Amanda was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Calm, professional, and easygoing, she made the entire experience feel effortless. Her pricing was very reasonable, and the quality of her work truly speaks for itself. I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who delivers both great results and a great experience. 10/10

Amanda and her partner did an AMAZING job capturing our August 2024 wedding. My husband and I were blown away when we saw our gallery. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Arrae Photography to any couple.

Wonderful, Collaborative Photographer
I can't say enough good things about partnering with Amanda for our wedding! She was very clear, kind and professional throughout the entire process. Something we loved was how collaborative she made the experience. And as a member of the LGBTQ community, my husband and I were so comfortable working with her. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further!

Amazing experience
Our experience with Arrae photography was 10/10 from beginning to end. Our photos were expertly taken, and the quality was astonishing. Amanda really took our location into consideration and put together some very unique photos. She also made me feel a lot less sad about it raining and made the rain a showpiece in our photos.

Amazing photographer!
Amanda was an amazing photographer to work with! She did both our engagement and wedding photos. I definitely recommend doing this as we spent time during the engagement shoot learning how to pose together. Then by the wedding day, we were already comfortable with getting our pictures taken and knew how Amanda’s process worked. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. It rained all day on our wedding day, but Amanda worked her MAGIC and took some truly magical shots. She used some special tricks with lighting up the rain so it looked like the rain drops are glowing behind us. Even though I was disappointed that we couldn’t take pictures out on the golf course, she was able to get some very pretty greenery as a background for us by using the porch as a cover. We also did venture out into the rain, and Amanda had cute bubble umbrellas for us to use! We got our wedding pictures back EXACTLY 4 weeks after the wedding as promised and they were as beautiful as expected. It was also really nice that there was an online album so we could easily share with family and friends. Book Amanda (Arrae Photography) for your wedding day and you will get the best wedding photos you could ever dream of!

Best photographer EVER!!!!!
Amanda is one of the best photographers I know, and we hired her to capture our big day. There are not many people who are truly passionate about what they do, but when you meet and work with Amanda you know shes one of the few!
Amanda has this ease about her, which is contagious - she knows how to make you feel special and relaxed about being photographed. She is also great at capturing moments, she is like a ninja waiting to capture that laugh between you and your husband or the hug between you and a grand parent. In addition to being an amazing photographer, she is also super organized. She has a great system set up to make sure you and her are on the same page.
I would HIGHLY recommend Arrae Photography to anyone who is looking for someone to capture their special moments in life!

Arrae photography captured our dream day perfectly!!
My husband and I used Arrae photography's services for our engagement photos and wedding day pictures. Amanda was the first out of multiple photographers that we met with when trying to find our photographer. Her kindness and professional mannerisms were what made us initially like her. On top of how nice she is, her photography is one-of-a-kind. She truly has a gift. The way that she captured candid, once in a lifetime moments at our engagement and wedding days is stunning. The lighting and backgrounds she uses/finds are so beautiful! I tear up looking at our photos because she has captured my husband and I's love so beautifully. Amanda was also wonderful at working with large, loud groups. We did family portraits in the church after the ceremony, and she was able to coordinate all of this chaos of our large families with grace and professionalism. I couldn't believe someone would be able to do that, to be honest! Bottom line is is that Arrae photography will do an absolutely amazing job, and we will go back to Amanda for future photo opportunities. Her photography is a true gift and you should choose her for your photo shoots, whatever they might be for! Thank you, Amanda! Sincerely, Bridget & Alexander

Best Investment Ever!
Amanda from Arrae Photography was AMAZING as were the images that captured our special day! Arrae Photography had a good selection of packages to choose from to meet your needs, and offers customization to meet them even further. Amanda was available whenever needed and made the process painless. We received nearly 1,000 images that looked great, were organized, and captured all of the special moments. Amanda is worth every penny and more!

