She was on time and prepared. Annie said several times that she was willing to take any individual and group shots we wanted. She would also pause to fix hair (important on a windy beach!), adjust clothing and make suggestions for poses. Our granddaughter is 1 year old and she was patient and broke up the shots she was in, so she didn't get cranky. We got our pictures back this week and they are stunning! I would 100% recommend Annie and Black Pineapple Photography.

I'm honestly not the kind of person that writes bad reviews but I feel I need to share so that no…read moreother brides go through what we did because I didn't say anything. I saw one other bad review and thought "what are the chances that happens to me" well turns out it did. I will start with the good. Emily contacted me back almost immediately after my first inquiry towards her services. I thanked her for being quick to respond and told her it was a refreshing change compared to other vendors. Emily and I quickly customized a photography package that was exactly what we needed for our big day. I should mention I am from Wisconsin and we were planning a destination wedding. My fiancé and I came to Anna Maria to book other vendors and set up an engagement session with Emily. When we got to Florida Emily texted and asked to reschedule the date as she had made other plans. We worked with it and understood things happen. We changed the date and had our session. That was in May. Emily told us that we would have our photos in about 4-6 weeks. Months past and I had to ask Emily to prepare our photos as we wanted to send out save the dates. We received those pictures on August 1. Time past and it was time to set up our phone call to finalize everything a month before our wedding. We set up the phone call and never received a call. I texted and emailed to reschedule which finally happened a week before the wedding and THE DAY BEFORE we were flying to Florida. Emily also said that she would meet us at our venue for the rehearsal to talk more. I texted her that day and she said she was unable to make it. No big deal. The day of the wedding came. Emily was very professional and a great help getting things done. She helped organize the cake cutting etc and was fun to work with. We have no complaints about how she was at the wedding itself and she was fun to be around. Emily asked how long we would be in Florida for as she wanted to send some "sneak peaks" before we left. Our two week honeymoon came and went with no pictures. I asked Emily if we could have our family photos back before Christmas so I could send them as gifts. She said that she was almost done with our entire gallery and we received only our family photos on December 9 (we were married October 8). I ordered photos off her website and received them quickly. Months went by with no further for photos. I texted and emailed with little to no response from Emily. What we did receive was her stating that she first had medical issues, then other personal issues and a friends wedding that made her too busy to finish our photos. We received another "portion" of our photos on March 16th. Emily said she would upload the rest soon. A few more months went by. I called, texted and emailed with no response. At this point we honestly believed Emily had lost our photos. We hired an attorney from Gulf Coast Legal to send Emily an Intent to Sue Letter requesting our photos or our money back. Emily delivered our photos on the last day that she had to complete them before we filed a civil lawsuit against her. She then apologized and said that she had more personal things going on. I would like to say the lack of communication was the most frustrating. We almost never got replies to asking when we would get our pictures and when we did it was a promised date that came and went with no photos. We are the first ones to understand things come up but the fact that we got married in October and didn't receive our entire gallery until May 22 and only after it was a threat to sue is unacceptable. We still have not received our album but I am writing this review anyways because I have given up thinking we will receive the contracted album and I have made one off of Shutterfly that is the same quality I expect from Emily. Please don't let her cause you as much stress, worry and tears as she has caused us and book someone (anyone) else for your wedding.

It was our first time meeting Jola in person - and she made us feel very comfortable. She prepped us with some excellent suggestions ahead of time (including wardrobe suggestions, etc) - so we were prepared. Jola works with an excellent makeup artist too, who did my wife's makeup and deshined my bald head. :) Jola covers things you wouldn't think of unless you were a true professional, as Jola is. Jola is also a very nice person - and she made the process fun for us too. We highly recommend Jola Bremmer of Evoke Studio every chance we get!

They're so enthusiastic, creative, and open to all your photo op ideas. Even members of my family and wedding party kept complimenting how cool they both were and how well they worked together!! There was so much emotion captured in their photos--we could literally feel the happiness coming out of the photos or relive the struggle not to cry. It's also so valuable to have a photographer who makes you both feel comfortable being in LOVE in front of them. During the photoshoot of just my husband and me, Crist and Hannah made us feel like it was just the two of us, completely in the moment, while at the same time hyping up all of the amazing shots they were getting and making us feel like we were the best couple they've ever worked with. They added so much to our wedding team. We can't thank them enough for being so flexible and for sticking with us through the craziness of Covid-wedding planning.

On the day of the wedding, they showed up with such calm, positive energy--immediately making us feel comfortable and allowing us to just be ourselves. The photos? Absolutely stunning. Every emotion, every tear, every laugh--perfectly captured. Their work is truly art. Somehow, they managed to catch every tiny moment without ever being in the way. It felt like they were everywhere and nowhere at once--in the best possible way. Their eye for detail, light, and timing is unreal. What we appreciated most was how personal the experience felt. They didn't just show up and shoot--they saw us. Our personalities, our relationship, our people--and they documented it all so beautifully. Our gallery is full of both timeless portraits and candid shots that made us cry all over again. We've received so many compliments on our photos--everyone is obsessed. If you're thinking about booking WetheBlackwells, do it. They are beyond talented, incredibly professional, and such lovely humans to have by your side on your wedding day. We will treasure these photos forever.

It was obvious when we were taking the pictures that she knew exactly what light and direction worked best and she was quick because we were working with a tired 3 and 5 year old.

I like that she offers digital download because some still offer prints only. Definitely recommend x100!!
