AGS Photo Art, Carmel-By-The-Sea CA

Amandarose helped my fiancé plan my proposal and I just can't believe how beautiful it was! Amanda was simply so warm and understanding during one of the most amazing moments in my life. Through all of the emotions that came during this moment Amanda just made us feel even more calm and comfortable in front of the camera. She captured my most surprised reaction in such a beautiful way. She allowed us to be ourselves as she caught our natural moments overlooking the ocean. She also put so much planning and detail into assisting my fiancé in finding the most perfect spot. I will cherish these photos for a life time!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Amandarose and her team at AGS. We wanted a photography style that felt timeless, bright, and natural for our wedding, and most importantly, someone who could capture all the little genuine moments throughout the day. We also loved that she photographs in both digital + film.

We were introduced to Amandarose through our planner, Kaitlin. She made us feel comfortable right from the start. During our engagement shoot, we were both a little nervous and felt awkward at first, but Amandarose has a ton of experience and knows the right cues and vibe to keep couples feeling comfortable and excited.

During our wedding day, Amandarose and her team were incredibly supportive. They were our biggest cheerleaders and really felt like friends that we had alongside us the entire day. They were also incredibly kind to our guests. We were especially pleased with how her team interacted with our shy flower girl & ring bearer, who absolutely loved her team and as a result, we were able to get tons of adorable pictures of them.

We have so many photos that we love from our wedding, and really feel like Amandarose was able to capture the feeling and experience of our day from start to finish.

After the wedding, we had a call with Amandarose to design an album of our favorite photos. She did an incredible job in preparing a draft of the album and we spent a couple of hours fine-tuning the design and getting it just perfect. We are so excited to have this as our first family heirloom and pass it down for generations to come.

If you're looking for a photographer who captures authentic moments and feelings & feels like a supportive friend cheering you and your loved ones on, look no further than Amandarose!

Seriously, look no further. I can't recommend a photographer more highly than I would AGS Photo Art! Amandarose herself is amazing to work with - from day one of even 'courting' her as our future wedding photographer, she was so thorough in her details with us which helped me feel insanely comfortable knowing I wouldn't have to be the type A bride I fully know that I am with one of my most important vendors - she has it handled and I don't have to worry about her at all.

Outside of the business side of things, her personality immediately put my fiance and I (both self-proclaimedly awkward) at ease. She is so easygoing and relaxed and is able to make the mood where she is feel the same way. Neither of us had ever been professionally photographed up until our engagement shoot, but yet somehow she was able to get us to be ourselves and captured our love so beautifully without us feeling like a lick of effort was involved on our part.

I got to this point in the review and haven't even talked about her photography really. I mean. COME ON. I'll let the pictures I've attached to this review speak for themselves, but needless to say, talent is abundent here on her part. She is truly the best in the business in my opinion.

Cannot WAIT for our wedding in 2024 with Amandarose and team!

Amandarose was our wedding and engagement photographer and we were blown away by both by the outcome and the process of working with her. We were looking for a wedding photographer who could tell the story of our day, capturing both documentary style and more traditional photos. She excels at both. We love how she incorporates digital and film while keeping the same feel between the two mediums.

I would encourage anyone looking for a photographer to find someone you enjoy spending time with - between her trip to Texas for our engagement shoot to the whole wedding weekend, we spent a lot of time with Amandarose and thoroughly every minute of it.

Three months after the wedding, we still look through our pictures almost daily

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience with Kristin and Amandarose. Kristin took amazing photos that we have been able to share with friends and family who weren’t with us during our proposal. I’d highly recommend both of them for anyone looking for surprise proposal photograph!

I never thought that I would be so comfortable and have so much fun doing a boudoir photoshoot! Amandarose made the whole process simple - from our first phone call, to the day of the shoot, to reviewing photos and ordering products! She was so flexible with scheduling and kept checking to make sure we were on track with my ideal timeline. The day of the shoot was perfect - it’s always fun to have your hair and make up done! Taking the photos wasn’t awkward or weird, it was fun and I felt seriously more confident and sexy! I had a great experience and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about taking boudoir photos for themselves or a partner!

We had an incredible experience. From the first call through the entire proposal shoot everything was well thought out and very personal. The photos turned out amazing, and turned our dream day into forever memories. Her work was extremely detailed and we felt so comfortable shooting. Highly recommend!

Amandarose created an incredible experience capturing engagement photos for my fiancé and I in Carmel. We had already gotten engaged, but were looking for photos for save the dates, wedding invites, etc.

