Hi friends - I'm Annelise, otherwise known as Annie and I love capturing moments from a unique and artistic perspective! I don’t just show up and take photos - I love to collaborate with my clients to curate an experience that will last a lifetime!

My love of photography started when I was 14 and the journey has been an amazing ride ever since. I spent a large amount of time after college living in Cambodia and India to jump start my career as a documentary photographer and since then have worked in many different industries relating to photography, film, and production. I love it the most when my work takes me new places, because I am immediately dropped into that culture/experience with a couple or new assignment. You can currently find me based in San Diego, CA, always content to be meeting new people and working with other creatives.

I take a documentary style approach to all of my photography clients - weddings, families, and engagements included. This is what helps me capture raw and organic emotions! I like to imagine myself as that fly on the wall everyone always talks about. With this as the base of my approach I love to layer in editorial posing and style to curate a timeless and effortless collection of images.

In order to properly document your moments I believe you should know who I am wholly so you know what you are getting into - so hit that contact button and we can become besties over a nice glass of vino or a quick call!

Working with Annie was a dream. She is kind, friendly, and extremely talented. We hired her for our daughter's wedding. We loved her editing style, but what really drew us to her was her ability to tell a story with her photography. When we received the sneak peek gallery we all had different favorites, my daughter and her wife loved the photos that captured movement, while I like the more artistic-looking photos, my husband really loves the more traditional photos. In one sneak peek gallery, she was able to tell a beautiful story. She is truly creating family heirlooms. We couldn't have imagined the day any differently and are so blessed to have Annie's photos to remind us of how truly special it was.

My partner and I feel so lucky to have crossed paths with Annie. Her adventurous spirit, combined with her passion, personality and professionalism transformed our engagement and wedding photos into tangible memories that we’ll cherish forever. Annie took the time to get to know my partner and I, and we so enjoyed getting to know her as well. Annie trekked through snowy mountain passes and across a frozen lake to make our engagement photos possible. She dedicated her entire day to us on our wedding day and made us feel so at ease. We are beyond grateful to have shared these special memories with such an incredible, talented, and skilled individual.

Having Annie as a photographer was the best decisions we made for our wedding. Documenting specific moments throughout the wedding was important to us. My (now) husband and I aren’t comfortable being in front of a camera, but Annie made the entire day seamless. She was able to capture natural, sentimental moments without us even noticing she was in the room. She literally kicked off her shoes and went to great lengths (like touching a cactus) in order to take a gorgeous photograph. Annie captured every wedding detail and precious moment leading up to and during the ceremony. 

If I had to sum up my wedding photos in one word, it would be “perfection”. The editing is beautiful yet organic, the photos capture the best moments of the day, and the entire process of working with Annie was the easiest part of wedding planning.
