“Photos that will last a lifetime. She has the cutest ideas.”

“Amanda was the best decision I made for my destination wedding. She was fun and flexible. I was looking for a simple photo shoot for my second wedding and she worked with is to create a very reasonably priced. She arrived as planned, was professional and funny. We had a timing issue and she was willing to extend her time to make sure I had what I needed on one of the most important days of my life. My pictures are gorgeous and unique. I would highly recommend her and would use her again in the future! “

“Words could never express the way I feel when I look at the photos from my dream day. Amanda was so thoughtful with every shot and very in-tune with the surroundings. The purity of each shot makes them so personal. The ability to realize what the true version of the couple is, even all dressed up, and to capture the treasured moments with ease, and to let everyone be themselves! I would never recommend another photographer. The idea of Amanda working so closely with her husband, the couple can truly show off the capability to appreciate every detail and especially every couple. The married couple duo is outstanding in ever way.”

“Amanda Obara you are an amazing photographer!!!  I can never thank you enough for the amazing pictures of our wedding day and for being a part of it. You and Mike Obara are an amazing team!“

“Amazing!” “Phenomenal!” “I’ve never seen wedding photos like this before!” “Your pictures are beautiful!” These are just some of the comments I’ve gotten from the photos my friends and family have seen from Amanda. We are so lucky that we found Amanda through a referral. She had the vision and talent to give us exactly what we wanted for our wedding photos. She has the ability to take great “BIG picture” photos, but she has the eye to capture the small, intimate details that people often forget.

She has a fantastic and fun personality and blended in with our group seamlessly and put everyone at ease. If you like the photojournalism style of photography, I can’t say enough about Amanda’s talent behind the camera. She’ll be worth every penny you pay her to capture your special day or event.”

“Amanda is extremely talented in her work. She captured every single important aspect of my wedding, from hair and makeup with my silly and crazy friends, struggling to put my dress on lol, every romantic moment, to a breath taking kiss at sunset that she took the time to find out the time sunset was happening (8/14/16) She made me feel comfortable and beautiful, as well as making my 6 year old daughter feel so special and included, she forgot to throw her rose petals down the aisle, so Amanda came up with a great idea and had her toss the petals in the air while me and my husband were sitting in the grass…I will never get that moment back, but Amanda stopped time with her camera, and we will be able to look at it for the rest of our lives and remember the joy and happiness that was felt at that point in time. She was an absolute hit at my wedding, EVERYONE loved her and couldn’t get over how beautiful the photos came out. She has an uplifting and fun personality, people who hated getting their picture taken, were laughing and producing genuine smiles!! I loved her so much, i still talk to her today, and I will continue to build a friendship with such an amazing person!! Also, her DJ husband Mike and her make such an awesome team!! Every detail of the reception like cake cutting, garter and bouquet toss, food served was so well organized, I didn’t need to worry about one thing, THEY are the reason my special day was perfect!!!!”

“Amanda was our wedding photographer and she was wonderful! Very professional! She was so thoughtful and spent so much time with us to make sure we got every single picture we wanted. All the pictures came out beautifully and we get so many compliments on them! I can’t thank her enough!“

“So long story short … I was the Groomzilla for our wedding and we had shopped around with our other vendors as some gave us an uneasy feeling. However, when we first met Amanda at a wedding expo, my wife-to-be and myself knew that we were going to book with her. Amanda knows her business and was able to provide recommendations to ensure that we would be able to obtain the pictures we wanted. When it came to our wedding day Amanda went above and beyond to help us capture every moment on our special day. Thanks again for your time and effort!”

“Stop looking. She’s the one. Amanda made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I told her my insecurity about photo taking and she worked with me the day of to remind me to place my body in a way that my photographs wouldn’t reflect it. She spent the whole day with me and my girls while we got ready and although we ran behind a few times, I wasn’t stressed and Amanda definitely played a role in that. She is worth every single penny, not only for her work but definitely her dedication and that unlimited hours package. I loved not being on a time table like I was with everything else for my day.”

“Amanda from start to finish was amazing! She worked with our budget (which was crucial since my husband and I were paying for the majority of our wedding ourselves) and listened to our needs, desires and importantly what I knew I didn’t want. She was available whenever I needed to ask her a question and responded quickly each time. It was super convenient being able to go online and fill in any information she needed, including names of bridal party, a checklist of pictures I definitely wanted to be captured, and a timeline of events in which would take place. This online setup was easy to use and made the whole process a lot smoother and less overwhelming. We were always on the same page. Amanda showed up on time as planned and was there through the entire evening (til the lights came on) I wasn’t concerned about what time she was leaving and if she captured all the right moments. Every time I turned she was doing what I needed her too-capturing moments I wasn’t able to see, being the busy bride. Amanda kept me in the loop of what was going on throughout the day, reassuring me that everything was going as it should. I desperately wanted an amazing sunset and foliage photos as I planned our wedding date around that (10/9). Unfortunately it pour and was gloomy all day 🙁 Amanda knew my disappointment and reassured me that she would capture those moments the best she could. I appreciated her not steering me away from what she knew I wanted based on the dreariness of the day. She also reassured me that it was my call, whatever I wanted, she would make sure it was done, “I have rain gear for everything”, she kept saying. I highly recommend Amanda to capture the wedding day you’ve always dreamed of, because I now have memories for a life time because of her!“

“I am amazed of what Amanda has captured on the day of our daughters wedding. She did an amazing job. Beyond what I would have thought, she truly is a remarkable photographer. If your looking. Look no more. A million thanks.. out to you Amanda”
