We booked Amandarose for our Big Sur engagement shoot and she went above and beyond at every turn. Our photos turned out beautifully and I was so appreciative of her kindness and consideration throughout the entire process. She was a true professional in guiding us through the shoot and I hope that I have the chance to work with her again in the future. More...

Amandarose did my proposal photoshoot @the Carmel Valley Ranch. It turned out to be perfect because her studio happened to be right across the street from the Ranch. She was super friendly and easy to work with. She was very familiar with the ranch so she knew all the hot spots and drove us everywhere to capture beautiful pics. This was our first photoshoot and she made it really natural and comfortable for us. We even had two little doggies with us and she managed them while capturing lovely pics- she was a super woman that day for us. Really appreciate her friendliness, and natural ability to connect with people. We highly recommend her services! More...

We worked with Amandarose for our wedding and she was seriously perfect in every way. We were planning our small Carmel wedding from NYC but she made it seamless by sending us information over email and scheduling phone calls so we were ready when the big day came. Not only was she super organized and friendly, the best part was how experienced she was during the wedding day. She easily directed many people and made us laugh and feel comfortable when we did the intimate couples shoot. Afterward, the photos were as gorgeous as we hoped even considering some were shot in really bright sunlight. If you're reading this review, your search is over - book AGS Photo Art! More...

It is hard to put into words how incredibly wonderful our experience was working with Amandrose at AGS. We booked her through friends who just adored working with her, and after our experience with her, I must say that we absolutely adore her as well. First and foremost, she is one of the warmest, most genuine people we've had the pleasure of knowing. She's more than a photographer – she has become a friend. She’s a great communicator, always goes the extra mile for you, and genuinely cares about the end result (photos) but also your entire experience working with her from start to finish.We worked with her on our engagement photo shoot, throughout the months leading up to our wedding, and again on our big day. She helped us create a vision, outline the type of photos we wanted, and was always there to answer questions to make sure we felt comfortable with everything.Her talent is boundless; she’s able to find the perfect moments, angles and shots that wow’ed absolutely everyone who has seen our photos. Her charm, graciousness, and experience made us feel incredibly comfortable during all photo sessions, despite the fact that neither of us had spent much time in front of a camera. She captured every moment, every perspective; using light, shadows and other elements to breathe life into every picture.if we had to go back and do it all again, we would book her again in an instant. Amandarose exceeded our expectations and really was one of the best investments we made for our wedding. The day went by so fast, but she captured the moments to make it last forever. More...

Amandarose was fabulous for our wedding day photography. She captured all the details, important people, portraits, special moments and overall story of the day so beautifully. One of the best things about working w/ Amandarose is how comfortable she makes you feel! Since it is your wedding day and there are a number of intimate shots (ex: first look), you want a photographer who celebrates these moments with you but also makes you forget you are even being photographed to get the real-deal. That blend is SO key for wedding day and Amandarose really nails that aspect. We felt so at ease working with her, her communication style and positivity just made that day so much better. We are thrilled with the end result of the pictures to showcase our most special memories and we can't recommend working with Amandarose enough! More...

We booked our engagement and wedding photos with Amanda after spending an afternoon in her studio looking over her portfolio and getting to know her. Amanda was always available for any questions, concerns , and there to calm my pre wedding jitters about missing any of those important little details. Posing for photos can feel a little awkward at first to get that perfect shot, but Amanda puts you at ease showing you how to make it look natural and makes it fun at the same time. By the time our wedding date arrived , it felt like we had known Amanda for years ( and we were professional posers at that point thanks to Amanda's expertise). We highly recommend AGS Photo Art to any couple looking for a fun, laid back, detail oriented and brilliant photographer. Amanda gets all the shots you ask for and the shots you didn't even know you needed. For the brides to be- book Amanda if you want someone who can capture who you are not only your wedding day, but every day. More...

Amandarose was amazing to work with! My fiance booked her to take photos of our proposal. She captured all of our joy and excitement from that moment and helped us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. The weather wasn't ideal that day so my fiance and Amandarose had to change up the location last minute. She was so helpful in scouting out a new location and put his nerves at ease. The photos came out beautifully and are such a joy to look at and help us remember that moment. We highly recommend working with AGS Photo Art!! More...

Amanda is simply the best! Capturing our most special moments and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She was available for all questions, concerns and calming any of our pre-wedding jitters about making sure to capture the small details. Amanda puts you at ease and makes you feel like you've known her a lifetime. I wouldn't trust anyone else to capture one of the most important days of my life. She made sure every single photo was a reflection of who we are as a couple. AGS photo art comes highly recommended for any bride to be! More...

