The best decision we made for our wedding hands down. Not only is Ana incredibly gifted, she is also one of the most genuine, kind and sweet people I've ever met. She photographed our wedding on the wake of a great loss in her life, and made sure it didn't impact the way she showed up for us at all. She was extremely professional and fully present. I was shocked to find out from my wedding planner and immediately reached out to thank her. She explained she didn't want to tell me about it then because she knows how empathetic I am and didn't want to distract me from my big day. If this doesn't say everything you need to know about her character, I don't know what else would. She's a tiny thing with a huge heart. All my wedding guests adored her, she partied with us and even stayed a little later because we had a delay in our schedule, she refused compensation for the additional 30 minutes. Onto the photos: When my now husband and I received our photos 6 weeks later we were in tears. Not only did everything look like a dream, it was all handled with so much love you could just tell. We looked so good! Magazine good! We're not ones to post much on social media, but I immediately felt a need to share the photos. I hype her up so much with my friends while they have the opposite to say about their experience with their wedding photographer. Ana speaks a lot about connection and she is absolutely right. Thank God we initially felt at ease with her, and can now call her a friend. -

It’s hard to put how insanely talented she is into words without writing an essay. Firstly, Ana is such a calming presence to be around, she is so professional, charismatic, and kind. I was so nervous about posing, but she absolutely made magic happen. It really amazed me that she managed to make us look unposed and natural, and captured all of the special moments during our wedding in a candid authentic way. I couldn’t be happier with the pictures we received from her! She’s an insane talent. Forever grateful to you, Ana! -

Ana captured the most precious moments of our engagement session and wedding day. She is a magical force! Everyone at our wedding absolutely loved her, because she is so personable and professional. I’ve worked with photographers throughout my life and career, and none compare to her in talent or professionalism. I’m so grateful she was able to photograph us because it’s like having a close friend by your side and not just a person with a camera. And what can I say about her work? It speaks for itself. She is insanely talented. -

Ana is simply amazing. She really listens to what your vision for your wedding photos are, and then adds amazing talent to give you truly unbelievable results. On top of her talent, she is so kind, and so fun to work with. She makes it seem effortless even the most challenging groups! I truly couldn’t recommend her more! Love,
Lauren and David. -

When we were looking for our wedding photographer we knew we wanted magazine worthy images, and were sold on the fact that Ana was a well known fashion photographer. We didn’t want our images to look like posed and silly, we were looking for something artistic and classy. Ana went above and beyond our expectations! Working with her was so easy through her kindness and professionalism to her incredible talent. We truly couldn’t recommend working with her enough! -

We met Ana at a charity event in River Oaks. She was so charismatic and friendly, which was the reason we initially asked her to be our wedding photographer! After seeing her work we were excited to work with her, but she far exceeded our expectations! we got so lucky with her. She is incredibly professional and talented and her editing skills are unparalleled. Ana, we are so grateful to have you in our lives now as you continue to photograph our milestone moments! -

Ana was, without a doubt, the best investment we made for our wedding! I’m very picky about photography and searched for months for the right person. My sister is a pro fashion photographer, and when she recommended Ana to me I was so relieved! The minute I viewed her portfolio I was convinced. When we met with her she was so cool, professional and friendly. Working with her for our engagement photos was like spending time with a close friend, and because of her amazing photos, and the time we spent together, photography was not something we had to stress about during our wedding day. She’s so passionate about what she does, and the photos she captured for us are our most beloved treasure from our wedding day. We love you, Ana! -

Great work and friendly service
We used Ana for both our wedding and engagement photos. She is super friendly and makes you look and feel comfortable and natural in your photos, not rigid or forced. It was a fun experience working with her, and she was willing to help customize our wedding photography package to fit our needs. We got so many photos back from her after the wedding, and they all looked incredible. She had a mix of different styles in them, ranging from portraits to action shots during the reception. She was also able to get us a few photos the day after the wedding, to be able to share online right away. Ana really cares about the work that she does and artfully, but authentically, captures all of the important memories. -

Unfortunate experience
We hired Ana to shoot our wedding, and unfortunately was extremely unprofessional and a huge pain to deal with making our special day more difficult than necessary. Some examples of how she chose to behave:
1. She stayed up until 4am partying with our guests the night before our big day.
2. She showed up late to our venue
3. She chose to post photos of herself on instagram during the event, delaying our photos (see attached)
4. During our party, while on the clock, she chose to use our vendors and behave as a guest instead of capturing wedding moments(she attached)
5. During our party, while on the clock, she took shots with our guests instead of capturing wedding moments. (See attached)
This resulted in us missing many key moments from our wedding that we’ll never get back.
