HI, I’M ANNA

The Artist Behind the Lens

As a lifelong artist, I am devoted to transforming love stories into timeless visual legacies.

Photography found me through a lineage of storytellers. My father traced family histories back centuries, uncovering lost legacies through delicate photographs—rare glimpses into love, life, and moments frozen in time. I inherited that reverence for storytelling, not just as a documentarian, but as an artist who aims to curate love stories into timeless masterpieces.

For over a decade, I have had the privilege of documenting the most exquisite weddings— each as deeply personal and enduring as the love they celebrate. My approach is not just about photography; it is about crafting visual poetry that honors your story with elegance, artistry, and intention.

Love, in all its beautiful forms, is a universal story. I am honored to celebrate couples of every culture, background, faith, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Capturing the unique essence of your journey is what makes this work so meaningful. While my artistry is shaped by the elegance of fine art, the emotion of cinema, and the beauty of destinations across the world, my greatest inspiration will always be you. Your story, traditions, and once-in-a-lifetime moment— I'm here to honor them all.

When you’re hosting a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, you deserve more than just photographs—you deserve a curated collection of remarkable, artful imagery that celebrates your love with richness, refinement, and heart. Your story is singular, woven with culture, tradition, and personal meaning, and every detail of your day deserves to be honored with the same thoughtfulness and artistry that you’ve poured into planning it.

That’s why I take the time to understand your vision—listening to your dreams, learning about your meaningful customs, and crafting an artistic approach that reflects what matters most to you. My role extends far beyond capturing moments; I am here to translate your emotions, energy, and connection into a visual legacy that will stand the test of time.

My team and I believe that your wedding is not just an event, but an heirloom in the making—a momentous chapter in your love story that deserves to be remembered forever. From our first conversation, you’ll experience a seamless and personalized journey, tailored to your unique desires. I provide a bespoke approach to wedding photography, guiding you through the entire process with expert recommendations, a meticulously planned timeline in collaboration with your coordinator, and a pre-wedding portrait session to ensure you feel completely at ease in front of the camera.

On your wedding day, you’ll feel present, confident, and effortlessly elegant, allowing you to soak in every fleeting glance and whispered vow. After all, your wedding isn’t just a celebration—it’s an experience, a symphony of love, artistry, and emotion. Through my lens, your story will unfold in luminous, cinematic imagery—rich in romance, refined in editorial grace, and undeniably you.

You’ll receive a same-day sneak peek, allowing you to relive the magic instantly. Within a few days, a preview gallery of 50+ images will arrive, offering a glimpse into the beauty that was captured. Then, in just 7-8 weeks, your complete wedding gallery—professionally edited with the highest level of care—will be delivered. And because your love story deserves to be preserved beyond the digital world, I’ll personally curate and order your bespoke, museum-quality album and exquisite fine art prints, so your memories live on as timeless heirlooms in your home.

Though Washington, D.C. is where I call home, my heart is never bound to one place. I travel often to NYC, New England, and throughout the Mid-Atlantic, documenting weddings that are as unique as the couples who host them. Whether capturing an intimate ceremony in a centuries-old chateau or an opulent black-tie soirée in the heart of the city, I am drawn to the extraordinary — those exquisite, fleeting moments that become treasured legacies. It is an honor to preserve them with style, grace, and purpose.

I have been humbled to see my work featured in Washingtonian Weddings, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, and British Vogue, and recognized among the World’s Best Wedding Photographers. But beyond accolades, my greatest joy lies in the trust my couples place in me — to see them, to understand them, and to translate their love into classic, luminous imagery that will be cherished until the end of time.

Love, in all its beautiful forms, is a universal story. I am honored to celebrate couples of every culture, background, faith, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Inspired by my father’s devotion to uncovering lost legacies, the timeless beauty of fine art, and the soul-stirring connection between people and places, I followed my own path into photography—earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography and dedicating my work to capturing love in its most luminous form.

Since establishing my career in 2011, my work has been shaped by a deep reverence for storytelling, an inclusive and global perspective, and an unwavering commitment to documenting moments with elegance and intention. I believe that every love story is a work of art—one that deserves to be preserved with all its depth and beauty. Wedding photography, for me, isn’t just about images; it’s about capturing the fleeting glances, the unguarded smiles, and the way your hands find each other in a crowded room. These are the moments that linger, that tell your story long after the music fades and the flowers are gone.

From the first quiet moments of your day to the last sparks of celebration, I am there to witness and preserve each chapter with a careful eye and an open heart. I want you to see your love the way it feels—timeless, radiant, and utterly your own. My approach is gentle yet intentional, allowing you to live fully in each moment while I craft a collection of memories that are as honest as they are beautiful. Each journey, each wedding, each story fuels my passion for discovery—because no two love stories are the same, and that is what makes this work endlessly inspiring.

Your wedding is more than a date on the calendar; it is a part of your legacy. My promise is to capture it with the artistry and care it deserves, creating images that will feel like home for decades to come.

If this sounds like what you’ve been dreaming of, I would love to hear your story.

behind the Lens

"The best part of life is not just surviving, but thriving with passion and compassion and humor and style and generosity and kindness."
- Maya Angelou

Forming genuine connections and meeting incredible people is one of the greatest joys of this work. It’s an honor to capture life’s defining moments—both big and small — and transform them into cherished heirlooms. I am deeply aware of the weight these moments carry, knowing they are not just memories but the continuation of legacies, woven from generations past and for those yet to come.

Not a day goes by that I don’t feel profound gratitude for the purpose this work has given me. It is my pleasure, my privilege, and my passion to document life’s most meaningful celebrations — the fleeting, beautiful seconds that deserve to last forever.

The FOUNDATION

Extraordinary occasions should be expertly documented with 

LUXURY | LEGACY | LOVE

Every day I am energized by people and potential. Humanity, love, and creativity are the driving forces that propel me forward to document and express beauty in this world, incite joy, and contribute to a better and brighter tomorrow.

Cheers to celebrating life's most cherished moments.

What I'm 

loving

A world of refined beauty and soulful elegance—ultra-chic portraiture, European escapes, intimate NYC weekends, and candlelit soirees. Sailboat rides at dusk. The quiet romance of snow-capped mountains. Artfully designed florals. Vows exchanged beneath chandeliers. Champagne toasts beneath the stars. A delicate balance of grandeur & intimacy, always grounded in real, soul-stirring moments.

What I'm 

inspired by

The poetry of light and shadow. Timeless paintings and the movement of cinema. Music that lingers in the air. The intersection of cultures. Fashion as self-expression. Architecture that tells a story. Dancers lost in motion. Above all, authentic human connection—you.

What I'm 

not about

Basic, passing fads. Cookie cutter experiences. Quantity over quality. Images with a shelf-life. Divisiveness, fear, and indifference. Complacency.

what I

believe

Empathy is strength. Love is resilient. Art is eternal. The classics endure for a reason. Science anchors us, while creativity lifts us. Work hard, play harder. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. Black lives matter. Every love story carries an intrinsic, undeniable beauty—one that transcends time, place, and definition. No matter who you are, how you worship, whom you love, how you identify, or where you come from, your story deserves to be told with mastery, elegance, and soul.