She was by far the most responsive photographer that I had contacted in the area while trying to book the shoot. Her online portal made it super easy to get the process started – including a consultation call, where she gained an understanding of our needs and helped us choose the right offering. In addition, Amandarose was super diligent in her preparation, conducting multiple conversations on our time (Eastern time zone) over the phone with us in advance to develop a plan for the shoot.

We were relatively new to taking professional photos, but Amandarose directed us with a laid-back attitude that alleviated any nerves. At the same time, she demonstrated a high level of expertise, providing clear instruction for posing, while also giving us room for improvisation, resulting in photos with a natural, high-quality candid feel. The shoot was a great time and one of the highlights of our west-coast trip – and that showed in the end product.

She also coordinated logistics so we could make the most of our time and Carmel’s scenery. We found many cool spots around town that we hadn’t yet discovered in our couple-day visit that made for some great backdrops. She followed through on our planning call, giving us shots not only around town but also at Pebble Beach. Considering outfit and background changes, it honestly felt like we got three shoots in one.

We also appreciated Amandarose’s timely follow up at all stages of the process. In just a few days after the shoot, we saw a preview of our photos and are very pleased with the results. My fiancé and I would definitely recommend AGS Photo art to anyone looking for a photographer to capture any sort of special event.

I was looking for proposal photographers and could not be happier I found Amandarose. She is local to the area and helped talk me through not only the best locations to propose, but she also even talked strategy with me and suggested the best times to propose where the lighting would be ideal. Amandarose was super communicative leading up to the proposal and helped ease my nerves (as much as possible!) leading up to the actual proposal. The photos turned out AMAZING, and my fiancée and I both love them, including of the proposal itself and the shoot we did after. We’re so happy to have these photos to remember the special day!

Amazing experience working with Amandarose. She helped me with picking the right location according to our needs and was professional throughout the whole process.

Amanda was absolutely incredible to work with, from beginning to end. She was so easy to chat with over the phone and email and had so many great recommendations for things to do and places to stay in the area. She helped formulate our whole trip! She helped scout the perfect spot along Pebble Beach and we coordinated the timing perfectly. She captured the moment beautifully and then had a wonderful session with us and took some of our favorite photos ever of us as a couple! I’m not the best photo poser but everything felt so natural and fun! We got to enjoy every moment and then Amanda was kind enough to drive us to our dinner reservation! She had sneak peaks ready for us the next day and then had our gallery less than two weeks later! We love reliving the moment over and over again through Amanda’s incredible work. Thank you for capturing this time in our lives.

Amanda did an amazing job capturing our engagement. She made us feel comfortable and helped direct my fiance about the area prior to the engagement as we are not from the area. Photos were fantastic!

Amanda basically took the reins for me here. I planned the proposal (called her), and she did the rest. From heading over to the venue and developing a plan, to coordinating with the venue, it was absolutely a stress free experience for me.

Price is very reasonable. Turnaround time for the sneak peak was VERY fast as we had the photos that night.

Amanda was great. Highly recommend!

A true professional! Amandarose helped me create a unique surprise proposal experience that me and my now fiancée loved. I was nervous when it came time to decide who to book to shoot this surprise proposal but seeing the work of AGS Photo Art on the internet and the MULTIPLE years of experience that Amandarose has capturing not only proposals but also other events made it a no brainer to go with her. She was very responsive to my inquiries and from our first conversation she gave me the confidence as a consumer that the vision I had for this surprise proposal could be achieved without a hitch. Fast forward to the proposal and it went great and Amandarose was timely, professional, and patient. Me and my fianceee are by no means models and this was our first photoshoot done by a professional. Amanda rose guided us through posing and made us feel comfortable and natural. The photos got back to us ahead of schedule and I couldn’t be happier about how they turned out! I can’t speak more highly about AGS Photo Art and the professionalism that they have to offer. Anyone considering having a pivotal moment in their life captured in a way that each picture will tell 1,000 words should without a doubt book with AGS Photo Art.

Amandarose is FANTASTIC! We are so thrilled with how our photos turned out. We chose Amandarose because we thought she had the most artistic eye, and we were right! Amandarose worked with us to get optimal lighting at our venue and golden hour lighting for our photos at Carmel River State Beach. On the day of the wedding, Amandarose directed us and and our guests with grace, ease, and professionalism. Her photos captured the heart of our wedding.

Thank you so much Amandarose for photographing these special moments we can now treasure forever! Please do not hesitate to use Amandarose as your photographer!
