- Katy + Joe

We had the pleasure of working with Anna Claire in June of 2020, after we had to cancel our traditional May wedding due to the pandemic. We decided to elope rather than postpone and ended up doing so very last minute and with minimal preparations. Anna Claire was super flexible and accommodated us the best she could.

We had talked to her on the phone before the big day, but had not met her in person or “virtually”. The morning of our wedding was the first time we saw her. She was very personable and easy going. My then fiancé and I immediately felt comfortable around her!

She took absolutely beautiful pictures of our wedding day and was so discreet we almost forgot she was there! She provided occasional guidance and made suggestions, but was never intrusive or we never felt like the charm and romance of the day was broken or interrupted.

The results were incredibly candid, natural and romantic photographs, which is exactly what we were looking for. I feel I can relive the moments every time I look at them. She captured all the emotions and immortalized them. She did such a good job “documenting” the day that many family members and friends said they felt like they had witnessed our elopement first hand and not just through photos.

During the time she spent with us, Anna Claire also went above and beyond what we expected of her as a photographer. For example, she helped me get ready and buttoned up my dress, which was no easy task! She also kindly offered to carry around a bottle of champagne and a heavy rug we were going to use as “prop”- in addition to all of her gear! - while my fiancé and I hiked to our ceremony location.

Anna Claire was with us late the night of the wedding and, yet, somehow, the sneak peak were in my inbox when we woke up the next morning. We didn’t expect them and she must have worked very hard to get them out to us. It was a truly amazing touch. They made us so happy!

In the end, the pics came out gorgeous and she managed to make me feel and look beautiful. We received many many compliments on our photos. I couldn’t have asked for more.

HIRE HER. SHE IS AMAZING! YOU WON’T REGRET IT!
