    A+ experience with Amanda!

    Amanda photographed my partner and I's elopement ceremony in Bend and was able to accommodate us last minute. (long story) She was so thoughtful and invested in the best possible outcome.

    It was a smokey day in late July and we originally had Sparks Lake in mind. Amanda drove up ahead of our scheduled time to find that it was too smokey to be ideal and instead recommended that we pivot destinations and head for Smith Rock. She had friends who live just outside of the entrance and they were able to confirm that the skies were clear before we made our way up there.

    During the shoot, Amanda was so fun to work with and made it a really enjoyable experience. She was happy to ensure that specific shots that we were hoping for were covered during the shoot. The photos turned out phenomenally and she even delivered them to us sooner than she told us to expect. A+ experience. Cannot recommend Amanda enough!

    Superhero photographer. Not an exaggeration.

    We first met Amanda when she photographed our friends’ wedding, where we were in the wedding party. She was so great at keeping the chaos organized that we asked if she would be willing to photograph a wedding in California. We were sure she thought it was a joke, until we actually hired her to travel to our wedding. Our experience as members of the wedding party was memorable, and our experience as bride and groom exceeded every expectation. Because of the distance, we fussed around with zoom meetings in preparation and sent as many venue photos as possible, knowing that there would be almost no time for a tour of the venue prior to the event. But we never felt more comfortable leading up to the wedding. With Amanda, not only do you get a rockstar photographer, you get an experienced professional who understands the emotion and lifelong importance of every moment of a wedding. We received tons and tons of unsolicited positive feedback from our closest family and friends about Amanda. She was a constant source of support and positivity throughout the weekend. My only regret is that we live so far apart, if we could, we would have Amanda photograph all of our future family photos (we’re done having weddings though…one is enough).

    Also, huge special shoutout to Edith. Edith was Amanda’s assistant photographer for the event and met us only the day before the wedding. We knew right away that we had the best team possible for our important day. Edith and Amanda worked seamlessly together, and Edith handled our “unique” family and friends with ease. You both are very special and will forever be part of our fondest memory 😊

    Wedding of our Dreams

    My partner and I decided to get the elopement package at FivePine Lodge in Sisters OR for our wedding in December, and they sent us a list of photographers we could use. We looked at Amanda's Instagram and instantly knew she was the perfect one for us (someone who uses pronouns on their profile goes a long way. We knew we were safe and well respected...not to mention stunning photos and a price we could afford). From day one of meeting Amanda we felt completely at ease and taken care of. We decided to have her do our engagement photo shoot as well. Both experiences went well beyond our expectations. Amanda's ability to provide clear and helpful direction throughout the shoot was unmatched by anyone else we've worked with. She is able to find the perfect light, the perfect angles, and unique setting to create images that speak to who you truly are. Not only was she the perfect photographer for us, but she took the time to offer heart felt support throughout our special day, and helpful direction on little details we hadn't even thought of. Our hearts lit up and tears filled our eyes when we we saw our photos. I felt like a winter faery Goddess, and my love finally felt his truest self was reflected here. Our most authentic selves were able to shine through because of Amanda's ability to capture us and our love so beautifully and truthfully. It was everything my love and I wanted and more. She made our wedding dreams come true, and our day so very special. We can't recommend her enough!

    No Need to Search Further, Just Hire Her!

    We enjoyed working with Amanda for our engagement shoot and our wedding. She went above and beyond and was our main help hotline for wedding questions. Through difficulties of rescheduling due to Covid, Amanda was the most helpful person! She called vendors and used her connections throughout Central Oregon when things were seeming to fall apart. We loved her personality and the way she directed everyone to stay on track and be efficient. Her direct approach may not be for everyone, but for us, it was perfect. We love our photos and our friends even booked her for their wedding after being part of our bridal party. When we received photos, Amanda was more than happy to make additional edits as requested. We could not be happier with her service, communication, professionalism, and friendliness!

    We had a small wedding in Shevlin Park, and Amanda gave us exactly what we were hoping for. Our photos had beautiful colors (and some black and white), and she was very easy to work with. I'd definitely recommend her for any occasion.

