We’ve been fortunate enough to work with Anais on three separate occasions now – our surprise proposal at Smith Rock, our engagement photos at Lake Crescent (WA) and our wedding weekend at Brasada Ranch. She’s unbelievably talented and brings the perfect balance of professionalism and fun to every interaction. She knows how to occasionally nudge you barely outside of your comfort zone for pictures you otherwise might not have taken, while making sure the essence of who you are as a couple is captured authentically and beautifully. Anais also got along extremely well with everyone at our wedding – guests, wedding party and family members.
We always get over-the-moon excited when we see an email come through from Anais about a new set of photos available for viewing. We plan to use Anais for any and all of our future photography needs, and we would recommend her to anyone, including our closest friends.
(We got married in 2023 at Brasada Ranch just outside of Bend and had about 85 guests.)
Anais was the photographer for our <25-person family-only wedding. She was such a pro - took the time to get to know us, which photos were important to us, family dynamics, etc. Her photos were stunning and she captured the most amazing sunset pics of us and our families, plus was super flexible to requests from guests. Our sneak peak was shared within days and the full edited album within a couple of weeks. Anais was a joy to spend the day with, very relaxed throughout, and we're so glad we were able to work with her!
From our engagement session to our wedding day, Anais truly is our rock star photographer, whom we couldn't ask for more of!
As Anais helped us continually for over two years and during the unprecedented times, she's been so professional and personal at the same time and made our planning effortlessly smooth.
With every single amazing photo, Anais didn't miss any single shot of capturing the beautiful and unforgettable moments.
Thank you Anais for the precious photos that we will cherish forever and hoping to working with you again for our future extended family! =)
Anais is seriously the best! We got married on 10/23/21 and we are blown away from our pictures - we look like models straight out of a magazine! She also sends a ton of sneak peak pictures about 3 days after your wedding. Not only is she professional, but she is very personable. She took the time to get to know us as a couple which made the experience so more fun and memorable! Anais also was very organized which set us at ease. Thank you so much Anais! You are truly one of a kind!
I usually never write reviews, but I felt the urge to write a long one about how wonderful and talented Anais is. The most important aspect of my intimate wedding to me was the photographs, so I knew I needed to find the perfect photographer, who understood what we imagined our wedding to look like. As someone, who has worked with photographers before and has been disappointed, I was so happy to find Anais because her work is outstanding.
From the very beginning and now, Anais has exceed our expectations with her talent, work, kindness, and professionalism. She always promptly answered our questions and concerns for the day and spoke with us a month before to ensure she understood our vision. I knew we could count on her to deliver beautiful photos that captured how much we love each other.
The day of the wedding she arrived earlier than us and we were the ones rushing to meet her. Shooting with her was just as easy as the phones calls with her. Anais was professional, polite, and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. I could really tell how passionate she is about her work, because there was no moment up until the time she left that she stopped taking photos of us.
Her photographs she captured of us shows her outstanding talent to not only capture us in the moment, but also her professional photoshop/editing skills she did on our photographs.
We received a sneak preview two days after our wedding with a great selection of edited photographs that we could show our extended family. These photographs exceeded my expectations and I could not have been more excited to share them with our families.
Last but not least, I need to highlight how Anais's kindness as a professional photographer is something I will never forget on our wedding day. Besides marrying my best friend, Anais really made that day so happy and special for us. We are truly grateful and blessed to have found such a kind and talented photographer to capture our day.
I hope to cross paths with Anais in the future to capture more important life moments for us, because she will and always will be my first choice.
I cannot express enough gratitude to Anais for our experience with her. She specializes in elopements (but does full weddings all the time too) and we were particularly struck with her amazing photos on the Princeton University campus in NJ, which she has photographed many times. It is a special place to us and where we wanted to have our elopement there and she guided us through the whole process while also adding in our suggestions. Her photos are AMAZING - the quality, the composition, everything. She recommended how and when to do the ceremony outdoors, connected us with a lovely officiant and other vendors in the area.
From day 1 the process was super easy - we connected virtually and set up our plans for the day. I wanted to keep it casual and laid back but with some key time points.
