Mandy Ford Photography

I'm propelled by salty air and a chocolate-chunk dog named Ted, and I yearn for warm, sunny afternoons filled with laughter. We have lived all around the country together since Chris and I were married. I love to travel a lot and am always eager to learn new things. I spend my days unwinding in our quaint surf shack on the Southern California coast when I'm not photographing love stories. I've been called bright and vibrant by some, industrious and attentive by others. I've always been attracted to the past. I enjoy watching people. While a good narrative is being told, I experience its emotion. Because of my natural intuition, I can see those stunning moments of intensity coming, record the reactions swiftly, and catch those once-in-a-lifetime events on camera as they happen. I feel quite strongly, and I'm acutely aware of the shift in energy we all go through just before you're swept away in the emotional tornado of your big day. I think that how you look in the finished product is just as essential as how you feel during the photo shoot. My top objective is to help you feel at ease, at ease, and relaxed while being photographed so that we can capture real moments that you and your loved ones will enjoy forever.
