Anna Delores Photography

rst time doing professional shots) and we had a blast with her. The editing and lighting of the final pictures absolutely blew us away - we are so grateful to the whole Anna Delores team!

g Anna Delores!

ethical in her business doings, and someone you will grow to consider a friend quite quickly. On your wedding day you spend a ton of time with your photographer so it's crucial that you enjoy having them around. Emily kept me calm, gave me so much direction, entertained my countless questions, and even kept me laughing through each phase of the day. She exceeded all expectations in every possible way. First, her talent for shooting exquisite photos is unparalleled. She not only takes incredible portraits and candids of the bride, groom, wedding party, families, and guests but she is a QUEEN of detail shots as well. It was really important to us that she captured all of the design and details that went into creating our "summer soiree" and boy did she deliver. The photos are vibrant, artistic, and timeless. Second, she genuinely cares about you and your event. She is so communicative and goes the extra mile to prepare for your day by collecting tons of info on your event for several weeks leading up. It's very apparent that she wants to understand the uniqueness and priorities of your day so that it comes across in the photos. Finally, she even maintains her meticulousness after the wedding. She provides both teaser photos and your final edits extremely quickly. Be sure to order a custom album too because she does an INSANE job curating that as well. Once your big day is over, all you're left with are the memories and photos. So be sure to work with Anna Delores so that you love your photos as much as we do. I can't wait to work with Emily again as soon as possible!!!

Most importantly, we love our photos: they really capture us as individuals, and the special magic of our big day. Would choose Anna Delores as our photography team 10x over!

I leaned on her for vendor recommendations since we aren’t from the Santa Barbara area and she absolutely crushed those! She kept me calm when we decided to change our venue three days before our wedding due to weather. Emily was so patient and kind, took all of my crazy phone calls, and hooked me up with the best photographer for our wedding day - Cara! This team is incredible and you can trust that they will always go the extra mile for their couples. We received our sneak peek within a week of our elopement and our entire album within a month. It’s so hard to pick a favorite because they are beyond gorgeous. Our home is going to look like a shrine to ourselves with all of the photos we are about to print and frame. I cannot recommend the ADP team enough. We are beyond thankful they were a part of our special day.

returning my emails and calls and never providing me with a wedding bouquet. Beckie was our photographer at the SB Courthouse and was such a joy. Everyone there loved her energy. The pictures turned out so beautiful. Thank you Emily and team for making my magical day absolutely perfect!

ly recommend booking Anna Delores Photography - you will not regret it!

n our wedding day was captured by Emily and made beautifully evident in our photographs. The best decision we made (besides marrying each other) was booking Emily. I cannot say enough; people who have seen our photos cannot say enough, and I will forever feel grateful for this company. You may be hiring a photographer, but by the end of the day, you will have a very, very talented friend.

ory. She was so easy to work with and her team made all of us feel so comfortable. For the friends that sometimes awkward in pictures Emily really gave direction. She really heard us and got it! No surprise that our pictures turned out amazing and even featured on Martha Stewart, thanks to Emily and her talent and connections. We are beyond happy!! Her positive energy and friendliness made our day even more special. Emily to me isn't just our photographer anymore but a friend. Thank you so much for capturing the memories so beautifully.

is over. She and Beckie brought such an incredible energy to our day, and we had so much fun with them! All of our family and friends also commented on how upbeat they were and how easy they made the entire picture process. And then the pictures themselves are just to die for!! Obviously I knew Emily was talented, but the pictures just took my breath away. The emotion she captured in them is so powerful that one look brings me right back to those moments. You can feel the joy in her photos and I think a lot of that is because her personality creates such an incredible space for her couples to be at ease and in love. She was one of the first vendors I booked and was so helpful through the planning process. She had recommendations for other vendors (found my floral designer through her) and was also an amazing sounding board for other vendors I was looking at. The ADP team is just amazing, and I could go on about them forever!

king, surprise, awkward. We knew we needed to find someone new for our wedding and THANK GOODNESS we found Emily. She is so fun and spunky and charismatic that you become instant friends. She makes you feel so comfortable and confident that your photos reflect it. The photos she took were SO beautiful. Both the photos of us, our guest, and all of the wedding details are absolutely unbelievable. Even my mom was thrilled with her and the photos, and she is not easy to please. Also she came all the way to NYC for a new set of engagement photos for us. I mean, come on. She is the best.

t things!

m made us feel so comfortable and it was just such a fun experience. Everything turned out seamless throughout our wedding day, and it turns out taking a million pictures can actually be really fun. I would recommend Emily again and again and wouldn’t think twice!!

