R and W // San Francisco Botanical Garden and Stable Cafe Wedding

From R: “We LOVED working with Annie. She is an unbelievable photographer and such a wonderful person to work with in general. I can't imagine having any other photographer for our wedding. Our photos are spectacular - everyone is blown away by them - they truly captured how the day felt to us and feel so true to us and to the event.
I did a lot of research on photographers. My partner and I were not crazy about much of what we saw coming into the process --- we have low tolerance for posing or what we personally find to be excessive styling (though in the end we wanted to take a limited number of portraits and treasure them now - they came out beautifully and are really special which is in part because the process of taking them was fun and relaxing with Annie, so the short session felt like a sweet part of the day and is a nice memory now - the last moments before we were married); but overall we didn't want to spend the day thinking about how we / it was being captured. When we saw her photos we knew her style was what we were looking for both in terms of the documentary - style candids and her editing preferences in terms of color balance. We loved her style coming into the process but I can't even tell you how incredible and different it is to see her photos when they are *you*; reflecting something so personal to you. I am tearing up just thinking about how much I love our wedding photos. Also - Annie is incredibly professional; instantly responsive & communicative about various questions that arose leading up to the wedding; and she turned the photos around after the event FAST. She's remarkably stealthy - multiple friends and family mentioned that she was 'everywhere but nowhere' - she was definitely everywhere because it's ALL there, but she has an uncanny ability to camouflage into the crowd and it *really* comes through in the authenticity of expression that she captures - this is definitely part of her magic. And she's such a nice person, we just adored working with her on a personal level too. We feel so lucky that we were able to hire someone with such a distinct perspective as Annie's to capture our wedding and can't recommend working with her more highly!!
