Wedding Photography based in Southern Wisconsin

for the thinkers and feelers

For the ones who love life and just wanna be themselves.

My name is Amanda Ly Warren, and I'm a wedding and portrait photographer who wants to help people remember the most authentic version of themselves. A problem-solver at heart, my goal is to make your experience stress-free, so you can have the time of your life just being you.

Non-traditional ideas? I’m all ears. Wanna dance in the rain? Here for it. Old-school classic style? We’ll build a moodboard inspired by old Hollywood. College friends as flower girls? Portraits with your dog? I don’t know what you have in mind yet, but I’ll be there, capturing it all. Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate wedding on your family farm or the party of a lifetime, we’ll make your ideas come to life.

While your wedding might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I believe that the thoughts and feelings you have on your wedding day shouldn’t be. So I promise to be all in capturing everything behind the scenes, if you promise to be 100% present and fully yourself on your big day. After all, that’s the way it should be.

Based in Southern Wisconsin, but willing to travel anywhere.

And here’s what you should know about me:

I love slow mornings with hot phin-brewed coffee, my journal, and colored pens // Most days you can find me reading or taking a class because I’m obsessed with learning // I am a deep conversation person–the quickest way to my heart is skipping the small talk // I absolutely love laughing, and I’m always a sucker for a good (or a bad) joke // Great tacos and Vietnamese food are my love language // I always secretly hope that you’ll ask me to join you on the dance floor // Wisconsin is great, but I’m 100% down to travel anywhere

Like the time when you hiked a mountain, only to find that fog blocked the view, but you realized that the view wasn’t so important because you were together. Or the time that you sat in his grandparents house, listening to old stories, hoping that he will turn out just like his grandfather someday.

The times that feel so normal, yet so magical. Where vulnerability and courage meet in the most beautiful way. Because that’s what it takes to really be ourselves with someone else. And that’s what I want to capture.

I’m inspired most by photos that tell an emotional story. Photos that make you feel something. The ones that make you remember.

"Amanda showed an artistic eye for detail in every single step of the process. She helped me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and I love every single one of my photos. I felt like Amanda cared about how these photos turned out just as much as I did. To be blunt, she made me realize that it's possible not to hate every photo of myself. You will absolutely love Amanda, her process, and every photo you receive. Trust her when it comes to every stage of the process. It's worth it."

"We love Tori's senior pictures. You captured her personality so perfectly and of course we think that they are just beautiful. Your pictures reminded us that time has sped by and our family is changing. Your photos will always remind us of our journey to this point and how special this moment is in Tori’s life. Thank you for taking time to be a part of her life and for the impact you have made on her. I don’t know how I will ever chose which picture is my favorite so I might just have to hang them all!"

We loved working with Amanda. She perfectly captured the love and joy in us and our family and friends. We absolutely love all our photos- they are natural and candid and exactly what we were hoping for. We will certainly cherish them forever. Amanda was a fun and calming presence, helping guide our schedule making sure we got all the photos we wanted. She was helpful and responsive in helping us set a timeline for our whole wedding day, which made the day itself much more calm and less stressful!
