One thing you will NEVER regret is having Ms. Amanda Klein as your photographer! Amanda was my engagement and wedding photographer (and she also convinced me to take boudoir pictures which was one of the best decisions ever!) Amanda and Joanna of Hearts & Horseshoes make you feel at ease and comfortable the second they meet you! My husband HATES having pictures taken and not only did the girls get some amazing pictures of him smiling and happy but he actually ENJOYED it! (and he enjoyed the boudoir pictures even more!) Amanda is so talented and managed to capture us and our personalities perfectly. Amanda captured memories and emotions that I treasure and am so grateful to her for giving me something tangible to hold on to them! While her work can speak for itself and it is glaringly obvious how great she is at her job she also takes the business end of it very seriously and I appreciated that so much. From the beginning she was completely up front about pricing and what you get for it. (and she is SO worth every penny!!) She had a very professional contract that left no questions unanswered. She was not only on time to all our appointments...but every time EARLY! She put so much time into looking at the venue and really put a lot of time and planning into the perfect shot! One of the best parts of Amanda was the fact that she was very speedy in getting pictures edited...everyone knows after you take pictures you can't wait to see them...Amanda doesn't make you wait long! Amanda was the best decision that I made in planning my wedding! She is not only professional and talented but she has to be one of the funniest, witty girls I've ever met and her personality is a true blessing! Amanda has documented the beginning of our lives together and she will be the one we call to document our growing family! We are lifetime clients! ;) We LOVE AMANDA! read more

I could not be any happier with our decision to have Hearts & Horseshoes capture our wedding!! I got a really good vibe chatting with Amanda on our initial phone conversation & her packages were within our budget. Katy was our photographer & she was amazing!! She did our engagements, my boudoir, & our wedding. Both Amanda & Katy were professional, easy to work with, responsive to emails/calls/texts, & flexible. They made us feel very comfortable & were so much fun! During every session (engagements, boudoir, & wedding) we were laughing the entire time. It really felt more like hanging out with friends than it did taking pictures. All of the pictures we got were gorgeous!! They came out better than I could have imagined! We got previews the next day & the full album within a couple weeks (I've heard stories of it taking 6+ months). On our wedding day Katy & the 2nd shooter arrived early. They set up quickly & got right to work. Hair & makeup took longer than expected & 2 groomsmen were almost 2 hours late. We were totally behind schedule but Katy was very patient & flexible and we were able to change things around and make up the time. We still got to the ceremony on time & got all of pictures taken too! I received several compliments from family/guests about our photographers after the wedding. The general consensus was that they were nice, fun, & they weren't "in anyone's face" or "bossy." Amanda sent me a very sweet text the morning of our wedding. It was the simplest gesture but so sweet and thoughtful and something I really appreciated. I really think that goes to show was an amazing, caring person she is. You can tell she truly loves what she does and she is FABULOUS at it. read more

Aside from the ultimate goal of getting married and celebrating our new life together as husband and wife with our friends and family, having a great photographer on our wedding day was top priority. We were about to settle with another photographer when I happen to come across Hearts and Horseshoes. I looked at one photo and fell in love with Amanda's style of work. Upon booking, I quickly found that I would have much more from Amanda than just a photographer on site. She was an essential part to our wedding planning, is very responsive and not only knows her job well but is also 100% compassionate about what she does. We booked her early on but she stayed in touch for the months to follow and up until the night before the wedding. Talking about the wedding with her was always so exciting. Amanda never left us to wonder or worry about any details. We worked on timelines and lists of family members about a month prior, nothing was ever left for last minute which was very much appreciated, for me, being the bride to be, checking stuff off of my to do list was another task of its own. The day of the wedding there were a lot of unexpected setbacks but Amanda never gave up with helping me stay positive, she always had a quick solution and never lost her cool. Our wedding party also thought she was amazing. Amanda with Hearts and Horseshoes is truly the best friend that all soon to be brides will need by their side. read more

