I found Amanda while working as a wedding coordinator at my own venue. She sent the couple's wedding album to all of their vendors and I completely fell in love with her work. My now husband and I got engaged last November and I knew we had to have Amanda photograph our wedding. We purchased a package along with an engagement shoot and it was perfect! We got the photos back and knew we had made the right choice, so excited for our own wedding day.

Then COVID hit. We originally had a large wedding planned for this November but due to the unknown future of the virus, we decided to hold a smaller ceremony and reception with close family and friends this past September. Amanda couldn't have been more accommodating! We were able to change our date with her and she was so responsive to all of my emails changing photo groupings and timelines. She also would regularly check in with us, making sure it was known she was there if we needed ANYTHING.

Our wedding day was perfect! She made everything so easy and fun - we felt so comfortable with her! Her photography is so natural and she captures every moment perfectly. We HIGHLY recommend Amanda. Our family and friends are still raving about the album. We couldn't be happier!

My husband and I got married this past October (2019), and I wish I could count the times I’ve since said that Amanda was my favorite vendor to work with out of everyone we hired for our special day, but I’ve lost track! Amanda was professional, helpful, supportive, fun, and simply put, amazing at what she did! I would recommend her a million times over. I have gotten so many compliments on my wedding photos, and it’s all thanks to her magic. Not only was Amanda so great to have around for the wedding itself, but she was more than helpful (and crazy organized) leading up to the big day, and then so timely getting our photos back afterwards. We LOVE Amanda! And will certainly be using her again in the future for all of our photography needs!

Amanda exceeded all hopes and expectations for our wedding photographer. Due to COVID, I reached out to Amanda after cancelling our planned wedding in the Caribbean while trying to plan a private ceremony in under 3 weeks to honor our original date. Amanda was flexible, professional, creative, and her energy lifted my spirits during a challenging time. She was a joy, and we are so happy with the stunning photos she captured of our wedding. She went above and beyond by mapping out a photography plan to maximize our time together. Her creative vision came together beautifully, and we will forever be thankful. She truly made our day. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I cannot speak highly enough about Amanda! We worked with her for our very special Halloween Wedding of 2020. Amanda was able to capture the moody, dark glamour that we were looking for and the photos were STUNNING. Also, it was great to have her walk through our venue to determine which areas would provide the best photos before our wedding day. Amanda and Mike were so fun to work with- they made us laugh, provided a warm and comfortable space to do the shoot, and are genuinely just great people! We look forward to working with them in the future.

We originally were going to forgo a photographer because after attending a few wedding expos, we cringed after viewing those hackney staged "prom-like" wedding albums. Based on a friend's recommendation, we spoke with Amanda shortly before the wedding and after having a conversation with her, we knew Amanda would be perfect for our needs. Every aspect of our interactions were easy and effortless. Her assistant helped capture the moments of our guests arriving while we were having our "first look". Having the second photographer available also helped to ensure none of those special moments were missed. Amanda helped capture the moments of our wedding day without feeling overly staged.

As a nontraditional couple, it was important for us to choose a photographer who had a nontraditional approach for wedding photography. She was able to capture many family photos that were more naturally arranged. However, the true moments were captured with a more "in the moment" photo, whether this was when we first met, us dancing with my parents, and with our closest loved ones and friends. Also, Amanda specializes in candid photos, capturing your guests in the moment naturally, you friends laughing in the middle of the conversation, your Nana being so excited about dancing with her grandson, or your father looking like a mobster like waiting for his clam chowder to be served.

We loved working with Amanda - she was professional and personable from the first e-mail correspondence through the release of our final album. We worked with AMP for a family session to capture images of our second newborn. Between a fussy baby and a stubborn 2 year old we definitely put her through her paces but she didn't miss a beat. I recommend Amanda to capture the special moments in your life, you won't regret it!

Amanda was a dream to work with. I highly recommend her for any type of photography work - children, families, weddings, creative, you name it. She is extremely talented and really took the time to consult with us before the shoot to understand our daughter and what we were hoping to capture. Amanda's consultative skills and creativity yielded exceptional results. Overall we had a fantastic experience and are thrilled with the photos.

