About

Hi there! I’m beyond excited that you found me and I am very excited to get to know you! I know firsthand just how important it is to choose a photographer who will not only create beautiful images of you and your love, but could also be your friend. It’s such a special relationship to have and I hope that learning a little bit about who I am will help you choose me to make memories with you.

Unlike a lot of photographers, I wasn’t born with a camera in my hand. I didn’t escape to a darkroom during high school or study photography in college. I’m actually a teacher by trade and at heart. It wasn’t until I was engaged and planning my own wedding that I discovered photography was a hidden passion. I absolutely fell in love with the way my own photographer made me feel in front of the camera and felt a truly magnetic pull to do the same for others. After purchasing my first DSLR and cherished 50mm lens, I couldn’t stop shooting.

I love capturing moments that matter. My love for creating images comes from shooting moments and emotions that matter, not objects or things. People are my thing. I love couples that kiss and families that embrace. Those relationships are so real and honest and I love creating images that celebrate what matters most.

I also love my husband and things that sparkle and living on the North Shore of Massachusetts and balloons and traveling (especially to shoot weddings!) and gold foil. I’ve recently become addicted to avocado and Starbucks, but never at the same time. A clean home makes me happy but I can pass on tidying up to spend the night laughing so hard I cry.

I will always choose quality time. I will also always choose to do my best for you, and to dream as big as you do so that your image collection and experience with me is everything you’ve ever wanted.

I would love to meet you. Let’s get a chai latte and talk. Tell me everything!

An Exceptional Experience with Annmarie: Our Wedding Photographer Turned Family

We cannot speak highly enough of Annmarie, our wedding photographer who seamlessly transitioned from a vendor to feeling like a cherished member of our family. From the very first phone call, it was clear that Annmarie was not just passionate about her craft but also genuinely invested in making our wedding experience memorable.

The journey with Annmarie began with our engagement shoot, where her dedication was evident. She not only accommodated our schedule but went above and beyond, spending extra time to capture stunning sunset photographs that we will cherish forever. Her commitment to creating beautiful memories was apparent from the start.

Planning a wedding from out of state comes with its own set of challenges, but working with Annmarie was undeniably the easiest part of the process. She provided us with invaluable planning tools and insightful tips for our timeline, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.

Throughout the wedding weekend, Annmarie proved to be indispensable. From capturing the intimate moments at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party to the grandeur of our wedding day, her photography skills were truly exceptional. Many of our guests commented on her kindness and warmth, describing her as a ray of light throughout the celebrations.

On the actual day of the wedding, Annmarie went above and beyond her role as a photographer. As Hurricane nerves loomed, she not only captured breathtaking moments but also acted as a calming presence, helping me process my emotions so I could truly savor the excitement of getting ready.

What sets Annmarie apart is her ability to transcend the typical vendor-client relationship; she became an integral part of our wedding journey, someone we now consider family. Her pricing, in our opinion, reflects not only her exceptional skill level but also the incredible personality that she brought to our special day. We wholeheartedly recommend Annmarie to any couple seeking a photographer who not only captures the essence of their love but adds a touch of warmth and joy to the entire wedding experience.

The absolute best

Choosing Annmarie as our photographer was genuinely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning of the process, Annmarie was so communicative, kind, and open to all of our questions and priorities. During our engagement session she helped my now husband and I feel comfortable and have fun in front of the camera, and that's coming from two super awkward / camera shy people! Leading up to and on the big day, Annmarie and her team were so organized and on top of things - everything moved seamlessly and efficiently according to the timeline.

The wedding album that we received left us speechless. Annmarie captured EVERY single detail of our wedding; going through the photos made me feel like I was reliving the entire day. The raw emotion that she's captured in these photos is something that is absolutely priceless to us. Our family members have also been raving about the photos and can't stop talking about how they look like they belong in a magazine!

