    Micro wedding and engagement shoot

    Amanda was phenomenal to work with. She made our weird little pandemic wedding and last minute engagement session feel so special! She got an amazing shot of us with our socially distanced family. That one photo made it worth every penny for her services. We hope to hire her again!

    Katie, thank you so much for taking the time to leave me this amazing review! I’ll remember your rainy, PERFECT socially-distanced wedding forever.

    Gorgeous Photos and Fun Photographer

    I wanted a photographer who was going to capture our wedding in a photojournalistic style. I also wanted someone who was going to be easy to be around. Amanda was the perfect fit. You end up spending a lot of time with your photographer and being around Amanda is like having another friend around. Also, my husband and I hadn't done professional photographs before so she was able to direct us and our wedding party beautifully. Our photographs came out beautifully and I've already recommended Amanda to another friend for her wedding.

    Amazing Experience

    Amanda was absolutely amazing! She has an amazing personality and made out wedding day so wonderful. She made us so comfortable in front of the camera and the pictures that came out of it were to die for. Her editing style is so natural yet so vibrant. She is one of the best vendors I have ever worked with and I am so happy with the pictures we ended up with. I cannot thank her enough for the pictures she gave us.

    Book with Amanda!!

    Amanda was fantastic to work with! Very genuine and down to earth! Amanda made us feel very important during our wedding journey and even added some personal touches that proved to us that she cared about our marriage! She also worked great with family and friends as we were getting larger family portraits. Her style is slight and natural which we loved! Don’t hesitate to book with Amanda, you won’t regret it!!

    Amanda Celis Photography's reply:

    Marlina, thank you so much for this lovely review—and more importantly, for
    trusting me with your priceless memories! Our favorite photo (you know the
    one!) will be finding its way into my updated portfolio soon. :)

    The best!!

    We are so incredibly happy we chose Amanda to photograph our wedding not just because of how great her work is, but how great of a person she is. Amanda went with our flow and worked with us, the bridal party, and the guests to capture everything we wanted and more. The photos speak for themselves, but the experience working with her is something that should also be talked about. She made everything so easy! Amanda was so flexible and was able to deal with our rather large wedding party with ease. We are so pleased with the quality and quantity of the photos. Looking through our gallery, we were so impressed how she captured the big moments, but also all the details and even all the guests. 11/10 would recommend!

    The Absolute Best

    I don't think there is any other person on the planet who could have photographed our wedding day as well as Amanda did. She was incredibly responsive and helpful with the planning process. She helped with the basics like day of timelines and locations, but went above and beyond as a sounding board and partner. We had an unthinkable family tragedy the morning of our wedding and Amanda was able to capture the best parts of the day while being sensitive to our grief. Out pictures are so honest and beautiful. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

    Amanda Celis Photography's reply:

    Jess, thank you so much for this beautiful review. I think of you and Tony often, and I hope you know what I mean when I say this—and you KNOW I wish the universe could have given you two a "normal" day—but it was an honor to be there with you.

    You NEED This Woman in Your Life

    There aren't enough stars in the world to give Amanda! She is incredibly talented and kind- you will not be disappointed choosing her to be a part of your wedding or special occasion!

    Everyone is different when they think of the most important parts of their wedding day. If you want photos that will truly immortalize the day, your family and friends, and the love you share with them and your partner- Amanda has got you covered.

    It's a plus that she's sweet, fun, and super easy to communicate with !

    The best choice

    I literally cannot say enough about how much I loved working with Amanda. She is highly professional but also incredibly personable and fun. She captured our small, intimate wedding with pictures that I will forever hold close to my heart. Her team captured our eclectic wedding reception, held months later, with perfection. Amanda is so genuine and her passion for photography is evident in her work. She is laid back and easy to work with but very responsive and flexible, as is her entire team. It is without a doubt that I recommend Amanda Celis to any bride looking for a photographer.

    Jess,

    It was an honor to be the one to document these priceless memories for your family. I’ll remember you all forever. Thank you so much for this lovely review.

    You'll regret not hiring Amanda!

    I think picking a photographer for your wedding is one of the most stressful things during the planning process. I was very indecisive because I wanted to make sure I picked the right person and that I wouldn't regret my decision and end up with horrible photos, because you can't redo your wedding day or retake your photos. When we first met Amanda I knew I made the right decision and all my worries disappeared. She's so dang good at what she does and she always delivers when she says she will. She's also very communicative and responds very quickly whenever I emailed or texted her. I've never felt so comfortable getting my pictures taken like I do with her and I'm so happy that I found her to document or wedding day! Oh, and her photos are just absolutely beautiful 😍

    Amanda Celis Photography's reply:

    Johna, I just ADORE you and Austin—and your wedding day was absolute perfection. What an honor to be the one to photograph it! Thank you for picking me, and thank you for this amazing review!

