I’m Amanda! Your midwest wedding, lifestyle, and Brand photographer.

I’m Cleveland based but love a good adventure. Natural, light, and timeless images are my thing. Making you feel safe in your body and in front of the camera is my mission.

My back story: I picked up my first professional camera back in high school (thanks mom and dad), played around and loved it. Wanted to go to art school until I realized how expensive it was … who knew adulting would be so hard? My backup plan then was going to business school with the hopes that I would one day create what I am right now! Fast forward in time we now have Amanda Hemstreet Photography.

Now for the fun stuff. I am a big travel addict with a bucket list that is just about a mile long. If you love a good adventure, we’ll bond instantly! Zion, Yosemite, The Grand Tetons, and Acadia National Parks are my top US destinations at the moment. But, we can’t forget about Banff, Phi Phi Islands, Copenhagen, Venice, Dublin & Prague for those dreamy international destinations.

Pro tip: I offer discounted destination sessions to the locations on my adventure list. So, if you happen to head to one of these epic locations we are a match made in adventure heaven!

My simple pleasures:

→ My husband and I have the cutest ginger curly boy named Barrett. We love playing outside and exploring together.

→ Travel is my love language. Whether near or far I am always ready for an adventure.

→ Catch me sipping coffee or a margarita at any moment.

→ Music heals me. Currently listening to ‘happy folk coastal cowgirl’ on Spotify.

→ Ending the night reading a good book in bed is always my goal.

weddings

Forever love, this is a big deal. I plan to capture the moments you’re going to cherish way later on in life. The tiny candid moments you don’t know are a big deal, I got those! These are just as important as the pictures you’ve been dreaming about since you were a little thing.

couples & engagements

Every couple deserves to have their story captured on more than just an iPhone. It’s not just about capturing the big days, like a wedding. For me, it’s also about capturing the moments that remind you how you fell in love with your person. The no pressure just fun.

destination weddings & elopements

There’s not much more I love than watching a romance and an adventure unfold all at once. I promise to capture the intimacy of your small destination or elopement and the beauty of all the details you put into this special day.

Family

When was the last time you got the fam together and got a good photo? You probably forget every time you’re together, make excuses, or feel like you’re not ever “put together” enough. A family session is just what you need to hold onto all the seasons of your growing family.
