Outstanding Engagement Photographer

In short: Anyone would be lucky to have Ann photograph their special event. I could not recommend her enough.

In long: I'm writing from the bride's perspective and did not participate in the communication with Ann, but from everything my mother and fiancee said, she was an incredible communicator who was active in planning with them for the proposal. She is also RIDICULOUSLY reasonably priced, so she's an accessible vendor for younger folks like us.

She met (and stalked 😉 ) us at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona before my boyfriend dropped to a knee and proposed! She got action shots, was in the moment with us, and incorporated my family and friends who were there. She then encouraged, guided, and led us through an hour of photos that produced over 75 mind blowing shots. Truly I was blown away by the quality of the photos, the adherence to our vision, and the speed with which she returned the photos.

Once again, HIRE ANN!! You will not regret it and you will have incredible photos of treasured memories for the rest of your life.

Simply the best!

Ann was an amazing wedding photographer to work with from the beginning, even in areas that were outside of the photography side! Our 18 month old was integrated into the plan and photos so well! We started working together early and she had a questionnaire that covered everything we could think of. Her style is what drew us in and she did not cease to amaze in the moments that were captured. We are truly grateful to have our day captured and preserved like it was
