    Best in the business!!!

    Drop everything you're doing and book Anna Schmidt Photography immediately! We seriously cannot thank her enough for helping make our wedding day one to remember! Not only did the photos from our engagement shoot and wedding turn out fantastic (!!!) but we really enjoyed spending time with Anna and her team. We are still hearing from our guests about how amazing, professional, and friendly they were to everyone. In going through our album, we love how she captured moments and memories that make you feel like you are transported back to the time and place of our wedding, in addition to the absolutely gorgeous portraits and drone shots! We will cherish these photos for a lifetime and for generations to come. Anna's kindness and calm demeanor was very much appreciated on the day of our wedding and we felt zero stress because we knew we were in such good hands! She made us feel very comfortable and natural. She was extremely organized and captured all of our dream photos and then some! Thank you so much, Anna!

    Anna is the best!

    Where to even begin? Incredible. Just absolutely incredible. Anna and her team are absolutely phenomenal and you should without a doubt book them for your wedding! Starting with our engagement photos, Anna turned two awkward engineers in to people that can pose for beautiful photos! On our wedding day, Anna and her team were the definition of professional, making sure we got our family photos done AHEAD of time so that we had even more time for portraits of my now-husband and I. When they pulled out the drone to take photos, we almost lost it - SO cool!

    I’ll I can say is hire Anna, you will not regret it!

    Top Notch Photographer!!

    We loved working with Anna for our wedding. She is a consummate professional who was communicative, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish—not to mention fun! We had a great time working with Anna and she put us both at ease right away, which was especially great since neither of us is photographed very often. We appreciated her creativity and vision, as well as her incredible efficiency. It doesn't take Anna long to see, set up, and get the shot she wants. We were amazed at how beautiful the photos were and Anna's ability to find the best poses, lighting, and creative ideas. We are so glad we hired Anna for our engagement shoot and wedding and can't imagine having worked with anyone else!

    Prepare to be amazed!

    Anna and her team are absolutely phenomenal. The pictures we have gotten from our engagement session and now our wedding are breathtaking. We are so pleased with the entire experience. It is so hard to pick our favorites from her work because so many shots are perfect. Anna makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. I will be recommending her to all of my friends and family.

    Amazing Photographer - You will not regret using Anna and her team!

    I had the perfect wedding! Anna Schmidt and her team played a huge part in ensuring a stress-free day where I was relaxed to pose for her beautiful images. From our initial consultation, I felt a strong connection to Anna. She is organized and professional and immediately put me at ease. We communicated so much ahead of time that the wedding day was a breeze. Anna knew the important shots to get and blended into the background to get some perfect candid shots. I cannot say enough good things about Anna and her team. I highly recommend Anna Schmidt Photography!

    The absolute best

    I cannot say enough good things about Anna and her team! She did our engagement photos and shot our wedding, and we absolutely LOVED every shot she took from both. (We also got SO MANY compliments from family and friends). She is so passionate about what she does and truly has such an eye and talent for it. She really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and to perfectly capture the wedding day! Also, from start to finish, working with Anna was so easy and enjoyable-- communication with amazing (she would respond nearly instantly every time, with the most detailed responses). And, to top it all off, after working for over 12+ hours on wedding day, she surprised us and all our guests at the end of the night by having some of the photos, from just hours earlier, edited and played on a big screen in our reception room! And then yet again she surprised us by having a GORGEOUS preview gallery ready within 48 hours of our wedding. We were blown away by her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and desire to make our day as perfect as possible! HIRE HER!!! I promise you will not regret it!

    The Perfect Wedding Photographer

    Anna and her team did the most amazing photography work for our wedding, we couldn't have asked for a better team and experience. Anna was prompt with all correspondence and worked seamlessly with our wedding planner and DJ. The day of her team was accommodating of every need and request and had such a beautiful and artistic eye for every shot. We can only give our top recommendation for her as a photographer.

    Love love love!

