GET TO KNOw amanda
Hey there! I'm Amanda, the face behind Amanda Eloise Photography! I am a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Columbus, OH.
Amanda Eloise Photography was born from a passion to capture beautiful, meaningful moments and still them in time for generations to come. As much as I love all the pretty that comes with a wedding day, I strongly believe the marriage is 100% more important that the wedding itself. My heart is to serve my couples to feel loved and taken care of through the entire process from planning to gallery delivery. And for them and their families to know without a doubt that I am rooting for them in their marriage!
But anyways, who am I really???
I am a Christ follower, happily married to my very best friend, Tim, mom to my sweet baby boy Everett, a dog mom to our fur baby Maverick, and an extroverted introvert who loves to spend time with family and friends.
I have an addiction to chipotle, seriously Tim and I go at least once a week. I'm definitely more of a fan of staying in playing board games and watching movies than going out. But Tim and I LOVE hopping in the car and road tripping to random new places together!
I love watching the sunrise on the beach, shopping at target, and burning bath and body works candles.
But most of all I LOVE my job! I take great pride in serving my couples the very best I can. I love building relationships and walking away with some new friends in life and letting you walk away with breathtaking photos to remember these once in a lifetime moments!!
Thanks for taking the time to get to know me a little, I absolutely can't wait to meet you!
"Amanda fit right in and felt like one of the group immediately. She was prepared, efficient, and ready to execute our plan while always making it feel like a real day and not just a very long photo shoot. During real moments like our first look or first dance, it felt like she faded into the background so it felt like it was just my now-husband and I, while being right there capturing every bit. Family portraits after the ceremony were efficient and organized and we knocked them out quickly, just how we wanted. Taking couples photos was so much fun that we asked to keep taking more because the little previews she showed on her camera were just too good to stop. Amanda was just wonderful. If we were to plan a wedding again, we’d hire Amanda right away without question. Thank you for everything!!!"

"Amanda recently captured my wedding day and she was absolutely amazing!! Not only are her pictures stunning (seriously, I’ve had so many people tell me my wedding pictures are the best they’ve ever seen), but she’s also the sweetest! She’s very knowledgeable and can direct you to get amazing pictures, but she’s also super easy to work with and really helped my wedding go so smoothly. She’s very organized and goes out of her way to make you happy! Of all of my venders, she was my favorite and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!!"
- Chelsea & Connor
"Amanda is THE BEST! Her photography style is exactly what I was looking for and, after meeting her, I knew immediately that she was who I wanted to capture our big day! She is so genuine and sweet and, not to mention, she is a ROCKSTAR behind the camera. She always says the most encouraging things when she is shooting and that was something I really love about her! When I say I couldn't have made a better decision by booking her as our photographer, I mean it! I seriously look through our photos about once a week, I am so obsessed with them!
- Layla & Adam
"BOOK HER! Those are the two words of advice I have for any future bride reading these reviews. Amanda is more than just a photographer, she’s a trusted friend right by your side during the planning process and the big day. I consider myself lucky to have been one of her clients because let me tell you she works hard for you. Our wedding day was a hot summer day yet Amanda had planned all the shots and locations to perfection to ensure efficient and quality outdoor photos. To boot, she’s extremely personable putting anyone who’s a bit camera shy at ease. A picture is worth a thousand words, and Amanda’s professionalism and quality is worth every bit of that and more. I would highly recommend her to any future bride!."
- Shelby & Mitch
"We are so thankful we chose Amanda to capture our wedding!! She went above and beyond my husband’s and my wedding photography expectations. First of all, she is a delight to work with! She is so kind, helpful, and professional and brought so much joy and peace to the whole experience. Our wedding photos are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen! I was nervous about how they would come out because it was drizzling on us and the weather kept changing on us all day, but Amanda is a master at her craft and the photos are beyond perfect. I am so impressed that she captured every little detail, shots we wouldn’t have thought to ask for, but she didn’t miss a thing. My husband and I keep high-fiving ourselves for finding and hiring the BEST photographer out there… she knocked it out of the park and made the entire experience a joyful one. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough!"
- Micah & Matous
"Amanda was amazing. She was so much fun to shoot with and the most encouraging photographer, she makes you feel like a model and that you’re killing it. We had so much fun doing our engagement session with her and it truly felt like we knew her a bit when she came to join us on our big day which was a big thing for me. Because of that, she did an incredible job taking not only incredible pictures of everyone that day but we truly felt like she could capture our personalities and who we are in our photos. I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a wedding, engagement or for any other occasion. She helped ease my nerves when I was stressed and moved the schedule around if needed to get all the images I wanted without being behind all day. She documented our day perfectly and because of her we love to look back and relive in. Thank you thank you thank you! It was a joy to work with you!!"
- Alyssa & Sam
"I absolutely love Amanda's photos and as soon as I saw her portfolio, I knew she would capture the romantic and dreamy looking photos that I've always wanted. Amanda is a very detailed and thoughtful person, we had to reschedule our engagement shoot over several months due to the pandemic and then weather problems, but each time she stayed positive, encouraging, and helped us make it work. When we finally had our engagement shoot, Amanda was cheerful and made us laugh so much, and she was able to get such beautiful magazine quality photos. It was worth the wait. The lighting was so dreamy and warm! Although our wedding had to be postponed, Amanda was very responsive to emails and was able to accommodate our new date in 2021 (despite moving back to OH!). She even went out of her way to surprise us on our original wedding date, which shows just how thoughtful she is and that she truly cares for her couples. Stop searching - join the AEP family now"

