Anne Staveley portrait photography

Where to begin! Anne is totally incredible. We were rushed to find a photographer for our Vow ceremony and reception who would fit our style-and two weeks before the date we found her through a friend and she agreed to take us on! She is professional, kind,  and has a wonderful style behind the camera. We felt totally relaxed and at ease. She suggested shots that matched our comfort and personality, really well. Our mini couple shoot before the event was so fun, and one of our favorite memories of the evening. The resulting photos are absolutely gorgeous. They are colorful, candid and perfectly captured the evening we had planned. We will cherish them always! I would hire Anne again in a second, she is a gem of a photographer. More...

Anne Staveley took our wedding to another level. She saw angles of the ceremony and reception that no one else did. Because she was familiar with our venue already, she knew exactly where to place my family and me. She knew all the great shots, the perfect poses, and she kept the sessions to a minimum so that we could enjoy the evening. She photographed our rings, our bridal party, our flower girl, our cakes - all with minimal guidance. And she made us feel at ease, and taken care of, even as she never, ever imposed. Truly, one of the most meaningful parts of our wedding will be the photos Anne Staveley took. She captured our wedding and made it more beautiful through her lens. I wept as I looked through her photos of our special day; she'd seen the beauty in everything. She took the time to photograph each couple and family , and she was patient with my many particularities. Do yourself a favor: book Anne Staveley way in advance. You won't regret it. More...

In a little over one hour, Anne captured stunning group and solo portraits of our famiy of 5 (including 3 teens) and 3 dogs.  Her lighting and color skills are extraordinary. She is a joy to work with and her fees are well worth the quality result. More...
