Wedding Photography
As a wedding photographer in Grand Junction, I serve off-beat couples who are looking for vibrant photos that help them relive their best day ever.
Too many couples worry about pleasing everyone around them with their wedding day, that they forget to plan a day they'll enjoy.
I help ordinary couples just like you craft their dream wedding day that is easy, genuine, and stress-free and document your day with timeless, vibrant photos.
If you’re looking for a photographer with over 12 years of experience who prioritizes your experience and needs above all else, you’re in the right place!
genuine. timeless. vibrant.
“Incredibly talented, down-to-earth, flexible, easy-going, timeline guru… she’s incredible! It is so much fun to look back at all of the candid shots she took throughout the night, she was truly able to capture what it felt like to be there." -K&K
IMAGINE YOUR WEDDING DAY…
Imagine your wedding day... every moment wonderful yet feeling a little too fast. You wish you could slow down time.
Imagine feeling fully comfortable in front of the camera, knowing your photographer will gently guide you to look your best.
Imagine having a professional who is a fly on the wall to capture the day as it unfolds so you can relive it over and over.
Imagine receiving tips from a professional in the field for over ten years, so you feel stress-free and confident during planning.
Imagine enjoying the intentional celebration you’ve created with a pro to help you craft the perfect timeline and family formal list so you can enjoy your day.
Imagine planning your favorite day, regardless of what others think, and fully enjoying every moment because you know the experience matters more than the aesthetic.

It’s important to make sure you like my work before you get started on booking your session! Get lost in some of my work and see my vibrant, timeless style.
I HEAR IT ALL THE TIME…
“WE ARE HORRIBLE AT TAKING PICTURES.”
But after the day together, couples always tell me how easy, fun, and laid back their time was!
“When we got the photos, my husband said, “She made us look like models!” She really did.” -Rachel & Loren
So what’s the secret? Feeling comfortable with the people you’re with and genuinely having FUN makes all the difference!
While I’m debunking some myths, let me add:
YOU DON’T HAVE TO LOOK A CERTAIN WAY OR LOVE A CERTAIN WAY TO GET AMAZING IMAGES LIKE THESE. COME AS YOU ARE – YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.
Your wedding - your way
There's a weird thing in the wedding world where photographers will act like your wedding day is their personal styled shoot. You won't find that around here.
I'm there to capture your wedding day - your way.
Not into detail photos? We don't have to do them!
Would you prefer to get ready alone without it captured? That's cool!
Only want coverage of the ceremony, group photos and first dance? I'm happy to do that for you.
I'm there for you - not for me! I want to document your day - whatever that day looks like.
sounds perfect
your first family heirloom
Your wedding collection will include an Heirloom Album, full of photos that tell the story of your day. You can flip through its pages and relive those moments you long for from the day. No more realizing years down the road you never did anything with your wedding photos!
"We have been passing around our photo album with family over the last couple days and everyone is loving it. We wanted to thank you again for your work!"
-Clinton & Ruth
I specialize in drinking chai tea lattes, and watching Gilmore Girls reruns! I also specialize in capturing the story & scenery of your celebration.
As a full service wedding photographer in Grand Junction, my mission is to preserve your favorite moments in beautiful images for you to relive those best moments of life that fly by too fast.
A Little About Me...
I believe there’s no better sight than the night sky at 10,000 feet.
I also believe you should be able to be authentically you on your wedding day. Whether that’s an off-beat elopement or more traditional wedding celebration, I strive to capture each genuine moment.
I strive to capture the day as it unfolds, all those candid moment to perfectly preserve what it felt like to be there. Too many photographers use their couples' wedding days as a portfolio building time, but you won't find that around here. I'm there for you - not for me!

Amanda is the perfect wedding photographer. She’s efficient, she gets absolutely all the shots you want and those you didn’t even know you want, and she just blended into our event perfectly. The photos perfectly captured the whole day and I feel like I can easily relive it just by looking back at the photos. I highly recommend Amanda.
"The Perfect Wedding Photographer"
-Beth & Dustin
We used Amanda for our wedding and she is the BEST! Our photos turned out amazing and she captured the feel of our night perfectly. She’s also really fun to hang with. We didn’t want her to leave at the end of the night!
"She captured the feel of our night perfectly."
- Brittney & Brandon
Amanda was absolutely amazing! We traveled from out of state to do a destination engagement photoshoot and she made the planning experience stress free! She helped us each step of the way from the initial contact, to picking a location, picking a date for the perfect snow-covered mountain weather, to the actual photoshoot poses.
"She made the planning experience stress free!"
- Kylie & Murat
Amanda did an amazing job on our elopement photos! She was incredibly organized during all the planning and sent incredibly helpful tips and ideas in the months leading up. Plus all her recommendations for other local vendors were fantastic.
