Anastasia Strate Photography

volved. We just got our photos back and they were better than we could have expected. We cannot say enough good things about how amazing Anastasia was!!!

really knew how to keep a large wedding party on task while also capturing great photos. Both of our families and the wedding party all mentioned how awesome she was to work with on the day of, which is a huge plus. Not to mention, her turn around time is incredible! We could not be happier with our photos and will cherish them forever.

y. After all, photos last forever! We opted not to get a videographer for our wedding day so we knew these would be the only keepsakes we'd have to mark the event, and boy did Anastasia DELIVER. First of all, she was able to create a custom package for us to get the coverage we needed for our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner coverage (including a mini photoshoot of us as a couple and us with many of our family members), and extra long coverage on our wedding day to get all the fun reception shots! When we finally met in person (postponed for a year because of COVID) to take our engagement photos, Anastasia recommended the dreamiest location for incredible photos with bluebonnets, which is what I really wanted. The location also had a spot where we could take photos by a body of water, which I also really wanted! She totally made it happen! Her photos are truly a work of art, and I love the balance she strikes between fine art and documentary style photography. The couple's portraits she took on our wedding day literally look like they were taken in a fairyland and I felt like a princess. She just sees the world like no one else--let me tell you, the venue was nice-looking in real life but the way it turned out in her photos makes it seem like it was the most gorgeous place ever! This is not due to overediting, it's because Anastasia is able to see the beauty in everyday places and communicate that through her art. Not only was Anastasia great at taking the more "posed" shots, she also got amazing candids of my husband and I interacting and of our reception. I think great reception photos are one of the markers of an exceptional photographer. It's not easy to get remarkable shots when everyone is moving so quickly (dancing) and when it's dark, but Anastasia captured those moments beautifully. I can't IMAGINE how I'll be able to choose which photos to display in our house because there are hundreds that I want to see every single day. Anastasia also has such an incredible demeanor--I was SO nervous about taking our engagement photos but she knew exactly how to make me comfortable in front of the lens (without ever having met me in person before!) and our photos look completely natural. By the time we met again for our rehearsal dinner I felt like a photo-posing pro, thanks to her. She knows how to move a crowd without EVER raising her voice, and got all of our more "difficult" family members to pose in the best possible way. She also has a wonderful attention to detail--she notices the hairtie on the wrist, the lapel that's out of place, and she helped me remember not to thrust my chin too high (which is something I'm always doing subconsciously but I hate the way it looks in photos!). Anastasia radiates a calm, powerful, professional, and fun presence that makes her an absolute dream to work with--I can't recommend her highly enough!

rtist Anastasia is and her natural talent for capturing beauty. We just about spent the entire wedding day with Anastasia and she just put us all at ease and was/is so sweet to work with, she was like family by the end of the night. We are so glad that Anastasia knows to work with a second photographer, and I highly recommend you hire a Photographer, like this one, that utilizes a second photographer. Marisa joined us on this day as well, and having a second shooter at the wedding allowed for more amazing photos from different angles. The lawn shot of the ceremony is one of many favorites. Anastasia is very organized and interacted well with the other wedding vendors as all kept the wedding on time. She is also helpful in suggesting different locations for the Bride and Groom to choose for photos so she is sure to capture the perfect moments. I cannot say how pleased we are that we had Anastasia as our Wedding Photographer and look forward to having her continue to photograph our family in the future. We highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anastasia Strate Photography as your photographer! Thank you Anastasia for the beautiful photos!

. Every single digital and printed photo was beautiful, far exceeding our expectations. Aside from being extremely talented behind the camera, she is kind, compassionate, professional, and easy to get along with. She genuinely cares about her clients, which made working with her so enjoyable. My husband and I were initially pretty camera shy, but she made us feel so comfortable and confident! Anastasia and her assistant made each day such a fun and natural experience—it was truly like hanging out with friends! She was very accomodating and flexible with postponing the reception, which was much appreciated during such a stressful planning period. I was quite overwhelmed leading up to our big celebration this past October—When Anastasia arrived at the bridal suite, I immediately felt a sense of calm. She has an incredible way of being organized and timely while never making you feel rushed. It was extremely windy at our reception, and I don't know how she did it, but you can't even tell in the photos! Something else that stood out to me was that she frequently checked in to make sure I was enjoying the moment, and it meant the world. Honestly, we only have good things to say about Anastasia as a photographer and as a person. She has a forever customer in us for future photos. If you are on the fence about which wedding photographer to book, I promise you will be so glad you chose Anastasia!

colors of the day flawlessly, and she truly cares about giving her clients the best. She is not there to just complete a job, but she genuinely loves what she does! She joins in celebrating with you and does anything she can to capture and enhance the joy and beauty of the day. Anastasia is also so sweet and kind as a person; we loved getting to know and work with her! She is the perfect balance of orchestrating photos and falling into the background to let the moments happen naturally. I cannot recommend her enough. Please save yourself some time and book her! You will be forever glad you did!

in return. Hire Anastasia, you won't regret it!

ment we met her I knew she was going to be perfect for us. She is such a genuinely kind person and made the process of getting photos done so seamless and natural. Her style of photography is timeless and we could not be more in love with the photos we got back from the wedding. She listened to everything we wanted and went above and beyond to make sure we got all the amazing shots. (She gets all of the sweet candid moments just perfectly) She had worked with our venue before, as well as almost all of our other vendors which was great! She is incredibly professional, caring, and talented. WE LOVE HER! Thank you for being such a huge part of our special day.

