AnnaMae and Keith are the talented and sweet couple behind Annamae Photo. I actually found them by kinda sorta stalking Instagram... (seriously, this is a great place to search and see more pictures of what local vendors offer!) and after obses...sing for days on their website, thereafter contacted them in a hurry to make sure we locked them in for our wedding date!! I was frekaing out they were booked but PTL, they were free. A word about their pictures- they are magical...just magical. I knew I had found someone who could tell a story of emotion when I looked through the photos and was in awe. I loved their journalistic style- it wasn't too overly edited/processed and was very fresh. From our very first meeting with them (they were cute newlyweds and gave us some great advice!!), they were incredibly accommodating, asked a ton of questions (the OCD in me rejoiced!), and were kind and personable. I could tell right away that they pay attention to little details, are great listeners, and care very deeply about their work. Everything you want in a wedding photographer - well that plus, the ability to make you look good in any lighting! Again, refer to their website and Instagram for proof of that as well, their pictures speak for themselves in how they work with natural and evening light.
We booked them for our engagement session and wedding. When we got the pictures back from the engagement sesh it was truly monumental to see ourselves and the never before photographed garden in such a unique and dreamy way! The wedding day was no less great- they arrived on time, went around to all the different locations (our wedding day was all over the grid and they were totally OK with it!) and just shot and shot and shot...we got back so many wonderful images of moments that are now memories to be relived. I recall thinking, Geeeez, I hope they get it all! And they did! There are SO many shots that capture the wedding just as I imagined and planned it in my mind. I know it would be tacky to hang only wedding pictures of myself and my husband all over our home, but her pictures kinda make us want to do that. The photos are intimate and happy, yet tell the story of our love and take us back to the amazing feeling of the wedding day.
I cant say enough to recommend them to anyone who needs a photog- my family loves them, I think my friends our jealous, and mostly, we have a treasure of photos from our engagement and wedding that we will look back on in 10, 20, 30 years and say Dang, that was one of the best decisions we made during that time! We are definitely looking forward to doing photos with them throughout the years.
Thanks so so so much for everything AnnaMae and Keith! You guys deserve more than 5 stars. THanks for making our wedding memories so meaningful and beautiful!
