Anita Louise Photo & Video is a wedding photography business located in Cleveland, OH.
Capturing what actually happens: the rose garden ceremony, the rooftop clinks, the candid smiles, the hysterical laughs, and the happy tears. From the quivering beards, the toe-tapping, and the groomsmen twerking to the hors d’oeurves snarfing, that one uncle who would rather be watching the game and is currently streaming it to his phone, these are the moments that make the day real.
It’s about you, so all of my packages are custom-made for you. After you fill out the contact form, we will talk about your day and how we can work together.
Your package could include full coverage, after-party coverage, additional photographers, wedding albums, engagement sessions, boudoir sessions, video, wedding films, uncut footage of the ceremony and speeches, downloads, high-resolution images and prints, and 24-hour sneak peeks.

We couldn't be happier with Anita and her incredible team! From the beginning, their communication was excellent, making the entire process stress-free and seamless. Anita is not only incredibly talented but also so genuine and fun to work with. A special shoutout to John for creating the most heartwarming video that perfectly captured the essence of our day. Thank you for giving us memories we'll cherish forever. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptionl photography and videography!
Anita and John were amazing!!!! Not only are they super cool people but they were so helpful and so kind on the day of our wedding!
The end result from working with an amazing photographer and videographer duo like this made our wedding a day feel like a fairy tale we will never forget! The pictures captured our day perfectly! Our wedding film brings happy tears to my eyes every time I watch it! Anita and John definitely put effort into getting to know us as a couple and the photos they took reflected that in the best way!
10/10 recommend Anita Louise Photography!
I also booked Anita for a small bridal shoot months after my wedding to get a few more intimate photos of me in my dress that I missed/forgot to ask for due to my own anxiety on my wedding day. She was so kind and understanding which helped me to heal my anxiety and produced some truly amazing bonus photos! Would definitely book Anita Louise again and again!!
Anita and John are the perfect team who will get the exact shots you want and even better ones you never expected! I worked with them for my sisters wedding and then my own. I’m very impressed with their work but also their personalities are so fun and make you feel comfortable while also being very professional. No regrets at all! Wish I could do it all again!
Any questions?
Anita and John helped make our day everything we hoped for from the minute we made con tact with them. They were easy and quick to communicate with, made adjustments with me on the fly when I came up with a new idea or plan and helped to create and execute a timeline for our day seamlessly, as I didn’t have a coordinator. They are so kind and easy to work with, and make you feel comfortable in front of a camera even if it’s not really your thing. They kept our day moving along smoothly, making sure to pay close attention to things we told them were really important to us. Their image and video quality did not disappoint either, stunning portraits, candids and every detail in between. Their turnaround for everything was timely so we were grateful for that too. I could not recommend Anita and John enough and would choose them 10 x over if I did it all over again!
Anita and John helped make the planning process seamless. Having John as videographer would out amazing because he also could jump in as a second photographer. The conversations leading up to wedding day helped narrow down style preferences of photographs and from there, they work their magic!
THE BEST! I couldn’t have been happier with Anita and John. From the initial phone call and emails to the follow up - everything was spectacular. I am so happy they were available for our wedding. They truly are the best!
If you want to have timeless photos and videos from your wedding don't think, just book!!! Anita and John were absolutely amazing and helped to make us both feel so comfortable. The photos and videos came out even better than we ever could have hoped!!!
Anita was amazing! She was with us from our engagement photo session and throughout the wedding day. She didn't mind all my Instagram recommendations of 'ooohh lets do this.' She was a joy to have and we would reach out to her for any photo needs in the future. She worked well and communicated with other vendors on our wedding day. Many compliments. Thank you Anita.
Anita was a blast to work with! Right out of the gate, Anita made it clear how time-oriented she was when it came to organizing the wedding day. Through talking with her, we were able to order a package that captured everything we wanted in our wedding, and even saw past examples of her work at our venue. Anita was very professional, and helped us stay organized with expectations moving forward. When posing for photos for engagement shoots and on our wedding day, Anita and John gave clear instructions/mirroring to help. She was also able to help when last-minute changes/conflicts came up the week before our wedding. We are still waiting for our whole wedding day photos, but the photos we received are wonderful. We can't wait to see the rest, and would definitely recommend Anita to anyone looking for a wedding photo/video team!
