 What can I say. Working with Anne & Joe is a wonderful experience. They know their job well and enjoy it at the same time. Never a huff from either one! Their finished product is artful! Not just photos. ~Keith

 Anne is wonderful to work with. Not only a very talented photographer, but fun and easy-going. She was also amazing at working with my toddlers! Thanks to her we have been able to preserve their youth and enthusiasm with the most amazing images of them, which our entire family treasures.

Historic Events ~ Wedding & Event Planning ( Annapolis - Baltimore - Eastern Shore )
 The first time I had the oppertunity to work with Artful Weddings was at the Cloisters Castle for a quaint Autumn Wedding. I was immediately impressed with Joe's style and calming personality. He was stealthy in the way he moved about capturing the ceremony and reception images without being drawing attention. I was even more impressed when I saw the way the images were formatted on-line. I would be delighted to work with Joe and the Artful Weddings team Again.

 I have been working with Sachs Photography since I opened my business here in Baltimore 12 years ago. All I can say is- Wow!! I never cease to be amazed at the vision both Anne and Joe have, and their attention to detail is unparelleled. Since they both love flowers, you can be sure they will capture your bouquet and other floral details from your event with fervor and artistry! They are simply wonderful photographers and very awesome people, to boot! Call them, you will be so happy!

Tips and Advice
 Suggestions to Make Your Day the Best
 
 
 
~Here are some tips to help ensure that you get the best possible images and that your day goes smoothly ~  
 
 
  • Write a detailed schedule with your wedding professional. In addition to formal activities, be sure to include when everyone should be ready; when and where photos will begin; when you need to leave for the church, park, etc.
 
·        Plan to meet with us (your photographer) two to three weeks beforehand. This is a great opportunity to make sure that you have allocated enough time to get the shots that you want. Plan to bring a copy of the day’s schedule, a list for family group portraits and, if possible, a contact sheet for the principle professionals involved (wedding coordinator, caterer, musician, officiant, et. al.)
 
  • Make sure everyone in the bridal party (and families) knows when to be ready and where photos are to be shot. The rehearsal dinner can be a good place to remind them.
 
  • If no one objects, we recommend that the group portraits be taken before the ceremony. This then allows everyone to relax, celebrate and enjoy the reception.
 
  • The next best time to take group shots is immediately after the ceremony, when everyone should still be immediately at hand and distractions can be kept to a minimum.
 
  • Bring a small “emergency kit” of safety and straight pins, needle and thread (white, black and the colors of the bridesmaids’ and mothers’ dresses), aspirin and make-up bag with powder/blotting paper for faces.
 
  • Have a cooler with water and juice (clear colors, not red!) in your car, limo or trolley. A small snack can help, too, by staving off hunger pangs and headaches!
