Annie Hosfeld Photography

en called our respective parents to key them in on the process before the day of. Our wedding day ended up being extremely hot, making it difficult to walk around too far for our parents and a pregnant member of the wedding party. Annie was able to adjust on the fly to ensure everyone was still included. I can not recommend her enough!

ession to the last shot of the night, Annie was a dream to work with. She finds the most beautiful locations in the most casual way. She makes you feel so comfortable and most importantly she makes what can be an awkward experience (I hate taking pictures) really fun. Her candid shots are my favorite and, true to form, the way she captured the beautiful fall light on our wedding day was worth every penny. She listened to every request and we couldn't be happier with the final results. I would recommend her enthusiastically to anyone looking for a great photographer.

r taking pictures at Valley Forge after the ceremony. Annie was also extremely patient working with us in my childhood home, our church and our venue, all new locations for her! She was so patient and calm during every moment of the day. In looking at our pictures, we are eternally grateful for every aspect of our day being captured. The detail pictures are superior and nearly every person in our family and wedding party is smiling in all the photos. We are obsessed! Annie’s ability to identify the spots with the best lighting and capture it is just perfect! Her passion for weddings is so evident in every aspect of the day. We would recommend her to anyone we know getting married!! Thank you again, Annie!!

just having a small ceremony and backyard wedding. Then our wedding coordinator retired right before our ceremony. No matter what popped up... Annie kept us on track! She made suggestions and was honest when she thought what I wanted was unrealistic given the timeframe. Since we will be having a 1 year anniversary reception this upcoming year, Annie worked with us to split our package so we could have coverage of everything! She is very knowledgeable and was a huge help with our planning. My husband is NOT a fan of pictures but she worked with him and we have some great shots that we will cherish forever!! I'm looking forward to working with Annie again in September 2021 to do it all over again with ALL of our friends and family!!

and she really helped my husband and I become more comfortable with being in front of the camera. We were so excited and couldn't wait to work with Annie on our wedding day in 2020. Then Covid hit, and we weren't even sure our wedding would still happen. We kept in constant contact with Annie as the restrictions were changing week by week. By the beginning of August, we had a definitive answer and our wedding was on. From there, it was full steam planning ahead and Annie was absolutely fantastic. She gave us clear instructions on what we needed to do and what she needed from us before the wedding day. In that short amount of time, she created the most detailed timeline of the day, from who needed to be where at what time to what photographs were being taken when and where. On the day of the wedding, Annie and her team let the day unfold naturally but also kept everyone on track. They were calm, cool, and collected throughout the entire day/evening, captured incredibly special moments, and didn't miss a single detail. I cannot recommend Annie enough and you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Annie, Amberlee, and Inna for going above and beyond.

my son in law of 6 years - he told me you rocked! He said you were unobtrusive, gave instructions clearly and gently. We’ve all heard groomsmen complain about photographers being just the opposite and he has been in plenty of weddings! I knew when I met you, we had found the right one! Please let me know how you would like to meet to make the final payment. In the meantime.....THANK YOU ANNIE! We can’t wait to see the final product. PS: please let me know if I can help with reviews or references. Happy to help. With gratitude, Lisa

er very professionalism and tone. Annie is both committed to helping you have the pictures and event that you want (rather than imposing one on you) and is able to provide guidance and help based on her experience so you’ll get the most out of your time and pictures. She even quietly advocated for us with other vendors; for example, at a site visit when we were told we would not be able to enter the bridal suite until a time later than expected, she kindly and naturally checked if it was possible to get in earlier. I think Annie will work well with any couple, regardless of their style or vision; she’ll get it. Planning – Annie held a skype call with us to get a sense of what our style was, what type and who we wanted to focus on in our pictures. She assisted us in making a detailed timeline. Most vendors ask for a timeline, Annie’s was the one that was most useful and became our master. Her experience really shows and she’s able to help figuring out small details to make the most of your time. She attended our walk-through to get to know the place and asked questions of the vendor that I never thought about (and, as mentioned above, diplomatically advocated for us on occasion). Annie was always super organized and responsive. Day-of – Annie really stands out day of and many of our family members and guests commented about how great she was. She gets the pictures that you asked for (and the ones that she knows you’ll want) without being intrusive and is always friendly. She brought a second photography, which I believe is her practice, and he was great as well. Pictures – We are thrilled with the quality of our pictures. We looked at a number of photographers and really liked Annie’s style. She is serious about getting that quality you see in her portfolio at every event. My husband and I are not particularly into posed photos and Annie managed to get great shots of us looking natural, happy, and comfortable. Annie was so easy to work with, very responsive, and talented at her job. We were picky at the outset and were very happy with everyone we worked with, but Annie really stood out even among a group of great people.