When we met with Anita Louise we were so impressed by her process and questions. She wanted to know who we were as a couple so she could truly highlight our relationship in our engagement photos and wedding photos. From the beginning, Anita made sure that we were happy with the planning process and we absolutely loved our engagement photos which we used for our Save the Dates.
She worked with us to determine the timing of our wedding day to ensure we were able to get all of the photos we wanted, including our first look. She (and her husband John) went above and beyond throughout the wedding day and even sent us a sneak peek at our first look, bridal party, cake cutting and first dance photos the day after our wedding. I loved that she would gently remind people before photos to remove phones from pockets or take off sunglasses - she noticed every detail before anyone else did. Anita was so easy to work with and we love all of the photos! We are so happy that we worked with her for our special day!
- Elliott & Andrea Alloway, married August 11, 2023
Anita and John made us feel comfortable and at ease from the moment we met. My partner is not a photo person (the most awkward fake smile!) and is general skeptical of all things wedding (poses, stereotypes, etc.), but being with Anita and John felt like being with friends - totally disarming, relaxing, and easy. We had the best experience taking engagement pictures in the fall and loved the chance to get to know them prior to wedding day. During the wedding, Anita and John struck the perfect balance of being everywhere and capturing everything (yay candids!), while also blending into the reception. They never took us away from the party. And I guess the most important thing of all - the pictures are stunning.
Just amazing!! Everyone says to chose your wedding photographer wisely because, besides your new spouse, the photographer will be the one you spend the majority of the day with. Anita and John were simply the dream team! We felt so comfortable being our goofy selves at our engagement session and wedding because of how well they matched our energy! Even our guests and bridal party had nothing but great things to say.
They are just so talented! Our pictures are breathtaking and our video is just incredible - they captured our favorite day perfectly.
Anita is the absolute best wedding photographer. She came very prepared, came early to both venues to take photos before everyone came, and was able to capture so many beautiful moments. She was very excited to shoot an ethnic wedding and was very respectful of our traditions. She had a huge task ahead of her too: she got beautiful photos of a HUGE wedding party (23 people), was able to accommodate disabilities in her photo location choices, and was able to get photos of us and our dog too. You will love Anita! She made sure to text me during the planning process, the day of the wedding, and made sure to follow up with me after I received the photos. I cannot recommend Anita enough!!
There aren't enough words to express how amazing Anita is. She was our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding. She made us feel so comfortable to be around. For our engagement session we wanted to do two different settings, one outdoors and one with pie incorporated. We originally wanted to have it done at a local pie shop but were slightly derailed, however she made it happen! Our engagement photos turned out phenomenal. Then, when it came to our wedding, we were ahead of schedule and she was on top of it! She made all of our family members feel good and knew what she was doing.
Throughout the planning process she listened to us and honored our family requests. I felt heard and all I asked was that our love for one another show through our photos and she delivered. I highly highly recommend!
Very personable and fun to be around on top of capturing beautiful moments!
Anita was the best! We booked her based on the recommendation of a family friend and we are so happy we did! We were so happy with our engagement shoot with Anita and working with her on our wedding day was a lot of fun. We were ecstatic when we received sneak peek photos on our wedding night. We are so glad we chose Anita as our wedding photographer!
I first found Anita on the knot while helping my sister for her fall 2019 wedding. I fell IN LOVE with her esthetic and vibe, and prayed she’d be available. I messaged Anita online, she responded within minutes, and we were talking on the phone within the hour. We instantly bonded. My sister’s engagement photos (included with her wedding package) and wedding photos were STELLAR!!! Seriously immaculate. It was at the wedding I discover Anita is also an MFM fan, which further cemented our bond. If you know, you know.
Fast forward a year and it was my turn! I booked Anita before I booked anything else. I literally checked her availability and that’s how we picked our site and every other vendor—THATS HOW IMPORTANT it was for her to be our photographer.