. I would recommend her to anyone.

ic personality and knowledge shined through that convo, and I knew she was the one I wanted to work with - I didn't talk to any other wedding photographer vendors. Part of the package is an engagement photo session, which is a huge perk. Not only did we get amazing engagement photos, but using that hour session, Emily guided Nathan and I on some tips for taking photos, that would come in handy on our wedding day and make taking photos come more naturally. During the planning process I had a couple great check-in convos with Emily that brought down the normal stress of being a bride. On our wedding day, Emily and her second shooter, Felicia, captured the most amazing pictures that display the perfect story of our wedding day. We completely trusted Emily and Felicia on their ideas. Nathan and I spent three hours looking through our photos and there were several times where I had tears in my eyes saying "oh my gosh!!! They caught that moment too?!?!" Emily, you should be very proud of Anna Delores Photography. You are the sweetest, super talented and brought the BEST giggles and energy to our Wedding Day. Thank you again for capturing the best day ever!! Miss you!!!!! Lots of Love, Nicole Garthwait

nna was. lol. I came to find out that the backstory of how Emily created her business’ name was touching and meaningful. From there on, I knew no matter what I had to get to know this creative and beautiful woman. My now wife and I met up with Emily in DTLA. What was supposed to be an hour or two meeting and discussion about our wedding and her photography packages, the whole hoopla, ended up lasting for over 5 hours. We shared laughs, stories, and all the emotions. I think we all felt it then that not only was she hired, and this would begin our work relationship, but also a long lasting friendship. And that’s just what it was...Aside from her amazing and beautiful photography skills, which anyone can clearly see is magical, Emily’s soul is just as magical. She cares deeply about you and her work which is one and the same. She pays attention to every detail, and then some. She had us laughing and created genuine moments. Not only did we love her, but all of our guests did as well. I too am a wedding photographer, and have been for almost 4 years. My wife also photographs weddings with me. We both had a very precise, and specific eye on what our wedding photos would be, and what type of personality our photographer would need to have, which is VERY important. I can proudly and confidently say that I can never be more blessed to have had Emily as our photographer and now as our friend. We love you, Emily. -Kelly I second everything Kelly said above. Choosing a wedding photographer was definitely a process for us, as we both were fairly...ehmm..particular. Quite often, our friends would ask us “Wait, so who is going to shoot YOUR wedding?!” Well, after the first time we met Emily, we knew instantly it would be her, and were overjoyed that she was available to shoot our wedding. It was a trek: 3 hours away into the Sequoia mountains, and Emily was so excited for the adventure and challenge. On our wedding day, she was calm and attentive. She worked her butt off, carrying her gear up hills and still giggling throughout the day. She went above and beyond, capturing some of the most precious moments of our lives in a beautiful creative way. She’s more than our photographer, she’s our family and we can’t wait to share more memories with her! -Kelsey

ur aaahhmazing engagement photos at Butterfly Beach. The light and emotion that they’re able to capture in their photos is breathtaking. The wedding day went as fast as people said it would but Emily, Rhianna and Sarah captured the details of the whole day perfectly. They really go above and beyond to get the best shots and they had us laughing and smiling all day. Emily and her team are such a joy to work with. They’re extremely professional, creative, warm and so fun to be around. Thank you Emily and team, you made our wedding day even more unforgettable!