Best photographer ever, you will not be sorry
Amanda worked tirelessly to ensure we got all the photos we wanted, needed, and more! We received so many comments from our guests that our photographer worked her butt off and did not sit down once, and our photos reflect that. She had so many wonderful ideas and we love showing off our wedding pictures to our friends and family!
What's more, she made it fun. We also did our engagement photos with her and we spent the entire time laughing. She is an amazing photographer who will make sure your day is everything you need it to be!

Amanda is everything and more that I expected out of my wedding photographer! She is very personalable, efficient, and has a great eye for capturing all moments we never want to forget. We talked several times leading up to the wedding as she wanted to ensure everything would go smoothly which was very reassuring. I received many compliments on my engagement and wedding pictures and plan on using her for baby pictures, family pics, etc in the future. I reccomend Arrae photography to every bride- Amanda will make it a stress free experience!

I can't express how amazing Amanda is. Choosing her as my wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I have ever made! She is so professional, sweet, and fun to work with. My husband is not someone who likes taking pictures and wasn't necessarily looking forward to taking so many on the wedding day, but even he said she was great to work with. She gives great direction, and really goes above and beyond to get the best, most beautiful shots. I just got my photos back and am not only amazed, but I could not be happier. Amanda is worth every penny. BOOK AMANDA!!!!

Amanda is an absolutely fantastic photographer and such a pleasure to work with. From the planning stage to the final product, she captured every wish and desire with our wedding photography and delivered exceptional results. There were several moments during the ceremony and reception that Robin and I weren't even aware of that she caught on camera that we will treasure forever. Her lens is able to perfectly capture the various emotions, color, lighting, texture, detail, and so many special moments to be cherished forever. Thank you so much Amanda, we highly recommend your services and talent to any and everyone!

Hiring Amanda as our wedding photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made in wedding planning. From our first time meeting her, we were sure that she was the right choice for our event and we were not disappointed! Amanda made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photos, and came back with beautiful shots. On our wedding day, her and her second shooter were complete rockstars. Amanda was extremely organized, kept me optimistic even with the threat of a full day of thunderstorms, and brought a collection of awesome clear umbrellas just in case. She was great about suggesting locations for our photos, and did some scouting in the days prior to find the perfect spot for our first look.
Every guest loved interacting with Amanda, and we have received nothing but complements on our photos. She fit right in with our group, and made everyone feel relaxed all day.
Amanda will now be our family photographer forever, and we would very highly recommend Amanda and Arrae Photography for your wedding day, or any other photos needs!

I could sum up Amanda's review in two words: hire her!
But that wouldn't be as useful to you, the person looking for a wedding photographer. So let me tell you a little more. I didn't get a chance to meet Amanda before the wedding because I mostly planned from out of state. I chose her because I liked her portfolio and she had flexibility in packages (I didn't want or need a photographer for the entire day). Not having met her didn't matter one bit! Amanda is kind, professional, creative and GREAT at directing people. I can't even tell you how necessary of a skill that is when you're looking for a wedding photographer. She's super professional to get the shots you need, and lots of fun!
Amanda also notices the details: posing, hair, flowers held too high, too much space between people. Plus, she researches your areas before the day so she's ready to go with suggestions/ideas. She also made up one on the spot at my location that gave me some pretty stunning portraits.
I love the photos I got. Amanda is worth every penny and her gallery options for purchase/download are great too. So yeah, hire her!

Amanda did an amazing job capturing our special day! She was easy to work with, professional, and made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease throughout the entire day. The beautiful wedding photos we received from Amanda are more than we could have hoped for and we’re so happy with how they turned out. She is extremely talented, detail oriented, helpful and responsive, and might I add she has the patience of a saint (one of my bridesmaids decided to start directing the photoshoot and Amanda handled it with grace and poise!) She had great ideas for changing up the poses, scenery and configurations for our photos and was open to us giving input. Amanda - thank you for the wonderful photos from our special day! We now have so many memories to look back on! My husband and I highly recommend Amanda for your photography needs, you will not be disappointed!

