“Talented, creative, dedicated and professional (plus simply lovely to be around!)…

Anna did a wonderful job capturing beautiful memories from our son’s christening and family party this summer. Talented, creative, dedicated and professional (plus simply lovely to be around!). We will cherish these pictures for years to come.

“A total pleasure with her throughout.”

Great choice to trust Anna with our precious memories! A total pleasure with her throughout - Anna listened and knew exactly how we wanted things to be, and then delivered a brilliant and imaginative set of images which perfectly capture the people and the party.

“This was such an important moment for our family and we are all delighted with the results

Thank you, Anna, they are wonderful.

We are just so pleased that you were to capture all the moments, the groups and that big group family photograph. This was such an important and special moment for our family and we are all delighted with the results.

“Her advice and professionalism is exceptional. The end product sublime.”

We planned for a special weekend with our civil partnership and John’s 40th birthday the next day: small scale Town Hall ceremony followed by a helicopter tour over the city and the next day hosted a party on a barge in Battersea.

We are so glad to have selected Anna as our photographer. Her advice and professionalism is exceptional. The end product sublime. She got along superbly well with all the guests; just blending in and capturing so many wonderful moments. Thanks to Anna’s photography we have wonderful images to record those memories forever.

“Wow did she achieve that in bucketfuls”

When I first made contact with Anna to be my photographer for my 69er, I stressed how important to me it was to capture my family and friends as they were - happy joyful people of all ages and the love and laughter in the room.
Wow did she achieve that in bucketfuls. In fact, Anna was so great at the party we totally forgot she was the photographer and not one of our crowd.
When I received the album, I was overwhelmed and promptly ordered her frames to hang a few pictures on the wall so I could see my family and friends each day. They make me smile each and every day.

Lindsay's surprise 50th birthday party and her husband Richard guides her to the microphone before removing her blindfold to reveal a hundred guests in front of  her.

“It was an unforgettable night and for me and my missus; Anna's photos ensure it'll stay that way, forever.”

Somehow, Anna managed to blend in and go unnoticed to get really natural shots, yet still built a friendly rapport with our guests. We had so many great pics to choose from.  

She turned up well before the first guests to capture arrivals and caught the big 'surprise' moment so well. To ensure she got some classic moments, Anna kept going long after some of her subjects had become 'tired and emotional’. 

It was an unforgettable night and for me and my missus; Anna's photos ensure it'll stay that way, forever.

“ There are no words to say how grateful I am.”

Thank you Anna for the wonderful pictures. I will never forget… There are no words to say how grateful I am.
Some of them - actually PLENTY of them - are poetic, to say the least. I cried looking at some of them.

There are some of Massimo, with Carlos, my parents and lots of others that are really pieces of art so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

“Thank you Anna for your perfection” 

Anna - you have captured the story of Richard’s 70 Not Out party with such beauty and grace.  There is just one fabulous photo after another of good friends, of family and the one’s of the children are wonderful.

You have captured the spirit of the day perfectly with your discreet, clever and observant eye. The album tells a beautiful story - a thing of beauty that we shall treasure forever. Thank you so much. An outstanding success.

“There were so many stunning ones”

Anna came to photograph us whilst we were on holiday in Aldeburgh celebrating my mother’s birthday. The whole family was there (17 of us) and we ranged in age from 10–80.
From the start, Anna slotted in and became part of the family for the day. She was very easy-going, bubbly and warm and brilliant with everyone.
It had been a slightly dreary day weather-wise, so we were particularly thrilled with the end results which didn’t reflect this at all. There were so many stunning ones.

“The photos are always absolutely stunningly beautiful”

Christian and I are always thrilled with the stunning photos Anna takes. We have used her several times now. We love natural photos which really capture the character of each child or the atmosphere of an event.

Anna has that talent and is so easy to work with. She is reliable, organised and always on time for an event. She works to capture the story and the people almost without them noticing which adds extra magic to her photographs. 

She has bags of energy but is very discreet.

As for the albums and frames - Anna’s service and care is exceptional; she has immaculate taste and style. The photos are always absolutely stunningly beautiful.
