Iām Anka Goold
I go by Anka or Anna, but whatever you call me, know this:
Iāve got a real case of photography FOMO
That just means I never, ever want to miss a moment and will have my camera up ā scanning, observing, and snapping away all day when Iām with you. Iāll get the shotāeven if it means Iāve got to crawl under a table (which Iāve done hundreds of times).
I never half-ass anything. I bring my whole-ass self to your wedding, which yeah, sometimes means I climb my whole self up on a counter to get that perfect angle.
Canāt wait to show up whole (ass and all) to your wedding!
āIām so happy with the experience my husband and I received from Anka! The wedding was beautiful and she was so amazing at making everyone feel comfortable and laugh and that means the world to me.ā
My own wedding photos had all the personality of a jellyfish
Sad, but true. Sigh.
Which is why Iām so determined to make sure no one else is disappointed with their images! I never, ever want you to look at your wedding photography and feel ⦠meh. My wedding photos felt nothing like the big love I felt for my Tony, whoās now my husband of fifteen (!!!) years.
That right there is the driving force behind everything I do ā the reliable communication, the clear direction, the care, and service that I show
to all my couples from word one. I put my whole dang heart into making sure you see yourselves in every frame.
This is us todayātotally comfortable making each other shut up when needed. And more in love than ever. Photo credit: Naray Kang.
Mawwiage,
mawwiage,
mawwiage!
My ānutinessā has definitely rubbed off on my usually calm-and-collected Tony. Photo credit: Naray Kang.
Take a peek at some of what I can do for you below, then letās chat ā¦
The path less followed
Thatās where youāll find me
Iām a blend of all the places and experiences that have led to this moment, and I think that helps me view the world through a different lens ( see what I did there? š). I appreciate every interesting way people live and love and set out each day to show others what makes them them.
I do that with my camera and my canvases. I can still remember the moment I fell in love with art. Iād woken with the sun and watched the way light and dark filtered through the gaps in the blinds. I was struck with this overwhelming thought: āHow is it possible to love something as much as I love this moment right now?ā
Iāve been chasing down that feeling ever since.
I want to capture the precise moment of pure, golden love and turn it into something thatāll last.
Okay, Iām not always over here with the deep thoughts. Case in pointā¦
WORDS MY TONY AND I HAVE MADE UP:
Batest ā best meets greatest ⦠aka Today is going to be the absolute batest!
Theirchother ā our daughterās take on āeach otherā thatās stuck ⦠aka Look how much they love theirchother! Itās getting Juuuicy!
Your turn! Any words you two have created? If not ā letās come up with some silly ones during photos to help you ease into the session.
And while youāre hereā¦
What do goats and saxophones have in common? Iām interested in both. Learning sax is on my ever-growing to-do list. I also want to own a goat. And if I canāt own a goat (yet!) I want to photograph couples getting married on farms where I can say hi to the goats.
Find us running headlong toward adventure. One of my favorite family activities is picking a new spot and getting the heck out there. Road trips, windswept beaches, forest-fringed lakes, frakking adorable small towns. Weāve done it all.
Iām a little nutty. Or the more appropriate way to say that ⦠Iām all about thinking outside the box. Like, way outside. AKA Iām a crazy good problem solver and have an eye for creative solutions. Itās a real yes, and ⦠approach that I learned in improv.
