About Amanda Joy Photography
Amanda Layell
I am passionate about capturing the real, raw moments of this beautiful life. Time flies by and it is so, so important we live in the moment, but also capture some snippets for our keepsakes! Photos bring our memories to life, so whether it’s an engagement session or your wedding day, I am right there to make sure you remember all the little details and all the big moments! I am a coffee obsessed dog mama, wife, and sunset chaser! I LIVE for golden hour and love letting the sun work it's magic in your photos! While I love that glow, I have shot in many different lighting, weather, and locations to ensure we create magic even without the sun!
I strive to ensure you are relaxed, having fun, and don’t even remember you’re in front of the camera! While I am super comfortable with posing my couples, and will do so, I want to make sure you have some fun and we capture raw moments of you both together being - YOU! We may get goofy, and we may get a little more mushy, but the outcome of those photos will leave you feeling as if you were still in that moment! Your photos should tell the story of your love, and I will make sure when you look back on your day, you feel it all over again!

Book Amanda ASAP
Amanda is by far the best photographer I’ve worked with. She and her co shooter Renee are so personable and will put endless effort into making your day perfect. My videographer was late for my first look/ vows. Amanda didn’t hesitate to make sure she got photos, but also recorded it so we’d still be able to have footage. The whole day she went above and beyond to make sure we were getting all the photos we wanted, making sure the groom and I were eating and comfortable, she even jumped on the dance floor to get people dancing and keep the energy high! She got preview photos to me 3 days after the wedding. The preview was huge and amazing. If Amanda is available on your wedding day book her ASAP!!
Fantastic Work
Amanda did our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. We were coming from out of state so there was a lot of communication happening. Amanda wasn't available for our wedding date, but she did have other photographers who took the pictures for her and then she did the editing herself We love the pictures we have gotten so far and are so thankful that Amanda worked with us!
Bride
I’m writing this the day after our wedding. When I say Amanda made our night… we could not have done it without her!!!! She was extremely responsive throughout planning. Swapped out our included engagement session to come to the rehearsal dinner instead. Met all our family and feels like our family!!! She immediately fit in with everyone and she just has that special something that made everything vibe and go smoothly. From driving me and my girls to the venue, grabbing us our drinks when we were at our sweetheart table, checking in on us and filling in when some of our other vendors were slacking. She is THE BEST!!!!! We feel so lucky to have found her!
The Best Around!
Amanda is absolutely amazing to work with! From the moment my husband and I met her, we fell in love. Not only is she extremely talented at what she does, but she’s also so personable and makes you feel comfortable shooting with her. We’ve done an engagement session, a bridal session, and our wedding with Amanda and every time she continues to amaze us with her pictures. She’s always been open to inspiration pictures and ensures you have all the shots you want before you leave the session. She was especially great on our wedding day. As a bride, it can become very overwhelming on your big day, but Amanda makes you feel like you always have somebody in your corner looking out for you. We simply cannot recommend her enough and will continue to use her for all of our photography needs!
