Unbeliveable artist

PICK AMANDA. Prioritize her without hesitation. There are no words for how grateful we are. We are just absolutely BLOWN AWAY and love the photos more than we could have possibly imagined. She was unbelievably organized with a 28 person bridal party and kept everything on track. She also made quick pivots as needed to get us all the shots we wanted. I will seriously be thanking her for the rest of our life for the best gift we could have asked for. We have so many photos to love and cherish as works of art for our house and our family. Ended up with 200 favorites on just the first pass through lol.

I mean truly, she was the single best investment we made.

Amanda did a wonderful job

My wife Tanya and I used Amanda and her team in June 2022. She was absolutely incredible to work with from the moment we hired her. Amanda was so pleasant to communicate with, and always prompt. After getting to know us, she helped us coordinate our ideal location and general theme for our engagement shoot (which can be included in a package with her), and despite being so busy, had those photos back to us incredibly quickly. As the wedding day got closer, she was so helpful in taking to-do items off our plate. Through conversations with us, she was again able to arrange for the perfect plan for us. On wedding day, she navigated a very busy downtown Chicago with incredible precision, professionalism, and skill, allowing us to get incredible shots in prime positions. During our ceremony and reception, she and her partner did an extraordinary job of capturing our moments without ever seeming like they were in the way. Finally, Amanda gave us sneak peak images the night of our wedding. We don’t know how she does it! Our friends and family rave about how amazing Amanda was to this day. We would recommend any couples planning their wedding to seriously consider Amanda Miller. We are so happy with the results we had with her!

Classic AF

Amanda is a phenomenal photographer. She is wonderful to work with and delivers beautiful images. But her talent goes way beyond that. She is the ultimate hype man. She will go hard for you and your day. She has an amazing sense of style and can provide advice well beyond photography. She meant so much to us throughout our wedding journey. In the midst of COVID, she bought into our dream of going to Paris for engagement photos. I never wanted engagement photos, but my planner highly recommended them, so I figured, if I was going to do them, I wanted them to be epic. Amanda DELIVERED. And my planner was right. It allowed us to get to know Amanda, and for her to know our awkward non-PDA selves. When the wedding rolled around, one thing I was not worried about was our photos. As soon as Amanda walked in the room, I was immediately put at ease. She is so on top of things that I knew she wouldn’t let anything go wrong. I loved every minute of our day, and I’m so glad we got to share those times with Amanda. And that her incredible skill was able to capture them for us to relive forever through her photos. She is unparalleled in capturing those special, heartfelt moments. Our whole wedding party loved her. Friends that have never liked a wedding photographer, couldn’t stop gushing about her. I cannot recommend using Amanda enough for your wedding. We are honored to have had our day captured by her.

Amanda is Truly a Rockstar!

Amanda has a commanding presence and is so organized and agile, all qualities that are absolutely necessary with a wedding photographer. Amanda did our engagement shoot shortly after we booked for our wedding, allowing us to get a sense of what working with her on our wedding day would be like. We felt so comfortable with her from the start and loved our engagement shots. On our wedding day, Amanda was sooo incredibly efficient and on task, that everything felt that it went so smoothly to us--Im sure there were hiccups in getting all the shots needed, but I wouldn't have known. Amanda also has stuck to her contract throughout the process, sending us sneak peeks for us to have the day after our wedding and delivering our whole wedding album to us weeks prior to when the contract stated. She is incredibly reliable, which can't be said of all photographers. Trusting her to capture our biggest day yet was the best decision, and I look forward to booking Amanda for any future photography needs we have.

Incredible!!

Like so many others our original wedding plans got derailed. We just kind of wanted to have it behind us in the fall of 2020 and decided to plan a wedding in Chicago in three weeks. Our original photographer was willing to come into town and shoot our wedding, but our local wedding planner (Carly at Lola planning-also incredible) recommended we use someone who knew our event space well. She said in normal times Amanda wouldn’t be available, but with everything up in the air it was worth a shot. This was the single best decision we made. The photos are stunning and more precious to us than I will ever be able to properly explain. To say that Amanda knew the space is an understatement. She knew every angle, lighting, how to coordinate people flawlessly. She was the ultimate professional and just completely delightful. I’m only sad we didn’t have more time getting to know her as you would planning a more normal wedding. But luckily I get to keep up with her and her adorable family via insta. If you are lucky enough to get an opportunity to hire this great gal-JUMP ON IT!

Hiring Amanda was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Hiring Amanda was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Her aesthetic and quality of work absolutely speak for themselves. Our pictures are amazing, and we’ve received so many compliments!

But where Amanda really stands out is the presence she brings to the wedding day. She was a true professional – organized, prepared, regimented – all while being the ultimate hypewoman throughout the wedding and in the weeks after. She immediately established a leadership role to keep everyone, wedding party and vendors included, on schedule, and her experience was invaluable for ensuring that everything was executed flawlessly.

An exact quote from a wedding guest: “Whatever you paid her, it was worth it.” If you can book Amanda, you should – early! We couldn’t imagine someone working harder.

The BEST wedding photographer!!

I can't speak highly enough about Amanda and highly recommend her to any newly engaged couples searching for the perfect wedding photographer! We searched for a wedding photographer that would match our needs, personalities and taste. Amanda checked all three boxes as a reliable, professional photographer. She communicated frequently and often and worked with with our wedding planner and vendors.

Best photographer!!!

Amanda is truly the best! From her esthetic, professionalism, eye for detail, communication and just overall vibe...you can't find better! We were so beyond happy with all of our photos. Not only that, but we got our pictures back SO FAST. Just from hearing friends' past experiences, I thought it would be a few months, but I think it was like less than a month!!! I've already recommended Amanda to all of our friends...and I honestly didn't even have to because once they saw our photos they wanted to know who are photographer was! Choosing a photographer was one of the first things we did in our planning process because the pictures were so important to us and we could not be happier with the outcome!!!!

The BEST Photographer!

Hiring Amanda as our wedding photographer was without a doubt one of the single best wedding decisions we made! We literally cannot say enough good things about her! Amanda is an extremely talented photographer and she turned around our entire gallery of wedding photos in record time (i.e. days) with each photo more chic and stunning than the last. She was also one of the few wedding vendors who made my life as a bride EASIER. She reached out proactively, was incredibly timely with responses to any of my questions, offered helpful suggestions on locations/best choices for photos and reached out to me and my planners about key wedding related topics as the time arose. On the wedding day itself she kept an eye on timeline, was able to direct the bridal party and family and capture everything in record time despite freezing outdoor temperatures. She even scaled a bridge (in a dress!) to get some iconic shots for us. Amanda is truly amazing, the ultimate professional and the absolute best choice for a photographer hands down. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing experience - highly recommend!

We had an international wedding scheduled and due to Covid we had to plan an intimate wedding in Chicago in less than 2 months. Amanda was quick to reply and extremely professional. It ended up downpouring the entire day of our wedding and Amanda had backup plans ready. She was extremely efficient and truly captured the coziness, intimacy, emotions, and vibe of the day. We also loved the videos and teaser pictures that she posted on Instagram! We are so thrilled with how the photos turned out. We couldn't recommend her more!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
