Working with Maggie was wonderful. She not only captured our perfect day, but she put us at ease and made the whole day feel very natural. She has a spectacular eye and is great at capturing magical moments. We are so thankful to have worked with her. She came highly recommended from a family referral and has become our go-to, extended, family photographer.

Maggie did an incredible job with the photos for our wedding. Her kindness and passion for her work radiated, and we knew that we were in excellent hands. We really appreciated that she took time to meet with us before the wedding date to go over the schedule for the day. Throughout the day, she made us feel so comfortable, and she took beautiful photos that we will cherish for years to come. We are thrilled with the way our photos turned out and are so grateful to Maggie for the job that she did.

Maggie is amazing!! We had great phone calls to go over my vision and what photos were important to me. She has great attention to detail and knows how to get the natural poses and all of the special moments. It rained on our wedding day and she went above and beyond to make sure we still got amazing photos, while still keeping us comfortable and smiling!

My husband and I LOVED our experience with Maggie! She was such a fantastic person to work with and we had a blast taking our wedding photos. She never rushes you and is very receptive to any and every idea you have for your pictures (also, she is full of great ideas, too)! She was funny, and helped capture our laughter in so many pictures. We were so pleased with how it all turned out, and would hire her again in an instant!

what if we don't feel comfortable in front of the camera?
Don't worry! With over 10 years of experience I know how to make my couples comfortable and forget they are being photographed. I like to use candid poses, incorporate movement, give directions and encouragement, so you know what to do and what looks nice. Sometimes I even tell jokes ;)