edding was 3 months ago and still one of the first things our guests comment on when we talk to them is how amazing our photographers were. 2 of my bridesmaids have since booked them for their own weddings, with more of our friends to follow. As soon as we decided on our date and our location (Maui) I started looking for photographers local to our venue. I must have contacted every photographer on the island before realizing I wasn't finding what I was looking for and deciding I needed to start looking close to home. I met Emily and Rhianna at their studio in Ventura and we spent almost 3 hours together talking about the wedding, Hawaii, life, and more! It was an instant fit - I called my then-fiancé on the way home and told him we'd found our photographers. Fast forward a year and a half to our engagement session (which we finally did 5 months before our wedding after Emily patiently put up with me having to reschedule several times for various reasons). We met them at the Clairmont Lavender Farm in Los Olivos and had such a fun afternoon taking our engagement photos. Emily & Rhianna are such a power team and made being in front of the camera so comfortable and easy. I can't imagine having felt nearly as comfortable with any other photographers - they just have a way of making everything so easy and natural (and fun!). Our wedding finally arrived in July 2017 and I would have 10 more destination weddings if I could, just so these two wonderfully talented people could capture it all. You want to book Anna Delores Photography for three reasons... 1) They will capture the life and spirit of your event(s). I had spent countless hours putting together the small details of our wedding, both the experiences and decor. Emily and Rhianna captured the essence of all the heart and soul I'd poured into the wedding! 2) They will capture every real emotion of your wedding day. Every photo we got is a genuine reflection of what people were feeling throughout the day. The tears, the laughter, and everything in between are palpable in all our pictures and they take you right back to those moments. 3) They are the life of the party. I don't think many people can say that their wedding photographers got out there on the dance floor with them and got to partake in the fun with everyone else. Most weddings I've attended I don't even remember the photographers being there, and let me tell you, it is SO MUCH FUN when they get out there and have as much fun as you are. It also makes for some perfectly crazy dance floor photos. You spend more time with your photographers than anybody else on your wedding day, so it's incredibly important to connect with them. We had the pleasure of having Emily and Rhianna capture our engagement session, rehearsal dinner, wedding, and day after session. We now have 2000+ pictures to cherish for the rest of our lives, and 2 amazing new friends. Do yourself a favor and book ADP!

nd and I feel we are living the wedding again when we look at our photos; what an incredible gift this is! I would also add that Rhianna was a delight to work with. She is warm, playful, intelligent, and creative, but also capable of fading into the background; we were never anxious or "in the spotlight" when we didn't want to be. This allowed us to relax completely and contributed very significantly to our wedding's joyful, playful, and intimate atmosphere. In short, we couldn't imagine a better experience!

arious - exactly what you need when shooting an engagement session or at your wedding! I would shout from the rooftops if I could what an amazing experience my husband and I had with Emily - we just can't say enough great things about her. Photography is by far the most important part of the wedding, and it's so important to get that right to preserve memories - and boy are we glad we chose Emily and her team!

ts. We carefully researched and flipped through countless photographers websites. I wound up stumbling upon Anna Delores' website (while at work 😉) and it only took ONE photo to get me to swoon + get hooked. I booked a consultation immediately after and was beyond excited for our meeting. As excited as I was, It was also important for us that we felt a connection with our photographers and we got JUST that instantly with Rhianna and Emily. These 2 ladies are both power women and are fiercely passionate with their never ending work. Also, Rhianna was our main photographer and she is my girl for life! We were complete strangers when we met and wound up becoming friends! Who else becomes friends with their wedding photographer?! We had an outdoor wedding, and of course there was last minute unexpected rain, the day before the wedding. Rhianna was literally researching alternative venues + volunteering her man's help to lug all of our stuff *sigh* I could go on about this Wonder Woman for days! Last but not least, Emily! Emily is my inner soul + her personality is my jam. We literally got the dream duo cause Emily tag teamed with Rhianna on our wedding day + she crafted the most BEAUTIFUL arrangements of my bouquet, trinkets + place cards. I literally still swoon and get compliments to this day. Ok, after a 1000+ worded essay, I shall conclude to say if you want wedding photographers who will go above + beyond for you in every aspect of a wedding and who genuinely care about you as a couple, opt with Anna Delores. You can't be disappointed.

eauty of our families converging for our special day and Emily captured everyone, including us and our love, perfectly. She photographed the most beautiful portraits and a ton of candids that we will cherish forever. She also respected all of our wishes, like opting out of a first look and making it to the end of our cocktail hour - which any photographer will tell you is impossible. All the while she made us laugh and became a friend we'll cherish for a long time. From the moment we met, she made it a priority to learn who we are as a couple and what is important to us on our wedding day. Then, she captured all of our wishes and things we didn't even know we wanted! Emily is a true pro who has a genuine talent for capturing beauty and emotion. Stop here and contact her - it will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding. Happy planning!

tly, after meeting Emily in person and seeing the incredible engagement photos she took for us, there was no question we would use Anna Delores for our wedding. We decided early on that photography was a top priority and I am so happy we did! It turned out to be a fabulous decision and the memories Emily captured are priceless. Emily and her team are professional, courteous, playful and fun, all while ensuring they got every single special photo we had requested (although this creative genius did not need any pointers from me). She kept everyone on target with our timing and everyone at our wedding thought she was friendly, outgoing, and professional. Her photos speak for themselves and we were so happy Flutter Magazine shared our wedding (and Emily’s talent) in Issue 12. Thank you Emily from the bottom of our hearts!
