Oh Lovely Wedding

work speaks for itself. My husband does NOT like taking pictures, and never thinks he looks good in them. Amanda has a natural way of making you feel comfortable, amd catching you in the best, raw moments.

e had a very large bridal party and she managed everyone like a pro! Amanda even stayed a little longer to capture everything for us when we were running behind. The pictures are SO beautiful and we are going to cherish them forever! Our wedding was over 2 weeks ago and I have not stopped getting comments on how beautiful our photos are. Thank you Amanda! I would absolutely recommend Oh Lovely Wedding to anyone still shopping for a photographer!

and roll with all of the moving parts of a wedding day. She helped guide and pose us through all of the portraits, and she works so swiftly. She was able to keep all of the wedding party and family members on task for those formalized pictures, while remaining playful and chill. She also collaborated beautifully with our videographer and other vendors. Do yourself a favor and hire Amanda!! She brought a very warm and calming energy to such a hectic day, and we are forever grateful to be the recipient of her time and talents!!

so smoothly. She was on top of everything and captured so many sweet moments. She made me feel so confident and beautiful and made the photo taking process fun for everyone from family to friends to bridal party. I would 100% recommend her to any and all couples looking for that special person to capture their day and no one does it better than Amanda.

feel comfortable and her creative vision was exactly what we had hoped for. Our beach session and wedding pics turned out amazing! I highly recommend Oh Lovely Wedding!

cient. We especially appreciated that we were able to get all of our couple, bridal party, and family photos done before the ceremony allowing us to enjoy our cocktail hour! She was great at giving us cues so that we got romantic and picturesque couple shots. We received our photos in a very timely manner and are so happy with how they turned out! I highly recommend hiring Amanda for your wedding photos!

ncluding lots of detailed shots, and she is so efficient we were ahead of schedule. I highly highly highly recommend her! Could not have asked for a better photographer!

and also extremely patient (which we found out is extremely important on your wedding day). Amanda and her team seamlessly blended into the background, capturing the most intimate and candid moments without ever feeling intrusive. They have a true talent for capturing not just the events of the day, but the genuine emotions that go along with them. She also had a plan, found fun places to shoot, and made us feel extremely comfortable throughout. The final photo gallery left us absolutely speechless. Her attention to detail, the play of light (ours was outside in a redwood grove which isn't easy to shoot), and the artistic composition in each shot were beyond our expectations. As I mentioned, not only is Amanda exceptionally talented, she is also incredibly professional and accommodating. She went above and beyond to ensure that every request was met and even added her creative touch to make every shot even more enchanting. Thank you, Amanda (& team), for turning our wedding day into a visual masterpiece that we will treasure forever!

wledgeable, which put us at ease. On the day of our wedding, she helped capture the most beautiful photos of my husband and I at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. She knew the area well and directed us effortlessly and efficiently, while being keenly aware of areas with the best lighting. Her care and attention to ensure our day was truly special was evident in every interaction - even helping many of the groomsmen with their boutonnieres! We received all our photos a little less than 1 month after our wedding date, which was fantastic as we were still on our honeymoon and got to relive so many precious moments together. We are so happy with the quality of our wedding photos and can’t wait to print our favorites for our home. We would recommend Amanda to any couple looking for a wedding photographer!

ng day itself. On our Wedding day, she arrived to the venue early, identified the best locations for portraits and helped direct/guide our family members and bridal party for our group photos. She was directive with our portraits (which we were really grateful for!) and helped us feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. She captured every important moment and event immaculately. Amanda has this unique talent of being able to capture the emotion in each moment, which has made these wedding photos our greatest treasure in the world. We couldn't be happier with the experience we had working with her, or the photos we received. Truly couldn't ask for more from a wedding photographer. 10/10 would recommend.