We barely had to speak more than that and she knew exactly what I wanted. She was so easy to work with and made me super comfortable on my wedding day. She of course was on time, whipped us into action and even drove me over to my location so we didn't have to get an uber. My husband was even comfortable getting his photo taken and he usually hates it. And she captured some amazing ones of our dog who is such a monster!
We love our photos so much! Wishing we could do it all over again! Don't hesitate to hire her!
When I was choosing vendors for our wedding day, I knew that I wanted someone that was similar to us so that we could vibe together on that day. (As cheesy as that sounds, it's so important!). From the first conversation with Anais, I knew that she was going to be the one to capture our wedding day. It seemed liked we had known her for ages. She is so personable, funny, and professional.
With COVID, we downsized our wedding significantly (170 to 20 people) and Anais was so responsive, courteous, and never frustrated with the changes and constant emailing to figure out our plan. As someone who is super organized, I appreciated having her be the same way!
As for the day, she was ON TOP OF IT! Anais and her second shooter had split up for the morning (groom's and bride's homes) and then came together for the ceremony and the rest of the day. She had notes of family members, names, and shots we wanted to make sure that nothing was missed.
My husband and I are not the most ~natural~ when it comes to taking photos so it was important to us to have someone experienced that could guide us through poses to make sure our photos came out amazing. Anais and Gaia were incredible at posing us, and making us feel so comfortable! My husband could not stop talking about how amazing they were and how comfortable they made him feel all day!
Now for the important part - THE PHOTOS! I could not have imagined getting better pictures from our day. It was small and intimate but Anais captured every single aspect so perfectly. She was able to incorporate all of the things that were important to us into our shoots and bring the beautiful landscape into each photograph.
We got married on a Saturday and by Monday afternoon we received a sneak peak of our wedding photos. This was so unexpected but such a wonderful surprise to have photos from our day so soon after. I could not imagine feeling more beautiful than I did in the photos that Anais took.
Our full album was delivered in about three weeks which is extremely fast for any wedding photography of this high quality. My husband and I and our families and friends were absolutely blown away by the way she captured our day.
Anais, you are so talented! I am so happy that we chose you to photograph our wedding and I could not imagine it any other way.
From our first conversation I knew Anais would be the perfect photographer for my bride and me. I submitted a request on her website and she responded within an hour and we were on the phone shortly after that. She was enthusiastic and very easy to talk to. I knew she'd be able to bring out the best in us on our wedding day.
The day of, Anais showed up early and was able to capture us getting ready at the house. Then she was ready at the ceremony site when we showed up to capture all angles while still maintaining physical distance for COVID. Finally, for the pictures of just us as a couple, Anais gave excellent direction and made the whole experience a lot of fun.
10/10 I would recommend Anais to everyone I know.
Anais is truly one of the most talented wedding photographers you can find. Just a quick browse through her website showcases some of her magnificent work. We found one of her photos on Pinterest and immediately wanted to work with her for our NYC elopement. Communication and coordinating the day with her was so easy. She responded very quickly to any questions or concerns we had. When we met her on the day of our elopement, she was punctual, professional, and very sweet. She made us feel comfortable to just be ourselves in front of the camera, which really came through in the final product. Her turn around time was insanely fast and we were absolutely blown away by the photos. Our only problem now is choosing which ones to print because we are seriously in love them them all!! Thank you so much, Anais, for capturing our special day and our love! We look forward to working with you again on future couple's shoots around the city!
Anais is amazing!! From the moment I contacted her, Anais responded immediately and brought our vision to life! She was very professional and made the photoshoot EFFORTLESS! We received our sneak peak within hours and our final product within days! I am speechless with how our pictures turned out! Anais- thank you so much for capturing us in the most beautiful way possible. I will forever be starring at these pictures! You are amazing and I would HIGHLY recommend Anais to anyone who is looking for top quality/effortless looking pictures! THANK YOU ANAIS!!
Where to even start!
Amazing work.
With only two weeks to plan our elopement, we were so lucky Anais was available to be our photographer. She was so fun to work with, easy to communicate, professional, open to any ideas we had in mind, and the results were nothing but amazing. She’s very creative and has a great attitude. We were so surprised with how quick we got our sneak peek and just a few days later, she had our entire gallery up and ready to pick our favorites so she could start working on our album.
