hi, i'm annalee.


My work is focused on intentional composition, emotion, and vibrant + organic colors. With a documentary style, I believe in the art of noticing — the tears rolling down your eyes during your ceremony, the way that you hold each others' hands, the laughter that you share in the in-between moment right before your ceremony.


I want you to be able to look back on your photos and remember your day how it happened and how it felt. I promise to provide you with an exceptional wedding photo experience throughout the whole process. Just be yourself, and together we will create beautiful images of the best day ever.

"SHE CAPTURED EVERY EMOTION AND MOMENT WE EXPERIENCED PERFECTLY"


Annalee is an absolute angel with amazing photography skills! We booked her for our courthouse wedding in SF and she was very easy to work with, had great communication skills! We couldn't be more happy with our pictures! Seeing all the pictures definitely made me relive our wedding day! If you are looking for a photographer look no more Annalee is amazing at what she does! A true artist!

how i shoot intimate weddings

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life and you deserve to look back on your photos and remember how the day felt.


Here are some of what you can expect when we work together:

  • Photojournalism. I have a documentary approach, putting great care into photographing the day as it unfolds with emotion-led imagery. This, balanced with editorial compositions (such as your wedding portraits), creates an artful and dynamic gallery.
  • True-to-color tones. My editing style is natural and timeless. I've spent years perfecting my colors, both in camera and in post, to look beautiful and authentic.
  • Film. Film brings a tactile, cinematic quality that digital alone can’t replicate. As a hybrid photographer, I document the day on both medium format and 35mm film alongside digital, balancing artistry with precision to create imagery that feels both elevated and real.
  • A stress-free experience. I am 100% here for you throughout the process, before, during, and after your wedding day as both your photographer and a friend.

"SHE WAS KIND, GENEROUS, AND INCREDIBLY THOUGHTFUL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS."


We could not have asked for a better photographer than Annalee! She captured our elopement with absolute perfection. She has an incredible eye for photos and composition—every shot felt intentional, artistic, and beautifully framed. The final photos are beyond stunning—I look at them every single day and tear up. She truly captured the magic of our perfect day.


She is insanely talented, professional, and just an all-around wonderful person to work with. Thank you, Annalee—we love you!

next steps

Let's chat! Please feel free to schedule a meeting at your earliest convenience. I can't wait to talk and learn more about you two and your wedding day vision and answer any questions that you may have.


If none of these dates work, please feel free to email me at annalee@annalee.photo and we will find a time that does!

When you are ready to make it official, I will send you a custom proposal based on your wedding day plans. With a signed contract and a 50% retainer, your wedding date is officially reserved!


If you are interested in taking photos in different areas after your ceremony, we can start brainstorming about location ideas! I wrote a 20-page Bay Area Location Guide with a lot of suggestions around the area, and am also happy to brainstorm personal ideas and location scout for you.


Throughout your intimate wedding planning process, I am completely available to you as both a wedding professional and a friend.

"LET ME JUST SAY – HIRE HER, DO IT, YOU WON'T REGRET IT ONE SECOND."


I can’t give her enough praise for her work, she really listens to what you’re looking for, what the vibe is, and has such a lovely and warm demeanor that it feels like you’re working together to create your dream vision of how you want these photos to turn out. And my gosh, they turned out fantastic, it was everything and more I could’ve asked for.
