Evan & Alexie | WISCONSIN WEDDING
Anna (owner) is amazing to work with! She reached out multiple times before our wedding to ensure that I got all of the pictures I was wanting! She goes above and beyond to make pictures fit the couple perfectly! I can not imagine having a better photographer on our wedding! Anna was timely and made sure to keep us on schedule and capture our wedding perfectly. Anna came up with so many cute photo opportunities and they turned out so good! I can not thank her enough for capturing our day perfectly! I would highly recommend her for wedding photos or any other photo needs. She did our engagement photos as well with our dogs/other farm animals and she did amazing! I am grateful that she was willing to come to our house to capture our engagement session making it personalized to us!
She goes above and beyond to make the pictures fit the couple perfectly!

"Anna is the best! My husband and I had a very small wedding ceremony and Anna was there to capture every moment. She makes you feel comfortable and confident and she’s also great with kids! I’d recommend Anna to anyone looking for a fun and personable photographer that takes amazing photos. Not to mention we received our photos in no time after our wedding!"

"We LOVE getting our photos taken by Anna at Rustic Rose Photography! She makes us feel so comfortable and guides you through the poses making it feel so easy! I am always in love with how our photos turn out from her! Her vibe and style are exactly what we love!Anna is a busy mom/wife/photographer but her turn around time is so quick! She is so sweet, fun, and easy to work with. She is great with kids too! Getting our photos back is always so exciting because they are always everything we wanted and more! During my pregnancy I felt so sick and miserable but the way my maternity pictures turned out made me feel so good about myself! She did such an amazing job capturing me and my growing family that looking back at these photos almost makes me forget the roughness of pregnancy! The photos show how truly beautiful pregnancy is and how beautiful she made me feel. We will forever choose Anna to do our photos!"

Let's Chat!!
We'll meet on your wedding day or at your shoot and have some fun. After I'll edit your photos and email you the link to download everything.
We'll reserve your date and get to planning your wedding, portrait or branding session!
Shoot me and email and we'll discuss what type of photos you're looking for, whether it's a wedding, portrait session or a branding session.
That’s okay—I don’t expect perfection! Sessions are flexible, playful, and full of little breaks if needed. I follow your child’s lead and keep things relaxed so we capture their real personality.
What if my kids don’t cooperate?
Yes! I totally understand that photography is an investment, and I’m happy to offer flexible payment options to make it more manageable for you.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! While I’m based in West Salem and serve the La Crosse area, I’m happy to travel for sessions or weddings—just reach out and we’ll chat through the details.
Do you travel for sessions or weddings?
Absolutely. Whether you’re dreaming of a golden field, downtown vibes, or somewhere special to you, I’ve got a list of local spots I love—and I’m always up for new ideas!
Can you help us pick a location?
Totally normal, and honestly? Most people feel that way at first. My sessions are super laid-back, with a mix of gentle guidance and space to just be yourselves. You’ll be surprised how quickly you forget the camera’s even there.
I’m nervous about being in front of the camera—any advice?
