    Absolutely amazing!

    We can not say enough good things about our photographer Amanda Nellesen with HeartsFoto. Last minute we had to find a new photographer for our wedding and she was on the list of photographers that came recommend by our venue. Looking at her photos I feel in love with her work and was so excited when I reached out to her and found out she was available. She instantly made us both feel at ease and just had one of those personality’s that you can’t help but love. During the day of our wedding she had this way about her that made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed while making it fun. When we got the pictures back they were absolutely stunning! They will be pictures we will treasure always. If you are looking for a wedding photographer we can not recommend her enough!!

    The Best Photo Experience

    She made our wedding pictures a dream come true! Amanda is super easy to work with and has so much passion for this profession! My husband doesn’t love the camera, but she helped him feel comfortable! She makes sure to capture the little details and the most special moments in every way you’d hope! I highly recommend Amanda and HeartsFoto for anyone looking for a personal photographer whose willing to go beyond what you ask of her to capture the perfect pictures!

    Amanda is Amazing!

    My husband and I planned a small family wedding in the country and Amanda was a no-brainer after looking through her galleries. In fact, she had been dreaming of shooting at the little church we selected for our special day; what a beautiful coincidence. She made time for me to discuss our day and ideas for what we wanted. We met at the venue beforehand, so when May 28th finally arrived, we were more than comfortable together. I cannot recommend Heartsfoto enough because not only will your experience be magical, your photos will blow your mind!

    Heartsfoto was awesome to work with!!

    We had a great experience with Amanda. She took both our engagement pictures and our wedding photos. They all turned out Awesome! We really appreciated her low travel fee, super quick photos previews, and her laid back personality; she made photos so easy!

    Heartsfoto was amazing to work with!

    We had Amanda take both our engagement and wedding photos. She was amazing to work with and quickly gave us a preview of our photos. She was very easy going and took the awkwardness out of getting out photos taken. I highly recommend Amanda for anyone who is getting married!

    The absolute best

    We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer! Amanda quickly felt like a friend and made this process so easy. We (mostly I) wanted to do our engagement photos on an Alpaca farm and Amanda was all about it and made my vision come true. She truly went above and beyond!! She is without a doubt our photographer for the rest of our big life events. Highly recommend!!

    Love love love heartsfoto!

    Amanda took our engagement photos as well as our wedding day photos.
    I feel so lucky to have found her!! She takes incredible photos, is organized, and was the most perfect photographer my husband and I could ever ask for!!
    Both my husband and I are a little awkward with pictures, and I'm always very self-conscious in photoshoots. Amanda made us feel comfortable and relaxed in the photoshoot, and we honestly just had a really great time taking photos (which has never happened to either of us before!!)!
    On the wedding day, everyone loved Amanda. She would make even the most "serious" people in our wedding laugh and smile in the photos. Regarding the photos, they were incredible, captured every moment, and we absolutely love how we look in them!
    I very highly recommend Heartsfoto!!

    Couldn’t be happier!

    Amanda and her team were THE BEST! We all had so much fun and she made everyone so comfortable. Her pictures were all completely stunning. From the first moment I met her, she was amazing. I’m a bit of a dork, and she captures our personalities so well in her photos. She made me feel and look so beautiful! I cannot thank you enough.
    Everyone told me the most important part of the wedding is the photos. I never realized how true that was until I saw how amazing our turned out. Now we will have all those memories forever!

    Phenomenal Photos

    This review is for Amanda at Heartsfoto photography. With 2020 being so crazy, my now husband and I decided to have an ultra small wedding ceremony at our local park. One of the few wedding experiences that we didn’t want to miss out on, was wedding pictures. I contacted a handful of photographers and Amanda was one of the most prompt, professional and sweetest of the bunch. After meeting with her and getting a steal of a quote, we decided to choose her to capture our special day. I can honestly say that she made our little elopement SO special. She was upbeat, professional and made us feel like models. When we got our pictures back, we were blown away at the quality. We were “posed” elegantly and naturally, the lighting was phenomenal, and it took me back to that most precious moment of my life. I am SO happy that I chose Amanda for my wedding day, and will continue to loyally choose her for my future photography needs. Thanks a million Heartsfoto!!

