Hey, there! Thanks for dropping by. I'm so glad you've come by to visit my portfolio and I hope you enjoy your stay while you're here.

So, here's where the usual "photography is my passion" speech goes. Ready?

Photography isn't what I am...it's who I am. It's more than a passion for me - it's a calling. I believe that beauty comes in the form of a still image. It's incredible to have the opportunity to peek into someone else's life for the sole purpose of capturing joy.

But wait! There's more!

Photos represent so much more to me than just my desire to photograph things and people. It gives me a chance to touch lives and make an impact on the people I come into contact with. That's not something everyone gets to do. And you know what? I don't take that lightly. I have the best job in the entire world and the privilege to do what I love every day - there's nothing better than that.

I'm a sucker for details, stolen glances, first looks and love, love, LOVE. From the engagement pictures to the day of wedding portraits, you can count on me to take classic and artistic photos for you to treasure for the rest of your life.

On the wedding day, I'm more than just your photographer. I'm a boutonniere pinner, an expert dress bustler, a coordinator, a stylist, a lighting technician, a messenger, a family wrangler, and most importantly, a friend who will not only capture your most precious moments but will also laugh with and even cry with you as you experience your wedding day.

I'm Manda Koolis. I capture life. I capture joy. I capture love. I am a professional lifestyle photojournalist and I cherish every second of it. I can't wait to be your photographer.

Pssst....P.S. If you want to get to know me a little bit better, feel free to head on over the blog (the link is up there ^ on the far right!). Hope to hear from YOU soon!!!
