Amanda was an absolute pleasure to work with. Having worked professionally with photographers for years, Amanda’s thoughtfulness, thoroughness and attention to every detail was so appreciated. From the start, she made us feel so special, and was extremely conscious of what we were looking for and what we were about as a couple. After we met, we were so excited to start working with her, and being ourselves around her was effortless. She heard our concerns and wishes, she was super aware of the style and shots we were looking for. For both the engagement shoot and the wedding day, she gave us options and listened, but was willing to give direction and be mindful of the things we were looking for—we were looking for a romantic style that captured the fun, intimacy and closeness that we share. She captured us so well. I couldn’t speak highly enough of her, her professionalism, her aesthetic, or her presence. It was such a pleasure to work with her, but more just to have her around. While we wanted a friend to be there, it didn’t take long before we found comfort and friendship in Amanda. She is such a stellar talent, and we couldn’t speak more highly of our experience with her.

Amanda jumped in at the last moment to shoot for our wedding! We can't thank her enough for being party of our big day on such short notice. She is so sweet! She's very flexible especially on the hectic day of! She helped guide us along the timeline. She took any photos we asked her to even when we were running behind schedule. She was very accommodating!

I would recommend booking Amanda for your engagement and wedding photography. Amanda was a fantastic photographer who captured stunning images around Fells Point in Baltimore for our engagement session and in Harbor East Baltimore for our wedding day. Amanda's photos speak for themselves (high quality, beautiful lighting, natural poses) but I can attest to her terrific personality, professionalism, prompt responses to emails, and enthusiasm for your wedding day. Amanda was such a wonderful presence to have in our lives during the wedding planning process and on the day of we were glad to have her and her second shooter (who was also very professional) there. On both occasions (engagement and wedding) Amanda delivered photos very promptly. It was fun to see the blog posts and social media teasers about the wedding. Amanda is definitely engaged in the wedding photography industry as a small business owner, which is a perk to her clients because she shares a lot of resources and is motivated to put out beautiful content. Definitely try to book Amanda if she is available! Thank you, Amanda, for capturing our images <3 We miss you already!

I knew Amanda was someone special from the moment I received our first e-mail communication. Her energy and excitement about what she does shone through her words and interactions. I was super nervous about picking a photographer, but Amanda made it so easy. Her pictures are so authentic, soft and stunning. I received so many compliments on both my engagement and wedding photos. Her packaging, portal for her clients, e-mails and interactions are professional and organized. She puts so much effort and heart into each of her clients- you can see it via her social media, her blog, her workshops for her brides and her packaging. She even displayed her computer at our reception with day of photos which we loved, as well as passed out cards with our photo website to our family and friends! We are so happy we chose Amanda and would highly recommend her to any couple!

Amanda was AMAZING! She is the sweetest person and is so knowledgeable about what she does! She made us feel so comfortable with all of our photos we took and made us laugh which was so nice with all of the stress a wedding can put on you! I would recommend her to anyone and cannot express how appreciative we are to have had her on our special day!

We love Amanda! I knew I wanted Amanda as our wedding photographer after I met with her at Starbucks. She will willing to do the elopement package for us because we had a small wedding on a Tuesday evening. She did an amazing job with our engagement pictures, even suggesting places we should go. She also held a Coffee and Calligraphy event for all of her brides, where we learned calligraphy, ate bagels and coffee and got to know each other and talk about wedding planning. Amanda braved the 90 degree heat on our wedding day and was awesome at creating a timeline for four hours of coverage to include our ceremony and the important people in our family. Thank you, Amanda, for everything!!

Amanda Adams is amazing! I'm SO glad I chose to book her for my engagement session, pre-wedding bridal shoot, and my wedding day. She was super sweet, and it was so easy to work with her. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable being photographed, and we had a blast with her! I LOVED the natural, soft look of our photographs; that was super important to me, and I was certainly not disappointed. She was so thorough when explaining her costs, services, and the options that were available to me. She provided a questionnaire before each photo session which really gave her an idea of my vision for our photographs before working with us. I would highly recommend doing a bridal session with her! It was a perfect opportunity to get dolled up before the big day; I scheduled my hair and make up trial on the same day as my bridal shoot (which I would also strongly encourage)! The bridal shoot allowed her to capture tons of photos of me in my gown instead of fitting that into the timeline of our wedding day. If you're considering booking her, do it! You won't be disappointed :-)

Amanda was an absolute pleasure to work with for our engagement session and wedding. Her pictures are stunning. The light airiness that she's able to capture is just beautiful and allows her photos to have a dreamy feel. She has a special eye for capturing the most beautiful details of your day that you would have otherwise missed. The entire process of working with her was such a breeze! She provides so much information on what to expect, how to prepare, and other useful tips. I'm so thrilled that she was able to capture our special day and that we have beautiful photos to help us remember how amazing that day really was! Thanks again Amanda for your beautiful work!!

I had the pleasure to work with Amanda for maternity shoot. She is an awesome photographer and made the client feel at ease. She didn't get in my way while I was doing hair and makeup and was easy to work with and get input from her. I would love to work with her again.

I have had the opportunity to meet and watch Amanda and her staff capture precious moments during a wedding at Ocean Hall. If you want a photographer who is sweet as they come, easy with whom to work, and great photos-- talk with Amanda. She took photos all around the property and house. Love the family pictures and random shots during the reception. But the photos of the couple actually gave me goose bumps-- yes, they were that good!
