Anna is simply magical! You can't go wrong with hiring her to capture your special moments, and our review is long overdue. We originally reached out to Anna to photograph our City Hall wedding. Due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, we had to postpone everything until we got a handle on everything. Anna was patient, kind, and empathetic as she provided the details for rescheduling our photoshoot. By the time we were ready, we were in a new chapter of our lives and had to adjust the photoshoot accordingly. Anna was superb in accommodating us and captured a series of incredible shots (nothing short of a miracle considering how camera shy both of us are). We ended up ordering a Lite Album of our photographs, and it's one of our most cherished possessions. We're incredibly grateful for Anna's organization, artistic vision, and her reassurance throughout the whole process. She really made the whole experience seamless, and we'd love the opportunity to take family photos with her the next time we are in NorCal! read more

Anna Wu Photography - Our newest family member with our album! - Photographers Near Me

We had the perfect experience working with Anna on our surprise engagement photo session. Thanks to Anna and her experience with engagement sessions the whole process ran very smoothly. Coordinating the surprise proposal while not making my partner suspicious and at the same time being sure everyone was in the right place at the right time without being able to directly communicate in the moment takes some planning. Anna scheduled a zoom call a week before the proposal and walked me through all of the details including clear instructions (with google street view screenshots and coordinates) and tips on how to position myself and my partner to get the best lighting. We absolutely love our photos. Anna really captured the emotions of the moment and also the beauty of the scenery. She really has an eye for capturing beautifully artistic shots and we are impressed by the quality of the photos. We were able to capture many awesome shots from all of our favorite spots on Stanford's campus. read more

Anna did an amazing job capturing our family portrait with such professional techniques and an incredible eye for detail.

Highly recommend! read more

Anna was great and listened to what we wanted for our maternity shoot. The photos were lovely and she was great at communicating. Would 100% use her again in the future. read more

We are so happy to have worked with Anna for a small, family-only wedding in the Botanical Garden in San Francisco this spring. We were grateful that Anna was available despite our reaching out only a month ahead of time, and she was prompt and professional in her responses and her work. We completed a questionnaire and had some helpful communication about our goals beforehand. On the day of the wedding I remember feeling that things were moving so quickly. We spent an hour with Anna before our ceremony for photos of the two of us, and after that session I felt so much more relaxed. Neither my husband or I are particularly comfortable in front of the camera or good at posing, but Anna did a great job helping us to feel at ease and making the time go by quickly and painlessly. Her professionalism was also evident in helping us wrangle our family members for family photos afterwards. Anna has an eye for photography and clearly has technical skill when it comes to editing. She did a fantastic job capturing all the colors in the gardens and making us look great without the product feeling over-edited. Since receiving and sharing photos with family and friends, many of them have reached out to tell us that the photos were so beautiful it made them emotional. This is all with much thanks to Anna, and we'll be glad to call her again if the occasion arises. read more

Anna Wu Photography - Grooms kissing on an outdoor bench in a garden - Photographers Near Me

Anna Wu is the well regarded choice photographer for engagements, weddings and family portraits--she's one of those IYKYK picks. Her experience is deep and her talent is ripe. Anna photographed our wedding which meant we spent the best day of our lives with her. And we have zero regrets. She guided us through the experience and helped us feel at ease. Our photos are fantastic. They are stunning on our walls! Her style is personal, intimate, meaningful. She helps tell the story of you, and not a cookie cutter wedding. I love that about her. There's depth that makes this more than a commercial pursuit or a production project. There's a bit of artistry too. Anna is a sharp business woman too. You're supporting a AAPI woman owned by going with Anna! She is based in SF but will and has traveled for you! So don't let geography limit you--you want Anna to capture the moments that you get to relive the rest of your life!! Note: you do not get your digital files from her until you are done purchasing your album and prints. So, don't drag your feet like we did! read more

Anna's photography is incredible. She took our wedding photos and we added a portrait session after the wedding. Just one epic photo alone by Anna would've been worth the whole portrait session. She took so many amazing shots, it's hard to choose which photos we want to have printed to put up around our home. I highly recommend Anna for your wedding day or even if you simply want the best photos ever of you and your loved ones. Anna gives great direction for people to look 'natural' and not overly posed. When she notices discomfort (like being cold on a windy day and having hair blown in your face), she engages in easy conversation and keeps the photo session going. With a fairly short turnaround of a few weeks, she shared a blog post with some photos and descriptions of the wedding day. The blog makes for very easy sharing with friends/family. I was surprised about the details Anna remembered in passing conversation with us during the wedding day that she included in the blog post that added to our relationship story. Anna's attention to detail and her eye for aesthetic appeal are excellent. read more

