Sarah & Cole

"If you want to look back at your special memories and feel like it’s happening all over again, you need to book Amanda!! She captures EVERY special detail, big or small. Our wedding gallery is the most beautiful set of pictures I’ve ever seen. She captured things I would have never imagined."

Margaret & Greg

"I can't recommend Amanda enough for future couples! I first met Amanda at a wedding expo and immediately fell in love with her photo style and personality. She easily became an important part of my bridal party; she even jumped in to help me pin down my veil, put on and take off my painful shoes, and helped my mom/aunts bustle my gown! I can't thank her enough for her hard work and dedication to making sure our day was perfect."

Aimee + Casey

"Amanda Ketterhagen Photography doesn't just take photos, she captures the emotions of the moment and let's you jump back into each photo. Our wedding day was so beautiful but it went FAST. With just the sneak peek gallery that AKP sent us, we were able to remember all of the happy and tearful memories. She puts all of her energy into capturing your day and we would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a KICK-A$$ photography."

Samantha & Alex

"Amanda is nothing but wonderful! She really knows how to capture happiness, passion and love within her pictures. My husband and I will always look at our wedding pictures in awe. Amanda did an amazing job on our engagement photos and an even more amazing job on our wedding photos. Amanda is easy to work with and very patient. I recommend her to everyone!"