Fast, fast forward a year of wedding planning and anxiety, Anita was there every step of the way. Our engagement photos were INCREDIBLE. She and John are so fun and truly make you feel at ease! If you’re nervous about just what to do with yourself and not look like a deer in headlights, they are awesome at direction and guidance. I was even tickled at the emails she sends to not only help her have an idea of what you’re looking for, but seriously helped me consider what was important to me and helped me plan.
And finally—5 days before our New Years Day wedding, everyone came down with Covid. We had to postpone the big wedding, PANIC COMMENCE! We decided to get married at my dads house with just immediate family anyways, what Anita dubbed, our “living room elopement,” and she and John could not have been more accommodating. Not only that, but when we were able to reschedule our wedding reception at the venue, Anita and John DIDN’T CHARGE US EXTRA. I think her words were along the lines of, “we’re in this for the long haul.” Chica could have charged double, I still would have hired her (No take backs Anita!). But I mean, come on…just how much more amazing could you ask your wedding photographer to be?!
And our wedding photos? They are EVERYTHING to me. Exactly my esthetic and worth every single penny!!! John also got to shoot a video of our reception using some new fancy equipment they have and it is so good!
Y’all, I hate writing reviews and this was eight pages long if you needed any more of an indication of just how much I love Anita Louise Photography. Stop what you’re doing and hire this photographer!!!
Anita and John are the best! They made our wedding day go smoother than we ever could have imagined. They were quick but very efficient with all our photos and they turned out fantastic! Anita is so sweet and you can tell they really love what they do and it truly shows through their work! I would recommend them 10/10 times!
Anita, John and Sophie were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day! We ended up adding extra hours to our package because we didn't want to miss a single thing on our big day, and these three were the DREAM TEAM! We had a VERY wild bunch that we had for all of the big moments throughout the day and it couldn't have gone smoother! They worked with us on all of the must-have photos we wanted and the locations that we were wanting to go to. The weather thankfully held off for all of the big group and destination pictures, but unfortunately we weren't able to get some photos around the venue's property due to the rain/mud, which was my personal choice to save my dress and shoes from getting ruined. But Anita, John and Sophie easily found another solution that completely made up for it (the best rainbow picture you'll ever see)!
Working with these three made us feel like we've known them forever. They truly made all of us feel comfortable in our own skin, captured the best content and candid photos that we're going to appreciate til the end of time, and they made it so much fun! Anita Louise Photography was amazing to work with and did not disappoint even in the least bit. We loved spending every second with them for our engagement photos and especially our wedding day, and we would book them countless times over!
Anita and John were absolutely AMAZING! These two always made us feel so comfortable and were truly invested in us! I still remember my first call with Anita when she asked about our relationship (how we met, how we got engaged, who we are, etc.) and that stuck with me immediately because it showed she really cared about her couples! I cannot praise both of them on their amazing work! We are absolutely OBSESSED with how everting turned out! Our friends and family also enjoyed their company which says a lot about the amazing people they are! We are so happy that these two got to capture our special day!!
Anita & John are absolutely amazing! They put so much effort into knowing their couples and truly made us feel like we’ve been lifelong friends. They’re fun to work with and so responsive to any and every question we had. Their pictures and our sneak peaks have been amazing and we cannot wait to see our full wedding album and video!
Anita and John and their team were awesome to work with for both our engagement and wedding photos and video. They were so much fun and made us feel super comfortable. They were able to capture all of the best moments of our day without getting in the way and I received compliments from all of our guests all throughout the day/evening. Anita was always quick to respond whenever I had a question and we received all of our photos and video in a timely matter. We even received a sneak peak of a bunch of photos the day right after the wedding which I really loved and appreciated.