It was an absolutely pleasure working with Anna Wu and her team during our June 2024 wedding. Anna was extremely professional and easy to coordinate with leading up to the wedding. During the day itself, Anna was a blast to be around, kept a tight schedule, and consistently went above and beyond to help with whatever was needed during the wedding (double sided tape for my dress, keeping the timeline of the day on track, bustling my dress, Advil, etc.). Anna also gave great direction to us, the wedding party, and family to ensure that she got the most out of each shot. The sneak peak photos are more than I could have ever dreamed of, and I am so excited to see the rest of them! I cannot recommend Anna enough! read more

My family has worked with Anna three times in the last four years and we LOVE her and her work. We initially hired Anna to photograph our engagement, and then our wedding. Now, three years later, we asked her to photograph us with our newborn daughter. Anna is personable and welcoming, making you feel at ease from the moment you meet her. She has the perfect combination of professionalism and friendliness. Her photography speaks for itself. Anna is especially good at "surprise and delight" with her extra touches in her process. A few examples: - Anna always sends a sneak peak photo within a day or two of the shoot. - within 1-2 weeks, Anna posts a small collection of edits on her blog for you to see and share - when you receive the final photos and/or USB stick, they come in beautiful packaging. You're missing out if you haven't worked with Anna! A read more

Anna Wu Photography - Photographers Near Me

Anna photographed our wedding and engagement photos. She was professional, straightforward, hard working and gave good direction. She hustled to get the best shots, including, during the engagement photos, working to move other photographers out of the way to get the best angles. Her style was lovely, very light filled. Would recommend! read more

Anna did an amazing job capturing all the special moments of our wedding day. Any wedding day can be quite stressful... but when Anna and her crew showed up, their calm but energetic presence immediately put both my husband and me at ease. Every interaction, from booking her photography services to receiving the final digital and print photos, was incredibly smooth. A few weeks prior to the big day, Anna scheduled a call to walk through the detailed timeline and our "must capture" shots. I had some ambitious goals given the day's rather tight schedule, but Anna made everything happen! During dinner reception, we had an opportunity to do sneak off for an intimate bride and groom only photoshoot on the balcony as the sun was starting to set. Anna directed us on how to pose and made this portion of the evening so special and whimsical! If Anna is available for your wedding date, book her now! read more

Anna is incredibly talented and my fiancé and I couldn't be happier with our engagement (surprise proposal) photos - to say we love them is an understatement. From the moment we reached out, Anna was responsive and friendly. During the shoot, she made us feel at ease, even though we're not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, and captured the absolute DREAMIEST shots! Anna has a great eye for the best backdrops and locations (we did our shoot at Land's End/Sutro Baths in San Francisco). She will guide you if you don't know how to pose, while ensuring the photos look natural and not forced. We are so grateful that Anna helped us capture this important milestone and can't recommend her enough! Thank you Anna! read more

Anna was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding! She shot our engagement session in addition to our wedding, and both times she captured stunning photos that exceeded our expectations. Anna is very easy to communicate with and has excellent attention to detail. On the day of our wedding, Anna kept us so at ease and we felt as if we were spending time with a close friend. She was so calm, patient, and joyful to spend time with. We are still in awe of our wedding photos as well as our photo album, they are photos that we will cherish forever. If Anna is available for your wedding date - book now!! I cannot imagine working with anyone else on such an intimate day, and her portfolio is well representative of the remarkable photos and moments she captures. Anna will be our go-to for any future photo session needs! Thanks for everything Anna - you more than rocked it from start to finish and we are so grateful to have found you for our wedding!! read more

The best part of working with Anna was how easy she made the actual proposal day. I found all the details she provided, including her scouting of potential proposal locations and what I physically needed to do (i.e stay on my knee longer, positioning myself well for the photos, hiding my bag), to be extremely helpful. Anna's attention to the fine details in both the pre-proposal planning and on the actual day really show how much she cares about capturing the absolute best photos for her clients. I was also pretty anxious about the photo session afterwards. Both my fiancee and I are pretty shy in front of a camera and so the idea of a photo session afterwards was pretty nerve wracking. However, Anna made the entire session super easy and extremely fun! We really appreciated how she led us to various scenic locations and gave us easy to understand instructions on how we should position ourselves to not look awkward! We were having such a great time that before we knew it, the photo session was over! We had the best time working with Anna and the photos were absolutely breathtaking! We would 1000% recommend working with Anna, she's the best!! read more

