Behind the Lens
We're so excited you're here!! We're a husband and wife wedding photography team based in Phoenix, Arizona. Though we primarily shoot in Arizona, along the west coast and down in Mexico, we also LOVE to travel!
We love cruising in our '57 Cadillac with our kids, GREAT margaritas and ALL things Disney! To learn more about us
HELLO & WELCOME!
Meet Amanda
Wanderlust, lover of tacos, margaritas and all things Disney!
In the early years of our marriage, just after our son was born, Mike bought me a camera and encouraged me to do something for myself. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love. I quickly soaked up everything I could learn, and eventually found myself capturing what continually makes my heart skip a beat - beautiful wedding days.
I grew up in the midwest, live in the desert, and long for warm tropical beaches. But weddings have given me a place to call home. Their energy is undeniable and contagious. I love running my business, pursuing relationships with sweet couples, and telling love stories to last generations. Entrepreneurship runs in my blood, and it helps me see that I am part of something bigger than myself.
If you are captivated by romance and genuine emotion then you're in the right place. Here you will see I am lucky to photograph two souls, madly in love.
I can’t wait to get to know you! Let’s figure out what makes your love story unique, and let’s tell it in the best ways we know how. Send me an email so we can get started!
Our Story
Our Story
One of our favorite things to ask our couples is, “How did you meet?” and “How did you get engaged?” Here is our story!
May 20th, 2006. I got invited to a house party. The weather was hot. I was single and heard one of my best friends from high school was going to be there, so I decided to go. I walked into the house and instantly scanned the room. It was then, that I saw him. I said to myself, “He’s mine!”. Our eyes locked. My face turned bright red, I tried to be cool. I sat down, he asked me if I wanted a drink. I said yes, and the rest was history!
After a few years into our relationship we started a family. We feel truly blessed to have three, beautiful and healthy kids. An awesome business. Amazing family and friends who are so supportive and most importantly, each other.
Our Travels
Our travels
We feel so blessed to be able to travel and capture amazing moments where ever we go. We hope to very soon capture weddings in places like:
Hawaii
Australia
New Zealand
Sweden, Ireland, Switzerland
The Bahamas
Castaway Cay
Anywhere in the Caribbean
Florida & New York
We just may offer a smoking deal to photograph your wedding in one of our dream spots! Just ask!
We're also HUGE Disney fans! Each year we visit Disney in some form. Either Disneyland, Disney World or the Disney Cruise! Here are a few of our favorite pictures from our travels around the world!
Our Babies
Mike and I feel truly blessed to have these three, amazing, crazy, full of energy, hyper, loving kids in our lives.
Brooklyn is our oldest. She’s smart, she’s funny, she’s beautiful. She is an amazing helper. She really loves music, especially anything Taylor Swift related. She just got her first guitar and already can’t put it down. She recently just went on her first Disney Cruise and is already making plans to go on another!
Dean (aka Mr. Cromer) is our little guy. Though he’s not very little anymore. He’s quite the comedian. He absolutely cannot sit still. I attribute that to his Cromer genes! He’s obsessed with cars! Classic cars that is. Especially Chevrolets. I’ve learned it’s just in the blood!
Emmalyn Kamea. My beastie. If you’ve ever seen Maleficent you'll understand why I call her that. This girl is so sweet and loving. And stubborn. And tries to break every rule there is. There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t get a “hug, kiss, high five and a pound” before bed. Frozen is on repeat at our house. I’ve learned to just let it go!