This review is coming shamefully late on my part but Anita deserves ALL of the recognition of how wonderful she was to work with. My partner and I used Anita for our engagement session as well as for the day of our wedding and we cannot recommend her enough. Both my husband and I are not great when it comes to staged photos but Anita made us feel so comfortable and relaxed during the engagement shoot that you couldn’t even tell we didn’t know what to do with our hands (luckily she helped with that too!). The day of she completely took the reigns and took all of the weight and responsibility off of our shoulders. We were able to just enjoy the day as she dotingly followed us around getting both staged and candid shots that we had no idea we even wanted until we saw just how breathtaking they were. There’s a lot to stress about on a wedding day, but for us, the photography was not one of them. She coordinated with all of our other vendors on our behalf to make sure we got the shots we wanted (and more) without us having to worry about anything. She took all of our delays and drama in stride and was always so understanding when things didn’t go as planned, like when the 6 year old flower girl has a meltdown and doesn’t want her picture taken. Anita truly cares about her couples and goes above and beyond to tell each persons unique love story and for that we are so grateful to have worked with her. She is cool, laid back, and a hilarious person to have at your side on your big day. I would highly recommend her for ANY photography needs.
Anita and John were amazing to work with for our wedding photography/videography! They were well organized and had great suggestions and answers to all of our questions ahead of time. They made us feel confident that our day would flow without a hitch. Anita and John captured our day perfectly! We could not have asked for anything better. They took their time to get to know us and our wedding photos and videos depicted who we are as individuals and as a couple so perfectly!! We would highly recommend Anita and John for your wedding photo/video needs.
They were very comfortable to work with! They were also very easy to contact and would involve us every step of the way from planning engagement pictures to waiting for pictures/video after the wedding. We definitely recommend them to everyone.
We seriously couldn’t have been happier with our decision to hire Anita and her partner, John, as our photographers. They have an incredible vision, and you can sit back and completely trust them during your big day. They covered everything from our rehearsal dinner on Friday night to the Saturday night wedding sparkler exit. From every meeting, to phone call, to email, we felt so at ease! Anita and John are incredible at their jobs and we’ll be staying in touch as new friends. We can’t thank y’all enough. Thanks for being apart of our journey ❤️
I cannot say enough great things about Anita and her team! When we began out vendor search, I immediately felt a connection with Anita and our comfort shows in every amazing photo she has taken with us. Planning our wedding from afar, Anita and her team made it so easy to feel like we were always in the loop and every detail was accounted for. We used her for engagement photos, boudoir photos, and by the time we got to the wedding it felt like we were working with an old friend! Anita goes out of her way to listen to her clients, bring fun new ideas, and is always up for a challenge! She was so fun and comfortable to work with, but still knew how to direct large groups of people to keep us on our tight timeline. Our entire wedding party, even our vendors were raving about Anita during the reception! She turned around an amazing sneak peek the very next day, and we have been obsessing over how beautiful our photos are. Her natural and candid style truly captured the emotion and happiness of our wedding. We loved working with her so much, we just might have to make up another reason to work with her again now that the wedding has happened!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME! These two are the most amazing people to work with and their pictures took my breath away. They put so much time and detail into every photo and make you feel so comfortable while shooting even if you’re awkward in front of a camera like my husband and I! I would pick Anita and John a million times over to photograph just about anything. Great work Anita and John we love our pictures ❤️
We had such a great time w Anita and John! Down to earth, good vibe, sent us an awesome sneak peek! It was sweltering, and they stayed cool, literally and figuratively! We’ve already recommended them to my cousin for her wedding next year!
If you are searching for a down-to-earth photographer and videographer with a unique eye for detail and emotion, you NEED Anita and John!!
The two of them are incredibly talented, kind artists who just so happen to shoot weddings. They radiate warmth and friendliness, which made my husband and I feel like we were hanging with old friends during our engagement shoot in October. Anita and her team were precise and prompt in correspondence, and whenever we texted or emailed she always seemed truly excited for our wedding!
When the big day finally arrived in June, Anita and John were simply the best. They captured genuine moments between the two of us, kept our friends and family smiling, and even got on the dance floor with us! We received a sneak peak with a ton of photos the NEXT DAY, and got our album less than 6 weeks later, and I know our video will be just as special. We cannot wait to use them for future memorable occasions - they feel like family now!
