Capturing the Story & Scenery of Your Best Day Ever
Hi! I’m Amanda Matilda, a Grand Junction wedding photographer. I preserve precious moments in beautiful images for nostalgic, adventurous couples so you can relive those best moments of life that fly by too fast.
Whether you’re planning your dream wedding at one of the amazing local venues here on the western slope, or you want your adventurous elopement celebration documented, you’re in the right place!
Hiring a photographer with a story telling heart like mine is so important to document every moment of your wedding day – especially the ones you don’t get to witness.
“There are moments that I know I will long for, even as I live them.”
Judith Katzir