Meet Us
Growing up in the midwest it taught me a great appreciate for nature. I LOVE being outside. By a beach especially. I could walk the shoreline for hours. The sand, the sea…I can just smell it! (Disney Cruise Line take me away!) We trick or treat with Mickey each year. Its half the price and half the crowd! Total win win! We love a good car cruise too! Especially up the coast of California. Mike loves to restore old cars. He could talk engines and motors all day. We are foodies at heart and have figured out how to make our favorite family meals vegan! Our home is decorated like the beach. I think every night should be "Taco Tuesday" and of course you should finish it off with a margarita!
We feel so honored to be able to capture and preserve love in its raw and organic form. We believe every single bride deserves to go wild over not only her wedding photos but the entire photographic process! We want you to enjoy your day, have less stress, more fun with your friends and family and gorgeous images that you can look back on 50 years from now and remember EXACTLY how you felt. Timeless, romantic images stem from an amazing experience and that’s exactly what we create for our sweet brides! If you love genuine and beautiful wedding photos, you've come to the right place!
Wedding Experience
The
Our Process
Once we've received your inquiry we'll schedule a time where we can meet. We like to meet at your local coffee house, a yummy burger joint or your all time favorite bar and grill. We love getting to know about you, how you two met, how you got engaged and all about your wedding.
Once you’re officially official and your date has been secured, it’s time to schedule an engagement session! This is where we teach our couples how we work and become comfortable with one another! This is how we're able to get so many gorgeous portraits on the day of the wedding. Our couples already know what to do, what works best for their body and their fiancés and in-turn they get to spend more time with their family and friends!
We understand how overwhelming planning a wedding can be and we're here to take away the anxiety and the pressure. We enjoy making custom timelines for each of our couples and we have a list of awesome vendors who we'd love to share with you!
Frequently Asked Questions
“Is an Engagement Session included when I invest in The Wedding Experience?”
YES! The Engagement session is a crucial part of the experience that we offer our couples!
“Do you travel for destination weddings?”
Yes! Yes! and Yes! We LOVE traveling and when we get the opportunity to travel and shoot a wedding at the same time, we’re in heaven!
“What inspires you?”
I LOVE traveling. Whether it's to California or the Bahamas, I have my camera with me. I love being able to capture our memories! I also LOVE hanging out at home with my kids. Even though it doesn’t directly relate to my photography, when I can relax on the couch, watch a good Disney movie and eat some snacks (I sound like a toddler myself!), I return to my camera with renewed excitement about my job!
“Do you work with a second photographer?”
Yes! Mike really enjoys shooting weddings with me. However, his schedule doesn’t always allow it. When that is the case I have back up, amazing photographers. Each one of them is a professional who owns their own photography business and who takes your wedding just as serious as I do.
“How many images do you deliver?”
We typically average 75-100 images per hour that we’re shooting.
“Do you edit all the images?”
Yes! Every image you receive will have been touched by me. I make sure all the colors are correct, the angle is perfect and you’re looking your best!
“How long does it take to get my images/products?”
Images from an engagement session will be ready within 30 days from the session date. Wedding images will be ready within 90 days from the wedding date.
“How do I secure my wedding in your calendar?”
To reserve us exclusively, a retainer of 50% is required upon signing your contract. This is a non- refundable retainer, but in cases of emergency, can be transferrable. The remaining balance is due 45 days before your wedding date.
For any additional questions please feel free to contact us! We’re always here to help!

Amanda was SO wonderful to work with! During our initial meeting we clicked instantly and by the end we felt like friends! By the time we were pulling out of the parking lot from that meeting I texted her that she was "the one" for us! She was so accommodating to drive to our location for engagement pictures and even turned out session in to a family session to include our two daughters. She has been thoughtful and payed attention to detail through this whole process! Her creative eye for romantic lighting and capturing our true relationship personality is the reason why I will recommend her to anyone and everyone I know!

Amanda was amazing to work with. She never made us feel awkward or out of place and was so sweet throughout the whole entire process. I felt like she was more of a friend than a vendor and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for their wedding photographer!

Amanda was simply AMAZING! I searched for a long time to find a photographer that not only provided the best value but that I had a connection with and let me say that Amanda and I had that spark from our first meeting! Amanda is very personable and you can tell that she loves what she does and that it is her passion. She is a natural of what she does and it shows through her beautiful shots. You not only get beautiful photos but a photographer and friend for life!

I knew when I got engaged that I would want to remember these special moments forever. I searched endlessly for a photographer and I came upon Amanda. She is literally the sweetest photographer that I met with. From our first time meeting I knew she would be my photographer without a doubt. We scheduled our engagement photos and those pictures turned out better than I could have ever expected. On our wedding day she made the entire process FUN and I never had one ounce of stress! She kept everyone laughing and smiling! I recommend her to everyone every chance that I get! Thank you so much Amanda for being the phenomenal photographer and inspiring woman you are! We cannot thank you enough!