I cannot say enough great things about Amanda! Our pictures turned out absolutely incredible! Amanda knew, after meeting with my husband and I, exactly what we wanted. She's fun to work with and has that "eye" you're looking for in a photographer. She's professional with out being stuffy and fit right in with our family and friends. We went to several locations and each one captures something different and amazing. I highly recommend Arrae Photography!!!

Amanda was amazing to work with from start to finish! Neither my wife nor I are particularly great at, or comfortable with, taking photos, but Amanda was so fun and easy to work with, she exceeded our expectations and made the photo portion of our wedding much more fun. After the ceremony, she had the unenviable task of herding all our family members (we had close to 100) for a family photo. We thought this would take hours, but Amanda was on-task and in charge, getting the groups together very quickly. On top off the great wedding-day experience, she was able to turn around some "preview" photos in a day or two, then mailed the USB drive of all our photos in a few weeks.
We'd highly recommend Amanda and Arrae photography to anyone!

Amanda is a wonderful person and an amazing Photographer. I felt so comfortable on my wedding day knowing that I wouldn't have to worry about any of the photos looking wrong or not composed right.

Simply put, Amanda has your back. She'll make sure you get the shots you want and if you're not sure what/how you want a location photographed, she's quick with the ideas and they're amazing! Amanda is creative, professional, and a lot of fun to work with. She was recommended from a friend's wedding and we definitely suggest booking her ASAP!!

Amanda was simply amazing!! We hired her for our engagement session + wedding day. We really appreciated her sense of humor. It sure did help us get through our freezing cold engagement session and then through the insane monsoon weather that occurred the day of our wedding. She was super positive and encouraging the day of the wedding which was very nice since I was freaking out (more so internally) about everything due to the rain.
Her photos are absolutely stunning and while I don't consider myself very photogenic, she was able to capture my husband and I's relationship perfectly. I'm still surprised that we didn't mess up more shots since we kept laughing so much! Also, the two week turnaround for the photos was beyond amazing. I highly recommend Amanda for wedding photography. Hopefully we will be in the area again to enjoy her services in the future =]

Having Amanda (Arrae Photography) as our wedding photographer was an absolute blessing. She worked very hard to make sure our day was everything we dreamed it would be, and she managed to capture the most amazing parts of our day. There are a lot of photographers who take beautiful pictures, but Amanda went above and beyond by not just capturing pictures, but moments. Things like my husband wiping away a tear during our vows, the laughs shared between my father, father-in-law, and husband, and a joyous look shared between family members, are now things we can look back on and cherish for the rest of our lives. I don't know how she managed to capture the magic of our ceremony, as my husband and I promised to love one another unconditionally for the rest of our lives, but she did. When booking Arrae Photography, you are investing in not only beautiful pictures, but a photographer who truly cares about and understands the amazing thing that is your wedding day.

Words cannot begin to describe how wonderful and professional Amanda is. My then-fiance and I had no idea what we were doing when it came to planning the time frame of the wedding day and when taking pictures. We relied heavily on Amanda's clear instructions to get us through - and she did! Amanda is a visionary, a superb photographer, and frankly one of the most enjoyable parts of the planning and wedding day for me. She can make anyone smile - including our exhausted two year old niece! The icing on the cake with Amanda is that the pictures she takes are absolutely STUNNING! If you get a chance to work with Amanda, do it. She's creative, inspiring, adaptable, patient, artistic, funny, and an absolute delight. I could go on!

Even our guests commented on how friendly and knowledgeable she was. Instantly she put our worries and fears to rest and made us comfortable in front of the camera. The results are breathtaking images that we will have to cherish for a lifetime. Arrae Photography is absolutely worth every. single. penny.

Arrae Photography was incredible. Working with Amanda and her team was a joy and she made coordinating my big day a breeze. We did not have to worry about selecting locations as she had a ton in mind for us already. The photos turned out beautiful and she was very friendly and easy to work with. I enjoyed having her next to us on our wedding day. We had a huge bridal party and she did a great job pulling everyone together in a nonaggressive way. She captured candid moments throughout the day as well as created posed shots that seemed natural and beautiful. The packaging of our photos was professional and elegant and she perfected even the smallest details. She was not pushy in getting us to purchase add ons and accommodated us on every crazy ask. I cannot wait to work with her again in the future and recommend her to anyone planning their event.

