Hi! Thank you so much for being here.
I’m Amanda Santa Rosa Duarte, a Brazilian-born, London-based wedding and family photographer.
In 2020, significant changes occurred in my life. I decided to give up a postgraduate degree in marketing, got married to the love of my life, and then we made the life-changing decision to move to London.
Photography has always been a part of my life and my memories, but it wasn’t my first career choice. After graduating, I worked in the corporate advertising market for a few years until I realized that photography was what I wanted most as a career. I then made the decision to study photography. Time passed, and now, in 2025, I find myself as a wedding and family photographer with ten years of experience. The decision to become a photographer was driven by a significant event in my life: the loss of my father. In the midst of the deepest pain I’ve ever experienced, I found the strength to slow down and focus on what is truly important and meaningful to me.
I believe in the power of love and people, and how many emotions a photograph can evoke.
Recording naturally, with authenticity and capturing the emotion of these unique moments is what guides my work. I feel incredibly honored and grateful for the opportunity to be present and tell each family’s story, delivering moments that they will cherish for years to come.
My work process is discreet and supportive, ensuring you have a joyful day and feel comfortable, confident, and happy.
Becoming a mom has brought me a lot of happiness and an increasing awareness of the present moment. Traveling, cinema, music, and books are significant parts of my life. I could easily call the cinema my second home.
I have a wonderful and cherished family in Brazil, and in London, my lovely husband and our son make it our home.
Nice to meet you,
Amanda S. R. Duarte.
