    Absolutely perfect

    Annie is thoughtful, warm, and everything she does has a loving intention and feel. It was such a gift to have her as part of our special day. She expertly handled the kids (big and grown up ones). We couldn’t have been more pleased!

    Professional, Talented, Fun!

    Annie made this incredibly difficult time so much more manageable as she was so wonderfully supportive as the wedding plans were postponed, changed and changed again!
    We always knew one thing - we had a photographer - and the photographs and memories of this day were going to be magnificent!
    Annie has a unique way of making you feel comfortable with some poised pictures - but mostly she was everywhere really capturing the mood of the celebration!
    Annie made me feel secure and excited and happy at a very crazy time!!
    And the result are so many glorious photographs- so many moments taken with such love !!

    Annie was absolutely INCREDIBLE from start to finish! She was attentive to our every request and made us feel so comfortable. We wanted to take pictures up on the boardwalk on the rides, which was somewhat of a challenge, but Annie did a spectacular job and captured pictures and moments that I will cherish for the rest of my life. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. I would highly recommend her to any and everyone! Especially anyone looking to take adventurous wedding photos!! We can't thank her enough for everything she did to make our day perfect!

    Annie was fantastic! She was great at communicating and helping determine the vision/theme for the wedding pictures. Her pre-wedding survey was super helpful in organizing everything. She was so great to work with! Our wedding was in 11 degree weather and snow flurries and she kept smiles on our faces with jokes and laughter, it was such a great time! Her pictures are beautiful and she really goes the extra mile! We can't say enough good things about her and our wedding photos!

    621 Studios's reply:

    Tiffany, you were such a sweet and lovable bride; I enjoyed every moment. Thanks for the wonderful feedback, specifically the note about the questionnaire. It's great to hear that it served as a valuable tool for you too!
    Best of wishes to the two of you!

    Annie was the photographer at my sisters wedding on Oct 21st. She was such a pleasure to work with and brought a “cool, calm and collected” presence in an otherwise chaotic and crazy day! She was prompt, efficient, creative, and worked extremely well with our videographer and other vendors. She even sent a congratulatory text with a “sneak peak” photo to the newlyweds the morning after the wedding. The Photographer was one of the most important aspects for my sister and Annie absolutely exceeded our expectations. Don’t hesitate to book her!

    Anabel is a phenomenal, talented and creative professional with such charisma. Our experiences with her made us feel comfortable and confident. She prefers to think outside of the box, which we love and is one of the main reasons why we chose her during our journey of saying I do. She sets the bar high! Bravo!!

    My experience with Anabel photographing my wedding was the beginning of an incredible journey, since then she has photographed me and my children several times and she never fails to impress and inspire new ideas. Her creativity is beyond most photographers I have found and for this reason we continue to count on her for family portraits, fun experiences and an enduring friendship. If you want emotion and creativity expressed in your wedding photography then this is the woman that will far exceed any expectation.

    Rustic Elegance at Diamond V Farm

    Annie was the photographer at my daughter's wedding last weekend in Blue Ridge, VA. She was reliable, personable, very creative and professional in every way. I can't wait to see the photos! I feel sure they are going to be amazing! She was an absolute delight to work with. She has such an easy going approach and is beyond accommodating.

    It was nice working with Annie at 621 Studios. She was quite flexible as we negotiated a different package deal than what she typically does as well as timing for when to start/stop photography. It would have been good to get a draft view of the album before it was complete, for follow through regarding some of the things we didn’t want photographed, and more quality photos based on the length of the session.

