Anna Wu Photography

eyond happy with the final photos!

as it felt like my now husband and I just hanging out- that’s her magic. We are overjoyed with the finished product. She captured the emotions and joy of the day as well as caught everyone’s personality with her lens. She is truly skilled and we’re so happy she was a part of our day.

r local photographers, and as soon as I came across Anna's portfolio, instantly knew I wanted her to do the shoot. Thankfully she was still available! From the get-go, Anna was incredibly easy to work with. She responded within a day to my initial outreach (and all subsequent emails), and very patiently answered all my questions on her rates and packages, gave multiple suggestions on locations to do the shoot and logistical considerations, which was incredible helpful for a foreigner. Anna was just as personable in person, which made it very easy to work with her. We thought the process would be awkward, but it was just the opposite. We just followed her guidance and trusted in her talent to get us the perfect frame and lighting! We were also surprised by how quickly all the photos came back. Within a month, all photos were edited and sent to us. Needless to say, we love the photos as well!

hat I physically needed to do (i.e stay on my knee longer, positioning myself well for the photos, hiding my bag), to be extremely helpful. Anna's attention to the fine details in both the pre-proposal planning and on the actual day really show how much she cares about capturing the absolute best photos for her clients. I was also pretty anxious about the photo session afterwards. Both my fiancee and I are pretty shy in front of a camera and so the idea of a photo session afterwards was pretty nerve wracking. However, Anna made the entire session super easy and extremely fun! We really appreciated how she led us to various scenic locations and gave us easy to understand instructions on how we should position ourselves to not look awkward! We were having such a great time that before we knew it, the photo session was over! We had the best time working with Anna and the photos were absolutely breathtaking! We would 1000% recommend working with Anna, she's the best!!

d truly made magic happen behind the camera. 1000% worth it!

eremony capturing memories. In our couples shoot, Anna made it really easy and natural for us to be in our various poses for the shots. She helped turn any awkwardness instead into a fun and intimate experience. On the back end, Anna is extremely professional with transparent communications, streamlined cloud-based systems to manage payment/transfer of files, etc. I've noticed other couples hiring her as they moved through the life-stages of life, and we look forward to doing the same!

ay. Additionally, she made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera even though we were nervous, and was so helpful and attentive to details that the pictures turned out PERFECT. She gave us a sneak peek almost immediately, and we couldn’t wait to share her pictures with our friends and family. Our wedding photo album was also beautifully put together and a keepsake we’ll treasure for years to come. (yes the album is totally worth it)

ctly and was such a joy to work with! She took photos for both our Seattle engagement photoshoot and for our Berkeley wedding, both times navigating various obstacles along the way including unpredictable weather, pandemic rescheduling, and taking photos with a less than cooperative pup. She is detailed orientated and highly knowledge of wedding logistics, at the same time maintaining a great attitude and flexibility for those unpredictable wedding day mishaps. As camera-shy people, she helped us feel comfortable, providing gentle redirection and encouragement to help us look our best. We were beyond thrilled by our wedding photos and can't wait to share them with everyone!

responsive, punctual, and communicates the process/expectations very clearly. Beyond professionalism, Anna also is very skilled at making her clients feel at ease while giving gentle instructions for tried-and-true poses. She just captures natural moments beautifully. We are beyond thrilled with the results and are looking for excuses to work with her again!

ted to understand what made us tick so that she could really tailor things to our style and preferences (and was very accommodating to our dog who we wanted to be in the pictures with us). She was understanding and patient as we weathered this pandemic and offered support as we were trying to reconfigure everything. She has a deep knowledge of wedding logistics, and we valued her input and holistic approach to thinking through our events. Communication was always on point. Day of, she comes prepared with a plan, but she’s also great at noticing the flow around her and helping to adjust when needed. We really can’t imagine working with anyone else, and would recommend her to everyone we know!

Her photography is beautiful and she is a joy to work with. Her turn around time is very reasonable and she is responsive. We look forward to doing another shoot with her when our baby is older.

t larger than some of the weddings she typically shoots but she handled all the different variables and obstacles with grace and efficiency (even acting as wedding planner/coordinator when the need arose.) Anna is very detail-oriented, meticulous, and creative and she clearly takes a lot of pride in her work. Her work itself is beautiful (the photos, the editing, the print, albums, packaging-just everything!) and of the highest quality. She is very communicative and the wait time for our orders was quick and reasonable. You can't go wrong hiring Anna!

ial day, Anna flowed in and out of each scene seamlessly. She captured our wedding day perfectly! We've been very busy in our first year of marriage, so we didn't get to finalize our wedding album until almost a year later! She has been extremely patient and kind. Looking back at the photo album she put together is such a treat. We can't wait to cherish the memories of that day through this album for the rest of our lives. Thank you!! You cannot go wrong working with Anna. We definitely plan to make her the exclusive photographer for our family going forward.

between all the photography, she also knew how to work with the different members of our group, going from parents to the various siblings and significant others who joined us to make sure no one was missed in our pictures. She was always on top of it with a positive attitude, making working with her a fun experience on a very busy day!