Annmarie is obviously an amazing photographer, but she is also a warmhearted, comforting, and caring person to have on your side during your wedding. I was able to focus on my husband and my family and just live in the moment, which I will always be grateful for.

The best!

Hiring Annmarie is like hiring a photographer, wedding coordinator, maid of honor, advice guru, and therapist all in one!!! The woman is a SEASONED PRO!! When she arrived at my venue on wedding day, my stress melted away because I knew she was just going to take care of everything. She DOES NOT MISS!! She was so on top of our timeline, wants, family dynamics, weather, etc. She works in seamless harmony with other vendors. And you can obviously see her work is 10/10 STUNNING. Book her!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful experience

Annmarie photographed our 80 person wedding in June 2022, and we could not be happier with how the images turned out and the experience we had working with her. As a couple that tried to steer away from some of the traditional wedding events, we were so grateful that Annmarie was flexible, easy-going, and didn’t try to push us into anything we didn’t want to do. At the same time, she was also vocal where she thought we might have regrets -- even when delivering the photos, she urged us to take the time to go through them together, rather than rush through it in between work meetings. In a wedding industry that can often feel fairly transactional, this was a much needed dose of perspective. From the first consult call to the wedding day, she exuded calm and good cheer, and was above all focused on understanding what we were looking for. All of our friends and family were amazed that we had a framed photo in hand, night-of :) We’d absolutely have her photograph any other events for us!

Everything & BEYOND

Annmarie is truly amazing, but she is way more than a photographer! From
the moment I first spoke to her I knew she had to be a part of our special
day. For a bride struggling to get through it all, she was ALWAYS there to
put my mind at ease. Annmarie was one of the best decisions we made for our
wedding. My husband and I aren't the most comfortable taking photos, but
Annmarie made it easy. Everything felt so natural and the photos captured
our emotions perfectly. She was well-organized, professional, and super
responsive to my never ending questions which created so much trust in her
and her services. We were pleasantly surprised with almost 100 photos for
our sneak peak! We have not stopped looking at our photos since we received
them. Annmarie does not take one bad photo. There wasn't one photo we
didn't LOVE. We received so many compliments on our photos as well as
comments about how lovely Annmarie was on our wedding day. We cannot
recommend her enough!

Perfect Winter Wedding!

AnnMarie was incredible!! Her work is incredible, and she was so lovely to work with. She is dedicated to making the day/night so special and she went above and beyond to make that happen for us. We wanted outside pictures on the coldest day of the year and she powered through and made it happen. I could not recommend AnnMarie and her services more. She is a true professional and so happy she was our wedding photographer.

Best of all time

Annmarie Swift, without a doubt, is the best decision we made for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Annmarie was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and professional when it came to all things for our wedding. Not to mention - the talent!! There isn't a single image in our collection that I don't love, which makes picking out an album and photos to frame very difficult!! On our wedding day, Annmarie (and her rockstar assistant Kyla) were so great at making sure every formal we wanted was photographed as well as the sweet candids of us and all the details of the day. Annmarie also helped me stay calm during some of the stressful times and even helped my bridesmaids figure out my complicated bustle (seriously, she got on her hands and knees to help... did I mention she is amazing!?). We found Annmarie off of the preferred vendor list from Willowdale and we are so glad we did. She navigated the venue like it was her second home and it was really reassuring to work with someone who was an expert of the space since we had only visited a few times. Annmarie also delivered ahead of deadline - our entire wedding photo collection was delivered in 1 month (she said it would be 6 weeks). I am so grateful to Annmarie for helping to make our day so perfect and I am so impressed with her as a business woman and a talented photographer. I would recommend her services to anyone who is looking, you will absolutely not regret it!

Annmarie is the BEST.

Annmarie is truly incredible - I don’t even know where to begin! We could not be happier with our engagement and wedding photos. She is SO talented and the photos are absolutely stunning.

