Weddings & Elopements
We have experience photographing everything from intimate elopements to large weddings with over 400 guests. With nearly 20 years of experience and more than 300 couples, we know how to tactfully capture all your important moments and guide you through the day with ease. We're dedicated to delivering a breathtaking gallery you love from the moment you see it.
Engagements & Proposals
Proposals are a once-in-a-lifetime moment. From finding the perfect location, to guiding you through each step of the process, to delivering a gallery that preserves your genuine love and excitement, we will carefully attend to every detail. Your end result is timeless photos of an experience above and beyond what you dreamed.
Boudoir & Bridal
Bridal boudoir is a service that we love to offer our brides. It captures a very unique and special time in your life that you can reflect back on and think, "DAMN, I looked amazing." It can be for your partner, for an anniversary gift, or just for you to enjoy. We'll drink some champagne, put on your favorite music, and have a blast.

Our Signature Style
As a hybrid photographer, my style is unique in that I create my art using both film and digital photography. Film is timeless, capturing raw emotions and organic colors. Digital captures every second and movement. Used together, you get the best of both worlds.
Walking through the doors of The Cottage, I knew it was the perfect space to be inspired and an even better place to meet all my incredible couples. Let's get together to celebrate, whether you two are just getting engaged, looking through your wedding album, or planning elopement details over champagne!
Our Cozy Cottage
what makes us different
Suite Q is my photography studio that provides a private experience for my couples. The studio is located in the heart of downtown Monterey on Cannery Row in a historic, 100-year-old building. I photograph everything from boudoirs to portraits; the studio provides a space for endless creativity. The space is also used for local photographer meet-ups and photography group education.
The Studio
what makes us different
With each click of our cameras, we think intentionally about how you will be able to relive it all. We handcraft tangible products for you to hold, feel, and share your story. We don't just print or produce albums, we curate layouts so you can differentiate what to hang on your walls and what goes in an album. Together we'll help preserve your legacy so you can share it with loved ones in a timeless way.
Our Custom Heirloom Albums
what makes us different
Amanda was creative, professional and accommodating our unique day as a big blended family. I never had to deal with any family picture drama on the day of the event because we covered EVERYTHING ahead of time. Amanda also taught me how to pose and captured everything we asked and more! Highly recommend!
Her talent is boundless; she’s able to find the perfect moments, angles and shots that wow’ed absolutely everyone who has seen our photos. Her charm, graciousness, and experience made us feel incredibly comfortable during all photo sessions, despite the fact that neither of us had spent much time in front of a camera.
Her photos capture this beautiful natural light and make everything classic, lovely, and the style is so perfect for California, especially Monterey. I felt so comfortable around her. She did our engagement, Indian pre-wedding celebration (Sangeet), my boudoir photos, and our wedding, and she was by far our favorite person to work with!