Omg... Anita and John were AMAZING! Any future photography needs, we’re going to them. They were such a blast to work with! They made everything so much fun and hyped us up all day! They sent us our sneak peek and the photos look incredible. You fill out questionnaires prior to the wedding to let them know exactly what you’re looking for and special moments you want to make sure they catch and they got all of it! All of our bridal party asked about them for their future photos too! You won’t regret booking them!
Anita is the best photographer around, hands down! She rocked my engagement shoot and then worked with me when I had to move my wedding not once but twice due to Covid. She took photos of my tiny backyard wedding at no extra cost, and then also took photos on the big wedding day when it finally arrived. She cares about every single bride and works to make your day so special and seamless. Her style is very candid and when you look at the photos you feel that you are back in that moment. John and the rest of her team are extremely talented and worth every penny. If you have questions definitely reach out and just schedule a conversation with her, you won't be disappointed. Also, they are such a great hype team and got people dancing at the wedding which was so fun!
Anita was so amazing to work with! She was very flexible the day of our wedding with getting any shots that we and our family wanted. She and John also did an amazing job on our engagement photos. Our sneak peak came so quickly that we were able to show friends and family the photos before everyone left town. We are so excited to receive the rest!
Anita and John were absolutely amazing at our August wedding! With everything crazy going on in 2020, they made our day effortless and perfect. We got our sneak peak the next day, and our full album about a month later. It has taken me months to finally narrow down which photos to print because they are ALL amazing! Not only are they talented photographers - they're great friends, hype men, and support on your big day. For example, I was getting anxious because we were running behind schedule for the wedding. The wedding coordinator came in to our room and reminded us we were behind. Anita, seeing my worry, took it upon herself to talk to the coordinator and tell her we'd be ready soon and we'd come outside when we're ready. It eased my nerves more than she even knew! She pulled me aside and reminded me - this is my day, I can't even be late if I wanted to, they need me to start. She helped me be present, take a deep breath, and live in that moment. That speaks volumes about the person and photographer she is. She captured the best day of my life and became my friend. I CAN'T recommend them enough. 5/5 stars is not enough.
From the beginning Anita has been absolutely amazing. Our engagement photoshoot was captured perfectly, despite our restless toddler who put on quite a show. Even with that obstacle, Anita was able to focus on us and make the photos something we love to look back on. She helps you figure out ever detail down to your timeline the day of, gives the direction you need on your big day and a lot of laughter along the way. I can’t say enough about how wonderful of a job she did. I’m actually sad the wedding is over because I won’t get to work with her like that again but hopefully we’ll have a chance to work with her somehow in the future!
I have booked Anita and John for my wedding photography/videography fit in 2022! I recently had my engagement session with them and it was so fun!! They made modeling less awkward and were so helpful with posing! I love their personalities and their work is AMAZING! I got my pictures back in about a week which is great!! Highly recommend
I was so excited and relieved when Anita confirmed she was free the day of our wedding and we could book her! Her photos are incredible, she's unbelievably sweet, super responsive, and a joy to work with! She was flexible and understanding when it came to making COVID-related changes. She warned us it could take up to 8 weeks to receive our wedding photos with a late summer wedding, but they were available ahead of the deadline. We booked John as our second shooter, and the quality of his photos was equally fantastic. Highly, highly recommended! Thank you so much!
Anita and John are not only SO talented with their pictures but they are amazing people. They made the whole experience beyond what we ever could have expected. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone who will listen. Anita and John, THANK YOU! From the bottom of our hearts, so thrilled to have had such amazing photographers and people be apart of our day.
Anita and John are AMAZING! We love them so much. They made everything a breeze for us, especially since we are both very awkward photo takers. Very professional and so down to Earth. Couldn't have been happier with the way everything went and turned out. I will be calling them for baby and family portraits in the future. It was a pleasure to work with them!
Anita and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! She’s so personable and makes the entire process such a breeze! I can’t rant and rave enough about how our engagement pictures turned out exactly how we envisioned and portrayed who we are. We haven’t received our entire wedding day gallery yet, but from the sneak peaks she sent (the morning after our wedding!) I can tell they will be absolutely beautiful. Our guests noticed how hard they worked on the day of our wedding and we can’t wait to share all of the beauty they captured! Also she’s seriously the best hype man and gives you the confidence to feel like the the most beautiful bride as you should on your special day!
