Ann was an amazing, thoughtful, funny, wonderful, extraordinary, efficient, and in all ways delightful wedding photographer. She managed our 40ish minutes of remaining sunlight after our ceremony with grace and ease and her jokes and encouragement helped keep our smiles genuine through all the poses and permutations of family members we had to run through. We also got several amazing candids from during the ceremony and a couple "pictures of pictures" while friends and family took advantage of the golden hour for selfies on the beach. If we could get married all over again, we'd make sure Ann would be there to capture the magic! read more

Ann Coffman Photography - Event Photography Near Me

We hired Ann for my daughter's wedding on St. Pete Beach. Her pictures were spectacular! Many photographers can take pleasing pictures, but Ann was able to coax some wonderful expressions out of the bride and groom. She was entertaining and managed to capture the emotion of the day better than I could have dreamed. I can't recommend Ann Coffman Photography highly enough! read more

I hired Ann off thumbtack for my July 22nd wedding. She showed me the night of our meeting how she retouches photos to where she removed people/objects out of the picture, brightened the picture, blurred the picture background, cleared all blemishes of the face and skin, and whitened the teeth ect. SHE DID NOT do this to my wedding photos! She simply ran it through a preset program to brighten the screen only. She put NO ENTHUSASM into fixing my wedding pictures! When I contacted her and asked her to fix a handful of my pictures RIGHT so I could print them she told me no she wasn't going to do it. She sure did it the day I booked to get my business! Also before all of this I schedule an engagement session with her and she canceled on me the day of when I already paid to get my hair and makeup done then I see her on Facebook out eating with her boyfriend. Not to mention she added an extra $40 for a travel fee the day before my pictures were scheduled for and when I questioned her about it she got defensive and told me their would only be no travel to do it in the small town of Riverview FL where she lived ALTHOUGH she is the one who recommended the place in Tampa where we originally booked the session for! I didn't end up rescheduling with her and tried to smooth things over so she wouldn't cancel the day of my wedding since I already had a contract and paid the deposit. The day of the wedding she snapped on my 9 year old nephew and was very rude to my bridesmaids when it came to moving furniture. She could have been a LITTLE nicer instead of raising her voice and clapping her hands at them like they were dumb! I feel like she did not put any effort into retouching my photos (as contract stated) because of our disagreement over the hidden transportation fee. Big mistake to book with her BUT IF YOU DO don't question ANYTHING or you will get crappy photos like I did! Edited to add: NEVER did I ever say how professional you are!! Your name and professional would NEVER come out of the same sentence of my mouth! You ditched my engagement pictures to go on a date with a married man for god sake after I had paid a makeup and hair artist!That tells you how unprofessional you really are. I asked you NICELY to retouch just a HANDFUL of my photos and make them look presentable and nice so I could get them printed and you wouldn't even do that! You ran my 435 photos through a preset program and gave me back my photos within 48 hours of taking them. That's impossible. Screenshots attached for reference. read more

My husband and I planned a very last minute wedding in Ana Maria Beach (one week to prepare to be exact). Candidly speaking, we were very nervous about the photography aspect as a lot of people claim to be photographers, but very few are actually talented in this field. Ann was so incredibly wonderful to work with, and immediately alleviated our concerns. Her energy and clear understanding of photography allowed her to capture absolutely beautiful moments of our special day. She was assertive, which is perfect for someone like myself that tends to freeze in pics, yet she was very affectionate. She took the time to make sure my dress, hair and bouquet were picture perfect - something most photographers don't care about. She also has the ability to make a stranger feel at ease by quickly developing a rapport, which allowed the photos to come across more naturally. Most importantly, she is so passionate about photography and will spend those extra minutes to ensure that she captures a perfect shot. She stayed well beyond her allotted time to make sure that she captured as many special moments. Now, we have these gorgeous memories for years to come to share with our loved ones. Would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

When I first got in communication with Ann, I was desperate for a good but cheap photographer because my budget was very small but she assured me that she was definitely worth all the money.After months of scrimping and saving, we took the leap and hired her. On the day of our wedding, Ann arrived on time but did not start taking pictures until a full half hour after she was suppose to start. She did not take pictures of my guests, the location, or any detail whatsoever during the whole half hour before the commencement of my ceremony. After the ceremony, we had a cocktail hour set for our guests while we would take private photos. After the private photos, we all headed back to the cocktail room and I went off to fix myself. Later, I found out that Ann did not take any pictures of the lovely table and food we had set out, or of our decorations, or our guests at all during that time because she was too busy eating our food. My husband even asked her about it. At the reception site, my mom caught her taking handfuls of Peruvian sweets from my dessert table and stuffing them into her purse. When my mom confronted her about it, she said they were for her "babies". A few weeks after my wedding, I received the photos back and although most of the photos weren't horrible, they were not PROFESSIONALLY done. Ann often had us in awkward and uncomfortable poses that were not flattering, and there was many times where she could have fixed minor details like hand placement and my hair. She also wanted to charge me extra for minor editing like Sepia and Black & White photos (even though they were included in the contract). Ann missed so many special moments in my wedding that I can never get back, and even though I will never regret my wedding day, I will always regret hiring her. Trust me, there are better photographers out there. Do not hire Ann Coffman! read more
