My husband and I got married this past October and somehow I'm only now writing this review. (Blame it on the holidays!)

We wanted a wedding that was fun for our guests and that looked amazing. Both of us have been to weddings with that huge gap in the middle where the bridal party is taking photos for four hours and the guests have nothing to do. We didn't want that, but we also really value photography and wanted beautiful pictures around the city.

Anni immediately jumped in and helped us plan a first look (which ended up being one of my favorite memories of the day!) and asked us a series of questions to figure out our ideal picture locations and how long they would take.

On the day of, she was wonderful: stepping in when she needed to direct something, but mostly a fly on the wall or making people laugh and feel at ease to snap candids.

We are so blown away by our resulting photos. They're artistic, definitely not your run of the mill say cheese pics. We actually look good in them, too, which is saying a lot since my husband HATES the camera. I have to stop myself from looking at them ten times a day because I feel like they bring me right back to the wedding day.

Anni was extremely professional and responsive from the get go. She set herself apart by taking the time to find out exactly what we were looking for and she was able to help us iron out every wrinkle in the timeline and our dream for our wedding well in advance so that on the day of, everything ran smoothly.

It was so nice to have someone on our side, who we didn't have to stress about at all. On the wedding day she was prompt, friendly, and unobtrusive while still making sure we got the best photos possible.

Maybe my favorite thing about our experience was how excited she was about our wedding. We got married in the country, and she went above and beyond finding the best locations for photos and coming up with artistic ideas even though it was off the beaten path.

We've gotten so many compliments on our photos already! We're only having trouble figuring out what to do with all our favorites because there are so many.

You want a wedding photographer who gets you as a couple and makes those special and quirky parts of you beautiful to other people. This is Anni to a T. From the moment we first met her for coffee, we were taken aback at how laid-back and unobtrusive she was for a wedding vendor (c'mon- we all know how pushy the wedding business can be). Anni quickly broadcasted that she was not there to make us into anything we weren't or fit us into her mold of what a good couple is supposed to look like in pictures. Instead, she just let us talk and she began the relationship of getting to know what we represent. After we took our engagement pictures we thought about how natural it felt- no weird poses, no putting our hands or heads in contorted poses, she simply told us to walk, stand, or talk to each other in most instances. Anni drew out our natural traits and captured them pristinely- people commented how much we just looked like ourselves, but better.

Anni's strong traits are abundant, but the best ones we can describe is how thoughtful and compassionate she was to work with. Anni took pictures like it was her passion, not her job, and she invites her "subjects" to help create in this masterpiece every step of the way. She comes alive outside, so if you are people that envision your event in the great outdoors, this is a perfect match for Anni. She can make strangers marvel at your wedding pictures because she makes all aspects of the environment come alive and look majestic (not just the people!). She is very interested in connecting with her clients so share your passions with her and she will effortlessly make them a theme in all your shots.

A general rule of thumb we learned throughout the wedding process is your inevitably feel trapped or suckered into the expensive intricacies that go into throwing the most expensive "party" of your lifetime . However, from start to finish we felt like Anni's involvement in the process was a rare gift- hands down, book her now!
