HAVE THE BEST DAY EVER—
WITH PHOTOS YOU’LL LOVE FOREVER
With a signature style, true-to-life color and an artistic touch, I create modern yet timeless wedding imagery for couples who want beautiful photos and an effortless experience to match. My approach is centered on helping you fully enjoy your wedding day while still getting the photos you’ve been dreaming of. As a South Jersey wedding photographer, I'm drawn to editorial photography, intimate celebrations, thoughtful details, and couples with a strong sense of style who care deeply about aesthetics. If that sounds like you and you get the vibes, you're in the right place.

"AMANDA PHOTOGRAPHED MY WEDDING AND WE COULD NOT BE MORE THRILLED. I KNEW WHEN PLANNING MY WEDDING THAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS REALLY COMFORTABLE WITH MY PHOTOGRAPHER SINCE WE SPEND THE ENTIRE DAY TOGETHER AND I DEFINITELY WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. AMANDA WAS SO FUN TO SPEND THE DAY WITH! I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH!"

Hi, I'm Amanda Zegel
 
NJ Wedding & Engagement Photographer
Based in South Jersey, I photograph weddings and engagements across the tri-state area and love to travel wherever your love takes me. Whether you're planning an elopement, intimate celebration or full wedding day, my goal is to document your love authentically and artfully in a way that feels as unique as your love story.
why couples love working with me
The right wedding photographer doesn’t just capture your day—they share it with you. On one of the most meaningful days of your life, who you choose to spend it with matters. My role goes beyond taking photos; I want to be a true addition to your day—someone whose presence makes a difference. When it’s all said and done, my goal is for you to feel like I wasn’t just your wedding photographer, but someone you were glad to have by your side.
When you choose me, the decision feels easy, and you can feel confident knowing you’ll walk away with photos you’ll love forever.
WITH ME, YOU'LL LOOK & FEEL YOUR BEST
Do you want photos that look natural with none of the awkwardness? Even if you’re a little camera shy, I make posing easy. With gentle direction, I’ll guide you into the best light & angles so you’ll feel like a natural, look amazing and end up with images you’ll love forever—photos that feel like you, only on your very best day.
MY PHOTOS STAND OUT FROM THE REST
You won’t find anyone else that’s more obsessed with your photos. With a signature style that’s both modern & timeless, I use true-to-color, light-filled imagery and fine-tuned editing, perfecting every photo—so you receive the best images to love forever.
I BALANCE BEING PRESENT WITH GETTING THE PERFECT SHOT
I’ll never let photography keep you from enjoying your wedding—but I’ll also never skip the portraits you’ve been dreaming of! As your wedding photographer, I balance candid coverage with intentional portrait time, capturing the in-between moments that unfold naturally while also creating timeless, frame-worthy images. You get the best of both worlds without missing out on the fun of the day. After all, when the music fades and the flowers are gone, your photos are the one thing that will last a lifetime.
I'M A TOTAL PEOPLE PERSON ABOVE ALL ELSE
This work means everything to me and I care deeply about creating the best experience possible. I approach every session with the same care and intention I would my own—not just as your photographer, but as someone genuinely invested in your joy.
I HAVE A SECRET SUPERPOWER
Before photography, I was a speech therapist—so connecting with people is second nature to me and making people feel comfortable is basically my superpower. I know how to read the room, keep things moving, and handle every personality type with ease—all while making sure photo time feels fun and low key.
I'M A PROFESSIONAL YOU CAN COUNT ON
You name it, I’ve shot it. With years of experience across every stage of life, I know how to handle everything from wild wedding parties and unpredictable weather to tricky lighting and unexpected curveballs. I show up fully prepared—with professional equipment, backups, and insurance—so you can breathe easy knowing you’re in capable hands.
I KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT ELOPING
I don’t just photograph elopements—I’ve lived one! My husband and I planned ours in just a few months, so I know firsthand what it’s like to create an intimate, meaningful day while planning fast, handling all the little details, and still making it feel like you. So whether you’re planning a big celebration or an intimate elopement, I’ll bring that same heart and experience to your day.
