    Best Vendor By Far!

    We made the easy decision to work with Amanda for our October 2023 wedding, after one of my best friends used her for her wedding a number of years ago. Her photos and editing style are unmatched, and a stunning, yet timeliness, reflection of our day.

    However, what made Amanda such an invaluable part of our day was her ability to make us feel 100% comfortable throughout the entire process. She includes an engagement shoot in her package, which was a really important experience, so we were able to get comfortable being professionally photographed. During our engagement shoot, and more importantly, our wedding, Amanda developed a comfortable rapport with each member of our wedding party. She made jokes and communicated in such a way that we all felt natural and authentic. My husband and I both are a little awkward taking photos, but she boosted our self-esteem in a really natural way and knew how to ask us to make adjustments without confusing us or making us feel self-conscious.

    Amanda turned around previews within 2 HOURS of our wedding reception ending. We can't wait to see the final package! We will 100% be working with Amanda again, and can confidently say she was our favorite vendor to work with.

    Awesome Photographer

    Amanda is hilarious, knows what she’s doing, captures the photos you don’t think of, keeps the timeline moving and on time, and knows how to make you feel special. We highly recommend!

    Amanda is the best photographer around!

    We practically hit the lottery by getting to work with Amanda and her second photographer Kira on our wedding day 8/19/2022 (as well as our engagement photoshoot just a few months prior). Amanda perfectly captured the most magical day/night of our lives and was such a joy to have behind the camera. Not only does she make you feel comfortable during photoshoots, but she also makes it fun and is able to easily manage large groups of people to help stick to the wedding timeline (even with a rowdy group of 6 groomsmen). We got some previews almost instantly, which I can only imagine kept her up all night to edit, but her hard work that night did not go unnoticed and it was the most amazing treat to wake up to. Not only were the photos the most beautiful pieces of art, but they captured every detail and emotion of our wedding day perfectly. Thank you Amanda from the absolute bottom of our hearts, we are so glad to have gotten the pleasure of landing you as our wedding day photographer and we hope to have the opportunity to photograph with you again in the future! Can't wait to get the rest of our photos and cry happy tears all over again!

    Incredible experience with Amanda

    Amanda has been nothing but incredible throughout our entire process here in planning out wedding. We met with her for our engagement shoot pictures and they came out perfect. She did an incredible job of making us feel comfortable in the photos, connecting with us, and the end results were just amazing. She is a must have for your special day!

    Amanda is the dream!

    Aside from our venue, Amanda was the first vendor that we booked. She came highly recommended by multiple people in the area. We expected her to take great pictures (which she does!) but booking her has meant so much more than that. Amanda has a natural way of making you feel comfortable in front of a lens. As someone who usually dislikes pictures of themselves, she captured the perfect moments and angles. She is flexible, professional and extremely personable. During our engagement shoot, we were laughing the whole time. She will make you feel like you've known each other for years even if it's your first time meeting. On top of that, she truly has a gift. She took stunning photos in creative places that I never even would have looked twice at. If you're considering her for your wedding day, book her immediately and don't look back :)

    Makes you feel so comfortable!

    We just finished up our engagement photos with Amanda and she is WONDERFUL. I was worried about looking nervous or stiff, of just not know what to do. Amanda made us feel so comfortable that the REAL smiles came out. Highly recommend! Can't wait for the wedding photos!

    The best photographer of all time!

    I could go on and on about how amazing Amanda is as a photographer and as a person. Her photography is so unique, artistic, and vibrant. She has been my photographer three times already and I will absolutely continue to book her. She’s so much fun to work with! She’s hilarious and she’s great with children too. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she knows exactly what to do to get the perfect shot. I was blown away with Amanda at my wedding; it was almost like having a 2nd coordinator. She helped make the day go smoothly and she captured every moment flawlessly. I can’t get over how talented she is, and I’m obsessed with all of the photos she has taken for me and my family. I can’t thank her enough!