    It was very difficult to choose a photographer with so many options out there and interviewing so many people. However, Anna made things so easy! Out of all the interviews, I felt at ease with her like she's been a friend for many years. She has a way to make you feel comfortable which is super important when you have those intimate moments to be captured. For our engagement shoot, we were running really late due to traffic but Anna was extremely pleasant and flexible. Although we were late, she still managed to work in a good amount of time for the shoot. Anna and her team were fantastic at the wedding! She brought an assistant and a second shooter. What amazed me was all the little things that she brought to photograph with my jewelry and flowers that worked right into the theme! The wedding day was busy but Anna and her team worked seamlessly. We got previews quite quickly which was great to share and when we got all the photos, they were fantastic! Anna is such a talented and friendly photographer which makes your big stressful day a lot easier.

    The BEST in the business

    Anna is hands down the best wedding photographer you will ever come across. My husband and I got married in Sept. 2019- We started talking and meeting with Anna about a year prior. From the first time I started e-mailing with Anna to the moment we met, I knew we had landed just and all around wonderful, genuine person to capture our special day. Anna made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, answered all of our endless questions and made us feel totally at ease. Anna literally has a way of making you feel like you're a model when she is photographing you-even if you are the least photogenic person ever! When she sent our preview for our engagement photos- I was totally blown away with how INCREDIBLE her work was. Fast forward to getting our wedding preview photos back-instant tears. Anna is truly an artist and her work is out of this world. Her work and our wedding photos are things that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We feel so so so fortunate to have been lucky enough to have Anna capture our special day. So if you are in the market looking for a wedding photographer- don't bother looking anywhere else! Anna is the BEST of the BEST!

    Best in the Business

    There is no doubt in our minds that Anna is the best in the business.

    First of all, you cannot be the price for value you get. She puts her heart and soul into the work she does for you on your engagement photo shoot and the big day. There is constant communication leading up to the big day and never are you worried that she won't get the "perfect shot".

    Anna's photos are above all else, she has an eye for it. One that you cannot find around here - I dare you to try. She has done our first photo shoot when my wife and I 'came out', she shot the moment that I proposed to my wife, she did our engagement shoot and of course our recent wedding. She always has a TON of photos for you to pick from, perfectly edited, and a 'sneak peak' ready within 12hours of the shoot! Final wedding photos were delieverd via email 4days after the wedding!! Name a photographer who does that?! (My cousins all waited a YEAR for their final photos with another photographer).

    Anna and her work is priceless. You would be lucky to be able to book Anna for you wedding and you would be a fool not to try.

    Anna, thank you for catching all of our beautiful memories, we cannot thank you enough and we can't wait for our next life adventure for you to catch!
    Love,
    Mrs. & Mrs. Mason

    Amazing photos from a rainy winter wedding!

    Anna was the perfect photographer for our big day in Annapolis! She was extremely professional and flexible with us throughout both the planning process and the wedding day, and we absolutely LOVED how the photos turned out. Our wedding day was very wet and rainy, but Anna made the best of it and came prepared with clear umbrellas that made for fun and beautiful photos. She also came and shot an hour of our rehearsal dinner because we did not have time to do an engagement shoot, and I love that we have photos from that night as well. She was AMAZING to work with--I would highly recommend her to any bride!!

    Anna is amazing. She is very responsive and is amazing at what she does. We took our engagement photos with Anna and have booked her for our wedding in May 2018! Our engagement photos came out perfect. She is so creative and also willing to listen to your own personal thoughts and visions. We brought a few of our own photo props and we she was very open and willing to make them work (e.i. Flag and & sign). It turned out great! She was VERY helpful when we had no idea how to pose, which made it much more enjoyable for us. I highly recommend her!! You will not be disappointed!

