After I moved to New York city and switched my focus from Wedding & Portrait Photography to Architecture & Interior Photography, I decided to capture and save the reviews that wedding clients had left for me in a place where I would always have them no matter what happened to the companies that captured the reviews.
The first set of reviews are from WeddingWire.com, an independent wedding planning website where clients could leave reviews about their vendors. The second set of verified reviews are from Pictage.com, which was a Photography Proofing & Workflow company for professional photographers that verified clients based on images that photographers had uploaded and delivered to clients. I can also personally verify that these are all real clients and that their reviews and ratings are exactly as the clients left them....

I hate being in front of the camera, and I was dreading wasting an hour of my wedding taking awkwardly staged wedding photos while my friends and family were cocktailing and dancing. Anne was the most relaxed, easy going and encouraging photographer we could have asked for. She was patient, caught lots of great candids, and the obligatory wedding party photos were a breeze (and a quick one at that). Our preview was ready 24 hours after the event, and all of our pictures went online quite quickly. We received our gorgeous leather album before our wedding anniversary, and the planning was stress free. I highly recommend Anne, especially for the camera shy bride.

I can't say enough about how happy I am to have found Anne Ruthmann to photograph my wedding day. My engagement and wedding photos were beyond my expectations. She is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but she is an absolute joy to work with. Anne was able to capture the excitement, humor and emotion of our wedding day, and managed to photograph some of the best moments during both our ceremony and reception without us even noticing that she was there. At the same time, she was able to corral my family for a family photo, which was no small feat. I recommend Anne Ruthmann without reservation. Book her early in your planning process - you won’t be disappointed.

I worked with Ann for a boudoir shoot I was doing as a gift to my boyfriend. At first I was so nervous to do a shoot like this but Ann made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire experience.
Ann was amazing to work with through the entire process. It was awesome to be able to work with Ann during the process of selecting my favorite shots. She made the experience truly personal and incredibly memorable .

Anne is amazing. We absolutely love all of our engagement and wedding photos. Photography was a priority for our wedding, and although it was a bit expensive, it was definitely worth every penny. Anne did a fabulous job of capturing all the big and little moments on our wedding day. She was so easy to work with and gave us exactly the mix of shots and styles that we wanted. Highly recommended!

Anne is an amazing photographer. My engagement and wedding photos were beyond my expectations. She caught the best moments without me even noticing that she was there. In addition to beautiful photos, Anne was great to work with. She put me and my husband at ease on such a hectic day. I highly recommend her for someone who wants their photos artistic, relaxed, and beautiful.

Loved working with Anne, she was wonderful, creative, and respectful of our culture, (it was her first Romanian Wedding). I recomend her to EVERYONE.

Anne did a wonderful job taking quality pictures. She was really booked therefore it took some time to receive the pictures. As it took some time to receive the pictures she offered us a discount on a photo album. Overall we were pleased with the outcome.

Anne is a wonderful photographer and a great person to work with. She captured our day beautifully and pays attention to the details. There were several photos of moments that I was not even aware of that she managed to get pictures of which really added a special surprise to getting the photos. In addition, I love the candid photos, which turned out great, but didn't require interruption throughout the day. She really takes the extra time needed with your photos after the event to get them just right, which made it worth the wait. I think that her price has increased since our wedding, but its just because everyone has taken notice to how great she is (she's won several awards) and she is worth every penny. Additionally, she is harder to book because everyone wants her....call early.

Anne is a great photographer! She loves her work and it shows.
Anne always goes the extra mile to make her clients happy and gives you that personal attention not may vendors do.

Anne is incredibly talented and personable. I researched many, many photographers before we hired her, because the photography was most important to me. Even though she hadn't done many weddings at that point, her talent and professionalism were evident, and with her personality and reasonable prices, she was the obvious choice. I'm so glad we went with Anne. (I know her prices have gone up since our wedding, but she's worth every penny!)

Anne Ruthmann Photography was absolutely wonderful!!! If you are searching for candid, creative, breathtaking images of your special day, Anne is definitely the photographer for you! We were very blessed to stumble upon her information online.. and the fact that she was available was AWESOME!
Services Used: Photography
Anne is not only an incredibly talented photographer with a truly artistic eye capable of capturing emotion, she was a dream to work with. Dealing with Anne usually felt more like talking to a friend than a wedding vendor. Considering that we hired her due to our originally-chosen photographer exhibiting some extremely unprofessional, untrustworthy behaviour just a month before our wedding day and Anne had just 4 weeks to prepare, she was beyond amazing as far as flexibility and budget.
Best of all, though, are the results - we love our wedding pictures and are so glad Anne was our photographer! It really must have been divine intervention. The images are lovely, often exquisite, very personal and intimate. She captured the big moments, the small touches, and the funny things we had no idea were going on. One cannot do better than to choose Anne Ruthmann as their photographer.