    Book her asap

    Does it get any better than Amanda!! She is literally the best of the best as her work speaks for itself but what you might not see is the amazing person behind the camera! She truly is so genuine and unapologetically herself which I love, she's also hilarious. She made myself, my husband, our bridal party, and family feel so comfortable on our day. I can't recommend her enough!! She is great at what she does.

    You Won't Find Anyone Better

    Amanda was an absolute dream to work with throughout our engagement and wedding. She was flexible, fun, and detail oriented. With a covid impacted wedding Amanda easily moved our date around a few times. The day of our wedding she showed up early and made the whole day so easy. Her pictures speak for themselves and you won't find an easier person to work with!

    Do yourself a favor and book Amanda!

    There are no words to describe how amazing Amanda is. Her work speaks for itself, but working with Amanda is a whole other bonus to hiring her as your wedding photographer. She is funny, witty, and makes it all so enjoyable. From the start of hiring her I knew she would be great. My husband and I can both be a little camera shy and awkward in front of a lens. With Amanda's encouragement, guidance, and basically being our hype squad, you would seriously never know. We have had an engagement session with Amanda, we booked her for holiday photos, and now our wedding. I will seriously use her for all my photo needs from here on out! I am posting pics from just the preview she gave us; they are stunning and I cannot wait to see the rest. These are some of the most importnat photos you will ever take so do yourself a favor and book Amanda, you will not regret it!

    The Absolute Best

    I literally cannot recommend Amanda enough! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, she has killed it! She makes everyone so comfortable and is able to capture the absolute best photos. Not only did we get the best photos, but we had so much fun throughout the entire process! I had a massive wedding party, which was definitely no small feat for most, but Amanda handled it flawlessly. Hire Amanda for your event!

    It felt like such a privilege for us to be able to book our wedding with Amanda Summers Photography. Amanda is an incredibly talented photographer and her business came highly recommended to us – we can certainly see why! From the start, Amanda was a joy to work with – she is incredibly professional but is also relatable and so much fun to be around. During our engagement session (that came with our wedding package), Amanda’s warmth and humor allowed this very awkward couple to have a blast – which absolutely showed in the engagement photos that we will always treasure. Amanda made herself available for questions and assistance throughout the planning process, including our wedding day timeline and suggestions for photo sites. On our wedding day, Amanda and her second shooter were professional and so easy to be with – all of our wedding party commented on how fun it was to work with them. Amanda makes everyone she works with feel like a friend and someone very important to her and, of course, our pictures are more stunning than we could have imagined. Amanda has a real knack for finding the beauty in her art and helping her clients to see that beauty within themselves. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer – and plan to be lifelong clients ourselves!

    As soon as we got engaged in 2015, my now husband and I knew we HAD to book Amanda for our wedding photography. We had recently attended a friend's wedding which Amanda was photographing, and we knew immediately that we wanted to book this friendly, hilarious, and extremely talented photographer for our wedding! Fast forward to 2017, wedding planning is in force and we hope to have engagement pictures done before the wedding; we book our pictures but its calling for rain so we reschedule. The rescheduled date comes, and it's absolutely pouring rain. After talking with Amanda for at least 30 minutes to make a decision, we change our location, rain stops, and our engagement pictures turn out beautiful! On the day of our wedding, Amanda and her second shooter were absolutely amazing. Her awesome personality really calmed my nerves! She kept everyone on schedule for pictures, and ensured we got pictures with everyone we were hoping to. We 100% recommend booking with Amanda! You won't regret it!!

    I contacted Amanda to see her availability for my wedding. Unfortunately, she was already booked! However, she was so sweet and reached out to other photographers to see if they were available and sent me a referral list! This was all done in two days. Talk about quick and exceptional customer service!

    If you're a Maryland, WV, VA bride you really shouldn't look any further. Amanda is an incredibly talented, charismatic, loving person. Amanda was our first vendor choice and we could not be more grateful. Amanda really got to know my husband and I on a personal level. She wanted to know all the details about our wedding and wanted to help in any way that she could. Amanda truly opens her job up to be much more than your photographer, helping you with a lot of wedding questions and concerns. Our engagement photos and wedding photos were stunning. Somehow she captured every moment perfectly. Amanda will be our photographer through all of life adventures now!