    Anna is the BEST and was by far my favorite vendor!!! From the day I met her, I knew I wanted her as my photographer. I met with several other photographers, but her personality stood out to me right away as somebody I wanted around me on my big day- in addition to her amazing photographs! At our initial meeting she seemed genuinely interested in what we were planning and seemed excited to be part of it. We shot our engagement photos in the fall and had to change the date once because of weather- she was extremely flexible and made sure everything worked out perfectly. They turned out amazing! Throughout the wedding planning process, I even reached out to her for advice on our floor plan and vendor recommendations, since she has worked in our venue before and I simply trust her to give me honest feedback. On the day of, I could not have been more happy with Anna and the team that she brought with her. They made sure to get photos of all of the small details we had planned, as well as managing our large bridal party and families for formal portraits. She had our preview ready for us THE NIGHT OF THE WEDDING, which was unbelievable! We can't wait to see the rest of the photos, as the preview was amazing and I could not be happier that we chose Anna as our photographer. I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone that is getting married or needs a photographer for anything else- you cannot go wrong with Anna!!!

    Anna is the best! She was super flexible when we wanted to change the date for our engagement pictures. At our wedding she was amazing. I had some serious unexpected bridezilla moments thanks to weather but she dealt with me and got amazing photos...even in the rain! She even asked the florist to wait around before removing the outdoor chuppah so we could get a picture under it when the rain cleared. I emailed Anna fairly frequently with random questions and she was always very responsive. We couldn't have picked a better photographer. Even my bridesmaids are still talking about how much they love Anna!!!

    Oh and best part: she had a preview of some of our photos to us within 3 hours after our wedding!

    Anna was amazing! She came up with really great ideas for photos and was completely professional and patient. She went over where she would be during my walk down the aisle and how she would maneuver around so I wouldn't be surprised. She took some incredible pictures. During the ceremony, I didn't even notice her taking pictures. She was not intrusive in the moment but also ensured she captured the need to have moments. My reception was a week after the ceremony and we wanted to have a couple of pictures from the ceremony for everyone who was not there could see us in our formal attire. She was able to get us amazing preview pictures the same day! I did not have any issues or bad experiences. If you want a friendly photographer who can capture the magic of your special day, you need to book Anna Schmidt Photography!

    Anna Schmidt of Anna Schmidt Photography exceeded my expectations. Every interaction was professional, and she was very invested in making the photography for our special day the absolute best. We did an engagement photo shoot with her, and she was VERY organized, even creating a map of all the photo locations that made the route easy to decipher. She was always open to feedback, accommodating of our unique ideas for photos, and extremely reliable with her responses. Anna is the best and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a professional photographer for not only weddings/engagements, but any event! Also, have you seen her photos? The work speaks for itself!! Thanks, Anna! :) -Katie G.

    We had a look at Anna's website and knew we wanted her as our wedding photographer. Other photographers had photos with just as high quality and good technique, but seemed too "removed" from the event. We wanted someone who was engaged with the event, whose photos look like they were dancing with us right in our circle of friends. Just a quick browse through Anna's gallery and we noticed right away her photos weren't detached and stagey, but spontaneous and really allowing her subjects to be natural, sometimes facing away, or capturing a moment of couples mid-conversation. We were impressed.

    I met with Anna for an initial consultation and we talked for an hour and she brought along sample photo books she had put together. She asked great questions from "How did you and your fiance meet?" to logistical questions like "How many people are you expecting? Is there space to set up additional lights if needed?" Having worked in entertainment and event planning, I appreciated that she was considering these things so early on.

    Our next meeting was the venue a week before the wedding. On the day-of, Anna & Lauren were completely chill, very professional and friendly. We had family members help to corral together our extended family (like herding cats!) and Anna & Lauren remained completely calm in the midst of all this. About 20 minutes before they left, they checked in with us to see if there were any people we wanted to get special photos with. I was able to get some wonderful shots even in those last few moments.

    Our first batch of preview photos came through FAST! I was amazed; and beyond that, I was so enthralled with how she and Lauren really captured the spirit of the day. Nothing seemed static or uninteresting- and they captured all those moments that we missed. It's a great surprise to see all the moments you weren't a part of. Just beautiful & like a present of memories!

    I would book Anna and Lauren for another event without hesitation. Absolutely!

