ed calm, professional, and brought such a positive energy that truly helped lift our spirits. She came fully prepared and didn’t let a little rain slow her down. She knew how important wedding beach photos were to me, and she absolutely delivered. I’m so grateful to have had her there to capture the memories that made the day special despite everything. Highly recommend!
Annie was absolutely amazing to work with and captured our wedding so beautifully! Before the wedding, she took the time to meet at the venue location with me to go over certain th...
ings. On the day of the wedding, her and her team made it so easy for us to truly be ourselves and not have to think about the different poses and things that come from wedding photos. She made us laugh and truly enjoy taking our photos together which is not always easy when you are stressing about if you look good, etc. Annie played a huge role in keeping the nerves calm on our big day, it was so refreshing to have her in our corner. The turn around time was much quicker than expected as well which was a nice surprise! We will definitely be using her for photo shoots later to come. Thank you for everything, Annie!

talent for not only taking stunning photos but also truly capturing the essence of our relationship.
What I loved most about her work was how effortlessly she documented the real, candid moments—nothing felt staged, yet every photo was absolutely perfect. The way she caught our laughter, the little glances, and the raw emotions of the day is something we will cherish forever. Looking through our photos, we don’t just see beautiful images—we see us.
Beyond her talent, she was a joy to work with—professional, kind, and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. If you’re looking for a photographer who will give you more than just pictures, but genuine memories frozen in time. We can’t recommend her enough!

My husband and I have large families who are a little hard to reign in, however Annie and Judy were so efficient and so good at keeping everyone in line, while also having fun with us all. The entire experience felt so personal, it did not feel like they were just doing a job, they felt like a part of our day!! Our photos captured our day so perfectly, every time I look at them it just takes me back in time and I get to relive the best day ever all over again. Her editing aesthetic is also so warm, inviting, and natural. I would recommend her time and time again!!

comfortable on the day of the wedding! Despite the 97-degree heat and high humidity, Annie was professional, flexible, and accommodating to ensure our family members and bridal party weren't out in the heat for too long for photos.
When we received our photo gallery, we couldn't have been more pleased. The photos captured the essence of the day perfectly and were beautifully edited. We will treasure them for years to come.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely kind and a joy to work with, we highly recommend Annie! She exceeded our expectations in every way.

e to HHI for a very short weekend, she made time in her busy schedule to meet with us, get to know us, and talk through the day. Her professionalism, creativity, and the ease with which she made us feel in front of the camera were truly exceptional! Everyone she interacted with at the wedding loved her!! Her ability to handle our requests, including the coordination of the large group photos, did not go unnoticed, and we are truly thankful for her patience and expertise. Her photos were STUNNING!! She has such a unique style that perfectly captured the beauty and emotion of our wedding day. Every photo radiated with love and joy, creating timeless memories we'll cherish forever.

nt of the camera, and even captured all those good candid moments we hoped for. She killed it on the wedding day with all photo sets, even managing our large wedding party. Family and friends raved about how our photos turned out and I have to say… they’re right to! We LOVE our engagement and wedding photos and we owe it all to Annie. 💕

Annie was great! She was super communicative and professional leading up to and on our big day! Her assistant was incredibly sweet too! The only thing we are slightly disappointed ...
about is that we didn't get any close-ups of our first kiss and the ones that we do have are slightly off-center and our minister is in the back. Other than that, we are extremely happy with everything from Annie! She was even able to capture some "old Hollywood" type photos, which is what I really wanted! We would definitely recommend her for your wedding.
Annie was wonderful to work with! She made us feel so comfortable. We are so happy we chose Annie, we loved all of our photos. I would 100 percent recommend her.
Annie was such a great asset to our day! Very professional, talented and all around wonderful person to have along side you for the day! Loved how each photo turned out!

