For Catholic Couples
"Grace is nothing else but a certain beginning of glory in us."
St. Thomas Aquinas
Since 2023, I’ve been blessed to photograph weddings and witness the beauty of couples entering into the vocation of marriage. It is a gift to be present for such a sacred beginning—especially within the beauty and reverence of the Nuptial Mass.
As a convert, I fell in love with the depth, mystery, and graces of the Mass, and it remains one of life’s sweetest gifts to preserve these moments with reverence and intentionality while walking alongside you on your wedding day.

— Nick & Joanna
It was so important to us to find someone who understood the flow of the Mass and knew exactly when and where to be to capture all the important, sacred moments while respecting the holiness of the ceremony. Amanda did just that and went above and beyond to ensure those moments were captured.”
What really sealed the deal for us was her knowledge of how to shoot during a Catholic Mass.
— Casey & Amy
She is calm, directive, fun, and has a developed eye for beauty. Our wedding photos especially encapsulate so many joyful and lovely moments from our union. We are thankful for Amanda’s talent!"
Amanda did an amazing job capturing our engagement and wedding photos.
— Josh & Meghan
She did a perfect job portraying all the grand moments and the hidden ones, too. Her attention to detail was evident throughout the entire day, and we couldn’t have thought of anyone better to photograph our wedding than her! Amanda was joyful, confident, and did an amazing job making us feel natural during the portraits. We’re sure that all our memories are captured in fullness because of her direction and vision."
We are so thankful for the beauty Amanda captured on our wedding day!
Love from Catholic Couples
While I am based in Charlottesville and regularly photograph Catholic weddings throughout Virginia, I also serve couples celebrating their covenant in DC, Baltimore, and throughout the DMV. But no matter where your sacrament takes place, I am honored to travel alongside you to preserve every sacred moment.
