the location but she had such a great eye which resulted in so so many great pictures. Thanks so much Amanda!