Anita took my engagement photos and wedding photos. She was amazing! I told her to make me look skinny (lol) and she worked wonders by coaching us into very flattering poses! She is fun so easy to get to know- you’ll feel like you’ve known her for years! During our ceremony our flower girls (adorably) got a little lost and she waved at them and showed them which way to go, keeping things running smoothly! She was always responsive, on time, and a good listener. I got my sneak peak photos back almost immediately after my wedding! I highly recommend her
The first time I spoke with Anita on the phone it felt like I was speaking with someone I’ve known for years. She is SO friendly!!!!! Her and John were so supportive during planning with interference from COVID. We had them photograph our small wedding ceremony on May 16th and then our reception on July 24th. The photographs are gorgeous and when my husband and I look through them we get to relive two of the greatest days of our lives! The turnaround time for photos was also quick! Plus, she provides a sneak peak of photos a few days after the ceremony! Oh! And she’ll add you to a Facebook group with her other brides so you can get picture inspo for your own day, as well as keep in touch! Fun fact: they’re now both ordained so when your pastor no shows they’ve got you covered. (Yes our pastor forgot about our wedding 🤦🏼♀️)! Anyways, my husband and I could not be more pleased with their photography. ❤️
We are so happy with Anita and John's work! They did such a great job capturing the feel of our special day. The candids and the portraits alike are high quality. Anita was so supportive and flexible, even when our wedding was adjusted to be more intimate given the circumstances. She did a great job communicating and getting to know us/the vibe we wanted leading up to the wedding. We received many compliments about how personable and professional she was during the day to our guests/family. We highly recommend!!
Anita and John were amazing to work with! So accommodating, thorough, and the attention to detail meant a lot to us. They were easy to work with, and really appreciated every single detail. I loved the photos, and how they capture everything we wanted. We’re looking forward to putting together our beautiful wedding album.
Anita is your friend, not just your wedding photographer. She is passionate about what she does and it shows! She communicates with you every step of the way. We enjoyed having Anita and John at our wedding to capture our special day! We will cherish all of the wonderful images for years to come.
YOU. NEED. ANITA. FOR. YOUR. WEDDING!! Not only is Anita professional (and her work is amazing), but she is so kind, personable and caring!! She made the whole process so smooth leading up to our wedding and literally made our day so much fun!!! I get super awkward in front of the camera and she makes you feel so comfortable and is always making you laugh!! I gained a new friend and I could never thank Anita enough!!!!
We had a amazing time working with Anita and John as our wedding photographers. Our pictures turned out amazing and we could not be happier with our choice to have Anita capture memories of our special day. She made everything so easy from our first meeting to our wedding day details. She is such a ray of sunshine! I would recommend her to any bride!
Anita is an absolute gem to work with - she made our wedding day so fun and everything went so smoothly with her. We each had 12 bridesmaids/groomsmen so capturing photos of that many people could not have been an easy task and she made it seem effortless and leads to tastefully! She's so fun to be around and the way she took charge in making photos happen was so comforting. I even started booking her for my work events because her work is THAT good and her customer services is flawless. There is a reason she is getting so popular so fast in the wedding and event industry - she is pure talent and has a real eye for capturing candid and posed photos. I highly recommend her more than I could ever explain!
From the very first phone call, engagement session, and wedding day, working with Anita & John was like hanging out with childhood friends. She is fun, vibrant, and makes every moment easy- a personal cheerleader. Our engagement session was quick and my husband and I had an absolute blast - it felt like a date night in the city! The wedding day was truly a breeze because they were there to help guide us. Anita helped with our timeline and flow of the day, and totally got us, we could be ourselves and I could honest with them. Our photos are absolutely incredible. The ceremony at the church was pretty important to us, and the shots all turned out stunning! We love all of our photos and Anita & John. I am SO THANKFUL we found them!
