love, Anne
Your photographs will be the permanent record of this special occasion, outlasting almost all other elements of the day- and it is nothing short of an honor to be able to join you on such a significant day in your lives. It's a tall ask, and a dream to be able to intentionally curate, story-tell, and craft the legacy of your lives.
Let's start with who we are: To me, Anne Troxel Photography is more than a place of business or a job—it's a safe haven where everyone is welcomed, valued, and respected. Where I can show you how much you're loved by turning your moments into memories and artfully and intentionally curating, capturing, and story-telling your day. Where we'll laugh, cry, and cheer together. Where you're not another date, another wedding, another client- a welcoming space where you get to shine your brightest.
When you look back at the photos, you will enjoy remembering not only how your day looked but also how it FELT and see all the hard work you poured into it brought back to life!
WELCOME
After your day, I'll set to work on editing your images and create a beautiful collection for your gallery. Waiting is hard... so I provide same-weekend sneak peeks of your wedding! Your collection will be uploaded to an online image gallery for you, and then we can design your album!

And you get to take a deep breath and relax. I'll arrive about an hour before you're finishing touches so that I can capture all the stationery and sentimental items of your day, while capturing candids of your best people. I'll be there to capture your excitement, first looks, and even help with anything you need - from pinning boutineers to tying the perfect bow. After that, I take a step back to capture your day as it unfolds, expertly guiding you to the best light to let your moments shine.

If you fail to plan you plan to fail.
Approximately a month before your wedding, I'll send you a questionnaire to get all the high-level information for your day. From there, I'll work with your planner to build a timeline to make your wedding day photography a breeze. From my suggested family formals list to the best light, I'm here to help optimize your wedding day so that you can exhale and enjoy being in the moment.
Details, please.

We like to keep things simple around here. Any package has a flat retainer of $1000 to secure your date. I'll send you a contract and quote for you to fill out and return- after that you're locked in!
Once your contract is processed, we can plan your engagement session and get down to the details.

"Anne was so wonderful to work with! We loved how she fully walked us through what the day could look like and things to look out for in our meetings before the day - she really left us feeling very secure in knowing that we would be getting the shots we wanted. Anne and team were so great with not only the smallest details and beautifully crafted artistic shots, but captured every moment so beautifully! The images we got back were beyond what we could've imagined."

Why does everyone say "investment" instead of price? Because that's just what your wedding photography is- an investment in yourself, in your memories, and in your legacy.
These images will only ever increase in value as the years pass. They will reflect the time, effort and love that went into planning your perfect day. One day, they may be the most precious thing you own from your wedding.
If you love actually holding precious images in your hands, then you’ll love having an album to tell your whole story or prints to display and share with your family and friends. If you’re an onscreen type of person, then you’ll love having your custom gallery to share on social media, set as your home screen, and share on the go!
All Packages allow you to print your images at your favorite source, or to order archival quality prints through my professional labs.
Every collection comes with a minimum of eight hours, a second photographer, and online, password protected gallery, and then "little treats" or "something extra special." Because who doesn't love a little treat?
Your wedding is unique, so I'm letting you choose the things that matter most to you!

