WILCHEROLOGIE

April 24, 2010

It is ALIIIIIIVE! BWAAAHAHAHA

After a long debate, I’ve decided its time. Wilcherologie is a customized proofing site for all of Amanda Wilcher Clients to be able to easily peruse their photographs, order custom prints, etc. all with a little eye-candy. You think this is good? Wait ’til our new site and blog is here. ….  ;)

(P.S.- For those of your who are used to Pictage and still have your photos located there – don’t worry. It will still be up for several more months just in case you need to access it or family/friends would like to order.)

2009…2010 BRIDES

January 10, 2010

What a killer bunch of hot tamales I’ve had in 2009! I think I get SO lucky with my incredible brides that I cannot justify taking credit for the beauty below. Classy demeanor, humor, elegance, and style radiate throughout these women. Here are my 9 favorites from this year. I had no picking process other than what first caught my glance when shuffling, otherwise I would have gone batty.

Ladies, thank you ALL for having such grace and letting me document your incredible lives with you. XOXOXOXO to you all!!

P.S. – I know lots of photographers think their brides are beautiful, but I’ve had one FINE lookin’ group of ladies this year. I WIN.

P.S.S – There are 10. Let’s pretend there are 9. K, thanks.

2009…2010 PORTRAITS

January 10, 2010

Wedding. Travel. Wedding. Wedding. Travel. Wedding…. Somehow we didn’t actually get to photograph that many portrait or engagement sessions this year-only a mere handful. I do think though that for lack in quantity, we made up for it in quality. We’ve had the most dashing individuals to capture; I love their smiling faces.

Honorable mention :) 122________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

At this point, I don’t even know what to pick for my favorites. Do you all even realize the shear number of images we capture in a full year? Its daunting really. 9 is MUCH harder than I initially realized as I find so many photos that merit my smile and catch my eye just as much the photo beside it. I only want to let everyone know that I’m meagerly attempting to remember some of my favorite moments from the past 365 days, and I’m sure to forget one or eighteen along the way. We can all forgive me though, right? Good.

Thanks for blogstalking,

Dover, Arkansas

I have no words to justify the beauty, love, silliness, crazy red jeans, and cute outfits I hold before you.

To be completely honest, this was one of the most difficult shoots that I have ever accomplished. Arkansas is vast and rich with mountainous diversity, but it was completely foreign to me. That, along with the fact that I had no way to scout beforehand and no idea what would lay before us made this a nervous journey that thankfully has ended up becoming now one of my favorites of all time. David, Lori, and Presli. We looooove you.

RED JEANS ALERT! (Yes, I made David wear these and yes, we all did later go to dinner in those outfits.)dlp0006I love this next series as well. I SO WISH I would have had some crazy cute photos like this when I was little.dlp0007dlp0008dlp0009dlp0010dlp0011

Oh yes. A quick snapshot of David threatening his life with a stunt of climbing out on the ledge of a MOUNTAIN. For some reason, we didn’t really think of how dangerous this really was until later… Once again, I stress the word MOUNTAIN. Like the kind I was too afraid to get close to the edge standing up so instead I crawled over to take a look. dlp0013cdlp0013b

John Moon: Love the road shot....it speaks volumes.

I really love the IMA for engagement sessions. Yeah, right. How many more times are we really going to see that love piece??? Anyway, to all of your surprise I actually (gasp!) picked to head to the IMA with the lovely Allison and Justin, because I wanted to get a few different aspects of it before I completely scrapped the thought of one more incredulous LOVE photo. Thankfully, they were down.

First and favorite!

Yes, we stole that ladder. Yes, we returned it.aj0003baj0004

Let’s play “Where’s Waldo?” only with bees!aj0005

And thanks to my faithful blogstalkers.-A

Brianna Phelan: Such an awesome session. I love the colours in it!

Maya Laurent: Way to get some different angles of the IMA!

Ally has been ever so patiently awaiting her crazy day of shooting with us through the middle of Nowheresville (Montgomery, IN). We traipsed though wheat fields, dirt, and for my personal enjoyment, poison ivy.

ar0001ar0003ar0004Just go with it.ar0008

Poison Ivy is so beautiful. ar0009ar0007

This last one was my favoriteish. Thanks for blogstalking!

Brenda Pusey: So in love!!!! They have that true country grit/attitude feel... she looks like she belongs there and not like you made a client go traipsing out in no man's land. I can't get over the personality and style. All around well done!!

Ben: That black and white in the creek is such a great photo. Very calming and smooth skin tones. Good job like always.

April (April Foster Events): This girl + your photography skills makes her look more like a model than a student. wow.

John Moon: This one is smokin! I love the barn shot with the backlighting. The dusty road looks like a scene out of a movie.

Christina Porter: THIS IS AMAzING!!! I LOVE THE WHEAT!

Maya Laurent: Love the car shots but I really, really like the black and white barn one the best! Great small town shots! :)

World, Eloise. Eloise, World.

This baby has probably the top 10 coolest parents on the planet. I wish they adopted me!!! Everything about their outlook on life, how they treat little Eloise and each other, their humor, their style, everything. The only reason that I agreed to do this was because I knew that I could shoot wherever and however I wished, and that I would have fun doing it. Baby Eloise, you are such a lucky little girl. I will come to Colorado and continue to capture you and your parents for the rest of your life.

I caught this little gem while we were walking back to the car. ; )
