I've known for years that I have wanted to hire Sarah to do the photography for my wedding--when I…read morefirst saw her work, I instantly fell in love with her style. By her own admission, Sarah works much more in a photojournalistic style; she focuses on telling a story through her photos, capturing moments and images that are both evocative and beautiful. I also appreciated that her portfolio was more muted and subtle with light and color. I personally find that many photographers are much too bright, even over-exposed, and I didn't want to have to worry about that. Going into the wedding planning, I knew that photography was going to be the largest single thing my wife and I were going to spend money on, so our expectations were high. Despite those high expectations, Sarah still absolutely blew us away! She was professional, communicative, and extremely easy to work with. Going in, Sarah was clear to ask us questions and get clarification for what we wanted from her. Even though she was travelling from doing a wedding the day before in another state, she was punctual, timely, and ready to go. She was perfectly unobtrusive during all the key moments of the day, yet managed to capture them beautifully. She took requests with grace, and even prompted us for photos during the reception that we were exceedingly grateful to have. She took to heart the requests we had made prior to the wedding and followed through with them with precision and care. More than anything else, I was extremely impressed with her vision and direction. Her experience spoke volumes--she was able to guide my wife and I with clarity and directness, while never pushing us or making us feel rushed. Consequently, we have an absolute abundance of really unique photos in a variety of backdrops and settings, all displaying us in our day of bliss. And with the whirlwind that is the wedding day, it has given us so much joy to look through them all again and relive all those moments. I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!

There is no doubt in our minds that Anna is the best in the business…read more First of all, you cannot beat the price for value you get. She puts her heart and soul into the work she does for you on your engagement photo shoot and the big day. There is constant communication leading up to the big day and never are you worried that she won't get the "perfect shot". Anna's photos are above all else, she has an eye for it. One that you cannot find around here - I dare you to try. She has done our first photo shoot when my wife and I 'came out', she shot the moment that I proposed to my wife, she did our engagement shoot and of course our recent wedding. She always has a TON of photos for you to pick from, perfectly edited, and a 'sneak peak' ready within 12hours of the shoot! Final wedding photos were delivered via email 4days after the wedding!! Name a photographer who does that?! (My cousins all waited a YEAR for their final photos with another photographer). Anna and her work is priceless. You would be lucky to be able to book Anna for you wedding and you would be a fool not to try. Anna, thank you for catching all of our beautiful memories so perfectly, we cannot thank you enough and we can't wait for our next life adventure for you to catch! Love, Mrs. & Mrs. Mason

Incredibly grateful for Anna's work! We had reached out for her to be our wedding photographer…read moreafter a recommendation and she encouraged us to consider doing engagement photos as well. We hadn't really given them much though but she blew us away with the shoot. Our wedding isn't till September but the engagement photos were so ridiculously epic and beautiful that our families and friends are positively gaga for more pics and are incredibly excited for our wedding. That's because Anna and her crew aren't just top-notch photographers with all the right equipment, education, and years of experience. I think one of the keys is that Anna has an immediately contagious passion for the art and is great at encouraging you to just have fun while she captures the unplanned moments that are the ones that resonate the most. Highly recommended!

I've been trying to find words to describe Winnie and her work…read more.. It's tough. Simply stated she's amazing. Seriously take the time to look at her accolades- they speak perfectly to her work! We've used her for milestone birthdays. The home birth and newborn of our daughter, holiday sessions and more. She is INCREDIBLE with newborns, toddlers, mamas who want their hair to look good and dads who have a wife that MAYBE have their husband do a few too many family photo sessions! Have a toddler or baby who screams half the session? You'd NEVER know it by the photos she gets!!! She's worth every penny and then some, for the highest quality photographer in the area, while also being flexible, patient, honest and reliable.
