Annie Ray can make anybody look cool…read more Her "photobooth" photography style is edgy and fun, in no small part because of her incredibly likeable personality and the way she eggs on her subjects like some kind of totally cliche French photographer ("Give me more! Give me more!"). Yet her subjects catch her enthusiasm and channel their inner goofball/badass/child/whatever, striking ridiculous poses, making faces they would never otherwise make in public, even taping gross, who-knows-where-this-has-been fake moustaches under their noses to help them get into character. Yet somehow, magically, everyone looks hip and cool and funky and lively in the end product. Or maybe everyone looks totally dorky and ridiculous, but it doesn't matter, because all your friends look that way in their shots, too. Annie Ray is some kind of photographic genius. Everybody wants some of what she's got. Fortunately, she's happy to share. P.S. The photo posted above is NOT one of Annie Ray's shots. It's a shot I took of Annie Ray while obnoxiously exclaiming, "Give me more!" --- EDIT, January 2012: The photo I posted with this listing was removed by Yelp because it allegedly violated the Content Guidelines. When I inquired as to how it violated the Content Guidelines, I was told that I was supposed to "avoid uploading close-ups of other people." Uh...every single photo for this listing includes a close-up of other people. Yelp, if you're going to remove my content from your site - which, by the way, I have donated to you for free and you have made money from - it might be nice if you gave me the honor of providing me with a reasonable explanation for why it was removed. Just a suggestion.

Attention closet models! Annie Ray is your photog!…read more Some people may ask "Why do all these folks feel the need to act a fool in front of cameras?? I don't get that behavior." Well, partially it's to have a physical memory of the event and the friends we love. But mostly it's cause an Annie Ray photo shoot is like a ride at Six Flags. It's a "weeeeeee" kinda fun where you can be as adventurous and loud and silly as you dare. When the ride is over, most folks get right back in line again. And just like a rollercoaster ride, you can end up with a crazy pic of your adventure. But Annie Ray specifically as a photographer is a joy. She's ebullient, effervescent, energetic, and encouraging which is great when you are working with stoic camera shy boys like my hubby and bff. And she makes ME look good even tho I normally take horrible pictures. I can never get my face to act right (in fact, no telling how many of the 20 or so that she takes she pitches to only post a few on her site....). And she remembers people. Having worked many a Yelp party and working with countless faces, I am amazed that she remembers my name and when she met hubby last event, she was so excited and demanded we take more pictures of just us, encouraging him "Randy love Keri! Loooove her!"...which of course hubby took to mean "Stick your tongue in her ear!!". I always look forward to an Annie Ray photobooth. She is an Annie Ray of Sunshine!

I couldn't be happier with deciding to hire Justin for my proposal photography. He was quick and…read moreprofessional in setting up the details, and kept clear communication with me in the planning stages. I think one of the most undervalued aspects of his proposal service is his advice/suggestions on how, when, and where a great proposal in Austin can happen. He even scouted out different places for me to check the conditions! After comparing his services and prices against other proposal photographers in Austin, he definitely had the best bang for your buck. The photoshoot itself was great. Justin was waiting for us and captured the special moment, and the mini photo-shoot after the proposal turned out really well! What blew me away was that he offered to drive to a completely different location, 15 minutes away, to continue our "mini-photoshoot" at another scenic spot! He was so flexible and willing to go the extra mile for us...all without increasing the price! Plus, Justin is just a friendly person, so it was great getting to know him and work with him. I would highly recommend Max Photography to anyone looking for proposal, engagement or wedding photographers! Thanks again, Justin!

The photos we received from Justin are gorgeous to say the least - he is extremely talented with lighting and framing! If we wanted a picture with a specific group of people at our reception, Justin did not hesitate to capture the moment. He was very easy to communicate via email before our reception and made sure to get all the details he needed before our big day. Justin was able to capture the complete vibe of our reception and we are so grateful! Cannot recommend him enough!

I can't say enough great things about Georges! I was connected with him through one of my best…read morefriends several years ago to get updated head shots for my business. My friend is one of Georges best friends as well and she's been getting her head shots and personal photos done by Georges for a very long time. I was super nervous when I first started to take pics with Georges, especially since my friend and him had so much chemistry, were having all this fun and her pictures were rocking and rolling and looking amazing and beautiful. Georges was so cool, he helped me chill out and gave me great tips that would really make the photos come out the best they possibly could. It ended up being a really fun day and, of course, my pics came out great! I get an insane amount of compliments and rave reviews of my head shot and I feel like the only reason the picture looks so great is because of Georges. Legitimately, it's just an awesome photo and job done by him. I've had 2 or 3 different sets of head shots done by him, they're all incredible and I will never have anyone else do my pictures, ever again. We then hired Georges for our office grand opening to take photos of the event and also have a photo booth section, which he managed both tasks, beautifully. The event photos came out AAAAAAMAZING!! He did SUCH a great job capturing a pretty cool night for us! I think Georges is the best photographer in Austin and probably even the world! I seriously love him and the work he does!!!!!

At the beginning when I was deciding between photographers for my wedding, she was happy to hop on the phone with me, and it was clear that our wedding would be in amazing hands.

We unfortunately had to cancel our wedding due to Coronavirus / COVID-19 mandatory closures, and Lisa was so easy to work with, even though we didn't want to reschedule our wedding right away (which not all vendors were willing to work with us).
