"From the first time we spoke, she immediately understood my vision and worked tirelessly to ensure it came to life. She was a calming and reassuring presence the day of. Our pictures turned out beautifully and we will cherish them forever."

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Meet your Photographer

Hi! I'm Amanda

ALL ABOUT Amanda

I'm Amanda Horne, a Montgomery, Alabama wedding photographer who's been documenting couples across Central Alabama for more than 15 years.

I was born and raised in East Alabama and married my high school sweetheart (aww!). My husband purchased my first DSLR for my birthday the year we got married. It was a huge gift for newlywed college students, but it changed my life.

I photographed my first wedding in 2011 and quickly fell in love with creating a wedding day experience that allows my couples to actually enjoy themselves. I stay flexible, read the room, and watch for natural moments to unfold. Wedding days can be stressful. I stay calm so you can too.

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 documenting the real emotions of your Montgomery wedding, so that years from now you’ll be able to relive not just how it looked, but how it felt.




...with JOY!

"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!

"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 not recommend Amanda enough!"

She took graduation pictures of my son at Auburn. Amanda went above and beyond and got the most stunning pictures! She thought of places throughout campus that I had not thought about. I’m so thankful for the time she took with him and for her experience! The pictures were incredible!
