Captured Every Moment Perfectly
Picking Anya to be our photographer for our wedding day was the best decision ever! My husband and I felt that the photographer was super important since pictures would be the main way to remember and relive our wedding day in the future (along with video). The photographer is also the one person that is with you throughout the whole day; while getting ready, getting to your destinations, etc. My husband is also very picky, as he is in the art field and has an eye for photographs. He went through the process of researching and interviewing different photographers and once he found Anya, he knew that she would be the one that could capture our special day for us. When we first video chatted with Anya, we knew we would not be disappointed. She was so bubbly and made you feel so comfortable, as if we had known her forever. She definitely took the time to get to know us, our interests, what our vision was for our wedding day, and so on. She also took the time to explain the different wedding packages that were available, and she was extremely flexible working with us to sub a few things in for things we weren’t as interested in. Her communication, whether in person or through emails/phone calls, was amazing and always got back to us within less than 24 hours of our email. Just less than a year away from our wedding date, we had an engagement session with Anya. After leaving the shoot, we couldn’t wait to see the pictures, and when we got them back, we couldn’t have been happier. There were so many awesome pictures that we couldn’t pick a favorite. About a month prior to the wedding, Anya set up a meeting with me to go over a rough timeline and final details. The rough timeline was a great way to organize all appointment and inform our bridal party when things would be happening, as well as other vendors. Anya was also great to work with when giving her details of specific pictures we wanted, family situations, and how to incorporate everyone into certain pictures. Anya, Rachel, and their assistant Ying were amazing to work with on the day of our wedding. They were there on time, made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable, and had so much fun with all of us! While working with us for photos of the two of us, to photos with our families, and with our bridal party, they did an excellent job at telling everyone how to pose and what to do, as well as finding the best lighting. The team did a great job walking around our houses to find the optimal lighting. They were also great at working in some smaller spaces to get awesome shots. Anya and her team did an awesome job at helping everyone’s poses look and feel natural. They instructed and helped out when someone was position awkwardly or standing funny. They knew how to get everyone’s attention and how to make everyone laugh. They all worked well and were very helpful with our flower girl and ring bearer as well. Having a one year old and two year old “pose” for pictures, definitely is not the easiest thing to do but they made it all work. At one point, Anya had my flower girl on one hip, while taking family pictures! There was also another time when I looked over and saw Ying interacting with the kids, holding them, and occupying them. Anya also did a great job working our dog into some pictures at the church, before heading off to our venue. On the day of the wedding, they posted a few pictures, taken with an iPhone, on their Instagram story. Based off of the quality of those, we cannot wait to see all of the pictures taken with the real cameras! Anya and her team were absolutely incredible to work with and we could not have picked a better group of photographers to work with! They definitely knew how to make everyone smile and feel comfortable. They truly made our wedding day the best day ever! We definitely will be using Anya in the future for other photo shoots!
