Amanda Alessi Photography

Where do we even begin with Amanda?Photography wise she is a rockstar - we never felt like we posed, we came out with some incredible images, she made myself and my camera-shy husband feel so so comfortable, she was a hype girl for myself and my bridesmaids and we had an absolute ball doing it all. I never knew having wedding photos taken could be so enjoyable. Amanda’s presence just added more fun and joy to our day.Not only are we thrilled with photos for the bride and groom but Amanda captured so many beautiful candid photos of our guests and family that I will cherish for the rest of my life.Not only this but she kept us to time the WHOLE day and was basically like having a wedding planner there (she even helped me attach my dads boutonniere!) not only did Amanda do her best to accommodate postponements (we initially made contact in 2019 and didn’t photograph our wedding until 2022) she even helped me work out the best way to find a new date to suit our other vendors too. We cannot recommend Amanda more highly.

I truly cannot recommend Amanda highly enough. Not only is she exceptionally skilled, but her warm personality shines so bright which made us feel at ease in the planning process and in front of the camera. Equal parts professional and fun, Amanda took such great care in making sure the most important aspects of our wedding day were captured. If you're after beautiful, vibrant photographs that will make you feel as if you're reliving that moment all over again, Amanda is the one for you.Also, she was so prepared! When the weather took a turn and initial plans had to be changed, she handled it with such grace and was able to wrangle everyone like it was nothing.We will be eternally grateful for Amanda's role in making our wedding day so special xx

THIS WOMAN HAS SERIOUS TALENT!We couldn't be happier with our choice to have Amanda capture our wedding day. We are completely in love with our photos and we couldn't be happier with how they captured how much fun we both had on the day. We seriously had trouble picking which ones we wanted to share on socials and put in our album because there were too many good ones to pick from!Amanda is a ray of sunshine and her relaxed, easy going energy is so infectious and she made the whole experience not only easy, but super fun. I'm normally really awkward in front of a camera but because she was such a pro and knew what she was doing she made me look and feel so relaxed. Also not super relevant but she has the best laugh ever. Amanda went above and beyond for us, scouting photo locations around our venue, organising a wet weather plan, meeting us for coffee numerous times to chat about our day, she even came to chat to our lighting guy to ensure we had the best lighting for our photos!! She also kept us on time the whole day, reminding us when things were happening which was so helpful - it was like having a wedding planner there!She is an incredible communicator and was incredibly responsive to all of our messages and questions - I must have been so annoying but she was super nice, professional and quick to get back to me. She gave us so many highlight photos the day after our wedding that we could share with our friends and families - most photographers only give you a few photos but she was super generous and clearly works so hard to be able to get plenty of highlight shots out to you by the next day.Also, can we talk about her albums ... if you're weighing up whether or not to get an album, this is your sign that you need to get one!! They are by far the best wedding albums we have seen on the market and the quality is unbeatable. She designed the whole thing and we worked together to choose our favourite images and textures and she made our dream album that we will keep forever.I couldn't recommend her more highly and you need to book her in!!

Amanda is an exceptionally talented photographer and was the dream vendor to work with for our wedding party. The whole experience with Amanda from the initial consultation, communication leading up to the day, the event itself and receiving the photos was phenomenal. She is a wizard behind the lens, unbelievablely patient and as an added bonus an absolute legend.We loved her work so much that we engaged her again to take newborn and family photos. We will forever cherish the memories she captured and she will be the first person we call to capture future family milestones.

Amanda is friendly, fun and takes fabulous photos! What more could you ask for. Such a dream working with her - laid back and relaxed to work with but totally present and engaged. Amanda even had her own portable speaker for music which came in handy when couple had a glitch with theirs (at their micro wedding). She captured such beautiful images for the couple. Highly recommend. x

All we can say is that we are so thankful we chose Amanda as our wedding photographer! We are absolutely in love with all our wedding photos! Amanda made us, our entire bridal party and our families feel so comfortable and at ease for the entire day. All our guests absolutely loved her! She was able to ensure we had enough time to get the family portraits we wanted but also able to get those amazing candid photos during the wedding reception! Our only issue is we can't choose which photos to frame as we LOVE THEM ALL! Thank you so much Amanda for capturing our special day! Will be recommending you to everyone!!

Amanda was incredible for our special day! She is a calm and warm energy to compliment the day perfectly. She understood the brief and our photos turned out better than we could've imagined. We're so grateful to have had her apart of our wedding and will forever hold the photos close to our heart. Thank you Amanda!

Amanda photographed our intimate micro-wedding at a Yarra Valley winery and she was a delight! She was so easy to work with before, during and after the day and we are so incredibly happy with the photos she took! She was very thoughtful and creative and had great ideas for memorable photos. She also made everyone feel very comfortable in front of the camera, so we have some beautiful (posed and candid) family photos!The quality of the photos she takes are amazing, and we highly recommend Amanda for any photo shoot you have!