    Fantastic Photographer

    One of the first vendors we hired was HeartsFoto and it was a great decision. She was able to work with us and stay within our budget. She was very flexible and easy to work with when we had to move our wedding last minute. Not to mention the quality of the photos were amazing. We got them back a few weeks after our wedding and couldn't be more pleased.

    HeartsFoto is THE greatest around

    Heartsfoto was awesome from day one! The Nellesons are such nice people, easy to contact and quick to reply. Amanda asked all the right questions, helped set up a timeline and made sure we had a list of photos we wanted, even changed the itinerary last minute for us. They did exactly as I had requested of them and then went above and beyond my expectations. They were so fun to have around on our special day and made everything so easy! 10/10 highly recommend!!

    Amazing Wedding Photos!

    Amanda has an amazing eye for what makes a picturesque and memorable photo in any situation. Anyone can shoot a picture and edit in lightroom, but Amanda has a special talent for capturing the mood and feel of an event. She shot our wedding/engagement pictures and she really went the extra to make sure all the photos were perfect. She also has a really great photo package that provided a really unique and lasting memory of our wedding. We cannot thank her and recommend her enough.

    Best photographer!!

    Amanda was truly the best photographer we could have ever dreamed of having for our wedding! She had the same vision as we did for our wedding and even from our engagement photos which took place 10 months before our wedding we knew she would be the perfect photographer. She did so well with working with our family and the craziness of the wedding day. She is professional, prompt, and SO KIND. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My father-in-law who is our pastor and the minister for the wedding, he has been a pastor for 30 years and has done hundreds of weddings, he said Amanda was the best, most professional photographer he has ever worked with at any wedding he has done in the past. I will recommend Amanda to any couple I know getting married in the future.
    Thank you Amanda for capturing every beautiful moment from our wedding!!! We will definitely be wanting to work with you again someday when we do family portraits in the future :)

    OMG Chandler!!! I love you! Thank you for all the kind words it was truly a pleasure to be there on your big day! I can't wait to be there for all your special occasions in the future! xoxo

    Beautifully Unforgettable

    When it comes to Amanda, I can't find enough good words to describe her or our experience. We were blessed to find Amanda through some close friends of ours. She did our engagement shoot, my boudoir shoot as a wedding gift to my husband, and our entire wedding day. I have never liked pictures of myself, especially when taken by other people, but I seriously couldn't be more in love with the pictures we have gotten back from Amanda. She is AMAZING to work with, so sweet, and makes you feel like you're just a couple of friends having fun, not doing a photoshoot. For all the work she put in between all three shoots, the price was unbeatable, and the results were stunning! We received our wedding pictures about a month after our wedding; I was amazed that she was able to get them to us so quickly! Photos are the one thing you will always have from your wedding day, and she did the best job of making sure our day is beautifully unforgettable.

    The best of the best

    OMG!! Where do I begin?? Amanda is the best as they come!! I wish I could give more than five stars, because her photography is absolutely amazing!! Not only is her photography spectacular, so is she! She is so much fun and make the moments she captures twice as special, both in the moment and in her photos. She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Both turned out spectacular!! Our wedding photos are so breathtaking and stunning. Words can’t even begin to describe how amazing they are. I recommend Amanda to anyone who wants to have the best photos ever!! If you want your special day captured, engagements, family or weddings, etc., HeartsFoto is the way to go!! Thank you Amanda!

    You are so amazing Sara!!! I loved meeting you and becoming friends! You are an amazing couple and I'm so thankful that I got to be there for your big day! xoxo

    The Best You Can Pick

    Talk about a perfect fit! Amanda was exactly the photographer we had hoped we’d get. Thanks to the time she put in getting to know us and our style preferences early on, she captured our wedding in a way we could not have imagined possible. Her fun and relaxed approach made the whole experience feel effortless for us and her creativity and eye for beautiful settings left us with stunning photos from our big day. If you are looking for a photographer that listens to you, is super easy to work with, is very responsive, and brings a ton to the table, we could not recommend HeartsFoto more strongly.

