    Best documentary style photos!

    Thais is the best! One of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we will treasure our photos forever. She captured our day perfectly and my favorite photos are the candids of us going through the day. We loved working with her and the day ran smoothly! She did our engagement photos too which were also amazing and she knew such good places to go to have them done!

    Do I recommend hiring Thais?! ABSOLUTELY! She not only is an incredible photographer but an incredible and uplifting human being. Run, don’t walk, to book your wedding with her.

    Loved Thais!

    Loved her attitude and she was so funny. She made me feel less awkward and her pictures came out gorgeous for our engagement session. Also, her website was very transparent about the price and she returned the photos quickly! Highly recommend

    Thank you so much Alexa! I am so grateful I got to meet y'all!!
    Had the best time exploring North Carolina Museum of Art with you two.

    Love,

    No words!

    We just happened to find The Anchor Studio while scouring the internet for a photographer and I am so glad that we did. Thais is a magician with a camera. Her eye for the perfect shot is incredible. I love the raw, almost film like images that she captured for us during this season of engagement. We will forever treasure the photos that so greatly embody our personalities and our love. Thais is so personable and she truly loves what she does. We did not feel like clients, but we felt like friends, and that made all the difference in the world. We could not recommend The Anchor Studio more!

    Amazing photographer

    Thais is quite honestly the best in the business. Her quality is amazing, her passion and heart for photography shine through what she does and she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My fiancé and I were so nervous about posing and she lifted every weight off that we had as soon as we met her! We can’t wait for her to photograph our wedding in four short months. 20/10 recommend her!

    Spectacular photos and experience!

    Thais was AMAZING!!! From the moment I saw her portfolio, I was sold. But getting to know her as a person was also incredible. She is kind, easy-going and easy to work with, and she made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Every person at my wedding was impressed with her work that day, and when we saw all the photos we were blown away. You can tell how much effort and care she puts into every single photograph and every detail, making sure to capture those special moments in a way that you can hold onto forever. We hope to work with Thais again in the future, and we strongly recommend her!

    The Anchor Studio's reply:

    You made me tear up!!! Thank you so much for being so incredible and choosing me to capture your beautiful wedding!!!

    Love,
    Thais

    Most amazing photographer ever!!

    Thais with The Anchor Studio is such an amazing woman and photographer. I’ve never had professional pictures taken prior to my wedding, and I was slightly anxious about the process. Shortly after requesting further information from The Anchor Studio about their available packages, Thais sent me an email explaining everything and offered a consultation phone call. Even though I didn’t meet Thais in person yet, just our phone conversation put me at immediate ease. Thais was so flexible and easy going when determining our date and location for our engagement pictures (which had to be rescheduled because of weather). When the engagement session finally came around, Thais made me and my then fiancé feel so comfortable and confident with the camera, I almost forget we were taking pictures. Thais is also a complete sweetheart. When our wedding rolled around months afterward, it was so nice for Thais and us to already be comfortable with one another. Thais captured the emotions and the beauty in every second of that day perfectly. My wedding pictures are some of the most amazing pictures I’ve ever seen and ones that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Thais is truly gifted and an absolute professional at her craft.

    We ALWAYS choose The Anchor Studio

    We love having Thais capture all of our special moments. She does such beautiful work and is so easy to work with. I have never EVER been disappointed with her. She always exceeds my expectations and manages to capture all the sweet moments even when the kiddos aren’t cooperating. She is responsive, professional, creative, and such a pleasure to work with! She is our go-to for any special event/occasion and holiday photos that we will forever cherish!

    Outstanding!

    Thais was such a delight to work with! We had to postpone our original wedding date because of covid and we were a bit bummed, she offered to shoot our engagement picture that weekend instead. She made us feel so special and hiked the side of the mountain to make it happen! Thais has a gift and makes anyone comfortable in front of the camera! We were floored when we got our engagement picture back and it made us even more excited for our wedding day. She was prompt with communication and was able to handle our last minute questions with ease. Best of all she was able to contain our large and sometimes wild family long enough to get all the group shots. I could not recommend Thais enough. Her services are top notch and I would schedule my next event around her availability- she’s that good!

    The Best Ever

    Thais was incredible to work with!! She made us feel extremely comfortable and we had a blast! We didn’t have to “think” about what to do next, she just guided us along with ease. She kept us laughing with smiles on our faces the whole time. We appreciate her so much!! Highly recommend working with Thais at The Anchor Studio.

    The Anchor Studio is amazing!!

