Anita Martin Photography

Anita is so gifted her work is phenomenal! We just had our engagement photos done by her and wow she captured everything so beautifully I was stunned by how the photos turned out! I can’t wait for her to do our wedding day!
If your looking for an exceptional photographer she will travel anywhere pretty much with a travel fee of course and she is sooooo worth every penny spent.
She does family and newborn photos and once we get married and have our next chapter of life I know who to call!
Thanks Anita!

I think this is the only time I’ve ever left a second review for someone, but I had to for Anita. You can read my first post to hear why she’s so great. Now she’s shot our engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity photos, and newborn photos. She’s still great! We’re moving to Seattle next year and are trying to figure out how to get Anita up there for our next child’s photos (seriously).

This review is long overdue! I found Anita through a friend of mine. Anita had shot her wedding, and her pictures were flawless. I knew in my heart that I had to have Anita for our wedding. Every interaction I had with Anita was very pleasurable from the get-​go. She’s easy to communicate with and her work speaks for itself. On our wedding day was the first time I met Anita in person, she’s a sweetheart! Once the wedding got going I barely noticed she was there, besides when she needed to give us some direction for family photos and Bridal party photos. She’s quick and efficient with her work and shoots. Very organized. I was impressed how fast we got through family and bridal party photos. And just because she’s fast, doesn’t mean the photos lack. Our wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous. They are everything and more than I could have asked for. All my friends and family were also so impressed on how the photos turned out. Everyone complimented multiple times on «Your wedding pictures are the best/​prettiest I’ve ever seen!» Anita is one talented photographer! I can’t recommend her enough! Save your extra money and invest in Anita! Your pictures are priceless and something that will last forever. She’s worth it! Thank you Anita for your time and talent! We will love our photos forever!

We’ve used Anita for anniversary, maternity and family photos over the past few years. Every time I see her and get our photos back, I remember why I love her so much. She is so talented and can truly handle any situation, from bad lighting to a cranky baby, and she is so easy to get along with that it takes the awkwardness of getting your photo taken completely out of it!
I love Anita and would highly recommend her to anyone I know!

Anita was amazing. Luckily our photographer friend recommended Anita as one of our photographers. Anita took our engagement photos, wedding and our reception photos and I can say without question that her images have rendered me speechless! They are breathtaking. To be honest, I’ve never felt more beautiful than I do in the pictures she took! She captured the moment, really every moment that I’ll want to look back on for years to come! There are a few photos that she captured of my parents during the ceremony that warm me from the inside out and know they’ll be some of my favorites of them for the rest of my life! She even got one of my Dad tearing up… that is amazing! She was so professional I never noticed her taking the pictures. There was a dance off at the end of my party and I thought later ohh I wish we’d gotten pictures of boys sliding across the dance floor but I thought Anita had already left. When I got my pictures the picture was there! And I LOVE it! I couldn’t be happier that we found Anita and would highly recommend her!

Anita is an incredibly talented photographer, yet so down to earth. She photographed our engagement and wedding and in both sessions allowed and encouraged us to just have fun and be ourselves. The results were amazing and the realness of our smiles and laughs is very noticeable in the photos, almost none of them look «posed.» I would hire her again in a heartbeat for any photo needs.

Anita was the most amazing photographer! She was so fun to work with and really listened to what we wanted. My husband and I are both a little camera shy and don’t love being the center of attention. Anita made us feel so comfortable and relaxed that we were able to loosen up and almost forget that we were being photographed! We could not be happier with the finished products! Every picture was so natural and artistically beautiful. Also, several of our guests mentioned to me how friendly she and her coworker were to everyone. Not only was her work amazing, but she was one of the nicest, most genuine person to work with! If I could only pick one thing from our wedding to recommend to others, it would be her!

Anita was the lead photographer for my daughter’s wedding last year. She was timely, professional and easy to work with. She was very flexible and open to ideas. She got every type of picture but was never in the way. Her romantic, formal and ceremony pictures were spot on. She captured every moment so well. She is the best.

These five stars are long overdue, as Anita did our engagement photos in January 2013 and our wedding in June 2014. I wish I could give 10 stars. I cannot emphasize this enough: she is amazing!
Having a great photographer was one of my top priorities for our wedding, and as my husband and I were living on the east coast at the time, we really needed someone who was quick to respond by email/​phone. Anita delivered in every aspect: she answered all of our questions quickly, put together a custom package that met our needs and our budget, and was warm, friendly, and easy to work with.
Beyond the great customer service she provides, the photos Anita delivered are incredible. Not only did they turn out beautifully, but she truly captured every important moment and special detail. I am so, so glad we were able to work with her!

