Orlando Weddings & Thematic Portraiture

Meet Manda

“Nostalgic. Off-the-beaten-path. Inclusive. Hand-made. Organic. Honest.”

In these words from those I’ve crafted for, this is the combined experience. It says a lot about me, which I heretofore channel unto You.

Celebration, FL based seasoned wedding and portrait photographer since 2008, I’m a lot different than most. Someone once told me “fantasy” and “photojournalism” are counterintuitive. To that I say, “Well, why?” It makes sense to those of us who live a total mix of imagination and authenticity. As much as I love conjuring magic, I also love the truest of moments which bring forth humanity — candid realism, stupidgenuinefacelaugh (and you’ll remember that joke forever), incorporating weird fusions of fandoms into a serious event… because that’s who we are. Portraits should never be superficial, because loving exactly who you are and what you’re about is empowering. 

It’s deeper than photography.

People who feel awkward being photographed are becoming empowered over here.

My mission is to help guide your individuality, enable you to express yourself fully, and love your unique portrait adventure along the way.

I’m a subtle geek, but when you pop that balloon it really explodes. Tempt me with wizardry, Halloween, science fiction, anything historically vintage… you’re bound to get more than you bargained for.

Honesty rocks. Five ways I’m completely transparent as your photographer:

1.  If you’re wacky or traditional, nerdy or not, black, white, rainbow or dragon… if you’re being yourselves, I accept you totally and encourage you recklessly.

2.  Pricing: $200 – 350 per hour (portraits – weddings). Scroll up and typewrite me to design your event.

3.  I ethically work to promote confidence and body positivity by dissuading the editing of bodies. You may make requests (some of which may be edited credibly), but know that I promote the bigger picture : Confidence, Truth.

4.  High res unmarked images — no limitations, all images edited!

5.  A book in the hand is worth a hundred pics on a cloud. No cloud of digital photos tells your story quite like a book. No obligations, but I get excited to become your personal archivist, and my unique books are, well… pretty different.
