Moriel L. Sent on 10/02/2022Amazing photographer to work with
Anastasia’s photography is so beautiful and we loved our wedding photos! We hired her for our rehearsal lunch and our wedding photography. She asked great questions in advance of the day to make sure she knew more about us, including that we were not very comfortable in front of a camera. During the photography, she kept that in mind by helping us with direction on our poses and also small details that played out really well in the pictures. She was meticulous in getting our list of family and friend photos done, and then during the events she checked in regularly to ask if there were other photos we wanted to take, so we got in some awesome group shots we didn’t even consider before the day! Thank you so much Anastasia, we loved working with you! -

Our FAVORITE Wedding Vendor!
Anastasia is a PHENOMENAL photographer and easily both my husband's and my favorite wedding vendor. She photographed our engagement photos in November 2019, our scaled-back "COVID" wedding in June 2020, and our wedding reception in October 2021. Every single digital and printed photo was beautiful, far exceeding our expectations. Aside from being extremely talented behind the camera, she is kind, compassionate, professional, and easy to get along with. She genuinely cares about her clients, which made working with her so enjoyable. My husband and I were initially pretty camera shy, but she made us feel so comfortable and confident! Anastasia and her assistant made each day such a fun and natural experience—it was truly like hanging out with friends! She was very accomodating and flexible with postponing the reception, which was much appreciated during such a stressful planning period. I was quite overwhelmed leading up to our big celebration this past October—When Anastasia arrived at the bridal suite, I immediately felt a sense of calm. She has an incredible way of being organized and timely while never making you feel rushed. It was extremely windy at our reception, and I don't know how she did it, but you can't even tell in the photos! Something else that stood out to me was that she frequently checked in to make sure I was enjoying the moment, and it meant the world. Honestly, we only have good things to say about Anastasia as a photographer and as a person. She has a forever customer in us for future photos. If you are on the fence about which wedding photographer to book, I promise you will be so glad you chose Anastasia! -

Jessica T. Sent on 11/30/2021She is so incredible! Please save yourself some time and book her!
Where do I begin? We will be forever grateful for Anastasia and how beautifully she captured our wedding day. Her talent is unmatched: she has such a creative eye for beautiful shots that others would miss, she somehow captures the joy and the colors of the day flawlessly, and she truly cares about giving her clients the best. She is not there to just complete a job, but she genuinely loves what she does! She joins in celebrating with you and does anything she can to capture and enhance the joy and beauty of the day. Anastasia is also so sweet and kind as a person; we loved getting to know and work with her! She is the perfect balance of orchestrating photos and falling into the background to let the moments happen naturally. I cannot recommend her enough. Please save yourself some time and book her! You will be forever glad you did! -

Anastasia is such a fabulous photographer! She captured our wedding day so beautifully. She was so easy to correspond with leading up to our wedding and took the time to understand our complicated blended family dynamic -- which is no easy feat! On the day of our wedding it was fun to be taking photos with her -- neither my husband nor I are particularly comfortable in front of a camera but you wouldn't know that from how she captured our day. She made the whole process so smooth and comfortable. Seriously -- hire her now, you won't regret it. -

We booked Anastasia for our day-of wedding photography needs, and we couldn't be happier with that decision! Anastasia is so sweet to work with, answers emails promptly, and truly cares about her client's needs. On the day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly and on time, it was truly incredible how she managed to take all the photos in the limited amount of time. During the ceremony, she was also very skilled in taking photos without me noticing at all! Afterwards, my husband and I loved that she had emailed us a few sneak peaks photos just days after the wedding and what's more impressive was that we got all our wedding photos just a month later! The photos were of course all beautiful; we have had many family and friends comment just how gorgeous they are. We are very grateful to Anastasia for helping us capture our wedding so beautifully! -

Veronica Sent on 01/02/2019Best Photographer I've Ever Worked With In My Life
I was such a whiny bride! But Anastasia handled me with a professionalism and kindness that I respect so much. It was a little chilly outside and I kept trying to go inside but Anastasia being the amazing photographer she is gently encouraged me to finish photos outside since the lighting conditions were so great. All the photos indoors and outdoors came out AMAZING. You'll get every penny's worth with Anastasia. I joked with my friend that she could probably take a picture of someone picking their nose and make it look beautiful! We are extra grateful to Anastasia because our wedding videographer ended up ruining some of our footage but thankfully we have such amazing photos of every special moment preserved perfectly by Anastasia. We are forever grateful to you Anastasia! -

Anastasia is beyond a doubt the best investment we made for our wedding day. My dad is a photographer, so our family has always valued photos and I knew that I wanted to really invest in getting the best possible photographer for our wedding day. After all, photos last forever! We opted not to get a videographer for our wedding day so we knew these would be the only keepsakes we'd have to mark the event, and boy did Anastasia DELIVER. First of all, she was able to create a custom package for us to get the coverage we needed for our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner coverage (including a mini photoshoot of us as a couple and us with many of our family members), and extra long coverage on our wedding day to get all the fun reception shots! When we finally met in person (postponed for a year because of COVID) to take our engagement photos, Anastasia recommended the dreamiest location for incredible photos with bluebonnets, which is what I really wanted. The location also had a spot where we could take photos by a body of water, which I also really wanted! She totally made it happen! Her photos are truly a work of art, and I love the balance she strikes between fine art and documentary style photography. The couple's portraits she took on our wedding day literally look like they were taken in a fairyland and I felt like a princess. She just sees the world like no one else--let me tell you, the venue was nice-looking in real life but the way it turned out in her photos makes it seem like it was the most gorgeous place ever! This is not due to overediting, it's because Anastasia is able to see the beauty in everyday places and communicate that through her art. Not only was Anastasia great at taking the more "posed" shots, she also got amazing candids of my husband and I interacting and of our reception. I think great reception photos are one of the markers of an exceptional photographer. It's not easy to get remarkable shots when everyone is moving so quickly (dancing) and when it's dark, but Anastasia captured those moments beautifully. I can't IMAGINE how I'll be able to choose which photos to display in our house because there are hundreds that I want to see every single day. Anastasia also has such an incredible demeanor--I was SO nervous about taking our engagement photos but she knew exactly how to make me comfortable in front of the lens (without ever having met me in person before!) and our photos look completely natural. By the time we met again for our rehearsal dinner I felt like a photo-posing pro, thanks to her. She knows how to move a crowd without EVER raising her voice, and got all of our more "difficult" family members to pose in the best possible way. She also has a wonderful attention to detail--she notices the hairtie on the wrist, the lapel that's out of place, and she helped me remember not to thrust my chin too high (which is something I'm always doing subconsciously but I hate the way it looks in photos!). Anastasia radiates a calm, powerful, professional, and fun presence that makes her an absolute dream to work with--I can't recommend her highly enough! I mean, the photos speak for themselves! -

Book her now!
Anastasia was my wedding photographer for my Fall 2018 wedding, at Vista West Ranch. She captured our wedding day more perfectly than I could have ever imagined! I found her on The Knot and booked her after reviewing her portfolio, and let me tell you SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! She is extremely reliable and honest, she was always very prompt about getting back to me through text and email. While many wedding photographers take weeks or months to give their clients sneak peek photos, Anastasia sent us a handful of AMAZING photos just days after our wedding. Not only is her photographic style absolutely stunning, she is the sweetest person and was hands down our favorite wedding vendor that we booked! If you are looking for someone to perfectly capture your special day, Anastasia is your girl! Five out of five stars would HIGHLY recommend and book her again! -