We wish to thank Anna for her professionalism during a particularly busy time in our lives. Between me moving countries and organizing a quick wedding, Anna provided us with timely and great advice about how we should go about photos for our elopement. She was flexible with some of our requirements, which took a lot of stress out of planning our big day. On the day, Anna was on time with a cheery demeanor that continued across the two-part photo shoot we organized. She knew exactly where to go in SF City Hall for the best shots, and how we should pose. Just as we were moving toward our second destination later in the day, she had already staked out Land's End and was quick to inform us that the fog rolling in would impact our photoshoot. After a quick conversation, we were able to change location and we have some absolutely fantastic photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Anna, you went above and beyond, and we wouldn't have hoped for a better outcome. Thank you again. read more

Anna is phenomenal!! From the first time I reached out via email, to the delivery of our photos, she has been a joy to work with. We hired Anna to photograph our engagement and wedding, and not only were the photos stunning, but she made the process super simple, seamless, and fun! We were flying in from out of state to get our engagement photos done in CA, and Anna picked the most beautiful spot along the California coast. She is wonderful, we cannot recommend her enough! Thank you, Anna, for everything! :) read more

The photos Anna takes are GORGEOUS! She photographed our engagement photos (with our big doggo) and was able to get the perfect shots we wanted due to her experience. She knew the best SF locations and the most natural poses that would translate well across the camera. If you are looking for dreamy, romantic photos, Anna is your gal! read more

Anna Wu Photography - Photographers Near Me

My partner and I truly enjoyed working with Anna for our Wedding Ceremony. She is very communicative and easy to work with. I appreciate Anna's patience in working with my non-English speaking family members by helping to arrange them for the group photos. We had our wedding ceremony and photoshoot at SF City Hall, which can be a very hectic and loud setting. However, Anna was able to make this experience a pleasurable and enjoyable moment. We are very pleased with the quality of the photos and the special moments she was able to capture. I would definitely recommend her to photograph your wedding day! read more

We've worked with Anna multiple times since our wedding and we've basically made her the exclusive photographer of our family! She is the best! She's talented, professional, and amazing! She's able to get some adorable shots of our newborn baby when he was in the full-on derpy phase. And she was able to get amazing shots of my extended family (7 adults, 2 three-year-olds, 2 one-year-olds, and an eight-month-old). How is it even possible for 12 people to look at the camera at the same time? DUNNO but we have the photo proof. You'll be in good hands with Anna. She does it all with an easygoing attitude and is always up for a challenge. read more

Anna Wu Photography - location: Lake Temescal photo by Anna Wu Photography - Photographers Near Me

We had an amazing experience with Anna! First, she was very kind ahead of the session and flexible with us leading up to the day of with a location change. Once we met her, we immediately felt comfortable. She is laid back but provides guidance throughout the shoot. Despite high winds (hair was flying everywhere!) and fog, she was able to capture some beautiful photos and moments. I highly recommend working with Anna if you are looking for engagement or family photos! read more

We were looking for a photographer to take our daughter's senior photos at Muirwood National Monument, and we found Anna. Anna took the time get to know our daughter and understand what she was looking for. We didn't feel rushed during the session and had a great time. We are very happy with the photos and would love to work with Anna in the future again if opportunity arise. Book with her! read more

Anna is wonderful to work with! We took our first family photos, during COVID, with a toddler who's main goal was to run directly into the Bay. She managed to capture lovely photos, despite the chaos! (But also captured the "this is real life with a kiddo" side of things too!) Very professional, good with kids (and adults), and COVID-conscious. Highly recommended! read more

Anna was so great to work with. We had a small impromptu wedding (hello COVID) and we were so lucky that she was available for us. She was so responsive throughout the booking process. Day of, she knew the right moments and the right details to capture. We didn't have much to work with since it was a backyard wedding but she really made the most of what we gave her. Couldn't recommend her enough. read more

