My fiancé and I just received our engagement photos back from Amanda and her team and could not be happier! From the very beginning Amanda has been incredible to work with, very helpful, willing to walk you through the process and makes you feel so special. We were paired with Caroline as our lead photographer and we immediately clicked with her. She made us feel at ease in front of a camera, I know she will be such an asset on the wedding day! We received our photos quickly after our session and know our wedding is in the best hands. To anyone who is looking for a photographer for their wedding I cannot recommend Amanda Rai Photography enough! -

Amanda is an amazing photographer, her light and airy style makes for the most beautiful photos. On top of that, she's a super proactive communicator, well organized, and always anticipates what a couple needs throughout the process! -

Sarah K. Sent on 11/28/2022Hire Amanda Rai Photography ASAP!
If you haven’t booked your wedding photographer yet, run and inquire with Amanda Rai Photography ASAP. I have not even had my wedding yet and I could not recommend her and the ARai associate team enough. From our first conversation, Amanda was extremely personable, professional and informative - I felt like I was communicating with a friend right off the bat which is great to have in a photographer that you’ll be working so closely with! We met Caroline, who is part of the associate team, in Portsmouth, NH for our engagement session and we couldn't have left happier. Caroline was extremely fun to work with and the shots came out beautiful - she knew the perfect spots and was able to capture exactly what we were hoping for. Along with the photos being great, we received them much fast than I expected and were able to share them with our friends and family who loved them! VERY quick sneak peeks (which everyone wants to see right away!) and a full album pretty quickly after. I can’t wait to continue to work with Amanda and have Caroline be the lead shooter at our wedding in September 2023! -

Amanda is Amazing!
I have hired Amanda to shoot my wedding in August of 2023. She was great throughout the hiring process and answered all my questions! She set up a zoom call for me to virtually meet her and talk about my wedding plans!
She has been great to communicate with and her blog is so fun! We had our engagement shoot with her and our wedding! Leading up to the wedding Amanda answered any questions I had, and we had a call the week before the wedding to discuss details.
Her and her team were amazing the whole day and she provided everything she promised. The photos were just as I expected based on what was on her website and social media.
I would highly recommend Amanda and her team, they are professional and provide exactly what the promise! -

Hands down the best vendor I worked with for our wedding!
Amanda and her team were such a dream to work with! From the first initial call to getting our full wedding album, the entire process was made so easy. Communication with the entire team was amazing. It really made it feel as if we were her only client! Our photos came out beautifully!! I cannot recommend them enough! -

Look no further - you’ve found your angel
Amanda and her team are awesome. Immediately, we felt so comfortable with their energy, vibe, and professional presence. I love having a team of women who are empowered, structured, and love to work together. It was amazing to do an engagement shoot before the big day to get more comfortable in front of the camera and be able to connect with our lead shooter. We were so excited to see Chelsey again for our wedding day. We knew that we were in good hands. She kept us on timeline and had great notes of all the different shots I wanted. She and Mel created total magic that day and made us feel calm and confident. Since we were working against wind and weather, they were quick to improvise. After the sneak peek, Amanda was so quick to get us a bunch more photos almost right away and ahead of schedule for the rest of the photos! It was such a treat! She is such a great business owner and really takes pride in her product. I had requested a few minor tweaks to some photos and she responded so quickly and made them look perfect. We have definitely found our photographer for the future family photos in A Rai as well don't wait - BOOK THEM NOW!! -

I don’t know if I can put into words how great Amanda and her team was-if you are thinking about booking her, READ THIS REVIEW. Photography was my #1 goal; we spent hours reading reviews, interviewing photographers, and I knew from our first interview with Amanda that she was perfect for us. Not only is she SO organized (as someone who is type A this was fantastic) but she truly makes you feel like you are her friend. She is warm, bubbly, and encouraging which is what you want on your wedding day.
Fast forward to the wedding-she made me and my entire bridal party feel SO comfortable. She knows exactly how to pose you to get the perfect shots, and she is a true hype girl the entire time. THE PHOTOS ARE STUNNING (seriously), and she even has an Ipad where they are up at the wedding to see a sneak peek. She’s so prompt at returning photos, and so communicative. We also just got a surprise in the mail of a framed photo she sent us.
My mom and entire bridal party are still RAVING about how fantastic she was and how beautiful the photos are. Don’t walk, but RUN to book Amanda, I promise you won’t regret it :) -

