LASTING MEMORIES OF YOUR LOVE STORY TOGETHER

YOUR STORY beautifully told THROUGH TIMELESS IMAGERY


I love capturing raw, genuine emotions, the kind you can feel deep in your heart every time you look back at them. Photographs that don’t just show a moment, but let you relive it. The laughter that lights up a room, the joy that can’t be contained, the kind of love that shines through someone’s eyes. My goal is to create images that go beyond being “pretty pictures,” and instead become timeless memories that bring you back to that exact feeling, the love, the joy, and the happiness you shared.

Amanda

Hi, I’m


For five years I have specialized in wedding and couples photography centered on natural moments and honest emotion. Becoming a mom has deepened my appreciation for love and family, and that perspective shapes the way I photograph every celebration. I look for the quiet in between glances, the big laughter, and the details that will matter to you ten years from now. My approach is calm and organized so you can relax, be present, and trust that I am guiding the experience with a clear plan and a gentle touch.

From my home base in Orange County I serve couples across Southern California and beyond. I scout for flattering light, collaborate with your planner, and build a photo friendly flow that fits the rhythm of your day. During portraits I offer simple direction so you never feel stiff. During the moments that matter I step back and let the story unfold. The result is a collection of images that feels timeless and uniquely you.

experience

Your wedding experience with me is calm, organized, and genuinely fun from our very first hello to the moment you hold your finished album. We start with a discovery call to hear your story and craft a custom plan just for you. From there, I guide you through every step with timelines, helpful tips, and vendor coordination.

An engagement session helps you feel comfortable on camera, and I design a photo-friendly timeline that prioritizes great light, natural flow, and family moments. On your wedding day, I direct when needed and step back to capture real, unscripted moments all while keeping the day on time with kindness and clarity.

You’ll receive next-day highlights within 48 hours and your full, downloadable online gallery in six to eight weeks.

ELOPEMENT
weddings

Your elopement is about doing things your way and I’m here to make sure it feels beautiful, intentional, and true to you. Whether it’s just the two of you on a mountaintop or an intimate gathering with your closest people, I’m in it with you every step of the way. From helping you plan your timeline and choose locations to guiding you through travel and light, I’ll make sure everything flows naturally so you can stay present in every moment.

I’ll gently direct when needed, step back when it matters most, and capture the in-between moments that tell your story exactly as it unfolds. My goal isn’t to stage perfection, it’s to preserve the real emotion, the quiet glances, the wind in your hair, and the laughter that makes the day yours.

You’ll receive next-day sneak peeks within 48 hours, and your full gallery in six to eight weeks filled with moments that make you laugh, tear up, and feel it all over again. However your day unfolds, my goal is simple: Tell your story the way it deserves to be remembered full of emotion, love and completely you.

From milestone birthdays to engagement parties, holiday celebrations, and even corporate gatherings, I’m there to capture the moments that make your event feel like yours. In just a few hours, I focus on the laughter, the hugs, the toasts, and the little details that tell the story of your day the parts you’ll want to remember forever.

I love being the photographer who blends in but still notices everything: the quiet glance between friends, the energy on the dance floor, and those perfectly imperfect moments that make your event unique. I guide just enough for beautiful portraits, then step back to let the magic happen naturally.

The result? Images that make you relive every laugh, every glance, every perfect little detail. Whatever your celebration looks like, I’ll be there to capture it.
