    Anna was fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. She did a great job with the formal photos and she captured every moment and detail of the day in a beautiful way. Anna did our engagement portraits and my bridal portraits as well and they were absolutely exquisite!

    ABSOLUTELY LOVED WORKING WITH ANNA!!! :) photography was the second vendor we booked after our venue since it was really important to us that we have awesome photos. after looking at the portfolios of some other photographers based on where they've shot before, we decided we liked anna's work the best. we loved how her photos are very natural looking (love her use of natural light) and the quality isn't too harsh/sharp (not too much weird editing)... we also weren't trying to find someone to make us look super artsy (like from a bridal magazine) since that's not who we are. we all met at panera to see if we would click and we booked her right on the spot!! when you know, you know! ;) we knew anna was perfect for us! :)

    she's one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet and is super professional. anna is very responsive to emails and was helpful with trying to figure out some engagement outfits for me to wear. she made us feel comfortable and made us laugh during our engagement session, which resulted in some amazing candid photos. :)

    as we got closer to the wedding, anna was amazing with coming up with a timeline and a list of photos we wanted her to take. super organized and we loved it!! (helped us not be so stressed having to worry about making sure we had everything we wanted). ONE WEEK after the wedding, we sent us a sneak peek of the photos and i was shocked at how many photos she had sent to us!! i'm sure she and the second shooter (tamara) took thousands and i was only expecting a small handful of photos to look through since it's wedding season so i was floored when i saw how many we had to look through!! the photos look amazing!!! again, anna (and tamara too!) made us feel comfortable and made us laugh. we are SO very happy we went with anna and couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our wedding day. :)

    Anna did a splendid job on our wedding photos. My family is rather formal and we were a bit hesitant in hiring a younger photographer to shoot our wedding. Well though she is young, she is the most talented woman we have ever met. She has already done over 30 weddings and she took great care of us. Too often do you find people who will "promise you the world." But when Anna says she will provide you with fantastic appealing photos, she is 100% right! She is honestly the most talented photographer I know and hope that when we have children she is still in this area to take their pictures. If I were you, I would look no further, she is wonderful. Thank you so much dear, couldn't be more pleased.

    Everyone has wedding day priorities and I knew that my number one priority was our photographer. I knew that our wedding day would go by so fast, so I wanted to make sure that we had a photographer who would capture not only the events of the day, but also the emotion. I could not have asked for a better photographer than Anna Kerns. From the start, she was always so incredibly helpful and flexible. Not only is she an expert in photography, but she is so knowledgeable about weddings in general. She outlined our wedding timeline and always had advice or answers to all of my countless questions. My husband and I spent a wonderful afternoon with Anna for our engagement photos and got to know her even better. I usually hate having my picture taken, but her genuine personality quickly put me at ease and we became fast friends! That same calm feeling transcended into our wedding day as having Anna there put my wedding day nerves at ease. She made sure that all of the photos on our “wish list” were taken and even more importantly she made sure that we were comfortable and having fun. Being a military wife I am often separated from my husband and I cherish our engagement shots because Anna did not simply take our photographs, she captured our love and every time I look at them I am instantly reminded of that. Thank you, Anna!

    Anna is a great growing photographer. She is very good with people and is willing to do anything to make that moment special for those she are photographing. I would recommend Anna over any other photographer. She is very efficient and focused on the quality of work that she provides. I could not have choosen a better photographer. Flexibility is her game and Anna Driver-Bishop is her name!!!

    We highly recommend Anna! From our very first conversation on the phone, which I think lasted an hour, Anna made me feel confident in her abilities and excited to work with her! She is both incredibly technically skilled as well as talented.

    Whenever I look at my love shoot photos (engagement pics) I remember how she found a secret church garden that still had blooming roses, even in late October after the leaves had changed! She has such a gift for finding beautiful spots and angles that made even the most amateur of models look pretty and feel comfortable.

    And of course our wedding was such a wonderful day. I can't imagine someone other than Anna being there to help guide us through the day. The posed shots are beautiful and the candids are even better! Anna was a great sport about borrowing a golf cart so we could take gorgeous shots out on the course right as it was starting to get dark, they are some of my absolute favorite photos!

    We are so grateful that we had you with us through our whole wedding process, and as we are coming up on a year since that day I just wanted to say thank you.

    I had so much fun with Anna during my boudoir shoot! She even drove over an hour to take the photos at my house where I was comfortable. Sha has a lot of cool ideas & the photos came out amazing! I can't wait to see the book!