However, these albums are important not just for our couples to have... but for their grandchildren to enjoy as well!

engagement sessions
Engagement sessions are complimentary within each wedding package.
I'm a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. This time spent together is the perfect time to get to know each other more and get you both comfortable in front of the camera! No worries though, your only job during your session will be to love on each other and have fun! I will coach you through all the posing and make you feel relaxed in front of the camera. By the time your wedding day comes around, camera jitters will be something of the distant past!
In addition, timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why I’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time!
What to expect:
1-2 hours of photo time
2 outfits
75 final images

What is your photography style?
I am a light and airy photographer with a soft, bright, and colorful film inspired look that will stand the test of time. I strive for my images to be full of joy, elegance, and romance. My heart is to serve my couples making them feel comfortable and cared for with my calm and encouraging personality. When photographing sessions and weddings I am confident in guiding the needed posed portraits but I love to capture the candid and natural moments too.

Can you hold our date for us? How do I reserve you for my date?
A 25% deposit and signed contract is required to officially save your date. Thanks to the beauty of the internet everything is handled online through a link where you can view, sign, and pay for your package chosen.
To be fair to all potential clients, I cannot hold your date until this has been done.
faq
How many images will I get? Do you deliver every photo you take?
On average I deliver 75 images per hour. I do not deliver every image I take as I take a large amount of images to ensure that I capture those perfect moments. I don't include blurred/botched images, pictures caught at unflattering moments (eg. eyes closed, mid sneeze, etc.,) or duplicates of the same exact photo. However all other good images I of course deliver!
faq
What if I'm awkward in front of the camera?
I can't tell you how many time I have heard couples tell me this and I have never once had a couple leave their engagement session feeling the same way! Give me 10 minutes to get you warmed up and you'll be surprised to find just how easy it is and that you guys are basically already models!
Seriously don't worry, if you two can hold hands, snuggle, and give a kiss or two you are all set. I'll have you two twirling, giggling, and dancing to get those Nicolas Sparks worthy photos in no time!
faq
We love you but you're out of budget, can I get a deal?
I 100 percent get it, Tim and I paid for our wedding out of our own pockets fresh out of college so I definitely understand the struggle. I am always happy to look into creating a custom package to see if I can work with you and your budget. However if you are price shopping I am not the photographer for you. I do not give discounts as that would not be fair to my other clients. I believe with my whole heart that photography is the most meaningful and long lasting wedding day investments and I hope you do too!
