After fourteen years in the wedding industry and photographing hundred of weddings, I've learned what inspires me most.
The weddings that stay with me are the ones where every guest is someone you couldn't imagine celebrating without. Where there's room to slow down, be present, and soak in every moment.
Because of that, I now accept only a limited number of weddings each year and focus exclusively on intimate celebrations. This allows me to give each couple the attention and experience they deserve while photographing the kinds of weddings that inspire my work most.
I'm drawn to couples who values authentic storytelling, meaningful relationships, and a relaxed experience over perfection. If you're planning an intimate wedding, elopement, backyard celebration, or a small gathering with your closest family and friends, I'd love to hear what you're dreaming up and see if we're a great fit.
"Hiring Anna was the best decision and I cannot wait to have her photograph more special moments in our lives in years to come!"
Wow, I truly cannot speak highly enough of Anna and her beautiful photographs! Working with her was an absolute dream - she listened to our vision for engagement photos and our wedding, she made us laugh and feel incredibly comfortable in front of her and the camera, she has such a calming presence that fit perfectly into our special day. We love all of our photos and know that they will remain classic for decades to come. Hiring Anna was the best decision and I cannot wait to have her photograph more special moments in our lives in years to come!
"Working with Anna was one of our best decisions during our vendor selection process!"
Besides her photography talent and skills, Anna's positive, always-smiling energy is exactly what we needed to calm our nerves on our big day. Anna's extremely passionate about capturing your special day and cares tremendously about the couple she's working with and was genuinely interested in making sure we have beautiful images that chronicle all the events of the day…Working with Anna was one of our best decisions during our vendor selection process! We now forever have an amazing way to remember the best day of our lives!
"We LOVED Anna!"
Jessica & Alejandro
I cannot express how delightful it was working with her and how happy we are with our photographs. She was somehow everywhere at once capturing all the important moments. I loved that from the get-go Anna had great advise to offer and shared lovely details about her own wedding and experiences. She took time to really try to understand the feelings and emotions we were looking for on the day and she captured it better than we could have imagined.
"Simply said, she is magical. "
Anna made the entire process fun, comfortable, and a total adventure. Her unique ability to capture a balance between nature and her couples is unparalleled. She completely understood us as a couple, and was always looking for an adventure to bring us on, thus making her shoots comfortable, fun, and unique. On our wedding day, I actually cried when she showed up to the venue, because I was so excited to see her and knew that as our friend, she would be able to comfort us during our first look and photos. All of our guests also fell in love with her personality immediately. She is the best investment in your forever memories that you can make. We are sad for many reasons that our wedding is over, and one of them is that our time with her (until our next life event) has finished!
"Anna's fun and friendly personality and warm approach made us comfortable"
As two more shy and introverted individuals, we thought being the center of attention and photographed all day seemed a bit daunting. But Anna is a natural! Anna's fun and friendly personality and warm approach made us comfortable during our engagement shoot - so when the wedding day came, being photographed was no big deal to us! She does a wonderful job capturing special moments and emotions, which is what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. Finding a great photographer is a must to help remember your special day and we are grateful for the memories that Anna captured for us.
“Anna is simply incredible!
She is warm and outgoing, a total sweetheart. Anna got fantastic shots and had a great eye for backgrounds and lighting - the photos are wonderful. I was so happy when I got the pictures back to see how many amazing shots she got of all the decor elements I had poured my heart into, while still getting great pictures of our guests and all the action. It was like she was in five places at once (Anna is actually a magician).
"You are amazing!"
Our families, bridal party, friends, everyone could NOT stop talking about how amazing, precious & impressive you were! I’ve been in several weddings and no photographer has ever been such a perfect balance of personable, creative and efficient.
