I repeatedly hear that they've never seen wedding photos as spectacular as ours, but that's merely because they haven't seen Annie's other wedding photos!!! :) When I think of wedding photos, I generally think of stale, static photos that are easily interchangeable by switching out the bride and groom, a few flowers, and colorful dresses. Annie's photos don't fall into this category! She is not a "wedding photographer" the way you generally think of wedding photographers. She is a brilliant photojournalist who will generously apply her artistry to your wedding. After first discovering her work, I can't stop looking at her pictures! I'm addicted to her blog to see all she's doing. They say a picture's worth 1000 words. Hers, on the other hand, leave me speechless!!! Check her out at http://anniexphoto.com

Stephanie has been our photographer and honestly just our person for over 10 years. She's shot our…read morewedding in San Francisco (we live in Truckee), maternity photos, annual family portraits, and professional headshots and photoshoots. She remembers when we're due for photos before we do and just reaches out and that's just who she is. She literally talked me out of skipping a photographer at our City Hall wedding. I'm so glad she did. Those photos are everything to us. As an interracial same-sex couple, finding someone we truly felt safe and celebrated with was huge. Stephanie has always been that without question. Our family wouldn't trust anyone else. Working with her is easy as she is always on top of everything from scheduling to communication to edits. She doesn't skip a beat if the wind picks up, snow turns to rain or the alpenglow never appears as we experienced this last year in our family shoot! She rolls with it and makes everyone around her feel calm and I would never give another name or question the recommendation!

We've been lucky enough to have Steph photograph both our engagement and our wedding, and we can…read morehonestly say she is something special. For our engagement shoot, she made magic out of the space we were in. When the weather shifted mid-session, she didn't miss a beat--she helped us lean in, and the result was some of the most spectacular photos we've ever seen. She even went above and beyond to include our old (and rather temperamental) dog, creating the sweetest memories that we'll hold onto forever. For our wedding, Steph was incredible. She has this beautiful presence--she's fully there, warm, grounded, yet somehow moves so effortlessly and quietly that she captures moments no one else would have noticed. She is as creative and artistic as she is kind and easy to be around. For us, she became immediate family. The photos from our day are filled with so much heart, soul, and beauty. Both Steph and her work are true treasures.

My husband and I hired Ruthanne for our elopement in September 2019 in Napa. We are so happy we…read moreheld out for Ruthanne. Given it was literally just the two of us at our elopement (plus our pups) we wanted to capture the day in all the magic that it was. And Ruthanne did just that. Our elopement was at the Carneros Resort which was a 180 from the normal adventure elopement photos she usually takes. Ruthanne did SUCH an amazing job. I absolutely hate having my photo taken and after the first 5 minutes with Ruthanne I felt completely at ease. Our photos truly capture who we are together and aren't overly staged typical wedding photos. With that said, I feel like all of our photos could be in a vogue magazine. They are perfect. Would love to have Ruthanne take our photos again for our next big life moment!

I can't say enough good about Ruthanne. After following her on Instagram for a few months, all I…read morewanted was to shoot with her! Thankfully the opportunity arose and I was able to book an adventure session. Going in, we had no idea what to expect. But wow she was not joking when she named it that! We were hiking all over rocks and bushes covered in snow, falling and laughing. We had some truly incredible views and I got an amazing sneak peak just hours after we shot. Ruthanne was easy to get along with and was extremely knowledgeable about the area. I am so thankful that I found her and hope that we can work together again!

Booking and payment were super easy online, and communication was excellent the whole way through. We told him we got married 25 years ago on a beach somewhere on the Nevada side of South Lake Tahoe (the exact spot is still a mystery!), and when he suggested Zephyr Cove Resort Beach, we knew he was our guy. I'll admit I was more nervous than my husband, but Daniel immediately made us feel comfortable. He's easy to talk to, fun, and knows exactly how to guide you through natural poses without anything feeling fake. We were laughing (actual laughing tears!) the entire time. We had the best time. We just got our proofs back, and I am beyond thrilled. His work is beautiful!! We started at 5pm and he got all the best of the area! Unreal!! You 'd never even know it was one of the windiest days ever! I can't wait to see the full gallery.

He helped us figure everything out ahead of time (shot list, flow of the day, etc) and was incredibly professional and fun the day of the wedding.

His photos were so incredible and he really did capture every special moment of our big day without being intrusive or making us feel rushed. For us, that was the perfect balance: great photos from a photographer who seamlessly blended into the scene of the day.
