    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.

    Thank you so much Natasha! It was such a beautiful engagement and I hope to work with you again. Your words mean the absolute world to me and my business!

    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

    Thistle & Bee Photography's reply:

    Amanda & Karl,

    Seeing this truly warms my heart and I am so lucky I get to relive your special day through these photos! Thank you two so much for choosing me! I can't wait to work with you all again. Warmly,
    Ann

    The perfect wedding photographer!

    We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible work Ann did as our wedding photographer. Her talent, professionalism, and kindness truly made our day unforgettable.

    From our first meeting, it was clear that Ann was not only a skilled photographer but also a genuinely caring individual. Her warm demeanor and genuine interest in understanding our vision put us at ease, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free.

    On our wedding day, Ann went above and beyond to capture every precious moment, from the intimate glances to the joyous celebrations. Her attention to detail and creativity resulted in stunning photographs that we will cherish for a lifetime.

    Moreover, her kindness and patience throughout the day did not go unnoticed. Ann was always there to offer reassurance and guidance, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.

    We cannot thank her enough for her exceptional work and the care you showed us throughout the entire journey. Her passion for your craft truly shines through in every image, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as our photographer.

    Thistle & Bee Photography's reply:

    Nechelle & Kenny,

    This is who we needed...

    I can’t thank Ann enough for how amazing she was for our biggest day. We had a large multi-cultural wedding where so much was happening throughout the day and orchestrating it seemed like a nightmare until Ann showed up! She really took charge and her amazing attitude and professionalism put my wife and I at ease. Her photos came out absolutely brilliant and her turn around with sneak peeks was so quick. We can’t wait to book her for our anniversary pictures and I recommend her to anyone! Thank you Ann!

    Ann was amazing in all aspects! She made me feel beautiful and wonderful throughout the whole process! She was personable and kind, she made me feel like I knew her for years! She was professional and gave guidance when i wasn’t sure how to pose or what to do. All my picture dreams are coming true through her! I had a vision and she made it happen, I cannot recommend her enough for any event or photo shoot, I will definitely choose her every time for any of my photography needs 🫶🏻

    Beautiful moments captured!

    We had our wedding a few weeks ago and I just wanted to come here and say how happy we are to have found and booked with Ann! I was so stressed out planning my days and she helped me out with so many things even outside of the photography spectrum. She made me feel so beautiful and was an absolutely blast to work with! She connected super well with my bridal parties and was able to lead everyone so well. I can’t say enough great things about her and will continue to gawk at my beautiful wedding album!

    Sweetest Photographer!

    Ann was incredibly friendly, easy to work with, and professional. She went above and beyond from our first conversation well past her delivering our wedding gallery. You will not regret booking her! Thank you, Ann, for capturing the most beautiful photos of our special day!

    Kate, thank you SO much! It was so amazing getting to witness you two in such a beautiful moment in your lives and getting to capture that in pictures was an absolute honor! Thank you for the support and kind words! -Ann

    Ann was amazing for our wedding!

    Ann was an amazing photographer to work with. In the beginning we had a phone call where she asked me exactly what I wanted throughout my wedding day and what was most important to me. Not only did she capture exactly what I wanted but she went above and beyond what I expected! She was absolutely amazing the day of and then throughout the weeks after that she would send me sneak peaks of the pictures she had taken. I personally love the look of “no filter, filtered look“ and expressed that to her so she took the time to find the exact “no filter, filter“ look that I love. She also looked at the small details on every picture and made it perfect. I’d recommend her to anyone!

    Thistle & Bee Photography's reply:

    Thanks so much Aspen!!! Getting to work with you and Cody was absolutely amazing. Delivering your album has been one of my favorites so far. Congratulations again!

    Excellent session, even better photos

    Ann was super flexible to accommodate a last-minute session cancelation. Promptly made it out to our Sedona elopement and captured some great shots. We appreciate the work she put in capturing this important moment for us and we’ll definitely be recommending her to our friends and family.

    Thistle & Bee Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words Nicholas! It was so great working with you and Beverly. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. I can't wait to work with you two again!

    The most personable and profession photographer we’ve ever worked with

    We had such a wonderful experience with Thistle & Bee photography for our wedding! I can't express enough just how well our love was captured with these stunning photos. They were able to capture moments that we will cherish forever and we have already received so many compliments on the quality of the photos. From the consolation to the photoshoot and receiving the final product, we were treated so well and professionally! Not to mention how comfortable and at ease we were during the process. Without a doubt I would hire Thistle & Bee to take our photos for the future in a heartbeat!

    Thistle & Bee Photography's reply:

    Oh thank you so much Miranda! It was so nice working with you both and being a part of your beautiful day! I can't to work with you all again!