Anna truly is a must-have for engagement or wedding photos. Her eye for the perfect lighting and composition is unmatched and helped us capture all of the tiny details of our big day. Additionally, she made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera even though we were nervous, and was so helpful and attentive to details that the pictures turned out PERFECT. She gave us a sneak peek almost immediately, and we couldn't wait to share her pictures with our friends and family. Our wedding photo album was also beautifully put together and a keepsake we'll treasure for years to come. read more

Anna is a fun and amazing photographer to work with! She made us feel comfortable during our session and directed us well. We loved how our engagement photos and City Hall wedding photos turned out! Would definitely recommend her. read more

Anna really captured what my husband and I hoped our wedding day would be like. She knew the ins and outs of SF City Hall and got stunning shots of us at the Botanical Gardens. In between all the photography, she also knew how to work with the different members of our group, going from parents to the various siblings and significant others who joined us to make sure no one was missed in our pictures. She was always on top of it with a positive attitude, making working with her a fun experience on a very busy day! read more

Anna Wu Photography - Photographers Near Me

My fiancé and I were traveling to the US for vacation, and just 2 months before we were due to fly, we decided to do an engagement shoot in San Francisco. I had randomly Googled for local photographers, and as soon as I came across Anna's portfolio, instantly knew I wanted her to do the shoot. Thankfully she was still available! From the get-go, Anna was incredibly easy to work with. She responded within a day to my initial outreach (and all subsequent emails), and very patiently answered all my questions on her rates and packages, gave multiple suggestions on locations to do the shoot and logistical considerations, which was incredible helpful for a foreigner. Anna was just as personable in person, which made it very easy to work with her. We thought the process would be awkward, but it was just the opposite. We just followed her guidance and trusted in her talent to get us the perfect frame and lighting! We were also surprised by how quickly all the photos came back. Within a month, all photos were edited and sent to us. Needless to say, we love the photos as well! read more

Anna went above and beyond for us. During the booking process, she was very responsive and accomodating. She flew across the country to do a surprise engagement photoshoot for me and my fiance, and it went very smoothly. She captured the moment perfectly and the photos look great. Would absolutely love to work with her again! read more

We really enjoyed working with Anna for our city hall wedding photos! She is very professional and sincere, guiding us through the whole process delightfully! Quotes, how to book a date, questionnaire for styles, payment, wedding day reminder, what to expect afterwards, she anticipates our questions and communicates actively, even replied promptly during her vacation! Anna also made it easy for photo poses during the wedding day! She directed us where to stand and how to gesture. It all went well and felt natural. Overall we are very happy with her! Now we look forward to the photos! read more

Anna photographed our wedding in Sonoma this summer and also did engagement photos for us. My husband and I truly enjoyed working with her. She was very flexible and easy-going when we had to reschedule our engagement shoot due to rain, and then when we ended up doing it on a rainy anyway. She also created a lovely photo guestbook from our engagement photos. Our wedding photos turned out beautifully. Anna is especially talented at capturing the details and special moments of the day. The only thing I wish we had done was spend more time on family portraits...these photos felt rushed due to the timing of our wedding day and didn't turn out to be quite as amazing as all of the other photos. All in all, we (and our families) are very happy with our photos and will enjoy looking back at them for years to come. Anna is very easy to communicate with. She responds to emails quickly, answers questions thoroughly, and is easy to arrange meetings with. The turn around on our photos was also extremely fast! We loved seeing her blog post with our photos just over a week after our wedding, and the rest of the photos came pretty soon after that. Such a pleasure to be able to relive our wedding day through photos so soon! read more

Anna has a great eye and style. She takes the best candid shots. She's very professional, gives as much direction as we required (we required quite a bit), thinks of her feet to get the best shot, and responds quickly to email/questions. Our engagement shots turned out beautifully. She recommended some places and we landed on lover's lane. The colors turned out were great. She also accommodated some of our cheesy shots. On our wedding day, she showed up early with Lawrence and Rosa, who were equally helpful and able to help with various shots and wrangle friend groups. Anna stayed later than she was planned, seemed to always be at the right place at the right time and continuously offered words of encouragement. We can't wait to see her shots which I'm sure are beautiful! read more