Our experience with Hearts and Horseshoes photography was excellent! Amanda was very easy to work with, organized, and made my wedding day go very smooth. We had specific timeframes in place of when we would be meeting with certain family members and she did a great job keeping everyone moving. She has a fun personality and made taking pictures enjoyable for everyone involved. I am most impressed with Amanda's desire to want to ensure we ended up with the most beautiful pictures to remember our special day. We only had her scheduled until a certain time, but she knew she would be leaving as the sun was beginning to set and offered to steal us away one more time to get some sunset photos. She stayed late at no extra charge and those pictures ended up being some of my favorites. I am so thankful that she did that because they turned out beautiful. After the ceremony, she was very prompt on getting us "sample" photos so we could see how they turned out, and got all of our photos to us in within a few weeks. I had noticed a sun spot glare on one that we really liked and asked her to fix it for me and she had the new copy back to us in a day. She really does an amazing job and produces high quality work! I would recommended her to anyone I know getting married or in need of any professional pictures! You won't regret it! read more

Amanda and her team were the most amazing people to work with!!!! I was pushing on the "Bridezilla" role due to planning my wedding from California. Amanda worked with everything we needed, from the look, the feel and the timeline to make sure we had all the pictures we needed without being one moment out of the timeline. She reigned in my 8 bridesmaids, who were having a wonderful time with the morning mimosas....extra wonderful, and took control of who and where and what pictures she needed without putting any undue stress on me. She respected my husband's PTSD from his multiple tours overseas and didn't use any flash photography that would bother him and was so patient with his "I'm over this picture thing" response to it all. But most important, she gave me pictures that will help me remember my wedding exactly how It was for the rest of my forever. I can look at the pictures for hours and know exactly what was happening at that moment. She captured the emotions, the love, and the happiness that my day was full of. And my momma totally loves her! I will use Amanda for my family pictures with my puppies, my pregnancy pictures, small human pictures and any other picture I can think of for the rest of our forever. Because not only is she talented, but she kind of the coolest person ever. read more

We were so lucky to find Amanda and her team! We had a short engagement and so nailing down the venue and photographer were top of our list early on. Both Justin and I felt that the photographer was the single most important part of our wedding (except the dress, of course) and so tasking ourselves with finding THE photographer was our top priority. We had emailed many photographers and found that our short engagement was causing a problem when booking both venue and photographer, so when we got the email from Amanda that she had our date available we were ecstatic!! From the beginning she made the process so fun and enjoyable. She has great vision and her images are proof of that. We felt very confident that we were going to have amazing moments captured from our wedding, and boy were we right! Not just stunning photos of us and our wedding party, but the mood and magic of that day was captured in all the photos. From candid shots to the more formal, they were flawless. She commanded the chaos and produced stunning shots. I guarantee you won't go wrong with her and her team, plus they're a ton a fun to work with! We loved the entire experience so much that we will be sure to use her again as our family grows into the future. -Leesa Derting read more

I don't even know how to express how much I loved working with Amanda (and Holley)!!! They both went so far above and beyond on our wedding day, not only doing their jobs, but also wrangling my bridal party/groomsmen, letting me know where everyone was when I was stuck in the makeup chair, and being my messenger to the DJ during the ceremony! Amanda is sweet, sassy, and a true professional, but she makes everything fun and makes you feel totally comfortable. Once we got our wedding photos back, everyone who saw them wouldn't stop talking about how beautiful they were. I also did a boudoir shoot with Amanda in April and she was amazing. I was so nervous and self-conscious, but she made me feel totally comfortable and happy. I don't know how Amanda manages to travel all over the place for weddings, but I'm so glad she does!!! An amazing photographer was my number one priority for our wedding, and Amanda and her beautiful work were worth every penny. I can't think of anyone better to have been there for me on my big day. read more

