About

Creative and Intimate Wedding Photography For My LGBTQ Family And Our Allies.


My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you see you, and then capture it in awesome photos. No awkward posing or fake smiles required. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself.

Though I’m based in Atlanta, it is my mission to photograph a wedding in every state. I’ve also got a wicked National Park landscape photography habit, and a love for film photography.

So come see the world through my eyes. And see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

I can’t wait to hear from you.

Amanda is the best!

Amanda does absolutely amazing work. Our friends and family can’t get over how stunning our wedding photos are and neither can we. Amanda is also a joy to work with and so professional and organized.

Best photographer ever!

Amanda Summerlin is quite literally the best wedding photographer there is. She brings the whole package: breathtaking pictures (duh), humor to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, a calm demeanor, great service pre and post wedding, and so much more. My wife and I booked Amanda as our photographer a little less than a year out from our wedding. She made the planning process super easy and flexible. We had several check-ins scheduled as we got closer to our event, which made coordinating with her a breeze. She is very communicative and goes out of her way for her clients. With every conversation, Amanda carefully listens to your vision for the day and is open to chatting through logistics so that things run smoothly. She takes it upon herself to get to know you via video chat and social media in order to inform her art on your special day. She is also very easy to get along with and has the ability to stay calm and help calm others even in stressful situations.

One super exciting thing about Amanda is that she travels in the upper 48 for no charge to you. So, seriously, anyone in the nation can book Amanda. Amanda is based out of Atlanta, Georgia and she travelled to Boston for our wedding. She also arrives to your location with plenty of time for her to check out the locations for photos the day before your big day. My wife and I felt at ease and in the hands of a true artist with a plan on our day. We scheduled a “first look” prior to our ceremony and it flew by. I absolutely dread having my picture taken or being the center of attention, yet Amanda was able to make both of us feel relaxed in front of the camera and made the time feel fun, playful, and just wonderful--everything you would want from a photographer on your big day.

One thing that we really appreciated was Amanda’s ability to capture our unique ceremony. We had a total of 25 guests at our wedding. Having theatre backgrounds, my wife and I decided to stage our ceremony in the round (i.e. everyone stood in a circle around us). You could imagine that this might be challenging to photograph and capture fully. However, you would never know that it was a challenge from Amanda’s ability to photograph it. Both my wife and I didn’t even know where she was during most of it and seeing the photos afterwards, we were absolutely blown away. Some of our favorite pictures actually came out of little moments from our ceremony.

Another thing about Amanda is that she brings her authenticity to her art and what she captures on your day. She captured moments throughout our day that were not posed or planned and they are absolutely stunning. She was able to capture our love in ways weren’t expecting.

After our wedding, we received our photos in a timely manner-- actually, much faster than we were expecting! Amanda works fast and the impressive part about that is the quality of what she delivers does not suffer. In the short time that we were waiting for our gallery, Amanda kindly provided us with little sneak peeks… and, of course, with each one we couldn’t wait to see the rest. She truly captured our day and our love perfectly. We are absolutely thrilled with our photos.

We would 100% hands down refer anyone we know to hire Amanda as their wedding photographer. She delivers on so many levels and continues to deliver to this day. If we were to ever need another photographer for an event, we would hire Amanda in a heartbeat.

Let me tell you why Amanda Summerlin is THE BEST.

When my husband and I first got engaged and started the beginning stages of our wedding planning, we knew we had to book Amanda Summerlin asap. She had photographed both of my sisters’ weddings and we knew we had to have her document our wedding too. We had high expectations for Amanda because she had done such a phenomenal job with my sisters’ weddings, and let me tell you… she exceeded our very high expectations in every way!!! She is such an artist and captures the big and small moments in ways that will either make you cry or laugh (or both!) when you see them. She captures a whole range of emotions in the room (whether it be tears of joy or laughter) and does it in such an unobtrusive way that you don’t even notice she is there. The way Amanda works with lighting and plays with background/foreground is simply stunning and with every photo she just impressed us more and more. We booked our ceremony and reception sites because of the incredible scenery and views — she captured all of this beauty too, even more than we thought was possible. We were also shocked how quickly she turned around the finished photos. We’ve been able to show friends and family our photos and many have told us that they could be photos from a bridal magazine.

In addition to the quality you will get with Amanda, you are getting an incredible value. She gives you full access and rights to her photographs, which many photographers do not do. And she has no limit to the number of pictures she takes! I mean, what more could you ask for? How about this… a nice, pleasant, easy, reliable, professional person to work with? Well guess what, you’ll get that too with Amanda!

I can’t imagine a wedding in our family without Amanda. She is a pleasure to work with and made the planning process and day-of so easy. We cannot recommend her enough!
