About

Photo after photo is one special moment after the other – not only do we think the images are wonderful, others have complimented your work like this: stunning, incredible, artistic, the most beautiful wedding photos they’d ever seen. Undoubtedly, we enjoyed the end results, the photos, but we also enjoyed working with you. You were casual, friendly, and warm. After meeting you once, I felt I’d known you for years! Even my guests mentioned what a warm and friendly presence you had. Others noted how you blended into the event and were unobtrusive while working. Thank you for capturing our day perfectly. ~Alex

Anne & Joe immediately puts everyone at ease. We think that this is probably one of their greatest gifts as photographers. The time between our first two meetings was almost a year, and they remembered every want and need that we had articulated as though it was yesterday. She really, really listened to us. You know when your guests take you aside to tell you how wonderful your photographer is, that you’ve found a gem. We feel lucky to have had her share our wedding day. ~ Caitlin & Robert

We loved working with Anne and her team! We got married in August 2016 and when we met with Anne in January, we knew she was the right choice! She immediately responded to our initial inquiry, was able to meet with me at her studio on short notice as I was in town, communicated with us throughout the entire process, and delivered incredible photographs and a beautiful album! Anne is warm, relaxed, and patient (especially with our large, disorganized bridal party!). She made the process very easy and it was a pleasure working with her! Thank you, Anne!

I don't even know where to begin! We got married November 4th, 2017 in Baltimore, MD and Anne Sachs and her team were incredible and so easy to work with. Anne was such a calm presence on my wedding day and managed to take the most beautiful wedding shots without feeling like you had a camera in your face all day. She got every single requested family photograph in addition to the most beautiful candid photos. She was able to seamlessly navigate our wedding party and family members in order to get every single requested photograph. She was creative and always thinking of something new, not just the typical family portraits etc. She was able to shoot all of the beautiful details of the wedding (ceremony and reception space before guests had entered and all of the other details that we spent so much time creating). The wedding day flew by and now I have a timeless collection of STUNNING photos to last a lifetime. My friends and family cannot stop complimenting the photos; they look like they are out of a magazine. Anne and her team are a DREAM to work with, they will get every shot and then some on your special day, while navigating every aspect of your wedding in order to obtain the most beautiful photos. Her entire team is so professional and all creative geniuses in their own right. We were so lucky to have them. Their turn around time is fast and their site is so easy to navigate, even giving you a sneak preview before all of the photos are completed. If my words don't do them justice, just see my photos!

I am so grateful to Anne, Tara and the whole Artful Weddings team for the role they played in creating such beautiful memories of our "Farm to Chapel" wedding weekend. We will treasure the stunning pictures they took forever. They fully capture the joy and love of the day. As I went through the images, each one felt like a story. They caught so many special moments that, although brief, were so precious and significant. The gift of having someone with the vision and talent to capture the day for us so perfectly, to look back on in years to come, was really priceless.

Beyond the gorgeous pictures, Anne and her team were such a positive and supportive presence throughout our wedding weekend. We loved working with them from the beginning to the end of the process. Even when the going got tough (or wet, or squishy), their energy and commitment to capturing the joy of the day did not waver. That, in turn, truly helped carry me through and help me see the beauty and joy, even in the rain and the mud. Getting to know our families, charming the flower girls, and even stepping in and helping hold my gown at some points-- It really felt like we were working with good friends, that we knew we could count on (who just happened to be incredibly talented photographers/artists!). I highly recommend Artful Weddings!

Anne is truly fantastic in every way. At my rehearsal, the event manager at our venue called Anne the "fairy godmother of wedding photographers" - the description is one hundred percent accurate!

From the second we met Anne, we knew that we needed to have her as our photographer on our wedding day. She is down to earth, listened to our desires, and was genuinely fun to work with. The photos that she delivered captured emotion and made me feel like the most beautiful bride.

Anne and her team did an amazing job photographing my daughter's wedding! The composition and coloring of all the shots were beautiful and they had some unique settings that truly highlighted the venue. Anne met with us at the venue and gave some great advice and ideas that we incorporated into the reception. My daughter lives in LA and the wedding was in Baltimore - Anne juggled working with the bride and the MoB beautifully!!!! We highly recommend Sachs Photography, they are true professionals!!

Anne was fantastic to work with. They were so organized in making sure we got all the photos we wanted and even more! Throughout the whole day, we had so much fun and were still able to join in festivities of our wedding....not stuck taking photos the entire reception! My main goal when choosing a photographer was one who would not be in the way during the ceremony, and they achieved that. You could barely see them during the ceremony, but captured some of the most amazing photos! I am still oohing and ahhing over my images!

We got married in July next to the Chesapeake Bay on a very hot sweltering day. But that did not phase the Artful Wedding team who essentially ran the show. They got exactly what we wanted, the photographs were beautiful and the photographers themselves were so delightful to be around that even our guests were raving about how excellent they were. They also thought on their toes. A surprise thunderstorm was blowing in right around the time of sunset. So they grabbed us a little earlier and we got gorgeous photos on the water and the gardens. And then we ended up with amazing photos of the storm!

Anne at Artful Weddings is AMAZING! She is warm, welcoming and not to mention extremely talented at what she does. We've had the pleasure of working alongside her multiple times and she is nothing less that flawless when it comes to professionalism. She is genuine and giving. She loves what she does each and every day and that shows in her work.