Amanda did an amazing job capturing our wedding on camera! She was willing to work with multiple families while maintaining a highly professional manner and keeping everyone on time! When I had questions, Amanda was quick to answer. When I needed help with timing the big day, Amanda had a pre-made schedule. Her attention to detail and naturally open nature allowed for an fun and relaxing portrait time, as well as a totally unobtrusive presence during the ceremony and reception. I would recommend Amanda without hesitation to anyone in search of a photographer!

Amanda (Arrae Photography) was such a fun, easy going person to work with. She worked magic... seeming to be a million places at once while we never felt like there was a big photo shoot going on. She was extremely prompt with everything, well organized, and easy to get in touch with. On top of all that, our photos are amazing. I think we had a thousand beautiful shots from her within 2 weeks. We highly recommend Arrae!!

Amanda was wonderful to work with on our special day. She made us feel very comfortable and is very professional. We had a transportation issue which set us back an hour or so. She rounded up our wedding party and took so many great pictures in record timing to help us get to our reception on time! Very responsive and flexible.

Amanda was an absolute joy to work with. She took our engagement photos as well as our wedding day photos. My husband was very anxious about having our engagement pictures taken, but she made us feel so comfortable, and he said afterwards that he really loved our engagement session! Amanda arrived on time on our wedding day, and took the most beautiful pictures. We have not stopped getting compliments on our beautiful wedding photography since sharing the pictures with our family and friends. She was professional, kind, easy going, down to earth, and made sure that we stayed on track throughout the day. We are so happy that we chose to work with Amanda, and would give her our highest recommendation!

Amanda was wonderful! Our daughter was so excited after speaking on the phone with her to discuss the "must have" wedding photos. Amanda was so encouraging...promising there were ways to get the photos our daughter wanted despite the threat of rain/snow which really relieved our daughter. We have seen 6 of the photos posted on Arrae's site...and they are more than amazing...wow...I cannot wait to see the rest! I believe Amanda captured this special day with such artistry. She was so great to work with!

Photography was a BIG deal for me for my wedding. After hours of searching online, I was lucky enough to find Arrae. I met with Amanda and knew she was the photographer for us! She was so creative and I just loved her attitude!
Before the wedding we had a phone chat where I filled her in on my thoughts and dreams! She did everything I asked and more. She was so organized and really directed ALL the parents, kids and wedding party throughout the day. We had quite a few weddings after ours last summer and most either my husband or I were in. No one could compare to Amanda! Especially when it came to directions. She really made the day run effortlessly for us! You will not be disappointed. When we received our photo CD and THE ALBUM, I was beyond excited. She captured the day perfectly!
I recommend her over and over again!

Amanda is a photographer that I would HIGHLY recommend! After seeing many friends of mine disappointed in their wedding photos, I knew I had to do research to find someone to capture my big day with amazing photos. I found Amanda, and have received compliment after compliment on her work. Great value too. Don't pay twice as much for someone without the artistic eye that Amanda has. I will definitely use Arrae Photography in the future when we expand our family.

Amanda was wonderful. She was willing to travel for our wedding and engagement photos and was flexible in allowing us to choose a custom package. She is such a professional and knows how to put people at ease, which I soon realized is a very important quality in a photographer. The photos she took were stunning, and it was amazing how many she managed to take when she was working by herself at the wedding. I'm so glad we found her!

