About

I'm so glad you're here!

I believe in keeping things simple. The heart of my business is to love and serve others well. I know that a hug from grandma can be just as important as your walk down the aisle and I dream about the day you’ll show your own grandchildren the photos I take. My goal is that, no matter how much time passes, you’ll always remember the way you felt on your wedding day. I feel the weight of that responsibility each time I pick up my camera and I promise to put my whole heart into each photo I take.

My heart beats for the in-between moments. The tears and laughter and hugs and gratitude. The real stuff that isn’t staged or posed. Those are the moments I look for and love documenting no matter the occasion.

When I’m not documenting a wedding or photographing a family, you can find me serving at my local church, traveling with my pup or reading a good book. I also have a huge heart for global missions and consider photography to be my ministry. I believe in using my business platform to bring glory to God with a mission to live and love like Jesus.

xo, Amanda

Exceeded Expectations on ALL Levels

Amanda has a talent of finding great light in sometimes dark situations, good/not too posed positions, and is passionate about her career. Amanda went with us to Amsterdam for a private ceremony and will also photograph our reception with family and friends post Covid-19. Beyond the quality of her craft, when planning a wedding, especially a destination elopement (like us) a vendor's responsiveness is key- and a huge deciding factor: Amanda always responds. Her overall nature and personality is calming and enthusiastic, without over-kill and she makes her client's feel comfortable. My husband is very much an introvert and Amanda did excellent coping with that aspect while also capturing intimate and beautiful moments from our wedding day. The timeliness and presentation of the the photos exceeded my expectations, and of course the product was amazing. I would definitely recommend Amanda for any event requiring photography, especially in "moody" locations- her willingness to travel and offer traveling for elopements is such an added bonus, I'm thrilled that all my "wedding" photos from home and abroad will have the same touch. She's great and easy to work with!

Photos of a lifetime

You dream of the perfect wedding and how all the little details that you put into planning will to life, but they wouldn't have been so incredibly brought to life if it wasn't for Amanda. We just got our wedding photos and are absolutely blown away by the love, laughter, and details that she captured, including the little things we didn't even know we needed. From the moment we started working with her, we knew we picked the right person. She is a light to be around and work with. She guided us from our engagement shoot all the way through our wedding exit with grace and laughter along with us. She guided us every step of the way, kept to our timeline allowing us to enjoy our cocktail hour, pulled us for our portraits when she knew it was going to rain so we didn't miss out on the photos we hoped to capture. She does it all. If you want the best, she is it! We love her and forever will have all our special moments documented with her blessed gift of an eye and art for photography. Thank you x a million.

Pictures we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

To say that we are obsessed with our wedding pictures would be an understatement. Amanda captured every moment of our day and we are so fortunate to have all these pictures to look back on. We had the best time with her through the entire day. She was up for running into the snow with us to capture some great moments. She was responsive with the questions we had and was just truly a joy to work with and have during the best day of our lives. I cannot recommend her enough. You will not regret it!

Amanda the Great

Amanda exceeded our expectations and brought our vision to life better than we ever imagined. Her eye, expertise and professionalism resulted in a flawless weekend and provided images that I can't even believe are real. Her collaborative approach, patience and calming presence throughout our entire wedding weekend was priceless. She and her team didn't miss a moment and with everything else going on, we didn't have to think about anything related to photography because we knew she had it covered. She is an absolute savant at her craft and was a true joy to work with.

Summit Avenue Wedding Photographer

Amanda was amazing, from beginning to end! I felt instantly connected to her profile/her passion for why she did what she did, so I chose her out of the list presented to me by my wedding planner almost immediately. Since that moment, she communicated and responded very well. She made me feel at peace. She was organized and prepared. In person, she was everything I expected - and more- and our pictures are sooooo lovely. She even sent us a USB and thank you card and printed a few pics out for us as well. Loved her! Grateful for her work and wisdom. Highly recommend Amanda!!!

Amanda exceeded all expectations!!

I cannot recommend Amanda enough!! My wedding photo book is like 250 pages with 1000+ photos because I couldn't decide which photos I liked the best. Every single photo Amanda took was unbelievable. Leading up to the wedding Amanda was super responsive and helpful. She worked with us on the timeline for the day and gave us her recommendations based on what she’s seen has worked best. On the day of the wedding, she was super efficient with her time which allowed us to not miss nearly any of our cocktail hour and reception, which was something that was really important to me and my husband. Also, for two people that are not used to taking a lot of photos, it felt so natural! Amanda took the most beautiful candid photos. And her price was spot on!!

Hire Amanda right now!

We loved, loved, loved having Amanda as our photographer. She was super fun to be around and- oh yeah- a world-class photographer. Living outside of NC, she was very knowledgeable of and guided us through several options for engagement photos, charting out the scenery and vibe for each. Once there, she was that special kind of photographer who could direct us where to stand, where to catch the best light, etc., without it necessarily even feeling like we were being photographed. It was easy, breezy fun, and we got some gorgeous pictures out of it. She was also a calming presence amid the frenzy of the wedding day- she knew where she'd be and when she'd be there. Overall, we couldn't recommend Amanda more and look forward to working with her again in the future.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
