About Mandee Johnson

Mandee Johnson

Photographer

Technically, my job title is “wedding photographer/editorial photographer/commercial photographer/director/author/live comedy and scripted TV producer,” but that doesn’t exactly fit on a business card. It may be a mouthful, but I’m damn proud of my multihyphenate life; it’s exactly what makes me such a skilled photographer. Each role continues to push me — in lighting, posing, client relations, creative concepts, leading a team, managing the complexity of live events, and more — and benefits my approach to wedding photography.

Here’s what that means for you: not only do you have a chill plant lady with impeccable taste in movies and a wicked sense of sarcasm for a wedding photographer, but I know how to tell an incredible story. Using bold portraits, unsuspecting detail shots, and images of the action-packed dance floor, I’ll weave together a final gallery that tells the narrative of your wedding with honesty, artistry, and emotion.

  • Capture the Day's Vibe, Not Just the Brides

    •Verified review
    •Shelby K.•Jan 14

    We initially chose Mandee because her portfolio really stood out for two reasons. First, she had worked with lgbtq couples before, which was important to us. Second, she captured the overall vibe of weddings in a way that felt authentic. Her photos weren’t just about the perfectly posed shots (though we did have some of those too!). She really excelled at capturing us, our guests, and all the little moments throughout the day. The photos felt real and true to who we are, not staged or stiff. One thing we were a bit worried about was only having one photographer. Mandee offers a second shooter, but she assured us she could handle everything solo—and wow, she delivered! It honestly felt like she was everywhere at once. Every important detail was covered, from us brides getting ready to candid moments with guests, and she somehow got our stressed, excited dog to behave perfectly for a photo. Mandee was also exceptionally punctual, showing up early to scope out the venue and prepare. She was organized, calm, and gave us great direction while still letting us be ourselves. We’re beyond thrilled with the results and would absolutely recommend her to anyone! Mandee is an absolute pro, and we’re so glad we chose her to capture our day!

    I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed the experience of having Mandee Johnson as my photographer and how she brilliantly captured our wedding! She was great when working alongside our planners and scheduling out what needed to happen and when, she worked with any changes we had, and made sure we as a couple were taken care of and happy throughout our big day. On top of that, she captured the most magical images a gal could ever ask for. She is organized, doesn't miss a moment, and is simultaneously an incredible human that helps make sure it all goes smoothly. Her combination of documentary and editorial is just our taste and felt super organic, authentic and artful. She had scouted all these killer spots for our breathtaking portraits beforehand (had it all mapped out) , she dealt with the toasty Palm Springs heat with a smile and was just bopping around the reception all night capturing every perfect moment and meshing with all of our guests so seamlessly. I cannot recommend her enough!! Worth every single penny and more.

    I hired Mandee after seeing her work and falling in love with her way of beautifully capturing emotions, places and events from creative and intimate perspectives. She was a calming presence throughout the day, assuring a nervous me that I was killing it, while simultaneously taking truly stunning photos. Everything was run on time, she took all pictures on all families' lists, and there was no drama. Finally, the pictures were just gorgeous. 5 stars! Book her if you can!
