What primary photographic style do you identify with?
I found Amanda on The Knot website. I started following her work on Facebook and Instagram and absolutely fell in love with her work. She captures such beautiful, romantic moments and our pictures literally made me cry (and these were just the preview pics). She directs you every step of the way so you know exactly what to do and don’t feel like an idiot standing around. She is precise and whipped thru all 917,927 pictures we wanted very efficiently and beautifully. Our family is like herding cats and she did an outstanding job getting us done with pictures. Her energy level is always at a constant 100% and keeps your guests and bridal party upbeat and ready to strike a pose. We couldn’t be more thrilled with Amanda or her amazing eye. She truly captured what I had envisioned. You won’t go wrong with her.

The Absolute BEST
Mkay was the best wedding vendor decision we made. She made the entire process so fun and beautiful - rain who? cold day who? We don't know her. Weather-anxious brides will love working with Mkay! Can't recommend her work enough to brides.

Best Decision We Made!
Mkay was AMAZING! We couldn't have asked for a more responsive, professional, and friendly photographer to capture the best day of our lives. We were so impressed by how easy and stress free she made the entire process. She sent us a dozen sneak peek images within 24 hours of the wedding and they are absolutely beautiful. We can't wait to see the rest of our pictures in a few weeks! We would highly recommend Photos by Mkay to anyone needing a photographer for any occasion. She is incredible!

Love you Andi! Thank you so much for the review, capturing your day was literally so amazing. Thank you for being so kind and running around with me taking pictures, can't wait to release the full album soon!!

Amazingly Detailed & A Lot of Fun!

Must Hire Photographer
Talk about energy, MK was the hype before walking down the aisle! My husband is definitely not a fan of pictures, and it takes a lot for him to take a picture, let alone smile for the camera, but let me tell you, there is a picture (several pictures) of him smiling! MK provided several sneak peek pictures THE DAY AFTER our wedding, it was a nice little surprise to be able to post those on social media announcing our wedding? 10 out of 10 would definitely hire MK again!
Photos by Mkay's reply:
Omg Ashley, Thank you for the review! It was such an amazing wedding, so many laughs, and so much fun. You are a gem, and I can't thank you enough for letting me shoot your wedding. You truly are such a wonderful person, I'm happy we got so many good shots with your man, he did crack a smile after all ;)

We loved our experience with Mkay, and the photos were wonderful!
We hired Mkay to shoot some couples photos. We had a great time on the shoot itself! Mkay was a lot of fun to be around and put us at ease, which I think really helped to capture some great moments. She was also punctual and got the finished photos to us in great time. We really love them! Highly recommended.

AMAZING Photographer!!!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Mkay!! I am so thankful we hired her for our wedding day and couldn't be happier with our photos. She is very professional and provided guidelines/advice in advance for us, and she had a clear method for moving through the day in ways we would not have thought to ask for. She is amazing at keeping the timeline on track and kindly but clearly guiding guests/family through photos. Her vision and creativity captured stunning moments for us, and she was also open to all ideas of ours. And her work is just stunning!!! Her talent is so evident, from how she runs her business, to day of details, to the absolutely beautiful photos we received from her. She is a star!!
Photos by Mkay's reply:
Kathryn!!! Thank you so much for your review! It was so nice to wake up to this, I truly enjoyed shooting your wedding. It had everything, dramatic gown, amazing pup, a man who adores you, I couldn't have been happier. I truly hope I get to see ya'll again in the future. Till then, enjoy that married life!

Amanda, more like Amazing
Amanda is amazing. She was so organized and so professional. She communicated well and got the shots that were most important to me. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and a steal at any price. She tells you exactly what to do if you don't know, but lets you have enough free space to play a little. I couldn't have asked for better.

Thank you so much Julia for your review! I truly had a wonderful time shooting your wedding. Your friends and family were so nice and helpful, it was touching to see everyone coming together to make this day happen. I can not wait to finish the album, girl you know that dress was a show stopper!

Fantastic and Fun to Work With!
Amanda (Mkay) has fantastic skills and energy. Her 2-photographer package was a great value, she was timely, and had a lot of experience shooting at our venue. We didn't have a DJ or emcee at our small wedding, but Mkay stepped up to get our guests excited for events like our grand entrance, grand exit, and dancing. And the way she captured the beautiful evening light at our outdoor venue was perfect. She provided us some "teasers" for social media the following day, and then gave us the whole set of edited photos within the scheduled timeframe. Would definitely hire her again! She's professional, quick to return emails, and composes beautiful photos. Thanks Mkay!

Ah Scott, thank you for the review! I absolutely loved shooting your wedding. Such a beautiful day, warm family, hilarious friends. It truly was a celebration. I do hope that I get to see you and Lindsey again in the future.

Absolutely Amazing Photographer!
Mkay was absolutely killer on our wedding day!! Leading up to our day she was so responsive getting back to me in just minutes, and even included a helpful tips sheet I gave to my bridal party!
Everything went so smooth and I had no worries that our memories were being captured. She was so energetic and flexible even when our parents wanted more family photos lol. I loved every picture we received back and I won't hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family if they need a photographer.
Thank you so much Mkay!

I love you Jamarion! Thank you so much for your review, I really appreciate it! Your wedding was so full of love and heartfelt moments, your first look was by far the best I've shot all year. I wish you and Joseph many years of happiness together, although I know you won't need it, that man is totally head over heels for you. ;)

Fantastic Photographer!
Let me start off by saying, my husband and I aren’t the most comfortable in front of a camera. Well, Amanda completely changed that! We instantly connected when she shot our engagement photos and she made us feel so comfortable. She has the most bubbly personality and will make you laugh out loud. All of our wedding guests loved her! She was a blast to work with--you won’t be disappointed! Plus we received some sneak peaks back within 24 hours of our wedding!

Kathleen!! Thank you, I really appreciate the review. I swear ya'll are the sweetest couple I've ever shot. So excited to get your album back to you. It was one for the books my dear.