day. Our photos came out beautifully and I'm so happy we chose to hire her as our wedding photographer! Thank you Anastasia and team:)

to work with, super kind and soft spoken but assertive in getting the shots we wanted and keeping to the schedule. I just can't say enough good about Anastasia! We feel so lucky to have had her photograph this special day!!

dding day that was authoritative, but somehow she still managed to be sweet about it! From the start, Anastasia was awesome. We were not sure about taking engagement photos because honestly I wasn't sure why we needed them. She explained it helped us get more comfortable in front of the camera for our wedding day, and I am SO glad we did them!! She was right! Seemed a lot more natural on our wedding day to do do the poses she suggested. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out FANTASTIC!!!! She knew our venue (Camp Lucy) very well and knew all the best places to take photos. We even went over two different plans for photos ahead of time--one for a cloudy day and one for a sunny day. She was so on top of it, and I never felt like she was going to miss any special moments from our big day. She was a great communicator throughout the process and just made everything so easy. She sent me a list of items I might want to bring to the wedding for our flat lay photos, and that was super helpful. On the actual day of our wedding, I felt like she was never in our face, but, if I looked around, she was always close by making sure she got every little moment of the day. It was everything we could have asked for. You must hire her!!! She is the absolute best!!

ed to be.

mooth and easy. She knew how to capture our natural moments, but also guided us with pose suggestions when needed, which we very much appreciated. We had such a positive experience working with Anastasia that I honestly can't imagine working with anyone else!

! On the day of our wedding it was fun to be taking photos with her -- neither my husband nor I are particularly comfortable in front of a camera but you wouldn't know that from how she captured our day. She made the whole process so smooth and comfortable. Seriously -- hire her now, you won't regret it.

res, I told my husband that I felt confident about zero wedding decisions except that Anastasia was the right choice for our photographer! She was even more incredible on the wedding day. Not only is she super talented, she also makes you feel so comfortable together! She's incredibly nice and easy to get along with and her calm demeanor is just what you want/need on your wedding day. At the same time, she's also assertive, which I needed with my family :) She knew how to step in and help at all the right moments, which wasn't even her job (at one point, she helped pin my sister's dress and then cleared out the bridal suite so I could have a moment of peace - who does that?!). Also, there are a lot of photographers out there, but it's hard to find someone who shoots both digital and film- Anastasia does! Don't underestimate this - it distinguishes a true, talented photographer. I don't live in the Austin area, but would absolutely travel there for any photo needs just to say hi to Anastasia and have her take our photos. I could go on and on about how great Anastasia was but bottom line - she's your girl.

and made our wedding photograph a dream come true! She was the first vendor I spotted when searching on The Knot and knew from the beginning that it was meant to be! These pictures mean so much to us and we hope to continue having her photograph special moments in our lives together!❤️💕

et and patient Anastasia was on our wedding day. The next morning she sent us a sneak peak of our photos and we were blown away!!!! She completely exceeded every expectation we had. We cannot wait to use her again for family photos!!

and look natural and comfortable in front of the camera. She was flexible to work with and really cared about making sure to listen to us, also giving suggestions, and ensuring we captured all the great moments of our engagement photos and wedding day. We can’t stop looking at our engagement and wedding photos!! She is one of the best, and we highly recommend her for any event you want captured in timeless photos forever!

picturesque lighting along with maintaining nature's beauty without overly dramatic edits. She is very professional, personable and fun to work with. We highly recommend you book her as your photographer and will definitely recommend her to our friends and family! From the get-go, we loved working with her at our engagement shoot. We also really appreciated Anastasia's attention to detail! My husband and I sometimes can be awkward posing for photos and Anastasia directed us exactly on how we should change our posture or have our hands placed. Despite some craziness during wedding week and the morning of our big day (that was out of anyone's control), she was super organized and made us feel at ease throughout the day. Anastasia also has a really good sense of how to work with the room, especially when we took our family photos post-ceremony. My husband and I were really pleasantly surprised that she even sent us some previews of our wedding photos the next day!! We have found our photographer and will most likely book with her again with family portraits once my husband and I start a little family of our own. I look forward to working with her again and can't wait till we get the chance to look at the rest of our wedding photos!

ding planner, and honestly booking her was the easiest decision we made during our wedding planning. We are still in awe at how perfect our pictures turned out, and we are forever grateful for Anastasia. Do yourself a favor and book her now!!

but got married at Camp Lucy in Dripping Springs so I had her shoot our engagement pictures in the hill country as well. I am so glad we ended up doing that as it felt like she was just a friend was coming to shoot our wedding for us on our big day! She truly is the sweetest, most professional photographer I have ever dealt with. We loved our engagement and wedding photos so much that we will be back for family photos someday! LOVE LOVE LOVE ANASTASIA STRATE PHOTOGRAPHY!!!

when you have a million things going on. She's efficient and also knows how to handle difficult friends, family etc (that comes from first hand experience with my now in-laws...). Her assistant photographer at the wedding was also great!! Most importantly, her photography is just down right beautiful. Nothing looks overly doctored or edited- she just knows how to capture natural beauty and light perfectly weather indoors or out. It's absolutely stunning. Do yourself a favor and book Anastasia while you can!!
