We've done two mini sessions with Anna and had positive experiences both times. She is energetic, kind, can get the kiddos to smile, and most of all, we love her photography! Thank you, Anna, for capturing these precious moments! read more

Anna is an amazing photographer who instantly puts her subjects at ease and is a baby whisperer! Can't recommend her highly enough for any of your photography needs. read more

I met Anna when she shot my best friend's wedding. She was professional, made everyone feel comfortable, and was great at keeping the timeline moving long (a key quality for a wedding photographer). When it came time to book a session for our annual family photos, I knew exactly who I wanted! Anna was so wonderful when capturing our little family. We have a toddler, so even a 30 minute mini session can be challenging when your kid would rather roll in the dirt and explore the different types of sticks than say "cheese" for the camera. Anna went above and beyond with catching his attention and making sure we all had a good time. My favorite was all the different animal noises she busted out to get our son's attention...Anna, you're a champ! Our photos were beautiful and I can't wait to share them on our Christmas cards! read more

Anna is incredible! Year after year we are blown away by the photos she takes. We are so grateful for the memories!

We booked Anna for our fall mini session. It was very easy to get in touch with her and book our session. She made our session very lively and brought a lot of energy to it. Our little one, who is usually camera shy and wont pose or smile had all his teeth showing in the pictures. Thats the biggest compliment I guess. The pictures were beyond perfect!! It wasnt too posed, it was just right and it was truly us. Thanks for capturing us and I will cherish these pictures. I highly recommend her!! read more

Anna is so talented! She did photos for our little family of 3 - my husband, 5 month old daughter and myself. We let her know that we love the gold rolling hills of Mt. Tam and she knew just the spot to capture our envision! Everything about the experience with her was positive. She was flexible on changing the date due to high wind advisory, she gave helpful tips on what to wear, she was so good with my daughter it made the shoot that much better! She kept our daughter happy and smiling the whole time- and that's saying a lot since it was her bed time! We will definitely be going back to Anna for all of our big life events. Thank you again, Anna! read more

We loved working with Anna! We couldn't be happier with the family portraits she took for us to capture our baby's newborn phase. She took lots of photos with different poses and locations in our home so we had plenty beautiful images to choose from. read more

Anna photographed our wedding and most recently our newborn when I was two weeks postpartum. When we decided we wanted to have a newborn session, there was so question that we would ask Anna to do them. She makes photo sessions so relaxed and easy. It's just like hanging out with a friend. What could have been stressful was actually very fun. Since Anna has a baby of her own, she knows what works best for babies and families. We are so pleased with the finished product and will definitely choose Anna the next time we want family photos. read more

We worked with Anna to do our newborn photoshoot, just 2 weeks after our baby was born! We were nervous to do this while I was still recovering and with an energetic dog running around, but Anna made us feel so comfortable. She is a calming presence yet has great energy and is just so easy to work with. Most importantly, her photos are gorgeous! We can't wait to work with her again. read more

Anna is the best! Going into wedding planning, I knew that photography was something super important to me, and I am so happy we found Anna through our wedding planner. She took stunning pictures of our wedding day and our engagement shoot a few months prior. She has such a joyful and calming presence and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Anna managed to capture exactly what we were feeling in each special moment. My friends and family also cannot stop singing her praises which is a testament to her personality and her professionalism. Anna is incredibly positive, talented, and all around wonderful to have the opportunity to shoot with. She was pure joy to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough.You will not regret including her on your special day! read more

Anna came recommended to us through a friend of a friend and we couldn't be happier to have used her! I was looking for someone who did lifestyle photos with an emphasis on natural light and she was right up our alley. We did our newborn photos with Anna a month after our 2nd was born. She had to wrangle 2 set of grandparents and a rambunctious toddler and she did it with grace and ease! My toddler is usually quite reserved around new people and she brought out a side of my toddler that I have never seen before!! He was such a ham for the camera and he loved every minute with her. Anna was incredibly sweet, patient and efficient during the session. We captured so many different photos I actually ran out of combinations/ideas. Of course, the most important thing is the photos themselves. We couldn't be happier with the results. In fact, my husband said these were the BEST photos we've ever taken of our family. Her site is incredibly easy to use and order photos, I can't wait till they go up on our wall. Thanks for capturing such wonderful memories for us Anna! read more