We are over the moon over our choice to hire Anita for our wedding! Anita was so professional and personable from the first call. She felt like a friend, someone that would do whatever she could to make sure your photos were exactly what you wanted. Meeting her and John only confirmed that. They were both amazing to work with, and amazing to hang out while shooting with. They made us feel so comfortable. Before our wedding, Anita called to talk to me about the shots I had to have for our wedding, and general ideas I had for the day. She rolled with whatever we wanted, and made us feel like a million dollars. Our entire bridal party commented on how incredible her and John were. Once we finished everything she truly felt like a friend.
And the photos?! Absolute magic. We could not be happier and cannot recommend her enough.

Thank you Casey!! This is exactly my goal as a photographer. I strive to make you FEEL on your wedding day. It's your day and it's not about photography. I mean, of course we got dope photos---you looked like a queen. But it's not about the pho...
tos, it's about you marrying your person and feeling every second of the day.
Your wedding was gorg and John and I had a blast. I hope the married life is AMAZING!
Literally the greatest photographer ever! Anita and her team were so amazing and the pictures came out beautiful! Simple, classic, and fun. So grateful!
Wow, we cannot express how much we enjoyed working with Anita. From the start she was incredibly responsive, personable, and willing to listen to what we envisioned. Throughout the whole process, she was very organized and always made us excited about our wedding day. The day of was seamless. She captured every picture we wanted, was open to any idea, and made it just a stress free and fun day. The pictures turned out absolutely fantastic. We keep getting compliments on the quality. Anita and John went above and beyond for us. Would recommend over and over again!
I am so thankful that we had the privilege of working with Anita for our wedding! We were very happy with how easy and seamless communication was with her. She is a dream to work with and really puts in the effort to let your personality shine through her photos. The photos themselves are so beautiful and really captured our day. From beginning to end we could not have been more thrilled with her and John!
First of all, I decided to book Anita because she was the only photographer that wanted to call and talk directly to me. When I did, her enthusiasm was contiguous and I was sold. Anita, and her partner John, were so great with my husband, who is a real stick in the mud about having his picture taken. By the end of the journey, Anita and John pretty much felt like family. And the pictures?? Gorgeous!!! I would recommend Anita to anyone and everyone.
We could not be happier with hiring Anita for our photographer. Her and John are amazing and make you feel comfortable as well as just allow you to have fun! We did a “mini elopement” during our engagement photos and we LOVE all the shots Anita and John got. They will also be doing our wedding celebration next year as well. Highly recommend them!! You will not be disappointed and will also gain a friend, not just a photographer!!
Seriously, look for further for an amazing team of photographers! Anita and John have been so helpful since I first reached out for engagement photos. They make you feel so comfortable and make the process SO fun. They were flexible and easy going during the wedding, even when things got a bit crazy. My favorite thing about Anita is how she is always trying to do more for her brides. She has a facebook group for us to hype each other up before the big day, share experiences, and recommend other vendors. She keeps evolving and growing to better serve her brides. I am so happy I went with Anita for my wedding. She is such a light and makes an exciting day very memorable.
ps. She even sent sneak peak photos the very NEXT DAY
Anita is so so talented! She captured everything I wanted from my wedding and the pictures turned out amazinggggg! I was so comfortable around her and she made it very very easy to capture nice photos! Throughout the planning process, Anita was very very responsive and made sure all my questions were answered! Out of everyone I’ve worked with for my wedding, Anita was the most thorough person I’ve worked with and she really makes sure she has all of the information she needs to ensure you get the results you want! Loved working with her! ❤️
Anita is like working with sunshine. She is incredibly friendly and welcoming, but also did a bad ass job with our wedding and rehearsal dinner. I hope I can hire her again.
Anita and John!
We researched, interviewed, reviewed, got recommendations from others but the moment we met you both we knew you were the ones.
Me and my husband from Israel and we decided to get married here in Cleveland where we live right now, so we looked for someone that we will be in our minds and we are so glad that I found you!
Working with you was so much fun, relaxing and you makes us feel so comfortable the whole day.
You have a strong partnership and know exactly what angles of pictures you need to take!