    I don't even know where to begin with how great Anna is. I had some trouble with my original photographer so was very hesitant to find another person. Anna met with me at a Starbucks and when we started talking I felt like we had known each other a long time. She has a very easy personality to get along with and she makes you feel important. She worked hard to understand the types of pictures I liked. She wanted to know how my husband and I met, what we liked to do, and how we saw our wedding. I felt so comfortable with her and I knew she would do an amazing job. We met at a minor league baseball stadium and Anna thought it would be special to have photographs there. We couldn't coordinate a time before the wedding with the stadium so she said we could use 1/2 an hour of our engagement session for that after the wedding. She is so flexible and does whatever it takes to get those special moments. The day of the wedding Anna was early, she made me feel beautiful and special, when she saw i was getting tense she made me laugh. She just was exactly what I imagined a photographer would be. I loved working with her and I will be using her for any photograph needs I have in the future.

    We LOVE Anna!! She is so sweet, organized, thoughtful and professional. She has a way about her that is calming and comforting. She also takes STUNNING photographs :) Our family and friends can't stop raving about her photos, commenting on how great she made each of us look! We will always use her for future photography needs.

    Anna exceeded my expectations in every way. From the first consultation to our last email correspondance, she has been gracious, enthusiatic, and professional. My wedding and engagement photos are absolutely stunning and there are so many! This is truly a photographer that will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your photographs. For instance, when most of the leaves had not changed in the location we choose for our autumn 'love shoot', Anna offered to do another complimentary session with us a few weeks later. She's also extremely organized (such a huge plus in the midst of wedding stress) and will send out a timeline, questionnaires, and a photographers guide that encompasses all the necessary photography information for your wedding day. I was very impressed by Anna and so delighted she could tweak her wedding packages to work within my budget. Of all my vendors, Anna was the best to work with, and I highly recommend her to any bride.

    I can't say enough about how wonderful Anna is. Throughout the entire planning process leading up to the wedding, she answered all of my questions and was attentive to any ideas that I had for photographs. On the day of the wedding, she remained calm when it started to rain and found a great indoor space for my husband and I to take pictures. She even went out on a ledge (literally!) to get the right distance and angle for our pictures. I haven't seen any of the photos yet, but I'm certain that they'll be amazing!

    I simply can not thank Anna enough for all she have done. Our pictures are AMAZING, Anna is truly a talented photographer. Anna did an wonderful job capturing our wedding and more importantly mine and Alex's crazy, goofy love for one another. I am so thankful for all her hard work as I am sure it wasn't easy editing all those photos. Alex and I wish Anna the very best for her future, it was a pleasure working with her!!

    Anna is fantastic! We had a photographer that cancelled on my son's wedding 10 days prior and Anna stepped in took charge, took care of the business and when the day arrived created magic! Her low key approach allowed for the ceremony to take place without her being seen, yet the outcome of her work that day was splendid! After the wedding she exceeded our expectations by completing her post wedding work on the photograhs by half the time. I would stongly recommend Anna for any photography work you might have. She knows she can give any potential client my mobile number if you want additional information.

    I couldnt have ask for a better photographer. Anna was very professional and had alot of great ideas to make my day what all women dream of, SPECTACULAR! She captured photographs that will tell my wedding story for years afterwards. Anna was always available when I called her and very flexible in the hours that she dedicated to me and my wedding. I would recommend Anna as the photographer for any occasion. She will make all dreams a reality.

    Thanks Anna

    Anna was the first vendor that I booked for my wedding and she was wonderful to work with throughout every step of the wedding planning process, including one portrait session and on the actual day of my wedding. She is creative, friendly, and very professional. She arrived on time and worked non-stop on the day of my wedding for a total of 8 hours of coverage. It was such a pleasure to work with Anna. Her pictures are beautiful and I would highly recommend her to future brides.

    Anna was such a joy to work with for our engagement picture and wedding pictures! We were planning our wedding from out of town and were only able to come into town a few times before the wedding. Anna was always so flexible and patient with us to get our engagement photo sessions in and our save the date magnets designed! She created beautiful save the date magnets and a gorgeous guestbook full of our engagement photos for our wedding guests to look at and sign at the wedding! We still get complements on our guestbook! Anna was not only our photographer but she became a friend! She is a blessing and we have beautiful pictures that will last a lifetime!

