ABOUT ANNEMARIE
Unwavering Authenticity
Consistently Beautiful Work
I hold myself to a high standard. Both in the images I create and the experience I provide.
That means working thoughtfully with couples, families, and creative partners, and approaching each celebration with attentiveness, professionalism, and a respect for what makes it unique.
What you can expect:
Delivering Beautiful Images Is My Baseline
Wedding days, with their inevitable curveballs, are my team’s time to shine. As a former Nordstrom employee, I know that how you solve a problem means everything. And finding ways to surprise and delight are what takes an experience from good to above and beyond.
Exceptional Service
Steadfast Professionalism
Professionalism shows up in how I communicate, how I work with others, and how I take responsibility for my role throughout the day. I’m direct, dependable, and respectful of the many people involved, coordinating seamlessly and stepping in or out as needed.
Respect for Every Story
Everyone who matters to you deserves to feel recognized and respected. That's why I approach each wedding with awareness of cultural context, family relationships and sensitive dynamics. And why I pay attention to where discretion matters most and who needs additional consideration.
“What surprised me most about working with Annemarie was that she never changed—she was consistently warm, genuinely kind, and completely down-to-earth from our engagement session all the way through the wedding day. Her work was consistently beautiful, and I appreciated how real, steady, and reliable she was throughout the entire process.”
KRISTIN & LEE
Before photographing a single wedding, I trained under a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, then spent a year assisting some of DC's top wedding photographers. But my foundation in visual storytelling began much earlier.
Growing up as the daughter of an art professor, I spent my formative years in museums and university art departments, absorbing lessons about composition, light, and how imagery conveys emotion. That dual foundation still shapes my approach: understanding when to observe rather than direct, reading a room's emotional undercurrents, and recognizing the interplay of light and moment that elevates documentation to art.
Today, after more than 150 weddings across DC, Maryland, and Virginia, I know that the strongest photographs come from supporting the experience first. This means anticipating what matters, maintaining composure when the day shifts unexpectedly, and staying calm so you can remain present.
When I'm not photographing weddings, I'm likely playing tennis, walking while absorbed in an audiobook, or wandering DC studying the interplay of light, composition, and fleeting emotion that defines compelling imagery.
