DOCUMENTARY FAMILY & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER CAPTURING

HOW IT FELT

HOW IT FELT

PENNSYLVANIA & WORLDWIDE

PHOTOGRAPHS: THE ONLY THING WE HAVE LEFT SUNDAY MORNING

The thing will pull out in one, five, fifty years from now reminding us how we lived, how we loved.

I will stand beside you and see you as you are, guide you through every session, bring you lavender tied with twine on your wedding day. I am a human long before I am a business, and I will treat you as just that: someone with hopes and fears and flaws:

A bride wanting her story to feel beautiful, even in the rain.

A mother wanting to show her children how much she loved them, even through tears.

There are a lot of photographers out there perfectly suited for contributing to your highlight reel. I am not one of them.

I AM HERE FOR THE STORY.

I PROMISE YOU THAT YOUR LIFE IS ART.

You will not find a photo of me here all head tilt, camera in my hand. I have never been quite ordinary.

It is who I am outside of my business that makes my business so unique. I am the kitchen floor dreamer.

I run this business as a human and as a human first, and it’s that reason I believe you must know - you must trust - the person behind the camera.

CLIENT LOVE LETTERS :

"When you meet Amanda, you feel as if you have known her for years. She has a special gift of making you feel seen, heard, and welcome. The way Amanda sees the world is truly inspiring to me. She is not a ‘stand here and smile at the camera’ photographer. She sees the art in every little thing and captures emotion and tells stories. If you are looking for someone who is going to hear you and honor you and capture your life in a way that feels authentic, raw, and real, please do yourself a favor and reach out to her now."

TIFFANY & ASHTON

  • "Working with Amanda is like working with a best friend. Although we hadn't met in person until the day of my wedding, I immediately felt a connection and trust in her ability to capture the day. Her creative eye works like poetry, finding small details and making them come alive in ways you didn't know was possible.”

    GARLAND & MAX

  • "Time with Amanda was nothing short of amazing. Amanda fit right into our families with ease and organized the chaos seamlessly. She was also very accommodating, turning our chilly, rainy October wedding into beautiful memories."

    MADELYN & CHASE

  • Amanda did everything I had hoped: she captured the feeling of the day in each and every one of her photos. Thanks to her artistry, we're able to look back on our wedding and remember the little moments of joy and surprise (and bonus points that we look like rock stars because of her). Amanda has a calming energy that makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and puts you at ease, helping you look more natural and like yourself in your photos. Thank you for making our wedding so special, Amanda!

    JULIE & EDDIE

  • Deciding to invest in Amanda was by far one of the best decisions, Besides marrying my husband 😉. It was a rainy day and you would have never known because Amanda had a way of using that to make the pictures so magical and beautiful. One request I had was that I wanted candid photos and not posed ones you see time and time again. I wanted her to capture the true essence of the day, she exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a photographer that cares about the details as much as you do, then you need Amanda. She is Incredibly inclusive in her beliefs which made every single person of my family and wedding party feel at ease. She is so kind, creative and fun. I would hire her again and again.

    MELISSA & STEPHEN

  • "While I usually hate getting my picture taken, I had such a positive experience with Amanda! She was so kind, professional, and helpful throughout the shoot, that I felt like I was in good hands. I ended up really enjoying myself through the whole process, which is a testament to Amanda's ability to put people at ease. In addition to having a great shoot, our final pictures that Amanda shared took my breath away. The shots were totally stunning and we were so thrilled. Throughout the entire process, Amanda was highly communicative, responsive, and supportive. My partner and I also appreciated her openness and supportiveness of queer couples for wedding shoots. We loved not having to worry about that element during what's an already a little nerve wracking experience."

    MAGGIE & KIM

  • "Amanda knows how to give space as well as subtle direction at the same time make sure you are comfortable in the setting and the session captures you and your moment in the most aesthetically pleasing and authentic way. She has a true gift to capture love and tenderness and what truly makes us us. She knows her stuff and can capture your core. I love what comes out when Amanda is behind the lens. She is insanely gifted and talented!"

    MEGAN & DAN

  • "Working with Amanda felt like hanging out with a friend--a super talented, incredibly positive friend--instead of a vendor. Despite truly disgusting wedding weather, she didn’t let the cold or rain dampen her spirits, keeping the wedding party upbeat and turning the drizzle into an asset of the photos, not a setback. (“Kissing under an umbrella is dreamy!” she insisted. She was right.) The entire family will be forever grateful to Amanda for capturing the necessary shots in a blissfully short amount of time (click, click, click, “Got it! Next!” were heaven to our ears). She fit in seamlessly with the bridal party, putting everyone at ease and drawing out the best from us. She was even great with our notoriously difficult to photograph mutts, who of course simply had to be part of the wedding."
