The heart of what I do
Through the lens of my camera, I notice the quiet moments that matter—
the squeeze of your hands before the ceremony,
the slow breath before you say your vows,
the laughter between photos when you forget I’m there.
This is more than documentation.
It’s memory-making.
And it’s an honor I never take lightly.
Hey there! I'm Amanda.
I’ll follow your love into the wild, again and again.
The ember that sparked it all
I didn’t always know I’d become an elopement photographer. But when I left my home in Utah, I carried with me an ember — quiet but insistent — that something more was waiting. I was ready for it to ignite.
That spark led me to Lake Tahoe and the surrounding wild beauty of Northern California, where my love for adventure and storytelling took root. What began as a passion for nature and connection turned into a calling: helping couples trade the noise for something real.
Now, as a Lake Tahoe elopement photographer, I help couples plan intentional, breathtaking wedding days that feel like a deep exhale — from the trailhead to the mountaintop, and every unscripted moment in between.

Amanda is really empathetic and caring. She picked up on cues to really understand us. By the end of the night, she had just turned into one of the family.
I'm in it with you
Gushing at how cool you two are together, quietly wiping happy tears away during your ceremony and swooning over your love story months later...
I bring my whole heart to your experience.
