S2 | E3: The Snap Decision: Booking Your Wedding Photographer

Ever wonder why your photographer lowkey doubles as your therapist on wedding day?

Amanda joins Ivy in the confessional booth to spill the raw, real, and beautiful behind-the-scenes of being a wedding photographer. From managing couples’ expectations to navigating unpredictable wedding-day chaos, Amanda shares how she customizes each package with intention — and why the relationship she builds with her clients matters as much as the images she delivers. They dive into budgeting tips, industry trends, and the art of making each wedding genuinely feel like you. Oh, and yes, she’s dropping a little promo surprise for those tuning in.


Like a perfectly edited photo, this episode is layered, honest, and just the right amount of exposed.

About the Podcast

The Vendor Confessional
Weddings are sacred. This booth? Slightly scandalous.
Welcome to The Vendor Confessional, where the people behind the aisle step up to the mic and speak their truth. Each week, we sit down with wedding vendors who’ve seen it all: the chaos, the magic, the meltdowns, and the moments no one talks about. From florist fails to catering secrets, from burnout to boundaries, nothing’s off-limits inside the booth.

If you're a bride, groom, vendor, or just nosy (no shame), take a seat. It's time to confess.
