My husband Cody and I worked with Emily to capture our elopement at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. Emily is amazing to work with! She is very approachable and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are not professional models, but Emily made us feel like we were! She is super friendly and made the photoshoot experience really fun. She helped us pose and look our best. She also knew the courthouse grounds well which was helpful to us as we came from out of state. We are very happy with our photos! It's hard to choose our favorites because we love them all! It was important to us to capture the details of our day since it was just the two of us attending our civil ceremony. Our family is thrilled with the quality of the photos. We would recommend Emily for photography and hope to work with her again soon!

Emily is a must hire for your photography needs. Our venue has worked with her countless times and always receives the best content back from her and her team! They are professional, friendly, and essentially the best team to hire for your next event. You won’t be disappointed! We always look forward to having Emily at our venue.

We had a great experience working with Anna Delores Photography! Our wedding photos and engagement photos are INCREDIBLE! Emily was wonderful to work with. She was our main point of contact leading up to the big day and edited our photos to perfection. We had so many questions (seriously, so many) and she answered every single one with patience. Emily is professional, experienced, so easy to talk to, and delivers such gorgeously edited photos that we will cherish for years to come.

Our lead photographer was Alyssa. We cannot sing Alyssa’s praises enough! Alyssa is so incredibly talented, so easy to get along with, and so much fun to work with. Before booking, she agreed to have a video chat with us so we could get to know her. We quickly realized how calming, easy going, and experienced she was and booked immediately. We then met with her for our engagement session and had such a fun time! She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She is a hype woman extraordinaire, alway encouraging us with compliments! We knew she was the perfect person to have beside us throughout our wedding day. And we were right! We so enjoyed having Alyssa there on our big day. She kept things running smoothly and on time, all the while making us feel so comfortable. She seamlessly guided us, the bridal party, and our family through all the photos during the day. She is a total professional and worked alongside our videographer in perfect teamwork (which is so important).

We were absolutely blown away by both our wedding and engagement photos! Alyssa captured STUNNING photos. It’s obvious that she has years and years of technical knowledge paired with a very gifted eye for beautiful and meaningful images. Alyssa is so talented and we’re so thankful that she captured these important moments. Emily & Alyssa, we truly cannot thank you enough!

MY GOODNESS, how much time do you have to read this review, because I could sit here and talk all day about Emily and her absolutely incredible team. I will do my very best to keep it concise as I know how valuable time is for my fellow brides :)

My original wedding was planned for June of 2020, and I *magically* found Emily and Anna Delores via Pinterest. I was never a huge fan of wedding photos until I came across hers, and I immediately knew she was the girl for us. Just one conversation with Emily and I was sold - she is so incredibly professional, timely in her responses, made me feel at ease despite the mountain of work ahead of me, and even made recommendations to me about other vendors to use as I had mentioned I didn't have those secured just yet.
Of course, we all know what happened as of March of 2020. As I tried my hardest to hold out, by early May we could see very clearly that the wedding we had planned would no longer go forward. While our other vendors negotiated with us on our cancellation, Emily went above and beyond and told me that we could keep her reserved as our wedding photographer, and we just needed to let her know the new wedding date once it was confirmed. Even though I hadn't the faintest idea when that would be, I knew Emily did not have to do that for us. Just a glimpse into what a special human being she really is.
Shortly after my original wedding date, my dad passed away. This put my wedding on hold indefinitely, up until October 11th of this year. Throughout the 2+ years we waited, Emily became a good friend of mine, and the kindness and compassion she showed me during that time was so special and meant the world to me.
As soon as we picked our second, new wedding date, we reached out to Emily immediately to ensure she was available. Not only did she make the trip up from Santa Barbara to San Francisco, but she was just as excited as we were that the day was finally here! I must also note that while we added on coverage time with her, she did not charge us anything additional for keeping her on retainer, despite all the time that had passed.
The day of the wedding, Emily and her incredible assistant Malaya were absolute angels. They made the day so fun, helped us get over any nervousness, and their pictures are absolutely incredible. We got a sneak peek last week and my family and friends are still talking about them. It felt less like having two professional photographers at our wedding and more like we had two friends there that took the best pictures of us we could have asked for. I did not want them to leave and only wish I could relive our wedding day to spend more time with these remarkable women and their talent.
Rest assured, you won't find a better photographer and you'll walk away from your wedding day with a new friend, if you're as lucky as I was. Emily and team, thank you from the bottom of my heart for absolutely everything and for being the BEST!

