We are so happy that Amanda was our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. We were blown away with how incredible our engagement photos came out and knew our wedding photos were going to be amazing. Amanda has a very calming presence and a very high attention to detail. Even many of our guests commented that our pictures are going to look amazing because of her attention to the tiniest things when taking our photos. You will not regret booking Amanda as your photographer.

Working alongside Amanda Gilley Photography was such a dream from start to finish. Her communication style is effortless — organized, approachable, and genuinely fun — which made the day feel easy and seamless for everyone involved. Her work is the perfect blend of artistry and authenticity; every image feels intentional and full of emotion. Amanda kept the photo timeline flowing beautifully, jumped in with helpful suggestions, and somehow managed to capture every moment without ever feeling intrusive. Truly a joy to work with, and I can’t wait for the next wedding we get to share a team on.

Sometimes vendors' families have weddings, too - we HIGHLY recommend Amanda Gilley to capture your wedding day! From the first meeting at our engagement shoot, we felt immediately how easy she is to talk to and really puts you at ease so you can look your best in every picture. She last worked at our venue several years ago, but she will reassure you that she will get the scoop on the venue and where the best locations are for various things (like a first look, couple/wedding party/family portraits, etc.). We were really impressed with her photo quality especially with how competitive her packages can be compared to others in the DMV region. You will be in great hands if you choose Amanda!

Amanda truly committed to capturing DREAM photos of my snowy BLIZZARD March wedding. She is calm cool & collected through and through. Just what a bride needs to be around on her big day. I couldn’t recommend her more. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE

We were recommended to use Amanda through a friend and we are so glad we did! Amanda has such a calm, sweet and sincere demeanor. We first met her at our engagement picture shoot and we planned to only do an hour, but Amanda wanted to make sure we had the best possible photos and we ended up staying 2 hours! On our Wedding Day-Amanda was the true MVP. She helped keep me calm and made sure we stuck to the schedule. Her and her second photographer worked so seamlessly together and we know they got the coolest shots. Amanda is beyond a wedding photographer. She offers advice, insight, and even bustled my dress for me! We are so excited to see our wedding photos! We will definitely use Amanda again in the future!

Amanda was absolutely outstanding! Not only did she do An amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos, but helped with my large wedding dress during the big day. She posed me and my husband and our entire wedding party with ease and was so easy to work with. Thank you!!

Not only is Amanda such an amazing wedding photographer. She is SO sweet, calm, and sincere. If you are feeling stressed on your big day she makes you feel calm. She thinks of all the possible options for photos so you don't have to do the thinking. If you are running late, don't worry she has a backup plan. She gets right in with the party yet you don't even realize she's there. It was SO hard to narrow down our pictures to use in our wedding album because her photos are just THAT good.

We worked with Amanda for our wedding. She is so nice and chill, the exact vibe we were hoping for. Everyone felt comfortable throughout our wedding and nothing felt awkward or forced. Amanda was able to accommodate our budget and was super flexible about everything throughout the process. Our coordinator highlighted how amazing Amanda was to work with. She is the best!

Amanda is not just a photographer we hired, we feel we made a friend. My wedding was the third photography event we used Amanda for and I have already told all of my family and friends not to worry about hunting for a photographer. When planning a wedding, you are meeting with a lot of vendors, some for the same thing to get the best one, and some for other things. Some will be great and some will drive you up a wall. Not only did we not have to beg for a response, complain about a shoot or have any reservations, but Amanda went out of her way to coordinate with the other pieces of this big day to make sure we had nothing to worry about.

We met with Amanda before the wedding at a Panera and she talked us through her packages and showed us these beautiful photo albums. The first event was our "Save the Date" Shoot. We met at National Harbor and she was taking us around to all these phenomenal locations. Next, on to Brooklyn, NY for the engagement shoot. That's right, we took her to Brooklyn where we got engaged and even then, it was as if she'd been there for years taking pictures. I was born in NY and she was taking me to spots I'd never been to capture spectacular photos of the New York City sunrise (and us).

Last but not least, the wedding. Naturally she stayed with the Bride but I had the pleasure of working with her assistant who was also very talented. At the reception there were a lot of intricate moving parts as it was a cultural wedding. During some of these moments, I looked to make sure that everything was captured. After looking around frantically to make sure these moments weren't missed, there's Amanda, on a chair, in the center of the dance floor snapping picture after picture.

There is a difference between successfully fulfilling a contract and being happy with photos and what Amanda offers. We have made a friend and will be using her over and over again. Even if we have to just throw parties for her to shoot. My wife and I would recommend Amanda to anyone not only looking for amazing photos that are meant to last a lifetime, but also looking for someone who cares about their work and making sure you're genuinely happy.

We absolutely loved working with Amanda!! We booked her two years before our wedding and she was incredibly responsive and helpful with everything leading up to the big day. My husband hates getting his picture taken and he instantly felt more comfortably when we took our engagement photos with Amanda. On the wedding day itself, Amanda showed up exactly when she said she would and made the picture process so easy and fun! She was a huge part of our day! She is so sweet and an incredibly talented photographer. I would without a doubt recommend her service!
