    Amanda + Josh | Beautifully Simple Courthouse Wedding

    I’ve been wanting to blog this wedding for months! I’m so excited now for everyone to see these two people so in love. <3 I photographed Amanda + Josh’s engagement portraits, in a family style including three year old Makenzi, earlier this summer on Miranda + Andy’s farm in Peedee. Originally they were planning on an intimate ceremony at the farm in early September, but changed their minds in favor of a courthouse wedding plus a private vow service and honeymoon in Sunriver. …I was going to blog all the wedding and Sunriver photos together, but with a busy summer A+J decided to postpone their vow service/honeymoon and save it for a vow renewal. Yep, it’s been a wacky-busy summer!

    Amanda + Josh were married at the Benton County Courthouse in early AugustĀ surrounded by their loving parents and with Makenzi at their side. Bright colors expressed the joy and happiness of their love and union in flowers and Amanda’s dress. I am so blessed to be part of this family’s many celebrations!

    "I feel so lucky to have had Amanda there with us to document every major milestone in our relationship: engagement, wedding and now our very first pregnancy!

    She has become such an important part of our lives and made each event even more special with her photography and positive energy."

    - Erika + Matthew

    "Amanda has an amazing ability to capture the actual emotions of the experience on camera... All our guests fawned over our amazing and artistic photos, and I know the pictures will be excellent memories for years to come.

    More personally, Amanda is a super kind and generous person that clearly loves what she does."

    - Alison + Austin

    "I told [Amanda] I wanted some branding and lifestyle photos for my new website and social posts and she more than delivered!

    Seriously. I refer Amanda to anyone who wants to feel good about themselves, their business, their products, their event, whatever."

    - Kasey Yanna | Freedom Feels Communications

    "With Amanda, not only do you get a rockstar photographer, you get an experienced professional who understands the emotion and lifelong importance of every moment of a wedding. We received tons and tons of unsolicited positive feedback from our closest family and friends about Amanda. She was a constant source of support and positivity throughout the weekend."

    - Danielle + Matt

    "[Amanda] excels at: attention to detail & understanding the story of each client and shoot, kind and direct communication, and articulating clear instructions to whomever is being photographed.

    [...] she has a special ability to help bring out the best in you and give you photos where you shine!"