    Initially, I was very anxious about having pictures taken, but my fiancee really wanted to have engagement photos professionally done. So, we met with Amanda beforehand to talk about logistics and about what we wanted out of our shoot. Her knowledge and recommendations really helped me to get a clear idea of what to expect. When we had the shoot, she was very encouraging and was able to bring out my and my fiancee's playful sides. Thanks to Amanda, I was able to move past the anxiety and have a good time with my fiancee, resulting in amazing pictures that we'll be able to look back at and remember good times. We had a very enjoyable, funny, and relaxing photo-shoot walk around the park with lots of laughing and love.

    It was such a fun afternoon with you and Robert. I can't wait for your wedding, it's going to be wonderful!

    Amanda Photographic was amazing at our wedding, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an event photographer. When I started planning our wedding, the one thing I didn't really realize is how important the photographer is in structuring the entire wedding day schedule. Amanda clearly has this process nailed. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she communicated with us regularly to ensure that we were all on the same page as to what photos were important to take and when we should plan on taking them. On the day of, Amanda showed up with her team and a printed schedule in hand. From there on, I could just relax, because I knew she had the entire day under control. From getting me in position to walk down the aisle, to the task of herding large groups of mildly intoxicated family members to portraits, Amanda and her team did it all!

    But aside from just organization skills, the "proof of the pudding" is clearly in the end result of her photos. They are all thoughtful and artfully composed. Amanda has an amazing ability to capture the actual emotions of the experience on camera; just looking at the pictures brings me back to what I was feeling that day. All our guests fawned over our amazing and artistic photos, and I know the pictures will be excellent memories for years to come. More personally, Amanda is a super kind and generous person that clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend Amanda Photographic, and I hope I have the opportunity to work with her in the future!

    Amanda photographed my daughter's wedding and we just loved her. The wedding was a traditional church wedding and the reception was a large, casual, tented, outdoor affair in a beautiful setting. Amanda captured the beauty and the spirit of both settings. In going through our gallery, there isn't a photograph I can think of that I wish she'd gotten. They are just beautiful. My daughter and I were so pleased. Amanda is more than a photographer - she is a wedding expert, and was so helpful with little tips for the bride that made our day go so much more smoothly. She calms nerves and is so incredibly helpful. You can see from her website, that Amanda has shot so many different kinds of weddings in so many different settings. Her experience shows. She's also just a nice person who is fun to be around. I can't say enough. Just hire her. You won't be disappointed.

    Amanda was the greatest photographer we could've asked for! She was so supportive and helpful every step of the way through our crazy adventure getting to our wedding day! She was there at the drop of a hat for help or support when ever plans went amiss! For our engagement photos and our wedding photos she worked through any hiccup that occurred, from a wardrobe malfunction, to crazy wind and heat. Nothing phased her amazing ability! If we had to go through this a second time, we would have her there without any doubt! She is a photographer from here on out!

    Amanda went above and beyond being a wedding photographer. She was willing to give advice and knowledge on all aspects of the wedding making sure that everything went smoothly. Her pictures were AMAZING!!! She captured everything and did so in style. The whole day could not have gone smoother and a big part of that was because of Amanda.

    Amanda,
    Thank you so much for all of the beautiful wedding pictures!! I knew we did not want a traditional wedding layout, and you respected our wishes. You helped capture the day with our family in the gorgeous mountain setting of Central Oregon. I also highly value the fact that you captured the family dynamic that we were trying to create for our wedding. We were trying to spend as much time as possible with family, since they all traveled a great distance to be there for only a few days, and you let us have our time, but you also helped us save those moments. Thank you for everything you do, and the protective space you helped us hold.

    Amanda is professional, kind, so efficient, communicative, direct, and super talented at what she does. From our first email correspondence, through multiple emails and skype conversations, to our goodbyes the morning after our wedding, Amanda was absolutely the best photographer we could have asked for. Amanda not only took stunningly gorgeous photos, she brought so much creativity and direction to our wedding day. There were countless moments in our wedding that were made perfect by Amanda's suggestions about timing and her experience with the variety of issues that can come up at a wedding. I absolutely trusted her instincts and I'm so glad I did - she suggested a location change for our first look and we are beyond happy with the resulting photos. Our families have not stopped talking about how wonderful it was to work with her. I can't imagine getting a better experience or more beautifully captured memories from anyone else.

    Amanda is the best- Period.  I love my wedding photos so much. It's difficult to put into words how essential Amanda was during our wedding weekend and planning process. I seriously don't know what we would have done without her. 

