Mutia Sent on 11/16/2024Trust Anna with your wedding photography
Hiring Anna will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding! She is creative, kind, thoughtful, and great at reading the room. We had an intimate microwedding and everyone had nice things to say about her. Anna is so talented and captures those candid, in-between moments so beautifully. We've always admired her vibrant and joyful digital photography style, but her romantic 35mm film photos ended up being my personal favorites (don't hesitate to add that option—you won't regret it!). We can't thank Anna enough for having such a calm presence and capturing our intimate desert ceremony so beautifully. We will cherish our photos forever. -

Anna is the kindest and sweetest photographer out there and she is so talented at capturing the sweetest moments. Working with Anna felt like working with an old friend. She is so present and energetic, and she makes it so easy and comfortable to be in front of the lens. The photos from our wedding bring me so much joy. She captured the love and energy of the day perfectly with such a good mix of candid and posed shots on both digital and film.
Hire Anna! She's a gem. -

Grace Sent on 01/17/2022Incredible Photographer and Human! Hire Anna!
Working with Anna was the easiest decision we made while planning our wedding! Having Anna with you is having a friend to share the special moments with. That’s because Anna will take the time to get to know you and your partner’s story and she is genuinely excited to capture your special day. Anna is easygoing and friendly to communicate with, and the most kind spirit to help you navigate your wedding day.
We hired Anna for our elopement and felt like she made us and our families comfortable, and she shared the excitement we had which made the experience even more fun! Anna makes sure you enjoy the moments with each other and is a calm and encouraging presence amidst the chaos that can be your wedding day.
We love Anna’s bold and playful style so we knew she would capture the vision we wanted for the day. We love all the vibrant colors and how she told the story of our wedding day so incredibly. Anna’s talent for catching the candid photos, the milestone moments, all the details and portraits, is something we are so grateful for. We look at our photos and are overwhelmed with the love she captured and how much the album moves us.
Hire Anna! She is incredible! -

Alexandra Sent on 01/09/2022Amazing experience with Anna!
Anna was so wonderful to work with and we are so thankful she was able to shoot our August wedding. Throughout the whole process, Anna was kind, organized, professional and extremely talented! She really helped us feel more comfortable the day of the wedding and captured so many beautiful candid moments. She was extremely easy to talk to and helped us so much with location ideas/ all things wedding. So happy we were able to work with Anna! -

Anna is literally the best - she was one of our favorite parts of our wedding and we are so thankful we hired her. She understood our vibe as a couple immediately and made us feel so comfortable during both engagement and wedding photos. Her photos are vibrant and really capture people's authentic personalities, which we love so much. Cannot recommend Anna enough!! -

Andrew Sent on 07/13/2021Technical Expertise Matched with Heart
We met with several photographers during our wedding vendor search, but our hearts kept falling back to our very first meeting with Anna Zajac. Even over an initial Zoom call, Anna’s warmth, friendliness, and candor is apparent. She takes the time to make sure that she understands exactly who her clients are, what their love story is, and what their needs may be before diving into her services. We could tell that she truly cares about each of the weddings and couples that she shoots. While Anna’s technical photography skills are obviously outstanding when you view her portfolio, she very much shines with the softer skills a photographer would need to draw out the best from her subjects. We hired her because we thought she would get our friends, family, and I to laugh, be ourselves, and bring out the best from us and she did not disappoint. Shooting with her could not be more natural or less fun. Highly recommend choosing Anna for your wedding! -

Anne Sent on 03/14/2021Working with Anna is the dream
This review is long overdue. We worked with Anna in the summer of 2020 for our engagement photos and could not be happier with how they turned out. She made a couple photoshoot rookies feel extremely comfortable, and we had a great time strolling through Humboldt Park. Anna fully executed on our vision as if she'd read our minds.
Anna was quick with her communication, affordable, gave us plenty of direction without making anything look overly posed, and sent us our photos well before the expected date. What more could you ask for?
We've received numerous compliments on our photos so do yourself a favor and go with Anna! -

Starlyn Sent on 01/10/2020Future you needs Anna!
Anna is seriously amazing! Anna and her husband Matt make the perfect photography team. They worked together to capture all the amazing little candid moments of our wedding that I know we will cherish as we age. Anna is so professional leading up to your big day too. She is organized and really takes the time to get to know you and what you want out of your wedding photos. Beyond her incredible talent, she is also such a calming presence. I didn't realize this until I started wedding planning but of all your wedding vendors (even your family), your photographer will be with you the most on your big day. Wedding days can be a little chaotic but Anna was there by my side all day keeping me calm and encouraging me and my groom to take quiet moments to ourselves. Do your future self a favor and hire Anna! -

Allison Sent on 01/04/2020Best Wedding Photographer!!
Working with Anna was an absolute dream! I had stumbled across Anna's work on social media a few years ago prior to being engaged or ever needing a wedding photographer and have followed her work ever since. I was immediately drawn to her beautiful, bold and candid style of photography. Fast-forward to last year - my fiance and I were engaged and looking for a photographer and I knew I had to reach out to Anna. My husband and I are both designers so the look and overall feel of our day was important to us - especially how it was captured, so photography was a top priority of ours. From our first email exchange I knew we would be lucky to work with Anna - even through email you could tell she was so creative and full of life. She also told us that she had been a designer herself, so it was really neat to find someone with a similar background applying it to her work. We had talked to a handful of photographers, but once we got on the phone with Anna her personality and approach to photography really won us over. Anna photographed both our engagement photos and our wedding day. We had been on the fence about engagement photos, but after having talked with Anna we realized it would be a great way to get to know her and feel more comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. I am so glad we went for the engagement session. For both our engagement photos and on our wedding day Anna made us feel so at ease and taken care of. Throughout the entire process Anna was professional, kind, laid back, gave great direction and she was great at reminding us to take some time during our busy wedding day to soak it all in - and I will always be so grateful for that. We were so fortunate to work with a dream team of vendors - and I can't thank Anna and her second shooter Geneva (she is equally sweet and incredibly talented!!) enough for capturing such special moments that we will cherish forever. Thank you! -

