Crystal: I love your website. It's just gorgeous! I have not done my website yet, and I have been thinking about going with Bludomain. I'm just not sure if I can handle the HTML interface or not. But you did a great job with it!

Oh my goodness, how time does fly! I cannot believe it has been one year since Abi and Dallas’ wedding. In fact, I am a day late. It seems like it was just yesterday! I just have to thank Dallas and Abi. You two are wonderful. I really appreciate all that you have done for us. I would not be where I am today in this business without you. I am forever grateful. Thanks for being such great friends and we hope to see you soon. I hope this past year has been a great one for you!!! Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! We love you guys!!!!!





kelleemarie: It is amazing how time flies. It is always fun to look back over a wedding a year ago and see how you have evolved and changed as an artist. You have such a distinctive style and these pictures are so cute. you do an awesome job!

Crystal: WOW!!!! These are great shots. I love the last one.

I shot Jenessa and Gary’s wedding last friday at the Bountiful Temple and believe it or not there was still snow on the ground! But there were lots of beautiful flowers also so it felt like the Spring wedding they were wanting. I had so much fun shooting their pictures! Jenessa is the sweetest girl and they are such a beautiful couple. Jenessa’s little sister was so emotional all day about the whole wedding. It was so sweet. There are so many of my favorites, I had a hard time picking, but here a few.






Kate Benson: The tulip shot is fantastic!

threewinks: Amanda, love these! They look so dreamy and romantic. Nice job!

kelleemarie: Again, love your style. Your pictures look like they could be on a postcard. Dreamy and romantic is exactly the right description. You are great!

Alisha: These are SOOOO beautiful! LOVE them!!!!

Jackie: Jenessa is my sister and think the are a perfect couple!!!

Jenessa's Family: We love Jenessa and Gary. They are so great together!! We think they are a perfect match!! Thanks Amanda, you did a wonderful job. We love every picture.

Amanda: Thanks everyone for your sweet comments!!!

Angela’s Bridals

I shot bridals for Angela on Saturday. She was so sweet and fun to be around. I can’t wait for their wedding on May 19. Their ceremony is going to be at Mt. Ogden park and then the reception afterwards outside at The Union Station in Ogden. It is going to be so beautiful. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

Misty and Jared’s wedding was on March 31 at the Tuscany Gardens in Roy. I always love shooting there because Debbie is so sweet and fun and the facitlity is just so gorgeous. Misty and Jared have been together for 9 years You could tell they were still so much in love. They also have a 9 year old daughter Madison. She was so sweet and so emotional after the ceremony. They were such a cute little family!!! Misty and Jared had such great and fun personalities. They were both so sweet and I loved working with their families. I have known Misty’s aunt Lola for a few years and it was so great to see her and her daughters again. Not to mention all of the little kids there were so cute and such little models in front of the camera. I always love capturing the joy and excitement of the kids at weddings. They make it that much more fun. Thanks so much Misty and Jared!!!!




Dustin Izatt: Oh my cheese and crackers, these are absolutely stunning ma'am. These photos are like poetry to my soul singing sweet songs of romance and love.

Jenessa’s Bridals

April 5, 2007









I had such a blast doing Jenessa’s bridals in Salt Lake City. Not only is she gorgeous, but she is such a sweetheart. I can’t wait for her wedding April 20th. Here are a few of my favorites from her shoot.

Amy N: These are awesome! I love your colors especially the colorful walls.

Dustin Izatt: These are all that and a bag of skittles. These are the hottest things I have ever seen since the creation of the sun.

Alisha: Way cool. She is beautiful...that 5th shot ROCKS! Excellent work!!!!

My First Post!!!!

April 1, 2007




This is my very first time posting on my blog. I feel kind of silly about this whole thing. But here goes nothing… I have 2 beautiful daughters Jayde and Savana. Jayde is 5 years old and is such a sweetheart. She is so loving and caring and cautious. Which brings me to Savana. Savana is wild, crazy and untamed. We frequently find her on tables or jumping on beds. (Oh yeah, she is only one and a half.) She is our kid that is making us wonder if we want anymore kids!! But, she is a sweetheart too. I have posted a few pictures of them. Me and my husband, Chris have been married for almost 4 years now. He is such a wonderful dad and so supportive of me. I love wedding photography. I love the excitement and the special feelings that come from weddings and I love to be there to capture every moment of it. I love meeting and getting to know new people. It is so great being able to do something you love.
There that wasn’t so bad……. well, check back later for more posts from my exciting life.

Dustin Izatt: These are just adorable shots Amanda. Your girls are just the cutest ever.

Rebekah: What beautiful little girls you have!! Thanks for your comments on my blog. How do I know you? You look so familiar.