Working with Emily was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day. She made us feel so comfortable and helped us loosen up, resulting in the most incredible images I've ever had of us. Our families and friends couldn't stop raving about how much they loved her too. We got our preview photos in just a day and cannot stop flipping through them. Do not hesitate to hire her (or through her new brand Emily Loeppke)!

Contracting with Anna Delores Photography was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Anna Delores came to us through referral and experience – she shot my best friend’s wedding in 2019. At the time, owner Emily joked that she wanted to be there to photograph me and my boyfriend’s wedding whenever we got married. Fast forward to 2022 and she did just that! As the fearless leader, Emily is a detail-oriented and experienced professional. Before I get to raving about her eye for design and photography skills, I have to call out how much attention she pays to the entire experience. She fully understands the production quality of an event and that collaboration with your other vendors is key to a smooth outcome. She was in constant contact with us throughout the process and offered just enough tidbits of advice so as not to be overwhelming, but also to get us to think practically about our wants. Now, to the photos and services. Absolutely flawless. She made us look like straight up celebrities. Even after receiving the preview photos less than one week after our wedding date (yes ONE WEEK), my jaw hit the floor. It’s true what they say about your wedding day going by in the blink of an eye. I am SO grateful that Emily and her team were there to capture those moments for us so that we could relive them. FYI, we also hired Anna Delores on an hourly basis to shoot a portion of our rehearsal dinner and welcome party. It was so nice to have some seriously gorgeous, professional shots of friends and family that are not of me in my wedding dress. Emily is literally family now – plus she’s cute as a button. We hope to pay it forward and have her shoot my sister and her girlfriend’s wedding some day, too!

Emily and Alyssa are INCREDIBLE! They are both so helpful, kind, responsive, fun, and truly felt like friends! My husband and I were so comfortable and knew we were in good hands. Our pictures captured the day perfectly and we are blown away by how beautiful they are!! Anna Delores Photography is truly the best!! Emily went above and beyond to make sure our wedding planning process was seamless, offered resources, and was quick to respond to any questions we had. Our pictures turned out phenomenal!

We had Anna Delores photography for our wedding and could not have been happier! They were so kind, professional, fun, and took the best photos ever! My dad says they have to photograph my sister's future wedding! You cannot go wrong with hiring Anna Delores! Request Beckie!!

Emily and the Anna Delores team shot our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. Having now had three different occasions working with Emily under my belt, I can say with utter confidence that she's talented beyond measure, classy and ethical in her business doings, and someone you will grow to consider a friend quite quickly. On your wedding day, you spend a ton of time with your photographer so it's crucial that you enjoy having them around. Emily kept me calm, gave me so much direction, entertained my countless questions, and even kept me laughing through each phase of the day. She exceeded all expectations in every possible way. First, her talent for shooting exquisite photos is unparalleled. She not only takes incredible portraits and candids of the bride, groom, wedding party, families, and guests but she is a QUEEN of detail shots as well. It was really important to us that she captured all of the design and details that went into creating our "summer soiree" and boy did she deliver. The photos are vibrant, artistic, and timeless. Second, she genuinely cares about you and your event. She is so communicative and goes the extra mile to prepare for your day by collecting tons of info on your event for several weeks leading up. It's very apparent that she wants to understand the uniqueness and priorities of your day so that it comes across in the photos. Finally, she even maintains her meticulousness after the wedding. She provides both teaser photos and your final edits extremely quickly. Be sure to order a custom album too because she does an INSANE job curating that as well. Once your big day is over, all you're left with are the memories and photos. So be sure to work with Anna Delores so that you love your photos as much as we do. I can't wait to work with Emily again as soon as possible!!!

Emily is hands-down the absolute best in the business. She has a gift for photography and creates stunning images at any location, in any setting. We had the pleasure of meeting Emily at a close friend's wedding four years ago in Hawaii. All of us instantly fell in love with her work and with her as a person. She brings such a joyous energy to weddings and has the unique ability to make everyone feel comfortable and act like themselves in front of the camera.

So when we got engaged, the first thing we did was hire Emily and her team at Anna Delores Photography. It was the easiest and best decision we made. She, of course, went above and beyond photographing every detail of our event and each one of our crazy friends on the dance floor. She stayed two(!) hours late photographing our wedding because that is just the kind of person she is. She is always fully present and she consistently works hard to capture those special moments. Every single photo we received from our wedding is stunning.

Hire Anna Delores Photography! It will be the best decision you make.
