    Heather + Lucas | Destination Wedding at Brasada Ranch

    This is one of those weddings when the couple become more than friends… they become family.
    I met Heather + Lucas through his cousin, Clara – a long time client and friend. When they got engaged and said that they were thinking about Central Oregon Clara immediately sent me a text. I soon met up with our lovebirds and it became a tradition to sent Clara a selfie text of the three of us together. Fast forward to their wedding day and it felt like I was guest with old friends 🙂

    Lucas and Heather had 3 main priorities: 1. to be able to fully enjoy their wedding & reception. 2. to take excellent care of their guests. 3. to keep the day stress-free. Honestly I’d say they nailed it! Brasada Ranch offers world class amenities with a stunning view; the creative team of professionals had flawless communication and with clear guidance from our couple everyone knew exactly what to do. ::chef’s kiss::

    I am so excited to share these and to wish Heather + Lucas many happy years full of travel and homemade bread.

    "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!"
