About Portraits By Mandy

Portraits By Mandy

Owner + Lead Photographer

Hi, I’m Mandy! Planning your wedding is such an exciting season—but it can feel a little overwhelming, too. One thing you know for sure? You want your love story captured in a way that’s timeless, joyful, and true to you. I specialize in clean, vibrant, romantic wedding photography for couples who value artful storytelling and a genuine connection. With over a decade of experience, I’ll document everything from quiet moments to dance floor joy, creating heirloom-worthy images that bring you back to the laughter, the happy tears, and the love that started it all. I can't wait to get to know you and your love story!

Choosing a photographer can be tough. My photography style has been described as modern, rich, vibrant, colorful and yet authentic and timeless. My goal is to tell your unique story and capture your moments and memories as they are, but give them a little pop. It's important to find someone you're comfortable with so your personality can shine through your portraits. I want to not only create beautiful and timeless images you will cherish for years to come, but to also have a great time!

    Portraits by Mandy is the best!!!!

    I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! We had a flawless experience working with Portraits by Mandy. From the time we started working together, Mandy was kind, responsive, and helpful in ways that I could not have anticipated. When we had our engagement photo session, Mandy made a true effort to get to know us and helped us not feel so camera shy. We left the session feeling like we had made a new friend! Mandy delivered our sneak peeks the next morning and they were beautiful. Come wedding day, I was extra grateful to have had Mandy around. Mandy was not just our photographer that day. She stepped in for tasks that she didn’t have to do, but she did out of the kindness of her heart. She helped bustle my dress (more than once), pinned boutonnières, kept us on our timeline, and I’m sure many other things that I didn’t hear of. We received our wedding gallery this morning, and we are over the moon with the results. Mandy’s photos speak for themselves, and working with her is just as amazing. I am forever grateful! I recommend Portraits by Mandy to anyone. We will definitely be back for photos in the future! Thank you, Mandy!!!

    Elegance and Professionalism

    Mandy is the most incredible photographer. She helped us coordinate our schedule, pick locations, and provided helpful ideas to make even more memorable moments. She really understood the vision we had and helped create the elegant and timeless wedding that we wanted documented in our photos. I loved working with her so much we have hired her 10 additional times to document our lives since marriage (and will continue to hire her in years to come). She has always been so professional and kind - basically has become an extension of our family documenting every important moment.

    Engagement, Wedding, Maternity - choose Mandy!

    Portraits By Mandy was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Mandy's communication style was proactive, friendly, honest, and easygoing, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. Her experience, proficiency, and creative eye resulted in photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. Mandy was always in the right place at the right time, capturing special moments like my grandpa tenderly telling my husband to take care of me, and my husband reading the heartfelt note cards I had left for him that morning. If you're looking for a photographer who will build a lasting relationship with you as your marriage and family grows, Mandy is the perfect choice. Her work is worth every penny and you won’t regret choosing her for your wedding & future milestones!

    Can't believe this was 8 years ago! So glad I've been able to capture your growing family ever since. :)

    Look no further!

    I highly recommend working with Mandy for your wedding. She has been doing photo shoots for my family for years and I have always been impressed with her ability to perfectly capture each moment. Getting photos done and being the center of attention can be kind of awkward but Mandy does a great job directing everyone and helping you feel natural and comfortable. And while most photographers take months to get your completed photos to you, Mandy had our wedding photos back to us before we got back from our honeymoon!

    Love being your photographer for life!

Typically, couples book me 12-18 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
My 8 hour package includes a second photographer. Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer more extensive retouching services for an additional charge.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. But I know several awesome videographers that I love to refer to my couples.
My turnaround time varies by season, but you won't have to wait long to see a sneak peek! Within a few days, I will post a gorgeous blog post featuring 50-100 of my favorite images from your wedding day. Typically, you’ll be able to view your entire gallery photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding.
I don't guarantee a set number of images, but typically you can expect around 50 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors such as your decision to have a first look.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In my 10 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the extremely rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my trusted colleagues and/or my contracted assistant. Your photos would still be edited by me so that they match the style you hired me for.
You’re getting so much more than a vendor with a nice camera. You’re getting all my knowledge and expertise! Upon booking, you receive access to my online guide full of tips, tricks, info, timeline advice, help with engagement session outfits and portrait locations, & vendor recommendations to help you with wedding planning & to maximize your investment in your wedding photos.
