About

I picked up my first camera a decade ago, and it was love at first sight.

Hey, friends! I'm Annie Velenovsky and I photograph weddings, families, and humans of all sorts who have an insatiable thirst to live life deeply. I am based on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, but I am available to photograph you worldwide! I love the artists and art lovers, the ones that crave the unconventional, the adventure seekers, the daydreamers and go-getters, the empaths, and the ones who won't settle.

As an empath, I am inherently intuitive and bring that to the dynamic of my shoots to create images that articulate you in all of your uniqueness. Being a hybrid photographer just means that I shoot in both film and digital! I love how film brings your connection and personality to life through classic and colorful, artistic imagery. Authenticity and adventure are integral to my clients and film communicates both of those in a truly magical way.

I squeal at all the visceral moments I get to photograph... and also really cute animals. We will be best friends if you include your furry friends in your wedding or portraits! Nature is my ultimate muse and art of all mediums set my soul on fire. I love being a story teller and consider myself a natural born healer. When I'm not taking photos, you can find me with a cup of tea on my yoga mat or watching movies (especially Studio Ghibli) and playing video games with my husband, Alec. My Myers-Briggs personality is INFJ, I'm a type 4 Enneagram, and I laugh at everything. I'm so glad you are here; thank you, friend.

Beautiful Photos, Wonderful Photographer!

My husband and I hired Annie for our photographer for our September 2023 wedding based off her beautiful work. Her photos have this ethereal softness to them; she just fully knew how to capture our love in such a special way. The weather was not with us for our wedding day and the timeline ended up very crunched because of this, but Annie was so flexible and managed to make the best of it! She kept calm in the chaos of our day and somehow turned out amazing pictures even though the lighting in the venue was super tricky. Annie is such an easy person to work with and is truly talented at what she does.

Annie is amazing!

I want to start by saying Annie was the first vendor we spoke with and we booked her on the spot! Her personality is contagious and you can tell she loves what she does. We were looking for a photographer that would capture the emotions and joy of our wedding and she did exactly that!! She also kept a great aura about her on the day of; I have been to too many wedding where the photographer will bark orders to et the perfect pose. Not Annie! She is stealth-like and captures the sweetest moments. I 100% would recommend Annie to anyone to breathes!

Annie is a dream!

Annie is not only a dear, close friend of ours, but an amazingly talented photographer. Having her document our big day was a no-brainer, and the easiest choice of our wedding! She was fast and easy with the family photos (always the hardest part!), got the most amazing pictures during the ceremony and had the PERFECT eye when it came to what we wanted captured from the reception. I will honestly treasure my photos from Annie -- from the proposal, all the way through the wedding! -- for the rest of my life.

There's no better photographer out there to set your mind at ease and make your big day even happier! :)

No exaggeration | AMAZING

I truly cannot say enough good things about Annie. She was a delight to work with and extremely talented. She captures color like I've never seen. She captured all the precious moments of the day/night and has a way of putting you at ease when being photographed. If there were more than five stars to give, I'd give them and I'm not one to just hand out praise! I would recommend her to all my family and friends. You can book Annie with confidence and rest assured you're in the best of hands!

Not only is Annie an incredible photographer that clearly LOVES what she does, but she also knows exactly how to capture personalities in the photos she takes. We couldn't have found a better photographer for our special day... spending those hours with her felt like we were spending time with a dear friend. She's awesome!! We love you, Annie! Thank you for making the day that much more special!

Left me bitter about my wedding photos....

Really really wanted this to be a good experience, but alas, I can not give more than 1 star for this experience. After paying extra for an additional portrait session, Annie cancelled (last minute each time) 6 times. Then tried to reschedule over a year after the original date. We also paid for a second photographer for our wedding, and she later changed the contract and removed the second shooter, despite telling me in messages everything was remaining the same in the contract. So we paid for about $700 of things we never got. Then she showed up to our wedding in jeans and combat boots and I had multiple guests tell me how underdressed she was and how angry she seemed to be there. At 830pm on the night of the wedding, she came up to me (bride) to say she didn't have a ride home and asked me to get a guest to take her home. Following all that, we got an email about a month and a half later saying our photos would be delivered Dec 15. Dec 13, she sent a MASS email (I know at least 3 other people that received the same email) explaining that she didn't have the money to get our film photos developed and the gallery would be delivered NO LATER than Jan 2, specifying this multiple times. Even though we had already paid $2200, she didn't have the money. Then she bragged online about quitting her day job. So Jan 4 comes and no pictures. So I emailed her and she claimed she had sent them on the 2nd, but I just didn't receive them. When I asked for proof, she said there is no proof through the site she uses, so my husband made an account and sent out a gallery and immediately got an email informing him that he had sent out a gallery, so she blatantly lied to us. As I explained my frustration to her, she told me she was offended and blocked me on Facebook so I could no longer easily contact her or see the messages where we had discussed the contract (but thankfully I got screenshots). She continually tried to guilt me for wanting my pictures. Overall, it has left me with a bitter feeling toward my wedding pictures, which has absolutely broken my heart. I wish I didn't have to write this, but I want people to know that this happened, and happened to at least 3 other people that have reached out to me.
