Aliki Anadena Photography (CHATSWOOD)

As someone who treasures photos immensely, finding the right wedding photographer was my top priority. I wanted someone who was easy to communicate with, patient, and skilled in capturing candid, timeless, and documentary-style photos. From the moment I viewed Aliki's photo albums on her website and communicated with her via email and phone, I was impressed by her attention to detail and her patience in listening to our needs. When we expressed concerns about the language barrier, as our family primarily speaks Cantonese, Aliki went above and beyond by suggesting a second photographer who could speak Cantonese. This level of understanding and willingness to accommodate our needs set her apart from other photographers we considered. My favorite part about working with Aliki was the comfortable atmosphere she created during our photo shoots. Although she provided some guidance on posing, she allowed us to be ourselves, resulting in stunning pre-wedding and wedding day photos. The warmth, softness, and brightness in her photos are truly impressive. /Users/danielalam/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/6.

Our wedding party, both sides of our family, and our church friends were all full of compliments for Aliki, both on the wedding day and after receiving the online photo album. I wholeheartedly recommend Aliki for anyone seeking a talented, thoughtful, and professional wedding photographer.

Aliki is a joy to work with. From the moment we started communicating, she was prompt, professional, friendly and helpful. It was more than a half year process of communication as we live overseas and wanted to do the shoot in Sydney when our baby turned 6 months. Aliki was always reachable and approachable, she also planned out the timing of all communications, reminding us of attire and additional prep for baby prior to the photoshoot. During the shoot, the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. Aliki is clearly experienced with children, she guided our family of four effortlessly to capture natural heartwarming moments. She also had some clothing prepared to help make the images more cohesive. Finally, Aliki’s work speaks for itself. The images are warm, the lighting is soft and beautiful. Her style is consistent and suitable for all situations. She even delivered the final gallery within a week of the shoot. We enjoyed working with her immensely and will not hesitate to recommend her as a photographer for all situations.

Whilst it does not take much to make my wife look beautiful, Aliki did an exceptionally stunning job of capturing the ethereal beauty I have seen in my wife throughout her pregancy. She also made me look decent. Aliki's communication was extremely responsive and she set very clear expectations and instructions on what our photoshoot was going to look like. Aliki went above and beyond to meet and bring to life all of our requests and ideas and always made sure we felt comfortable throughout the whole photoshoot. The photoshoot process was efficient without ever feeling rushed and her instructions regarding how to pose and position ourselves were incredibly clear and made the whole photoshoot process a breeze. Throughout the whole photoshoot, Aliki showed a deep understanding of how to incorporate the beautiful surroundings into the atmosphere and feel of our photos and it is evident that Aliki puts a lot of thought into the locations that she took us to. The turnaround between our photoshoot and the final photos was also remarkable (1 month) and allowed us to share our pregnancy news on social media just in time for our due date. Overall we have been extremely pleased with Aliki and could not recommend her enough!
