Hi, I'm Anaise.

I am a calm presence on a busy day,

an extra set of hands to pin a boutonnière.

Front and center to capture your best moments, while simultaneously being a fly on the wall. Providing guidance when needed, and a friend to laugh with, to ensure the whole experience is full of ease and joy.

Offbeat Bride

I deliver effortless, documentary-style storytelling with an elevated editorial touch, capturing the in-between moments and raw emotions that make your wedding day uniquely yours. My calm, intuitive approach allows you to be fully present, knowing I’ll preserve every fleeting glance, joyful tear, and unscripted interaction with authenticity and artistry.

For couples who value intimacy, connection, and refined imagery, I create a wedding gallery that not only looks beautiful but feels like the day itself—timeless, emotive, and uniquely yours.

Get to know me

When I’m not photographing weddings I am most likely on an outdoor adventure with my family. On our way to the woods we’ll stop for donuts, and after our strenuous hike, our meal of choice is pizza. It's all about balance.

I've seen every episode of Golden Girls,

and my son's middle name is Jude because I love the Beatles.

I started sewing, baking bread, and gardening in 2020, so I guess that makes me an elder millennial.

I'm an extroverted introvert, a Gemini, and a really great listener.

15 years of Experience

My journey began in high school, shooting film and developing my images in the dark room. Since then, I've taken countless photography courses and workshops to refine my craft. I have always been drawn to nature and the outdoors, and that influence can be seen in my work.

I am not just a photographer— I am a visual storyteller who blends documentary realism with an elevated, artful touch. I seek to work with couples who value both emotional authenticity and refined aesthetics, offering wedding images that feel both timeless and editorial, yet deeply personal.

These are a few of my favorite things...

The farmers market

I'm the manager at my local farmers market, and I love being part of an effort to help bring healthy and sustainable options to the community.

Camping

When I'm not photographing weddings, I'm most likely on a camping adventure with my family. We love the great outdoors.

Our community garden

I like to say that we're city folk with country hearts. For the past few years we've been learning how to grow our own food, and it's been such a beautiful journey. Hopefully one day we'll be able to have some land of our own where we can grow an abundant garden, but for now this little plot in our city's community garden fills me with joy.

"Look no further than Anaise! Her positive, calm energy brings you down to earth so you can soak in the moments of your important day. When we look at our photos today, we smile with so much emotion. You can feel the tears, the laughter, the music, and the warmth in every photo."

"Our wedding day was perfect and thanks to Anaise we’re able to relive it every day. From the first time we met her, she connected with us as a couple and was able to capture our love. Truly couldn’t ask for a more professional, comforting and accommodating photographer."
