    Best photographer, ever!

    Choosing Amanda at Oh Lovely Wedding was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Her experience and expertise put us at ease from the moment we hired her until the wedding day itself. On our Wedding day, she arrived to the venue early, identified the best locations for portraits and helped direct/guide our family members and bridal party for our group photos. She was directive with our portraits (which we were really grateful for!) and helped us feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. She captured every important moment and event immaculately. Amanda has this unique talent of being able to capture the emotion in each moment, which has made these wedding photos our greatest treasure in the world. We couldn't be happier with the experience we had working with her, or the photos we received. Truly couldn't ask for more from a wedding photographer. 10/10 would recommend.

    Amanda is the absolute BEST artist ever!!!

    Amanda is the absolute BEST artist ever!!! She is extremely talented and has fantastic energy, positivity, and a calming presence, which is great for brides! Amanda understood my out-of-the-box wedding theme and nailed it. Thank you so much for working with us; we love all of our photos and couldn't have imagined our spooky day without you!

    Book Amanda!!!

    I will never have the words to fully describe how amazing our experience was working with Amanda. She is so great at making you feel comfortable while also giving awesome direction and pose advice. Every single one of our engagement and wedding photos are magazine worthy. While I was going through them with my mom and had shown her the first 50 or so she said “are these just your favorites? They are so good” and I had to explain that I hadn’t even chosen favorites yet, they all were just so good. She was professional, on time, easy to communicate with, and a very skillful photographer. We are forever grateful for her talent. She made our wedding day a dream and the photos really captured that!

    Simply the Best Photographer

    My goodness, I truly don't know where to begin with how incredible it was to work with Amanda. We worked with her for both our engagement shoot and wedding to say we were thrilled with the results would be the understatement of the century. Amanda is thoughtful, creative and finds the BEST atmosphere for your photos. Her courteousness is one of my favorite things as well; no matter the pressure, she will always make sure you feel comfortable. I cannot recommend working with Oh Lovely Wedding enough.

    An amazing La Jolla engagement shoot

    Echoing other rave reviews, Amanda was absolutely amazing! We found her through Instagram and loved her style from the get-go. We looked at a variety of beach/coastal portfolios and it was difficult to find naturally lit, sunset beach shots from other photographers. She was very communicative and patient with our out-of-town planning. We wanted a La Jolla engagement shoot and Amanda took our site suggestions and tailored a perfect session for us. She made two awkward dorks super comfortable and look amazingly photogenic. We both look so natural, even in the posed shots, not to mention we thoroughly enjoyed our whole session. We are beyond thrilled with both the raw and final edited shots. We loved that she captured us in different settings at a wide variety of scales. She even got soaked standing in the ocean to get a series of amazing wide shots of us and a cliffside! Amanda is professional, easy to work with, and we HIGHLY recommend her.

    The Absolute Best

    This review is long overdue but I can say enough good things about Amanda. She not only was our wedding photographer but also took our engagement photos. We thought the engagement photos were stunning but were blown away by the wedding photos. She captured our special day perfectly and so thankful I got to know her during the engagement shoot because her shooting us on our wedding day was seamless. Not only is she super talented but she's also very thoughtful. She constantly asked me if I was okay since I was standing most of the day and I felt so taken care of. She truly is the absolute best and would absolutely recommend her to shoot your special day.

    Our dream wedding photographer

    The minute we saw Amanda’s body of work, we knew we had to hire her to photograph our wedding! We planned our wedding from overseas and it was a pleasure to work with Amanda during the entire planning process. Communication with her was always prompt and clear.

    On the actual wedding day, she was cool and calm. Amanda and her assistant navigated the wedding day so effectively. She was exactly where she needed to be directing us through the shots. She never rushed us or made us feel as though we were having a formal shoot. The whole process was incredibly organic and fluid. Our wedding party had a fantastic time.

    The best part is when she sent us out photos. OH MY GOD. Every single frame was STUNNING!

    Her unique perspective during shooting and the mood of her edits are beautiful to the point of heartbreak. I can't stop looking at my wedding photos!

    Hiring her for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made!

    Thank you Amanda, your work is PHENOMENAL!

    You Won't Regret It!

    Amanda was absolutely amazing. I'm so glad we found her to photograph our wedding! She arrived to our venue early to scout out photo locations, and she took time to get extra detail and groom shots when I needed more time to get ready. I'm such an awkward person in front of a camera, but Amanda made me feel at ease and the end results are stunning. I can't pick a favorite or even a top 30; they're ALL so beautiful. My biggest wedding fear was picking the wrong photographer. If you relate, pick Amanda from Oh Lovely Wedding. You won't regret it!

