About Amanda May Photos

Amanda

Owner & Photographer

I could give you my spill about how I started shooting with a film Minolta in middle school and that it tugged my heart so deeply I never set the camera down. But I would rather share with you what I love. What I enjoy. What I'm about. I have a passionate soul. I get way too excited too easily. I smile at just about anything. I'm terrible with names. I'm a retired certified public accountant. I'm allergic to dogs. I own WAY too many shoes. I want a tattoo of a vintage camera. I love what I do so much it takes my breath away. This is me. The real me. Not the "fake, I hope I sold you" me. Now let's see if we can make this thing work.

I catch myself so many times wishing life away and I have to force myself to stop. Take it all in. To not lose site of the little things that make this life worth living. That's why I love photography. Because those little things that you never want to forget become a permanent memory. You know what happens when you look at a photograph? Your mind is immediately reminded of the moments that happened before and after that snapshot along with the emotions you were feeling. That one photograph preserves that moment forever.

Amanda May Photography Review

Hiring Amanda was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s photographed so many weddings and came highly recommended by several of my friends, so I already knew she would be amazing. Even though this was her first destination wedding, I never had a single doubt that she would do anything short of incredible — and she absolutely proved that right. From the sneak peeks alone, we are already blown away. The photos feel natural, emotional, and so us. She captured the energy of Cancun, the softness of the beach, and the joy of the day in a way that feels effortless. If this is just a glimpse, I cannot wait to see our full gallery. Beyond her talent, Amanda was such a calming, positive presence to have around. Destination weddings can feel overwhelming, but she made everything feel easy and fun. You can tell she genuinely cares — not just about getting beautiful shots, but about the experience as a whole. My husband and I both keep saying how badly we wish we could relive that day — it went by so fast and meant so much to us. And the most special part is knowing that through Amanda’s photos, we get to. She has a way of capturing moments in a way that brings you right back to how it felt, not just how it looked. That’s something we’ll treasure forever. I also loved that she was able to turn this into a meaningful trip for her own family. There’s something really special about someone who gets to travel to new places, create art, and give their family new experiences along the way. It made it feel even more intentional and personal. We are so grateful she was part of our day and would recommend her to anyone — especially if you’re considering a destination wedding. She truly made the experience unforgettable.

I am so beyond thankful to you for asking me to come to Mexico with you guys and being absolutely so amazing to work with. For trusting my vision. You guys are so magical together. It's truly so clear that you were made for one another. Your kindness is genuine and it was such an honor to photograph your wedding day.

And I will never get over what an amazing vendor team you put together! Truly, so thankful for you guys and I cannot wait to show you the rest of your gallery!!!
Best photographer ever!

I am beyond grateful that we chose Amanda May Photography for our wedding day. Amanda goes so far beyond just taking beautiful photos — she was truly one of the most fun, joyful, and kind vendors we worked with. She listened carefully to what we wanted, helped us build an amazing and realistic timeline, and kept everything running smoothly while staying incredibly professional. She even bustled my dress before the reception, which says everything about how much she genuinely cares. On top of all that, she surprised us with sneak peek photos between the ceremony and reception, which was unreal. Your photographer is the most important vendor on your wedding day, and Amanda was worth every single bit — I can’t recommend her enough.

Amanda hosted a photoshoot with us prior to our wedding, and she made it unbelievably comfortable. It was a new location for her, and I personally was worried it wouldn't be spacious enough, but Amanda made some absolute amazing photos. The composition, the editing, she killed it. And of course, I wanted these photos to be just right to print for a photo book - and she stayed incredibly patient as I fumbled around my photo selections until they were organized just the way I wanted. When it came to the wedding, she was already prepared for a changing timeline, animals, and all the details. She made sure to capture the handful of specific photos I wanted to recreate and used her creativity to capture the rest of a beautiful wedding day! She even got sneak peak photos completed while she ate her dinner at the wedding - who does that?! Her professionalism and kindness it top of the line!

Oh my goodness, thank you SO much for taking the time to write this! Working with you both—from that first session in the new space all the way through your wedding day—was genuinely such a joy. I remember walking into your pre-wedding session and immediately thinking, “We’re going to make magic here,” and you two proved that right. Thank you for trusting me in a location that was new for all of us! And I seriously loved watching you pick out your favorites for your photo book—your excitement made the whole process feel even more special. Your attention to detail was one of the reasons your final book turned out so beautifully. Your wedding day was one I’ll never forget. You were so calm, so welcoming, and so ready to soak it all in. The animals, the shifting timeline, the sweet recreations you requested—I loved every minute of it. Getting those sneak peeks edited for you during dinner felt like the perfect way to wrap up the day with a big, happy bow. Thank you again for your incredibly kind words. It means the world to me. I’m truly honored that I got to be a part of such a beautiful chapter in your lives.

Abagail! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! It truly means the world and honestly, I absolutely loved being a part of your day. One thing I loved so much were your excitement and reaction for every little thing. From your flatlay sneak peak to seeing your bouquet for the first time to seeing your reception set up to seeing Hunter for the first time... it was all SO precious. Then watching how much he lit up when he was with you is an all time favorite for me. It was so apparent how much you are his person and he is yours. Thank you for letting me in on these sweet moments and this perfect day!
