Hello, I’m Amandarose.
I believe your wedding photographs should bring you back to how your day actually felt.
My style is a beautiful blend of timeless imagery and movement, combining the intentionality of portraiture with the honesty and energy of documentary storytelling. I work with both film and digital photography, creating photographs that feel artful and enduring while still preserving the real moments as they naturally unfold.
After more than 20 years as a photographer, I bring experience, perspective, and an instinct for anticipating moments before they happen — creating meaningful imagery in the midst of a fast-moving wedding day while giving you the space to actually experience it.
I photograph each wedding personally, supported by an experienced team that allows us to document the people, relationships, details, and moments surrounding your celebration without losing sight of what matters most: the two of you actually experiencing it.
I also believe your photographs are meant to live beyond a screen. From the way I photograph your day to the final design of your wedding album, I am always thinking about the story we are creating and how it will be preserved. Every couple has the opportunity to work with me personally to design a custom heirloom album, creating something tangible that can be held, shared, and eventually passed down as part of your family’s history.
I’m Amandarose.
I grew up in Pennsylvania and eventually found my way to California’s Central Coast, which I’ve been lucky to call home for more than a decade. Today, life is rooted in Carmel with my partner, Jonathan, and our mini goldendoodle, Tiger — although I’m always happy when photography gives me a reason to pack a camera and travel somewhere new.
Family has always been incredibly important to me, and I think that’s one of the reasons weddings have remained so meaningful after more than 20 years behind a camera. I notice the relationships surrounding you — the way a parent looks at you when you aren’t paying attention, grandparents taking everything in, siblings being siblings, lifelong friends, and all of the little interactions that may not seem significant until years later.
I’m sentimental by nature. I believe photographs should be printed, held, framed, opened on anniversaries, and eventually passed down. It’s why I care so deeply about albums and creating something tangible from the photographs we make together.
Outside of weddings, I love traveling, being near the California coast, spending time with the people I love, and having Tiger somewhere nearby. I’m happiest around good food, beautiful places, meaningful conversation, and the kind of moments you wish you could slow down just a little.
More than anything, I genuinely love getting to know the people I photograph. By the time your wedding arrives, I don’t want to feel like a stranger showing up with a camera. I want you to feel like you can trust me, be completely yourselves, and know that I understand the people and moments that matter most to you.

Your final investment will depend on the scope of your celebration, coverage needs, date, location, and the pieces of the experience that are most important to you.
Wedding-day coverage can be complemented by engagement sessions, welcome parties and rehearsal dinners, additional coverage, film photography, custom albums, parent albums, and finished artwork.
During our consultation, I’ll learn more about the two of you and what you’re planning, then walk you through the coverage I believe will best serve your celebration.
