I was so lucky to have Mary photograph our engagement photos and wedding! She is incredibly kind, patient, and personable, and she was so open to any questions we had (regarding what to wear for engagement shoot, what types of things to bring for wedding detail shots, whether she recommended a first look, etc.). She even made a wedding photograph timeline, which helped so much with the planning!

During our engagement shoot, she made it feel so comfortable and natural, teaching us some different poses. It ended up being so fun, and after seeing those photos we were even more excited for the wedding day!

The wedding day was absolutely gorgeous and the photos were better than I could’ve asked for. Her husband, Ben, was a second shooter and captured some great moments as well. Upon Mary’s recommendation, we ended up doing a first look (I did one with both my father and my groom). It was such a special and intimate experience and it allowed us more time pre-ceremony to take portrait shots and bridal party shots, then just do family photos after. I would highly recommend this experience!!

Mary provided a great experience, incredible photos of high quality (and lots of them!!), and an INCLUDED engagement shoot. It is hard to beat Mary's professionalism and overall awesome service. I would highly recommend Mary Anna Photography!
