We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos! From the moment I saw Annie’s work on Facebook, we knew she was the perfect choice to capture our special day. She has an incredible 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!

Annie was my photographer for my wedding on September 1st, 2024. She also was so flexible and did a last-minute Family Photo Session the day before the wedding! We are so OBSESSED with our photos!! 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!!

Annie was an absolute dream to work with from our first call to the delivery of our wedding photos. She did such an incredible job making everyone feel so comfortable while capturing every moment. Her energy is infectious making her the perfect addition to your special day. We were absolutely blown away by the pictures she took. You can truly feel the emotions as if it just happened which is exactly what we were looking for. If you are considering Annie, look no further. You will not be disappointed. Not only will receive incredible pictures that will last forever, but you will get to capture them alongside an incredible human.

Where do I even begin? Annie is so incredibly good at her job! She is so sweet and made my husband and I feel like a million bucks on our wedding day. Our pictures blew us away, they are incredible! We have gotten so many compliments on how natural the pictures look which is exactly the vibe we were going for. The pictures are definitely Pinterest and magazine worthy! Can’t recommend Annie and Judy enough! So very happy!

We used Annie as our wedding photographer, and we cannot say enough amazing things about her. Annie was extremely communicative throughout the planning process and made us feel so 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.

Annie is both so incredibly kind and so incredibly talented! From the beginning, she made us feel like a priority. We were planning our wedding from another state, and when we came 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. Working with Annie was an absolute pleasure, and her warmth and enthusiasm made the entire process so enjoyable!!

Annie goes above and beyond her call of duty. She takes the most unique and memorable photos. I was blown away by the photo quality and quantity! Everything was so perfect. She is also a GEM to work with. She clearly knows what she is doing, but is also the sweetest person ever. 11/10 RECOMMEND!!!!

Annie was a DREAM. We were picky when it came to our wedding photos as we knew it would be something we would want to cherish for years to come. She made us feel comfortable in front 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.

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 what 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 potential 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!!

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 engagement 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 captured our wedding day so beautifully! Annie actually made it fun to take photos. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed during one of the most stressful days of our lives! 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 personalities 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!

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 sunset. 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 was so fun to work with! She followed our ideas of what we wanted with little to no direction--she just has a good sense for it! She was quick and effective, family photos flew by so we were able to spend more time celebrating. She was able to tell give everyone direction without the drama I've seen at other weddings I've attended. Her editing was beautiful as well--I couldn't be happier with the final result.

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 priority, 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!