    Thais took our engagement pictures and we are absolutely in love with how they turned out! We have gotten so many compliments on them and they are exactly what we wanted and more! Thais was really wonderful at making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We all had a blast! She even waded in the river to capture the perfect shots. She absolutely blew us away! I cannot recommend her enough

    The Anchor Studio's reply:

    Thank you so much Sarah. I had the best time exploring Eno River Park with y'all and I can't wait to all the big things life will bring for you two!

    Love,
    Thais

    Wonderful. Perfect. Amazing.

    There's so much that we could say about Thais! Austin and I are absolutely in love with every session we've done with her. From our proposal to our engagement and wedding, she's been with us every step of the way and we hope to continue working with her to document our life together. She has such a wonderful energy that definitely translates to her work behind the camera. Her editing style fits us so well, she is beyond talented, and you WILL NOT be disappointed! Not to mention, how much of a model she'll make you feel like. I've honestly never felt more beautiful than in front of her lens, my husband looks pretty smoking too! So in love with Thais and everything that she does!

    Morgan + Austin Duke

    The Anchor Studio's reply:

    I am SO IN LOVE with you and Austin! From the moment I met you two I felt likeI haven't seen love like yours in all my life! I am so grateful I got to meet you and can't wait for the many big moments life will bring to you two! Thank you for the sweet words!

    Love,
    Thais

    Courthouse Wedding

    We got married at the courthouse (due to Covid) and Thais was great at keeping us in the loop until our wedding day. She made it fun, entertaining, and it was a memorable experience. Would highly recommend!!

    The Anchor Studio's reply:

    Katy!!

    It took me quite a while to reply to your review but I just wanted to say THANK YOU! Thank you for being the sweetest and for allowing me to capture such a special moment for you guys!

    Thais captures in pictures the beauty of moments with clarity

    ·
    Shared with Your friends
    Thais is hands down one of the best photographers I've worked with. She has the ability to make some genuine moments come to life in pictures. As a professional she is in it to win it and is clearly passionate about capturing stunning moments. Very pleasant person to work with and is quick to respond with any questions or concerns. 10/10 would work with her again if the opportunity arises.

    Absolutely Lovely

    I fell in love with The Anchor Studio after viewing the website and I knew her style and eye perfectly matched the vision I had for our pictures. Thais responded to my inquiry so promptly and with such warm energy, I was so excited. She was such a kind, funny, easy going person to work with, and made my fiancé and I feel so relaxed and attractive despite us being new to being in front of a camera. I got my gallery back earlier than I anticipated, and our photos were BREATHTAKING. She blew it out of the park. My fiancé and I both got very emotional seeing how lovingly she captured our love and friendship. She has such a unique, elegant style. What an awesome experience. We cannot wait to have her by our side for our wedding day, and everything beyond. THANK YOU THAIS!!

    The Anchor Studio's reply:

    OMG!!!!! You just made my year with this review!!!! You are seriously the sweetest ever and I can’t wait to capture so many more special moments for y’all! ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you thank you thank you!

    Amazing Photographer

    I LOVE Thais. She is all around an amazing person and photographer. She was very hands on from the day I reached out to her. She was always willing to help, give ideas and make things easier for me for our engagement and wedding. She always went above and beyond in every aspect of job. Beside from her personality, her work is stunning. She is so easy to work with and always made me feel comfortable. I wouldn't pick anyone else for my photography needs.

    Couldn’t be happier! Best Photographer!

    I cannot recommend Thais and The Anchor Studio enough!!! From the start, Thais was always easy to communicate with, so kind, and genuinely interested in our vision for our engagement and wedding photos! She made us feel at ease throughout the whole process even when it rained on our wedding day. Thais is easygoing and truly an amazing photographer, adapting to whatever the situation requires. She made our photo sessions for both the our engagement and wedding feel so natural and captured every moment perfectly allowing us to look back for years and relive our favorite day! I can’t wait to use her for all of our future family photography needs. ALL BRIDES - THAIS IS YOUR GIRL!

    Being a Bride throughout COVID-19 has been challenging, but Thais helped us so much since we moved our wedding up! She was quick with getting our photos back and kept to our busy schedule on our wedding day! Thais was such an sweet, and amazing person to work with! I am shy in front of the camera, however she made me feel so comfortable and kept us laughing! I cannot recommend her enough for her tremendous work! We thank you for capturing the biggest day of our lives!!!

    Exceeded Expectations

    We LOVE The Anchor Studio! Thaís is fantastic. The unique way she captured our wedding day was exactly what we needed. She had the perfect balance of posed shots while also allowing room for us to be us. As a result our wedding photos perfectly represent the great time we had at our wedding. The Anchor Studio is also super great to work with. Their wedding and engagement packages are also very reasonable. We feel so lucky to have found The Anchor Studio. Our photographer for life!