    Amanda is amazing, creative, patient, kind and unique! She was like an instant best friend and took more photos than I could have asked for.

    HeartsFoto is truly amazing!!

    Amanda, of HeartsFoto, is a gem! From the first time I met her, to the wedding, and to months afterward, she has been welcoming, accessible, receptive, knowledgeable, talented, helpful, and just plain wonderful to work with. She is the real deal and I highly recommend her!
    It was evident that Amanda and Ally (who is equally wonderful) had done their research with regards to our venue. On the day of the wedding they arrived and because of their preparedness, they we able to assist us in keeping the day on schedule. They did this in an effortless, subtle manner that was appreciated by all. In addition, both photographers were so kind and attentive to the guests and anyone that had the good fortune of getting to know them had nothing but positive comments.
    To top it all off, every photo is a favorite! The only thing better than a bride liking every wedding photo is the connection that was made with these wonderful human beings!

    Janet you have been so amazing to work with and get to know! Thank you so much for all the kind words!!! XOXO

    Photographer

    I can't say enough good things about Amanda at Heartsfoto! From our very first meeting she was so sweet and professional. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the whole wedding planning process and was always available to answer questions. The day of the wedding she even checked in to see if we needed her to grab anything last minute on the way to the venue. The day of the wedding she and her assistant made everyone feel so comfortable and kept everything running smoothly- we were even a little ahead of schedule! We had beautiful previews within a few days, and our entire gallery in 6 weeks. We are in love with our pictures and everyone has commented on how nice our photos turned out! I would highly recommend Amanda for wedding photos and we look forward to her capturing future milestones for us in the future!

    A picture is worth a thousand words - and it would take thousands and thousands of words to adequately describe working with Amanda and truly do justice for the quality of her pictures, involvement, and attitude. I could go on and on about how her pictures are FANTASTIC and GORGEOUS, from the lighting to the shots to the editing, but what I think is really important is how she carries herself and her interactions with us. For those that don't know, at your wedding you will probably spend more time with your photographer than anyone else (except maybe your spouse). What kind of person do you want taking your pictures? She is professional, kind, interactive, easy to talk to, and remarkably helpful. If you want a photographer that takes world class photos and feels like a true friend on your big day, there is NO other choice than Amanda and HeartsFoto!
    Thank you so much!

    HeartsFoto's reply:

    Worth every penny and then some. Amanda is absolutely fantastic!

    Being that our wedding was going to have a “Back to the Future III” western style theme, we were very particular about the vendors we wanted to work with. We wanted to find people whom had a geeky fun side, but could also capture the look we were hoping for (especially with regards to photography and video.)
    All that being said, from the very first phone call, we knew Amanda at HeartsFoto was going to be the photographer for our special day! The owner and lead photographer, Amanda, was very professional, but more importantly she was easy-going, fun and genuinely excited about the wedding theme! Needless to say, she not made the entire process extremely straight forward and had us prepared for the event months before. Working with her was like working with a best friend. While we were originally leaning away from the engagement session she offered, we liked her so much we changed our minds. (And we’re glad we did!) Amanda took some amazing shots, as did her partner during the ceremony and reception. They both not only captured the essence of our theme, but were able to incorporate the venue’s horses and gorgeous ranch environment into our shots as well.
    As for the technical aspects, Amanda kept things moving along and never got in the way of the festivities. Her patience and ability to work with the little ones to get them to look at the camera and smile was also second to none. The final results (attached to this review) were absolutely stunning and speak for themselves.
    There is no question we would use Amanda again for our future photography needs, and we will not hesitate to recommend them to all of our friends and family. Amanda is one of those rare people that provide amazing customer service, a friendly experience, and an amazing product at a more than reasonable price. If you are in need of a photographer for any occasion, make sure HeartsFoto is at the top of your list! Worth every penny, and then some!