ncredible art speaks for itself but aside from just the photos, she went above and beyond in so many ways: 1. She is incredibly accommodating. Amanda agreed to drive out to the desert at the crack of dawn to take photos of us at sunrise in the 90+ degree weather. 2. Amanda is so easy to work with. Sending her an email is basically like sending her a text because she responds so quickly 3. Amanda made us feel so comfortable. Neither of us consider ourselves photogenic or natural in front of a camera but she made everything so easy and the photos were to die for 4. Amanda is very organized and on top of everything. She helped keep the entire wedding on time while still getting all of the photos we had requested. We can't thank Amanda enough and know she will make an excellent photographer for your event!!

ut-of-the-box wedding theme and nailed it. Thank you so much for working with us; we love all of our photos and couldn't have imagined our spooky day without you!

which photos to get and she got both the standard portraits while also finding the more candid moments. We were delighted to also see many great photos of our guests and the venue! Overall, Amanda was amazing!!

felt nervous about being in front of the camera. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture both the big moments and the small details and provide beautiful photos to treasure forever!

g styles but when we received the final gallery, we were beyond impressed. We love the way she captures all the raw candid moments and the exact vibes we wanted.

ust a bit behind, she ensured we got all the photos needed. She did such a great job of herding the families and wedding party (which we all know is not easy) and I appreciate her patience through it all! Our photos are beautiful, I can't stop looking at them! Plenty of complements from everyone - I would recommend her to anyone!

pher was at the top of our list. I'm a very detail oriented person and knew exactly want I wanted captured/photographed, so I provided her a 'shot list' prior to the wedding day. Amanda not only arrived early the day of the wedding, but captured all of my needs, wants, and so much more! She was extremely professional, knew the venue very well (SO helpful since I was out of town), and so poised in the chaos of family and the events surrounding. We received a few special preview shots from Amanda a few days after the wedding, and let me tell you - I was in complete awe in how beautiful they came out ya'll. About 3 weeks later we received our entire photo deck, and I was in love all over again. It's so hard to be able to be in the present at every moment at your wedding with so much happening, and it was so nice to be relive it again in your POV, but in Amanda's lens as well (literally haha). We're so happy and grateful that we found and hired Amanda. Her work is simply fantastic. We can't thank her enough for being at our wedding and making it feel and look so magical.

ng photos!! She was incredibly professional, discrete, kind, and accommodating. She makes you feel incredibly comfortable and assures you -- through her actions -- that you are in incredibly capable hands within minutes of arriving. Hiring a photographer whom you can have that much confidence in is a BLESSING as it allows you to just enjoy the day and not worry about how the photos are turning out or if the important memories are being captured. You can tell she truly has an artistic eye by where she chooses to take the photographs and how she positions her subject (whether it be the wedding party or the smallest details). What I love most is how she managed to capture all of the joy, love, and magic of the day in BEAUTIFUL photographs without constantly instructing us or making her presence known. Any professional photographer can take "good photos," but it takes a truly outstanding photographer to correctly assess the vibe of the couple/wedding and capture it uniquely in beautiful photos. What sets her apart is her ability to not only understand and convey what makes a couple's love unique, but also honor what matters most to them. For all these reasons, we will eagerly recommend Amanda to couples for years to come!! Thank you endlessly, Amanda, for the gift you've given us in beautifully capturing our special day. We cannot wait to cherish these photographs for the rest of our lives!! :)

gagement shoot with her. Initially we felt a little apprehensive about an engagement shoot, but it was so much fun and we were so happy we chose to do one! Amanda was great at directing us and helping make us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos came out perfect. It was also so nice to get some practice shooting before the wedding, so that on the day of we were already comfortable with her and the whole process. We couldn’t be any happier with the photos from our wedding. She and her team did a great job capturing the little details, the big moments, and the absolute magic and joy of the whole day. They were great at being directive for the posed shots and at completely blending into the crowd when they were shooting candids. They did a great job choosing locations, and they were awesome at coordinating with our videographers. It’s honestly so hard narrowing down which photos to put in our album, and which ones to order prints of because they are all SO good! Also, she was so quick to deliver the photos, I was absolutely thrilled to get to see them all after only a couple of weeks. We can’t recommend Oh Lovely Wedding highly enough, we are so glad we chose Amanda and are so delighted to have such beautifully captured memories to cherish forever!

