live in the moments
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET.
...Let US CAPTURE
THEM FOR YOU.
Hello Jessica and Aaron!
My name is Amandarose, and I am a fine art film and full service photographer. I specialize in capturing photographic moments that epitomize the unseen, joyful moments that happen throughout your big day. It would be an honor to capture your once-in-a-lifetime celebration. I strive to connect with my couples to help them discover what moments are most important and what they value the most of their day. Being a wedding photographer for over 15 years, I believe that weddings are unique and tailored to each couple. I think it's essential for the photographer to be aligned with your vision and foresee what can happen next as well as create your first heirloom to help tell your love story for the next generation. Below you'll find my collections, and these can be customized and fine-tuned to fit your day or weekend.
I look forward to meeting you, and I can't wait to get started!

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"

"It is hard to put into words how incredibly wonderful our experience was working with Amandrose. She is one of the warmest, most genuine people we've had the pleasure of knowing. She's more than a photographer – she has become a friend."

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.

- Molly & JJ
"There is not much to be said other than, absolutely book Amandarose! From the very first meeting over tacos and Coronas, we knew that she was going to be our photographer. Her personal touches shone through every time we met or spoke with her via phone, email or in-person. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she was 3 steps ahead of us when it came to making sure she captured our day."
- Bo & Katie
"Amandarose was an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way! We clicked right away and she really took the time to get to know us from the beginning and asked us questions no one else thought to ask! she really cared and it felt like we were her only wedding.
I wish other vendors were as professional and talented as Amandarose.
We are so happy with how our engagement photos, wedding photos and album turned out. I highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for the very best!"
