If you’re new around here, you might be looking around my website and thinking, “wait a minute! I only see photos of babies and families! Does Amanda photograph weddings, too?!” And the answer is, heck yes I do! My heart and soul are on fire for weddings. I’ll never forget a conversation I had with my […]

Jessica & Dayne | Mechanicsville, Maryland I cannot believe the 2018 wedding season has come to an end! Jess and Dayne were our last couple to tie the knot this year, and we couldn’t have asked for better humans to end the season with. With fall accents, gorgeous twinkle lights, crisp autumn air, and a […]

Okay seriously, how do I keep getting the most amazing humans to work with? I don’t think we stopped laughing the entire time we were with Lindsay and Chris. Leigh and I met these two in downtown Annapolis on a gorgeous fall day in October. There was finally a hint of crispness in the air, and […]

Oh, this session. I don’t think even Emily and Bobby know how special it was to me! By a twist of fate, we realized that we’d both be passing through Charleston on the same day (them headed south for a work trip, me headed north after a weekend in Florida). Naturally, we had to take […]

Well friends, I have some big news that I can finally share with the world! I am officially down to part time at work, giving me more time to spend with my family and build the studio. It’s surreal that we’re already to this point, honestly. But it just felt like the right time, and […]

It’s been three days since Rebecca and Anthony’s wedding, and I’m still getting teary eyed thinking about it! Every little thing about their day was just so raw, real, and refreshingly authentic. These two met in the unlikeliest of places: while working as marine observers on fishing boats in the Bering Sea! Their wedding was […]

One of my favorite parts of the wedding day is photographing all the little details! These are the special little touches that you’ve planned for months makes your event personal to you. I photograph most of the details in the first hour of coverage, often while the bridal party finishes hair and makeup. That part […]

Summer is coming to a close and we’ve got a week of rainy days ahead, so here’s some gorgeous golden sunshine! My assistant, Leigh, and I met Amanda and Patrick for their engagement session and it was so good for my soul. We met at Jefferson Patterson Park in southern Maryland, where they’ll be married […]

Today marks FIVE years since Adam and I were married! In some ways it feels like yesterday, in others it was a million lifetimes ago. Our two beautiful girls keep us busy, but we wouldn’t have it any other way! For those that didn’t know me back then, it probably won’t surprise you to learn […]

I see you, wedding guest. Maybe it’s your niece getting married, or the groom was your college roommate, or you’ve worked with the bride’s parents for twenty years and she’s basically another daughter to you. You look awesome. You’ve got a sitter for the kids and are looking forward to an evening out, celebrating this […]
