Reviews of Annabelle Agnew Photography (Photo Studio)

Grace John

We were thrilled and grateful to work with Annabelle as our wedding photographer in 2020. Her work is beautiful and made for a precious keepsake of our wedding day. Annabelle is easy to work with and worked flexibly with our guests and last minute changes in schedule and venue (COVID!). Especially for the two of us, we appreciated how at ease she had us feel during portraits. Annabelle is professional, listens to get to know you and what you’re looking for, and captures the little moments (you might not think of in advance to request) to remember your day by!

We feel incredibly lucky to have had these moments, and to have them represented in such artful and evocative ways. Our “mother-son photo-shoot” reminds me of the best of times - of attachment, humour and shared affection over the years. Annabelle chose a site that turned out to be perfect for the one-hour session. She led us lightly into formal poses, and her ease allowed for our informal antics. Thank you so much Annabelle!

I can't say enough about how great the experience was with Annabelle. I have hired her twice for family portraits a new yearly tradition thanks to her beautiful photos ! She knows how to make people truly comfortable while also catching a moment and personality. She is flexible with young kids and managing multiple family members, puts effort into location scouting and delivers the final product in a timely manner.

My husband and I had the pleasure of Annabelle taking photos of us for both our engagement and our wedding, and the experience couldn’t have been more positive! Annabelle was extremely receptive to our suggestions and concerns from the get-go, and made sure that she wasn’t making us uncomfortable. For our engagement celebration, she chose a stunning backdrop on the banks of the Lachine Canal in Montreal, and arranged the photo session to coincide with a fabulous sunset and an equally stunning moonrise. For the wedding day itself, Annabelle and her assistant Alex were entirely professional and unobtrusive, all the while managing to capture the proceedings perfectly. They split their time between the bride and groom for the “pre-wedding” photos, and then for the rest of the day (and most of the night) they were on hand to make sure nothing was missed! Annabelle made sure she adhered to our schedule, and struck a perfect balance between the classic posed photos and the more spontaneous natural shots. As with all couples, we were extremely excited to see the photos when the big day had passed, and Annabelle provided us with several “teaser” sets while she worked on getting everything finished. We cannot speak highly enough of the work done by Annabelle and Alex. We are thrilled with our photos, and would like to say a big “thank you” to them both for all their hard work!

Annabelle’s photography allows for the soul to shine through, so naturally and easily with her eye for light and telling a story in a moment, not forcing or changing what is. The mood she creates is authentic and flows so easily. I was so happy to collaborate with her and I adore the photos she captured of my son and I - she was an absolute delight to work with. She captured this time in our lives, with such an ease and grace that can be seen in the photos. Thank you, Annabelle!

Annabelle photographed our smaller COVID wedding in August and we could not have been happier with the photos! She truly captured the essence of the day and every time I look at photos it brings me right back to the joy we all felt that day. We are not people that typically enjoy being photographed or having photos of ourselves around the house but Annabelle made our awkward selves feel so at ease and the photos are a true reflection of our personalities, these photos will be the first ones of us going up in our house! We had originally hired Annabelle to shoot our June wedding that was booked pre pandemic, she was amazing to work with through the uncertainty and really made us feel at ease. I would not hesitate to work with Annabelle again for any future moments we want captured!

We did a photo shoot in prime fall with Annabelle and it was really great! We felt very comfortable with her, she’s super friendly and professional at the same time. We were surprised to see how fast we got some sample of the photo shoot and the quality is exceptional. We’re extremely happy with the results, we have already planned to book another appointment for a wedding photo shoot this upcoming summer. I would recommend Annabelle to anyone!

Writing a review of having Annabelle photograph our wedding (and another portrait sitting!) is very hard because there were so many things about her that I would like to talk about but there isn't enough room so I will just say that she is THE BEST and you will not regret one moment of it!