Anna is the best photographer I've ever worked with..by far! First off...she's a really nice, down to earth person. So we had such a good time hanging out with her. Second, she comes prepared..gets all the right shots and guides you along really effectively. We did a family shoot with our slightly fussy 9-month old and she brought so much energy and got really incredible shots. Third, she's an insanely talented photographer. I'm having a hard time choosing just a few that we want to print because we love them all. I can't wait to work with her again! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Anna Marks Photography! We recently took family photos with Anna, and the images she captured are true treasures. Anna was incredibly easy to work with - highly communicative and absolutely delightful in person. She has a skilled eye at scouting locations, gets a great variety of shots, and edits in a way that gives timeless images. She made us all feel at ease and like ourselves! Her ability to capture our almost-1-year-old's attention was impressive to say the least :) We will truly cherish our photos for a lifetime, and are already looking forward to our next opportunity for another session with Anna! read more

Wow Anna is so talented! She photographed our wedding and what an amazing job she did. She has a warmth to her that made my husband and I feel so comfortable. She had an incredible way of telling you what to do and how to pose, but still making it feel natural and fun. And she's so freaking nice! It's hard not to smile and really enjoy the moment. She was also so professional, organized, and easy going. It was the perfect combination for a wedding photographer. She brought her assistant (and husband) who was equally warm and fun. They make a perfect pair! They were somehow always right in the moment but not intrusive at all. She really has an eye for good pictures and settings and was able to come up with some great shots on the fly. And then the pictures came back and I was blown away! They were absolutely stunning! She had a way of capturing the feeling of the day and the magic of getting married. I'm absolutely obsessed with our pictures and so so happy Anna was there to make my memories more tangible. She's really helped me relive the day over and over again! read more

Anna is an amazing photographer! She recently did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She is so professional and really cares about your style, comfort, and time. I was so impressed and got many compliments about the photography. She let us add extra hours at the last minute and worked around our hectic schedule the months before the wedding. She sent us an adorable wooden.box engraved with our names and 50 of her favorite prints with a matching USB that was also engraved! It was so unique and special! Thanks anna I will defiantly be calling you for any photos I need in the future, and I would recommend her to any of my friends! read more

My husband and I sat down to write our wedding vendor reviews and were just speechless when it came to describing what Anna has meant to us during this entire wedding season. Simply said, she is magical. Not only do we consider her our friend, but she is also a personal hypewoman, calming presence, and incredibly talented photographer. Her unique ability to capture a balance between nature and her couples is unparalleled. There are several photos where the ocean or redwood trees seem to be the star, until you look at us and notice that she simultaneously captured a secret moment between us. To be honest, we were so nervous for our engagement photos (and thought we would be awkward), but Anna made the entire process fun, comfortable, and a total adventure. 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 was there with a hair clip, applied bandaids to my blisters, laughed/smiled with us, and was always somehow sneakily there when I turned around. Our guests (even those outside of the bridal party) commented on how amazing our photographer was at being present and in the moments with all of us. 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! read more

Anna has been our photographer for 3 sessions - 2 newborn sessions in our home, as well as a family mini session - and I couldn't recommend her more highly. We just received our most recent photos from a newborn+family session with our newest arrival and our 2.5 year old and I am beyond happy with them! She always makes our now-toddler (and us!) feel so comfortable and captures really special moments of our family. I especially love the candids! Anna has a daughter so she knows how to get the littles to open up, and she's vaccinated and very covid-safe. read more

Yet another year of amazing family photos thanks to Anna! She is AMAZING with our 5 year old who is typically super shy. It's hard narrowing down which photos to print since they are all so good. Anna is professional, responsive and simply a delight to work with! Thank you, Anna for capturing my little family's smiles in such beautiful light and settings. read more

Anna is amazing!! Her patience, professionalism, and sense of humor were really appreciated while we took family photos with a squirmy 6 month old! Most importantly, she made the process FUN!! We are blown away by the photos she captured, they are a true treasure for a lifetime. Being a mom herself, she came prepared with tools to capture our baby's smile and kept us all giggling along the way. I highly recommend Anna! We absolutely love our photos, she is incredibly talented! read more

Not only are Anna's pictures absolutely stunning, but she is such a pleasure to work with. Our families are in awe of how beautiful the photos turned out. They are of such beautiful quality and something we will cherish forever. Anna is truly talented at what she does. She captured the day in such an amazing way, and there wasn't one photo that I wished we had that we didn't get. She thought of everything! At our wedding brunch, our guests would comment on the beautiful wedding, and the second thing was almost always what an amazing photographer we had! Our bridal party absolutely loved Anna. My best friend booked Anna for her upcoming wedding after our wedding! Anna is professional, outgoing, fun, and has a graceful way of getting all the shots while not disturbing the moments. She is also excellent about getting people into great but natural positions. I personally want my photographer to tell us what to do a little during things like family portraits to ensure we get great shots, and Anna did just that and in a very friendly and natural way. You can tell right away how much Anna loves what she does. She makes every effort to ensure your pictures are beautiful and makes the process very fun. I was blown away by what a beautiful job she did styling the bridal details. She has an incredible eye for catching things I never would have thought of. Also, the website format that you receive photos in is very organized and user friendly. I cannot recommend Anna more highly. She is simply the best and we cannot thank her enough for documenting our wedding day so beautifully. read more

