PERFECT is the only word i have to describe Amanda . From our engagement/maternity shoot to our wedding, it was all a seamless and beautiful experience. We are already obsessed with our sneak peek pictures and can't wait to see the rest. Amanda goes above and beyond in her work and it shows in the results. Thank you for capturing the moments that we want to relive time and time again.

If you are reading this review because you're considering photographers for your wedding (or any other event) you should probably go ahead and book them now. We were lucky enough to learn about Amanda Collins Photography through Viaggio Winery's preferred vendor list, and I couldn't be happier to have Amanda as our wedding photographer. Not only did the pictures end up absolutely gorgeous (and delivered in a reasonable timeframe with near-immediate social media previews) but having Amanda and her husband there genuinely made my wedding experience more enjoyable and seamless. They also did an excellent job in getting both black and white and color shots, as well as a good combination of posed and candid photos. I honestly couldn't be happier with the pictures. It might be worth noting that we had a Persian wedding ceremony, which meant a bit more of an elaborate setup including something called the Soreh Aghd. Amanda and Chandler did an incredible job capturing the details of the Sofreh Aghd. It was very reassuring to know that she took care to capture the cultural elements of our wedding with such attention to detail and precision. Additionally, Amanda went absolutely above and beyond the duties of a photographer- from taking care of my immensely complicated bustle, to acting as a security guard for some overly interested passerby near the ceremony site (lol). Thanks again Amanda and Chandler!

After seeing (and being a bridesmaid in) the photos Amanda took for my best friend's wedding three years ago, my husband and I knew we also needed Amanda for whenever we would have our big day. That big day just came and went, but booking Amanda was the first priority (next to booking a venue) during our planning stages. We booked her top package that included our engagement session, ten hours of wedding day coverage, and some added goodies. She and her second shooter, Chandler, were incredibly prompt and efficient. They are both so great to work with, super friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and clearly experts in their field. If I could give more than five stars, I would. We fought against the loss of sunlight due to daylight savings, and we won. The photos are phenomenal and the worst part will be figuring out which ones to hang on the walls. Amanda's photographic eye and editing combination is a glorious dream.

I am obsessed. Amanda and her husband, Chandler, are truly a dream come true. I could not imagine having a better experience with any photographer. Neither my husband or I feel comfortable in front of a camera, and Amanda made it so easy, relaxed and natural. She is a MASTER of light. Her understanding of great photo composition is unreal. It comes naturally to her, and she works quickly and efficiently. There's no waiting around for her to find the angle or the light, she just gets it and boom. It's perfect. More than this, they are amazing humans and such a pleasure to work with. Amanda really went beyond the call of duty, even helping me bustle my dress at one point. I just can't say enough wonderful things about Amanda and Chandler. Wedding photos are obviously a precious (and expensive!) part of your special day. But there is no compromise when it comes to Amanda Collins Photography. Everything will be better than your wildest dreams. They're really that good.

Amanda was recommended to me by a friend who has performed weddings. He had been impressed with how efficient and personable she was at the wedding. After viewing her online portfolio and prices, I was very impressed! She offered reasonable packages and had a middle package that sounded perfect for my timeline and even included a wedding book!I have been thrilled with Amanda from our first contact. She was more than happy to travel to SF for our engagement shoot, responded quickly to any questions I had and got my pictures to me in 2-3 weeks after both the engagement shoot and the wedding! Now THAT is impressive and very much appreciated! I was able to save all the images and print what I wanted from there for family, invitations etc.Before the wedding we met and went over expectations and timeline for the wedding day. She and her husband (the 2nd shooter day of) met me for coffee and discussed everything from what family pictures I wanted, what time time line would be, the feel I was looking for... everything. I left that meeting feeling very confident that we were on the same page and that all my important details would be captured. On my wedding day, they were just amazing! We stayed on schedule, they got every detail I asked for and the family pictures were a breeze. Doing a 'first look' before the ceremony was one of the best decisions I made in the whole wedding, and I love those pictures so much. Really, I love all my pictures! Start to finish, everything was flawless and I could not have hoped for better pictures or a better experience. They were worth every penny, and more.

Amanda and her husband Chandler are absolutely amazing! They are warm, friendly people that make you feel right at ease. Her eye for lighting and details is beyond words! Our wedding photos are everything we could have dreamed of and more. We have received so many compliments on our wedding and engagement photos because of the way she captures the light and surroundings. I would recommend Amanda a million times over!

Amanda and Chandler did such a fantastic job as the photographers at our wedding. The photographer was the first vendor we booked when planning our wedding. Amanda was always very professional and made us feel comfortable from the start. From our initial consultation, to discussing the logistics of the wedding, to selecting our photo groups for my giant family, and her being with us all day taking photos, it was a great experience. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, but Amanda made everything so easy. The photos she took were amazing and we could not be happier. She was able to get them back to us in a timely manner and we cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much for doing such an incredible job and making our wedding so memorable!

We were referred to Amanda by a friend who was recently married in Monterey, and her photos turned out gorgeous! Throughout the whole process Amanda was sweet, organized and great to work with. Amanda is an amazing artist who knows how to achieve unique, romantic lighting. and has a great eye for scenery, trees and plant life. If you're looking for a photographer that captures the romance on your wedding day, definitely choose Amanda! Highly recommended if your venue is Vizcaya (or another venue with lots of greenery), as our photos turned out AMAZING. Arguably one of the most important vendors when wedding planning, so don't skimp on your photographer! PS, if you want a dream team& love Amanda Collins Photography, look into Flowers by Lisa. You won't be disappointed!

We had the most amazing experience with Amanda and could not love our engagement or wedding photos more!She is punctual, professional and so SWEET! Her and her husband went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and on time for our wedding day. They made everyone feel confident and comfortable. They also made sure we had time to get every photo we requested... which was a lot. HA!I was pleasantly surprised when a few days after our wedding she had already sent us 18 beautifully edited photos and then our whole gallery just a month and a half later. She is truly the best at what she does!
