The Best Photojournalistic Wedding Photographers in Youngstown, OH

What started as a spontaneous purchase in 2019—a $50 camera from eBay—turned into a dream I now get to live every day. Not long after picking up that camera, I won an award, showed work in galleries, and was published. With years of encouragement from others, I eventually made the leap to full-time photography—and I’ve never looked back. Weddings are where everything I love about photography comes together. I get to witness and capture the best moments from every angle—those quick glances, bursts of laughter, and quiet emotions that pass in a heartbeat.



I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Hello everyone! I'm Anna Sandmeier. I started my photography business because of my passion for capturing the moments around us. And I get to meet so many new, awesome people, I probably would have never met! I hope with every picture I can share JOY with you.

Hey I’m Anna Craig - an intimate wedding and elopement photographer that specializes in capturing the authentic, honest, quiet moments of love stories. I’m a photographer for the untraditional couples, those who want a different kind of experience, those who value a new friendship vs just another vendor. I tend to think outside the box and things might get a little funky, so make sure you’re down for the ride. My work tends to come from an inspiration of film, in the forms of vintage vogue magazines, misty days where you can just barely feel like the rain on your skin, art museums, and a night drive. Can’t even wait to meet you