solutely "wowed" by the quality of, and moments captured in, her photos. She expertly navigated us through the pre-wedding planning to ensure that her time with us on the big day was maximized to capture the shots we wanted. On the wedding day, her professionalism really shined. She worked efficiently and purposefully while never becoming intrusive, letting moments unfold naturally while making sure to get all the shots we wanted. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Annie to photograph your event!

ocess looking for someone with whom we actually wanted to spend 9+ hours of one of the most special days of our life. (Indeed, some very talented photographers just won't jive with you, or leave you feeling that you're something other than a job). From our 1st hour-long video call with Annie, we both truly felt like we were talking with an old friend; she was warm, considerate, perceptive, insightful, attentive, empathetic and enthusiastic. She genuinely wanted to know who we were and what our aspirations were for our wedding. She immediately understood our vision for the lighting and mood of the space, and how that would be reflected in her photography. She was confident, caring, and invested in us. As our planning progressed we filled out some brief questionnaires, and discussed with her in person the types, quantities, and subject matters of the photos we most cared about for our wedding. She was extremely sensitive and poised about some possibly awkward group dynamics that we anticipated, and set up a clear plan for what we would do in best/worst case scenarios. And she was frankly the most reliable, upbeat, thoughtful and helpful vendor we had. She always went above and beyond for us. When we ran into a few challenges she was indispensable in helping us with some last minute vendor recommendations. We never felt like we were a number or just another client. And on our wedding day it was truly a joy to spend our time with her. She showed up slinging numerous cameras of varying types to capture different shots. She knew how to make us laugh, when to give us space, and how to gently but efficiently handle some of those weird dynamics and situations we anticipated might arise. She worked seamlessly with our other vendors and her incredible second photographer, Laurie. She worked tirelessly and presented us with an incredibly detailed reflection of our day- all that we experienced, and all that was happening around us as well! Annie beautifully captured our wedding, which we had anticipated given her talent. We never could have imagined, though, the magnitude of a gift she herself would be to us- before, during and after our wedding- and we are so grateful.

, but what made up my mind was that you could see an obvious difference in her photos compared to the other photographers we were considering. There was just something about her style and technique that made me confident that her pictures would surpass our expectations!

y day on schedule and knew exactly when the bride/groom needed a break from pictures :). Her beautiful photos provide the perfect memory to one of the best days of our lives. I highly recommended Annie!

ly enjoyed working with her!

sion to work with her. She was one of our favorite vendors and I would recommend her to any of my friends! She did a beautiful job capturing all the excitement and love on our special day. Thank you Annie!

ork is amazing - we love looking back at our wedding photos! When you hire a photographer for your wedding, they will around you the WHOLE day. From stepping into your dress, to first look, first dance, they will be there for it all - capturing all of those important moments. Annie not only captured them, but produced great reactions to comments she would yell out, “who has the best hair”, “funniest friend” etc. We’ve recommended her to friends and can’t thank her enough for capturing one of the best days of our lives! Thank you, Annie!

front of the camera feel good. She was very knowledgeable about the best outdoor spaces to take pictures near our venue. She was very organized and did a great job keeping things running on schedule. We also love our photo album, which Annie expertly put together for us. Hire her, you wont be sorry!

s about making sure you get the most out of your wedding day photographs and it shows in all of her planning/organization that takes place before the big day. We had a bridal party that was hard to deal with at times (i.e., groomsmen not into taking a million pictures), but Annie didn't let it phase her and kept a smile on her face the whole time. She is so cool, calm, and collected and treated my husband and I like we were her old friends. She has a special gift and a way to see "good shots" and unique shots like no one else can. Her candid pictures are one of a kind and beautiful (and I usually don't like candids). She used creativity in getting the best possible shots she could throughout the day. I know I already mentioned this, but aside from being super talented, Annie is genuine, compassionate, and puts everything into her work. She's just the sweetest and has such a warm and calming nature about her (which for a type A/slightly spazzy bride really helped me on the day of my wedding). We've seen some "sneak peaks" from our wedding which are so gorgeous and can't wait to get the rest of our photos back. I know they will be great. We will definitely be using Annie in the future to capture more important moments. Thank you Annie for making our day wonderful and fun and for your hard work and dedication to your clients. You are amazing and I'm so glad we found you!! Ashley and Dan Shapero 'Dashley'
