Amanda & Richard captured our big day as well as our engagement session. I cannot say enough about them. Not only did the pictures leave me speechless, but the entire experience from start to finish was top-notch. Husband & Wife dream team! Amanda is so so sweet and her eye for her craft is unlike anything. Richard rocked out the guy's pictures and he was so helpful holding our drinks during pictures and even helping with my dress when the bustle broke. I could go on and on about the two of them, but I know Root & Arrow's work speaks for itself. We are lifers now with them for any more of our photography needs! I highly recommend anyone needing photographs to consider hiring them!

We are obsessed with how beautifully captured our family was! Amanda was absolutely amazing. Our session was laid back and fun, even with a baby and a dog. Super quick with turn around time. Will definitely be booking again!!

Amanda & Richard are amazing! They made things so easy and fun on our wedding day- capturing the most beautiful memories in the photos. I feel like I’m reliving the day when I look through the gallery. & not to mention their moody and candid style is the best! Loved working with you both.

I can not express enough how thrilled I am with my engagement photos from Root + Arrow Photography! The entire process from start to finish was a complete joy. Amanda took the time to answer all of our questions and helped us nail down a gorgeous location in the Michigan Upper Peninsula. Our photos are everything I was envisioning and so much more. We received so many wonderful compliments from our friends and family. We will treasure these photos for years to come. Thank you again!!
