  This review is long overdue but Amanda was so amazing!! She took our engagement photo and wedding photos and everything turned out absolutely perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. She's so fun, friendly and creative. You have to pick a photographer that you can click with since you're with them so much during your specialist day and I can't say enough great things about Amanda. She kept me calm when I started to stress out. She said plenty of funny comments that makes you laugh for real for those sweet picture moments. Her editing skill is top notch too. Over all, we loved every since picture and her turn around time was super quick for the quality of the photos! Do yourself a favor and book Amanda and you won't have to worry about how your wedding pictures turn out cause they'll be amazing.

  We did our engagement shoot in the desert with Amanda, she has so many creative ideas for shots, knew exactly how to help my fiancé surprise me, and even helped download our entire engagement shoot. She was a blast to work with, and took some amazing pictures that fully express our engagement! Love having the prints around the house. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

  Delanie, I can't say enough awesome things about you two. Although it took a bare-footed hike to get to that mysteriously beautiful stonewall that over-looked the entire valley, I couldn't have asked for more as you and Josh so elegantly just let me capture such a special time moment for you two two. Whether it was walking 100 feet high at the edge of a stonewall, or walking through the desert dunes, a picture can truly tell a thousand words when it comes to you two. The smiles, the love, and the fun that resonates within you two is beautifully captivating.

  Amanda is beyond amazing! She goes above and beyond to give you phenomenal photos. From our engagement to our wedding photos, Amanda provided the best work and super professional. She was able to preserve every special moment for us. Amanda was quick to always reply and answer any questions and concerns that we had. She really takes the time to get to know you and your partner to be able to supply you both with the best experience possible. Amanda took the time to even send us an organizational sheet so that we could keep all of out wedding information and contacts organized. We were also given a checklist prior to our engagement session for reminders on things to bring or things to do. Not to mention she brought along tons of props for us to use; two beach cruisers, blankets, and not to mention a swing! I highly recommend her if you’d like to hire someone who can make your photos magical! You will not be disappointed with Amanda by your side for your wedding!

  Amanda has a great eye and is extremely talented. She is passionate and comfortable to work with. I loved the final edits of all my pictures! They are so lovely. I will definitely book her for the future.

  Steph! Photographing you is always a wildly fun time. From wild waves underneath the oceanside pier to the quietly beautiful and serene Yosemite National Park. It is a blessing that you give me the opportunity to capture so many memorable moments in your life.

  Amanda and Justin are just amazing! Me and my now hubby found her for our engagement and wedding photos! Amanda is great at giving direction and was able to make us feel very comfortable. She is extremely flexible and asked to always let us know if we wanted to take pictures with our guests. Her pictures are so light and crisp, you couldn't ask for better quality. I would definitely recommend Amanda and Justin to anyone. She even helps with a timeline for the wedding if needed. She went over and beyond and was so relaxed and calm during our crazy day! I can't wait to see all the pictures! I really can't say enough about her professionalism and great personality! Thank you both!

  Oh my gosh! The family you and Anthony have now united is absolutely amazing and we are absolutely blessed to have been able to photograph your guys' wedding. I think one of the most awesome parts of being a photographer is that Justin and I get to develop a friendship with the couples and the families we get to meet...and you guys are the perfect example. We are excited and cannot wait to take your soon-to-be family photos hopefully in the near future.

  I cannot say enough good things about Amanda and her team. From the second we met with her and her lovely fiance/partner we knew they were a perfect fit with us! Amanda's passion for photography shines throughout the entire process and her attention to detail is amazing! She is so thoughtful, talented and such a delight to work with. She makes you feel at ease and captures the best moments. She is also beyond reasonably priced! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer in the area. She will be our photographer for any and every upcoming life event!

  Sean and Monica, "Thank you" just doesn't explain how incredibly grateful I am for not only your guys' kind words, but for trusting in me to document what I can only describe as one of the most beautifully elegant and fun weddings I have ever photographed. From your beautiful ceremony that just radiated with love from all your guests to your wildly fun reception, and I will never forget the beautiful tribute of everyone sharing stories and memories of your loved ones over fine cigars under the starry night. Again, thank you both.

  Amanda not only captured some of the most incredibly fun and memorable photos of our big day, but when she delivered our photos we were joyfully surprised to see that she captured some of the most precious moments my husband and I shared together on our wedding day. Thank you so incredibly much Amanda..your photos brought such happy tears to my eyes as a remember our big day and the happiness of everyone that you were able to capture in the photos. I would not trust anyone else with such an important day in our lives. Her experience spoke volumes as we did not have a coordinator and she happily helped and made perfect suggestions that made our wedding day go perfectly.

  Trust in this photographer. She WILL capture your souls, your emotions, your essence. I am amazed at the images she created for us. Beauty. Style. Creativity. Everything you could possibly want in an image of you and your loved ones. I am filled with gratitude that Amanda was our wedding photographer.

  Absolutely beautiful. First our engagement, then my budoir photos, and soon to capture our big day. Amanda's unique perspective captured genuine moments between my fiance and I with the most incredible views, and a stunning sunset. Thank you so much for working so diligently on getting the prints done early for me (He absolutely loved the budoir photos, his jaw literally dropped).

  Thank you so much Amanda! My fiance and I didn't think we would be able to afford a photographer for a full engagement shoot and our wedding, but Amanda made it possible, and we are blessed to be able to call her our photographer. Our engagement photos are simply jaw-dropping. I don't know how you were able to capture every detail from the sky, to the landscape, and our emotion all in one, but we simply couldn't have asked for a more talented photographer. Again, thank you Amanda, and we can't wait to discuss more about our wedding details.

  Amanda and her team did an amazing job of capturing my wedding proposal and traveled over an hour away to the location. They helped plan it all to surprise my fiancé during the proposal. She had no idea that the whole day she was being photographed while we were wandering through San Diego. To top off the incognito photo session they set up an over the top proposal setting on the beach at sunset. The beach was covered with candles and rose petals in the area that I proposed. Then after the proposal they had a table on the beach set up for us to have a romantic dinner on the beach. This dinner was amazing with dinner plates , silver ware, placemats, table linen, napkins, sparkling cider in a champagne bucket, water glasses, dozen roses in a vase, me and my fiancé's pictures in frames. Amanda and her team went above and beyond my expectations and help me to set the perfect romantic evening to propose to my fiancé and make her feel special like she deserves. I couldn't have asked for any better service and look forward to using Amanda to photograph our wedding.

  Ryan, where do I start... From your beautifully crafted proposal, to your beautifully adventurous rogue-wave engagement shoot, and finally your incredibly fun wedding that wasn't complete without a mechanical bull, handcuffs, and of course a mariachi band. Your guys' wedding brought so much joy to all your guests, and I am honored you chose Justin and I to capture such jovial moments in your lives to be cherished and remembered.

  Amanda did such an amazing job capturing our wedding day. The photos were so romantic and special. She was easy to work with and was super patient with all of our running around day of.
  A tip to the brides- we went over a list of photos we wanted for the wedding with Amanda, but I think it would've been super helpful to have that list either printed or on a phone so we could check them off as we got those photos. Its so hard to remember everything you want in the moment. We had great photos of my husband and me, but i totally forgot to get one of me and dad just smiling to the camera or me and my mom. Seems like something pretty basic, but with the family photos and all the candid shots of them helping me get dressed we totally forgot to do a nice posed photo. All in all, the quality of the photos are AMAZING!!! we are so happy to have them and so grateful to have worked with Amanda.