    I'm not a 'wedding person' and I'm super work-focused so I wasn't able to spend a lot of time thinking about our wedding last summer. Also, I didn't know a lot about the pressure and expectations that a bride often experiences and I think without Amanda, I would have been seriously stressed on my big day.

    She has several years of experience and it shows. I went into the weekend without a plan for ceremony or a traditional wedding planner and she stepped up gracefully when she knew she could help. She coached us and our bridal party on exactly what to during the rehearsal and was flexible when things changed min.

    She was always kind, helpful, willing to talk, willing to travel, and what's most special about her is how much this woman loves weddings! I think some wedding photog veterans are a little jaded after years in the business but Amanda's so optimistic and excited about love. She took the time to get to know my (now) husband and really felt her exitement for us to get married. It's hard to explain but it's nice to have that eye behind the lense rooting your love on. 

    She captured the essence and beauty of the best weekend of our lives in a way that words never could. We are forever grateful for Amanda being there for our wedding and I hope anyone reading this gets to experience what we did.

    It was very important to my (now) husband and I to find someone who could capture our wedding in a way that truly reflected are family and who we are as a couple, and that’s exactly what Amanda delivered. Amanda is a delightful person, very talented and extremely professional. Living in a different time zone, she was respectful of our job schedule and time, Skyping as necessary to really get a feel for us and our family dynamic.

    One of the greatest pleasures of working with Amanda is that she loves her job. She made us all feel celebrated and has this wonderful calming presence. She has a way of coaching you through the giggles of being in that “wedding spotlight” and is happy to go the extra mile – when my sister-in-law went into labor and gave birth to a baby girl the morning after our wedding, Amanda went to the hospital and captured beautiful moments of the proud new parents.

    We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience and we recommend Amanda to anyone who asks without any reservations whatsoever.

    I can not express enough how grateful I am for Amanda Long! She not only was an AMAZING photographer, she was SO great at sharing her wisdom and experience with us, which made the entire wedding experience so much easier and more enjoyable. She was genuinely excited, enthusiastic, helpful, sensitive, intuitive and VERY professional throughout the entire process....from the very first email requesting her services, down to the last dance at the reception. Being 2,000 miles away from my daughter (the bride) and the wedding venue during the planning was not easy or ideal, but Amanda went above and beyond to answer any questions and put me at ease about any concerns I had. And her ability to communicate with me, the bride and groom, the family, the guests, the venue......I just don't have words for how impressed and grateful I am that she was our wedding photographer!

    I wish I could rate more than 5 stars for value- Amanda was by far the best vendor we booked for our wedding. She was in touch with us constantly about engagement photos, wedding timeline, what we wanted out of our wedding photos, etc. She was genuinely excited about being a part of our day and helping us capture the special memories from it. I honestly can't say enough good things about her; she was incredibly helpful, she brought snacks (which seriously came in handy) and helped create the timeline for the whole day. She covered the ENTIRE thing, from getting ready at 8 AM to our sendoff at 9PM. I would (and do) recommend her to anyone I know!

    I don't really like having my picture taken, but Amanda was very professional and gave great direction. The photoshoot we did with her was not scary or intimidating at all. We had fun! Her knowledge and expertise really came through, and my partner and I are so excited to see the results. I know the pictures are going to be incredible!

    My family and I all enjoyed Amanda's company. She worked great with our daughter and her attention span. We had some indecisiveness with dates and she went with the flow, so amazing. I would recommend her to anyone that needed a photographer and look forward to doing more pictures with her in the near future.

    My husband and i were married in 2008. We think back fondly on the day - with help from Amanda's photos. Amanda went out of her way for us - time and time again. She is incredibly flexible, very supportive, creative and understanding. At the time of our wedding i weighed 240lbs. As a young woman who had struggled with adrenal based metabolic issues i was afraid of what those photos would come out like. She never said a word about it and I'm sure that i never thanked her for it but she made me look happy. She worked magic with her a ability to dominate angles, light and placement. I looked beautiful. My Mom mentioned my looking 70lbs lighter and honestly... I did.

    Thank you, Amanda. With luck and patience on my side - I'll never need you for wedding photos again but i pray you'll be around to capture a few anniversaries. You're the best!
