LOVE STORY COLLECTIONS
“It's not just the big milestones, but the everyday moments too.."
I'm Amanda! I deeply believe every couple has a love story worth preserving. My own marriage has shown me how valuable it is to capture love exactly as it feels right now.
My style is relaxed, genuine, and focused on connection so that decades from now, your children and grandchildren can hold these images and see exactly how your love looked and felt.
"Thank you Amanda for this amazing shoot in honor of our love (and 5 year anniversary)!! She is your girl for couples sessions."

Couples Photography for Every Season
Couples photography is not just for engagements or weddings. It can be a way to pause and remember the season you are in right now. Whether you are celebrating your first year together or fifty years of love, your photos become a visual record of the life you have built side by side.
I specialize in creating an experience that feels relaxed and comfortable. There will be no stiff poses or forced smiles. Instead, you will be guided into moments that feel natural so that your connection shines through. The result is a gallery of images that will bring you back to how you felt in that moment every time you see them.
Exactly what you want it to be.
Intimate, Intentional,
All about the two of you.
When was the last time you two got dressed up and did something just for you?
Anniversaries, milestones, and even “just because” moments deserve to be celebrated as beautifully as your wedding day, maybe even more. Think about all you have come through together and all you still have ahead. Step away from the kids, the noise, and the everyday hustle, and reward yourselves with an evening you will always remember.
THE LOVE STORY COLLECTION
Couples photography is not just for engagements. Whether you are celebrating your first year or fifty years of love, I create a relaxed, natural experience that lets your connection shine through.

Unique experience ...
Elopements hold a special place in my heart. Not only did Craig and I choose to elope, but my daughter and her husband did too. Even my boys have already said that when it’s their turn, they want something deeply intimate. In our family, we value love, connection, and adventure over anything else.
Before becoming a professional photographer, I spent years owning a wedding planning business. I have seen firsthand how stressful a large wedding can be and how beautifully freeing an intimate celebration is. That experience, combined with my expertise in lighting, location scouting, and capturing genuine emotion, means I can guide you through your day with ease.
ELOPEMENT STORIES
Unscripted moments to be cherished...
Whether you are saying your vows on a quiet beach along the North Carolina coast, in the Colorado mountains with sweeping views, or in a tucked-away spot that feels entirely your own, I will be there to document every meaningful moment. We will create a timeline that leaves space for both stunning portraits and the unscripted magic of the day, so your elopement is as unforgettable in your photos as it was in your hearts.
Why more than 1 Hour Matters
It’s tempting to think, “We’re keeping things simple, so we only need a quick hour for photos.”
But here’s the truth: an elopement is still your wedding day. It deserves more than just a handful of ceremony shots.
The magic of an elopement isn’t just in the vows. It’s in the quiet, in-between moments you’ll want to remember forever. The way your dress moves when you walk through that mountain meadow. The laughter during your first toast as a married couple. The tear you didn’t even know fell when your partner whispered something just for you.
When we have more than an hour together, we can create editorial-worthy portraits that deserve to be printed and framed for decades to come, images that capture not only how you look, but how it felt to be there. We can document the full atmosphere: the setting, the details you chose, the candids that will one day make your children and grandchildren say, “Wow, you two were really in love.”
A longer session gives you space to breathe, relax, and actually enjoy the day without rushing from one thing to the next.
Your elopement is a story and every great story deserves more than just the ending.
