Anna Bowser Photography

o detail ensured that every shot was perfect, and her expertise shone through in the final results. I highly recommend Anna to anyone in need of exceptional photography services.

familiar with her and her work. She actually photographed my sister’s wedding, so I felt comfortable and confident choosing her for mine. Even though she worked with my sister first and knew me as the bride’s little sister, she never made me feel like a past client’s sister. She walked me through every process and treated me like I was my own person, which may not sound like much, but it meant a lot #littlesistersyndrome lol I love how her photos reflect true colors, making for timeless photos that won’t show age due to a specific photography trend. My sisters photos, even though they are 5 years old now, still look classy and beautiful, not dated. Day of, Anna was a huge help as well. She has a bride/couple first mentality, making sure we were okay, taken care of, and enjoying our day. She handled nosy family members like a champ, reminding them that she is photographing the event and for them to let her do her job (respectfully of course). She kept us on schedule and made sure we got all of the photos we wanted. We requested sunset pictures and she picked the perfect time to pull us away so that we got the photos and didn’t miss too much of the reception. Having high-quality photos, and a lot of them, was one of my highest priorities for our wedding day. It was truly the best day and I am so thankful to have Anna’s beautiful photos to help us remember the day. She is 100% worth the investment!

like we were catching up with a friend we had known for years. We booked Anna’s wedding photography services which included an engagement session. We didn’t need engagement photos for any of our wedding stationary or website but it was the perfect time to get to know each other. Although we forgot to bring an outfit and we got a little lost on the hike to the viewpoint, we had fun the whole time and Anna made it a point to get to know us and our love story. The wedding day services were amazing with Anna and her second photographer, Janeen, always on the ball. They worked their way through our photo list with flexibility as conditions changed, and were always looking for ways to capture moments and groups of people that were important to us. Anna was great about letting us know when we had to decide between sunset photos and additional group shots without being pushy. And we are grateful she helped us decide to get the sunset photos – they are some of our favorites! She also made sure to check-in on us throughout the wedding day and worked amazingly with our other vendors. It was a fantastic wedding and we are so happy we chose Anna to capture that magic!

f our wedding long distance. But Anna was so quick and thorough with answering questions and easing nerves. We met up via zoom and were instantly at ease. Between creating a wedding timeline for us, wrangling my large family, last minute changes, and a weather delay there wasn’t a second that she was anything other than calm, collected, and professional. On top of that, she made sure both my husband and I were comfortable and that we soaked in the little moments, which she captured perfectly in the pictures of the day. Anna was truly able to perfectly capture the spirit of my absolute favorite day, and I cannot recommend her enough.

make you laugh, and a good communicator Anna is your wedding photographer! Included albums and a USB flash drive of all of your images are an added bonus. Anna really captured the type of photos we wanted, more candid, natural images. WE LOVE ANNA!

ograph our wedding. Anna is so easy to work with! She was there to answer any questions I had, whether it was about the timeline or what tie combination would look best. She was willing to talk through anything with me and that eased a lot of stress. She responded quickly and was willing to meet or jump on a call to talk through all options. She got photos of all the important moments but all of the little moments as well. Not only is she amazing at what she does but she is so much fun to work with! She made us all feel so comfortable and laughed with us. I would recommend Anna to anyone and everyone. I am still amazed at how beautiful our photos are and so very thankful for all of the moments captured. Thank you Anna, for everything!

