About

I’m Amanda (she/they), an inclusive wedding photographer who specializes in intimate weddings, elopements, adventure weddings, and working with the queer community.

You are I are going to begin our photography collaboration a little differently - by talking about how this process is not only about the photos, but also about how you feel. While I care deeply about creating beautiful images, I care more about you! My approach to photography is holistic - I want you to feel seen, included, and celebrated - and I want the act of being photographed to feel sustainable for you, not forced.

I’ve spent nine years creating clean and honest images celebrating love, and have been told that I am the photographer for people who hate being photographed.

This business is queer owned, champions Black and Brown lives, embraces both monogamous and ethically non-monogamous love, and welcomes neurodivergent minds.

She is the best.

I don’t even have my photos back yet and I know they are going to be the most wonderful wedding photos I could have imagined. Amanda is a lovely and easy-to-work with person who really knew how to get the show on the road while managing to capture all the moments. She went above and beyond for us and seamlessly fit in with our eclectic group of individuals. So many of my guests commented on how awesome she is. She helped us achieve our vision and I would say it would be insane not to hire her for your wedding. She even did the limbo! Thank you!!

Perfect Photos with a Side of Joy and Happiness

Amanda DeBusk is, without a doubt, the greatest wedding photographer in Indiana. Amanda not only perfectly captured our wedding ceremony and reception for us to remember our big day for years to come, but her spirit, demeanor, and professionalism added significantly to the energy throughout the day, making it extremely joyful. Amanda's approach to planning made the process feel so smooth and light-hearted, but I know she took it very seriously with the way the photos turned out. We would hire Amanda over and over again.

Simply Amazing

Amanda was amazing to work with. She got all our requested shots, posed us, and took candid photos. She gave us a few pictures right after the wedding to satiate us while editing. She even climbed in a tree over the water to get sunset photos of us in a boat. You will not be disappointed if you choose, Amanda!

Your new favorite photos, for sure.

Amanda is everything I needed to capture cherished photos of my husband and I. For a husband that dreads having his photo taken, Amanda was able to get him to loosen up and captured some of my favorite photos ever. Coming from an event professional, I have a wide net to cast for using photographers. Amanda is a top choice out of all of those options. Her charisma, approach, and friendliness paired with a talented eye, well practiced technique, and love for her work made our shoots a joy. Her pictures will be your new social media profile picture and your cell phone background, guaranteed. Thanks, Amanda!

Kind, Funny, Talented Photographer!

Amanda was so amazing! From the first moment we spoke, she listened to my thoughts and wants and helped capture them all so beautifully. Even when I was feeling stressed about rushing through family photos - she calmed me and took care of it all! I highly recommend Amanda - she provides excellent service, has a fun upbeat personality and was a great person to have photograph our wedding.

I cannot say enough positive things about Amanda or recommend her highly enough. I have been working with her since my engagement photos and I only fall more and more in love with her work. Spending my wedding day with her was one of the most fun things I have ever gotten to do. Amanda will make you feel comfortable, make you laugh, smile, dance around, and forget that you are having your picture taken all while capturing some of the most amazing shots you have ever seen. My husband and I both have HUGE families and she did the best job at rallying everyone together for a massive amount of family photos and kept everything moving. I felt calm and happy all day with Amanda by my side. I can’t wait to have another excuse to get photos taken and to work with her. Her creativity, kindness, eye for beauty, and insane talent are unmatched.

Amanda is not only the absolute best to work with, but the photos are stunningly beautiful and perfectly captured our personalities. You will leave your first meeting with Amanda feeling like she is your best friend because her kindness and excitement is infectious. She made our engagement session so fun and comfortable, especially for my photo-disliking fiancée. I cannot explain how in love with the photos I am. She did an amazing job capturing our quiet side, but also our goofy silly side. The photos are beautiful and natural looking, which is exactly what I wanted. I cannot wait to spend our wedding day with Amanda and have her capture all of our special moments! I cannot recommend her enough.

Stop looking for a wedding photographer, she’s the one. Seriously. Your pictures will look like they came straight from Pinterest. Amanda is a creative genius!

Specifically, she is able to direct large groups of people in an organized manner to capture beautiful moments. She had my rambunctious bridal party attending to directions within seconds with quick and witty humor. My wedding pictures are stunning and my guests continue to comment on how amazing Amanda was. Plus, girl knows how to tear up a dance floor with brides!

If she ever decides to capture maternity moments or newborn photos, I’m in. I call dibs!

We could not have been more comfortable during our portraits. We absolutely love our pictures.

-Katie and Patrick

Wait until you see how she captures your dress, shoes and rings- and your special moments!

Amanda is an amazing photographer! She is so outgoing, friendly & sweet! My husband & I had a totally awesome time during our engagement photos. And our pictures turned out much better than we ever could have hoped! During our wedding Amanda was amazing checking in to see if we wanted pictures with people not on our list. She gave great orders and got us through a very cold outdoors photo session on the monument with the entire bridal party. And when Amanda was finally finished taking pictures towards the end of the evening, she joined us out on the dance floor!!

Amanda DeBusk is a wonderful photographer! A dear friend and because of her I have enrolled in Photography School. You can have amazing wedding but she will take your experience and make it so much richer! Thank you Amanda for making our day so extra special and awesome!

Amanda was amazing! From the moment we met her, she was on top of everything. She was extremely easy going and professional. She was genuinely excited for us. The day of, Amanda was ahead of schedule, super calming and a blast! She was really efficient with taking all of the pictures we wanted and went with the flow to capture the spur of the moment ones. During the reception, she was so much fun. All of our guests raved about how much fun she was having on the dance floor and said it made them want to go out and have a good time with her! After just a few weeks, Amanda has our pictures completely done. They were incredible. We have received so many compliments from friends, family, and strangers. All in all, working with Amanda was fantastic. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