    When my fiancé and I decided to have engagement photos taken, we agreed that we would only choose Anna Schmidt. Anna is beyond talented, patient and an overall great person. I felt so comfortable during the photo shoot; I totally let my guard down with her. She is extremely creative as well and has amazing ideas as to how to get the perfect shot. When it comes to a photographer recommendation, I would only recommend Anna Schmidt.

    Amazing wedding photographer

    Anna and her team are truly the best! Anna was so attentive to all of our requests and details. She was a pleasure to talk to and bounce ideas off of. We loved getting engagement photos which really helped us feel comfortable and ready for photos on the big day! The big day… OMG, Anna and team was there so early! They were on it with creating and sticking to the schedule. They were attentive to every detail. There was always someone snapping away at every turn. The cherry on top was that Anna brought us a printed picture from earlier in the day during the reception and it was UNREAL. I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Anna and team.

    Simply Magical

    Anna was amazing during our planning and really bringing out the best in everyone in front of her lens. She has a great attitude about everything and was the right energy for us. She loved our pup and made sure he was involved. The flexibility she had with us and the patience during a COVID wedding we cannot recommend her more. Everyone was in love with her pictures.

    The best ever!

    Wow! Anna’s team was immaculate! I hired her a year out and it was the best decision I made! She nailed it from our engagement shoot to the day of wedding. She even came earlier to make sure I had enough time to capture all of the memories. Her team was absolutely amazing and I even saw them starting to work on edits during their break at my wedding. She was the most flexible vendor, and provided so much more than just pictures- her smile and calm demeanor in itself was encouraging! She provided me with a sneak peak of ~50 pictures the next day- accommodated my style and mood of photography, and even offered to take us back to our original wedding venue to take pictures at a future date because we had to change our venue due to covid. I cannot recommend her enough! Look no further, Anna is the best!

    10/10 Recommend!!!!!

    Anna is truly the best in the business! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable throughout the entire process - from the engagement photos to the day of :)

    She was constantly professional & thoughtful! We never once felt like it was just "another job" or "another wedding" for her. She genuinely wanted to get to know us - as individuals & as a couple. She asked us about our story, how we met, how we got engagement, and the vision for our wedding. She helped us pick the perfect engagement photo locations based on our unique style & story. Her attention to details is truly invaluable.

    To ensure that our wedding day would run smoothly, she worked closely with us to create the perfect timeline for the day of. She truly ran the show on our wedding day, but never once felt like she was "in the way". She knew exactly how to get all the right shots without taking over the space or making it feel inauthentic. She's seriously a gem!

    And of course, her work is amazing!!!!!! We're so in love with our photos :) Also, a huge selling point for us, was how quickly she works! We had our wedding preview ready just a few days after & our entire wedding album just a few weeks after. Amazing!

    Highly, highly recommend!!!!! Brides & grooms - look no further, because Anna is truly worth the investment!

    Anna is a LEGEND!

    Working with Anna was easily the most positive and seamless vendor experience with my wedding. She is so warm, professional, kind, and a pleasure to be around. That type of energy is SO important when you have a million things to worry about, you are bursting with emotion, and you are hoping everything looks perfect.

    The engagement photo session was such a wonderful opportunity for us to get comfortable with each other, and she makes great use of that time. She was genuinely curious about our story, and that established connection made the wedding day so much more effortless. Her team is equally as amazing. They were not only there to take beautiful photos, but also quieted my worries and assured me our slight timing delay was no big deal. One member of her team even ran to the bridal suite to grab some things I had forgotten.

    And now to the photos.. O-M-G THE PHOTOS!!!! These are easily my most treasured possession. Within 24 hours I had a "wedding photo preview" which included a couple shots from every key moment of the day - and many of these ended up being our absolutely favorites. Just a few weeks later, all the remaining photos were sent along. I have friends who waited over a month just to see a SINGLE shot from their photographer - not the case here! Every aspect of the experience with Anna is well thought out to provide the best service possible, and I couldn't recommend her strongly enough!!

    Thank you Anna!
