    FAQ

    Why do you love weddings so much?

    Whenever you’ve done something for long enough people seem to assume that you’re probably bored with it… I don’t understand how this could even be possible with weddings.

    I get to be part of someone’s best day ever almost every weekend! How could that be boring?!?! While many weddings have similar stuctures the personality is all in the details. The facial expressions, hand-crafted invitations, seasonal flowers, tears, heirloom pieces for your something old, thoughtful vows, and of course the anticipation. My superpower is capturing memories. And I can’t think of a better way for me to serve.

     

    How would you describe your style?

    My work is story-focused with every detail and candid moment thoughtfully composed. I strive for authenticity, not just in the relationships I cultivate with each couple, but also in how I view and capture their vision.

    Most contemporary wedding photographers are self-taught, and while that would have saved me a lot of money, I have a formal education in photography. I frame things more like a designer, and search for emotion like a painter. One thing that I did teach myself was post-production and the first thing I learned was that it’s not magical. I maintain a very light hand in the digital darkroom and would much rather take 30 seconds to fix some rogue hairs than spend extra time on the computer.

    What’s included with your service?

    Wedding photography includes an engagement session and all the wedding knowledge I’ve acquired to date.

    Every couple receives a 30-day online gallery to share and a jump-drive with fully edited photos. The gallery also doubles as a shopping cart so that your friends and family can order prints at their own convenience.

     

    What’s your booking process?

    Reserving my services for your wedding day is a pretty simple process. After confirming via email that I’m available for your date and location we’ll meet in person or over Zoom to ensure that we’re a good match.

    I require a 50% non-refundable* deposit to reserve your date with all your paperwork signed by both of you. You’ll receive copies of your signed paperwork and your deposit check in the mail promptly. Your balance is due one week before your wedding date.

    What’s your starting price?

    I believe in telling your whole love story; in being your visual voice.

    Wedding photography coverage starts at $4500 for full-day service for maximum documentation and photographic opportunities. 

    Micro Weddings with no more than 35 guests starts at $2500. Elopements with no more than 10 guests starts at $1500.

     

     

    "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!"