My husband and I were married on August 20th 2011 in the wedding of our dreams. This past holiday season was spent with family pouring over our beautiful leather bound wedding album as we relived all the happiness and wonder of that special day. As always when I reflect on the talent of our photographer, Amanda Montgomery I am simply amazed. She captured every moment, every expression, and every emotion in the many perfect photographs she took. Our wedding ceremony was filmed from all angles without anyone even realizing a picture was being taken. I can’t begin to describe how happy I am that we chose Arrae Photography and grateful I am that Amanda was not already booked for that day. I first learned of her by her many awards and published photos and was impressed by the universal top notch reviews given to her by her clients. Her website is a wonderful display of her abilities. It gives insight into her keen eye for beauty, form and perfection, her high levels of energy and commitment, and her obvious love for the work that she does. Still, it requires meeting Amanda in person to fully appreciate her kind and generous nature. On my wedding day Amanda was there the minute I got out of my car helping in every way she could and taking the exact pictures I wanted without ever needing any guidance.
Our wedding package was very reasonably priced and included an engagement photo session. Neither my husband nor I like to pose for pictures and we expressed our feelings to Amanda. She suggested taking pictures of us doing all the things we love to do together and came to Kalamazoo from Grand Rapids to spend several hours with us. The pictures of us walking in the woods with our dog, grooming our horse, eating sushi in the restaurant where we met, and riding our motorcycles felt natural and fun. They are preserved in a beautiful custom engagement book and the wallet prints we ordered and placed in mini photo books for our guests made excellent and much appreciated table favors.
Thank you, Amanda!

Amanda was awesome! She was able to get some of the traditional photos done, but she was there almost until the end capturing a lot of the fun ones too. She was very attentive and made sure that we got all of the pictures of items that we wanted. Amanda is very friendly and fun, but she has a tremendous amount of professionalism too. I would highly recommend Arrae Photography!

Amanda was very professional while at the same time easy to work with. She made my husband I feel very comfortable both on our wedding day photos and the engagement photo shoot. Unfortunately we had weather issues on our wedding day and she was there not only to make the adjustments she had to make with us moving our ceremony inside but to all so to assist with making sure everyone else knew what was happening. The photos she took captured who we are to a T. It has been such a struggle to decide what photos to order. I would recommend her to any future bride or family.

Amanda is the best! She is so friendly and professional at the same time and I appreciated her direction, especially during the family and bridal party portraits. She really knows what she is doing, that is for sure. She even brought directions to the MSU gardens for our limo driver and called the gardens for me to make sure that we wouldn't be interfering with any other events if we stopped by to take pictures! My pictures are wonderful; we're both so happy with them and our family members all loved them. She's fast, too. The proofs were online less than a week after our wedding and our wedding album preview is already finished, meaning we will have that in about four weeks or so!

Amanda is AMAZING! Beautiful photos and super easy-going! Being the groom, I wasn't the one who found Amanda/Arrae Photography, but I did have a few moments where we interacted prior to the wedding, and certainly utilized her services the day of our wedding. We love her work and loved working with her!

I would HIGHLY recommend Arrae Photography!!!

Amanda is wonderful to work with and very attentive. She has a great eye for "the perfect picture spot" and a very artistic style that translates into beautiful pictures, some more traditional and some very unique. She's very willing to capture the images you want, and if you also ask her to do what she thinks is best, you get a really great set of pictures! We really appreciated the outside the box creative thinking, as it resulted in the variety we hoped for in our pictures. She always seemed to be in the perfect place throughout the wedding just snapping away. We couldn't be happier with the final products - the albums are beautiful and unique, and the prints are just perfect! I'd recommend Arrae Photography to anyone.

Amanda,
I dont think there is enough room for me to write a review on you! =]
Amanda was absolutely fabulous! From the initial meeting to picking up our wedding album- she exceeded all expectations! All our pictures (engagement & wedding) turned out absolutely perfect! I couldn't imagine them any better! I was blown away and have cried looking at them many times! Our guest raved about the save the dates and the thank you cards! We got thank you cards for our thank you cards! I cant' not say enough good things! I am looking for reasons to work the Amanda again! I would highly recommend her to anyone (and I have!) and I look forward to the day we can work together again!
Thank you again Amanda for making our wedding picture dreams come true!

