romantic, joyful wedding photography with heart and imagination

Based in Frederick, Maryland and photographing weddings throughout Maryland, DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and beyond, I’m here for the couples who want beautiful photographs but also want to actually enjoy their wedding day.

You should get to laugh with your friends. Get a little emotional. Sneak away for five minutes together. Dance way too hard. Let your grandmother hug you for the tenth time.

And somewhere in all of that, I’ll be there with my camera.

Not just the pretty parts. The way your dad looks at you when he sees you for the first time. Your best friend losing her mind on the dance floor. The ridiculous little thing your fiancé does that makes you laugh every single time.

The moments you planned for, the moments you didn't, and the ones you didn't even realize were happening until you see them later.

That's the stuff I want to find for you.

"Our wedding pictures are absolutely amazing. Our family and friends were absolutely shocked with how great they turned out. We really enjoyed the entire process and experience with Amanda. From the engagement shoot to the wedding, the process was stress free and fun! It was great to know that we didn't have to stress about the quality of our pictures. She is an incredible photographer and we look forward to seeing future work too!"- Nathalie & Bobby

"Amanda is absolutely incredible! Her photos are pieces of art and she always has amazing ideas ! She goes above and beyond to get a good picture but without any stress. We are beyond happy with our engagement and wedding photos at Gramercy Mansion! If you are looking for a photographer, no need to look any further, Amanda is amazing!"

"Amanda is such an amazing person to work with. She handled all the paper work for the photographer permits so we didn't have to do anything but enjoy our experience! She is warm and delightful and very good at eyeing positions and shots. We have beautiful engagement photos and had so much fun doing it."
-Lily

"We had such a fun time with Amanda as our photographer! She is very sweet and shares a very helpful guide full of advice for you to review before your photos. On top of that, she captures stunning, dreamy photos that are easy to download/share with family."

"If you're stressed out with wedding planning and need someone to just take the lead on scouting the area for a photo site, Amanda MacPhee Studios is your champion. Amanda completely understood the idea we had for "day before" and "day of" photos without needing much input from us, and then she took the execution into her own hands so we (the couple) did not have to worry about it. She was very good at adapting and making things work when our wedding plans changed right at the last minute (they always do). Two thumbs up!!"

"Professional and creative are two words that come to mind! I was beyond thrilled with my wedding photos. She took into great consideration our ideas and even used her own creativity to inspire and set the scene for our beautiful pictures." -Amber

"Amanda is a great photographer with a lot of creativity. She responded quickly and coordinated with me every step of the way. During what can be a very hectic and stressful time, Amanda made it fun!" -Mary Kate

"We had our wedding at District Winery in DC and Amanda was the absolute best from the planning process to the final day. We can’t say enough positive things about her and the final product."

" Amanda was truly interested in telling our wedding story and learning about us personally in order to capture our wedding." -Bobbi

Your Photography Experience

We'll talk through what matters to you, what you want photographed, and how it all fits into your day. I'll help you think through the details so you don't have to figure everything out on your own.

1. planning with intention

I'm going to ask questions.
I'll offer ideas, help you think through your options, and tell you honestly when I think something could make your day easier or your photographs better.

You get to make the decisions. I'm here to help you feel good about them.

2. thoughtful guidance along the way

Your job is to be married, hug your people, eat the cake, and have a really good time.
I'll give you direction when you need it, step back when you don't, and be ready when the plan inevitably changes.

Because it probably will.

3. a wedding day you can fully experience

Before I photograph your wedding, I want to know you.

How you met. What makes you laugh. What you're ridiculously excited about. What you're absolutely not doing because it just isn't you. 

The more I know about you, the better I can recognize the moments that are going to matter.
