Kind words from couples who chose this experience

I can not say enough great things about Amanda from booking her over a year ago to our post wedding shoot she was so kind and patient and professional but also so fun and put both my husband and I at ease especially during my mini meltdown on the day when I couldn’t find my shoes she was ready to give me hers 🤣

Amanda and her husband truly have the biggest hearts and calm demeanor and are so easily able to capture every moment looking at my pictures I have truly never felt more beautiful <3

Absolutely hands down my favorite photographer. Was recommended for a boudoir session, she made me feel so comfortable, I felt like I had known her for years! So genuine and down to earth I had to hire  her shortly after to shoot our elopement!she did an amazing job there too!

10/10 recommend I can’t wait to do a couples boudoir session next!
