I'm a Chicago-born, Arizona-based wedding and portrait photographer. I specialize in capturing the authentic moments. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, I create timeless images that reflect the unique essence of each couple. I look forward to bringing your special moments to life!

As a wedding photographer with over 7 years of experience, my style blends documentary storytelling with a timeless, elegant aesthetic. I have experience photographing weddings in diverse locations, from the Chicagoland area to the stunning mountain landscapes of Flagstaff, Arizona. I like to create a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere so your true connection shines through every image. My goal is to deliver photos that beautifully preserve the emotion and essence of your day.

  • Highly Recommend Amanda for your Wedding!

    •Verified review
    •Karly Z.•Feb 9, 2026

    We would highly recommend booking with Amanda for your wedding (or other event!) photography. From the beginning she was open, communicative, and supportive. She gave us recommendations for other vendors that we needed. We did our engagement shoot in December in Chicago and even through the cold weather she took her time to make sure care was put into the photos and they delivered! She captured our love for each other and the city of Chicago. She was organized and timely with everything for our wedding day. Even with a snow storm, Amanda went above and beyond to capture our entire day. Our wedding pictures were everything we could have asked for and it is all due to Amanda's talent, creativity, dedication, and love for photography. Please consider booking her for your wedding!

    Amanda is a wonderful photographer - thoughtful, kind, and has a great eye. We hired Amanda to photograph our hiking elopement in Sedona, AZ. She hiked out with us, photographed our vows, and took pictures along the hike with us. This was an unusual wedding, and she took it in stride and executed it perfectly! Her pictures are stunning, her communication was seamless, and she made our day feel very special and beautiful.

    Amanda from AR Drendel was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication was clear, timely and honest throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was truly exceptional - she has an expressive and creative eye that captured the natural beauty of our outdoor setting and the love between my husband and I. Amanda was super patient and flexible, working with us ahead of time to plan out the shots we wanted, and then seamlessly flowing with the spontaneity and beauty of our wedding day. We couldn't have asked for a more lovely person to work with before and during our special day. We are thrilled with the results and highly recommend AR Drendel for any couple looking for beautiful, emotive wedding photography. She did such a good job capturing how much fun we were having!