Amanda is wonderful! She captured everything that I wanted which wasn't the same old boring stand in a line photos and they are BEAUTIFUL! She is really nice, easy to work with, willing to get dirty for a good shot, and it all shows through in her work. And on top of all that she is really reasonably priced and has a super fast turnaround (I got my digital gallery while I was on my honeymoon!). You can tell that she does this because she loves it and not to get rich and famous and I love that about her! I fully recommend her and would give her 10 stars if I could! Check out her blog/website - you can see all of her great work for yourself.

When looking for a wedding photographer I found many to be very very expesive, many would only shoot certain types or a certain "style" of photos and many were very poor at communicating in a timely manner. When communicating with Amanda of Arrae Photography, she certainly exceeded all expectations. She was always very prompt to reply to my emails or calls. She asked ME what kind of style of photos I wanted instead of telling me how they would be. And I felt her prices were definitely reasonable.
Our engagement photos were amazing and I could not wait to see what she would produce for our wedding pictures. When that day came, Amanda was on time to the minute, organized and professional. She was more than a photographer to me that day. She helped me by dealing with my florist for me while I got ready to minimize stress. She understands brides and how they feel on their wedding day and her great personality and demeanor helped to put me at ease.
She took so many pictures, I don't know how she even found the time to get them all. She took wonderful photos of every aspect of the ceremony, the getting ready portion, formal pictures, and she also included a lot of reception pictures which I thought really helped to include all of our guests as part of our special day.
The proof book we received was incredible and I have gotten SO many compliments on the photos and on the classiness of her finished products. She is an amazing photographer. If you chose her for your wedding, family portraits or any other occasion, I promise you will be so happy you did!

Amanda was so much fun to work with!! She was very outgoing and easy to get along with, very creative, and she stayed on top of everything! It took away so much stress on our wedding day knowing that she had everything taken care of and that we didn't have to stop and let her know what we wanted pictures of, she was already there and shooting! Our pictures turned out GREAT! She was very quick in getting the proofs up and our album to us. She was also quick at responding to any questions.
I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a photographer and plan on using her often in the future for other occasions. We couldn't have asked for a better person to spend so much time with on our wedding day!

Everyone dreams of having a wedding, and with that wedding you dream for a stress free wedding with no bumps and no hidden challenges. You day dream about remembering this day for the rest of your life. Amanda made this possible. We have pictures that not only showed exactly what we wanted people to see and feel, but she made it very, very easy. Every experience with her was an amazingly good time. Nothing felt unnatural or pushed. She made things happen without you knowing and we were wowed by all of the final results , as well as our entire family and friends.
We thank her from the bottom of our hearts, and know we will always be able to have the memories from her hard work.

Amanda made the entire experience very enjoyable. I do not particularly like getting my pictures taken, because it tends to typically be for myself, very tedious and uncomfortable. But Amanda was a lot of fun and set my husband and I at ease with her fun personality. She has a gift for capturing life in her photos. I was amazed! She is very creative and has made her own niche' photography. I have already recommended her to several of my friends and family, I am really impressed with her work. Amanda is also professional and extremely flexible with you. My wedding was at 10:00 in the morning and we did pictures before hand, so you can imagine how early we had to start, but Amanda is willing to do anything to make your day special. Also for what you receive in your package is well worth the money! I have seen alot of people pay alot more for less in both quality and the amount of things performed by the photographers in their packages. I would recommend Amanda to anyone anytime, she is worth every penny.

Amanda provide us with exquisite photos of us for our engagement session, and then again with our wedding. Our proofs were ready for us to view in a few days, and then our proof book arrived almost on the exact day we returned from our honeymoon. Her creative skills behind the lense of a camera are magical at times. She caters to the bride and groom, instead of being off taking pictures that other people are demanding. She took a lot of time to talk with us and get an idea of what type of pictures are were really after. I would go with Amanda a million times over if I had the chance!! She is a great asset to any wedding.

I spent about two months looking around for a photographer when I was planning my wedding, and Arrae Photography was the perfect choice. Amanda has great timing, great instinct, and the pictures were vibrant and stunning.
Amanda is professional yet like a friend you've known for years. She goes the extra mile with a smile on her face and also because she wants to. She forms a bond with her clients which makes everything so comfortable. She's really invested in you and making sure you get the pictures of your dreams. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone for any kind of photography needs. She is hands-down amazing.
And my mother is still showing off the pictures.

