Quietly observed. Beautifully preserved
WORKING WITH ANAISE
You envision a gallery full of beautiful images that convey the happiness of your wedding day, surrounded by your nearest and dearest. Capturing your day precisely as you imagined it.
With a documentary approach, I offer direction when needed, but give space to allow your natural chemistry to take the lead. Let your bodies naturally mold in to one another as they would if you were snuggling on the couch watching your favorite movie.

Presence over perfection
Documentary wedding photography
I document it all. The sky, the trees, branches flowing in the breeze. The way your dress blows in the wind, the way you laugh when you're with your best friend. To me, the entire experience is worthy of being remembered. Capturing the ambiance through scenic shots and timeless family portraits hold equal significance to me as preserving the details of your reception and candid moments of your celebration.

Why should I choose you?
My 16 years of experience allows me to provide calm guidance under pressure. From capturing quiet moments, to navigating unexpected challenges with ease, experience is invaluable. But it's not just about the wedding day itself; it's about the journey leading up to it. I work hard throughout the year, from engagement sessions to consultations, ensuring every detail is perfect for your special day. You want someone to keep the calm on a busy day, someone you can connect with, someone who helps you feel comfortable but can also make you laugh. I do all of that and more.
How soon should I book a photographer?
It's best practice to book your wedding photography 10 months to a year in advance. If the work resonates with you, and you feel the personality is a good fit, don't hesitate to lock your photographer in ASAP. My calendar fills fast, and I would hate the opportunity to miss out on your day.
When will I receive my photos?
Preview galleries are delivered the week following your event (sneak peeks come after a few days, so don't forget to follow along on instagram). Final galleries are delivered between 6 - 10 weeks.
Do you help with the wedding timeline?
Yes!
Prior to your wedding day, I will create a photography schedule to help guide you through your day, ensuring that no important moment goes unnoticed. During our initial call, we will discuss the events of the day to consider, as well as the amount of time to be allotted for each event. In order to give you the most accurate timeline information, I’ll need to know your ceremony start time, and if you’re interested in a first look.
What do your collections include?
Collections include a personally crafted wedding welcome guide with information on what to expect during our experience, vendor recommendations, timeline planning tips and more. On your wedding day, your day will be captured by two photographers on both digital and film. You'll receive an online gallery with high resolution images (including drone footage) of artfully curated moments, a sneak peek in your first week of marriage, and unlimited guidance throughout your entire engagement season.
How many photos will I receive in my wedding gallery?
The amount of images delivered is dependent on the amount of wedding day coverage. While no specific amount of images is guaranteed, you can expect 75 to 100 images per hour.
What is required to book my date?
A signed contract and a 50% non-refundable retainer. Once you determine that you would like to move forward I will send you my contract via email for you to sign electronically.
What is a First Look?
While it may not be traditional, a first look is an unforgettable experience that I recommend to all clients. It is a beautiful, private moment between you and your partner, which sets the tone for the remainder of your magical, relaxing day. A first look helps to alleviate nerves, and gives you the opportunity to spend more of the day together. After all, the day is about the two of you! Having a first look provides more time for portraits, as well as more portraits. Take portraits prior to the ceremony, celebrate at cocktail hour with friends and family. Getting this step out of the way early in the day frees up the rest of your time to spend with your guests.
