ANNA KARDOS PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWS
Anna is THE best in the business, without question!! I don’t even know where to begin with what an amazing photographer she is, and what an absolute joy she is to work with. I’ll be honest – I followed Anna for many years on Instagram and was always in awe of her talent. The second that we secured a date, I reached out to secure Anna because I had always wanted her to be our photographer. Anna was a professional from the beginning and gave great tips on how to style and prepare for our engagement and wedding photos. She is friendly, warm, calming, and clearly an expert in what she does. You can see the joy she has for her profession when you are out taking photos with her, as she gets so excited whenever she gets a great shot! She is an all-around pleasure to be around, worked GREAT with all of our other vendors, and most of all, took the most stunning photos of our wedding! She has the ability to not only capture beautiful scenes, but the emotion in those scenes as well. My mom cried when looking through our wedding album because Anna memorialized so many of our special moments. Anna should always be your choice when looking for a photographer; I would recommend her a thousand times over!
I have had the honor of working alongside Anna as a fellow vendor for several weddings this year, and I can whole-heartedly say that you absolutely NEED to book her for your wedding photography! She is so sweet and personable, and is a calming presence when things can get hectic on a wedding day. And, Anna's work speaks for itself- her light-filled, airy images are so lovely, and her attention to detail is unmatched! She captures each moment so authentically, and gives her couples beautiful images to treasure for a lifetime, as well as an amazing experience working with her! HIGHLY recommend!!
Anna did an incredible job during our proposal! I would recommend her to anyone in the Richmond area who is looking for an amazing photographer to capture the emotion of a wonderful evening. We have gotten nothing but amazing feedback from our friends and family. We are thrilled to have these pictures for the rest of our lives! Thank you Anna Kardos!

FOCUS ON JOY PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWS
Jessica was simply amazing. Like many couples, we had to postpone twice because of covid, but Jess was so flexible and attentive to all of our needs, wants, and questions. I loved how organized she was and how she led pictures on the day of the wedding so smoothly and efficiently. Her prices are MORE than fair for the incredible quality of service. We are seriously so grateful for her kindness and professionalism throughout our whole wedding process and cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you Jess!!!
Jess is amazing. She worked with and calmed my nerves to help setup the perfect proposal for my now fiancée. She was professional, patient, flexible, timely and, above all else, talented. She delivered above and beyond what I expected. She truly helped make the proposal special for my fiancée. I would recommend her services to anyone!
I can’t recommend her enough! In both our maternity and newborn photo shoots, Jess’ energy was amazing. She made our photo shoots comfortable and fun. The pictures captured my family perfectly and they are absolutely wonderful. It’s so hard to pick our favorites!

NICKI METCALF PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWS
Nicki was very easy to communicate with in regards to scheduling our maternity shoot. Her pricing is affordable and we got an hour long session. Nicki is very encouraging, cheerful and upbeat. She coaches well to get different poses. Nicki delivered high quality photos in a matter of days after the shoot. We’re very pleased with our experience and would schedule with Nicki again in the future. Highly recommend!
Nicki is an absolute gem! She was an absolute joy to have with us on our wedding day. She was great and making sure that we were 100% comfortable with her so we could really be ourselves and get great candid shots. When it came to our large families and formal photos, she was phenomenal at taking charge and making sure every single person in the shot looked great. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further, this is your girl!!!
I'm so happy to have worked with Nicki for our wedding. She's simply amazing, humble, passionate, and very professional. Our session was booked for 3 hours but she went well over that. She was also very flexible with traveling to 2 locations and made every thing work smoothly. I can't say enough things about her. She truly one of the best photographers out there!