I contacted Annabelle Agnew to shoot a professional portrait and capture in situation shots of my fine art studio. While I had originally just needed photos for my website, I ended up getting so much more. Annabelle proved to be intuitive and creative in her approach. She made me feel so comfortable and made me feel like I was perfect 'as-is' in the natural light of the day. The photos ended up reflecting back to me a version of myself I didn't even know existed. It was an empowering experience. The process was easy and fun.... I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer to capture a memorable experience or event.

Annabelle is a true professional when it comes to capturing beautiful photos! We liked that her style was more natural and fun and that we never once felt 'posed'. She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and we ended up having such a great time! Leading up to our photoshoot, she was always available to answer any questions and made it so easy when we had to reschedule not once, but twice thanks to Covid ruining our original wedding plans haha! The photos turned out amazing and we will definitely be using her services again in the future :)!

The final products were stunning!! She honestly is a true professional; organized and very easy to communicate with. Thank you Annabelle for the amazing memories!!!

(Translated) I had been looking for a very long time for a photographer who captured the more subtle moments, who had something timeless, but modern. We found him !! We couldn't wait! Our wedding was scheduled for September, but with the uncertainty of containment, we had to cancel. Getting used to the idea, announcing it to families and communicating with all our suppliers was not easy. Annabelle's reaction and empathy confirmed that we had made the right choice. To commemorate our day, she offers us a photo shoot, suggests neighborhoods and a look & feel. She walks here and there, calmly, making us easily comfortable. The result is perfect, the light, the colors and the moments. (Original) Je cherchais depuis très longtemps un photographe qui captait les moments plus subtils, qui avait quelque chose de timeless, mais moderne. On l’a trouvé!!On avait tellement hâte!Notre mariage était prévu en septembre, mais avec l’incertitude du confinement, on a dû annuler. Se faire à l’idée, l’annoncer aux familles et communiquer avec tous nos fournisseurs n’a pas été facile. La réaction et l’empathie d’Annabelle a confirmé que nous avions fait le bon choix. Pour commémorer notre journée, elle nous propose une séance photo, nous suggère des quartiers et un look & feel. Elle se promène ici et là, calmement, nous rend facilement confortables. Le résultat est parfait, la lumière, les couleurs et les moments.

(Translated) Annabelle was very professional from the start of the project making sure to respect our needs and tastes even during the planning. During the wedding, it was definitely a turnkey, her preparation was exemplary and she knew how to capture our love, our complicity and put everyone at ease which allowed to generate unforgettable memories with photos of exceptions. We recommend her without hesitation! (Original) Annabelle a été très professionnelle dès le début du projet en s’assurant de respecter nos besoins et nos goûts même lors de la planification. Durant le mariage, c’était définitivement un clé en main, sa préparation était exemplaire et elle a su capter notre amour, notre complicité et mettre tout le monde à l’aise ce qui a permit de générer des souvenirs inoubliables avec des photos d’exceptions. Nous la recommandons sans hésiter!

We hired Annabelle to shoot our intimate surprise wedding ceremony and reception in the summer because of her incredible ability to capture candid photos and the different perspectives she had an eye for. We loved the colours and editing she chose and then based our final decision on who she is as a professional - fun, open, easy to talk to and a great communicator. We felt at ease from the moment we spoke to her on the phone, to pre-wedding meetings, the wedding day itself and lots of communication after the fact. Wedding photography is a big cost, and we felt like we could completely trust Annabelle with our vision and money. And we could! On our wedding day, Annabelle was not only our photographer but like a wedding spirit guide. When things seemed hectic, Annabelle was calm. When it got super hot, Annabelle was cool. When we were veering off timelines, Annabelle was gently keeping us on track. Her vibe was just so calming, half the time you couldn’t even tell she was there and when you needed her she was always there. It was incredible. She was incredibly kind and patient but authoritative enough to get the most perfect shots. And then the photos. We can’t even describe the quality and beauty of the moments she captured. Not only did she capture so much and have an eye for some really intimate moments that may have been unnoticeable to anyone else – she edited the photos to bring out the most beauty in them. Her work was stunning and we couldn’t be happier with the treasures she has left us for the rest of our lives.
