I do not condone bashing others work as we all started somewhere.  However, I will say this: the work that Amanda is presenting as her own is a vast departure from the images she has taken.  THIS is why I do what I do, if someone books her based on these beautiful images they will be in for a disappointment.

I was sent this photographer about a week ago but had to sit on it so I could edit a wedding since my actual paying gig has to take precedence.  For those cocking your head and wondering what these ads mean then if I say this doesn’t pay me… well ads bring me at most $30 a month.

SO I have started a Patreon.  I’m not sure what will come of it but it’s there if you want to support me and keep your ad block on.  Even if you can’t support at this time a share of it would be fantabulous!

Update 9/15/2018:  She took all of the images down from her Facebook that were posted here.  She replaced them with images that were also stolen.  When it was pointed out those were stolen she replaced them again with more stolen images.  Finally it appears since she can’t figure out how to use her own images she took her website and Facebook down.

I have a feeling there’s more stolen images in their portfolio but I’m not finding the original sources for everything.  Seems like he hit up ISPWP or WPJA for a lot of these. Facebook’s sources tend to be Instagram so a lot of those I think may be stolen but I can’t find sources for.

Some of these images appear across all platforms.  I only am showing the first source but if you are one of the original photographers make sure to check across all the links as many show up on the website, facebook, instagram and wedding wire.

Can you tell it’s mini session season?

DO NOT USE OTHER PEOPLES PHOTOS!

IS IT THAT HARD?

Sigh.  As with Descendants Photography, she’s been told by photographers she’s stolen from in the past not to do it but she continues to do it over and over.

In site related news, I’ve started a Patreon to support the running of this site.

I’ve been told that this photographer has been schooled many times about why you can’t and shouldn’t use photos to promote your work that isn’t your own yet here we are.  Sigh.  She claims for some of these images she’s just showing the gowns that can be used but in the model calls that’s not very transparent so here we are.

There are a lot of images that I can’t source due to there not being a source and/or the watermark being so pixelated it’s impossible to read.

In site related news, I’ve started a Patreon to support the running of this site.

Update 8/21/18: She posted a few times in the comments of the Facebook Post stating she had permission but the admin of the page the bulk of the images came from said she did not.  Furthermore she’d been told in July to stop using the images but continued to do so.

I realize this isn’t many images (8 in total) but she’s not only advertising with these images but also placed her watermark on top of them.  Not to mention the fake stories about the session that didn’t happen…

In site related news, I’ve started a Patreon to support the running of this site.

Update 8/19/18: Gopika has removed her Facebook page and blamed a hired assistant.