    Our journey with Annie/621studios started with promise but did not end well. We had fun taking engagement photos at the park & getting to meet her before the big day. She was flexible about locations & gave tips on what to wear. The gallery was available to us very soon thereafter. At the wedding, she blended with other vendors & published a beautiful photo of us within 24 hrs. Our wedding gallery was ready to view in under a month but was far from complete. There's 180 photos posted from our entire wedding. Having spent 8 hours onsite, we were expecting more. The photos also varied in quality. Some were outstanding whereas many others looked to be taken from a phone. Of the limited # of formal shots in the gallery, there are some where people are looking in different directions, a single photo of my dad's speech where he’s also not looking at the camera, & the only 2 photos of the B&G dancing to our first song is our back sides. It’s a shame there's no way to know that half of my family was even present. What makes this worse is that she told them to stop taking pictures from their phones. When asked what happened to specific photos she took of family members with me, she made several attempts to avoid answering. She even replied back with riddles, later apologized for that response, then said she was “protecting me” because a water bottle was being held by a family member which apparently ruined them. She eventually agreed to go back & upload those photos to mend the issue, though it never happened. Lastly, it was only post wedding that we're told the gallery photos would cost us extra to download and share; this was not explicit on her site, our contract, nor was it the case with the engagement gallery. Her excuse was she didn't want to overwhelm brides with too many details. She has since added prices on her website after this review went public. We caution others- too many lost memories, and a lack of professional competence.

    621 Studios's reply:

    Alicia,

    I was honored that you chose me to photograph your wedding, and I enjoyed getting to know both you and your new husband. I believe your venue is hoping to submit some of my images of your wedding for editorial consideration. You were truly a beautiful bride!

    That being said, many of your accusations are concerning to me. I've reviewed our communication records several times, and I'm at a loss to explain how your expectations became so misaligned. It's unfortunate that my attempts to deliver complimentary post-contract services have not improved your satisfaction.

    If any future couples have concerns about this particular review, I encourage you to contact me directly for additional details regarding this wedding.

    Worst experience ever!!

    Where do I even begin with this nightmare. I guess it all started when we met Annie for our photoshoot. For reasons beyond my control, I was late. Annie decided to move forward with the shoot anyways. When we met it was so AWKWARD. She presented us with the idea that “she was just going to be a creepy stalker following us around on our date” I was hesitant but went with it because she’s the “professional.” So leaving the shoot I was bummed, I didn’t know how the photos were going to turn out. I voiced that to Annie and she assured me not to worry, she got some great shots. Cool, fast forward to when I got the pictures. I went to order some prints thru her because I had a credit. Then went to download the pictures and I couldn’t. The contract is very confusing and made me think I would get the digital files for my wedding AND engagement shoot. I was wrong. I do have to say after many emails and phone calls, Annie gave me the digital files. A few days after that, I received the prints (3, that’s all I liked out of ALL the photos) I ordered thru her. It look like a phone took the pictures, one picture was so grainy I will not ever hang it. The other picture had lipstick on my teeth, and the final picture had me completely unfocused while focussing in only on my fiancé. I decided to order the same prints thru Shutterfly to see if it was the lab she used issue. NOPE. The same terrible photos came from Shutterfly too. So after many more emails and phone calls(and her blaming me for the way the photos turned out because I was late) we decided to cancel the contract. In the contract it states no money will be returned. Annie did work with me on that, we decided I would compensate her $500 for her time, and I would get back the remainder($420). So she send the cancellation contract and it mentioned nothing about my $420. So I emailed her, and she informs me she would have to get back to me on a final number because she had to deduct taxes and fees. Wait. What? I didn’t pay taxes or fees when I sent her the money. So we’re fighting again. She wrote and said I only paid her $850 when in actuality I paid her $920. I sent her the receipt to verify. Since then I haven’t heard a peep from her. I emailed to let her know we had moved for when she sends the check, nothing. I can’t stress this enough. DO NOT USE 621 STUDIOS. She’s very unprofessional, has low quality photos, and blames her clients for how HER photo shoot turned out. Spend the money on a real professional. It’s almost been two weeks since I sent her my last email with no response. I gave her 45 days to send me my refund or I will be taking legal action. 2/3/2020 will be 45 days. Fingers crossed she does what we agreed to on the phone so I can END this nightmare!!!
