“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.”
-Ansel Adams

WHITNEY LEE

Whitney Lee was first attracted to photography because of its lovely mix of technical concepts and artistic creativity. Years later, now that Whitney holds an honors bachelor’s degree in photography, has over 10 years of wedding photography experience, has photographed hundreds of weddings, and has had her work published in several wedding magazines, Whitney still loves the medium of photography. “I adore the qualities of beautiful light,” Whitney says, “when golden, soft light hits the subject in just the right way… and then at the perfect moment… I can’t describe how great it feels when time, light, and space line up beautifully and I get to click the shutter.”

Whitney gracefully blends her youth, experience and energy to produce images that manage to be both stylish and timeless. She approaches each wedding with an open mind, allowing her to capture the beauty that is unique to the event at hand rather than forcing a style or a timeline where it wasn’t meant to be.

“Wedding photography is so much deeper than simply documenting an event,” Whitney believes. “It is about being aware of the thoughts and feelings of the bride and groom and their families and then capturing moments that can recall those feelings for lifetimes to come. It is about sensing the style, happiness and grace of the day and making images that not only document those qualities, but are themselves stylish, happy, and graceful.”

LEAH MUSE

Leah’s enthusiasm for her work and passion for capturing powerful images is contagious!  Her excitement and talent for imagemaking makes it easy for her to inspire genuine smiles from those who are fortunate enough to be on the other side of her lens.

“I love the challenge of finding new ways to portray ordinary things,” Leah says, “and I take pride in making people comfortable enough to capture a moment that lets their personalities truly shine.”

Being able to take part in a couples wedding day is something that Leah takes the utmost pride in.  When asked why she has chosen photography as her profession, Leah replies simply, “This is what I love to do.”

Amanda Pomilla Hagood

Amanda is a creative and happy photographer. Although she didn’t start out studying photography, she was always attracted to it. From the first tiny film camera she owned to her latest DSLR, Amanda has always been fascinated with combining technology and artistry to produce images that not only capture her subjects in the moment, but also captivate viewers for years to come.

Amanda is constantly looking for new and exciting ways to express herself while allowing the subject’s style and personality to shine through.  She puts her love of photography and her passion for people into everything she does. “I love meeting new people who are in such a blissful and momentous place in their life when we start our relationship,” says Amanda. “Being allowed to help create their memories is an amazing honor that I absolutely cherish.”

In addition to being an animated photographer, Amanda is thrilled to be married to her wonderful husband, Anthony.  They will welcome their first child this year.  Amanda has been known to devote a lot of time to reading and working on creative writing.  She’ll talk your ear off about crocheting and other crafts and will gladly join a game of tennis any day..
