About

From the time I was small, taking art classes with my grandmother (a professional artist specializing in oil paintings) I have always loved and appreciated beauty, and the act of making things beautiful. Since my childhood I have taken baby steps further and further into the artistic world, discovering photography once and for all on a European adventure through the unique way that a photograph allowed me to capture a moment, a scene, a feeling. It was there that I began photographing a friend who had previously modeled in NYFW. The photos, and my friend’s natural beauty, caught the attention of a local wedding photographer who asked me to assist her at a wedding the following summer. I loved everything about the wedding world: all at once editorial, photojournalistic, emotional, romantic, sometimes hilarious, and always unique. That was 2015.

I am an optimist, a romantic, and sometimes a realist. I love the feeling of giving a couple a photograph and their reaction when they are surprised to recognize their own beauty. I believe in the importance of capturing things as they really are, as much as I believe in finding the best, in not just a photograph or angle, but in who people are. I am inspired by new places as much as I am traditional landscapes and venues, specializing in destination weddings in addition to coastal Maine events.

Throughout your planning process, you and your partner can expect prompt and consistent responses to your inquiries from me.

On the day of your ceremony, you can expect me to exude a calm and soothing presence. I will gently and easily prompt you to move to find the most flattering angle, the best light, and the most genuine moment. I am committed to creating fine art from your day, drawing on all elements – the beauty of the venue and surrounding landscape, the lighting, your love – to art direct the scene. Without making you feel like your day is dictated by me, I will transition my style through the course of the day at the appropriate times to blend a mixture of fine art and photojournalistic styles. All this means is that I will aim to create work that is visually and aesthetically pleasing, and at times, will switch to a more observational, less directional role, in order to capture the complete picture of the story of your love, in the least obtrusive way possible. Above all, I will do my best to give you the experience I would want – to bring you a light energy, and to provide you with timeless heirlooms to appreciate for years to come.

What I hope to give to my clients are photographs that will perfectly encapsulate their day: the feeling, the fun, the romance, the beauty, the raw, beautifully charged moments.

When I’m not using my camera, you can find me with my fiancé Sapati, my family, my friends, eating something delicious, exploring the world at large, resting at our tiny island home in Harpswell, Maine, or at an art museum with my grandmother.

As much as possible, 10% of all proceeds are given to local churches, charities, and to the education of children in the Andhra Pradesh region of the country of India.

best. photographer. ever.

If you're still looking for a photographer for your big day or any life event, Annie is the one! There is not enough words to accurately describe how much I loved working with Annie for my wedding last week! On a personal level, Annie is the kindest woman to ever exist! She really cares about you and connects effortlessly with you, your family, and your guests. She truly feels more like an old friend than your photographer. On a professional level, Annie makes it so easy to be comfortable in front of the camera even when it is foreign to you. She'll laugh with you, play in flower fields with you, and is always down to try whatever crazy tik tok pose idea you have. She rolled with all of the punches and made things so easy and effortless. She captured our joy and all of the little in between moments you always hope will be saved. The pictures came our amazing and I cannot be more thankful! I'd recommend Annie to anyone and everyone.

Wonderful talent, sweetest person

I cannot say enough good things about Annie! We hired her for our engagement shoot and wedding photographer and WOW did she deliver! Annie has such a way about her that makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, even if you aren't. Not only is she unbelievably talented in her attention to details (lighting, poses, a wrinkle in your shirt or a stray hair), she is creative, patient, kind, and calming, which is especially important on such a big day. I will 100% hire her again to capture our next milestone. I give Annie 5 stars and more!!

The Most Wonderful Photographer !

We originally booked our wedding for summer of 2020. We didn’t originally book Annie (I hadn’t found her yet!), but after having to move our wedding due to Covid, we had to change photographers. I found Annie after scouring different wedding websites and reached out. From the moment I originally emailed Annie, she was amazing. She worked with us to match our original photographer’s package, and stayed with us through 3 more wedding date changes. Flash forward two years later and we finally got married. Annie was so wonderful throughout the years, and kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed. She was super organized and made sure to have our schedule, and all the photos we wanted laid out in advance. We had her shoot a couple hours of our rehearsal dinner, and the full day of the wedding. She was early for both, worked so well with our videographer and other vendors, and was genuinely so nice. The day of the wedding she brought her husband Pati as her second shooter and they were SO fun to work with. We had two unhappy babies in our wedding party and they were so good about getting their attention, while also getting all of the adults. Everyone in our wedding party commented on how wonderful they were. They got so many beautiful shots, and did such a great job rounding up an enormous bridal party and giant family. She got back our finished gallery so fast and I truly love every single photo. I cannot believe how many beautiful shots she and Pati captured, and I am so happy to have these to remember such a special day.
