Grain and Glow Collective

I’m Amanda — a wedding and portrait photographer based in Indiana with a heart for real moments and timeless imagery. I believe the most meaningful photos aren’t stiff or over-posed, but honest, emotional, and full of life. My style blends warm, true-to-color tones with gentle guidance so you can relax, be present, and actually enjoy your day. From quiet, in-between moments to joyful celebrations, I document your story in a way that feels natural, heartfelt, and lasting. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me chasing sunsets, loving on my family, and finding beauty in the everyday — which is exactly how I approach every wedding.

I don’t just show up with a camera — I show up with intention. I take the time to truly know my couples, their story, and what matters most to them. That connection allows me to anticipate moments before they happen and capture images that feel deeply personal, not generic. On your wedding day, I’m a calm presence, a gentle guide, and an extra set of hands when needed — helping timelines flow smoothly while never pulling you out of the moment. I’ll guide you when direction is helpful and step back when real life is unfolding beautifully on its own.
