Joy-filled, Artful, Romantic.
Capturing the moments you hoped someone was watching.

Years from now when you pick up your wedding album off the shelf, I want you to be able to recall the sounds…the people…the food you ate…the speeches you cried to…the music you danced to…and ultimately, the feeling. All of this is meant to be remembered and cherished, and I want to help you do just that.

I’m a Rochester-based documentary wedding photographer who believes your photos should feel like memories — not poses.

My couples often tell me they felt at ease in front of my camera. That they were able to be fully present. That the photos feel like reliving the moment all over again.

That’s always the goal.

I’m there to guide when you need it, step back when you don’t, and capture every detail with intention — so your story is preserved beautifully for the generations who will one day look back on your story.

My recent work

love notes

Choosing Amanda as our photographer for the engagement, and for the wedding, was an immediate decision in the planning process. Amanda is very easy to work with, and made us so comfortable (we are not picture people), plus her work is absolutely incredible. The comfortable and lighthearted air of her style was exactly what we wanted, but she exceeded all expectations. We are so so grateful, and my husband and I are in awe at every moment captured.

love notes

During photo sessions with her I feel at ease. She makes the space so comfortable, and makes you feel like you can be yourself.

When I look back at my engagement, wedding and fall photoshoot, I feel like I am reliving the moments over & over again. I believe that’s how looking back at happy moments should make you feel, and that’s exactly what Amanda captures.

On top of that, she literally is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet.

love notes

Amanda’s exceptional talent was one of the greatest reasons we enjoyed our wedding day so much. She was intentional with every detail we requested and contributed her own thoughtful, creative ideas that elevated the entire experience. Every moment was captured beautifully, and we are truly grateful we chose her. Her photos tells a story and I’m so glad she was able to capture our wedding story

love notes

There isn’t anyone else i’d recommend more than Amanda to take photos for any special occasion! She is so wonderfully talented with her camera, capturing so many precious candid moments. She is also the sweetest while remaining professional throughout the entire process. Helping with creative choices, wardrobe, and anything you may need. Amanda shot my engagement shots, my wedding, and my first family photos with my dog child, and my husband and I have loved every single photo! I’m not kidding !!
