Amanda Dawn
I am so excited you are here and I cannot wait to officially be your photographer!
I believe in collecting memories over things. In enjoying life’s simple pleasures, like evenings on the back porch with the one you love. I believe in documenting your life’s stories no matter how grand or small. I believe in creating images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on the walls of your house – making it your home.
Even with its ups and downs, your life, your story, are beautiful and I can’t wait to create images to capture that – let the adventure begin!

What are the Chances?”
I absolutely love learning about my couples’ love stories and hearing how fate brought them together in the moments they least expected. Life has a way of guiding us all on unique journeys and I count it an absolute joy and honor to capture the moments that are so dear to your journey.
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
01
MY MARRIAGE
It’s truly a blessing to enjoy marriage alongside my best friend. What started as a friendship has blossomed into such a fun love. Nights spent together in the kitchen cooking a new meal or dreaming up new ideas on the back porch are some of my favorite moments.
02
Our BUNDLE OF JOY
We are so excited to be welcoming our first baby, a little girl, in January 2024. I will be taking a short maternity leave as we adjust to life as first-time parents but I cannot wait to be back capturing weddings in the spring.
03
OUR KITTENS
These two bring so much joy + snuggles to our lives! Remington is our cautious one, whereas Winchester throws caution to the wind. They balance each other perfect and are the perfect addition to help make our house a home.
04
TRAVEl adventures
One thing I love most in life is getting to experience new things and making memories that will fill the stories we tell for years to come. Some of my favorite trips have been to Ireland, Ecuador, Grand Cayman, and all over the U.S.
REMINGTON
WINCHESTER
THE FLOCK
THE HEART BEHIND IT ALL
I BELIEVE IN INTIMATE WEDDINGS
because, I had one myself! After being a witness to so many different weddings over the years, I had a lot of ideas when it came to planning my own and I understand just how stressful it can be to feel like you have to do it a certain way. That’s why I’m here to encourage you to not be afraid to choose something different, and do things your way.
Our entire wedding was made up of about 20 people, including us! Instead of paying for a large celebration that didn’t feel true to us, we were able to spend an entire weekend celebrating with our friends and family.. not just one day. The cherry on top, which everyone STILL talks about to this day.. was that we had our ceremony at the stunning Ringling Museum. Just because you are having a small wedding, doesn’t mean it can’t still be an amazing experience.
Sipping coffee and playing cards.
Nothing starts the morning off better than a warm cup of coffee. Throw in a friendly game of Phase 10 and you have the ingredients for a perfect start to the day.
Sunsets on the beach
Beaches are naturally beautiful, but nothing beats the glow and amazing colors that come at sunset. Turn on the perfect Pandora station and find a spot to sit for the perfect Sunday evening.
Catching waves
While I may not like being in water deeper than I can see the bottom, I love opportunities to enjoy some boogie boarding when the waves form just right.
Sipping a drink on the back porch.
Nothing cools you down faster in a Southern summer than a tall glass of something cold! Throw in that special someone cooking dinner on the grill and you have the ingredients for a perfect night.
Birds of a feather flock together.
They may be independent but bring out the special treats and they become snuggly. I love play time with my favorite flock.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Amanda has been a part of every major milestone in my adult life. She and my husband set up a surprise engagement session, our wedding, anniversaries, family pictures once our family grew. She’s always up to travel to a new place for a new back drop for us (I like to switch it up.) We have always had a top notch experience from start to finish. Professional, fun, great photography what more could you ask for?? Book with Amanda you won’t be disappointed!