    Anna's ability to capture unplanned moments is amazing! She was wonderful to work with on the day of the wedding and took more pictures than I thought possible. The end product was beautiful, creative, and really captured the best moments of the wedding. I would absolutely recommend Anna to other brides!

    There are good vendors and there are great vendors, and then there is Anna. She was the best part of the wedding planning process and never failed to impress us with her professionalism, warmth and genuine talent. None of our other vendors had such a thrill for working weddings. She truly loves love and loves her clients, and that shows through everything she does. We saw her work online, and after meeting with her we knew that we didn't need to look any further for our photographer. She kindly met us at a convenient location and somehow managed to convey her style and elegant approach to photography in a dark Starbucks. She thinks of everything, and she treats her clients like gold.

    Our engagement pictures and wedding pictures were incredible. She never tried to up-sell. Quite the opposite, in fact. After it pretty much monsooned at our wedding Anna kindly offered to do another bridal shoot for us. Gratis. She even got us some of our pictures early so my sick grandmother could see them before she passed away.

    If you are looking for a lovely, kind, enthusiastic and talented photographer then I highly recommend Anna. I will be recommending her to all my engaged friends.

    She was on top of everything. I didn't feel worried. I felt like she knew what shots would make me look "my best." She captures light beautifully. She thought of every little detail so I didn't have to. I got every shot I wanted and so many that I couldn't do without that she captured without me saying anything.

    She was calm, you could tell that she was in her element. She kept others calm, while letting people be themselves... the list goes on and on. Everything was professional even down to her getting us two DVD's full of our pictures so that we would have one to keep with us and one to give to a relative for safe keeping in case of a fire... WHAT?! She is amazing. DO WHATEVER IT TAKE TO HAVE HER SHOOT YOUR SPECIAL DAY. You will be blessed.

    I can't say enough positive things about Anna and our experience working with her. She is kind, knowledgeable, talented, easy to work with, and an all around lovely person! Everything about her and her company is so detailed and thoughtful-- from the master photo list she will create with you to make sure you get all the special shots, to her beautiful packaging, to her awesome website that you can use to access/download/buy your photos!

    We also loved that we had the opportunity to shoot our engagement portraits with Anna. She has the ability to make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera-it was great practice for the wedding! Even more, we were able to use those photos on our website, for save the dates, and in our DIY guest book.

    Finally, the quantity and quality of the final wedding photos we received was unbelievable. She captured every detail, all of the special moments, and the whole atmosphere of the day perfectly.

    I hope to have more opportunities to work with Anna in the future and would recommend her to any bride!

    WOW! Anna is so much fun to be around! My husband and I were super nervous in front of the camera but after a few minutes of photographing we were laughing and dancing. Im so thankful she only gave us the really flattering photos. There will no weird angles or blinking or awkward stuff. The way she sees a wedding is beautiful and fun which is how my photos turned out. LOVE THE PHOTOS! My married friends soooo wish they could do-over their photos now because they want creative photos like this. It's totally worth changing your budget for. We actually saved money with Anna so I had money to buy my bridesmaids jewelry. It was fabulous.

    We used Anna for our engagement portraits and could not be happier with the result. Anna was courteous and professional throughout the planning process and was a true delight to work with on the shoot date. We made us feel safe and beautiful and was so warm and kind. I was worried we'd feel rushed to get the best light, but she was so laid back and really just put us at ease. We got the photos back last week and were AMAZED by the results. The colors are gorgeous and the composition flawless. We shot on a really uncomfortable 96-degree day and I was hoping to get at least one good photo, but they are all STUNNING. Thank you, Anna, for sharing your truly incredible talent with us!

    I spoke to several photographers before I booked Anna for our wedding; I was having a hard time finding the right photographer for us. When I spoke to Anna on the phone she explained the purpose of the engagement session is to allow the couple to get comfortable with her as our photographer and comfortable with the poses so everything on our wedding day feels natural and comfortable. Anna also explained that she likes to get plenty of information from the couple before their wedding so she can help keep everyone organized and make sure that our day runs smoothly. When she told me this I knew we had to hire her because I could instantly tell how organized she is! Even more impressive than her organization is her gorgeous photography style. When we received our pictures from Anna, It felt like Christmas morning! The pictures were beautiful, she captured so many special moments and returned our edited preview pictures in record time! Anna is so sweet to work with and she goes above and beyond the duties of a wedding photographer to make sure your wedding day is perfect!
