I was beyond impressed with Amanda as our photographer and she exceeded all my expectations. Not only did she capture the beauty of our wedding (amazing photos of everything including all the small details that went into creating our wedding), but she captured the essence as well. I see the love and excitement that I share with my SO and our loved ones that were there to celebrate with us. I know these are the pictures that I'm going to be proud to share in 10, 20, and 30 years. I also never thought about how much your photographer is by your side on your wedding day, but I'm so glad it was Amanda. At times it was just me and her and she was quick to share whatever words I needed in that moment whether it was encouragement when I was anxious, or excitement during the celebration. I am so grateful to Amanda for everything she did for us. 10/10 recommend her to be your photographer.

We are so thankful to have Amanda photograph our wedding day at The Trillium. We are from out of state so almost every step of wedding planning occurred over Zoom/email. Amanda was truly amazing throughout every step of the wedding planning process. She was a gem during our engagement session and exceeded our expectations even more on wedding day. I asked her so many questions leading up to the day and she always provided an answer! She truly cared and gave her professional opinion when needed. Amanda and her second shooter captured every single moment we could have hoped for. I cannot recommend Amanda enough for future couples, she is amazing at what she does Our wedding photos capture authentic moments (that don’t feel staged) and show the happiness we felt on the day. I look at our wedding photos and smile because it takes me right back to that moment of the day. Again, I truly appreciate Amanda being so kind and thoughtful to us on our wedding day! I’m so excited for what’s to come with her and wish her nothing but the best with her future couples.

I cannot recommend booking Within the Pines enough!! She captured my wedding day so beautifully. The photos are amazing & I truly feel she captured the essence of the day. I look at them & I can feel the day all over again. The details, the angles, the edits. All of it! She is also so incredible to work with! Everyone in the wedding party mentioned how cool & nice Amanda and the second photographer were hahaha!

Amanda was the perfect wedding photographer!! She was so efficient and wanted every detail to be perfect which I admired so much. Not only is she super sweet but very professional and knows exactly what she’s doing. If you feel uncomfortable and awkward taking pictures, she will guide you to look your best!! I didn’t feel stressed during our wedding because I trusted that she was going to get everything, and she did!! You can tell she really cares about her clients and only wants to give them the best of her work. She shot 3 different shoots for me/us and each time, the pictures were stunning. We are so happy we chose her and we’re so happy to have these pictures forever!! Thank you a million times amanda!!!!

Amanda is absolutely amazing. She is a wizard behind the lens, was so fun to work with, and got our pictures back so fast. She was awesome with communication as well. Would 100% recommend her to shoot anyone’s wedding or important event.

Amanda has been amazing since the first time I reached out to inquire about her services. She is always quick to respond to messages on instagram or email. The online platform she uses it extremely easy to navigate, communicate through, and stores all of your information/contracts.

Amanda did an "adventure" style shoot with us for our engagement photos and made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and was so quick to get us our photos back!

On our wedding day Amanda showed up promptly with her second shooter and got straight to work! She was instrumental in keeping us on our timeline and SUPER awesome working with our wedding party. She was always around to snap the fun photos at the reception too!

I can't recommend Amanda at Within the Pines enough and will definitely be using her again for other photo needs!

We had the best experience with Amanda being our photographer for our engagement & wedding! Obviously her photos are stunning, but what we loved the most was how comfortable she made us feel and how much fun it was to have her involved on our best day. You can tell that she cares a lot about her clients and her photos truly reflect that. We can’t wait to use Within The Pines Photography again in the future for more photos that we can cherish forever!

Let me start by saying, I am very picky when it comes to photographers. I know what I want when I see it, so when I came across Amanda’s work, I knew I had to have her for our engagement and wedding pictures. She absolutely exceeded every expectation! Not only is she super fun and easy going, her photos always turn out incredible! You need to hire her for any and all occasions. The best!

