About Anna Beth Smith

Anna Beth Smith

Owner/Photographer

For more than a decade, I’ve photographed weddings throughout Northern Michigan and beyond with a documentary approach and an editorial eye. I love beautiful design, but I’m most drawn to the people, relationships, and unscripted moments that make your wedding uniquely yours. My goal is to create timeless photographs that let you stay fully present on your wedding day and become even more meaningful in the years to come.

What sets my work apart is the way I see a wedding. Yes, I care deeply about beautiful portraits and thoughtful design, but I'm just as focused on the people who make your day what it is. The friends who traveled across the country, the grandparents on the dance floor, the hugs, the laughter, and the moments you didn't even realize were happening. My goal is to create photographs that not only reflect how your wedding looked, but remind you exactly how it felt for years to come.

    Anna is fantastic!

    We worked with Anna for our wedding and I can’t recommend her enough! She captured all the big and small moments we didn’t want to forget. Her photos are filled with emotion and we will cherish them forever!

    Shes worth it!

    Working with Anna Beth Smith was a breath of fresh air from start to finish. She communicated with us in a straightforward way that made planning feel easy, and on our wedding day she moved through our family and friends with such grace that most people barely noticed her capturing the moment. Her photos are sharp and intentional, with an upscale quality that shows how much thought she puts into each shot. What really stood out was her genuine personality paired with professionalism—she felt like part of our celebration, not just someone behind the camera. We got our photos back before promised and couldn't believe how clean and polished they looked. Anna Beth delivered exactly what she promised and then some, and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who cares about their couples as much as their craft.

    Highly recommend!

    Anna is seriously THE BEST! She listens to your vision and ideas, makes thoughtful suggestions to help everything come together, and provides a calming voice and presence throughout all the craziness of wedding planning and during wedding day. Our wedding photos are absolutely amazing, and I am so grateful to have worked with her!

    "Our wedding photos 'tell a story' of our day."

    Anna moved throughout our wedding in the most stealthy way possible. She was there at all of the right moments, ready to capture it's essence. Jenna and I loved how our wedding photos 'tell a story' of our day. From the classy 'must have' shots to the ones that capture the emotional elements of such a special day. We also appreciated Anna's communication. She contacted us early on and had great systems for keeping us in the loop.

    Amazing!!

    Anna was a dream to work with. She was so receptive to my desires for lots of candids, and delivered stunning photos that we love so much. She gave so much care and attention to the day, and lots of people have commented on how lovely she was. We're so glad we chose her.

I would describe my work as authentic, clean, and timeless. I love film-inspired, natural colors that stand the test of time. At the core, I am a storyteller. My photography is rooted in a documentary style with some editorial influences.
I do! Film has become a meaningful part of my creative process, and I’ll often bring a few rolls with me to weddings when it feels right for the light, the moment, or the story unfolding. It isn’t something I guarantee or offer as an add-on just yet, but when I do shoot it, you can expect those images to blend beautifully with your digital gallery—timeless, nostalgic, and full of character.
Full wedding galleries are available for viewing four to six weeks after the event.
While every wedding is different, I typically provide a minimum of 50 images per hour.
I do! To make the process as seamless as possible, a retainer is required at booking, with the remaining balance divided into two additional payments. The final payment is due prior to your wedding date.
That feeling is more common than you might think, and you are not alone in it. Most of my couples share some uncertainty about being in front of the camera. Guiding you gently and helping you feel at ease is a core part of my work. I will offer simple direction when needed and create space for you to relax into the experience. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, confident, and fully present so your images reflect what is real between you, not what feels forced.
