WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

Your wedding day is not the beginning of your story. It's the meeting place of all of the relationships, traditions, prayers, friendships, and family history that have made you who you are. 

On your wedding day, the moments that matter most are often the quiet ones that honor that history: your dad taking a deep breath before walking you down the aisle, your mom helping you into your dress, the laugh lines that crease your grandmother's face as she watches your first dance with your new husband.

My approach to wedding photography is calm and observant. I pay attention to the pace of the day and create space for you to slow down, be present, and fully experience the people around you while I document the moments as they unfold.

Joyful wedding photography centered on people, presence, and connection

It doesn't have to feel like a photoshoot

Inquire Now

When she arrived on the wedding day it felt like an old friend was coming over. At the end of the night, she sat with me on the dance floor as we recounted the beautiful day that just unfolded, 

she wasn’t in a hurry to leave or pressuring me with timelines,
it was truly such a smooth day

thanks to the part Amanda played in it.

Your Wedding Day Experience

How every wedding day with me begins.

01

Full Day Coverage

I'm there with you from getting ready to final send-off. Joyful tears don't always fit into an 8-hour timeline.

02

Engagement Session

I don't want to be a stranger on your wedding day. Your engagement session is where we learn how the two of you fit together on camera. When your wedding day is moving fast, we'll already be able to move in sync because you're working with someone who knows you.


03

Second Photographer

I won't photograph a wedding without one. Having a second photographer means we can document the in-between moments simultaneously. First looks from multiple angles. The speeches AND the reactions. It also means if something ever happened to me on your wedding day, you'd have someone who knows my work ready to step in. That standard isn't negotiable for me.

A few of my favorite wedding days

You'll open your wedding album and feel it all over again. The way his voice shook during his vows. The look on your dad's face walking you down the aisle. That first dance when the rest of the room disappeared.

These photos are the story you'll tell for the rest of your life. The moments your family will treasure for generations.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Grayson

"She paid attention to the smallest details and took photos of moments I didn’t even realize happened! I will remember this day forever because of the amazing photos she took and the way she captured our day. She stayed calm and in control the whole time. Not only was she our wedding photographer but she is now a part of our journey."

As someone who is still in the "honeymoon phase" with my high school sweetheart, I believe your wedding is more than just a day or a party. It's the beginning of a lifetime of commitment and love. It's the joining of families, the exchanging of vows, and the celebration of one of God's greatest gifts to us. I don't take my part in that lightly.

I photographed my first wedding in 2011, and nearly 15 years later, I still get emotional during every ceremony. I love being a witness to your story, and creating images that tell it in an authentic way. From our initial consultation to the wedding day, I commit to guiding you with confidence and serving you with care.

I am so excited to be part of your day and celebrate this moment with you.