, and gave us photos that we will cherish forever. Highly recommended!!

s in order for the special day. Anna conducted herself in a very friendly but professional manner throughout the time we had taking photos, including taking us to some wonderful attractions that made for great pictures. The photos she took on the day were impeccable and i highly, highly recommend Anna to be anyone's wedding photographer.

t the best shot, and responds quickly to email/questions. Our engagement shots turned out beautifully. The colors at Lover's Lane turned out great. She also accommodated some of our cheesy shots. On our wedding day, she showed up early with Lawrence and Rosa, who were equally helpful and able to help with various shots and wrangle friend groups. Anna stayed later than she was planned, seemed to always be at the right place at the right time, and continuously offered words of encouragement. We can't wait to see her shots which which will be beautiful!

e absolutely delighted by the work she did for our small outdoor ceremony. What you can't see just by looking at our wedding album, however, is how invaluable Anna was to us before she even picked up her camera. Though our ceremony was held in SF, my wife and I live in Germany; planning a wedding from half-way around the world is already a challenge, and it's not like we came in with any experience. From the moment we got in touch, Anna accommodated our needs, patiently answered our countless questions, and provided invaluable advice - it instantly felt like she was part of the team. On the day of, she struck a perfect balance between blending into the background and giving direction. The result is a collection of photos that we will cherish forever. I cannot imagine what this process would have been like without Anna's help and expertise, and I cannot recommend her more highly!

photos. We just got the engagement photos back and she is incredibly talented as well! We LOVE her and cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding!! THANK YOU ANNA!

ring our initial engagement photo shoot, she helped my husband and I feel more comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. On our wedding day, she and the additional photographer and assistant were wonderful. They photographed all of the aspects that we had discussed beforehand and were also able to capture the small details and candid moments. Anna was very organized and responsive, and she was also able to be flexible (and help keep me calm) when our wedding day timeline for photographs got delayed due transportation issues. We have received so many compliments on our wedding photos and are proud to show off our beautiful albums. We would HIGHLY recommend Anna Wu Photography!

nto a memorable and enjoyable experience. And Anna is definitely one of those vendors that just puts us at ease with her talent, her easygoing nature, and her enthusiasm for her work. Our first opportunity to work with Anna was for our engagement photos. Being a camera-shy couple, we were prepared to have the shoot be an hour of awkwardness. However, Anna is extremely professional and gave us just enough instructions to make the shoot run smoothly, but also made us feel comfortable enough to be ourselves and act naturally. We came away from the shoot with a better understanding of Anna's work style and affirmation that we had chosen an amazing photographer. The day of our wedding was unexpectedly hectic. However, throughout the whole event, Anna and her team worked around our shifting timeline and handled all the craziness with calmness and a great sense of humor. I should also note that we gave Anna very minimal instructions about the day of our wedding but they somehow seemed to know where to be and all the right moments to capture. Post wedding, Anna kept in touch and clearly communicated everything we need to know in terms of ordering prints and albums. When our order finally arrived, we were very touched by all the thought that Anna put into the package, which included prints of some of her favorite photos from our wedding day. We also love, LOVE, our wedding album dearly and relive the day every time we flip through the photos. We highly recommend Anna to any couple looking to hire a wedding photographer. Anna -- we can't wait to work with you again in the future for our anniversary photos!

y to focus on just that, the details. I was in love with her portfolio and HAD to have her for my wedding photographer! From the beginning, Anna was very responsive and helped us choose the package that would suit our needs. She also has the flexibility for add-ons which is great! When I met her at the engagement photo shoot, I knew I'd really like her. She's very easy going and pays attention to the details so you don't have to. We had so much fun running around Stow Lake in San Francisco with her I was extremely excited for her work at our wedding. We just got our photos back, and are THRILLED with how they turned out! In both portraits and candids, Anna made us look amazing and that attests to Anna's amazing ability to capture moments that we will be able to cherish forever! She captured a variety of shots so that we would have tons of options to choose from. And if you are like me and need directives when taking photos a lot of times so that I don't have awkward posture or weird looking fingers and Anna was perfect in helping me out there! Looking through all my pictures, I am able to relive the excitement and really feel the love of my wedding day! I can't wait to find some other excuse to take pictures with her! :)

professional throughout the entire process and we couldn't be happier with the photos. Anna was very responsive to emails and questions leading up to the wedding and had unique ideas for shots. Thank you to Anna for everything she did to perfectly capture our special day!

nal, super sweet, and during our ceremony/reception, I didn't even notice she and the second shooter were there (i.e., they weren't in the way/in everyone's face, and they still got amazing shots). My only nitpick - and let me say up front this isn't Anna's fault because it's plainly written in her contract - I wish I could have all of the raw files without having to pay an exorbitant amount more. I know this is very rare for any kind of professional photography, but as an amateur photographer myself, I would like to have all the images I paid for (edited or unedited). I don't want to profit off of them, I just want them for future enjoyment! :)