    What else can I say... Amanda is amazing!

    Working with Amanda was amazing! She really knows her stuff. When we were looking for a photographer, we were in a pickle with COVID cancelling our original plans. Amanda picked us up and made us feel confident about our new plans! She worked with us to make sure we had all of our bases covered and she was able to help bring our special day full circle! Amanda captured our big day beautifully and we can’t thank her enough! Amanda brings joy and laughter when capturing any moment, along with professionalism and experience. We would 100% recommend Amanda and look forward to hopefully working with her again in the future!

    Amanda Celis Photography's reply:

    Kali, I so, so appreciate this wonderful review! I’m just devastated that COVID wrecked your plans, but I’m over the moon that I was able to be a little part of your new plans. Your day was literally the wedding of my dreams, and I’m still thinking about those mini Bundt cakes.

    We love Amanda!

    We had an amazing experience with Amanda for our engagement session and wedding day. We were a little nervous prior to our engagement session because we had never had professional photos done before, but as soon as we met her we were totally at ease. She's so fun and relaxed and her beautiful photos speak for themselves.

    We booked her in January 2020 and due to COVID had to delay the wedding to Sept 2021, which she was very understanding about. I also recall we talked to her for over an hour on the phone in our initial conversation, and she was so patient with all my questions. Her response time through email was amazing, too.

    She was a joy to work with on the wedding day, and I can't wait to see the photos she and her second shooter (@bloominglifeartistry, also great) captured! Amanda is awesome and we will definitely contact her again for family photos, glamour shots of our dog, or any other excuse we can come up with to hang out with her again :)

    Amanda Celis Photography's reply:

    Excellent photographer and even better person!

    We booked Amanda from PA while planning an Ohio wedding and she was understanding and accepting of our crazy schedule and was open to working over the phone.

    Originally we couldn't schedule an engagement session due to our work schedules and location - but we worked out kind of a last minute session that was amazing in Cleveland. The photo of us in front of the Lovebird mural is my favorite picture of us.

    She was incredibly patient during the day of our wedding - 2 brides meant twice as much time to get everybody looking pretty - and kept us smoothly moving through delays and glitches. Everyone in our party said they loved our photographer - and the other colleague working with her. I felt she had a great eye and also had a calm demeanor that kept me sane.

    One of the best decisions for our wedding. Cannot recommend highly enough. Also excellent bold red lip.

    Amanda Celis Photography's reply:

    I’m proud to have this phenomenal review on my page. Thank you, Emily! It was an honor to document your gorgeous wedding day.

    Absolutely incredible

    Amanda was the absolute best. She had all the right ideas to help set us up for photos, and then she also let us do our own thing and captured some really amazing moments. Every time we turned around throughout the reception, she was there, catching everything, but never in the way. I can’t say enough positive things about her and everything she’s done to help us remember our day. From the minute we started getting ready, until we left the reception and got on the shuttle, she was there and it was all so so perfect. Even choosing photos to upload with this review was nearly impossible, I wanted to pick all 1,000 of them, but these are just some of my favorites.

    Amanda Celis Photography's reply:

    Thank you for taking the time to leave this great review, LeAnne! Your wedding was perfection, and the fact that the photos you shared are all among my favorites is proof that we were meant to work together. Thanks again!

    Warning: Serious gushing ahead. I truly can't say enough great things about Amanda and the quality of Bumblebee Boots. My fiancé and I booked Amanda for our engagement and wedding sessions. She took the time to truly get to know us prior to the photo shoot, which really helped her capture our vibe in the photos. Bottom line - Our photos look like US. Not staged. Not the typical, overdone poses I've seen time and again by other photographers. There's a healthy mix of some posed photos that will please traditionalists (#myfamily), along with "of the moment" poses that are uniquely ours. Her humor kept us at ease during the engagement shoot and we were wowed by the quick turnaround of our images. We literally cannot wait for her to photograph our ceremony and reception next summer. This concludes my gushing/glowing review. :)

    Amanda Celis Photography's reply:

    Liz, thank you so much for this stellar review! Your engagement sessions is seriously one of my favorite sessions ever, and I'm looking forward to your wedding like you wouldn't even believe. One year and four days to go!

    Stop looking, you've found the best. It's Amanda.

