“It’s an amazing feeling after creating work for over two decades, I still love

the photographs I made twenty years ago as much as the ones I make today. From day one, my goal has been simple: make timeless work that resonates with me and my clients over time as much as it does the day it’s made. I feel so grateful my amazing clients allow me to do this for a living.

I archive life, make beautiful things, create art for incredible clients and collectors around the world, and teach artists and creatively curious folks how to make art. What could be better?”

Amanda Sudimack is an artist, award-winning photographer and art educator who has been creating work for clients and collectors worldwide for over twenty-five years.

Her work has lined the pages of leading wedding publications including Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Town & Country, Real Simple Weddings, Martha Stewart Weddings, Inside Weddings, The Knot, Style Me Pretty, Modern Bride, and more. She's been featured in industry publications including Photo District News (PDN), Rangefinder, and Professional Photographer. Amanda was twice awarded the coveted Photo District News (PDN) Top Knots Awards and her body of work is profiled in three books including Wedding Photography Unveiled by Jacqueline Tobin for PDN, Ultimate Wedding Look Book by The Knot and Photographer's Guide to Wedding Album Design and Sales by Bob Coates.

Amanda continues to document client commissions worldwide, creates original art for collectors, and teaches artists and creatively curious folks through workshops, classes and creative resources at AmandaSudimack.com.

She holds a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and studied at the Istituto Lorenzo de’ Medici in Florence, Italy. Amanda calls Oak Park, Illinois home where she lives with her family, Tod, Emmet and Zoe, and two exceptionally lazy Border Terriers, Izzy & Mavis.
