I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.

I’ve been my best friend’s right hand since middle school, and seeing her get married was emotional for me too. Having these photos and video is like reliving that entire day whenever I want. They captured her beauty, her happiness, and also our friendship in such touching ways. I love that they didn’t just focus on the “big” shots, but also the goofy, silly ones that are totally her personality. When I saw the final video, I actually SCREAMED with joy because it felt like a movie but still so real. The speeches, the laughter, the way the groom looked at her I couldn’t stop watching. The photos of us together mean the world to me, because one day we’ll look back as old ladies and still smile. They even caught my teary eyes during the vows, which I didn’t think anyone saw. The whole process was smooth and stress-free, and they were so sweet with everyone. I would 100% recommend them to anyone, because they didn’t just deliver pictures, they delivered MAGIC.
