About

Hi, I'm Anna.

I'm a heartfelt artist who is quietly passionate about making authentic images of the real you. Driven by authenticity and a love for storytelling, I love capturing the real moments. For more than a decade, I've sharpened my expertise for documenting people and crafting meaningful stories to be enjoyed for years to come.

I live in in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband and pug. Before moving to The Bay, I spent several years documenting weddings in Portland, Oregon and continue to split my work between California and Oregon.

Couldn't be happier

Anna did an absolutely amazing job photographing our special day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone if they were looking for a photographer for anything. She was professional, responsive, and very flexible/understanding during this interesting year.

We had to switch from having our wedding in San Ramon to Aptos, she didn't have any issue with it at all. She showed up to the venue an hour or so before the scheduled time to walk the property and figure out where there might be some cool spots for photos. We are glad she did, because some of our favorite photos were from a spot we didn't even know was there! During the whole time she was so easy going, and made shooting with her very comfortable. Great personality and incredibly talented, we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. Thank you so much Anna!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! Anna is an incredible photographer, amazing to work with, and insanely awesome!! I highly, highly recommend Anna for your engagement photos, wedding photos, and any other life event photos. We found Anna online as she had photographed a different wedding at the venue we chose. Anna is really personable and it was easy to decide that we definitely wanted her to take our wedding photos! Anna was very accommodating for our engagement shoot ideas and locations. We live in LA but took our engagement photos in SF because that’s where we first met. It was fun to share our story with Anna and watch as she was creative with different angles/framing shots/etc. For our wedding, we wanted a second shooter for a few hours – Anna arranged for the second shooter who followed her lead. Anna directed family and friends to make sure that we got all the photos we wanted. I honestly can’t recommend Anna enough!! Our photos turned out beautifully and I absolutely love looking through them all! We received over 700 photos, all of them edited less than 2 months after our wedding. Thank you Anna for being AMAZING!!!!!

Anna was one of my favorite vendors! She made it incredibly easy to communicate with, was so flexible, professional and made my husband and I feel comfortable during our engagement shoot and captured so many special details one our wedding day. We had some last minute add ons and she was very accomodating. She came recommended by a co worker, and once I saw her work knew I had to book her - such beautiful photos!

Anna was perhaps my favorite part about my wedding (besides getting married!). Anna traveled back to Kansas to do our wedding, and I'm so glad we made that decision. Anna is wonderful at taking candid photos. Even when she has you pose, they look so natural. She's excellent at capturing personalities - some of my favorite photos from our big day are the ones where she caught our friends goofing off, because that really shows who they are!! There are so many good photos to choose from, I honestly don't know how I'll pick what we hang up in our house. I was also totally comfortable with her. I can't recommend her highly enough!

I’ve researched/considered at least 50 photographers during my vendor search. As for most brides, the photographer is one of (if not THE) most important part of the wedding. It took me over 6 months of reviewing albums, portfolios, blogs, and prices to finally find a photographer whose style I absolutely loved with the best value and best quality of work. I must’ve asked her a million questions before the wedding and she was always so patient and helpful. I can’t think of one thing that I disliked about her or her services… not even a little. She was so wonderful to work with on the day of the wedding. She’s so patient and kind to everyone… there were times where I WISHED she was meaner (haha!!!) because our wedding party was dragging their feet getting to the picture location (oh which by the way Anna went and scouted out for us the day prior). When we got the photos back I was speechless… EVERYTHING exceeded my expectations. It’s more than just pictures, it’s ART. It seriously does get you a little emotional. (I may or may not have cried a little watching the preview she sent me…) Anna is truly amazing and the best all around!

Anna is absolutely wonderful to work with! We could not have asked for someone who was more kind, helpful, responsive to our requests/desires, and flexible to work with. She is extremely professional while also being personable and she delivers fabulous results. Our photos are beautiful, and we couldn't have enjoyed the experience working with her more. Absolutely recommend her for any photography needs you have!

Anna was an absolute dream to work with. Her photos are beautiful, she is so kind and non-intrusive, super patient, and very responsive. I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

I started writing this review months ago and just never felt like I could find the right words to describe how much we LOVED working with Anna Jaye. She completely exceeded our expectations as a photographer. We'd scoured the web searching for photographers and are so pleased that we decided to go with Anna. Her photos communicate exactly what we felt on our wedding day and she truly tells a story in her work. Her photography is so genuine and so beautiful. My mom called me in tears after seeing the preview of our wedding day; she couldn't believe how well a photo could capture the emotion of the day.

Anna's quiet, confident demeanor made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and it shows in the pictures she took. My husband's grandma couldn't stop talking about how well our photographer 'snuck' around and was able to capture the entire day without interfering in the precious moments. We couldn't be happier with how all of our photos turned out...both the engagement session and the wedding pictures are a total success. They are so incredibly special and we will cherish them forever.

After seeing our photos, my sister decided to book Anna for a family/newborn session. She's multi-talented, too, because the pictures of the baby are probably the cutest things on the planet (although...I could be a little biased about my adorable niece.)

I would 110% recommend Anna to anyone searching for a photographer for engagement/wedding pictures, family portraits, events or anything else! She's the very, very best.

Anna Jaye is simply amazing. She has an amazing eye and captured both our engagement photos, my bridal shower and our wedding day perfectly. Her reportage/editorial style is exactly what I was looking for. She brings an authentic approach to photography that is very refreshing. And, she is such a sweet person to work with. My family members kept commenting on how wonderful our photographer was on the day of the wedding. I HIGHLY recommend her!

We couldn't recommend Anna any more! She's a fantastic person, super creative, super smart, and very, very sweet. I was very impressed by her very prompt responses via email- always responded within 24 hrs. She really listened to me when I talked to her what kind of wedding we wanted, and I think she really captured what the day was all about in her photos. My husband is not a guy who likes his pictures taken (like most men, I'm assuming), but she was able to get him comfortable in front of the camera in no time. I think what helps is that she's not at all obnoxiously peppy or acts like a hyperactive cheerleader; she's just calm, cool, rolls with the punches, and knows how to take a great picture.
