Cannot say enough AMAZING compliments about Anna & Mateo -- we were so THRILLED with the entire team and grateful for their amazing capture of our wedding day. We were told time and again that we have some of the MOST BEAUTIFUL engagement and wedding pics ever seen, and we would recommend them again in a heartbeat! In fact, some of our friends are using them for their upcoming wedding too!
From the moment that we first met with Anna, we knew it would be a great fit. We initially found this team by looking at photos from The Mayflower (our wedding reception venue) and everything was totally PERFECT! Anna was so easy to work with, and very understanding and accommodating. They did a lovely job capturing our wedding church venue too (Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle).
A special shout-out and thank you to Katie (our lead photographer), Carling, Eder, and Alex who made everything so flawless for both our wedding photos and videos. We loved all your easy tips and tricks, and you made us feel totally natural and comfortable. We are so GRATEFUL and look at everything (the photos, video trailer and highlights) all the time.
Thank you, thank you!
xoxo

INSANE. Truly the most incredible vendor. Anna brought in a TEAM who went above and beyond. They moved flowers, checked in, supported us. Plus the photos are incredible. Anna is professional, kind, responsive, positive, and truly wants to know and understand your vision. I’d hire her a thousand times over.
Any questions?

Anna and Mateo are absolutely incredible! Anna shot our engagement pictures and then her entire team shot our wedding (photo and video). They went above and beyond in every aspect. The images captured were better than we could have ever imagined. Anna and her team were organized, well put together and very professional. They were magically everywhere, but also "invisible." My guests commented on how great they were too! They did a fantastic job being flexible when our timeline was thrown off. They knew exactly what we wanted (spoken and unspoken) and made sure that it happened on our day. You want Anna and Mateo on your side for your big day! 100% would hire them again and again.

Anna and Mateo were wonderful. This review is long overview - our wedding was in October 2016! We've had a busy year since and Anna has been incredibly accommodating with delays on our end with choosing album photos etc. She is a professional and kind-hearted person through and through. Most importantly, she has a great knack for capturing all the moments you would not want to miss from your day. She made sure to get all the shots we wanted but she and Mateo went way beyond and captured all the little moments between bride and groom, families, wedding party and even guests. Anna's capture of light, color and her editing is impeccable. Her pictures have a clarity and brightness that not many photographers do. We look at our pictures now a year later and we are instantly transported to that day. Thank you Anna for capturing priceless memories of our wedding day! We highly recommend Anna and Mateo for any setting, any weather, any size wedding. They make an amazing team, they were never in the way of anything but managed to be right where things were happening to capture important moments. They were very efficient but thorough with family portraits etc. They were also just so sweet and kind to us that we were happy they were there and we wanted to be friends with them!

Anna + Mateo were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were so relaxed, flexible, fun and put us at ease - especially as the weather turned rainy on us! They did such an amazing job snapping all the photos we wanted in the little bit of time we had outside in between the rain. And the photos are beautiful with a lovely natural glow. You would never know it rained the whole day by looking at them. I should also mention how flexible and responsive they were to work with. We decided last minute that we wanted to add video onto our package and they happily accommodated that request. That was the #1 best decision we made over the whole wedding. The video is INCREDIBLE. It has the power to evoke the same feelings we had on our wedding day and we get to relive our best day ever every time we watch it. We were absolutely blow away by their talent in capturing all the special moments and people that we want to look back and remember for years to come. Anna + Mateo are such sweet, genuine, and talented photographers and videographers and were a true blessing to have as a part of our team!

Anna did an amazing job with our photos. She made our time in front of her camera comfortable and easy. We loved how kind hearted and accommodating she was throughout the entire wedding. Anna has an amazing eye for capturing quality photos that exude romance, softness, and beauty. I was nervous, being an older bride, that I wouldn’t feel as pretty or look as great in photos as younger brides, but Anna made me feel more beautiful than I could have imagined. We can’t say enough good things about her and her work. Thank you!

For the past 7 years Anna has done all the important photos in my life! From Senior pictures to a newborn photoshoot of my daughter; she’s covered it all. She has a spectacular talent of not only getting the perfect shot, but also has unending patience as well as an ideal non-judgmental vibe that makes everyone feel at ease. I have never once felt awkward while getting my photos taken, she will crack jokes and help pose everyone so no one feels out of place! Even my non-photogenic self still looks good in the pictures she takes!
Every photo she takes is perfect. Light and bright and lacking in any weird orange, trendy filters. You get a genuine portrait of your family or special day that will look amazing for years to come.
Anna + Mateo are the only photographer/videographers I recommend and I 10/10 recommend them to EVERYONE!

Anna was absolutely wonderful to work with! She’s great with the small details, capturing what type of shots we wanted ahead of time, she’s encouraging, professional and so much fun to be around. I am in love with all of the photos we’ve received! I planned my wedding and budget around being able to work with Anna and we’re so so glad we did! Dancing and shouting from rooftops ❤️ Thank you Anna!

I have had the Honor and Privilege of working with Anna and goodness is she not only a gem to work with, with a heart of Gold, but her talent amazes me! What she provides for her Brides and Grooms, is not only beauty that's captured, but the stories behind those photos. She cares so deeply for her clients and vendors and it is so evident! Anna always strives to give her best to all that she works with and I would suggest Anna+Mateo Photography for not only amazing wedding, elopement, engagement and or family photos, but an amazing experience with one of the best out there. You will love her heart and her work!

