...Let US CAPTURE
THEM FOR YOU.
Hi Kate and Connor,
It’s such an honor to be considered for your wedding. Your love story deserves to be preserved with intention, artistry, and care — not just for the wedding day, but for generations to come.
Since we haven’t had the chance to speak in person yet, I’ve curated these collections with the heart of your celebration in mind. My approach is about more than taking beautiful photographs — it’s about understanding what matters most to you and translating it into timeless, romantic imagery you’ll cherish forever.
Here’s what I value most when telling a wedding story:

What couples are saying
"Amandarose was our wedding and engagement photographer and we were blown away by both by the outcome and the process of working with her. We were looking for a wedding photographer who could tell the story of our day, capturing both documentary style and more classic photos.
She excels at both.
We love how she incorporates digital and film while keeping the same feel between the two mediums..."
I would encourage anyone looking for a photographer to find someone you enjoy spending time with - between her trip to Texas for our engagement shoot to the whole wedding weekend, we spent a lot of time with Amandarose and thoroughly every minute of it.
Three months after the wedding, we still look through our pictures almost daily"

the things I love
Hi!
Thanks for being here! A little about me and my business:
I've been in business since 2010 and am originally from the East Coast. I've been living in Carmel for over nine years and LOVE IT! I often travel to photograph couples, and I couldn't ask for a better job.
As a fine art film photographer, I'd be honored to capture your couple's story, no matter how big or small. I believe my purpose is to capture special moments and document countless love stories. I do it for the feels, laughter, tears, first dances, vow exchanges, and intimate moments.

AmandaRose was everything we hoped for and more! when we decided to choose her as our wedding photographer, first thing she is very professional, very punctual and does what she says she will do, those qualities alone are hard to find these days and takes the stress out of working with a wedding photographer.
She listens to your ideas and vision and incorporates them into the photo. we were pleasantly surprised by the images we didn't even know she took!
We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing wedding photographer, You will not be sorry!!
thank you AmandaRose for giving us such beautiful photographs to look back on our special day

I'm never uninspired! I'm doing what I do, because it's my passion to capture moments of joy that will live on forever.
Passion job
I am film photographer. Like a real one! I've been photographing with film since 2005.
film
I'm originally from the east coast - you know where it can rain for weeks and snow for months! Photographing indoors, in barns, in barrel rooms, no sweat!
I teach lighting to new photographers!
Lighting expert
If you're seeing a doctor, you'd want someone who you can trust and has experience right? Well this goes for a photographer too!
Experience is a thing...

ags couples
the ags couple
get to know
these two have been together for a long time. they know each other inside and out and can not imagine their life with out their bestfriend.
sweethearts
love grows stronger for these two as time goes by. It amazes them how love just keeps growing and they have so much love for one another. It's as if they first started dating, but better.
head over heels
I believe in opposite attract. these two are exactly that. one is more realistic and grounded, while the other is a dreamer and shows their partner what it's like up in the clouds.
the perfect fit
both come from strong, loving, supportive families. marriage matters to them. they look up to their parents and want to have that kind of love 50 years from now. family comes first with them and they wouldn't have it any other way.
Family matters
this couple is kind, generous, loving and thoughtful. constant laughter and joy is on the daily. they have grace and are respectful. they believe they've met the person they're suppose to be with and are grateful everyday.
big hearts
this couple has a taste for adventure and travel. they want travel before the next step and love seeing new places and adventuring together, heck some are even dreaming about living over seas for a while. How fun!
