Authentic Moments, Stunning Memories


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!
