storytelling
rooted in truth

Your photos hold your memories. And the most meaningful ones? Theyโ€™re the moments you never planned, and never want to forget.

I document your most sacred relationships with intention.

While I bring an artistโ€™s eye to every frame, my approach is rooted in documentary storytelling. The result is imagery that feels honest, evocative, and true to you โ€“ photos that boldly celebrate your life and love as they really are.

You stay rooted in the moment. Iโ€™ll preserve the magic, so you can relive it again and again.

โ€œWhen searching for a wedding photographer, finding someone with experience photographing queer couples was our highest priority. Amanda not only has that but they specialize in it! We could not have chosen someone better to do our engagement and wedding photos. Besides the photos coming out amazing, Amanda and Mike made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera and their positive and fun energy definitely helped the day feel more special despite having lots of rain!โ€

โ€œIf I could give Amanda a 10 out of 5, I would! Between the natural raw talent of photography that Amanda has coupled with the professionalism, composure, and friendliness I experienced - I could not recommend Amanda Macchia Photography more. You can not find a more inclusive, fun, and radiant human being to help you document the big moments in life.โ€