words cannot express how grateful and blessed I feel to have had her over this past year and especially on our wedding day. From the beginning, Anna was so kind and easy to work with. Her energy and passion comes to life and she makes you feel so important, beautiful, and excited all at the same time. She was willing to bear the 10 DEGREE WEATHER to capture our engagement pictures. She came equipped with hand warmers, blankets, and even took the time to go hike the mountain a week beforehand to make sure she understood the landscape and lighting - like are you kidding me?! She knows exactly how to direct you (especially when you’re freezing your butt off and need to hurry) and get the perfect shots. I was nervous about Covid and don’t live in Virginia (where our wedding would take place) and she took the time to talk me through her thoughts and help put my mind at ease, it felt like I was talking to a lifelong friend. On our wedding day, she arrived with such a great energy and made sure we stayed on time and got things DONE. Like I was warned, time does slip fast that day and she made sure we got everything done that we needed. She knew exactly when to come up to me to snag me for sunset pics, which were being threatened by rain. Her and her assistant were watching the radar like hawks and were literally planning things minute by minute to ensure the 10 minute gap in rain that we went outside to do the sparkler exit and photos in our get away car. She wasn’t afraid to tell people to kindly but firmly move to make sure we stayed on track to get pictures. And as if my mind wasn’t already blown away, she had us jump in a rain puddle at the end of the night and kick water AT HER. She was literally getting dirty, cold, muddy water splashed all over her and in her face and it didn’t even phase her, she just said “keep kicking!” Lol I could seriously cry just thinking about how grateful I am for her and she is worth every penny and more. Lastly, on top of alllllll of that, her work is BREATHTAKING. The talent that this woman has is indescribable. If you don’t hire Anna, you’re missing out on the best photographer on this planet. Thank you Anna , for everything ❤️

POURED rain during our engagement session, but that didn’t stop her from capturing gorgeous, colorful photos! This incredible lady crawled around in the mud, photographed from under a bush, and hiked all around the grounds of our engagement session looking for colorful trees. During our wedding, she and her assistant captured every detail in exquisite style. They were professional and unobtrusive, yet kept things moving along and had a well-thought-out process. Anna was willing to work with me to plan every single detail of the day down to the minute and communicated quickly through email and text. She is very experienced and was able to offer excellent advice. We received back so many photos and we treasure them! The prints we ordered are lovely and high-quality. I cannot recommend ABP enough! Thank you, Anna!

ion with her, as well and let me just say my husband and I are camera shy and honestly kind of weird in front of a camera, but Anna made us comfortable and the pictures turned out great! We didn’t look weird in any of them, that’s more of a testament to Anna’s skills than anything! My wedding party is definitely a crazy bunch, but she was able to wrangle us all in and get the shots she needed. And girl will do anything for the perfect shot, including balancing on a rocking chair on a hill, phew that was scary! She laughed with us and had fun with us and was able to capture the feeling of our special day. Logistically, she is quick to respond, professional, provides quick turnaround for pictures, and easy to talk to. As a bride, I would recommend her wholeheartedly with the utmost confidence, just look at her websites and you will fall in love. I am going to continue to stalk her work through Facebook and Instagram because she is that good! Can’t wait until I have another reason to get professional photos done because this girl is a customer for life!

We immediately knew we wanted to have her as our wedding photographer and we are so glad that we did! Anna was easy to work with, very professional, and her photographs are amazing! We also loved her sense of adventure and our mountain engagement session.

e, and I loved seeing the personality of her couples in her amazing photography gallery. When I first contacted her, she was also drawn to us! Our first consult was expected to last an hour and probably lasted at least 2! She took the time to get to know us, how we met, etc. before getting into the business side. She is one of those people that I can see being friends with even now, after our wedding! Anna is a sweet person, talented photographer, and utmost professional. We gave her ideas of what we wanted to do (in our engagement session as well as wedding), but also trusted her to get the shots we may have not thought about. I also did a “just for him” session with Anna and it was a lot of fun, especially for something that I would usually be uncomfortable with. There was a lot of laughter and she made the entire experience comfortable. Anna is timely, knows how to be efficient, and her second shooter (although I did not work much with her the day of) Riley seemed sweet and knew what she was doing as well. During the reception, I could see both of them working the room and taking photos – though never in the way! While I am still waiting for the wedding photos (the wedding was only a few weeks ago!), I know they will be great. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Anna! We’re not local, but she will travel (as will we!) and if we ever want a photo session in the future, we will definitely consider her! Her prices were reasonable and well worth every single penny!!!

rs for our daughter's wedding!

s the best personality. She made the process fun for both of us and was very responsive throughout the whole process.

mages were everything we hoped for and more. Her pictures are magical and truly encompass and capture the love we share and our time with our family/wedding parties. I have a hard time choosing favorites! She was so friendly and made us both feel very at ease! I highly recommend Anna! I’ll definitely keep in touch and use her in the future! Thank you so much, Anna, for everything!!! You’re wonderful!