Amanda was wonderful! We loved every photo she took. She was great to work with, always full of great ideas and also willing to use any idea we came with as well. I was extremely happy with the finished product. We will treasure our photos for years to come. I would (and have!) recommend Arrae Photography to anyone!!

The best part about my wedding is being able to look back and remember the day through the photos that were taken. Every detail was captured and done so elegantly, and beautifully. Amanda was amazing and I have referred her to anyone I know that is getting married. She captured the essence and personality of my event and it showed through the pictures. She was like an assistant to me, and when I needed something she was right there to help. She went way above and beyond just taking pictures. Her price point is amazing, compared to all the other photographers out there. It was best investment in our wedding because of the quality. Everyone I have reffered has loved Arrae Photography as much as I did, so I know you will not have to worry about being disappointed if you book with Arrae! Just go ahead and call NOW! ;)

Amanda at Arrae photography is amazing. The value that you get for the cost of her services is unprecedented. When I was looking at different prices for photographers, I really freaked out at how much some photographers charged. I knew I didn't want to skimp on my wedding photos though. I was so glad I found Arrae Photography. Amanda really showed me that amazing wedding photos don't need to take up 50-90% of my wedding budget. Honestly, I've been to many weddings and seen a lot of photographers in action and then see the final product that does not live up to what the photographer charges. Amanda delivers a beautiful, professional, high-end result at a fraction of the price.
She is also SO GREAT on site. This girl KNOWS weddings. She knows how to coordinate a crowd, how to get the professional shots, the family shots, and the standard stuff out of the way quickly, efficiently, and most importantly - beautifully! She does wonderful candid work and really is a fly-on-the-wall on your big day. She knows what is important to you and makes sure nothing takes away from enjoying your wedding.
I really could go on and on. I would not have chosen anyone else to photograph my wedding, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants their wedding day captured in a real and special way.

Amanda was amazing!! To be honest, I was kind of clueless when it came to the kind of photographs I wanted at my wedding, but Amanda was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She was always very prompt and professional in returning my phone calls, answering any questions, and soothing an anxious bride (and her family) on the big day. My husband and I particularly impressed with her ability to capture those special intimate details during a wedding- like the emotion in the faces of our friends and family during the ceremony. Her photos really captured the atmosphere of the whole event and we loved the original ideas she had for the bridal party and family portraits. I would highly recommend Arrae Photography. I wish we had our engagement portraits taken by her too!!

I love Arrae Photography. Arrea photography has the quality of big photography companies without the huge price. My wedding photos turned out great! Everytime I look at my album, I am brought right back to my wedding day. Amanda caught every moment. My favorite part of my pictures is that Amanda took candid shots of my guests. Because being the bride you don't always get to meet and greet everyone at the wedding, it was so great seeing those candid shots of my guests having fun. I found out about Arrea Photography through a reference and based on my experence, I have recommended Arrea photography to everyone I know.

Amanda is an awesome person and photographer. She was very flexible and really made the experience fun. We had an engagement session with her, which helped us get to know each other before the big day. She is truly talented and made us feel at ease! We have received countless compliments on our wedding pictures. I would definitely recommend Arrae Photography and would use her services again if I still lived in Michigan.

Amanda is super professional. We are both terrible at picture taken and we don't enjoy it at all, so this was huge tast for her. Amanda made it so easy for us! My husband said "It was not painful at all!" She was on time, knew what I wanted, gave her a list of pictures and she was efficient in getting everyone in the photograph. She did not ask us to do crazy pose, everything was natural. We didn't let our guests wait too long and the pictures turned out great! The pictures were already ready to view when we got back from our honeymoon.

The photographer was prompt replying to questions, emails, suggestions. She was flexible with changing locations, times as needed. We got our proofs and album fast: within a month after the wedding!