Amanda is an amazing photographer and an even better person! She worked with me thoroughly and diligently to plan by engagement to my soon to be wife. The photos she took of us on our special day were candid and detailed. She is part of the reason my engagement was so special! I couldn’t have done this without her! She’s amazing!

In a word? Amazing. Good photographers figure out what works most of the time and get get great results. Great photographers, though? They adapt when the event doesn’t fit the mold. Amanda Macchia Photography fits into the latter category. Our wedding was not “cookie cutter,” what with different timetables and priorities, and throughout the entire planning process, we felt heard and accommodated. Amanda and her assistant were unobtrusive, punctual, anticipated needs we didn’t know we had. We were very happy with our end-product, with a turnaround that was quicker than industry standard. We would happily recommend Amanda Macchia Photography to anyone.

Amanda was the perfect photographer for our wedding. She was EXTREMELY accommodating and flexible with everything from our personalities and minor discomfort with all things traditional to navigating our wacky families, timing preferences, etc. She is just so easy to work with and could probably get along with anyone. Plus this is a one person operation so you're not paying a middle man, thus more affordable than other options we considered. In fact there are no men involved in this particular photography biz. So lady-owned, small business, she does a killer job, and she is a breeze to get along with (so important for what could become stressful time... like a wedding photo-shoot). My partner and I give Amanda all of the stars.

Amanda is a wonderful photographer! She is also personable, responsive and flexible. Despite my busy schedule she managed to figure out a way to take my daughter’s pictures by coming to my home. I’m very grateful for her kindness in going out of her way to work with me, and for snapping some beautiful memories of my daughter’s first Christmas at home.

Amanda was awesome every step of the way. We had a 200 person wedding in VT and Amanda plus her assistant Mike handled the crowd and got the shots! Our pictures turned out great. Amanda captured each moment of our wedding with a confident touch and deep empathy for what we wanted. I was especially thankful that she was a great communicator leading up to the event. She had a professional-yet-warm presence when talking through the day, and she made sure to answer our questions thoughtfully. Highly recommend!

Some people are naturals in front of the camera—I'm not one of them. So when I had to take some business headshots, I asked for the help of a professional photographer. Hiring Amanda was with no doubt the best choice I could ever make. She set up her mobile studio in my living room, which made myself super comfortable—I was literally feeling at home. Spending a few minutes before the shooting just hanging around and chatting made a big difference: Amanda understood what my needs were, and I managed to get a glimpse of her sunny personality. This made the whole experience feel less impersonal: it’s easy to be photographed by someone you have a connection with. When it came to shooting, Amanda did a first-class job: she got the perfect lighting, took dozens of pictures, and shared some tricks to look better on camera. She also did wonders in post-production — in record time. Thanks, Amanda!

Amanda was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was incredibly professional and on top of all things logistics! We had a 150-ish people wedding in the middle of the woods with only minor drama and Amanda rolled with all the punches!

She did a wonderful job of capturing all the love, colors, and beauty of our rustic, outdoor wedding in Vermont! Every moment I hoped to capture was in our gallery - very high quality and professional photos that I will cherish forever. Amanda is polite, cheerful, and a hard worker who is willing to roll with any wedding curve balls. It was true peace of mind to have her with us on our special day.

Our family is not the easiest to photograph because we just can't stand still! Despite that, Amanda captured so many gorgeous shots. I highly recommend to anyone looking for quality photos from an understanding and patient photographer!

We couldn’t be happier with our engagement and wedding photos! Amanda was the perfect fit to our small wedding group and got the best photos! Without a doubt will be using Amanda Macchia Photography for our future photography needs!

A wonderful photographer, gets inspired by the location instantly and makes you feel completely comfortable! Looking forward to working with her again.

We absolutely loved working with Amanda. She was extremely professional, so fun and light hearted, and captured our wedding better than we could have imagined. We were SO pleased with our wedding photo gallery and are so excited to share with our families. I highly, highly recommend using her for your wedding/engagement photos, and/or anything else you need professional photos for!
