Anna Schmidt Photography

Our Perspective

Photography, at its best, is rooted in human connection.


Since founding the studio in 2011, Anna’s work has been guided by the same principle: that the most powerful images are created when people feel seen, supported, and fully present.

This philosophy informs every decision — from the way experiences are designed, to how moments are photographed, to how stories are preserved long after the day itself has passed.

Of moments. Of meaning. Of the people and stories that shape a life.

Every celebration is approached with intention, discernment, and respect for what the day represents — not only as an event, but as a turning point in a shared history.

At the heart of Anna Schmidt Photography is the belief that wedding photography is more than documentation — it is stewardship.

OUR ASP PHILOSOPHY

Luxury

Luxury is not excess. It is care, intention, and discernment.

We believe exceptional occasions deserve to be documented with clarity, artistry, and restraint. By taking on a limited number of celebrations each year, we are able to offer a highly personalized experience — one shaped around your priorities, your pace, and your vision.

From thoughtful preparation to refined execution, every detail is considered. Not to impress, but to honor the significance of the moment.

OUR ASP PHILOSOPHY

Legacy

Images endure when they are created with purpose.

We believe wedding photographs should live far beyond the season in which they were made — passed down, revisited, and cherished for generations. Our work balances vibrant, emotionally rich imagery with timeless black-and-white portraits and heirloom albums designed to last.

Your story is not fleeting. It is part of something larger. We photograph it accordingly.

How do you want to be remembered?

Our ASP Philosophy

Love

Love is expansive. Love is resilient. Love is worthy of care.

We believe in celebrating love in all its forms — across cultures, identities, traditions, and families. Every story we are entrusted with is treated with respect, dignity, and intention.

This studio is grounded in inclusivity, empathy, and the belief that every couple deserves to have their story told beautifully, honestly, and without compromise.

"'Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its final destination of hope."' 

Maya Angelou

Every day, we are energized by people and potential — by connection, creativity, and the quiet moments that matter most.
It is our privilege to document them.
