Client testimonial

Where to start! We found Mandee after booking the venue and seeing another brides photos from that venue. We loved how laid back and natural her photos looked, the last thing either of us wanted were to look stiff and posed.. its just not us. From our first conversation we felt comfortable with Mandee (she cannot be any sweeter)!  Mandee was so efficient, kind, and not in your face. All my bridesmaids and family were in awe of her! Some of my bridesmaids who have been in many weddings said she was the best photographer they've worked with. She captured amazing pictures without pulling us away from the party and that was awesome. We love you Mandee and thank you for everything!!!!!

"She was the best photographer"

MEET THE TEAM

 I'm Mandee, from North Florida but always down to travel. I'm married to the love of my life, Chad who is active duty in the United States Navy as a Rescue Swimmer. We have four beautiful children. Growing up I never imagined I would be a wedding photographer but looking back, I couldn't imagine doing anything else! I stumbled across photography when I had my son 14 years ago and started to learn, just because I wanted to take some good pictures of him. I didn't know that I was going to fall in love with it and be able to do this for a living though! 

I photographed my first wedding in 2014 and I never looked back. I've been a full-time wedding photographer not long after that and have photographed over 200 weddings to date. I absolutely love capturing the images that will be looked at for generations and generations to come for my couples!

Hey friend,
I’m Mandee!

wedding experience

Great imagery begins with a great experience. In the past decade as a wedding photographer, I have come to realize that it’s that the moments that are gone instantaneously that are the most important, and they are rarely planned out.

The experience I bring allows me to anticipate these moments, and be ready to artfully document them. I want my clients to walk away with imagery that reminds them of what it felt like to be in that very moment, uninterrupted, living life to the fullest. 

I believe...

From Booking to Album

Here is what you can expect from your photo experience from Booking to Album. The weeks prior to and directly following your wedding planning are busy times, to put your mind at ease here’s an outline of what you can expect from me.

The process

→ tWO Months before the wedding

→ one month before your wedding

→ Two days before your wedding

→ The day of your wedding

→ THE DAY after your wedding

→ THREE WEEKS after your wedding

→ SIX weeks after your wedding

Two months before your wedding, we will send you a wedding day questionnaire. From this form we will get all of the info that we need about your big day. On this you will put together a family formal shot list. I will also come up with a wedding day photography timeline from all of this info.

→ TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDING

One month before your wedding day I will send your final invoice. This is also around the time that I will send over your wedding day timeline for photography. 

→ ONE MONTH BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

→ TWO DAYS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

Two days before your wedding, I will check in with you or your wedding planner to confirm that all of the times that I have are correct.

→ THE DAY OF YOUR WEDDING

This is it! This is what we have been preparing for. The day of your wedding, we will show up when it is our time to arrive. We will capture all of the sweet moments for you and will love every second of it. 

→ THE DAY AFTER YOUR WEDDING

The day after your wedding, I will deliver the best sneak peeks ever! You will get a small gallery or edited images for your friends and family to swoon over.

→ THREE WEEKS AFTER YOUR WEDDING

I usually deliver all of our wedding galleries within 3 weeks from your big day. You can expect a gorgeous online gallery with anywhere from 700-1000 beautifully edited images. 

→ SIX WEEKS AFTER YOUR WEDDING

This is usually when I say is the perfect time to order your wedding album. You can email us at mandeematthewsweddings@gmail.com to get the ball rolling on your stunning custom album creation.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you know right off that bat which editing style that you prefer, Awesome! Thats what we will do! If you still cant decide after combing through my social media and website then after your wedding, I will edit 20-25 images in both editing styles and then you can decide. From there I will edit your full gallery with that edit.

HOW DOES THE TWO DIFFERENT EDITING STYLES WORK?

My answer to this question is always, if its in your budget then yes, yes, yes! It neever hurts to have an extra set of hands. When you have two photographers for your wedding day, you get more angles and images. The biggest impact that it has is when you have your first look at your fiance'. When there are two photographers, we are able to capture both of your reactions!

do I need a second photographer?

An engagement session is included in our top collection. In our base and middle collection, they are not included. You are able to add one on at any point though! I would LOVE to capture your engagement! 

IS AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION INCLUDED?

It depends on what collection you choose! Our base collection doesn't include a second photographer, but our other two do. So that is up to you! 

Do you have an assistant with you?

I usually deliver 25-50 sneak peeks within 24-48 hours from your wedding. My clients always love that! Then your full gallery will be sent in about 2-3 weeds after your wedding!

When will i get my images back?

To book and hold your date, we require a signed contract and a $1500 retainer. This ensures that your date is held and we turn away other weddings to prepare for yours!

What do i need to do to book with you?

faqs

To not miss your date, here’s what you need to do:
Contact me to make sure your date is still available.
→ To book and secure your date, we require a $1500 retainer and a signed contract. This will be sent over to you electronically and you can make the payment and sign the contract online.

Every year, I book only a small number of weddings to create the best possible experience from beginning to end for my clients. If you wish to move forward with the booking process, please reach out as soon as possible to ensure your date availability.

testimonials

"Where do I start? You will not find anyone else like Mandee! She is the absolute sweetest and SO talented. Mandee not only took the most beautiful engagement session and wedding photos for us, she became my friend through the process. Mandee was always there to bounce off ideas I may have had for the wedding and was always willing to help me in anyway! She also made us feel so comfortable taking pictures that it felt natural on wedding day! I really could not have asked for a more talented photographer and I could not have asked for a better friend. Highly, highly, highly recommend!"

"She became my friend"

testimonials

We would highly recommend Photographer to anybody who is looking for a photographer who will make you feel relaxed, take time to get the perfect shots and surprise you along the way with thoughtful, personal gestures. 10/10!

"The best part of our day"

testimonials

Photographer went above and beyond her call of duty - helping pin the guy’s boutonnieres on, fixing our registry signing table, giving so much helpful advice, cracking jokes to relieve stress and even providing us a framed picture from the wedding day of my new husband and I as a present. Our engagement photos and wedding photos alike turned out incredible! It’s going to be a hard job picking favorites for our album. 

"Always amazing!!"