    A love story in photos!

    Simply put, Amanda and her assistant were amazingly talented. Amanda has an eye for telling love stories through the use of her beautiful photos. Amanda was so great at managing our large group, getting all our requested photos done, and sneaking us away for some sunset photos in the vineyard that we really wanted to make happen. We are so happy with the results and owe it all to Amanda and Oh Lovely Wedding! Thank you so much. We strongly recommended Oh Lovely Wedding without hesitation!

    We loved every second of working with Amanda, from the engagement photos to the wedding itself. We've even hired Amanda for various other photoshoots because she's a joy to work with and she consistently produces brilliant results.

    Professional, Passionate & Crazy Talented = Amanda

    After the engagement bliss the reality of planning a wedding kicked in fast, and to be quite honest the vendor research process was a bit overwhelming. However, our decision to go with Amanda as our wedding photographer was probably the easiest to make, and also one of our best investments ;) Here are a couple of reasons why we absolutely love her:
    1.) Her communication from the very beginning was timely and professional. After our initial conversation on the phone there was an undeniable assurance & feeling we wanted to work with her!
    2.) During our engagement shoot my husband and I were definitely timid at first, but Amanda made us both so comfortable by directing us every step of the way! She's a master of finding the most perfect locations and being that boost of confidence you need to rock any photoshoot!
    3.) On our wedding day she was so focused and incredibly professional. She utilized every hour so efficiently, capturing every moment and detail of our special day.
    4.) As busy as she is, her turnaround for pictures is quite amazing. She posted 3 sneak peak pictures 2 days after our wedding on Instagram and delivered all the photos in less than 2 weeks! We received the photos we chose to retouch on our 1 month wedding anniversary, and I must it was the best feeling to relive our special day through all the amazing photos!
    5.) Her dedication to her clients is gold standard, if you haven't booked a photographer yet you need to contact Amanda ASAP!!! ;)

    Amazing photographer!!!

    Having a good photographer was a top priority for us, so choosing Amanda as our photographer was one of the first decisions we made! She was our #1 choice after seeing her amazing work, and we're so thrilled she was able to photograph our wedding and engagement shoot. She's very professional, communicative, and easy to work with. Getting photos taken can feel a bit awkward at first, but Amanda made us feel so comfortable and was great at telling us just what to do/how to pose, we felt at ease right away! She and her assistant did a wonderful job during our wedding, they knew all the best places to get photos around the venue, and captured all the details and moments of the day. Not only are the photos absolutely beautiful, but she gets them back to you so FAST! I was amazed by how quick the turnaround was, from delivering sneak peaks, to the full set and final edited photos. The final images are so gorgeous and perfectly capture the feelings and aesthetics of our day. We chose to buy a portrait book from her as well, and it was definitely worth it. The book itself is super high quality, and it's a lovely way to showcase some of our favorite wedding photos. I seriously can't say enough good things about Amanda, and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an amazingly talented, professional photographer!!

    Amanda was amazing

    I got in touch with Amanda through a friend that hired her for a wedding. Honestly, I don't know what to say, she made my husband and I feel totally comfortable and we're horrible at taking pictures. She really listened to what kind of look I was going for and MAN, did she pull it off! When I got the photos back and started the process of selecting which ones I wanted her to edit, I had the hardest time choosing. I'm not kidding, all of the photos are great! I don't even really think they need to be edited. Amanda you are so talented and I'm so grateful that I got to work with someone like you. Thank you for making our day so memorable!

    Professional, comfortable, and insanely talented!

    Amanda is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She has a way of making you feel totally comfortable while still remaining very professional. We knew we made the right choice when we saw our engagement pictures, but we were absolutely BLOWN AWAY by our wedding pictures! We have gotten so many compliments just on the raw footage she sent us just days after our wedding! I can't wait to see the edited versions of the photos we chose! We got married in the mountains in January so we had a bit of rain and it was FREEZING, but it didn't even phase Amanda and her partner. She was so organized and efficient in taking all of our photos (and we had almost 1500!) that we got to go back to our wedding reception earlier than we had planned! I would DEFINITELY recommend her! So thankful for the amazing quality of her work that we can look back on for years to come.

    Beautiful, fun, professional

    It all started with our engagement shoot. Amanda made us feel so comfortable! We completely fell in love with our pictures. A wedding day can be so stressful, but Amanda just handled everything! She made sure we had the special shots we wanted and took her time to make sure we were happy. Also, no one could believe how quickly we got our pictures back! They are stunning and we can't wait to see the retouched photos we choose! Thank you so much Amanda for capturing our favorite day and our best New Years Eve ever!

