WHAT COUPLES ARE SAYING
I reached out to Ann ~1year in advanced from my wedding, at that time I had no true direction of the basic “where, when” details. I knew I loved the beach and the water was calling, but I was feeling the wedding pressure of a local celebration with ALL the family, then maybe an ‘after wedding photoshoot at the beach’.
Anyways, months go by and probably 3 months prior to the wedding date, I changed up the whole plan. I added a small ceremony at the beach (on Friday), an a larger reception locally (on Saturday)! I was crossing my fingers and toes that she would have room for the extra day.
Ann was the best and so flexible with this change, she had already scouted the location (at the beach) and had so many Ideas! She was also amazing as a wedding timeline coordinator (for both days!), she created a detailed Itinerary down to the minute and was able to coordinate with the DJ, she has a vast knowledge of local vendors and resources.
She treated us like a close family friend would, making sure we ate food at the wedding and drank water. Making sure we had everything we needed at both locations.
Most importantly she made us feel comfortable, My (now) husband had never had professional photos taken before and Ann made it easy to relax in front of the lens.
She is the most amazing photographer I have every worked with. (Trust me I am particular with photos and who I choose to capture my memories in time)
Also her pictures speak for themselves, they are what photo dreams are made of and I love how she made it fun and relaxing. Granted, climbing up the Cape Kawanda sand dune in a wedding dress with frigid winds swirling around us was a challenge, but somehow Ann made it a magical memory, as if time was standing still and just spending time watching the sunset with my husband.
I love how pictures can say 1,000 words, and capture the emotions and energy of a moment. Looking back at these pictures not only transports me back in time, it instills confidence that I am ABSOLUTELY choosing Ann every single time.
Thank you for the MAGIC, and MEMORIES.
On the day of our wedding, she helped us feel comfortable and confident. Every photo itinerary item was met, and we appreciated her creative ideas while always following our overall vision. My friends and family were also SO impressed with her communication skills and overall process. You won’t be disappointed in the slightest – could not recommend her more 🙂
We had met up virtually with many other photographers before picking her. She was very helpful throughout the planning process, helped with advice on my indecisiveness and helped think of things no one else did day of and during the planning. Not to mention her talent (see attached!!)
I have 0 complaints and only raves about our experience (this is coming from a very type A person who doesn’t usually write reviews). She was amazing and would recommend 10/10. Thanks Ann!
MY STORY
…your lead photographer, elopement + wedding resource and outdoor enthusiast. I photographed my first wedding in the stone ages of 2005. Ten years later I returned to my love for photography after pursuing careers in home remodeling, teaching, geology, hydrogeology… Now I have been photographing weddings + elopements full-time since 2017 and I’m so excited to be here for you!
From helping put together a day of timeline focused on making the most of your unique day to being right by your side helping make it all happen in the moment, while capturing all those magical moments you never want to forget… I am truly here for you. I would love the opportunity to get to know you, your love story and see if I am a good fit for you and your day!
A little about me // I’m a wanderlust nerd at heart and make bad jokes, spout random science info or quote movies on the regular (sorry in advance) // I’ll take sunshine over rain any day // Red Ales or Blondes are my main drinks of choice // Nature, minimalism, glowy sunsets, and real emotion all make my heart happy // My days off include hiking, enjoying good food + drinks with my hubby, or reading a good book. // Griffindor at heart! // Animal lover and don’t get offended when I want to take care of your fur-babies on your day and start treating them like royalty. // My husband and I recently adopted a new kitty-cat, Lucy!
