    April + Clare | Big Love at the Jupiter Hotel

    April + Clare were 1000000000% surrounded by love and support on their wedding day.
    It was a scorching hot day in Portland and everyone was seeking refuge in the shade with a cool drink… or in their rooms with the AC blasting!

    April and her bride’s-folks played a (new to me) card game on the Jupiter Hotel patio while Clare and her bride’s-folks were upstairs sipping on yummy drinks. You could feel the deep connection between everybody present and that energy only grew as more and more people started arriving throughout the day.

    My favorite part of the whole day… ok there were two favorites: 1. The first look! I knew that April wouldn’t be able to hold it together once she saw BOMBSHELL Clare. It was perfect! Everyone cheered for them from the hotel balconies! 2. The champagne flutes instead of flowers. Instead of having holding flowers everyone, wedding party, and guests held champagne flutes for a post-kiss wedding toast. Brilliant idea!!!

    "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."

    "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!"