Anita did our engagement photos at Land’s End in San Francisco. Really appreciated her positive enthusiasm and artistic eye. As a guy who was looking to book an outdoor photoshoot, I really needed someone to bring an artistic eye and also be adaptable to the various scenes. Anita did a great job suggesting outfits and also helping us find great backdrops when we arrived. The photos came out great, and everyone agreed that they were well done. Throughout the process she was very professional and accommodating.
I’ve since referred her to a number of my friends who are also looking for family portraits and professional photos. I’d highly recommend her.

One of the most important aspects of wedding planning to me was finding a fabulous photographer who could capture the memories, emotions, and fun of our wedding day. I am so happy that we chose Anita to shoot our wedding because she was able to do exactly that!
We first worked with Anita during our engagement session in Napa and quickly learned how easy she was to work with. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but she made sure that we were having fun, feeling comfortable, and not feeling awkward. She gave us as much posing directions as we wanted (which for us, was sort of a lot), but if you are someone who is more comfortable striking a pose of your own, Anita is certainly fine with that too! Our photos turned out great and we had a nice mix of photo-​journalistic type images as well as the posed ones that grandparents love so much.
On the day of our wedding, Anita and her assistant managed to capture all the important moments and details of the day without being intrusive or noticeable. While going through our gallery, I noticed so many pictures that I didn’t even know were being taken because Anita made a point to blend in with what was going on. She again gave us and our bridal party as much direction as we wanted, but also let us be silly and creative with our posing and requests. She had us pose certain ways or do certain things that may have felt weird at the time, but ultimately turned out great in the pictures! She was timely, friendly, professional, and fun during the entire wedding day, and everyone who interacted with her had only good things to say.
I most definitely recommend Anita to anyone looking for a talented photographer with great customer service skills :)

Anita shot my sister’s engagement and wedding photos, and she couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality of Anita’s work speaks for itself, and this is truly a case where a picture speaks a thousand words – so I’ll let her photographs on her website speak for themselves.
I’ll choose to speak to Anita and her assistant’s professionalism and congeniality. It was a pleasure having them there on the wedding day. Even though we were behind schedule (we’re girls – I’m sure it wasn’t the first time it had happened to them!), they just went with the flow. They didn’t make us feel rushed or stress about the time – they just started snapping shots of the dress, the bridesmaids getting ready, etc. I felt like there was a good mix of formal and fun group shots of the wedding party and the couple, and unobtrusive photojournalism-​esque shots during the reception.
Anita was sweet and funny. She shared personal tips ranging from make-​up setting spray, to the «bump it». She suggested simple adjustments to my sister’s poses in order to create a slimmer silhouette (what bride wouldn’t love that?!). And even though she had never personally shot a funny composite shot the groom had seen on Pinterest, it didn’t stop her from literally laying flat on her belly on the pavement in a dress to make it happen!
Their engagement photos were fantastic. They were shot in Napa, and she even got my somewhat serious brother-​in-​law to loosen up and act a bit silly, which resulted in some wonderful shots. I heard so many people complimenting the engagement photo book they used as their guest book, with several people commenting that the pictures look like they’re from a magazine.
I recommend Anita without any reservation.

Anita is not just any photographer she is an artist! The pictures she took of our family are absolutly beautiful. It was an absolutly miserably cold raining day and you would never know it! She was able to capture special moments and smiles that I never would have imagined. I cant imagine her not taking our family pictures!

Anita is not just someone with a great camera– she is an artist with the talent and vision for photography. My fiancé and I got our engagement pictures taken in Davis, CA in a location where Anita had not taken pictures before. She quickly jumped into the environment and directed us in locations and poses. We had never had professional pictures taken of us before so we were expecting the experience to be awkward, however Anita’s bubbly personality and positive attitude made the shoot so much fun and carefree. The pictures came out STUNNING (even with our French Bulldog who had a bad attitude that day!). The angles, light, attention to detail– all spectacular.
We highly recommend Anita Martin Photography and will be using her services again.

Anita did AMAZING! Not only did she capture every moment of our special day, but really listened to what I was envisioning. The photos were above and beyond our expectations! I knew one of the most important aspects in a wedding is the photographer and I am SO happy I chose Anita! Thanks again for everything!!!
