Because you’re not TRADITIONAL

Your wedding—and your photos—should feel like you.

Wild. Unfiltered. Real.

I don’t stage moments; I hold space for them.

The sand in your toes. The rain in your hair. The hands that zip you up and the ones that hold you steady.

I’m there in the quiet and the chaos, capturing love as it unfolds—messy, magical, and completely, unapologetically yours.

HEY, I’m Aniya..
YOUR PHOTO Bff

I’m Aniya (Ah-Knee-Ya) — mom of four, award-winning photographer, professional people watcher..

and your ultimate hype girl.

Here’s the thing: I don’t do fake.

No stiff poses, no “look lovingly into the horizon,” and no forced smiles.

I photograph the real stuff.

The belly laughs, the messy tears, the wild dance floor antics, the moments in-between that tell the truth of your wedding day. After 10+ years photographing weddings, I’ve learned the magic always lives in the unfiltered, blink-and-you-miss-it moments.

My superpower? I connect. I see people. Whether it’s a wedding, or family hugs and kids tears (or meltdowns), or a woman rediscovering her badass self — I photograph the truth. The funny, the tender, the chaotic, the intimate.

So if you’re into keeping it real, and having your story told with honesty (and a healthy dose of fun), we’re going to get along just fine.
