live in the moments
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET.
...Let US CAPTURE
THEM FOR YOU.
Hello Danielle and Lex!
My name is Amandarose, and I am a fine art film photographer. I specialize in capturing photographic moments that epitomize the unseen, joyful moments that happen throughout your big day. It would be an honor to capture your once-in-a-lifetime celebration. I strive to connect with my couples to help them discover what moments are most important and what they value the most of their day. Being a wedding photographer for over 15 years, I believe that weddings are unique and tailored to each couple. I think it's essential for the photographer to be aligned with your vision and foresee what can happen next. Below you'll find my starting collections, and these can be customized and fine-tuned to fit your day or weekend.
I look forward to meeting you, and I can't wait to get started!

Hi!
Thanks for being here! A little about me and my business!
I've been in business since 2010 and am originally from the East Coast. I've been living in Carmel for over eight years and LOVE IT! I often travel to photograph couples, and I couldn't ask for a better job.
As a fine art film photographer, I'd be honored to capture your love story, no matter how big or small. I believe my purpose is to capture special moments and document countless love stories. I do it for the feels, laughter, tears, first dances, vow exchanges, and intimate moments.

"Amandarose is an amazing photographer and a fantastic person! We loved working with her. She is professional and helped us stay organized on our wedding day. The photos were beautiful and exactly like her portfolio. We can't recommend her enough!"

I'm never uninspired! I'm doing what I do, because it's my passion to capture moments of joy that will live on forever.
Passion job
I am film photographer. Like a real one! I've been photographing with film since 2005.
film
I'm originally from the east coast - you know where it can rain for weeks and snow for months! Photographing indoors, in barns, in barrel rooms, no sweat!
I teach lighting to new photographers!

If you're seeing a doctor, you'd want someone who you can trust and has experience right? Well this goes for a photographer too!
Experience is a thing...
"There is not much to be said other than, absolutely book Amandarose! From the very first meeting over tacos and Coronas, we knew that she was going to be our photographer. Her personal touches shone through every time we met or spoke with her via phone, email or in-person. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she was 3 steps ahead of us when it came to making sure she captured our day."

ags couples
the ags couple
get to know
these two have been together for a long time. they know each other inside and out and can not imagine their life with out their bestfriend.
sweethearts
love grows stronger for these two as time goes by. It amazes them how love just keeps growing and they have so much love for one another. It's as if they first started dating, but better.
head over heels
I believe in opposite attract. these two are exactly that. one is more realistic and grounded, while the other is a dreamer and shows their partner what it's like up in the clouds.
the perfect fit
both come from strong, loving, supportive families. marriage matters to them. they look up to their parents and want to have that kind of love 50 years from now. family comes first with them and they wouldn't have it any other way.
Family matters
this couple is kind, generous, loving and thoughtful. constant laughter and joy is on the daily. they have grace and are respectful. they believe they've met the person they're suppose to be with and are grateful everyday.
big hearts
this couple has a taste for adventure and travel. they want travel before the next step and love seeing new places and adventuring together, heck some are even dreaming about living over seas for a while. How fun!