    Our big day wouldn’t have been the same without Amanda there as our photographer. She captured our wedding on 6/15/19 on a rainy day in Cleveland.

    Amanda is a kind, funny, and incredible artist. Communicating with her was timely and easy. She takes the time to genuinely get to know you in an engagement shoot and is accessible leading up to the day with any questions you have or just to check in! As a bride who had a few obstacles leading up to our wedding, I appreciated Amanda’s professionalism, flexibility, reliability, and her calmness (I needed it!!).

    Amanda and her second shooter for the day, Becca, went above and beyond the photographer role. They were beams of positivity when some things were getting a little iffy, as rain fell before our ceremony and seating had to be rearranged within minutes. They stepped in when we needed help figuring out small details. Honestly, our day wouldn’t have run as smoothly without them.

    Plus, the photographs they produced are incredible. Amanda creates expertly framed images, and her editing brings out a sense of whimsy and light. She and Becca helped me feel confident and beautiful even though I am ordinarily awkward in front of a camera. They have helped us capture moments I never want to forget. I feel so lucky to have the images Amanda created of our wedding. I loved working with them, and for our future photog needs, I’ll never contact anyone else!

    Amanda Celis Photography's reply:

    A short list of extraordinary things: you, John, the love you two share, your entire wedding day, this review. Thank you so much for taking the time to express your satisfaction—and for trusting me to photograph the most important day of your lives. I’ll remember that day forever.

    Our Dream Photographer!

    Amanda is absolutely AMAZING! We hired Bumblebee Boots Photography to photograph our wedding on 3/22/19. It was such a lovely and memorable experience! Amanda, and her second shooter Ky, are so personable, funny, and super friendly! Everyone in my bridal party loved them! Even those that sometimes get awkward in front of the camera couldn’t help but feel relaxed because of how likable these delightful women are. Amanda was so easy to get in touch with via email, which made communicating with her a breeze. The package we got included an engagement photo session, which really helped to establish a rapport with her, and helped us sort of “practice” for the wedding day photos.
    There were so many things we had to worry about on our wedding day, but we are so grateful that our photographers were not one of those worries! Amanda and Ky take the most stunning photos and they were easily two of the most lively guests at the party! We are so grateful that they were able to be such a big part of our wedding day. I would most definitely recommend Bumblebee Boots Photography to anyone looking for a professional but SUPER FUN photographer! But don’t just take my word for it, her photos speak for themselves!

    Amanda Celis Photography's reply:

    Your day was nothing short of magical, Nikki, and it was such an honor to capture it for you! When I imagine you and Tyler looking at your photos 50 years from now, I get the warm fuzzies. Thank you for the lovely review—and for choosing me.

    One of the first reasons I chose Amanda was her quick response to my Facebook messages! She was the first photographer to send me a message back and every correspondence since then has been quick. I'm all about efficiency and Amanda has made it so easy to schedule appointments! She made our photo sessions comfortable and enjoyable, and I loved all the pictures she took! It's amazing quality and value from Bumblebee Boots!

    We have used Amanda several times for parties and family photos and have also recommended her to friends who have also used her as well. Everything is always great. She is the best to work with and never disappoints. She just took pictures for my daughter’s 2nd birthday and has taken family photos of us at least 4 times. She photographed my daughter’s entire 1st birthday last year (she stayed the entire time without question even though it ran way over the agreed upon time). I never took a single picture myself and the photos she delivered were amazing and are something I will always treasure. I would definitely use her for a wedding. Weddings are stressful and this would be the best decision if you don’t want to have to worry about how your pictures will turn out. She is amazing and her passion really shows in her work.

    Amanda Celis Photography's reply:

    Jackie, thank you so, so much for the kind words! I'm sure this is pretty obvious, but I'm a big fan of R's, and I've loved every single session I've had with her. :)

    Amanda of Bumblebee Boots Photography did such an amazing job! Her professionalism, eye for all things beautiful, quality of work and dedication to our satisfaction, was by far the best we have ever experienced in the photography business. Our photographs will be chereished for years and generations to come, because of her innate ability to take a special moment and turn them into lifelong memories. We can not recommend Bumblebee Boots Photography more highly. We have referred dozens of friends, family and acquaintances to her! Thank you, Amanda!!

    Kind, flexible and knows her job! Alison went above and beyond to make my sons senior pictures one of his best experiences all year. I will never go anywhere else! If u don’t use her for your photos you are missing out!

    Thank you so much for the amazing review, Jennifer! I'm glad you enjoyed working with me as much as I enjoyed working with you and Omar, and I'm looking forward to our future family session!