We cannot thank Anais enough for capturing our perfect day.
AMAZING!!
My husband and I met up with Anais and her husband in Yosemite, CA for our one year anni shoot! We all decided to be early risers for a sunrise shoot and the setting could not have been better!
Anais had all of the locations scouted, was SO creative in the ways she positioned us and had us move around to capture that genuine moment, and we had so much FUN! My husband enjoyed himself so much and he generally doesn’t enjoy taking photos lol.
Not only did we have a blast hanging out with Anais and her hubby, but the photos are amazing! I didn’t realize what style of photos I loved until I saw ours come back! She captures your heart and your special day in such a way that captures you and your spirit!
Last Sunday I had the privilege to second shoot for Anaïs Possamaï and I am amazed by her work and dedication.
She basicaly never leaves her camera, and wants to make sure that she will be capturing every single detail ,reaction and details of your wedding day. Anaïs is sweet and caring about her couples. I am a wedding photographer as well, but if I was going to renew my vows with my hubby I would love to be photographed by her.
We cannot begin to describe how happy we were with Anais. We scheduled her for the full package and she was amazing throughout the entire wedding year. She considered all of our detailed requests and delivered that and more, including her own creative adds/energy. From the start, Anais made sure we were comfortable in front of the camera and she made the entire experience thoroughly enjoyable. We were comfortable bouncing ideas off her and appreciated her creative feedback and expertise. On our wedding day, things couldn’t have gone smoother and she played a vital role in that; not only with her photography skills but also with her wonderful personality. It helped us relax and remember why we were there. Anais, you rock, we love you, thank you for capturing such beautiful moments that we will always be able to remember. We will call you when Skunk’s going to be a big brother and we need another photoshoot
Working with Anais was an absolute pleasure and went far above and beyond our expectations. She was easy to communicate with leading up to the date and helped us think through things we didn't even know to consider!
The weekend of the wedding Anais was such a pleasure to have around - she was helpful and sociable, but also unobtrusive in terms of the photography, catching us in honest moments and helping us be at ease.
Throughout the process she was a thoughtful, relaxed presence and incredibly generous with her time. It was abundantly clear that she "got us" and what we were after for our day.
Most importantly perhaps, the final product is just spectacular. So many of our guests seeing the photos after commented that they were "magazine quality." We look like the best versions of ourselves. We can't wait to start framing and using them!
I can't say enough about how much we love Anais and the photos she delivered to us. She did an incredible job and we are thrilled with the results! She made us feel comfy and was really understanding when the rain started to impede our timeline.
We literally cannot stop gushing about them. Our families are also going insane :)
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
We booked Anais to take some engagement photos of us whilst we were on vacation in NYC and what can I say? WOW! The photos are truly remarkable. My fiancee mentioned to me several times since the shoot that this (the photoshoot) is one of the best presents that I’ve ever bought her. We’re absolutely in love with the photos (as are our families) and we’ve already printed, framed and hung one up in the house.
I’ve worked with numerous wedding photographers (I'm a wedding videographer) over the years and I have to say that her professionalism and quality of work really stood out. I had already made a decision on who I wanted as my wedding photographer before we met, now I’ve changed my mind!
Anaïs is amazing and her pictures left us completely speechless. Already the “sneak peek” pictures she sent us right after our elopement in Brooklyn had us excited, but we could never have expected the beauty and emotion she was able to capture in the full set of images she sent us (less than a week after our ceremony btw!). All of them are simply out of this world and we literally sat in silence taking them in because we could not believe them. Anaïs managed to see us and capture us just as we are and how we see ourselves, and we know from experience with other photographers that not everyone has that ability. She is not only an insanely talented photographer but also the most authentic human being you'll meet who will make you feel at ease within seconds of meeting her and empower you to make your day your way. We simply could not have had anyone better❤️
Anaïs, thank you for capturing the start of our newest and biggest adventure yet. We are so eternally grateful to have met you and have your care, amazing personality and enthusiasm be part of why we loved our day so much.
We are 100% passing her name around to all of our friends. If you are a couple considering Anaïs against other photographers, please look no further and gift yourselves with the perfect memories and day by booking Anaïs!