-Maya Lovro, Maya Lovro Photography
"I've worked closely with Anne for years so everything I say here is true and, more importantly, consistently true. Anne knows weddings inside and out. She knows photography like she was born with a camera in hand. (I'm not convinced she wasn't) Combine these two truths and you easily see - Anne is not just a wedding photographer, she is THE wedding photographer. You want her. Her attention to detail and absolute mastery of her craft is so beautiful to witness I still sometimes find myself observing her in awe - and I've been watching her work for my entire professional life. Beyond her exceptional creative eye, which is well evidenced in her portfolio, Anne's dedication to her clients is extraordinary. I have seen her mend a broken dress on the spot, weather a hailstorm to finish portraits somewhere the couple could be dry, and push on despite injury to finish out a wedding day with a smile on her face. If photography is a language, Anne is fluent. She knows how to handle any weather / location / lighting scenario with ease and fluidly pivots to adapt to unforeseen circumstances. There is no photographic challenge out there that Anne wouldn't conceive a solution for in seconds. As a professional, Anne is the best there is. As a person, Anne is sweet, caring, affirming, inclusive, and genuinely wants to make the world a better place for everyone she meets. I feel so fortunate to have a life where I get the opportunity to know her and work with her."
love notes
An engagement session is the perfect way to capture that new-chapter of life glow and to express yourselves as a couple without the strict timeline and demands of your wedding day.
This type of photoshoot will help you feel more prepared for your big day by giving you a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera. It'll also give us a chance to get to know each other so you feel at ease with me as your photographer.
I’m happy to give you as little or as much direction as you would like for poses and ideas. I am always happy to suggest locations based upon the type of setting you’d prefer! Some of my favorite spots are Hartwood Acres Mansion, the Melon Park Walled Garden, and the Pittsburgh Botanical Garden.
Many of my couples use their engagement photographs to create ‘Save The Dates’ or even a signing book for your guests to write their well wishes to you on your wedding day! They're also a great way to have variety around your home- not just in your wedding clothes.
What makes them special?
ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS
"We're nervous about posing in front of a camera."
It's okay- every couple is (my self and my partner included!)
It can be such an overwhelming thought to be the center of attention and anticipating to have to ‘perform’ for the camera. But here's the good thing- I have no expectations for you to know what to do. I always aim to create genuine, natural, and timeless images and adapt with you to see what kind of guidance best shows you. Sometimes it's a gentle direction to help you feel that you’re not just left on your own, and sometimes it's more direct- I will always meet you where you're at.
If you're nervous being in front of the camera, I cannot suggest doing an engagement session enough! It is truly the best way to see your favorite poses and positioning, communication styles, and of course, your preferred angles.
Will it be awkward having a camera following me?
Inviting someone to photograph you on a significant and, at times, quite intimate day can be emotional- while I always aim to capture images as sensitively as possible, having a crew of photographers, videographers, and content creators can feel like a paparazzi! Your wedding more than just content- the way you feel always comes first. And if that means you need fifteen minutes alone to decompress or just enjoy being newly weds, I will help create that space for you. I am your advocate and on your team.
In Pittsburgh? No way.
I've photographed weddings in snowstorms, hail, and historic heat- and with every wedding, we still make magic. You're going to be wrapped up in the moment enjoying your favorite people, and with the perfect plan in place, the weather likely won't make as big as an impact as you think!
On most days, we're able to work around whatever mother nature throws at us- be it by popping outside for the ten-minute gap in the rain or by utilizing an indoor space... but if you prefer, we can add-on a portrait session for after your wedding if you have your heart set on a specific location made impossible by weather.
For engagement sessions, I offer one free reschedule due to weather- because I don't want to be cold and wet any more than you do!
What if it rains, snows, or heat waves?
(PS: they usually have simple solutions)

- Alexandra & Caitlin
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the absolutely fantastic photographs!! We have been looking at the pictures nonstop for the past 24 hours (as have our families!). You perfectly captured our special day and all of the precious memories in each moment. I can't stop tearing up! We are so thankful to have so many joyful artifacts of that day to share with each other and our loved ones. It physically embodies our love and the support we are so lucky to have from our closest friends and family.
It was a true pleasure to work with you through this process--we both aren't "picture people," and were nervous at the prospect of having a photographer. But, you not only captured beautifully composed photos (engagement and wedding), you caught the "real us" and helped our love shine through. These are pictures we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
I can't stop tearing up!
TESTIMONIALS
I'm ready to book! what next?
Incredible! The next steps are accepting a quote and signing your contract.
I like to keep things simple- no matter which package you choose, a flat retainer of $1000 reserves your date. This also means that you can decide the perfect package for you closer to your wedding day as the timeline takes shape.
Engagement sessions are unique because they let us explore areas that may not be options on your wedding day- the cafe you had your first date at, your favorite park or garden, or areas that just aren't feasible for your wedding day. I always suggest picking the season you want to do your session in, followed by the location.
Please note that during much of the summer-fall season, engagement sessions are primarily scheduled on weekdays to allow our weekends to be dedicated to our weddings.
when should we schedule our engagement session?
Can we add hours to our package day-of?
Yes! Sometimes even a perfectly-laid plan goes a little unexpectedly. I never double-book sessions before or after a wedding, so we can add time as late as the day before or day of.
A travel fees is charged for distances beyond 20 miles from Pittsburgh. For distances greater than an hour-and-a-half, overnight accommodations are required. Any distances beyond the standard ranges will receive a custom quote based on location and distance.