Anna is an excellent photographer! She recently took portrait/newborn photos of my one month old son and family photos for us. On the day we were scheduled for the photos it was overcast and the light in our house was terrible, and my son was going through a growth spurt and extremely fussy and cried most of the day, I was so worried that the pictures weren't going to turn out well. But they were AMAZING! She somehow managed to work with the light she had and capture the most adorable photos of our baby in between his little tantrums. Anna has a unique ability to capture the perfect image and then further add to it with skillful editing. She also edited and delivered all of the photos via her website in a very fast turnaround. And viewing and downloading the photos was so easy. I would highly recommend Anna for any family or baby photo shoots! read more

Anna is THE BEST! Words cannot even describe how much I enjoyed having Anna as my photographer for my wedding and engagement shoot. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera (something we aren't used to) and above everything else, she was SO MUCH FUN! Our wedding party and guests at the wedding were all raving about her. Her attention to detail was amazing and I LOVE LOVE LOVE every single picture from our wedding. I wish I could get married again so I could hire Anna again as my photographer. ;) read more

We had a great experience with Anna as our photographer for our engagement photos! We decided we wanted to have our session at Lands End. Anna knew the location well and was able find great spots throughout the park. During the shoot her positive energy made us feel at ease and most importantly brought out some great photos! She has a great personality and made the whole process very fun and carefree. Post-shoot she was very responsive and prompt with getting us the finished photos. Her prices are also very reasonable and well worth it. We are very happy with how everything turned out! It's too bad we are having our wedding in an entirely different state. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for engagement photos. read more

Anna is amazing. She photographed our wedding in August and really don't think we could have picked anyone better. She captured everything beautifully, yet during the wedding I never even knew she was there. Since we wanted to take photos beforehand, I had asked her to pick some locals since I figured she knew better than me and she totally delivered. We got some great SF landmarks in our photos, but were not surrounded by crazy crowds. Everyone that has seen our pictures has commented on how beautiful and natural they are. She is also very easy to work with and is a great calming influence on what can be a crazy day. We got all of our photos back about 6 weeks after our wedding, which from what I can tell after comparing with others is pretty good. And that's even with her getting married two weeks after us. I can't recommend Anna enough and really feel like I got a great deal after seeing the finished product. read more

Anna is both a wonderful photographer and a fabulous person! Fun to work, providing a great service. Her turnaround on projects is fantastic! After meeting several photographers for our wedding last summer, We finally found Anna and just clicked immediately. She's a warm, genuine person who turned out to be lots of fun to work with, in addition to presenting us with amazing pictures! As well as the wedding, both my wife and I have used Anna for our respective website headshots: one finance related and one creative, so two completely different looks were required. Amazing!! Anna, can't thank you enough. We're so glad to have met you and happy to recommend you to future clients. Several of our friends are already making inquiries and booking her, so you'd better be quick! read more

Anna Marks is a truly talented photographer and has a very kind and social personality that makes any photo shoot an amazing experience and the photos even more memorable. Anna takes the time to understand her subject matter, their likes and dislikes, and makes the individuals feel comfortable in front of the camera. She took photos at my Bridal Shower, Rehearsal Dinner, and Wedding, and captured so many moments that would have been overlooked if it not been for her keen eye and relationship she had built with my husband and I. She has a creative eye in all that she does with photography, editing, and design. I would highly recommend Anna for any photo shoot, weddings, engagements, profiles, and special events. You will not be disappointed!! read more

Anna is an amazing photographer and incredibly fun and easy to work with. Anna photographed our wedding and our engagement photos and they are all absolutely stunning. What we liked best was her creativeness and her ability to absorb our vision into her photography. Although we wanted tradition wedding photos, we really wanted our photographs to capture nature and the intimacy of our wedding day. Anna was able to do both. For our engagement sessions, she found three perfect outdoor locations for us (we didn't have to do anything--you know how busy that time can be). For our wedding, she took wonderful candid and posed photos and found the perfect field for us to have a intimate photo shoot before joining our guests at happy hour. She excelled at large and panoramic photographs of our guests and has the ability to bring a second photographer to capture the moments that she may miss. Our family and friends were completely at ease during the group shots and had very positive feedback. I would highly recommend Anna for wedding, engagement, family, children and business photography. read more