You listened to us, incorporated our ideas and wishes, and gave us a final product that was more than we ever imagined!!
we had a great time together that day!
Thank you for being part of our wedding! You are inside our hearts for ever and we definitely will use you for next events in the future.
If you are looking for photographers don’t think to much and contact with Anita you are going to bless her!!!!
Thank you again for everything!
Neta and Nadav
Anita and her team were truly amazing! From the beginning they were so kind and helpful. Anita was always available for questions and willing to help in any way possible. On the big day her and her team were calm, easy going, fun and professional! The pictures came out amazing and there were so many! I had so many guest comment on how easy going and nice they were!
We could not have asked for anything better! Anita and John were beyond professional and absolutely amazing on our wedding day - they gave us great direction but also let us get the candids we wanted while showing us places to get some awesome posed pictures. We got all of our pictures back in record time and loved every single one of them. We will never forget our amazing day thanks to them. Anyone getting married anywhere should book Anita, she is the best and will be there anytime you need her throughout the entire wedding planning process - plus she makes you feel like a real queen on your wedding day! I will never not recommend them and we can’t say thank you enough for everything they did for us. Anita will be our forever photographer!

Laura!!!! 😭😭😭 This is so sweet. Thank you so much!!
Anita truly captured "us" when photographing our March wedding. One of my biggest hesitations having a winter wedding was not being able to have photos I loved. But wow, Anita helped me figure out where we'd have photos, kept us laughing along the way, and was overly attentive and communicative. Anita was able to capture both formal portraits and casual candids, and helped us afterward with different formats and ordering support. Wish I was getting married again so she could take our photos all over again! :)

Thank you so much Kati!!! Your wedding was so fun!! We wish we could relive it again too!!
My husband and I just got married on 2/9 and Anita did and amazing job on our pictures! She was punctual, professional, and so fun! The pictures are more than I could have ever imagined them to be for our big day. I would recommend her services 1000 times over! If you are looking for a photographer, you have found the right one! Thank you for capturing our special day!
If you're not already holding your phone you better pick it up and call this girl right now. She is a game changer when it comes to wedding photography. I hate having my picture taken and she made us feel so incredibly confident in ourselves and so comfortable. We got all the attention. She even helped me calm my nerves before the ceremony and played Mario Kart with the groomsmen just to help me chill out. I can't thank you enough Anita you were awesome!!
She really was a pro! Anita and Ari were amazing every step of the way!! So glad they were part of the day!!
THE best. Seriously. Anita made my day so memorable and my whole family keeps raving about her. We clicked since day 1. She's a constant support system and always thinking on her feet. Not to mention the images were amazing. I'm so happy we went with Anita!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! The day became stressful and you were a calming ray of light when things got hectic. Thank you for being my cheerleader!!!
Anita's attention to detail really made my wedding memorable. Most of the decor I made myself and Anita captured all of it in a beautiful, timeless way. The candid's she snagged during the cocktail hour were priceless and the way she directed family portraits was timely and efficient. Her vibe is go-with-the-flow and super chill. Anything I asked of her, she was right there and so happy to help. Her constant joy is a breath of fresh air during a chaotic day.
Everything about Anita’s work is stunning. The direction, composition, edits, everything.
Anita did our engagement photos and they turned out so well we immediately hired her to photograph the wedding.
She is very professional, has a wealth of good spots to take photos at, arrived on time and prepared, and most importantly made us feel as though we were the most important people in the world.
Do yourself the favor and get in contact with Anita, it’ll be worth it.
From our engagement photos to our wedding day we couldn’t be more happy with our choice of Anita Louise Photography! Anita made everything feel calm, relaxed, and fun which was so appreciated amid all the wedding day coordination and commotion. We were slightly worried it might rain during our photos (thankfully it held up!) but Anita came ready with backup plans just in case. We are in love with our photos, especially the candid ones that we didn’t even realize were taken. She truly captured every aspect of our wedding perfectly. We are going to cherish the memories forever! Definitely check out her Instagram to see her amazing work, she loves what she does and it shows!
