Amanda photographed my partner and I's elopement ceremony in Bend and was able to accommodate us last minute. (long story) She was so thoughtful and invested in the best possible outcome.

It was a smokey day in late July and we originally had Sparks Lake in mind. Amanda drove up ahead of our scheduled time to find that it was too smokey to be ideal and instead recommended that we pivot destinations and head for Smith Rock. She had friends who live just outside of the entrance and they were able to confirm that the skies were clear before we made our way up there.

During the shoot, Amanda was so fun to work with and made it a really enjoyable experience. She was happy to ensure that specific shots that we were hoping for were covered during the shoot. The photos turned out phenomenally and she even delivered them to us sooner than she told us to expect. A+ experience. Cannot recommend Amanda enough!

We first met Amanda when she photographed our friends’ wedding, where we were in the wedding party. She was so great at keeping the chaos organized that we asked if she would be willing to photograph a wedding in California. We were sure she thought it was a joke, until we actually hired her to travel to our wedding. Our experience as members of the wedding party was memorable, and our experience as bride and groom exceeded every expectation. Because of the distance, we fussed around with zoom meetings in preparation and sent as many venue photos as possible, knowing that there would be almost no time for a tour of the venue prior to the event. But we never felt more comfortable leading up to the wedding. With Amanda, not only do you get a rockstar photographer, you get an experienced professional who understands the emotion and lifelong importance of every moment of a wedding. We received tons and tons of unsolicited positive feedback from our closest family and friends about Amanda. She was a constant source of support and positivity throughout the weekend. My only regret is that we live so far apart, if we could, we would have Amanda photograph all of our future family photos (we’re done having weddings though…one is enough).

Also, huge special shoutout to Edith. Edith was Amanda’s assistant photographer for the event and met us only the day before the wedding. We knew right away that we had the best team possible for our important day. Edith and Amanda worked seamlessly together, and Edith handled our “unique” family and friends with ease. You both are very special and will forever be part of our fondest memory 😊

My partner and I decided to get the elopement package at FivePine Lodge in Sisters OR for our wedding in December, and they sent us a list of photographers we could use. We looked at Amanda's Instagram and instantly knew she was the perfect one for us (someone who uses pronouns on their profile goes a long way. We knew we were safe and well respected...not to mention stunning photos and a price we could afford). From day one of meeting Amanda we felt completely at ease and taken care of. We decided to have her do our engagement photo shoot as well. Both experiences went well beyond our expectations. Amanda's ability to provide clear and helpful direction throughout the shoot was unmatched by anyone else we've worked with. She is able to find the perfect light, the perfect angles, and unique setting to create images that speak to who you truly are. Not only was she the perfect photographer for us, but she took the time to offer heart felt support throughout our special day, and helpful direction on little details we hadn't even thought of. Our hearts lit up and tears filled our eyes when we we saw our photos. I felt like a winter faery Goddess, and my love finally felt his truest self was reflected here. Our most authentic selves were able to shine through because of Amanda's ability to capture us and our love so beautifully and truthfully. It was everything my love and I wanted and more. She made our wedding dreams come true, and our day so very special. We can't recommend her enough!