We were nervous about photos and typically don’t feel super comfortable in front of a camera. One of the best parts about working with Annmarie was how comfortable, easy & fun she made things! She is so kind and goes above and beyond to make it an amazing experience. She really took the time to get to know us & made sure we felt supported throughout the entire process.

We get so many compliments on our photos & our wedding parties & families could not stop raving about how awesome Annmarie was!! She gets it done and she makes it fun.

Her photography is just magical & it was such an amazing experience. Annmarie is truly the BEST.

Cannot recommend highly enough

It's impossible to say enough about Annmarie! From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect photographer for us -- her work is incredible, she's fun to be around, and she always made it clear that she would not stop working to give us the wedding experience of our dreams. Every moment we and our families spent around her was a joy, and she managed an enormous and complicated shot list with incredible ease. She took a ton of time before our wedding to talk to us about what we liked, what we didn't like, and what we wanted, and she put every single thing we talked to her about into practice during our wedding weekend. The results were incredible: photos that made our jaws drop and brought our families to tears! She captured all the little moments that were the most special to us, all the big things we would never want to forget, and everything in between. She made us feel comfortable all the time. She is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but also an incredibly kind person who loves making weddings special for those involved. We simply cannot recommend her highly enough!

Picture Perfect!

In short, I cannot recommend Annmarie enough! Her high quality work coupled with her attention to detail, professionalism and ability to simultaneously manage and capture the day’s events are unrivaled! Hiring Annmarie was one of the best decisions we made! Now for the unabridged version: When my now husband Jon, and I began planning our wedding in 2019, having quality photographs was one of the most important aspects for us both. We knew that investing in a skilled photographer was essential, so I scoured wedding sites, Instagram, and local photography sites for hours! As soon as I came across Annmarie’s website, I fell in love! I immediately reached out. Annmarie was extremely responsive and quickly set up a call so we could meet. Within moments of our call, I knew we had to hire her! She is warm, professional, and incredibly passionate about her profession. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand the “vision” for our wedding. Annmarie was extremely thoughtful and informative on everything from ideal lighting times to permits we would need to pull. Since photos were so important to us, we decided to invest in a more expensive package, but it was worth every penny! Annmarie took gorgeous engagement pictures for us at the Boston Public Garden and Beacon Hill. She knew the best spots to get the best shots. I can be extremely awkward especially when taking photos, but Annmarie put us right at ease. Our engagement shots were beautiful yet natural looking. Unfortunately Jon and I were one of the many couples forced to postpone our July 2020 wedding. We scheduled a call with Annmarie to discuss the plan moving forward. During the call, I broke down. Our stress levels were at an all-time high as many of our vendors were charging us high fees to reschedule, which we simply could not afford. While COVID brought upon a lot of stress and anxiety for couples, our vendors were also dealing with many hardships brought upon from the pandemic. Annmarie was very reassuring and accommodating in working within our initial budget. She truly cared about us and ensuring that we would get the experience we wanted. We essentially chose our new date solely based on her availability! In the following year Annmarie ensured that every t was crossed and i was dotted before her maternity leave began. And even when we changed venues 3 months before our date, she jumped right back in and made the necessary changes without skipping a beat! Her flexibility and adaptability was so helpful when everything else felt chaotic. Leading up to the wedding, she scheduled calls to finalize timelines and ensure we were all on the same page to get our most cherished moments captured. The day of the wedding, she arrived on time with a calming yet controlled presence. Annmarie has an incredible ability to multi-task. She was able to maneuver through Boston traffic, wrangle our large family/wedding party and manage to get all of the photos taken (even with an epic child tantrum thrown in there) all with time to spare! In addition to her professionalism and skill, her photos are amazing! We were provided with 900 magazine-worthy photos in under 3 weeks! She is so incredibly talented at what she does. Our guests cannot stop raving about how gorgeous they turned out. Words truly can’t express how appreciative we are for Annmarie’s compassion, understanding, and willingness to go above and beyond to work with us and give us the wedding photos of our dreams!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