While every decision we made for our big day turned out to be the right one, I can honestly say that this was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. I was so nervous for our engagement shoot and Amanda made it so relaxed and fun! For the next 6 months until the wedding day we could not wait to see what she would come up with. From the help in planning our timeline to the late night " I CAN'T WAIT!" texts, the build up was so high that it would have been easy to disappoint. Needless to say - Amanda, Katy, and Holley absolutely killed it! Not only did our pictures turn out incredible and reflect us so very well, but the attitude of the Hearts and Horseshoes team brought even more fun and laughter to the day. The shy girls opened up with them and the guys never complained about a picture while gaining silly nicknames from the crew. We would gladly recommend Amanda and her crew to anyone looking to capture a special moment in their life and we can't wait to see this gal year after year! read more

Amanda was truly the best photographer we could have ever dreamed of having for our wedding! She had the same vision as we did for our wedding and even from our engagement photos which took place 10 months before our wedding we knew she would be the perfect photographer. She did so well with working with our family and the craziness of the wedding day. She is professional, prompt, and SO KIND. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My father-in-law who is our pastor and the minister for the wedding, he has been a pastor for 30 years and has done hundreds of weddings, he said Amanda was the best, most professional photographer he has ever worked with at any wedding he has done in the past. I will recommend Amanda to any couple I know getting married in the future. Thank you Amanda for capturing every beautiful moment from our wedding!!! We will definitely be wanting to work with you again someday when we do family portraits in the future :) read more

Hearts and Horseshoes Photography was nothing short of amazing! From the moment I reached out to them and through the entire wedding process they made it easy for me, made me feel special and truly made the experience so enjoyable. Amanda kept me on track with everything and was the sweetest person to communicate with and was so patient with me. Katy and Holly were so amazing at our engagement shoot and on our wedding day! They were so fun to be around and made us feel so comfortable during our photos. The very best part is the final product - the photos! I honestly could not have been more thrilled with the photos, I'm so grateful to have this time in my life captured SO beautifully! This was my first experience with professional photography and they truly set the bar so high, they will absolutely be my choice for photography for all future special occasions! They came highly recommended to me and I very highly recommend them to you! You will not be disappointed! read more

If you need anything photographed call Amanda with Hearts & Horseshoes!! Amanda (the owner and lead photographer) is not only an awesome woman who is funny, caring, thoughtful and witty she is also an amazingly talented photographer. Amanda and her talented assistant/partner-in-crime Joanna capture the the important moments that you will cherish for years to come. I have seen them shoot families, kids, couples, boudoirs and weddings - each time I am awe-struck by the end result. For example: Imagine 2 crazy boys ages 3 & 2 add in their parents, the family dog, the grandparents and uncle... you might think utter chaos but the moments that Amanda captured are priceless! I would recommend (and have) Amanda to anyone . . . her portfolio speaks for itself but when you couple that with an amazing person who is a joy to work with such as Amanda you have a win-win situation that you will not regret. Hearts & Horseshoes is my go-to photographer and will always be :) read more

When it comes to Amanda, I can't find enough good words to describe her or our experience. We were blessed to find Amanda through some close friends of ours. She did our engagement shoot, my boudoir shoot as a wedding gift to my husband, and our entire wedding day. I have never liked pictures of myself, especially when taken by other people, but I seriously couldn't be more in love with the pictures we have gotten back from Amanda. She is AMAZING to work with, so sweet, and makes you feel like you're just a couple of friends having fun, not doing a photoshoot. For all the work she put in between all three shoots, the price was unbeatable, and the results were stunning! We received our wedding pictures about a month after our wedding; I was amazed that she was able to get them to us so quickly! Photos are the one thing you will always have from your wedding day, and she did the best job of making sure our day is beautifully unforgettable. read more

Amanda is an amazingly gifted photographer! She has the "natural eye" for catching those unique, priceless moments that typical photographers would miss. She has done family shots for me that includes 3 BUSY kids, a puppy, and us parents. She managed to get all 6 of us on our "good sides" in nearly every photo. She makes the impossible possible. Not only did we have a huge amount of tremendous photos to pick from, the kids and puppy all had a great time and can't wait to do it again because Amanda made it so much fun for them! Her family shots are spectacular and in looking through her galleries, every type of event she photographs comes out just breathtaking! This company is the best of the best and the moments they capture are priceless! There is a combination of raw talent, professionalism, passion, high quality, and uniqueness that provides a product to treasure forever! Browse through the galleries and you will definitely agree. read more

