Hacienda Carmel Photographer for Genuine and Effortless Photography
The best memories in life have to be preserved for eternity. Whatever your happiness is – whether it’s a thrill of an engagement, a blissful marriage ceremony, or a beauty of a routine life – a photograph holds your emotion in a real and ageless form. What distinguishes AGS Photo Art is our skill in creating organic, spontaneous, and artistic photos that capture your life in its genuineness.
We believe that photographs work best when taken out of real, not artificial, smiles and not awkward postures. That’s why our style is one of genuine ease and authenticity. From intimate couples' sessions to high-energy family photographs, we work with you at every stage, putting you at ease and in confidence. No two stories ever being the same, your photographs have to represent what makes your one stand out.
With years of practice and a narrative heart, we observe the little details that make a big difference—the soft glances, the laughter outbursts, little but meaningful moments that make an encounter memorable. With every session, your personality shines through, and photographs with an effortless, yet lasting, beauty about them are taken.
Where Candid Meets Art—Photography That Tells Your Story
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.

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!

Bringing Your Story to Life – Hacienda Carmel Photographer
Genuine Connections, Timeless Photographs
A great photograph isn’t necessarily about idealistic lighting or a perfectly captured shot—but about portraying feelings that make one recall being in that same position at that same moment in time. What AGS Photo Art doesn’t merely photograph, but brings about, are experiences that become breathtaking memories in photographs. It’s not about a quiet anticipation at a ceremony but about bringing each and every one of them to life and full of life.
Our goal is for you to forget about having your picture taken at all. Forget about posing awkwardly and recall laughter and spontaneous, real-life encounters that expose your actual personality. All sessions are individually designed, whether your style is for a traditional, elegant one, a spontaneous, whimsical one, or somewhere in between. What happens? Portraits that not only photograph beautifully but, most importantly, naturally and authentically.
We know how important it is to find a photographer you trust—someone who listens, understands your vision, and delivers results that exceed expectations. From scouting the perfect location to guiding you through relaxed, stress-free sessions, we take care of everything so you can focus on making memories.