Amandarose is an excellent photographer with a keen eye. She was very detail-oriented, made sure to cover all the bases, and asked us about a lot of things that hadn't occurred to us. She took time to make sure she knew what we wanted in our wedding, and what we wanted the photos to look like.

Amandarose did a great job with our 30 min session we booked with her. I contacted several photographers to get some headshots taken and she was the only one who replied quickly-only a couple days. The others I never heard back from or they responded a few weeks later. The studio pictures turned out beautifully and she even took an extra picture for us at the end that wasn't stipulated in the contract that turned out to be our favorite. She was great at answering all my questions, even during her busy wedding season she always got back to me. We are booking a family photo session because we liked the way the pictures turned out so much! More...

We love Amandarose! My husband and I got married last month and were introduced to Amandarose through our local wedding planner in Carmel. As someone not quite comfortable in front of the camera, she made it super fun, relaxed and stress free (much appreciated on the wedding day especially)! She worked quickly to get pictures of our large family and nearly 200 person wedding. We loved working with her so much in our engagement shoot that we hired her for our rehearsal dinner as well! Our photos came out beautiful and she was a pleasure to have at all of our big events to capture the memories of a lifetime! We highly recommend AGS photo! More...

Amandarose is fantastic. I recently had a family session with her and I am so happy with the photos. She went above and beyond to get my one year old daughter to smile and cooperate for the photos (which trust me isn't easy). As a wedding planner in Monterey I am so glad that I got to experience a session with Amandarose for myself because I would absolutely recommend her to couples for their wedding day. She is warm, friendly, responsive, and extremely talented. She is a great photographer in the Carmel, Monterey, Pebble Beach area and is great for both Family photos as well as wedding photography! You will not be disappointed! More...

My fiancé and I loved having this group as our photographers, especially Amanda who did both of our sessions (proposal and engagement pictures)! Amanda knew exactly how to pose us and listened to us about certain things we specifically wanted, plus she was fun to be around! When the pictures came out they were better than we could have imagined! Thank you to the AGS team for capturing and helping making two important days so special! We’ll definitely be using Amanda and her team for more shoots:) More...

AGS Photo Art is such a great group of photographers. I had the pleasure of working with both Amandarose and Genevieve and they were both extremely professional and accommodating. We asked Genevieve to attend a spartan race with us to help take photos and the pictures came out so well! She was able to capture a lot of action shots as well a beautiful group shots.My expectations weren't very high because photographers often struggle to capture photos of such a large race without having people stationed out in different areas, but she was able to do it all!I definitely will be using them again. Do keep in mind that it takes them about a week and a half to process photos so if you need them at an expedited rate, you may want to talk it out beforehand. More...

Amandarose and Justin are THE best! I originally found Amandarose on Instagram and loved her photos! I'm probably missing out on all the technical terms, but her photos capture this beautiful natural light and make everything classic, lovely, and the style is so perfect for California, especially Monterey. I felt so comfortable and excited about our wedding around her - she did our engagement, Indian pre-wedding celebration (Sangeet), my boudoir photos, and our wedding day, and she was by far our favorite person to work with! I really can't say enough great things about her! I feel like her pricing is so reasonable for the quality of her work, and if we did it all over again I would choose her a million times over. Thank you for everything Amandarose! You're simply the best!!! More...

There is not much to be said other than, absolutely book Amandarose! From the very first meeting over tacos and Coronas, we knew that she was going to be our photographer.
Her personal touches shone through every time we met or spoke with her via phone, email or in-person. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she was 3 steps ahead of us when it came to making sure she captured our day.
Even before the wedding, she came to meet us (way out of her way) to do our engagement photos which was not an easy spot to get to. Right away, she jumped in and made us feel extremely comfortable with being photographed. Which, unless you're a model, is not something you expect to be strange at first. Amandarose made it as easy as it possibly could be.
She was confident and knew how to run the show, but not pushy or overbearing. She was always directing traffic with a beaming smile, making sure that everyone involved felt comfortable.
As the bride, she felt like a friend and someone that I could actually talk to. I loved having her in the room with me on the wedding day and true to form, made me feel special and beautiful.
If you're looking at other photographers, don't. Amandarose should be your choice!

Amanda is wonderful to work with! She was quick and efficient when responding to emails to set up meeting times. She brought in multiple lights, lenses and accessories to help her achieve the best photos. My favorite part of working with her was how much guidance she gave when posting you. You can tell she really wants you to look good! She would come and fix strands of hair and not just rely on being able to edit it out later which I think is the mark of a true photographer!
