GET TO KNOW YOUR PHOTOGRAPHERS
You’re looking for a photographer who captures you impeccably and helps you feel like your best self on your wedding day. The Anna Delores Photography studio is all that and then some, offering the wedding day support system you didn't know you needed!
Malaya, Beckie, and Alyssa are the lead photographers who manage your wedding day shot list like it's their job (because, well, it is). When you hire an Anna Delores photographer, you’re benefitting from our overarching commitment to prioritize authenticity, artistry, and a supportive, compassionate wedding day experience. Malaya, Beckie, and Alyssa share these values, and that’s part of why they’ve chosen to join forces with me (owner and founder Emily) at Anna Delores Photography! The best part? Their passion and sole focus is on shooting weddings (and they are really, REALLY good at it)!
“Malaya and Beckie exuded charm, warmth, and professionalism; their friendly and approachable demeanor put us at ease, allowing us to relax and be our authentic selves. Their attention to detail ensured that no moment went unnoticed, leaving us with an extensive collection of cherished memories. We wholeheartedly recommend Anna Delores.”

Their friendly and approachable demeanor put us at ease.
“We LOVED having Alyssa and Malaya shoot our wedding. They were so wonderful and professional. They took the time to make sure we had everything we wanted and made us feel like rock stars. They were great with our families, even our flower girl, who did not want to play nice when it came time for photos! We would not have wanted to spend the day with anyone else!”

The Process
Our values + mission
Every couple of ours feels confident, reassured, and cared for—and that doesn’t end at last call for your open bar.
From the anticipation of getting ready to the surreal moment of your first kiss as a married couple, the best photos are the ones that show how it felt to be there. This is at the core of every gallery we deliver; it’s the essence of our purpose.
You’re not going to find stiff, overly-posed portraits in our portfolio. We’ve got your back with gentle, easy-to-follow guidance so you’ll look your best and feel even better (plus, you’ll know what to do with your hands!).
Our aesthetic is polished, clean, and sophisticated. In other words, you won’t cringe when you look at your wedding album twenty years from now. Together, we’ll create photographs that shine over time.
We’re also not going to kidnap you for two hours of sunset portraits just as the reception is getting started. The best, shut-it-down kind of receptions are the ones where you’re on the dance floor all night long.

Albums
A fine art wedding album becomes a priceless family heirloom.
Our wedding albums are crafted by hand with love in every stitch. Printed on archival-quality photographic paper, the “flush mount” style means your album (and images) lay flat with tight creases and no gutter, so you don’t lose any part of the photos to cutting or standard press folding. Cover options include fine linen, genuine Italian leather, and vegan leather in a range of colors and textures. For a permanent coffee table fixture, it’s sure to take your breath away.
Engagement sessions
Posing practice, "save the date" cards, and more!
While we don’t require wedding clients to do an engagement session with us, we’re big fans of these shoots for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time to warm up to being photographed and understand how we’ll guide you. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits, which is why we’ve found that wedding day portraits sometimes turn out better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and can even include pets!). While they’re great for save the dates and adorning your wedding website, you can take engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
We’re happy to customize our standard packages to include or remove an engagement session—just let us know what you prefer!
WHO WILL BE THE LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER FOR OUR WEDDING DAY?
Your wedding will be captured by Anna Delores lead photographer Malaya, Alyssa, or Beckie. They are experienced lead photographers with a passion for both beautiful portraits and stunning details. They’re familiar with all the details and intricacies of a wedding day, and being part of Anna Delores means they can focus on being awesome photographers instead of worrying about running a business on their own; this way, we all get to be part of a team, excited about providing couples with a personal, encouraging, creative photography experience.
HOW ARE OUR WEDDING DAY IMAGES STORED AND PROTECTED?
We take our jobs as your wedding documentarians very seriously. Every every single image is recorded to TWO memory cards at the same time, so there’s an automatic backup on the spot! After the wedding, all memory cards are loaded onto a redundancy hard drive with an additional backup to ensure we’re not taking any risks with your priceless memories. Your edited image gallery, once delivered, is active for a minimum of three years, so you don’t have to worry about rushing to download your images, either! We want you to be able to access your photos for as long as you need.
HOW MANY IMAGES CAN WE EXPECT FROM OUR WEDDING DAY? WHAT IS THE TURNAROUND TIME ON THE FULL GALLERY?
For an 8-hour wedding day, we will deliver a minimum of 500-800 high-resolution images fully edited in our signature Anna Delores style. The final delivery of your finished collection will be 8-12 weeks after your wedding!
We're ready to reserve you for our wedding! What's next?
To book us for your wedding date, we require a 25% retainer along with a contract signed by both partners getting married. The booking process is online and super simple, and we accept all forms of payment (yes, even credit card!). Once we receive these two things from you, you’re officially on our calendar! We can’t wait to help you celebrate the start of your marriage!