We could not be happier with how our wedding photos turned out! Amanda and Morgan were wonderful to work with, they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and made sure to capture all of the shots we wanted. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day and Amanda is genuinely so wonderful and the kind of person you want to have around you! Having Amanda Rai Photography capture our wedding was on of the best decisions we made, thank you Amanda!! -

Don’t walk, RUN and hire Amanda Rai!
We could NOT be happier with Amanda Rai Photography and her amazing team! Caroline took the most beautiful engagement photos and Melissa and Morgan made the perfect team during our wedding day. These ladies truly know how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, totally hype you up and make your vision come to life! Our wedding gallery blew us, our family and friends away, so thank you!! :) -

Sarah V. Sent on 07/28/2021Amanda is simply the best!
Amanda and Chelsey are simply the best! If you are looking for a bright and airy style photographer in the NH area, then Amanda Rai Photography is the one to go to! I am absolutely blown away by how amazing our wedding photos came out! Her photographs are so natural and she incorporates so much movement into her photographs. Not everything is your standard portrait, which I love. They really captured the joy we felt in all the photos. There isn't one photo I wished I had or any shot I felt we missed out on. They captured it all!!! It was so hard to choose what I should share here because we have too many favorites to count.
Outside of the team's photography skills, Amanda puts in the extra touch to make her clients feel welcome and excited for their big day! After working with us at my best friends wedding and now ours, we are really going to miss seeing her! We are so happy we chose her and her team! I'd recommend Amanda Rai Photography to anyone we know! -

Engagement Photo Perfection!
We booked Amanda's associate team team for our 2022 wedding & just had our engagement session with Chelsey - an absolute dream - and we are BLOWN away. The photos capture us perfectly, and her easy-going personality made everything feel totally natural. We're so lucky to get this glimpse into what our wedding photos will look like and we can't wait!! -

We hired Amanda as our wedding photographer for our wedding at Dexter’s Inn in July 2022 and she did a great job. Amanda was super easy to work with, friendly, and listened to our many requests for combinations of photos. She and her second shooter captured the vibe of the day including getting ready, the ceremony, and the reception. Her photos are wedding magazine quality and she captured so many beautiful shots. -

AWESOME photographer all around
Amanda herself is amazing, but even better is knowing that her associate team will also knock it out of the park! Due to some rescheduling (thanks, COVID), my husband and I ended up with her associate team and LET ME TELL YOU did they do a great job! Not only did the ladies show up early, but they stayed a bit late to help us capture a few last-minute shots. They were so friendly, helpful, and excited to be there. They worked great with the videographer, each team building off the other (which worked out perfectly)! The team has been perfectly curated by Amanda to have not only great photography skills, but to be kind and just a wonderful addition to the wedding day. We felt like they were additional guests at our wedding (in a good way) because they were so fun to be around!
The ladies remembered very specific details that we only mentioned once or twice and made sure to photograph those things! They were firm and kind with our bridesmaids, groomsmen, and family to make sure we got all the necessary shots! Really, you couldn't ask for more.
Also, Amanda was so quick to help when we needed to reschedule. We were originally scheduled for 2021, but couldn't end up doing our wedding on that day. She jumped right into helping us figure out how to reschedule and we couldn't be more grateful for her flexibility and willingness to help us out during COVID!
The gallery was delivered EXTREMELY quickly (we were married on 7/30 and it was delivered within about 3 weeks) and we are so excited to look through it more in the upcoming days/weeks.
Thank you again, Amanda, Chelsey, and Melissa! -

My fiance and I chose to work with Amanda and Melissa for our wedding photos and we could not be more thrilled with that decision, and have actively recommended Amanda Rai Photography to our newly engaged friends, too! Every interaction we have had with them has been so pleasant. They're incredibly friendly, easy to work with, and their work is amazing. We are in love with our engagement shoot pictures. They are beautiful and such high quality!! Based on these we can't wait to see how our actual wedding photos turn out! -

This is so delayed but I just wanted to take the time to write a review because Amanda has been an absolute delight to work with! We got our engagement pictures done in September last year and she did an incredible job and got them to us really fast. She makes you feel comfortable and the whole process felt effortless even though we were both a little nervous. She has been super responsive and is very organized and has helped us narrow down a timeline for our wedding coming up. I could not recommend her and her team enough! One of our best decisions and I am so looking forward to seeing more of her work in a month from now for our wedding! -
