About Me

I’m Amanda, a Charlottesville-based wedding photographer with over 17 years behind the camera. I started out in NYC photographing celebrities—from Tom Cruise to Beyoncé and Justin Bieber—before moving back to Virginia for a slower, more grounded life and a focus on photographing weddings. When I’m not working, I’m usually hanging out with my husband or exploring with my two sons. I love music, being outside, the beach, sailing, kayaking, traveling, going to the movies, roller coasters, art, coffee shops, and getting lost in a good book or Netflix series.

Amanda Maglione Photography is a Charlottesville, Virginia–based wedding photography business known for its honest, documentary-style approach and effortlessly warm presence. With over a decade of experience behind the camera, Amanda brings both technical expertise and an intuitive, people-first perspective to every wedding she photographs. Her work is rooted in photojournalism—capturing moments as they naturally unfold rather than staging or over-directing them. The result is a collection of images that feel real, personal, and emotionally true to the day. From the quiet in-between glances to the full, chaotic joy of a packed dance floor, Amanda focuses on the moments couples might not even realize are happening, but will treasure most once they see them. Amanda’s approach is intentionally approachable and low-pressure. She creates an environment where people feel comfortable being themselves, which translates directly into photographs that feel relaxed and genuine rather than stiff or overly posed. While she offers guidance when needed, especially during portraits, her priority is always preserving the natural rhythm of the day. Couples often choose Amanda not just for her consistent, high-quality imagery, but for the sense of ease she brings to the wedding experience. Her years in the industry mean she knows how to anticipate moments, navigate timelines, and adapt quickly, allowing clients to feel confident that everything is being documented seamlessly. Based in Charlottesville and serving destinations beyond, Amanda Maglione Photography is a strong fit for couples who value authenticity, connection, and storytelling over trends. Her work reflects a balance of artistry and realism—images that feel timeless without being overly polished, and emotional without being forced. At its core, her business is about preserving memories in a way that feels true to the people in them—so that years from now, those photographs still feel like you.
