WORDS OF AFFIRMATION

I consider myself extremely lucky because I get to work with incredible people and capture their most beloved memories. Here are some of the things they have said about their experience.

 

Count your lucky stars if the internet brought you to Anya's page, and just do yourself a favor and book her immediately!

After spending a year planning our destination wedding in Florence, Italy, we were initially devastated when our first wedding photographer backed out a few months shy of the wedding -- but, what we thought was a misfortune turned out to be the greatest blessing, because we were lucky enough to find Anya! After (luckily) stumbling across her instagram, we quickly set up appointments with her and knew instantly we were in great hands! Anya worked quickly with us to schedule her and her teams' travel for our wedding festivities and exuded professionalism, passion, and pure joy every step of the way!

In addition to perfectly capturing every special moment, our bridal and family portraits, and our personal favorite-- the candid moments -- Anya also took the time to photograph our multiple venues, stunning shots of Florence, and every little detail that made our wedding uniquely ours! Not only did she exceed our expectations and produce stunning photographs of our wedding week, but she blended right in with our friends and family and made everyone feel comfortable and natural.

Can't wait to come up with an excuse to work with her again!

Anya took our Engagement photos and as well as our wedding photos. I've taken a few engagement sessions with other photos (due to our wedding postponed) but Anya is literally the best! She is sooo talented and makes you feel so comfortable. One thing I noticed is different with her is she doesn't need to take a ton of photos and she takes the time to make sure you look perfect. When she sends you all the gallery of all the photos, you just get the best of the best so you don't need to sit around and go through a gazillion of them. (Still a ton of beautiful photos but just good ones only!) When we received our engagement photos, I cried. I couldn't believe how beautiful they were. They were my favorite engagement photos (we had 3 engagement sessions with 3 different photographer!)

As for the day of, when I saw Anya as I was getting ready, I felt sooo relieved, excited and happy cause I know she had my back and will get me that perfect shot! Throughout the day, everything was just perfect. It was so fun working with her and felt so comfortable like I was getting photos taken by a friend. We haven't gotten all our photos back yet but she sent a couple teasers and my jaw dropped. I felt like I was looking through a wedding magazine or Martha Stewart's Wedding. They are sooo beautiful!

Thank you so much Anya. Words cannot describe how much we love you and so thankful to have you capture our wedding day. You are so talented, professional yet personable. We will back to Cali and you'll have to take all our anniversary photos! We looooove you! You're the best!

We cannot recommend Anya enough! She was seriously SO so wonderful all weekend long — efficient, kind, calming, and obviously so talented at what she does. She managed to capture our weekend so beautifully without making it seem like a four-day-long photoshoot (my husband was definitely pleased about that!). We were so impressed that she was able to keep going for a marathon four days in a row while still maintaining such positive energy.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and so appreciate Anya being there through the entire weekend. Beyond being wonderful to work with, her photos are INCREDIBLE!!! We can't stop looking at the album :)

We are so fortunate that Anya was recommended to us. We first hired her as our engagement and wedding photographer. However, a few months before our wedding day, we had to postpone it due to the pandemic. We ended up eloping instead this year, which we're so glad that we decided to do so because we had the pleasure of having Anya photograph an additional event for us!

She has now photographed our engagement session and elopement event. With each image that we have received, we have been blown away every time by how stunning they were. We loved how she focused on capturing candid styled pictures. It displayed our genuine emotions with natural expressions. Usually, being in front of a camera makes me feel and look so uncomfortable, but it is an entirely different story with Anya.

She has given us timeless photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. She is unbelievably talented, creative, professional, and personable. She has made the entire experience so effortless and enjoyable. My husband and I are looking forward to working with her again for our 2021 wedding! And we definitely plan to have Anya as our photographer for all our future events (i.e., baby shower, anniversaries, family pictures, etc.)

Anya was incredible throughout the entire process! Our original wedding date was only two weeks after lockdown began, and Anya graciously worked with us to reschedule not once, but twice.

She was super organized leading up to the day, working closely with my planner and videographer to build out a shoot schedule. On the day of, she worked well with the large groups to get everything shot on time and smoothly.

On the night of my wedding, she sent through some initial teasers which were so fun to see and share with my friends/family. We just received the full delivery of photos from the wedding (ahead of schedule), and they are so beautiful! We feel super lucky to have had Anya capture our day, and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Anya!!