nd beyond. Prior to our date, we had met with her over the phone to discuss our concerns and what we really wanted to prioritize on our day. Day of, Amanda arrived on time, wrangled up the family for photos, and then was ready the moment the ceremony began. Post ceremony, we wanted to visit a local winery during sunset hour. She was more than willing to accommodate that request. What Amanda provided for us are now gems that we'll be cherishing for years to come. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.

they are the artifacts your children and grand children will be looking at someday! We are sooo glad we hired Amanda to take our wedding photos!! She and her assistant were WONDERFUL to work with - kept my husband and I at ease/comfortable and made the process of taking wedding photos so much FUN (which is not an adjective I ever thought I would have been able to use when describing posing for photos!)!! They did a wonderful job of capturing the essence of our wedding including lots of amazing candid shots and documenting details I would have never remembered. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. The biggest problem we have is going to be picking out which photos we want to print because there are so many amazing ones to choose from :) Thank you so much, Amanda!!

or the rest of our lives, but also, the fact that we received them within 2 weeks after our wedding was amazing! This really helped to keep the excitement alive and everyone couldn't believe how quickly we got them back. Amanda is extremely professional and wonderful to work with. She made the whole process seem very easy and I really think she offers better prices than many other wedding photographers who don't provide the quality she does. She made us laugh and smile and just feel so comfortable the whole time. I was truly at ease our entire wedding day, in part knowing we were in such good hands with Amanda.

s it easier to have fun and get into the mood for taking photos - especially since if you aren’t used to taking photos it can be awkward at times. My husband and I did not feel awkward at any point in time. She took charge at important moments like wrangling all of our family together for the large arrangement of family portraits. She captured all of our important moments in such a magical and memorable way. We loved almost every single one of the 600+ photos we received from Amanda after the wedding.

n the course of 1 week leading up to the big day) - but Amanda rolled with the punches and we finally got to meet her 2 years after booking her. Day of, Amanda was cool, calm, and collected - extremely organized and knowledgeable on what shots and poses we should do. We got sneak peek photos within a few days and the whole album only a week and a half after the big day!! Highly recommend Oh Lovely Wedding!!

ier. Highly recommend.

helped us feel relaxed and helped us find the best poses. The pictures are beautiful and she got them back to us so fast and we actually got to enjoy looking at them the last night of our honeymoon, which made for a very special memory.

n and pose advice. Every single one of our engagement and wedding photos are magazine worthy. While I was going through them with my mom and had shown her the first 50 or so she said “are these just your favorites? They are so good” and I had to explain that I hadn’t even chosen favorites yet, they all were just so good. She was professional, on time, easy to communicate with, and a very skillful photographer. We are forever grateful for her talent. She made our wedding day a dream and the photos really captured that!

with the results would be the understatement of the century. Amanda is thoughtful, creative and finds the BEST atmosphere for your photos. Her courteousness is one of my favorite things as well; no matter the pressure, she will always make sure you feel comfortable. I cannot recommend working with Oh Lovely Wedding enough.

our close family. She helped us feel comfortable and natural in a post-proposal shoot and had lots of fun ideas that turned into beautiful pictures. Additionally, I really appreciated her accommodations and flexibility that went along with a “surprise” proposal (showing up early, hiding, etc...). Turn around for the photos was also very fast. I wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking to capture life’s important moments.

ing perfectly. Before the ceremony we met Amanda at balboa park for photos just the two of us and that was such an awesome backdrop! Amanda took some amazing photos that we will cherish forever. Her turnaround time on editing was also really quick! I think the contract said 30 days but it was actually like 10. I highly recommend Amanda!