    Cannot thank you enough!

    There are not enough words to thank Amanda with Oh Lovely Wedding. She is one of the most professional and kind people we have ever worked with.

    She was easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured our day beautifully and we are thankful to have these photos to look back on. I cannot recommend Oh Lovely Wedding enough. Do not hesitate to hire Amanda. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our special day!

    Amanda did such an amazing job not just with our engagement photos, but she captured the most important day of our lives, our wedding, perfectly. We could not have asked for more! Our wedding photos will last our lifetime and so we said from the beginning choosing the right photographer was one of the most important wedding decisions we made. Amanda did not disappoint! Every step of the way she went above and beyond what we expected. She is a true artist and has a great eye for different shots/poses and made us feel so comfortable right from the beginning. She was easy to get into contact with and always an e-mail or phone call away to answer every question we had. We hope to use her in the future for other photography sessions.

    Nothing but great things to say about Amanda! We were referred to her through our wedding venue and we are so thrilled!! Let me start by saying our first meeting with her which was for our engagement photos was not going as planned being that not only did my fiancé realize he forgot his pants for the photo shoot 20 minutes before we were supposed to meet her at a park but we also got lost! Needless to say we were almost 45 minutes late! Mind you this is in November and it gets dark at 5 pm and we finally arrived at like 4:15! So we only had 40 minutes to get our engagement photos done! I was so frustrated arriving to the park and Amanda was so great and professional not to mention patient!!! Considering meeting a stranger for the first time we were immediately comfortable right from the start as if I have already known her which was so refreshing! But this girl knew what she was doing! Our photos came out so great!!!! Everything was happening so fast cause we were trying to get as many photos before dark so I was a little concerned because we had to rush! But looking at the photos you would have never noticed that these pictures were done in only 40 minutes I mean they are gorgeous!! Everything from the scenery to the poses she had us do and the editing everything was perfect! And a huge thing we were impressed with was the fact that we got our photos back so quickly!! This girl rocks!! Prices are very reasonable as well!!

    We found Amanda through her blog after googling our venue when we first booked it (Sacred Mountain in Julian, CA). I am so so glad that she had photographed the venue before and we were able to find her this way because Sacred Mountain is such a unique place and Amanda knows it inside and out. She is familiar with all the different areas, quirks, and gems and she is quite simply amazing. My husband and I are awkward picture takers, but her and her team know how to put you at ease and both capture and create some really great moments. There were countless things we didn't even consider that she suggested trying and that we ended up loving (at engagement shoot and at wedding). She is the pinnacle of professionalism and creativity and we absolutely LOVE the colors, settings, and overall look of all our pictures. Amanda is a great photographer who knows how to move around any space and bring magic to it and the pictures. We couldn't recommend her more (especially if you're getting married at Sacred Mountain)!!

    By far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Amanda is extremely professional but also has a way of making you feel extremely comfortable throughout your entire day. The moments she was able to capture are unlike any photos we had seen while researching photographers. We have received endless compliments, tears, and gasps when sharing our photos with family and friends. We had quite a large wedding party (20 in all) as well as large amounts of family members- Amanda and her partner seamlessly organized and coordinated taking shots with all involved in a minimal amount of time.

    We were so thankful to receive 3 sneak peak photos less than 24 hours after the wedding- they were stunning. We received all 2000 of our photos within 2 weeks. We still need to pick our favorites for her to do the final edits, but so many of them look great as is! Our wedding day was a blur of excitement but Amanda's photos were able to bring us back to some of the most intimate and loving moments of our day.

    The Best Wedding Photographer!

    For our wedding photographer, we were looking for somebody who was fun to work with, organized enough to keep everything on track, and took amazing pictures. Check, check, and check. Amanda is fantastic. She had so many fun ideas and poses for us and it was a blast taking all of our pictures with her both getting ready and after the ceremony. She was so good at quickly working through the shot list allowing our guests to get back to the party. And most importantly, her pictures are OUTSTANDING! While the base package comes with a set of retouched pictures, we felt like we could have printed them all un-retouched and they would have already been perfect! We're so happy that she was there to capture our special day.

    Amanda has been so amazing from the very beginning. I'm an analyst by trade and took the decision of choosing a wedding photographer very seriously...as in Excel-spreadsheet seriously! Amanda had the experience and style I was hoping for and after meeting with her I knew she'd be perfect. We just received our engagement photos back and I'm in love! She made us look like models and took San Diego sunsets to a whole new level. She's talented and has great eye for backgrounds. Her prices were right on with our budget and she has been worth every penny. Looking forward to her working her magic on our Wedding Day!!
