Kind Words from Couples

Syndey & Josh

“…I get nervous and awkward in front of cameras, and she was able to dismantle that and capture beautiful moments. She is also committed to going above and beyond her job duties. My dress broke, and she was right there sewing it back together. She truly makes sure that you have the absolute best day ever.”

Ashley & Mike

“…My fiancé and I don't often get our photos taken but she was able to make the environment relaxed, light-hearted, and fun to make us both comfortable. She made sure we got everything we wanted during the shoot and collaborated with us throughout the entire process. She was extremely fast with getting the photos back to us. The photos were not only beautiful, but she was able to capture our personalities and our relationship.”

Kaylee & Andrew

“I had such a wonderful experience with USHINE studios. Anna went above and beyond what a photographer should. She helped me bustle my dress and even brought a little sewing kit and helped fix my dress before the reception. She helped the guys to get all of their stuff on and looking good as well. I am not comfortable taking pictures at all and Anna helped to pose us and make sure we looked good. I got so many compliments from my bridal party about how friendly and helpful Anna was…”


ARE YOU READY?

Photography is the art that shows the connection between people. To show that connection best - I need to know you better. Let's get in touch today.

  • I take a personal approach when it comes to wedding photography. I try to be the photographer I would want at my own wedding. I will capture all the authentic moments, big, small, and everything in between. Each wedding differs from the last. I love being challenged to get fantastic pictures, regardless of location or weather. My couples are so much more than clients to me; consider me an extra bridesmaid or new life-long friend. My photography is rooted in my passion for bringing smiles to my client's faces.

    On your wedding day, I'm so much more than a photographer. As a self-proclaimed wedding day problem solver, I'll help pin boutonnieres on the suits, bustle the dresses, and sew them if they rip. Above all, I will be a helping hand and a friend to support you.

  • I would describe my photography style as more documentary, journalistic, and editorial with a touch of posed portraits. Portraits and group photos are a MUST, but I will make sure to catch ALL the candid moments. I prefer to capture the authentic moment rather than posing, BUT when posing, I will give you prompts so you feel comfortable and have fun the entire time!

    My approach is a perfect balance of calmness, patience, and efficiency. I am driven by creativity and an unwavering passion for my craft. What sets my style apart is its wide and inclusive nature, ensuring that every client's unique vision is understood and satisfied.

    I possess the ability to anticipate and capture those fleeting moments that encapsulate all the special emotions of your wedding day. From the loving gazes exchanged between you and your partner to the simple moments of togetherness, I strive to narrate the beautiful story of your love through my photographs. These timeless images will leave a lasting impression on your heart, enhancing your cherished memories long after the day is over.

  • After booking, feel free to talk to me about your wedding ideas and plans as much or as little as you wish. With some clients, I know absolutely everything that’s going on, whereas, with others, I know nothing. It’s cool, just be you, and if you need help with a certain problem, or want an extra, objective opinion on an idea, I am always happy to help. 

    If you have added an engagement session, we will find a date that works and discuss what you may wish to do for it. It’s a great time to learn how to pose and relax in front of the camera. It’s also an opportunity for us to get to know each other even more. I ask you about any camera fears or worries and hope to put you at ease. We have a crazy amount of fun and get some stunning photos while we’re at it!

  • In the days and months leading up to your wedding, you plan and make several decisions. One of the biggest questions I get is, “Do I really need a second photographer at my wedding?”

    At a wedding, a photographer is pulled into several different directions and places. We are extraordinary, but to provide high-quality service and results, two is better than one.

    A second photographer works alongside the primary shooter. They photograph different angles from the other and help assist them with equipment and other logistics come wedding day. A second person helping can provide a different type of style, ultimately giving you more options for images. Many photographers rely on a second shooter and assistant to keep an eye on things that don’t belong in a photo. For example, a person wearing sunglasses in a family photo, uneven bowties, a phone in a pocket, and so forth.

    They save time and speed up the process. Perhaps while the primary photographer is capturing you and the groom’s photos, the second photographer can begin to shoot the bridal party’s images. In the end, you will come out with more photographs with two shooters. They play a significant role in photographing the small details throughout the entire day. It is a great benefit!

    If you have a large venue, they can cover more ground. This goes for the guests mingling and dancing! They are able to capture more moments during the party. One photographer can’t be in two locations at the same time. For example, one photographer can capture the girl’s bridal party getting ready for the big day while the other capture’s the guys. Also, throughout the day, it is essential to focus on the bride and groom. But it is equally important to provide a holistic view of what else is going on during that time.

    I hope this information helps you understand why having two wedding photographers is ideal. While the primary photographer is focused on the key subjects, the second photographer goes full ninja-mode and helps capture shots to complete the story!

  • To book you will need a signed contract and paid retainer fee (25% retainer + 75% balance due before the wedding). The remaining 75% can be split into 1, 2 or 3 payments for your convenience.

  • At this time, no I do not but I have a list of the areas top videographers that I love working with.