Claire Sent on 08/20/2019A total dream to work with!!
Anna is one-of-a-kind and a total dream to work with!! She was the first vendor we hired for our wedding this past summer, and we can't say enough good things about her work (it's stunning!), professionalism, and overall positive outlook on what can normally be a crazy busy day!
Most importantly, she's such a sweet, thoughtful, and easy-going person, and we felt so comfortable working with her from the very beginning. We felt so confident and relaxed on our wedding day because Anna made us feel at ease, and also was so incredible at coordinating with all of our other vendors. We couldn't be more thrilled to have worked with Anna, and recommend her to everyone we know!! -

Marina Sent on 08/19/2019Anna Is A Dream
Anna was probably one of the best parts of our wedding planning experience. We live in Los Angeles and got married in Chicago, yet Anna was still able to set up an IN PERSON meeting in LA. Oh and also, the first time we met her was days after she, herself, got engaged. Anna could've easily rescheduled to spend more time celebrating but she kept her commitment to us which speaks to her professionalism. Ultimately, the reason we went with Anna above other photographers was her creative eye. We didn't want traditional wedding photos (i.e. basically anything staged/posed) and Anna totally delivered. The photos were, simply put: real. They feel alive, in motion, and candid. Sure, we got the posed family photos for grandparents/parents but Anna was able to take our large, unwieldily families, and quickly snap incredible group shots. Anna was kind, organized, and a breath of fresh air. Her calming presence was much needed on such an insanely emotional day. Anna even arrived 45 minutes early to get some detail shots that I didn't know I wanted. She also was able to improvise on the spot when ran into basically all of our friends getting drinks next door. Those unexpected photos are my favorite. In short: GO WITH ANNA. -

Mandy Sent on 08/16/2019An absolute gem of a human
Anna is not only an incredible photographer, but a kind, wonderful human being. Anna captured our engagement photos (and will be shooting our wedding) and I can't imagine working with anyone better.
Yes, her work is beyond BEAUTIFUL, but the true joy to working with Anna is the process. She is the nicest, most loving, genuinely excited person which makes every shoot magical.
Anna made us feel so comfortable and cared for that it's no surprise that her photos are my favorite. Promise you'll love working with her too! -

Aimée Sent on 08/15/2019Where do I even begin?
Anna flew to the Amalfi coast to capture my husband and I for our one year wedding anniversary. What we loved about Anna right away was her positive attitude and how she was up for anything. She made us feel at ease and comfortable in our own skin ( which can be hard when you are in front of a camera). She’s a champion of love which is one of my favorite things about her. It was so easy to be ourselves around Anna.
The next year, my husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Anna AGAIN for an anniversary session in New York City. No one is better than Anna. Truly! She has such a gift and vibrancy when she’s photographing. Our photos were such a reflection of us in a beautiful and artistic way. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, responsible and professional. She went above and beyond to make us feel special and cared for. She took the time to get to know us and our story.
We wholeheartedly recommend you hire Anna for your special day or occasion. You will blown away. Thank you for being amazing, Anna! -
![Mark]()
Mark Sent on 02/11/2018Anna is THE BEST! She is one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. We worked with Anna to shoot our forever session (engagement photos) and our wedding day on 12/9/17. Throughout the whole process she was collaborative, energetic and SO fun to work with. When she’s behind the camera she has a way of making you feel comfortable, at ease and in the moment. This definitely showed up in our photos as everyone was clearly having a blast! She also did a great job of encouraging my wife and I to take some time to ourselves during the cocktail hour to catch our breath and take it all in. The photos of those ‘time out’ moments are some of my favorites from the entire day. Beyond doing an amazing job of perfectly capturing our day, she was also incredibly patient during the portions of the day that could have been stressful. Coordinating and capturing our family photos before the ceremony went off without a hitch and that is no easy task. We can’t recommend Anna enough, just book her already! :) -

Elyse Sent on 09/28/2016Anna is amazing: we can't recommend her highly enough! Not only did she deliver beautiful images, but she was truly a joy to be around, getting to know us so we felt completely comfortable around her for our photos. She worked with our schedule and was professional, yet fun. She went above and beyond with her work: you can tell she loves what she does! -

Best photographer EVER
BOOK ANNA! I promise it will be the easiest and best decision you make for your wedding. Anna is the sweetest, happiest, coolest, most talented photographer EVER. She was the first vendor I selected - we met for drinks and instantly connected on a vision. She totally got what we were going for and ending up capturing images our our day that still make me cry whenever I look at them!!! The photos are real, the colors are so rich, and the photos she took captured how the entire day FELT, not just what it looked like. If I ever do a vow renewal or need a photographer I know I can trust, I am 1000% choosing Anna again :)

Anna rocks
Anna is AMAZING! She is so calm, cool and collected - she really eased my nerves and helped direct Mike and I during our NYE2020 wedding (even in the freezing cold)! Her vibe is so perfect and she made our day even more perfect. I loved how well she captured the day and was so in tune with our vision - her style is on point! Also she's just a really cool human being - a total plus :) -