lot of time with your photographer on the day of the wedding, it was so great to have someone we loved working with!
I found Annie on Instagram via a deep search for Hilton Head wedding photographers. Annie was SO kind, professional, and clearly talented with our group of people who don't know wh...
at to do in front of the camera! She was the perfect photographer for our small intimate beach wedding. I hadn't been formally photographed since my senior pictures so I don't model naturally, but Annie told my husband and I how to pose/what to do for each photo and it was so fun and such a breeze. The photos blew us and family away, and we received endless compliments on them. She also has such a knack for capturing those precious candid moments of family and guests. She was a great communicator before, during, and after the process. We will cherish these photos forever and plan to book Annie for a first family session after our son arrives this Spring.
Annie is the BEST. She has the type of warm personality where you feel like you’ve known her for years. This made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera which turned the pot...
ential stress of taking photos into such a fun experience for us. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the shots that we wanted, even going so far as to driving me to the winery herself! We are blown away with how they turned out and couldn’t recommend her more!!
Annie was extremely professional and really made me feel so comfortable. Her photos are absolutely stunning!
I am convinced that I found the best of the best photographer in all of the Atascadero/SLO area. Annie is such a talented, professional, and incredibly sweet photographer. From the...
first initial phone call I knew she would do a fabulous job. I am a very A type person and she was able to handle all my constant emails and questions with such grace. She took in my vision and plan for the day and completely ran with it so I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of. From the moment I got in my dress, she was on top of it. She was able to style me and all my friends and family easily while keeping the atmosphere a fun and positive experience. I felt so comfortable being in front of the camera with her behind it. She took every shot I specifically wanted while also capturing all the standard family and event photos. When it came time for sunset photos, I had forgotten to grab my bouquet and she SPRINTED down the hill to go grab it for me. She really will go all out for you and your photos. Jill was our second shooter and she was fabulous as well. I'd recommend booking Annie for 8 hours with Jill and the engagement photo session. All of those pieces lined up to get the perfect day captured. I cannot thank her enough for how amazing she did and how breathtaking the photos are. You cannot go wrong with booking her!
Annie was literally the best! We chose her to shoot our wedding and engagement photos based on her experience and overall professional attitude. We were pretty nervous about the en...
gagement shoot because we’ve never gotten professional pictures done but she made us feel right at home. We were laughing and running and jumping and having the best time. We even forgot we were taking pictures, we were having so much fun. She knew all the best shots and backdrops to take us to making the whole thing very low stress for us. We got our sneak peak pictures super fast and the final ones less than a week later. We are so happy with them and they are now our favorite possessions (we are scrapbookers). We can not wait for our big day and feel super confident in her abilities. If you are looking for a photographer my fiance and I highly recommend Annie Hock!
Annie is the absolute best. I am not a fan of pictures being taken of me but Annie showed me how to pose and everything. Communication was great and photos wer3 amazing. HIRE ANNIE...

ives! Annie is so good at listening to what her clients want and she was happy to try all of the crazy Pinterest poses I suggested. Hire this girl, she will make your wedding day so much easier! Also, listen to her when she wants to pull you aside to do sunset photos because they are breathtaking.
I cannot recommend Annie enough! Not only is she personable, professional and easy to work with, but she is excellent at her trade. Both I and my spouse felt she captured our perso...
nalities and partnership accurately and artfully in our engagement and wedding photos. She helped us feel comfortable posing (both of us are unaccustomed to having our pictures taken professionally) and had great suggestions while also welcoming ours. (You can check out some of our engagement photos by Annie here at her blog: https://www.anniehock.com/blog/audrey-lucas-engagement).
Additionally, since we had a small COVID wedding (only 20 guests), having quality wedding photos ended up being really important, so we could share them with family and friends whom we were unable to share the day with. I am grateful we got to send them Annie's photos. My family who could not attend told me they looked over the images again and again.
Finally, in addition to providing quality work, Annie was also flexible with our schedule. Engaged in Oct 2020, Lucas and I decided in Nov 2020 to move our wedding date from March/April 2021 to Jan 2021. I quickly contacted Annie about doing engagement photos, and she was very accommodating, shooting our engagement photos in early Dec 2020 and then our wedding photos Jan 2, 2021. She also has a quick turn-around time for sending back the edited photos. I was impressed with how soon we had the pleasure of going through our photos after our engagement session and after our wedding!
Would highly recommend Annie! Annie was a delight to work with on our big day - so personable and professional.
Annie captured our day with more than just photos. Her gallery makes us relive our wedding day every time we look at them. The emotion of the day. The joy we felt. The gorgeous sun...
set. The warmth of summer.
Annie was also a calming presence when nerves are running high. And she always had a smile on her face. All of our guests commented on how great of a job she did on the day, but also on the end product quality.
I would recommend her to anyone looking for professional photography to capture important moments.

Annie’s Review
Annie is an artist! Skillful, visionary, technical, and intimate. When we decided to have a destination wedding in Mexico, I knew having Annie there was a top prio...
rity, and I’m so grateful she said, “yes!” I’ve worked with Annie on yoga photos and art projects, so I trusted her to shoot our wedding, but she exceeded my expectations with how she playfully and confidently worked the crowd. Everyone loved her energy—and especially her beautiful photography! It feels so special to see our love captured in intimate vignettes and fun group moments (dancing, swimming in a Cenote, pop-up photo booth wall, beach reception toasts, etc). I especially loved our “Day After” sexy photos where she captured mine and Ryan’s connection in a secluded palm groove and in the waves! Delightful and sensual! She’s game to make dreams come true! I cannot recommend her enough!
