Hakuna Matata Wedding Team

You need her. Stop looking for any other photographer if you're reading this. I am a wedding photographer as well and Anna is the best of the best. We strive to make our Brides feel like they living the dream they have always thought about and become a real life Cinderella, and Anna did that. Through and through - Anna made me, someone who also does this as a means of income, forget that I was anything other than the most beautiful woman that my husband sees. Thank you, Anna. Thank you for helping us make our day unforgettable in so many ways. From logistics, to knowledge and skill, to picking up my bouquet, to the fact it felt like a lifelong friend was with us - it all wouldn’t have been possible without you pointing us to moments of magic. Thank you for being the fairy godmother I didn’t know I needed and the eyes and lens that will be the mouthpiece of our day for generations to come. Thank you for knowing that you hold such power and impact when you hold a camera. And thank you for seeing us as a unit and individuals. You saw us, my dear and for that I’m so grateful we all spent that beautiful and cold morning together. Here’s to adventure and to all that’s to come. Just keep your camera close - you don’t want to miss a moment. 🥂

Anna and Francesca were the photographers for our wedding at Lake Garda in early June. From the very first contact with Anna, everything felt warm and straightforward. Communication before the wedding was absolutely smooth and effortless. We received such beautiful and breathtaking photos and couldn’t be happier. During the wedding, Anna and Francesca were very discreet. The couple shoots felt natural and comfortable, and we really enjoyed the experience. We felt completely at ease. We can wholeheartedly recommend Hakuna Matata!

What an absolute joy it was for us to have the Hakuna Matata team with us on our wedding. They all went above and beyond throughout the day, and made the experience feel so calm, personable and special. We felt 100% like we could be our relaxed selves without any hesitations and that is exactly what we wished for.

And now - the pictures. We are honestly absolutely lost for words. We love every single one of them. They have captured us, friends and family, and the feelings perfectly. Every single smile, teardrop (god knows how many) and conga line move is perfectly captured.

We will remember Anna and the teams presence during our day with so much love and gratitude. Thank you a million times for everything!

From the very beginning, the Anna and her team was incredible. They helped us figure out exactly what we wanted and guided us with such clarity and care. We trusted their vision completely, and we’re so glad we did. They focused on capturing the real emotion of the day. Rather than just formal portraits, we now have photos that truly reflect the joy, excitement, and love we felt. The images are breathtaking and full of heart. We’ll treasure them forever. Everyone we’ve shared them with has been just as blown away. Couldn’t recommend them more!

We are truly grateful to have had such an incredible wedding photographer team!! From the start, Anna and Francesco were both warm and approachable, making communication easy and stress-free. Their guidance in posing was gentle yet professional, helping us feel natural and comfortable throughout the day. This made the entire experience enjoyable and relaxed, and it showed in the final results.

Their youthful energy and passion for their craft were evident as they seamlessly blended into our wedding, capturing moments from unique and artistic angles. They had an innate ability to anticipate the perfect shot, ensuring no special moment was missed.

The photos and videos we received exceeded all of our expectations. The artistry and creativity they brought to the table resulted in images that not only captured the beauty of the day but also told a unique, emotional story. We are thrilled with how they turned out and are confident these works will be cherished for decades to come. The angles, composition, and overall feel are timeless and will forever remind us of our beautiful wedding day.

We are beyond thankful for their professionalism, creativity, and the lasting memories they have given us.

Dear Anna, thank you so much for being with us on that day and making this so special. Thank you for the idea of Madeira, which we fell in love with imediately. We couldn’t ask for a better setting. We got so lucky with the weather, the wind, the sunset… wow! We know it must have been super hard for you with the super strong wind and the sun (going down). And it was the first photo shoot for us, so we know we were not the easiest models. We trusted you fully and it was worth it. These are such great photos, thank you so so much! You have no idea how greatful we are to you.

My husband and I recently traveled to Italy to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. We decided to look for a professional photographer in the area to take photos of us that would become art pieces in our home after our travels. I searched through hundreds of photographers, but when I saw the photos on the Hakuna Matata Weddings' website, I knew we had found our photographers. The emotion and artistic vision displayed in their images were unparalleled.

I reached out via email, and Anna immediately responded. She was so easy to communicate with and had so many excellent suggestions for our session. She was always very quick in answering our emails and questions. Also, we felt the investment in the photos was very reasonable.

Based on her suggestions, we decided to take a private water limousine to Villa Balbianello in Lake Como. She met us early one morning, and we were off in our boat. The entire experience was so amazingly surreal. Anna and Andrea photographed us as we were whisked around Lake Como. It is a moment my husband and I will never forget; one of our favorite memories of all time.

Anna encourages natural engagement between her subjects and has a keen eye for capturing special moments and interactions between people. She gives gentle guidance and suggests fun interactions to relax and encourage her subjects. We felt so relaxed and special throughout the session. I cannot say enough about how easy it was to be in front of her camera. My husband and I enjoyed engaging with each other throughout the session and almost forgot there were photographers there.

After our session, Anna provided us with a lovely gallery of our images very quickly. She had quoted us a very reasonable turn around time for receiving the images, but she sent us a link to our image gallery even more quickly than promised. Thank you!

And the images are just breathtaking!!! My husband and I are enamored with the images. The image collection contained such a nice variety of images that truly showcased our love for each other. There were beautiful close-ups, stunning panoramic views, and fun interactions throughout our gallery. Anna did a phenomenal job of providing color and black and white options throughout the locations of our session.

I would highly recommend working with Anna and her team to anyone, anywhere. And, we will definitely reach out to her again in the future for our photographic needs. Thank you, Anna, for creating an amazing experience and the most stunning, treasured art pieces we will ever have!

We traveled from Colombia South America to Italy( Portofino) , If you really want to have an outstanding experience I really recommend Hakuna, Anna and Andrea are not only super professional they are also great human beings, the shooting session was great we are really happy to see how each shot was taken not only with professionalism but love. We are grateful God used you guys to print our love story!! Thank you so much !! And hope to see u again !!

Choosing Anna and her team as our wedding photographers was the best decision, hands down, my wife and I could have ever made. They beautifully captured our wedding, and we will be forever grateful that they were the ones to document our day. They took the most stunning photographs we have ever seen. In addition to capturing the amazing moments, Anna and Andrea were a joy to be around. They have a fantastic and contagious energy. At one point during dinner, we noticed Anna smiling at her camera, looking through some of the photos taken during the day. It is very apparent that they love what they do, and they are SO brilliant at it. If we could recommend them a million times, we absolutely would!!

Anna and Francesco went above and beyond to capture every moment of our elopement in Lake Como, Italy beautifully.

Anna was so warm and welcoming when we enquired about booking her. She gave us advice about potential places to shoot and got to know us which helped us feel more relaxed on the day. Anna is an absolute artist and we feel so lucky to have had our pictures taken by her. In particular the way she captures raw emotion and the light and shade in her photos is breathtaking.

Francesco is a masterful videographer with an eye for detail. He captured so many little moments of our day which were special to watch back with the fondest of memories.

We are forever grateful to Anna and Francesco
