Introduction: Hello there! I am Amanda Swiger, owner of Swiger Photography! I have been a professional photographer for almost 10 years now and I am so excited that you are considering hiring me to capture some beautiful images for you! From weddings to families, boudoir to engagements, headshots to events, I have done it all and would love to be apart of whatever you are planning! What sets me apart from other local photographers is the experience my clients have working with me. At Swiger Photography, we view our clients as family, an extension of ourselves and we treat them the way would our own family. So when I show up at your family shoot or your wedding day, I am not some hired vendor, I know you and I am a friend, which radically changes your images and the overall look of an event. Because this is the outcome I want, I take a lot of time to get to know you, what you are looking for and how I can best capture wherever you are in life! And we also have a lot of fun too! If you'd like to view more of my work, please head to my website!

Amazing. If I had to describe Amanda in one word, it would be amazing. From our first meeting, she was extremely friendly and very open to my ideas. She was so excited that she even came up with a few ideas on her own based on some of our interests and hobbies. I have never worked with a photographer before, so I was very nervous going into my engagement shoot because I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Amanda immediately put my mind at easy and made the shoot super fun. Her assistant Jordan was fabulous with my fiancé and kept him laughing by joking with him throughout our shoot which made the session go very smoothly. My fiancé is a firefighter and it was very important to us to display this in our engagement photos. It was overwhelming how important Amanda made this request when scheduling and shooting our photos. It felt as though this was just as important to her as it was to us. Amanda was dedicated to getting practically every shot on my wish list and even added her own creative flair with her talented eye and by bringing additional props. Her attention to detail is impeccable and her willingness to go above and beyond is shown through the talent of her work. As a current client, I continue to follow her work through social media and I am also frequently in contact with her. I have, hands down, chosen the PERFECT photographer to capture this once in a life time moment in our lives and have made a great friend along the way. I am looking forward to working with her again on our big day and I would highly recommend her as a photographer for any life event, big or small.

I came across Amanda's photography after she shot some engagement pictures for my nephew and his fiance. Amanda and Jordon came out in a major snow storm and took the most beautiful pictures at the Philadelphia Art Museum of the prosposal. My nephew did not think she was going to show up because of the weather, but she came.... I lost my job back in December and I was getting married in April of 2015. Due to this unfortunate situation I had to downsize my wedding and all the extra's as well. looking for a photographer for my wedding to accommodate my new budget was not easy. Everyone photographer that I phoned was coming in so expensive and did not want to work with me on pricing. I had then decided to cut cost altogether and have a family member take my photographs for me and that would be that. Then my nephew said, "try calling Amanda". The only thing you have to lose is a phone call. So I did. After all the frustrating calls reaching out to photographers, calling Amanda was the best phone call I have ever made. Right from the start, Amanda was so king and understanding with her words and thoughtfulness. She genuinely understood my situation and told me "she would always try to help couples who need it, and provide them with images of their special day". Well she followed through, more than I have ever expected. She worked within my budget and gave me the most beautiful pictures of my wedding day that I could have ever asked for. memories that will last me a life time. Amanda & Jordon showed up at the church and immediately started to take images of my veil, flowers, our rings, the bridal parties. and as I walked down the isle I could she her in the distance capturing every image she could, going to one side of the church to the other without resistance. Her imagination went the distance and my images were truly amazing. Amanda & Jordon, I want to thank you so very much for photographing my wedding on your wedding day... many thanks for that alone. Thank you for working within my budget and as promised delivering the most amazing photographs that I could ever ask for. Your friendly nature and your smiling ways made me feel very much at ease and comfortable with all that was going on, I knew that everything was going to be fine once I saw you. You & Jordon are fantastic and anyone reading this review, I give Amanda & Jordon 100 stars! Not only for the amazing photography, but for being a humble human being with sincere appreciation for others. Thank you again for everything. You truly are one of a kind!

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I went to school for psychology and while I loved the people I was working with, I didn't love it as much as my hobby, photography. I was booking clients and weddings and so forth and it brought me SO much joy, and my clients loved what I gave them. So I began what is now a 6 year journey to owning a successful and wonderful business I adore.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    While weddings and portrait work is the bread and butter of Swiger Photography, I have done it all. We currently have a contract with McDonald's restaurants, I've shot parties ranging from sweet 16 to 100th birthday to fundraisers for national organizations like Action Aids and Habitat for Humanity. I have photographed headshots for real estate agents, actors/actresses, business professionals and even whole offices. We've done fundraisers for Chevy, Colors, HAVEN Youth, The William Way Center, and many others. Whatever you are looking for, I am certain we can help you!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    -Love who you hire. As someone who hires other vendors for my clients, I know that if you don't like the business they run or the people you'll be working with, its not going to go well. -Trust your gut. If you have an uneasy feeling, often its right. -But the flip side of that, have realistic expectations and trust us too. We know what we are doing (or we should!) and if we care about our business, we will care about making you happy. We know what works or how to bring ideas to life, so use us and our experience! -Be honest. If you are looking for something specific, only want a certain look, or have a strict budget, tell us!! We can't make you happy if we don't know!