I couldn’t be more grateful for Anna and Mateo! They photographed our wedding in 2016 which was a very simple affair and Anna was able to capture *the best* photos! We loved working with them and the finished product so much we used them again for some baby/family photos last year and are scheduled with them again for something in a couple weeks! Highly recommend!

I first met Anna + Mateo at my sister's wedding. They were so easy to work with and the photos turned out so well, that we knew we wanted to book them. We could not have asked for better photographers. They drove down to the eastern shore to take our engagement photos. They made us feel at ease and the pictures turned out better than expected. On our wedding day, the dynamic duo were able to capture photos at two different places as we got ready. They have such a talent for capturing the natural beauty and emotions. Throughout the ceremony and reception, you would hardly know they were there. They are professional and organized, I would highly recommend to anyone.

Anna is literally the sweetest and most talented person my husband and I have ever worked with. My husband and I were originally planning on having an intimate ceremony at a historic venue locally. But we knew for a fact that Anna + Mateo would be our wedding photographers, so when Anna told us that she would be on a family vacation on our wedding date, guess what we did? We had our wedding in Mexico so she could capture it!!! I bet not many photographers can say that their clients are willing to plan their wedding around their photographer, but that's exactly what we did! It was perfect, and she did an incredible job on our images. Because of her experience in destination weddings, she was able to help us plan our wedding which she didn't have to at all but she gave us great recommendations for hair and makeup, places to eat, which florist to go to, and on the day of she even helped me put my bouquet together! She is such a calming and kind presence which is so helpful because some parts of a wedding day can be a bit stressful. We got our sneak peek so quickly, especially considering she was on vacation at the time! I don't have a single negative thing to say about our experience. She does everything perfectly.. from capturing moments, to editing, to client communication, to posing. Anna is and will continue to be our family's photographer and I highly recommend her!

I cannot express in words the gratitude that I have towards Anna and her team for their hard work on our wedding day. My husband and I found ourselves in a little pickle when our hired photographer canceled on us 8 weeks before our destination wedding to Mexico. Upon a recommendation we found Anna's name and met with her via Skype. From the moment we talked to her we knew there was no better option. She was able to fit us into her busy schedule and come to Mexico to shoot for us! Not only did she truly save the day for us but her work is some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. It is so light, airy and romantic and the exact vision I had for our photos. Her team is amazing to work with as they are friendly to everyone and extremely professional. I had ZERO worries the day of the wedding and knew she would capture everything that needed to be captured. Again, I cannot thank her and her team enough and I promise you that hiring Anna + Mateo will be the best decision you can make for your wedding! I just wish we would have hired her from the beginning!!

Anna + Mateo were perfect as our wedding photographer and videographer. While we have only received a sample of wedding photos thus far (our wedding was 8/26/17) the photos are fantastic. They also did our engagement photos which were wonderful. Anna is easy to contact, approachable, personable, and she and her team were in the action without being obtrusive. She paid attention to specific requests I made an ensured that those shots were taken. I highly recommend Anna and Mateo!

Anna film and edited our adoption video. We felt very taken care of throughout the whole video process. Anna took the time to find out exactly what we envisioned, did research on her end, and carefully made tweaks on the editing side as we requested them. The final product was a video tailored to our needs, our personality, and our family. As a person, Anna is upbeat, professional, and talented. If we had to do it all over again, we would definitely make the same decision.

We used Anna Gleave and her husband Mateo for our wedding in October. We used them for both photography and video. They were such a lovely couple and a pleasure to work with. She was super easy to talk to leading up to the day making sure that everything was good to go. The highlight reel came out absolutely perfect, I could not be happier! There are so many beautiful candid shots from the day. They really helped make the day come together so perfectly. They were very professional and personable, and I received many compliments from the guests and the bridal party all being very pleased with them. I would highly recommend the video and photography from Anna!!

Anna is such a joy to work with. She makes everyone feel at ease around her and comfortable enough to really enjoy the experience. Not only does she have a really artistic eye for posing, but her ability to also find the most candid moments is amazing. She believes in natural light, and really finds the best shot in every situation. She is great with couples, families, kids and individuals. It isn't easy to find such a talent for such a great deal. You will not be disappointed in any way!

We absolutely love Anna! I've known Anna for a long time and have always loved her photography. When she took our engagement pictures, we were able to incorporate our ideas into the photo shoot and she gave us a lot of really good ideas with poses and lighting and everything! We are absolutely thrilled with how the pictures turned out and cannot wait for our wedding for Anna to do those pictures. She is so fun and so great to work with! The talent in this girl is unbelievable and we love working with her!

Anna was perfect in so many ways for our engagement and wedding day photos. She was responsive and flexible, as well as open minded and caring about our desires when it came to photos. She made both my husband and I feel completely relaxed and natural when taking our photos. She even gave us a preview of our engagements on the day we shot them! On our wedding day, she was amazing. She was there snapping photos of things I wouldn't have thought of but realized were very important to me. She captured the tender and the candid moments that made the day special. Not only is she professional, she is creative and has an eye for which shots to take and when. After being married for almost a year, I still look back on our wedding photos and feel so happy knowing that Anna was our photographer because she helped to make those memories sweet and meaningful. Other photos I have seen don't even compare to the quality she creates. Not only is she skilled, she has packages that are affordable, too! It was such a pleasure working with her and a blessing to share our day with her. Thanks Anna!

Anna Gleave was an absolute dream to work with. She made me feel very comfortable in front of her lense and made me feel beautiful despite my second guessings of myself. Her prices are great for the value, service, time spent, and the experience I had with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for any event in their life.