We recently worked with Anna on a family portrait session and it was professional from start to finish. The interface for her client portal is easy to use and her communications were direct and friendly. Her pricing is more than fair for her caliber of work, reputation, and time in the industry. But on to the product. Wow, these are family photos to cherish for a lifetime. They are stunning. She has a great eye for proportion and the impromptu landscape shot she took showed off her technical skill. But we all know that photos are more than technical; they're personal. Anna delivered a set of pictures that were more than artistically beautiful, which they are, but more than that, she has the ability to capture the tender, sweet, precious moments that really matter. We were so impressed with how she maneuvered around our fussy toddler to capture the cutest shots. Anna, in fact, is such a pro that she busted out the "Baby Shark" song to entertain him on her phone and the resulting shots couldn't have been more beautiful. The icing on the cake, really, is that Anna is as thoughtful and sweet as she is talented. We really enjoyed getting to know her during our time and highly recommend her for your family, wedding, whatever-occasion needs. Thank you, Anna! read more

Anna is a phenomenal photographer!! We worked with her last September for our very small, intimate wedding in Sausalito. Even though we only had immediate family attending our special day, Anna flowed in and out of each scene seamlessly. She captured our wedding day perfectly! We've been very busy in our first year of marriage, so we didn't get to finalize our wedding album until almost a year later! She has been extremely patient and kind. Looking back at the photo album she put together is such a treat. We can't wait to cherish the memories of that day through this album for the rest of our lives. Thank you!! You cannot go wrong working with Anna. We definitely plan to make her the exclusive photographer for our family going forward. read more

Our family has worked with Anna three times now as our family has grown. From our engagement shoot (almost 9 years ago!), to maternity shots, and then recently with our second daughter's first birthday, Anna has helped to capture so many special moments for our family. She is a breeze to work with and is super nice on top of that. The quality of the photos and turn around time is also top-notch, which we really appreciate. I would highly recommend Anna for any event that you may be thinking of! read more

Anna is the best! Usually you shop around for photographers based on their style first. I had a style in mind that appealed to me and her portfolio really shows it. I knew I liked her from the moment I met her. I'm also a creative type and very picky about details. She gets it and I felt like we were always on the same note. She was great to communicate with and was easy from the beginning. I've had vendors that I have had trouble coordinating with but Anna is very open and will work with you on your timeline or anything you need. Anna has an eye for her craft. If you're a creative like me, you worry about all the details and letting go of control because you want things to turn out a certain way. I had basically let go of all of that because I trusted her eye for her craft. She was probably one of our more expensive vendors but we knew we were getting what we paid for. Everything she did and all the photos were always high quality and beautiful. Overall, I had a really easy time working with her and would 100% work with her again. She's the type of person I'd want to be friends with. I can't wait to see the rest of my wedding pictures. read more

If you've seen Anna's portfolio, you don't need anyone to tell you what a talented photographer she is: To echo a sentiment you'll see in every other review here, my wife and I were absolutely delighted by the work she did for our small outdoor ceremony. What you can't see just by looking at our wedding album, however, is how invaluable Anna was to us before she even picked up her camera. Though our ceremony was held in SF, my wife and I live in Germany; planning a wedding from half-way around the world is already a challenge, and it's not like we came in with any experience. From the moment we got in touch, Anna accommodated our needs, patiently answered our countless questions, and provided invaluable advice - it instantly felt like she was part of the team. On the day of, she struck a perfect balance between blending into the background and giving direction. The result is a collection of photos that we will cherish forever. I cannot imagine what this process would have been like without Anna's help and expertise, and I cannot recommend her more highly! read more

We could not recommend Anna more. She photographed our wedding this May. First, we immediately felt so comfortable around her chill but warm energy. We cherished our time with Anna as it felt like my now husband and I just hanging out- that's her magic. We are overjoyed with the finished product. She captured the emotions and joy of the day as well as caught everyone's personality with her lens. She finds incredible light and the photos look so editorial and truly artful. She is so skilled and we're so happy she was a part of our day. read more

In our hunt for a wedding photographer, we were looking for someone who could capture beautiful images while helping us feel at ease in front of the camera. Anna fit the bill perfectly and was such a joy to work with! She took photos for both our Seattle engagement photoshoot and for our Berkeley wedding, both times navigating various obstacles along the way including unpredictable weather, pandemic rescheduling, and taking photos with a less than cooperative pup. She is detailed orientated and highly knowledge of wedding logistics, at the same time maintaining a great attitude and flexibility for those unpredictable wedding day mishaps. As camera-shy people, she helped us feel comfortable, providing gentle redirection and encouragement to help us look our best. We were beyond thrilled by our wedding photos and can't wait to share them with everyone! read more