Amanda, of HeartsFoto, is a gem! From the first time I met her, to the wedding, and to months afterward, she has been welcoming, accessible, receptive, knowledgeable, talented, helpful, and just plain wonderful to work with. She is the real deal and I highly recommend her! It was evident that Amanda and Ally (who is equally wonderful) had done their research with regards to our venue. On the day of the wedding they arrived and because of their preparedness, they we able to assist us in keeping the day on schedule. They did this in an effortless, subtle manner that was appreciated by all. In addition, both photographers were so kind and attentive to the guests and anyone that had the good fortune of getting to know them had nothing but positive comments. To top it all off, every photo is a favorite! The only thing better than a bride liking every wedding photo is the connection that was made with these wonderful human beings! read more

A picture is worth a thousand words - and it would take thousands and thousands of words to adequately describe working with Amanda and truly do justice for the quality of her pictures, involvement, and attitude. I could go on and on about how her pictures are FANTASTIC and GORGEOUS, from the lighting to the shots to the editing, but what I think is really important is how she carries herself and her interactions with us. For those that don't know, at your wedding you will probably spend more time with your photographer than anyone else (except maybe your spouse). What kind of person do you want taking your pictures? She is professional, kind, interactive, easy to talk to, and remarkably helpful. If you want a photographer that takes world class photos and feels like a true friend on your big day, there is NO other choice than Amanda and HeartsFoto! Thank you so much! read more

Amanda was at our wedding to capture all the most perfect moments of the day. I love how all her pictures seem to be infused with a natural glow that highlights the joyous mood of the occasion. Amanda was extremely easy to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process and took a big weight off my shoulders knowing that our photos would be well taken care of. She easily gained rapport with the wedding party and was super fun to work with. My bridesmaids mentioned more than once how much fun they had taking photos for Amanda. She is a true professional, knowing how to capture all the right shots while not being obtrusive to any of the wedding activities. Our wedding portfolio is absolutely perfect and I'm so glad we now have all those photos to look back at for years to come. I hope I have the pleasure of working with Amanda again. read more

I can't say enough good things about Amanda at Heartsfoto! From our very first meeting she was so sweet and professional. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the whole wedding planning process and was always available to answer questions. The day of the wedding she even checked in to see if we needed her to grab anything last minute on the way to the venue. The day of the wedding she and her assistant made everyone feel so comfortable and kept everything running smoothly- we were even a little ahead of schedule! We had beautiful previews within a few days, and our entire gallery in 6 weeks. We are in love with our pictures and everyone has commented on how nice our photos turned out! I would highly recommend Amanda for wedding photos and we look forward to her capturing future milestones for us in the future! read more

I hired Hearts Foto for my wedding last month and I loved them! Amanda is the main photographer located in the midwest and Katy is the main photographer on the west coast. Amanda was great to work with and responded quickly to my emails. Katy and her assistant Teresa were our photographers on the day and they were great wrangling my family for photos. Teresa went with the groom and groomsmen to a different location for getting ready pictures and the boys had nothing but good things to say about her. Katy came to the venue and took all of our getting ready photos, she had great energy and made everyone feel comfortable and helped give some direction for posing. Katy even came to the venue the day before the wedding to get ideas for locations which was very comforting. I can't wait to get my final shots back! read more

OMG!! Where do I begin?? Amanda is the best as they come!! I wish I could give more than five stars, because her photography is absolutely amazing!! Not only is her photography spectacular, so is she! She is so much fun and make the moments she captures twice as special, both in the moment and in her photos. She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Both turned out spectacular!! Our wedding photos are so breathtaking and stunning. Words can't even begin to describe how amazing they are. I recommend Amanda to anyone who wants to have the best photos ever!! If you want your special day captured, engagements, family or weddings, etc., HeartsFoto is the way to go!! Thank you Amanda! read more
