MANDY IS THE BEST! She is the absolute best at what she does - not only are her photos beautiful, she also was so fantastic to work with. My husband and I are incredibly awkward, and she put us so at ease and helped us figure out what to do with our limbs. We really wanted fun natural pictures that didn't seem overly posed, which is hard with two people who don't know how to pose themselves. Mandy's photos turned out perfect and captured how much fun we had on our wedding day and who we are as a couple. She was super fun to work with, which matters since you spend so much time with your photographer

Mandy and I both have worked several weddings together and I'm always stoked to see her name on the vendor list! She is SUPER fun and awesome to be around. I recently had a photoshoot with her for my boyfriend and I and of course she did an incredible job! I started sobbing (in the best way!) when I saw our photos!

Mandy Rhoden is absolutely AMAZING! I had been looking for a photographer for my wedding that could not only capture the day as it was, but also had an eye for capturing the essence of the people we loved most and our love for nature on that special day. Let me tell you, Mandy delivered and then some! Mandy's professionalism came through long before meeting her via our email and phone conversations. She really made sure she knew my fiance and me as people, what we were looking forward to most on our wedding day, and was more than happy to see to our special requests. On the day of the wedding Mandy

Mandy did such a great job! Our pictures from our elopement were AMAZING! She is professional and easy to work with! She has such a good eye for lighting, a wonderful backdrop, and all other things that we could not have been more happy with!

My husband and I could not be more satisfied with our wedding photos from Mandy. Going back through them for the first time we laughed and we cried. It felt like we got to experience the day all over again. Mandy helped us find a location, put in additional time to make sure everything went smoothly, and made our wedding day the absolute best. She is so fun and easy going she brought out the best of us! Our friends and family have gone on and on about how beautiful the photos turned out. I am so glad that we trusted Mandy for our big day. I would recommend her to anyone.

Mandy is such an incredible photographer and person. She is so creative and passionate it honestly blew us away. She was available through the whole process and really got to know us as a couple. Our pictures are absolutely gorgeous, she really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera (which was VERY hard for me). We wanted to be able to feel every emotion from the wedding day in our pictures and she hit the nail on the head! These are such a gift because we got to cry and laugh all over again. She had fun with us, but also kept us on our timeline perfectly. We have received

My family has twice used Mandy for photo shoots--one a family shoot and one an anniversary party--and we are SO happy with her work. She's organized, patient, and has the best eye. We are/were a big crowd (10 including 3 kids!) and she didn't take a bad shot of any of us. The color and light are beautiful, and we look so happy. Plus, she is so easy to work with, and I appreciated the automatic payment setup.
