Anna Elisabeth Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Lexington, KY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

As a documentary-style photographer, I truly believe that the essence of life is captured in the unscripted, candid moments that often go unnoticed-- Each click of my camera is more than just a snapshot; it’s an opportunity to freeze time and preserve the love, joy, and uniqueness of your moments for generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
My newly minted husband and I were over the moon from the initial contact with Anna Elisabeth. She is an excellent listener with a superb sense of capturing our wishes in her photographs. We had an unusual experience in that we wanted to capture both of our faith traditions on different days and different geographical areas in the same state. Anna Elisabeth professionally and respectfully photographically savored these traditions beautifully with her photographic gift. She was present and her presence was professionally and discretely demonstrated. Her keen sense of recording precious moments was one of storybooks.. from having the pictures of the bride's mother place, her once veil (when the mother was married 57 years ago) to having the groom's mother putting a family heirloom bracelet on to capturing the special wink given by the groom when he first saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father. All these moments were special at the time and Anna Elisabeth captured them beautifully and discretely. Communication is very important to us, and Anna Elisabeth was professional, prompt and demonstrated honest integrity throughout the entire process. We are providing her a 5 star rating but she is off the charts and anyone who uses her will understand why she should be rated a 10!

We could not have asked for better photographers or more stunning photos! They captured everything throughout the busy weekend -- fun candid moments, amazing bridal party shots, and beautiful couple portraits, really making use of the venue to give us a variety of settings and capturing all the different atmospheres and feelings throughout the day and into the evening. On top of that, Amani was extremely easy to work with from the start of the planning process all the way through our wedding weekend. We had multiple events in different locations throughout the weekend, as well as large families and a big wedding. She handled all of these with professionalism and ease, giving us a custom experience that always felt well under control. We've gotten so many compliments on the sneak peek photos already, and we cannot wait to get the rest!

Portraits by Sean was truly a blessing from the Lord for our wedding! Sean was professional, proactive, and communicative from the start, and approached our day with such care, kindness, and intentionality—it was clear he sees his work as a calling, not just a job. He’s not just a photographer—he’s a storytelling artist. He beautifully captured the love, joy, and sacredness of what God was doing in our covenant, and how special it was to share that day with our loved ones. His photos bring those moments back so vividly. He was flexible, kind, and truly a joy to work with. The quality of his work is unmatched—truly high-caliber. We thank God for him and will cherish these memories forever. Highly, highly recommend!

I looooooved working with Lacie!!! When we had our engagement photos done, I was really nervous, as I feel awkward in front of a camera and my now husband and I had never had a photoshoot together before. Lacie made us feel so comfortable, and even created a playlist for me knowing I am a big fan of Taylor Swift. She completely erased our nerves! She did such a stunning job with our engagement and wedding photos, we have received so many compliments on them! She got so many beautiful candids too. Highly recommend hiring Lacie for your big day!

From our initial contact, Debra and her team were prompt, quick, and efficient in their communication, providing detailed responses to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, Debra and her fiancé Jeremy were professional, unobtrusive, and captured the most beautiful, detailed shots that we will treasure forever. Despite not seeing them constantly throughout the reception, they managed to get so many stunning photos that we didn't even know were being taken - we truly felt like we could just enjoy the moment without having to "perform" for the camera. The quality of their work is simply outstanding, and we couldn't be happier with the value they provided.

I’m thrilled to meet you and start creating a connection! I began photographing weddings four years ago and quickly realized the most meaningful moments are unscripted—raw, emotional, and unforgettable. Capturing these authentic experiences is my passion. With a background as an outdoor educator and a wilderness therapist, I bring a unique perspective and skill set to wedding photography. Whether guiding backpacking trips or earning a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, each chapter of my life has shaped my ability to support couples with humor, care, and creativity. Let’s capture your day exactly as it unfolds!

I chose Foxtail to take our family pictures, our first picture with our new baby. These were supposed to be very special photos that I was to cherish forever. Before even speaking over the phone, or getting pricing, I chose her because I LOVED her editing style. I knew she was the one. However after speaking to her over the phone my choice was 100000% solidified. So friendly, informative, flexible, creative, and open-minded. She did not bat an eye or show frustration towards me when I changed our shoot location multiple times. Our session was absolutely perfect. She makes you so comfortable in front of the camera & will even fix your hair !! and when we received our gallery, I was blown away by the quality of her work and just how beautiful our photos turned out. I highly recommend Foxtail Photography to anyone looking for photos that will capture every moment, memory, and emotion. You will not be disappointed and I promise they are worth every single penny