uring the day of our wedding. From the start Amanda worked with us to determine the right pricing and package for our small wedding. She also had some great suggestions for engagement photo locations and was very flexible when we had to change the date of our engagement photo shoot. On the day of the wedding she was prompt and made us feel very comfortable throughout the day. She did a great job capturing us getting ready, our first look, the ceremony, and our reception dinner. One thing I really enjoyed about her work was how she incorporated the natural surroundings and aesthetics of the venues into our photos. To summarize we are very happy with our photos and would definitely recommend Oh Lovely Wedding to other couples!

in Julian, CA due to COVID, Amanda was there every step of the way. She answered all my nervous and stressed out bride-to-be questions and was beyond encouraging, flexible (when we later decided to change our date by one day), helpful and willing to do whatever needed to make our wedding day that much more special, including driving the extra distance! Not only did she arrive to my family home early with a wonderful, fun, professional and engaging personality, but she scoped out a location to do sunset photos in a place she had never been before. She was attentive and gave great direction when it came to posing for the pictures!! We are SO thankful and LOVED our time spent with Amanda!

l and groom shots when I needed more time to get ready. I'm such an awkward person in front of a camera, but Amanda made me feel at ease and the end results are stunning. My biggest wedding fear was picking the wrong photographer. If you relate, pick Amanda from Oh Lovely Wedding. You won't regret it!

at looked like they were shot on film. She delivered beautiful, dramatic, consistent images. I have been having such a hard time picking which ones to print because I love them all. As far as working with her - a dream! She took charge wrangling people, was invisible during our ceremony but captured everything, she found creative backdrops, and looked at our unique elements (like my dress and veil which had fringe) to create once in a lifetime kind of photos. Thank you Amanda for capturing our day with such magic!

the entire planning process. Communication with her was always prompt and clear. On the actual wedding day, she was cool and calm. Amanda and her assistant navigated the wedding day so effectively. She was exactly where she needed to be directing us through the shots. She never rushed us or made us feel as though we were having a formal shoot. The whole process was incredibly organic and fluid. Our wedding party had a fantastic time. The best part is when she sent us out photos. OH MY GOD. Every single frame was STUNNING! Her unique perspective during shooting and the mood of her edits are beautiful to the point of heartbreak. I can't stop looking at my wedding photos! Hiring her for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Thank you Amanda, your work is PHENOMENAL!

up to photograph the day, even though we’d only talked on the phone once prior. She made my husband and I feel so incredibly comfortable in front of the camera and captured the entire day beautifully. We just got all of our photos back and we cried tears of joy reliving the day and seeing all of the once in a lifetime moments she snapped. Her photographer intuition is spot on and she goes out of her way to be helpful. She helped me bustle my dress when it came undone on the dance floor and even offered to hold my used teach whitening strips when I forgot I had them in. (No, I didn’t take her up on that offer) but it’s just one of the many examples of how “down for the cause” she is. If you are looking for a photographer, contact her ASAP, but seriously, do it. Photos last a lifetime!!

s able to work with our vision every step of the way. Amanda allowed us to feel comfortable in front of the camera all while having fun and taking in each moment of our special day. We are over the moon with Amanda’s work on our wedding photos. Not only are the pictures gorgeous, but they also perfectly capture the spirit of the day.

y the final outcome, and I'm recommending her to all my San Diego friends!

us feel comfortable the whole time. Her photos online were beautiful and we were so happy that ours came out just as beautiful. We had her at our wedding & rehearsal dinner because we wanted photos in different settings and different outfits - she was so flexible! She also worked so well with our videographer, which was huge. I love her different approach to the photos too - give us a sneak peek super quick of edited photos & then the full raw album shortly after & allowing us to choose our favorites. Would highly recommend her & team for your event. Thanks for making us look so good :) my only regret is not booking her for more hours on the day of.

