Father of the bride emotional wedding moment photographed by Aundrea Marie Photography

Proof from the people who saw the whole day

“I’ve never seen a photographer work harder.

This came from the father of the bride, not the couple. That matters. He was watching the full day from the outside, which means he saw the work, the awareness, and everything that was being carried from start to finish. That is what people feel when the experience is handled well.

"My wife and I were in the mist of planning our vow exchange to Glacier National Park and we wanted everything to be picture perfect. Literally and figuratively. I found Aundrea through Google and decided to reach out after extensively looking at her page. And I have to say, it was the best and easiest choice we could have ever made. Not only is her work OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING, but SHE is amazing. Being a lesbian couple, we knew some photographers might try to capture stagnant shots to avoid any awkwardness during the shoot, but I can confidently say, Aundrea's inclusivity actually made me cry following our shoot. She made us feel so extremely loved and beautiful. We cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us. When we show people our photos, they always notice the detail and color in her work and always say, 'These don't even look real!! They look like they could be in a magazine or something!'. And they are not wrong."

"My husband and I eloped to Montana in August 2021. We chose MT because I stumbled onto Aundrea's site and instantly fell in love with her documentary/candid style. On our first FaceTime call she made us feel at ease and assured us she would help every step of the way. Needless to say, Aundrea exceeded every expectation, reassured every worry, and truly helped us plan our intimate elopement. She helped with the little details I got stuck on, had fantastic recommendations, and even picked up the flowers the morning of. By the time we finally met Aundrea, we felt like we had known her forever. It was just my husband and I the day of, and Aundrea was the friend we needed as our day unfolded. She caught every moment without feeling like there was a camera in our faces which was super important for us. Aundrea was an integral piece of our elopement and whole Montana trip. Lastly, we could not be more obsessed with our photos. They are phenomenal and breathtaking. Most importantly, they are us."

"If you are looking to elope in the Glacier National Park area - Aundrea is hands down the BEST photographer you could pick! Outside of her amazing photography skills, she knows the surrounding area and park like the back of her hand. She helped plan & create the perfect day for our elopement - from location scouting before our big day, driving us to and from locations, to coming prepared with everything from shoeshine and snacks - on top capturing every little moment during the day. And outside of being such a talented photographer - she is one of the best people you'll ever meet. We instantly connected beyond photographer and client. I couldn't recommend her more! Anyone who is looking for a photographer in Western Montana should hire Aundrea."