See all

Anna was amazing and did an incredible job with our engagement photos! Anna worked with my fiance so that she was already at the place of our engagement before us, and she was able to capture our entire engagement. She was very patient and easy to work with. Anna was so great to work with and made us feel completely comfortable as we took photos around the Land's End area. The photos came out beautiful, and we are so thrilled with all of them!!! We highly recommend her and her work. read more

Anna is simply incredible! I feel so lucky that Anna was recommended to us to photograph our November 2016 wedding in Napa Valley. From the first phone call to make sure we'd be a good fit, I knew Anna was going to be so much fun to work with. She is warm and outgoing, a total sweetheart. She had great location suggestions for our engagement photo session a few months later. She made us feel as comfortable as possible during the e-sesh, with the just the right amount of guidance for posing, and kept the mood very light and fun. Those first photos were great, and we were even more excited for her to photograph the big day! The day of our wedding, Anna came to the suite where the girls were getting ready and was like a stealth photo ninja. She beautifully captured all the special detail photos I had requested, staging everything better than I could have imagined, and somehow still managed to do things like squirrel 10 bridesmaids dresses and my wedding gown outside for gorgeous photos in the natural light without me even noticing! Anna got fantastic shots of all my girls and had a great eye for backgrounds and lighting - the photos are wonderful. Anna then did a great job capturing our first look (with some dreamy veil shots to boot) and kept everyone on schedule moving over to the ceremony. She was so efficient getting the family photos done, and everyone was raving later about what a great photographer we had - and that was before they even saw the pics! She then proceeded to get some absolutely breathtaking ceremony photos, and did an awesome job capturing the sunset vibe of cocktail hour. 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 of the cocktail hour. It was like she was in 5 places at once (Anna is actually a magician). Despite the busy holiday season right after our wedding, Anna got our photos back to us so quickly, with a "sneak peek" to tide us over and the full set soon after. She made it super convenient to download and share our photos, with an online album and a super chic thumb drive as well. The first three Christmas cards we received in the mail were Anna Marks pictures from our wedding, and more than one friend changed their profile picture immediately to one of hers once we posted them - major "likes" :) I would highly recommend Anna Marks Photography to anyone seeking beautiful, high quality photography that will perfectly capture the romance and excitement of their big day. Thank you Anna, you're the best!! read more

Terrific family experience. Anna has a wonderful way about her, made our family feel immediately at ease. Her pictures were lovely, she even got our dog (who is a very cute but tough to get to cooperate 14 year old) to pose with no coaxing, it was incredible. Anna also managed to have our 10 year old son being a total ham. Could not recommend her more highly. The product speaks for itself...we are very happy with our pictures. read more

Anna is amazing! She took my senior portraits and portraits for a bunch of my friends! I have received many compliments on my photos and I am very happy with how they look! Anna was so kind and helpful. She gave me great tips on how to style my outfits, hair and make up. We got so lucky with the weather and spent the day exploring Rodeo Beach, an old barn and a beautiful spot near the Headlands. Anna was so fun and sweet, she made it fun and enjoyable. The pictures came out so great and I am very happy. Anna is an amazing photographer with so much talent. Anna's prices are extremely affordable and her photos are beautiful. I have recommended her to all of my friends and I will definitely be calling Anna again! read more

Anna was simply wonderful and captured some of the most precious moments of my family in the outdoor portrait at Crissy Field and Presidio. My two daughters (1 and 3 years old) are very shy, but Anna kept them at ease with her great personality. The girls laughed, jumped and danced throughout the session, very much to my surprise. We really liked the photos and could not wait to share them with family and friends. In addition, we had to cancel the portrait twice in the last minute (both because our children got sick), and Anna understood our unique situation and was extremely nice to work with us to reschedule. We felt very lucky to pick Anna, and have already recommended her to friends. read more

Anna is a fabulous photographer. We absolutely loved the engagement and wedding photos she produced for us. She is extremely talented, super nice, and very easy to work with. Anna made us and all of our guests feel super comfortable while taking photos. She was also very helpful and accommodating when we had to change our venue last minute due to the Sonoma fires. read more

I highly recommend Anna as a wedding and engagement photographer. Anna took beautiful engagement photos for us. We wish we could have used her as our wedding photographer as well, but we are getting married overseas! Although my fiance and I had never participated in a photo shoot before, Anna made us feel at ease. She had scoped out several different locations for our shoot, and I really loved all of the scenes and locations she picked out for us. She quickly turned around the photos, and we could not have been happier with the final product. The photos came out beautifully. read more

Anna is absolutely incredible. In addition to being a phenomenal photographer (we couldn't be more happy with our wedding photos), she is exactly the person you want by your side on the big day. She was complimentary at all the right times, reassuring when I needed reassuring, the perfect balance of compassionate and professional. read more
