Amanda, you have a gift!!!!!!! I felt like I was reliving that day all over again. I laughed, I teared up, amazing. I can't believe the emotions that shine through in these pictures that just the thought of what the wedding pictures are going to be like, floors me! We are so grateful to have you as our photographer, you are superb!!!!

"Working with Amanda throughout my wedding planning process has been, by far my favorite and the most enjoyable experience I've had. She is truly the most talented person in my eyes. Its rare that you can find someone who really loves what they do - not only does Amanda love it but you can see it in her work. Every picture she takes captures the real emotions of the subjects, it doesn't looked posed but instead - real. I've had the pleasure of Amanda photographing some of the best moments in my life; Our Engagement Party, where Amanda got so many special details of that day. I didn't have to tell her once what I wanted to make sure I had picture of, she captured everything! Our Engagement Photos, freezing cold in the water on an October day, Amanda got in the water with us! She was soaking wet but determined to give us pictures that we would treasure forever... and we do! My Bridal Shower, my bridal party contacted Amanda and I am so glad they did! It was so special to have her there but this time not just as my photographer but as a friend. I have gorgeous pictures of that day thanks to her! And the last.... the biggie... Our Wedding, words cant even express my gratitude for Amanda and her services. She was with me the whole day and the pictures speak so much more then I ever could. When I saw the teasers she sent..... I had tears in my eyes. I'm so in love with my pictures and its all because of Amanda. Her attention to detail and her customer service are both outstanding! She is so much fun, has a great personality and truly cares about you - which is rare when it comes to wedding vendors.
So you see Amanda has told our wedding story from beginning to end through her pictures - beautifully captured memories that I will always treasure and will be honored to show all the new generations in our family.
I cant say it enough.... Amanda is amazing!!!!!!!!!! "

"Amanda! I don't know how many times i'm going to keep on telling you this... But thank you sooooo much for those amazing pictures!!! I am so happy that I chose you to do our engagement pictures. You have such great talent, and you are really passionate at what you do. I loved the fact that you were so calm with us, made us feel so comfortable, being that it was our first time ever getting professional pictures done :-) I can't stop looking at our pictures they are beyond amazing! If anyone is looking for a professional photographer for their engagement or wedding day pictures, they have come to the perfect person, because you are absolutely the best!

"Though I have only worked with Amanda once (so far), it was in the most potentially uncomfortable situation: a boudoir shoot. Amanda was the perfect mix of professional and friendly that instantly put me at ease and made for some great pictures. Not only was she was willing to go along with all my ideas, but she suggested some even better ones of her own and we actually had a lot of fun. I usually would feel terribly self-conscious in that situation, but Amanda made the day fly by!"

"Amanda you are truly an artist, the emotions that you capture in your photos cause instant tears at least for me they do. You create such lasting and timeless memories all your future brides are so lucky to work with you. I adore my engagement pictures that we took last year and till this day I still look back at them it brings a smile to my face"
-Elizabeth
"You truly are an amazing photographer! Your pictures are one of a kind comparing to other photographers that we've seen. Every time we look at our engagement and wedding pictures we fell in love with it more and more! Also Vivian's boudoir was Wow! Thank you for being our photographer and our friend!"
-Vivan & Victor
"Amanda Picone was hands down our favorite wedding vendor. She was an absolute pleasure to work with before, during and after our day. Her sweet disposition made us feel calm and comfortable. It's not only about the stunning pictures you'll receive. Amanda has the ability to capture moments, emotions, and memories you'll be able to re-live forever."

"I did not hire Amanda for an engagement shoot or a wedding. I hired her for a different very special event. My grandfather turned 80. As a surprise party, my mother put together a concert. This concert wasn't just the high school choir singing-- it was world famous opera singers (and not I am not exaggerating). Although Amanda had another shoot earlier in the day, and there was massive traffic, she made it on time and stayed through the entire concert and party afterward. She captured the true personalities of everyone in attendance. In some of the photos I can almost hear my Grandfather talking, and that will stay with me for as long as I have those pictures. Each photo exuded the emotions of the day, and the personality of the subject of the photo. Amanda had not met anyone at this event, except for me, and magically she reflected everyone's spirit. (As a quick side note, she managed to create my favorite photo in the entire world-- a shot of my two brothers, one had just told a joke and the other burst into laughter. To this day I can not even think about the photo without laughing so hard I cry.) I can not praise her work enough. Not only was her work exactly what I hoped for (and more), but her attitude and demeanor was that of a true professional. She endured and indulged ridiculous requests from my Grandmother with a smile on her face. She was invisible during the concert portion of the evening, while getting shots that were right in the action. For any event I need a photographer, Amanda is it."

"Thank you so much for your professionalism and talent throughout our entire wedding process. You have given us memories of our love that will always touch our hearts every time we look at our pictures. Be proud of yourself because we are very proud of having you as our photographer."

"When my husband and I got engaged, we completely disagreed on the "need" to take engagement pictures. I wanted them more than anything and he thought they were not necessary. After showing my husband pictures taken by Amanda he was immediately swayed. Her creative and natural approach to photography ALWAYS yields the most magnificent pictures. Amanda's pricing was FAR more reasonable than many other professional photographers out there and her work outshines them. Amanda was an absolute pleasure to work with and made what could have been an awkward day SO much fun! Doing our pictures with our photographer made us really wish she was available for our wedding! We love our pictures and could not have been happier!"
-Lauren
"I got the pictures!!!!!!!!!! They are sooooooooooo beautiful! You did such an AWESOME job!
You took soo many special details! I will truly treasure these pictures! I cant thank you enough! Really I have no words for how beautiful your work is. You are such a pleasure to deal with! The pictures you took of my Grandfather and I dancing are just amazing!... Honestly your pictures brought tears to my eyes. Michael was floored by your pictures as well."

"My wedding day so special. We knew we wanted to be different and still act like us. We knew our wedding day had to be elegant but simple, unique and very New York. We got married at City Clerk's office on Friday February the 13th and Amanda was there to document our nuptials. She was patient and made everything so easy! We went for a photo shoot around City Hall area afterward and we all braved the cold but sunny weather and we let her get creative with her shots. The pictures turned out breathtakingly amazing, and my family and friends are still talking about it. Recently our pictures, shot by Amanda were chosen by Time Out New York to appear in the original wedding fashions section on their website. Amanda is an absolute pleasure to work with and is also a very talented photographer."
