Not only is Laura an outstanding photographer, she is someone who cares about your vision and has the skills, resources and knowledge to execute it. She also provides invaluable insights and guidance on frames and makes it very easy to have your dream portraits become a reality!

I just picked up pictures Laura had taken of my teenage daughter. They are breath-taking. Laura…read morehas such an artistic eye. She created a fabulous portfolio. My daughter is graduating from high school this June and I wanted "better" pictures to mark the occasion than what the school photographer could provide. Well, she blew my socks off. These are so beyond my expectations I am practically speechless. She was incredibly professional. We met at my home and she showed m examples of her work and what she could provide. I was VERY impressed and we set up a date for the photo shoot. She picked out beautiful locations to take the pictures. She is so friendly and down to earth that my daughter was very relaxed and truly enjoyed the experience and it definitively shows in the pictures. They are magical and have captured her essence at this time of her life just as I had hoped.

We hired Pat for our wedding photography and were thrilled with her! Not only was she a very…read morecompetent wedding photographer, catching all the important moments, being professional, and unobtrusive, her photos are spectacular. She isn't the kind of photographer that gives you cookie cutter shots that look identical to anyone else's portfolio. She is certainly capable of that, but you would be wasting her talents. Her work has an originality and detail that comes from only an artist. Our photos are everything we could have wanted, from classics portraits to lively candid shots, that not only look beautiful, but contain the essence of the day. I look at them today and I can still feel the excitement, the love and joyousness that I felt then. I simply could not have been more pleased.

I was referred to Pat by Eddie Muller, who runs the San Francisco Film Noir Festival. Pat had done…read moresome publicity photos for him, and he was delighted with her. I needed new head shots and publicity photos: I'm an author. Pat was professional, easy and fun to work with, and she produced a body of pictures far beyond what I had come to expect from photographers I'd used previously. I got twelve excellent shots--I usually get three, tops--and about two dozen others that were usable. This is an astonishing rate of success in my experience, and I couldn't be more pleased. I have referred all my writer friends to Pat, and I hope she picks up a boatload of work. I can't imagine anyone coming away from working Pat without the highest accolades for both the experience and the results.

She was attentive and personable. And most of all plenty of experience shooting all over. When I told her the venue I would be at, she then mentioned how she had just shot at the same venue the weekend prior. Because of that she was able to navigate through the venue with no problem, and even gave us some tips to get some great photos (she asked us to see if we could get the front of the venue coned off so that no cars would be in the photo when we take pictures in front). She edited the pictures quickly and they came out great. They were like mini time machines taking us back to the exact moment. I highly recommend Aimi for your next photoshoot!

This review is for the consultation only for wedding photography…read more I found Annabella through a wedding expo in San Francisco. My fiance and I met with Alisa from Annabella. She came to our home in Oakland on a week night to meet with us and was very responsive with our questions, both in person and through e-mail. Alisa was very interested in learning about the types of pictures we would want to take, where we would want to take them, and our photography style. We did not end up hiring her, but I would have felt comfortable doing so. We just found someone that we liked a little bit more. I would definitely recommend her to friends looking for wedding photographers.

All is can say is WOW! Jennifer and Alisa far exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning of…read moreour consultation to the very end of receiving our images and albums. When I first met with them, I was blown away with their expertise, professionalism and personalities. I knew right then and there that I HAD TO HAVE THEM! So what did I do? Booked them right on the spot to ensure my day was going to be photographed by Annabella. Our first photo shoot encounter was during our engagement shoot and this is where my new appreciation for photographers went through the roof. We did it in mid March and it was raining and pouring. We were a little hesitant on doing it in that weather but Jennifer and Alisa persuaded us to just go out there and have fun with the rain. And that is EXACTLY what we did. We grabbed our rain boots and umbrellas an hit the road. Ramon and I looked FANTASTIC in the pictures! Although, I can't say the same for the people "behind the scenes". Jennifer and Alisa were decked out in rain gear from head to toe and their cameras were covered in plastic. While we were under an overhang, they were in the pouring rain trying to get the perfect shot. And to say the least... mission accomplished. I was ecstatic when our images came back. I was so happy we did it in the rain. Each and every shot seemed so much more intimate and very artistic. Fast forward a year.... a few weeks leading up to our wedding.... Jennifer and I were in close contact. She made a point to make sure she understood my vision and hopes for my wedding day photos. She jotted down my "MUST TAKE" photos. I really appreciated this. It showed me she cared to meet all my expectations. It's the little things like this that make a vendor stand out. Fast forward to my wedding day! YAY! =) Perfect, Perfect, Perfect. They were there on time. They made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. All my must haves were taken. I loooved how every time I looked in a different direction, I saw either Jennifer or Alisa shooting away.... but my favorite part about that was that they were very discrete about it. No one really noticed them and that is a big plus in my book! They were there for me from the very beginning to the very end. A few weeks later, they sent me their images and everyone was BLOWN AWAY! They captured exactly what I wanted and so much more. Not only do their photos speak for itself, but just who they are as a person. During the planning process, they went out of their way to build a friendship and to really get to know us. This played a huge role in how comfortable we were in front of the camera on our wedding day because we had previously established that relationship. Every picture was so natural. We are so grateful and honored to be shot by Annabella Photography. They truly are amazing and artistic people. I can't wait to hire them for upcoming events. It was a pleasure to work with them and I would recommend them and only them to the world!

My husband and I felt awkward about taking the more affectionate photos but Clayton and Julia put our nerves at ease immediately. The photos came out so natural and effortless. They captured the venue, food and everything else we would want to remember from our special day. They took pictures of all of our guests and even got my grandmother to smile, which never happens. Julia came up to my room as my bridesmaids and I got ready while Clayton went to my husbands room and captured guys being guys. They scoped out our venue and photo location before the day of the event so the group photos were very efficient and timely. Clayton and Julia blended into our party like all of our other guests which we loved because they were able to capture candid moments as well as posed. We couldn't have dreamed of a better photography team and we were so lucky to have them.
