Here's what past clients of Chad + Anastasia Photography have said about us:

"The moment I saw the slideshow Chad + Anastasia Photography had put to music for us, I started to cry. They captured our wedding perfectly through their beautiful, emotional photos; it was all I was hoping for and more. Chad and Anastasia were a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat."

KRISTEN GOLDSMITH, VANCOUVER

"Anastasia’s photography is joyful, creative and filled with life. As a photographer she is intuitive, she captures the essence of moments and the hearts and feelings of the people she photographs and the atmosphere of their surroundings; therein lies the beauty of her work, which is undeniable and universally moving".

CHRISTINE COOKE, PEMBERTON

"Anastasia was so great to work with. I do not have easy kids and she captured all three of them perfectly! Photos of our children captured by Anastasia was the perfect gift for my husband!."

KRISTIN JOHNSTON, WHISTLER

"I hired Anastasia to shoot our Fall '08 Fig catalogue because she had previously shot my wife and I for a 'Bump and Baby' package and we were very happy with the results. It wasn't until I witnessed her wrangling eight kids, six parents and two clients while shooting brilliant photos that her true talent really expressed itself. I would sometimes lean over to share an idea or a frame only to realize that she had already captured it. She weaves magic while shooting kids and always gets her shot."

MICHAEL ZIFF, VANCOUVER
OWNER OF HIP BABY AND FIG KIDS

"Anastasia and Chad are very professional, yet laid-back and warm. They made us feel extremely comfortable and we have the photos to prove it! Anastasia was organized, enthusiastic, and always available for questions. Our photos capture the spirit of our wedding day and will provide wonderful memories for years to come. Thank you so much!"

LEAH and KEVIN KIMURA, VANCOUVER

"You have such a natural ability behind the lens and are so relaxed with the kids which allowed you to capture such beautiful moments in our lives. We now have memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. I can't wait 'til our next session!"

MICHELLE FORSTER, WHISTLER

"My wife is super hot. Meanwhile, I look kind of like a fat hobbit. But Stace and Chad managed to nab great images of both of us at our wedding in Seattle -- in February! If you want to feel like movie stars on your wedding day, look no further."

C.D. WHYTE, PORTLAND, OREGON

"Your photographs of my family have truly made me take stock of myself. I look at them each day and they remind to cherish every smile, love every minute, and count my blessings as I have many! I read your blog on a regular basis, too, and your love of life is contagious. I truly believe this is why you are so talented: you see the beauty in life. You have given me something that is hard to put into words, so I live every day thankful to have met you and will always cherish the beauty that you have infused into my life."

S JAMIESON, NEW ZEALAND

"Chad and Anastasia were able to do a destination photo shoot for us in Fiji. In the midst of this, we had a cyclone come through the island, making things hectic (and considerably less photogenic). It would have been easy for Anastasia Photography to give up in these circumstances, but Chad and Anastasia made it happen and captured fantastic photos. They were flexible and built an amazing rapport with our staff, turning what could have been an awful situation into an excellent one. You could not ask for easier personalities to work with."

VOMO RESORT, FIJI

"Stace and Chad were the perfect complement to our amazing day. Our idea was to share the story of our elopement through a series of photographs and they managed to capture our sentiments and experience in such a beautiful and artistic way. The results far exceeded our expectations. Their genuine enthusiasm toward our ideas and encouragement to be ourselves made it so comfortable, hilarious and sweet! Almost everyone has told us that they are the best wedding photographs they have ever seen and, for that, we must give credit: Thank you for being yourselves and bringing out the best in us!"
