...Let me CAPTURE
THEM FOR YOU.
Hi! I can't wait to connect with you two and hear about the vision of your elopement. My goal is to help you start to discover what's most important to you on your day and how to capture those moments for you!
Here are some the most important things we want to deliver for your elopement experience. To make that happen, you'll need a photographer who understands, hears you, and can capture what's most important to you two.
I understand you have just started finding the right person and figuring out the next steps for this special day. I would love to help you through this process. I took notes during our call and as you're reading I want you to remember how important it is to find a vendor who can help you get what you want and need for the Big Day - and all the days leading up to it. Continue down to learn more about how I can help you!

"It is hard to put into words how incredibly wonderful our experience was working with Amandrose. She is one of the warmest, most genuine people we've had the pleasure of knowing. She's more than a photographer – she has become a friend."

Hi!
Thanks for being here! A little about me and my business!
I've been in business since 2010 and originally from the East Coast. I've been living on the west coast for over 8 years and LOVE IT! I travel all over to photograph couples and I couldn't ask for a better job.
I believe my purpose is capturing special moments and documenting countless love stories. I do it for the feels, laughter, tears, first dances, and vow exchanges and private moments. As a Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur wedding photographer, I’d be honored to capture your love story no matter how big or small.

The goodies
"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!
