Amanda Sarah Cherish DeMelo

INTERNATIONAL WEDDING + LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER

My Passion Begins with YOU.

From a young age, my parents recognized that I viewed the world through a unique lens, expressing what I saw through art. As I grew, this natural creativity only deepened, and I continued to refine my artistic skills through my studies in fine arts, both in high school and university.

Driven by a desire to master my craft and expand my creative vision, I attended the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD), later completing my fine art degree at McMaster University. I also pursued a teaching certification at Brock University, ultimately becoming a secondary Fine Art teacher.

Having worked in various mediums—drawing, painting, and printmaking—I realized that photography offered an exciting way to further enhance my artistic expression. What began as a simple hobby quickly evolved into a passionate lifestyle. I found myself photographing every event I could, always eager to capture life's moments. My camera became an extension of myself, and this is still true today—my camera is never far from reach.

Through photography, I am able to authentically document life and tell stories through frames.

Your memories.

Your story.
