Incredible Photos
Amanda is a wonderful person and an incredible photographer! She made it so easy to be ourselves in front of the camera even though my husband and I are both a little camera shy. Amanda is super nice and professional and her work blew us away. She captured beautiful photos of our favorite moments. We love her authentic style and can't recommend her enough! -

Amanda is an amazing photographer! She is kind, polite, sticks to the timeline presented, quick moving, and great with couples. She brings such a warm feeling and great energy during a long day. She communicates ahead of time and is very collaborative! Highly recommend as a wedding photographer. -

Amanda was our photographer for our wedding in April and she absolutely knocked it out of the park. Amanda captured our night and I love every photo! Amanda is easy to work with and brings a unique eye for detail. As someone who hates taking photos, Amanda made the photo session easy and comfortable. Additionally, she was organized, punctual, and was excellent at asking questions that really helped me organize the wedding planning. Leading up to the wedding, we’d have check in calls and every time I hung up with her, I felt a renewed sense of excitement for the wedding. Overall, my husband and I both highly recommend Amanda. -

Amanda is absolutely wonderful!
My husband & I stumbled across Amanda's website in December of 2018 & we were immediately drawn to her photos. After one phone call with her, we realized how dedicated she was to photography and how friendly of a person she was. Booked her soon after.
Amanda is a pleasure to work with, very responsive, enthusiastic, & up for a challenge! Eric & I got married in October of 2019 just south of San Francisco. We asked quite a lot of her, & she aced it. She captured spectacular photos of the following & more:
- 20 person bridal party (that's one wide lens!!)
- Our pet tortoise in his tux (he tends to not listen or take direction well)
- Church, backyard, & beach settings
- A photo of all 150 guests outside the church
- Confetti first look (with 20 person bridal party & the rebellious tortoise)
- Church exit bubble photo
- Pinata event for guests with birthdays
- An intense giant jenga game
- Choreographed dances Silent disco in our garage
Shortly after booking Amanda, we needed an impromptu engagement shoot, in the hopes of sending out a save the date with our Christmas cards. We called her up and she fit us into her schedule within the week. The engagement shoot was in our backyard. Amanda has an amazing eye & was able to create stunning images from such a familiar setting. She found beauty in things such as a fence or a run-down treehouse. She was also super creative with the props we wanted to use (inflatable pool floats). Like a superhero in our crazy time crunch, Amanda provided the engagement shoot photos the next day. We loved the results.
The day of the wedding, Amanda was calm as a cucumber, which was much needed in all of the craziness! She went above and beyond in helping us keep time - We were able to stick to our
schedule thanks to Amanda's ability to multitask and usher 20+ individuals into amazing photo poses. When we arrived at the beach / hill photo location Amanda knew where to go as she has previously scoped out he area (pretty smart move). We had a lot of fun taking bridal party photos. Some of them even included a passerby's large dog, that my husband coaxed over for petting.
The church moments were beautifully captured and Amanda followed the rules that were set by the church coordinator. After the ceremony, Amanda organized all of the 150 guests for a group photo outside the church where you can see everyone!
The reception images were full of detail and emotion and candid expressions (those are always the best). We love looking through the images of all our guests having a great time. Amanda & her second shooter, Ashley, took amazing photos of the details (table settings, centerpieces, table markers, etc.).
At the end of the night, Amanda captured hilarious and embarrassing photos of all the dancing & of the silent disco! It’s hard to work in darker environments but the dancing photos turned out vibrant and full of energy! We were surprised when Amanda even stayed later in the night than previously discussed, she mentioned that was because there were more moments she wanted to capture.
After it all wound down, we thoroughly enjoyed looking through all the photos. The best part was that my husband & I each got to see moments that we had missed out on on the wedding day, such as each other's getting ready photos, detail photos, a tearful father-daughter first look, & a conga line that we didn't know had happened!
Long story short - we love Amanda, we love our wedding photos, & we are so impressed with Amanda's ability to capture the energy, emotion, excitement on what we both agree was the best day of our lives.
Highly recommend!

Amanda is amazing!
Amanda is an amazing person and a very talented photographer! My husband and I were so lucky to have had her capture our intimate wedding at the San Francisco City Hall, attended by our closest family members. Amanda was extremely professional and kind: she arrived before the ceremony, captured the signing of the marriage license/certificate, the whole wedding ceremony, family portraits, couple formals, etc.! She knows City Hall inside out, and even managed to convince the officiant to hold the ceremony on the 4th floor balcony. After the wedding, she sent us a few photographs for us to share with our loved ones, and about a month after the wedding she sent us the full gallery - and, WOW the photographs are amazing, the light is just right, and everyone looks so good! Amanda captured every single detail with such beauty: the flowers, the rings, my hairstyle, my husband's boutonnière... Amanda knew just how to position us so that we look great together, without looking stiff. We couldn't have wished for a better photographer for our wedding, and we are so grateful to Amanda for the amazing work she did! -

Carmen Sent on 10/27/2018Amanda is the best, book her NOW!
There are so many wonderful things I can say about Amanda, I don’t even know where to begin! She took engagement photos for my fiancé and I in Yosemite and we are so obsessed with how they came out! Great photography isn’t just about location, it’s also about being able to photograph your subjects in their natural element and make them feel as comfortable as possible. My fiancé and I are very awkward in front of the camera, but she has such a serene energy that made us feel like we’ve known her for years! She wasn’t just our photographer, she also became our friend that day. She constantly asked us if we felt comfortable during the shoot and never made us do anything we didn’t want to. Amanda gave us a variety of images including the little details of our surroundings to remember everything about that day. She even took images using the Brenizer method, which goes to show how talented, passionate, and knowledgable she is about photography. We can’t thank Amanda enough for capturing memories that we are going to cherish forever. Honestly, I could go on and on, but don’t waste anymore of your time by looking for another photographer. Amanda is the best, book her NOW! -

Allison J. Sent on 02/01/2019Her eyes put my heart at ease
On the day of our wedding, we had lots of nerves, interesting family dynamics, and expectations floating around in our heads.
When I met Amanda that day for the first time, I felt I’d known her for much longer, like an old friend.
She was able to capture our true essence because of her genuine kindness and desire to deliver photos that she herself would have wanted on her special day.
Amanda went above and beyond processinging our photos within days and making certain to capture each group or solo pic we said we wanted to have.
I strongly recommend Amanda for any photography special occasion. -