First off, wow. Amanda is an amazing photographer and just an amazing individual. Her talent pours out into her work. It would be an understatement to say that I was impressed by her artistic eye. I would recommend no other photographer in Knoxville. No comparison. She is very professional, kind and always willing to work with what you have to offer. I GENUINELY LOVED MY WEDDING PHOTOS! Second and lastly, thank you Amanda for a day I will never forget. I owe precious memoirs from our day to you.

Amanda has done several photography sessions for our family in the last couple of years -- pregnancy, in-laws, multi-generational -- and every single time we've worked with her has been fantastic. She is a consummate professional but so warm and approachable. Her turn around time always surprises me with how quick she is! We highly recommend her and tell all of our friends who took our beautiful pictures.

I am so glad I chose Amanda to take senior photos for me and my fiancé! Not only are the pictures amazing, but she was truly invested in capturing memories we will cherish forever. The day of our photoshoot, campus was pretty crowded and there were lines to get photos in front of UTK’s most popular spots. Amanda ran all around campus with us with a smile and even stayed longer than the designated hour to ensure we got photos in all the spots we wanted. She also got our gallery back to us in such a timely manner. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and experience with Amanda!

Amanda is AMAZING. As two people who both hate being in front of the camera, she made our engagement shoot not only comfortable for us, but enjoyable! We just got the pictures back yesterday and she did an amazing job. We look forward to having her shoot our wedding next October. :)

UPDATE as of 1.4.23 - Our wedding date was on October 15th..

I cannot say enough positive things about Amanda and Tori (her assistant that day). They were both beyond professional and made sure to capture anything on our wishlist plus some. Wedding planning is hard, you are dealing with many vendors and trying to get things squared away. She made the photography segment so easy for us from the time we reached out to her until the end.

Now, for the actual photos. They are photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. She caught so many special moments throughout the night so beautifully, some of which I didn't even realized were photographed. Her style was perfect for what we wanted, and we look forward to sharing our photographs with friends and family. She is a natural with her work 100%.

Amanda is a wonderful photographer and such a sweet woman. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the way our wedding photos came out. Amanda is so easy to work with and get along with, and makes sure you’re comfortable throughout the entire process. We waited kind of last minute for our engagement photos before the wedding but she didn’t hesitate in getting us worked in. The day of photos came out STUNNING and she took every photo request we had. Would definitely recommend Within The Pines Photography to everyone!

Discovering Amanda and Within the Pines was truly a dream come true! From our engagement session, to our wedding day, Amanda did such an incredible job capturing mine & my husband’s biggest milestone of our lives. She even had the patience of a saint working with my husband’s silly antics. All of our pictures turned out beautifully. When I received our wedding pictures, it was like reliving my wedding day: I laughed and cried tears of joy. I can’t recommend Amanda enough!

Let me start out by saying that Amanda is everything, plus a million percent more, that you could ever hope for in your wedding photographer. I've worked in the wedding industry for several years, so I knew what I was looking for. Even during our initial phone call before booking, I could tell how kind she was, and how genuinely she loves her job and cares for her clients. We originally booked Amanda for our destination wedding in Gatlinburg, and long story short, ended up having to move the wedding to where we live -- Austin, Texas. I was SO thankful that Amanda was willing to travel to still shoot our wedding! Even when covid happened, she assured us that she would do everything possible to be there for us, and she truly did. Through six months of 29387823 changes in our plans, Amanda was always so flexible and understanding. Fast forward to our wedding on October 10th, after months of talking on the phone and emailing, I was so excited to finally meet Amanda face to face! The whole day, she made everything so relaxed, went with the flow, and made us feel so comfortable. She had the best suggestions for poses and always kept me on my good side (seriously this is so important!). When we received our sneak peek while on our honeymoon, I literally burst into happy tears. The photos are everything I knew they would be and more, and I could not be more grateful for her timeliness, patience, and talent! We can't wait to take a trip to Gatlinburg/Knoxville and take more photos with her!!!!
