Georgia | Natural Light & True to Color, Travel Wedding & Portrait Photographer


Heather Ann Photography is a Marietta, Georgia wedding and portrait photographer serving couples and families throughout Atlanta, North Georgia, and across Georgia.


I specialize in weddings, elopements, engagements, surprise proposals, couples, maternity, family, senior, and portrait photography.


My photography style combines true-to-color editing, natural light, genuine emotion, candid storytelling, and beautifully guided portraits. I want your images to feel timeless while still capturing the laughter, personality, and wonderfully unscripted moments that make your story your own.


Whether you're planning a North Georgia mountain wedding, an Atlanta celebration, an intimate elopement, a surprise proposal, or a portrait session close to home in Marietta, my goal is to make the experience organized, relaxed, personal, and fun.

Hello, I am Heather.


I am so excited you are here! I am a dedicated and detail-oriented photographer and Ordained Minister with a 29 year background in education, bringing a unique blend of creativity and organization to every session. With years of experience behind the lens—dating back to the days of film photography—I understand that while technology evolves, the art of capturing timeless moments remains unchanged.


My goal is to bring your vision to life before we even step in front of the camera. Through careful planning and collaboration, I ensure that every shot reflects your unique story, whether it's a wedding, family portrait, or special event.


My photography style is a mix of timeless tradition, creative flair, and heartfelt storytelling—with plenty of fun and a little bit of silliness sprinkled in. I capture the classic shots you’ll cherish forever, while also leaning into the playful, unscripted moments that make each session feel real and full of life.


From our very first consultation call, I want you to feel like you’re chatting with a friend. I take time to understand what matters most to you—whether it’s getting the perfect family portrait, celebrating a milestone, or simply capturing your crew just as they are in this season of life. I’ll help you plan every detail so the day feels relaxed, fun, and completely tailored to your vision.


During the session, expect a mix of gentle guidance and go-with-the-flow energy. I create a lighthearted atmosphere where everyone feels free to laugh, be silly, and enjoy the moment. Yes, we’ll get those frame-worthy traditional shots—but we’ll also chase genuine smiles, goofy giggles, and spontaneous moments that tell your story just the way it happens.

Each gallery is a collection of images that look beautiful—but more importantly, feel like you. Full of warmth, connection, and a whole lot of heart.


Let’s work together to create lasting memories with images that are both authentic and beautifully composed. <3

Need an Officiant / Minister?


Along with capturing your day behind the camera, I’m also an ordained minister via the Universal Life Church Ministries and am available to officiate your wedding ceremony. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a larger celebration, I can provide a heartfelt, personal ceremony that reflects your story. Couples love the convenience of having both photography and officiant services combined, and I’m honored to serve in whichever way makes your day most meaningful.

Frequently Asked Questions:


If I decide to book your services, how does the process work?

After we've discussed the details of your day, I will send you an invoice and contract to be reviewed for up to 7 days. Once you have read and digitally signed the contract, it is returned to me for my digital signature. A copy will be sent with both signatures to your email. The electronic invoice will list the price and services discussed and provides direct links to either my Venmo or Zelle accounts.


Do I have to pay for services in full?

No. Upon signing your contract, a non-refundable retainer of 30% of your total investment package is required to secure your wedding date. The remaining balance is due a minimum of 30 days prior to your wedding. You are welcome to pay the remaining balance in installments or in a single payment. Accepted forms of payment include Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal, or cash. (Non wedding booked sessions also require a 30% retainer upon booking and to be paid in full before your session.)


What kind of communication can I expect from you?

When you initially reach out, I will jump on facetime call or zoom with you to assure you I am a real person and allow you to make a decision if our personalities click. As your photographer, I am always accessible via email, my website, or phone. One week prior to your wedding, I will reach out to reconfirm your timeline and ensure all details are up to date. The evening before your wedding, you can expect a brief confirmation message from me with a note of encouragement—reassuring you that I am prepared, fully committed, and honored to be there to capture your day.


What if I cannot afford videography? Is this necessary?

While I do not offer full videography services, I’m happy to recommend talented videographers I’ve personally worked with and trust. It is definitely another beautiful avenue to capture more moments of your special day. All of my wedding packages include complimentary raw, behind-the-scenes iPhone video clips, captured throughout your day. These will be transferred to your iPhone or uploaded to your gallery so you can replay, save, and share those candid moments.


Do I need a wedding planner or coordinator?

This is a tough decision and usually comes down to your budget, family dynamics, and overall vision for the day. While I help create and follow a custom photography timeline based on your priorities and wish list, I’m not able to fully coordinate your wedding day—that role truly deserves its own dedicated professional. I highly recommend hiring at least a day-of coordinator, and I’m happy to share several trusted coordinators I’ve worked with if you’d like referrals.


What will you be wearing as my photographer?

I will always arrive in professional, event-appropriate attire with the intention of blending in. You’ll typically find me in neutral or black slacks or dresses—never in anything distracting or too casual. You have my word: I will never show up in spandex and a sweatshirt to photograph your beautiful event. If you are having a theme wedding, I am also happy to participate with your permission.


How will I receive my photos?

You will receive a link to an online digital gallery on my website. This link can be shared with anyone you wish to share it with. The photos can be digitally downloaded on your devices. No physical photos will be provided. To print, you will take the downloaded photos to any print shop you choose or visit the gallery website's "store" and choose prints and/or products to purchase separately which will be shipped to you.


How far in advance should we book our Georgia wedding photographer?

Popular wedding dates can book many months in advance, so I recommend reaching out as soon as you have your venue and wedding date confirmed.


Do you photograph North Georgia mountain weddings?

Yes. I regularly travel throughout North Georgia and love photographing mountain weddings, outdoor ceremonies, intimate celebrations, and elopements.


Do you travel outside Marietta?

Absolutely. I'm based in Marietta but photograph throughout Atlanta, North Georgia, the rest of Georgia, and destinations throughout the Southeast. I've traveled outside Georgia for weddings in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, and Missouri so far.


Do your wedding packages include a second photographer?

Some packages include a second photographer, and one can also be added depending on your coverage needs. If you are on the fence at all about this, I highly recommend adding one!


Who Can Officiate a Wedding in Georgia?

In Georgia, you have lots of flexibility when choosing who marries you!

  • Religious Ceremonies – Ministers, priests, rabbis, or other ordained clergy can perform weddings that include faith traditions, prayers, or scripture.
  • Civil Ceremonies – Judges, magistrates, or probate court officials can officiate a simple, non-religious ceremony.
  • Family & Friends – Georgia also allows friends or relatives to get ordained online and officiate your wedding, as long as they’re recognized as an officiant and file your marriage license correctly.

The main requirement is that you have a valid marriage license from the probate court before your ceremony, and your officiant signs and returns it after.