As a photographer myself, my wife and I couldn't have been happier Anne's service. If we had to do the wedding all over again, we may have changed a few things, but not the photography! Thank you Anne!

My boyfriend and I were blessed to have Anne take pictures of us celebrating our engagement! Anne was not just interested in the photographs, but our story, which she caught in her pictures. She was a joy to work with and the our session with her was more than just a photo shoot, it was a special memory.

I would highly recommend Anne Ruthmann. Anne is an extremely warm and dynamic person with amazing experience and creativity to share in her work. She listens to you as a client, provides her own feedback and ideas and then executes her skills as a photographer based on your conversations. I know Anne listened to what we were looking for and really thought through our photo shoot with the highest integrity in mind to that vision. I love Anne's very approachable personality that adapts to people and situations, allowing there to be a wonderful ease to the whole process of working with her. She has an excellent dedication to quality and love for capturing life in her images. Say a big YES to working with Anne!

Very pleased with Anne's work for our wedding. She was easy to work with. She worked with us to give us the kind of pictures we were looking for. As an amateur photographer myself I can be a tough critic, but I was very pleased with the subjects, angles, backgrounds and apertures that she chose. Her pictures even made us look like great dancers!

Anne is seriously the best, she is so thoughtful and provides the most intimate photographs with her awesome personal flair. I've never worked with someone whose gone so far out of their way to make my life better (and not charge extra!) She is such a sweetheart and worth millions and millions for her love for her clients and how she makes their love shine in her photos.

Anne Ruthmann has an incredible eye for catching shots at the height of emotional exchanges. It was also important to us that she was good at catching action since dance was a big part of our party.

Anne has an amazing eye for unique and stunning photos. Her talent has given us pictures that we would not have dreamt of having, true pieces of moments that will not be forgotten. I would recommend her to anyone who is not afraid of something a little different. If you want to stand and be posed for each photo than she may not be your person, but if casual, real life moments is what you are trying to capture...I haven't seen anyone better!

Anne is just wonderful to work with. I think very highly of her as an artist and photographer. We had our engagement session and now have pictures that will be treasured forever. She has a delightful personality and is a truly talented photographer. Simply stated, Anne has an eye for beauty. Her photos evoke feelings that will bring a smile to your face or a tear to your eye. She doesn't miss a beat and seems to capture those little moments that are endearing to our hearts. Sometimes I think we don't even realize the subtle gestures that Anne recognizes. She is able freeze a moment in time for us to share and enjoy. Anne showcases our memories in our own personal love story that we created. I was very happy to have found such an amazing photographer that I can trust. We are very excited to work with Anne for one of the most important days in our lives.

Our wedding was in June 2006 and our photos turned out wonderful! Anne captured so many things we never even knew happened; she was always on the move (I don't even think she ate dinner, she wanted to capture every moment possible). Normally, most people don't pay attention to the photographer at a wedding but, we received a ton of compliments from our friends and family at the end of the reception on how many wonderful moments she captured. She has an amazing eye for detail and brings out the true colors of the couple in every photo. ANNE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! One more thing, she is not only a wonderful photographer but, a wonderful person as well. She has the most wonderful outlook on life and is truely an amazing person. THANKS ANNE!! GREAT JOB!!

Anne Ruthmann is a fabulous photographer... young, fresh, wonderful personality and so extremely creative! I wasn't sure that i'd be able to find a personable photographer that was as creative and passionate as she, that would meet and exceed our expectations. My husband and I are so glad that I stumbled upon the website that connected us with Anne. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for creative, beautiful, huge WOW factor photos to cherish forever. Jen and Chuck Poljanac

Anne did a great job capturing our wedding through photos. We had a problem with our first photographer and she was able to step in with just a couple of months notice. The pictures looked amazing. I also liked the fact that she kept in contact with us to make sure that we didn't need anything and that everything was going smooth through the planning process. I would definitely recommend Anne to anyone.
