Testimonials

Kind words from my amazing clients

The greatest honor of this work is the trust my clients place in me to document their most meaningful moments. Creating a welcoming, affirming experience where every couple and family feels seen, comfortable, and celebrated is at the heart of AnnaMarie Photography.


Here are a few kind words from the incredible people I’ve had the joy of working with.

01

 

We have booked 3 sessions with Anna, two family photo shoots and one Mommy and Me. Every time we book with her we are met with great communication, patience for our child’s needs during the session, professionalism, and fun! We love our photos with each and every shoot and are always happy to support a small business! You will not be disappointed!

Anna was very responsive and answered all my questions. From colors and clothing recommendations to beach locations. She was super sweet and patient with my 4year old and her professional opinion saved my pictures from the fog. So thankful she captured these memories for me!

Anna made us feel super comfortable during our session. Very creative, kind, and professional! Would 100% recommend her to anyone and everyone! We traveled from South Carolina to get our photos done and it was the perfect decision ever!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience! From the moment we started, our photographer made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable—like we had known her forever. She was hyping us up the whole time, guiding us with poses that felt natural, flattering, and fun. We even braved the 60-degree weather and went into the ocean for some unforgettable shots—and honestly, we had a blast doing it. Her energy, creativity, and eye for detail made this experience so special. Highly recommend to anyone wanting photos that not only look amazing but feel just as incredible to take!

Anna was such an amazing photographer, she made me and my wife feel comfortable and at ease with every pic and even guided us on ways to take wedding pics with more “pop” lol. She had crystal clear expectations and communicated effectively every step of the way. The pictures came out amazing and could not have asked for a better outcome. Thanks again Anna for making our day extra special!

It was a no brainer having Anna take our photos as well as do our elopement! It’s always such a pleasure to work with Anna. She always returns our photos on time and even more beautiful than we could imagine! When you have that perfect Pinterest picture in mind, she makes it happen. She ensures that you’re comfortable in front of the camera even if you are camera shy. Her speech for our elopement was elegant, heartfelt, and beautiful. Everything was so quick and simple but we didn’t feel rushed in our special moment. I would recommend anyone looking for a photographer, an officiant, or both, to go with Anna!

I just want to give a huge thank you to Anna for our wedding photos and for also being our officiant! Me and my husband booked Anna for our destination wedding & we experienced nothing but amazing guidance, she was very informative about Yosemite (we are from Texas & have never been to Yosemite), she took our wedding photos and we are beyond pleased with the outcome of our photos. We were greeted with positive energy and fantastic hospitality. I highly recommend!!! 1,000,000/10

AnnaMarie Rieffel thank you so much for everything

We had such a great experience with Anna! Since we were coming from out of town, we were a little nervous about coordinating everything, but she made the entire process so easy and stress-free. From the beginning, she was incredibly communicative, flexible, and helpful with planning by offering location suggestions, timing advice, and answering all of our questions.


During the session, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and gave great direction while still allowing things to feel natural. The whole experience was actually so much fun, and it really shows in the photos! When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. Every image was beautiful, and she captured our personalities and relationship perfectly. We will cherish these photos forever and we couldn’t recommend her enough!
