Hello Friend! I'm so thrilled your here!
I'm Mandy McQuade, professional wedding and portrait photographer based in the Charlotte, NC area.
Originally from Ohio, I've been a photographer in the Charlotte area for 8 years, and studied film photography and fine art at OSU.
Big Fan Of: Italian Desserts, Disney World Blogs, White Washed Walls, Too Many Pillows, Thunderstorms, Mental Health, and Old Book Smell.
Not a Fan Of: Rudeness in Emails, All the Rain in the Carolinas in 2018/2019, and Fire Ants. Seriously. Hate. Fire Ants.
I am constantly chasing sunsets, seeking out those grand landscapes, and finding the light in peoples homes'. I'm a mother to three beautiful babies and a wife to a man who picks up my messes and orders me Thai.
We are both broken people, constantly being driven by our love of this little family, and being rebuilt and sustained by Jesus.
Life isn't always going to be blissful but the memories you document in pictures will help carry you through rough times.
Life is crazy… let’s remember it well!

Our Work of Heart
Amy, AMP Bride
It takes a special person to be a quality wedding photographer.
Simply put: Amanda was the glue that held our wedding together. From the moment we contacted her, she gave us guidance, invaluable info on who to go to for wedding related services, and even saved the day by fixing my wife’s hairstyle moments before the wedding (and taught this clueless guy how to properly affix a boutonniere). She's also a kind and upbeat person to boot. Her reassuring personality was a blessing to both of us during this otherwise stressful time.
"Not your average wedding photographer...
Andrea, AMP BRIDE
I loved having Amanda as our wedding photographer. As a bride, the day can be overwhelming in general, especially if you don't *love* getting your photo taken. Amanda made the experience so much fun and not at all overwhelming. As the review title states, upon meeting her I picked up the fact she's very down to earth and socially aware so she can really hone in on what you want for your wedding day. She captured just enough posed photos, and didn't take my husband and I away for too long for photos between the ceremony and reception.
"Down to Earth and Socially Aware!
