Our Story From The Beginning

AMANDA PORTER PHOTOGRAPHY at a glance

I believe great photography isn’t just about beautiful images — it’s about how you felt in the moment. That’s why I focus on creating a calm, elevated experience from beginning to end. Whether we’re documenting a destination wedding, an intimate elopement, or a quiet moment of everyday magic, my goal is to make you feel seen, celebrated, and at ease in front of the lens. Photography is not just my job, it is my life's work and passion. As my client, it is important for me to care for you and make sure you have fun every step of the way! 

Here to make your once-in-a-lifetime moments everlasting

Successful Wedding and Event Design is Rooted in Intentional Details and Unique Design Stories.

We believe

OUR PHILOSOPHY and design approach

Your wedding deserves more than a photographer who simply shows up — it deserves someone who’s fully invested. That’s why I intentionally take on a limited number of weddings each year. This approach allows me to serve each couple with the creativity, care, and presence their story deserves.

By keeping my calendar selective, I can devote the time to truly get to know you, build trust, and create something personal and lasting. From our first conversation to the final gallery, I’m not just a vendor — I’m a creative partner dedicated to documenting your day with artistry and heart. If my work resonates with you, I’d love to hear about your vision and see if we’re the right fit.

for limitless service.

OUR PHILOSOPHY and approach

are not the details.

The details

Our clients are present. Not just in the frame—but in the moment. They trust us to preserve what’s real and fleeting while elevating it into timeless, fine art imagery. They know that the best photos aren’t manufactured—they’re felt.

They care about style over trends. About stories over poses. About legacy over likes. They seek personal touches that speak to who they are and where they come from—heirloom accessories, handwritten vows, a playlist curated from first road trips and late-night dance parties.

They want to look back on their photos and feel transported—not to a Pinterest board, but to a moment that was unmistakably theirs.

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

You care about style over trends and want personal touches that represent your story.

our clients are guided to create fine art imagery without even realizing it
