Amanda took our wedding photos on 12.18.22 and we LOVED having her there!! She brought such great energy right away and was hyping me up with every picture she took. I’m a very self-conscious person and I’m also very shy so I was nervous about ...
taking professional photos for the wedding, but everything has come back beautifully! She truly helped capture our day perfectly and helped us have such a great time. Don’t think twice about booking with her if you have the opportunity!

It was touching. I can't wait to finish your album and send it your way!
I found Amanda on The Knot website. I started following her work on Facebook and Instagram and absolutely fell in love with her work. She captures such beautiful, romantic moments and our pictures literally made me cry (and these were just the ...
preview pics). She directs you every step of the way so you know exactly what to do and don’t feel like an idiot standing around. She is precise and whipped thru all 917,927 pictures we wanted very efficiently and beautifully. Our family is like herding cats and she did an outstanding job getting us done with pictures. Her energy level is always at a constant 100% and keeps your guests and bridal party upbeat and ready to strike a pose. We couldn’t be more thrilled with Amanda or her amazing eye. She truly captured what I had envisioned. You won’t go wrong with her.

best clients a girl could ever hope for.
Mkay was SO awesome! She was fun, courteous, knowledgeable, creative & such a pleasure. Our elopement had a hiccup with some of the location not having the lush greenery we were hoping for & she adapted quickly & all the pictures turned out so ...
beautiful. She also went way out of her way to find the perfect setting for our ceremony while directing our very few guests throughout it. There was honestly no way we could've done it without her. I will ALWAYS go with Mkay if we ever need a photographer again. Thank you so much for everything!!

She was great with all our family and friends on the wedding day - super friendly and funny!

am a fellow photographer who has worked with MKay a handful of time by choice. I met her about 5 months ago and have been inspired by her work ethic, her desire to bring out the best in her clients, and her fellow photographers and she goes above and beyond to make sure beauty comes through each and every photo.
She has always been a joy to work with and is quick to respond when I have questions or concerns. I have also referred numerous people to her for past photo sessions and some future sessions. Don't hesitate to contact her as she is one of the best and I truly appreciate calling her a great photographer and hope to continue to work with her for many years to come.

people I know going way out of her way to make sure everyone is happy with the final product. As a professional myself, I see a lot of photographs and albums. Amanda's is one of the best I see or work with. I have asked her to edit my photos before, and always ask her when I need photos taken that I can't. You can never go wrong with getting her to do your photos, no matter how big or small the occasion is. Her work during and after the shoot are some of the best I have ever seen. Book her early, I'm sure her schedule fills quickly!

friendly so she makes the sessions feel very natural and effortless. We got our photos back very quick but you could tell that she spent time on each photo to make sure they were perfect. She gave us both small resolution photos for social media, as well has higher resolution photos for prints. I cannot express enough how great she is. I highly recommend Amanda!!