    Let me start by saying Amanda's photos are a stunning pieces of artwork. I found her through the venue I booked my wedding at and her work did not even compare to some of the other photographers in our price range. Amanda's prices are unbelievable for the quality of work she does, how fast she works, and how she goes out of her way to help you every step of the process. Amanda not only was our photographer but also became a fill in wedding planner who recommended almost all of the other vendors I used and absolutely loved! She even gets you connected with past brides in the area who can help with planning experiences. My husband and I were unable to do an engagement shoot due to being out of state but Amanda was so quick to respond via email to answer any questions I had. She also made great suggestions for timeline and things I never thought of!
    On the day of the wedding she and her second shooter were SO organized and helped me fit in an first look with my father, first look with the groom, and most of the wedding party before the ceremony so we had time to enjoy the cocktail hour and our guests! I have to end with my favorite quality of Amanda and that is her genuine excitement and humor. At our wedding, she did everything she could be put our minds at ease and make us feel like her best clients ever! She talks you through all the poses and make you laugh through the ones that feel a little awkward which are SO worth it when you get them back. As far as speed of work, I had a sneak peek of a few photos the day after my wedding, access to all the images online within a few weeks of the wedding, and mailed USB sticks of the gallery shortly there after. I could not have been more impressed with the editing she did and all the beautiful moments she was able to capture. I will forever be so thankful she was recommended to me and will definitely recommend her to anyone needing a wedding photographer.

    Amanda is the most amazing and talented photographer, and such an awesome person on top of that! She was the first and the best vendor decision we made for our wedding day! She made everything so easy and run smoothly for both our engagement photos and for our wedding day. She has a unique ability to make you feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera, which in turn yields gorgeous photos! She even got my nephew to smile in ALL of his photos- which is a difficult task!!! She also values the quality of her work and is always evolving to make sure she provides the best product/photos to her couples. She consistently went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. We are so glad to have the most beautiful photos to cherish for years to come. I will definitely be coming back to Amanda for all of our future photography needs!
    -Erin Waller, our second shooter for our wedding day, was equally wonderful!

    Please do yourselves a favor and book Amanda Summers Photography for any of your photography needs!! We were lucky enough to book Amanda for both our engagement and wedding photos and it was the best decision I have ever made. Her amazing personality makes you feel comfortable behind the camera within seconds. She will keep you laughing and feeling confident throughout your entire day and her photographers are some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen! Having a second shooter to capture different angles and to knock out different photos at the same time so Amanda could capture everything was awesome. On the day of my wedding, she showed up early and began shooting right away. She had clear umbrellas in case of rain, a "bride" hanger for photos of my dress and an emergency kit (with breath mints!). I think that shows how much she cares about what she does. She truly has a gift and I cannot wait to travel home to Maryland for sessions with Amanda throughout the rest of my life!

    I can’t say enough good things about Amanda. 1. her photography is amazing!!!
    2. she constantly reached out to me over the 2 years we had her booked to see if I needed any help with anything while I was deployed (so kind!)
    3. she KILLED it at organizing everyone for photos. it would have been pure chaos without her.

    & there’s so much more! I can’t wait to get our pictures back & for our next shoot with her :)

    Amanda is absolutely amazing! My finance and I booked her for both engagement and our future wedding and after having our engagement shoot I cannot wait to see our wedding photos!

    She is extremely responsive, always positive and so so helpful. She goes above and beyond and am truly thankful that I get to be photographed by her.

    My fiance and I had never really been behind a camera before for professional pictures and she could tell my fiance was a little nervous and I couldn't believe my ears after the session that he loved doing it and wouldn't mind doing pictures in the future! She is calm, patient, creative and made both of us laugh and have a good time.. which definitely reflected in our photographs!

    **Update!**
    I wish I could do two reviews - First for engagement and second for the wedding! Amanda and her second shooter were absolutely AMAZING! So fun to work with and they really know what they are doing, even if you feel awkward! Amanda will be my forever photographer for upcoming life events!
