Popping the Question, Framing the Moment
Your engagement is a celebration of love, and every moment deserves to be captured with passion and artistry. As a photographer who truly loves what I do, I focus on the little details—the stolen glances, the laughter, and the emotions that make your love story unique. Whether it’s a golden-hour session in a dreamy outdoor setting or a cozy, intimate shoot in a place that means the most to you, I’ll ensure your engagement photos are as beautiful as your connection.
With a mix of candid storytelling and expert composition, I create images that feel authentic and timeless. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just you and your partner, enjoying the moment while I capture the magic. These are the photos you’ll look back on for years to come, reliving the joy, excitement, and love that made your engagement so special.
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!
“Incredible wedding photographer!”
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.
“She always goes the extra mile for you and genuinely cares about the end result.”
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!
"If we did it all over again I would choose her a million times over."
