Hi, Iβm Amanda
Most people think my job is to take photographs. I think it's to create a space where you feel comfortable enough to be completely yourself. The photographs are simply what happens next.

Iβd love to connect on Instagram!
The best photos happen after you stop worrying about taking photos.
When you’re laughing instead of posing.
When you’re wrapped up in each other instead of thinking about the camera.
When your only job is to love the person standing in front of you.
That’s where the magic lives.
If you’ve been putting off booking a session because you think you’re “awkward in front of the camera,” I have good news…
You don’t have to know what you’re doing.
That’s my job. π€
β¨ Fall sessions are filling, and my calendar is open for engagements, couples, proposals, and weddings.
Tell me… what’s your ideal date night? π

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Sretan roΔendan) to BOTH of these guys who just happen to be two of my favorite people in the entire world, my best friends and such amazing partners to each other. Today we celebrate Toni and tomorrow we celebrate Denis but honestly right now, let’s just celebrate them both! πππ₯³ππΎ

The best engagement photos don’t just show what you looked like. They remind you how it felt.
The quiet moments. The laughter between poses. The way they looked at you when they thought no one was watching.
Years from now, those are the memories you’ll want to hold onto.
If you’re planning an engagement, proposal, elopement, or intimate wedding, I’d love to tell your story in a way that still feels like you years down the road.
β¨ Now booking couples who care more about genuine moments than perfect poses.

Rain on your wedding day? Sometimes it creates the moments you’ll remember most. π€
Katie & Henry embraced every single drop, proving that the best weddings aren’t about perfect weather—they’re about choosing joy anyway.
Add in the sweetest friends and family (who created the most incredible charcuterie spread I’ve ever seen π), clear umbrellas, and a whole lot of love, and it turned into one of those days I won’t forget.
And to top it all off… @henryfburgess recently referred me to photograph one of his friends’ proposal. There is no greater compliment than trusting me with another chapter of someone’s love story. Thank you both. β€οΈ @_katie.burgess_ @ilbellagardens
Smitten with these two lovebirds who just got engaged yesterday!!! Congratulations TJ & Kat!!

No venue? No problem! Ann and Rob threw one of the sweetest backyard weddings I’ve ever seen. Saving costs on major big ticket items like a venue can really make an impact on your wedding. It’s not for everyone, but if it is for you, don’t let anyone make you feel bad for it. I’ve seen HUNDREDS of weddings over the years and I’ve never seen one I walked away from thinking “well that was a crappy wedding”. Do what is right for you. Marry the person you love, even if it’s in your backyard.

As we approach their 3rd wedding anniversary, I just to share some ceremony photos from one of my favorite weddings of all time! Simona and Karin threw what might be the best wedding I’ve ever witnessed, full of color, detail and an insane amount of love and support from two families across two different cultures. I don’t think I ever laughed and cried so much in one day.
I was just the photographer but I truly wish I could go back and relive this day again and again!

I’ve seen lots of posts lately talking about why you need a second shooter… and then it shows secondary shots like this.
But did you know an experienced photographer who slings two cameras at once can also get you these secondary shots? An experienced wedding photographer knows how to anticipate what’s coming next, knows what emotions follow certain moments, carries two cameras for two different focal lengths and moves like a gazelle with the speed of a cheetah to get where we need to be.
So if you’re planning a wedding and are unsure if you need a second shooter, talk to the photographers you are interviewing about it. Some of us are fully confident and capable to shoot a wedding solo. And some of us prefer to have a second. At the end of the day, it’s about what you want, what you need and what you can afford.
But the truth is, you don’t NEED a second photographer to get a second angle.
