Wedding Photography

I could go on and on about Amanda!!!

I am a bride who does not love photo shoots and was nervous about feeling posed for a ton of pictures! Amanda took the time to get to know me and my vision and made everything SO MUCH FUN! I could not stop smiling! She was efficient, adaptable, and knew exactly what needed to be done to capture the best photos. She was also very affordable. I could not recommend Amanda more. She made my wedding day absolutely perfect. I now will have photos for a lifetime that I am so happy with and that did not feel like a chore getting done :). Amanda is amazing!!!

Captured every moment perfectly

Amanda is truly exceptional! She did a fabulous job photographing our wedding at 2941 Restaurant. From our very first meeting, she was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful—taking the time to understand exactly what we hoped to capture on our special day.
Amanda guided us through the process, explained what to expect, and made sure every important moment—especially our unforgettable first look—was beautifully documented. The photos of my husband and me are stunning, emotional, and timeless. We are forever grateful to Amanda for capturing the joy and love of our day so perfectly. Highly recommend! Kelly Tompkins

Joy to work with!

Amanda was probably my favorite among the vendors I hired for my small wedding. She has a really positive and soothing demeanor, which made working with her a joy. She communicates proactively, often reaching out ahead of time as deadlines approach. And she knows her stuff! She has done so many events at our venue (2941) that she helped tweak our timelines before we had an initial meeting with our coordinator. She was an expert in knowing all of the right spots and angles to capture us at our best.

Just perfect!

Beautiful photos were one of our priorities and Amanda delivered! We didn’t want to stress the planning and Amanda walked us through timing of photos to make sure we got the photos we wanted but didn’t miss out on our celebration. Once we booked her we were able to check off photography from our “to do” list and not worry about it. You can’t go wrong with Amanda her photography is beautiful and the process was easy, stress free and fun.

Experienced, Professional, Reliable, Detail-Oriented!

We loved working with Amanda for our Engagement Photos and for our wedding. She did a great job making us feel comfortable and was knowledgeable about locations (for engagement shoot). She did a great job selecting images and was very responsive with my edits. For the wedding, she unfortunately had a medical issue a few days before the wedding and promptly called me and my coordinator to inform us, with a back-up plan already lined up. To ensure full coverage of the wedding, she had a second photographer come, just in case. Trust me, we got all the images we could hope for! She was also flexible when a week or two before the wedding we wanted to add an hour to our time for the wedding day. She got the photos back to us in a timely manner and did a great job with the little edits we requested (tan line removal). She also captured a hilarious moment when my relative decided to try to pet a Koi fish, which really brought me joy. She helped us create a custom album and it is beautiful. Would HIGHLY recommend working with her! I hope to have her take photos for us again!

Great experience

This was a second marriage for my husband and I. We had planned a smaller wedding and were looking for a photographer who could do family photos and capture candids. Amanda understood exactly what we wanted and we couldn’t have asked for better pictures. She was so friendly and we received compliments from our guests on how fun she made photos fun. You can’t go wrong with Lux Photography.

Great Photographer!

Amanda photographed my wedding in July 2021 and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s both easy to work with and talented. I really didn’t know what portraits I wanted but Amanda is a pro and took charge of the pre-ceremony photo shoot. The more than 200 shots we got back afterwards are beautiful. She’s an expert at lighting, especially. And when I requested she edit several images to remove a social distancing floor decal, the fix was invisible. We’re very happy!

Perfect Photos!

We decided to change our plans from a big wedding to a small wedding with only a handful of family in attendance due to Covid. Amanda was flexible and worked with us. We still wanted fantastic photos and she delivered. While the day wasn’t a exactly as we had planned initially our photos were everything we hoped for.

Our Special Day

Amanda and her assistant did an amazing job capturing our engagement session as well as our special day from our ceremony to our reception. The process to choose our photos for our photo album was super easy as well and Ananda made it even easier to decide what pics looked best. I definitely recommend her for your next special event whether it’s for a wedding or family pics, you can’t go wrong.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
