For many photographers, the journey into wedding photography begins with inspiration from other talented professionals in the field. For Amanda Parker, Ivory House’s seasoned Wedding Photographer, that inspiration was "…found Jasmine Star and the late Jessica Claire's blog. I was enamored with their work. I thought if they can do this, I can do this." This initial spark of inspiration lead to a deep desire to learn and master the craft of wedding photography.
The Power of Anticipation and Calmness
Amanda's approach to wedding photography is rooted in a strong foundation of experience and knowledge. She spent two years second shooting with various photographers, learning the ins and outs of wedding day logistics, posing techniques, and problem-solving. Her dedication to understanding every aspect of the wedding day ensures that she is prepared for any situation that may arise.
One of the key qualities that sets Amanda apart as a wedding photographer is her ability to navigate the chaos of a wedding day with grace and calm. She thrives on the challenges and sees them as opportunities to showcase her expertise.
