WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

Meet your Photographer

Hi! I'm Amanda

ALL ABOUT Amanda

Homeschooling mother of three, wife, sister, friend, and wedding photographer.

I was born and raised in the Opelika, Alabama area, graduated from Beauregard High School, and married my high school sweetheart (aww!). My husband currently serves as the pastor at Concord Baptist Church in Salem, AL.

My husband purchased my first DSLR for my  birthday the year we got married. It was a huge gift for a newlywed college students, but it changed my life. I quickly fell in love with portrait photography, and  photographed my first wedding in 2011. It's hard to believe it's been almost 15 years since that first wedding day!

Your wedding day is about so much more than photos. It's about your love, your family, and your story. My goal is to make sure you feel relaxed, celebrated, and completely at ease. I’ll be there to keep things lighthearted, help you laugh through the nerves, and quietly support you if things start to feel overwhelming. More than just a photographer, I want to be the calm, joyful presence who helps you enjoy your day as it unfolds.

I believe the best photos come from genuine connection. That’s why I take the time to learn your story, meet your family, and notice the small, in-between moments that define the day. From teary glances during your vows to laughter on the dance floor, I’m focused on capturing the real emotions of your Birmingham wedding, so that years from now you’ll be able to relive not just how it looked, but how it felt.




...with JOY!

"I would choose her again every time!"

Amanda was a pleasure to work with from start to finish...Amanda went above and beyond for us! She was prompt in responding, checked in on us leading up to the wedding, helped us coordinate our wedding day photo timeline, and traipsed around downtown Birmingham with us on a hot June afternoon to shoot the most stunning wedding photos. The photos are amazing and her work absolutely speaks for itself. Her uplifting attitude made our wedding day less stressful and I would choose her again every time!

"I can’t wait to work together again!"

I worked along side Amanda for a wedding this past weekend as the event coordinator. She showed up early, stayed late, and had an edited sneak ready first thing in the morning for the bride! She has so many amazing ideas for photos and didn’t mind letting the content creator snap a quick shot before moving on. I had to drag her and her assistant down to take a break and eat, haha! We also love a queen who tags her fellow vendors! Thanks for everyone Amanda, I can’t wait to work together again!

"We had so much fun and will definitely use her again in the future."

The turn around time for our pictures to get back to us was surprisingly fast as well. I even had a previous photographer friend of mine ask me who did my pictures because they turned out so good. These are seriously some of my favorites pictures of our family. If you’re trying to decide if you should give Amanda a call, don’t hesitate any longer. She is so sweet and you will have a great experience!