isions we made! She was our #1 choice after seeing her amazing work, and we're so thrilled she was able to photograph our wedding and engagement shoot. She's very professional, communicative, and easy to work with. Getting photos taken can feel a bit awkward at first, but Amanda made us feel so comfortable and was great at telling us just what to do/how to pose, we felt at ease right away! She and her assistant did a wonderful job during our wedding, they knew all the best places to get photos around the venue, and captured all the details and moments of the day. Not only are the photos absolutely beautiful, but she gets them back to you so FAST! I was amazed by how quick the turnaround was, from delivering sneak peaks, to the full set and final edited photos. The final images are so gorgeous and perfectly capture the feelings and aesthetics of our day. We chose to buy a portrait book from her as well, and it was definitely worth it. The book itself is super high quality, and it's a lovely way to showcase some of our favorite wedding photos. I seriously can't say enough good things about Amanda, and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an amazingly talented, professional photographer!!

with Amanda as our wedding photographer was probably the easiest to make, and also one of our best investments ;) Here are a couple of reasons why we absolutely love her: 1.) Her communication from the very beginning was timely and professional. After our initial conversation on the phone there was an undeniable assurance & feeling we wanted to work with her! 2.) During our engagement shoot my husband and I were definitely timid at first, but Amanda made us both so comfortable by directing us every step of the way! She's a master of finding the most perfect locations and being that boost of confidence you need to rock any photoshoot! 3.) On our wedding day she was so focused and incredibly professional. She utilized every hour so efficiently, capturing every moment and detail of our special day. 4.) As busy as she is, her turnaround for pictures is quite amazing. She posted 3 sneak peak pictures 2 days after our wedding on Instagram and delivered all the photos in less than 2 weeks! We received the photos we chose to retouch on our 1 month wedding anniversary, and I must it was the best feeling to relive our special day through all the amazing photos! 5.) Her dedication to her clients is gold standard, if you haven't booked a photographer yet you need to contact Amanda ASAP!!! ;)

oked at her website, the style of her photos caught my eye immediately. Amanda is AMAZING at what she does! She was not only extremely professional but responded quickly to emails and also made us laugh and feel comfortable throughout our entire wedding day. Her organizational skills allowed us to complete all the photos we wanted in record time so that we could quickly join our guests at the reception. Amanda also posted a sneak peek of three of our photos on instagram that we absolutely love!!! She captured genuine smiles and we are looking forward to seeing the rest of our photos. :D

de us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured our day beautifully and we are thankful to have these photos to look back on. I cannot recommend Oh Lovely Wedding enough. Do not hesitate to hire Amanda. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our special day!

ghting, etc. I had so much fun and never felt awkward like I normally do taking pictures. I cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding!! Wedding Weekend Review: Where do I even begin!! After 3 wedding date changes due to COVID, my husband and I finally got married in September 2022 in San Diego. Amanda stuck with us over the past 3 years and has been so accommodating and flexible with moving us around within her schedule. We are so thankful for her and couldn't imagine our special day without her! First off, a few weeks before our big day I reached out to ask if she could photograph our rehearsal dinner. She rescheduled her flight into San Diego and made herself available to shoot our first family gathering of the weekend. We so appreciated her flexibility and willingness to be there for us!! What a way to start off our wedding weekend. On the day of our wedding, Amanda showed up early and was ready to get the ball rolling! I'm very awkward when it comes to taking pictures and Amanda immediately made me and my bridal party feel right at home! There wasn't one moment where we felt awkward or uncomfortable. Amanda knew exactly what to do every second of the day and was able to make the smallest moments feel so special. She made me feel so beautiful and confident and I am so grateful she was there to capture our wedding. Amanda is very thoughtful with each picture she takes and it showed in our STUNNING wedding pictures. We received our full gallery within 3 weeks of our wedding and I have been so emotional looking through each one. The emotion + joy she was able to capture allowed my husband and I to re-live the best day ever. We have had the toughest time trying to figure out what pictures to put into an album because EVERY SINGLE ONE is absolutely beautiful. I cannot recommend Amanda enough!! THANK YOU!
