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.

    "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.

    Most Amazing Photographer You'll Find!

    Anna and Jules were the most perfect photographers for our wedding day. If I could give them 1,000 stars, I would! From the moment we first spoke, they were prompt, easy to work with, and incredibly friendly, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly amazing and unmatched - they captured the true beauty and intimacy of our wedding, never getting in the way but always there to document every important moment. Anna and Jules made me feel special at every turn, and I can't imagine having anyone else photograph us that day. Anna also photographed our engagement pictures so we knew we were in good hands from the start. She was incredibly helpful with planning our wedding day and bringing our vision for our wedding pictures to life. We will definitely be using them again for our other big life moments, and I can't recommend them enough to any couple looking for wedding photographers they can trust completely.

    So thankful!

    I can't say enough thank you to Anna for the AMAZING wedding pictures we have received. As I was scrolling down the pictures, I had tears in my eyes because they just reminded me how beautiful our wedding day was. Anna did such a wonderful job capturing all the precious moments and telling a story through her camera. I have received so many compliments for the photos! During the day of the wedding, my husband and I both felt very very comfortable working with Anna. We thought that we would be nervous in front of the cameras, but it turned out that most of the time we hardly even noticed them! And when we were posing, Anna made it so easy that we were just laughing the whole time. We had so much fun thanks to Anna! Being a bride is overwhelming and I definitely missed a lot of fun, warm moments. Thank you, Anna, for documenting our memory perfectly!

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.
