About

Our start in wedding photography came from wanting to be the photographers we couldn't find for our own wedding.

We're a husband and wife team that isn't wedding obsessed. We don't swoon over the perfect flowers, a gorgeous dress, or a snappy bow tie. We are lighting obsessed. We love the perfect moment, gorgeous emotion, and snappy dance moves.

We both have younger siblings, and we've come to love being the responsible ones. We like being the planner, the ones that takes care of the most important details. We want to ensure that everyone else only has to worry about having a good time. We like to the be the calm ones in a storm. This is why we love wedding photography. We love the pressure, the expectation, and the responsibility. We love the challenge of capturing every detail, and anticipating every important moment.

Amanda and Eric are TOP NOTCH! I am so glad we hired them for our wedding day. We also did an engagement session with them in which they were extremely helpful in making suggestions for locations and ideas for our pictures. The day of the wedding things went so smoothly. The two of them are so organized and have group photos down to a science. I was shocked at how quickly we had finished with our group/family photos. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is looking for a photographer.

Perfect Wedding Photos!

Amanda Beside Eric Photography was a big part of the perfect Wedding Day for our Daughter Stephanie and Son-in-law Tim on Saturday, October 30, 2021! We first began working with Amanda and Eric over two years ago when the wedding planning began. The wedding was postponed twice due to Covid. Amanda and Eric were always kind, flexible and professional in working with us on the wedding date changes. Both were calm and reassuring throughout the process, which was greatly needed and appreciated. Amanda and Eric came totally prepared for the big day and were timely at multiple locations, extremely organized, and respectful of everyone. In addition to being professional, they are also really kind people and a pleasure to work with. The resulting photos are perfect! They are beautiful and reflect Amanda and Eric’s expert artistry, attention to detail, and their passion for their work. To top off our wonderful experience with Amanda Beside Eric Photography, their prices are very reasonable. Our Daughter’s dream Wedding Day was simply a perfect day none of us will ever forget, and we are grateful to Amanda and Eric for their part in making it so. Their work-of-art photos will ensure we can remember every detail of that special day. We are so glad we chose Amanda Beside Eric Photography!

Highly Recommend

Amanda and Eric were recommended to us by (multiple) friends who used them and/or been to weddings they worked. After a brief chat, we loved their personalities, demeanor, and professionalism. They immediately put us at ease with knowledge and friendliness! They offer multiple packages, and we found one that worked perfectly for our timeline. The packages include an engagement photo session, which we highly recommend as well. Amanda and Eric used the engagement session to give us tips and advice for photos on the day of the wedding and really helped us get comfortable with being photographed. We received our wedding photos very quickly and absolutely loved them all - everything was captured, even the smallest of moments between family and friends. Their organization and planning will put you at ease. We loved having them be a part of our wedding day and highly recommend Amanda and Eric!

There are so many words to describe this talented team...yet none of them really captures the magic of working with Amanda and Eric. When they share the finished product of an event with us...I see moments captured and I don't remember either of them being near us at that point in time! It is always a treat with we work together. I highly recommend Amanda and Eric and I can't wait for our next wedding together. Michelle Gillespie, owner Occasions By M&K

There aren't enough adjectives to accurately describe how amazing Amanda and Eric are. I've had the pleasure of working with them on quite a few weddings, and it always puts a huge smile on my face when I learn they're the photographers. They don't miss a thing, have a ton of creative ideas and suggestions for poses, and their photographs are fantabulous! On top of all this awesomeness, their turn-around time getting the photographs to you is lightening quick! Highly, highly, highly recommend Amanda Beside Eric Photography for ANY event, but especially a wedding.