to work with! She made everything FUN! Her adventurous approach is exactly what we dreamed of. Not many photographers would drive two hours and hang out on a cliff with you but Anna sure did! The wind was atrocious and had me eating my hair the whole time but Anna magically captured the most BEAUTIFUL pictures. I seriously don't know how she did it. Fast forward to our wedding day and Anna went absolutely above and beyond to capture our day and make things perfect! She knew how to handle our 3 year old daughter and my camera shy husband. She is a master at getting shots of true laughter, love, moments, and our story! Our friends and family adored her and she was such a light of joy to have at our big day! We not only walked away from this experience with the most amazing pictures we will cherish forever, but also a new friend. I would recommend Anna to every single person willing to listen. I am already brainstorming reasons to use her again!

cted of her. She brought another aspect into my special day and helped my day be better than I ever thought it could be. She not only worked at the wedding, but she also helped me with duties that did not include photography. I could go on and on about her but she is seriously amazing. Her attitude, professionalism, and ability to capture the shots I knew I wanted, all in a timely and concise manner, helped make my day go smoothly and put my mind at ease. She's so talented and creative, you won't be disappointed. I've already recommended her to one of my friends that is getting married in December, and I would give her the highest recommendation. And if I could give her more than 5 stars, I would.

TO BRING MY BOUQUET OUTSIDE WITH ME!!! In a flash, Anna took her ponytail down, grabbed flowers from a nearby vase, wrapped her hair bow around it making it a bouquet for me to toss! Now that is a great photographer!! On top of that she clipped extra bobby pins to her dress to fix my updo (which did happen)! My extended family that I got photos with after the ceremony said it was the most efficient photo lineup they've ever seen! She helped make my day run so much more smoothly!! Oh, and her photos are beautiful, of course! High quality, light, and airy!

e did just that! I didn't meet Anna until our engagement shoot and after minutes of meeting her she felt like a friend. I cannot say enough good things about Anna. I would recommend her to anyone!

our wedding photographer. She was very professional throughout the whole process, and even though we hired a friend, I felt like we got the best of both worlds- expertise and an easy relationship . She was fantastic at staying on schedule and reminding me of moments that I wanted to capture, especially during our reception. It is very easy to get wrapped up in talking to guests and dancing and she made sure we did not miss the key moments we had outlined with her before hand. We opted to hire a second photographer through ABP as well and that was a great decision; Tracie was just as wonderful as Anna and we enjoyed working with her. My husband and I would highly recommend Anna Bowser Photography, and hope to use her services again in the future ourselves!

she knew and what she could do for us. With our package we also did an engagement shoot, which she drove to meet us in Richmond. She was very kind when we were extremely nervous. I would highly recommend doing the engagement pictures first, because it made the wedding day so much easier because we already felt comfortable. When she arrived on the wedding day, I was a ball of nerves and several things were going on around me, and I was pretty much locked in a cabin until my ceremony. She came right in and started grabbing things for detail shots, and just hung around making me feel at ease. We look forward to getting our pictures in a few months, but I am confident that they will be amazing.

nt photo session and was surprised at her "creative eye." We were walking through a local park for a variety of backdrops and she'd freeze, have us back up and pose in certain ways to capture perfect lighting, an interesting tree in the distance, etc. The pictures turned out great because they were all so different and unique! We chose to also have her photograph our wedding. I couldn't believe the sheer number of pictures she was able to take in such a small amount of time, demonstrating her ability to be efficient in such small time windows (which you will realize is important during the chaos of preparing to walk down the aisle!) She was also able to control our HUGE wedding party long enough to grab some great pictures with everyone. She took her time with my husband and I, scouting out different backgrounds and poses. I'd recommend Anna to anyone looking for an efficient, creative wedding photographer!

ctures and a full copyright to make whatever prints we wanted. Would definitely recommend!

o get the best possible service from her. Everyone at our wedding was talking about how much she was running around trying to get every detail! She is unlike any other photographer we've ever dealt with and I'll say this a million times. If there was anything we did right while planning our wedding it was deciding to book her as the photographer! She made us feel so comfortable and not stiff and awkward during the picture session after the ceremony! We will return to Anna for future pictures!!!

ed with her work. Not only was she professional during the ceremony and the reception but towards the end, she really got into it by dancing and having a great time with friends and family which made those pictures much more fun and entertaining. She was awesome!
