    Best photographer ever!

    Maria is such a pro at what she does! We couldn't have picked a better photographer for our wedding! She is super friendly, reasonably priced, and has amazing talent! We booked her for our engagement shoot last year also, and I can't imagine hiring anyone else. Just from the sneak peaks I've gotten back I can see that she got the exact shots I wanted and better! We will continue to hire Maria for any photography needs we have. If you want a great photographer that is also reasonably priced, choose Maria! :)

    Maria is an amazing photographer and we are so happy that she was able to capture our entire wedding day. She is a very hands on, thoughtful, creative, and detail oriented person. We enjoyed working with her very much. After a few meetings we were comfortable with our plan for the wedding day. The pictures are simply beautiful. One of my favorite pictures is during the Lao su kwan and Maria is at the end of the isle and she is taking a lovely picture of the entire room. It captured how beautiful the Palm House was that night and us surrounded by all our loved ones. Thank you for everything.

    Maria Hall was such a pleasure to work with!
    I was initially hesitant for any photographer to photograph our day due to the fact that my husband and I are both disabled. Knowing we wouldn't be able to pull off many traditional poses, I was worried about how they would turn out. Meeting Maria, I voiced my concern and she helped my husband and I brainstorm different ideas and was extremely open to anything.
    I'm so thankful to have had Maria through this process; her pictures of our day were stunning!! I don't think there was one bad photo! She captured the love so beautifully, I would highly recommend her for any future photos!

    Maria was wonderful to work with! She was on time and ready to start immediately. She knew just what to do to get perfect poses and angles. I'm anxious to see our photos because I know she got a lot of amazing shots of our big day! Everyone was raving about how great she did! She made sure to capture every special moment. When I started wedding planning, I told myself I didn't need a photographer, but I really couldn't imagine our wedding day without Maria! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    Maria was an absolute joy to work with. I have to say that she was my favorite vendor from my entire wedding experience. We met about 9 months before the big day to discuss general details and we left that meeting knowing that she would be a fabulous choice for our wedding day. Maria gave us so many options but never pressured us into doing something we weren't comfortable with. We were able to do a free engagement session with our package and those pictures turned out great. She was so flexible in allowing us to include our two huge dogs, who aren't always the most cooperative, but she handled everything with a smile and put us at ease.

    The wedding day was also a great experience. She kept me calm the entire time and because of that, the pictures turned out beautifully. She had an assistant with her so that every moment was captured. She also had so many cute ideas for pictures. She also handled my two very young flower girls so well, as well as my entire family.

    I would recommend Maria to any bride who wants to feel comfortable on her wedding day and have absolutely beautiful pictures.

    "Maria Hall Photography" kept popping up while I was hunting around, so I scheduled a meeting with them. WOW! I was very impressed by their presentation (knowledgeable and friendly) and the fact that they were so confident in their work, that they didn't try to sell me anything. They talked me out of a more expensive option because they felt it wouldn't suit my needs! Amazing!

    I hired MHP on very short notice, only 2-3 weeks before the wedding, and they were excellent about communicating with me (which is great, because I was a very absentminded bride!). In addition to showing up promptly and taking lovely photos, they also helped out with the wedding itself! John carried boxes, Maria straightened flowers, and when my MOH started having a panic attack, they made sure she was okay. AND they still took amazing, gorgeous photos that have been returned promptly and that I have the rights to--so I can share these with friends and family as much as I like!

    tl;dr - HIRE MARIA HALL PHOTOGRAPHY! You will not regret it.

    Maria was great - very professional, kind, caring, and went with the flow! She was easy to work with, was easily accessible via phone or email, and quickly responded to inquiries/changes. After describing what we watned during our initial consultation, Maria suggested that she bring another photographer - and we're so glad that she did. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    The moment I met Maria, I was completely comfortable with her and knew IQ Foto was the right choice. Maria worked with me to create a wedding package that included all the elements I wanted and within the budget I had to stick to. She always responded to my emails quickly...which was much appreciated! She did our engagement session, my boudior session, and the wedding along with Laurie. I was super nervous about the boudior session and she made me feel completely at ease and helped me through...my husband said it was the best gift he'd ever received! I've seen the sneak peek of our wedding photos on her blog and I just can't wait to see them all! They're beautiful! She and Laurie did such an amazing job at capturing candid moments with all our guests! I highly recommend IQ Foto! Thank you Maria!

    Maria was such a blessing! She not only provides great service at affordable cost, but the pictures are just gorgeous. I was one of those brides that spent months looking at blogs from photographers all over the place and Maria's pictures can top every one of them. She is always quick to respond to any questions you have and happy to help with suggestions. We both felt instantly comfortable with her. All of our family also commented how professional and great they were at the wedding and that our pictures are some of the best they have ever seen.

    We planned our wedding in a short 3 months. We met w Maria at IQ only 2 months before our actual wedding date. She was very accomadating to our need and the work of IQ Foto was quite impressive. Once we saw their portfolio, we instantly knew we made the right decision. The day of our wedding went smooth as could be w IQ. We had two photographers and they never missed a beat. Everything was captured greatly. We got amazing shots of every detail and aspect of our special day. We got our DVD w photos in a short amount of time after our day. Was a lot faster than we thought it'd be. The DVD was packaged beautifully and our pictures turned out amazing. Editing and special effects were stunning. We got rave reviews about them all from our guests who viewed the album online. IQ Foto not only met but exceeded our expectations. We would HIGHLY recommend them without hesitation!!!!

    IQ Foto was one of the easiest choices I made when wedding planning. I am so glad that I decided to pick them. My pictures turned out amazingly and I cant stop looking at them and showing them off! Everything came so natural with them. Pictures were easy, and beautiful. If I had to go back and do it all again, the only thing I would change is leaving more time for more pictures! It was a great experience all around and a great value. Im glad I chose IQ Foto to be the most important photographer of my life!

    Maria was the most amazing vendor I worked with for my wedding. I did my E pics, B pics and wedding pics with her and for each session she was so easy to work with, made me feel so comfortable and most importantly the images were BEAUTIFUL. Each time I contacted her via email she got back to me the same day, most of the time within a few hours. She was recommended to me and I will definitely recommend her to others.

    I would highly recommend IQ Foto. Maria is amazing. She is so friendly and easy to work with. As soon as I met her I was completely comfortable with her. She was very flexible with our busy schedule and was one of the few vendors that I did not have to worry about the day of my wedding. The pictures are great and I have gotten nothing but compliments from friends and family. Using IQ Foto was by far one of the best decisions that I made.

    Maria Hall and her team at IQ Foto were wonderful. After we picked a package, we had an engagement photo session with her. This allowed us to see how she worked. The session was so much fun, and it resulted in beautiful pictures which we were able to display in our wedding slideshow. Maria met with my husband and I several times before our wedding to help us plan and to talk to us about what we wanted from our pictures. The pictures of our wedding day are something I will cherish for a lifetime. Maria and her team completely captured the happiness of the day! Most importantly, they managed to do so discretely. They took great shots without interrupting us or our guests. I would definitely recommend IQ Foto.

    They were amazing as well as accomodating, flexible, timely, and wonderful to work with. They made it as stress free as possible and I received a lot of compliments not only on my photos, but on how nice and professional they were at our wedding! They went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy!

    Choosing Maria Hall with IQ FOTO was by far the best decision my husband Nick and I made for our engagement and wedding photos. The quality of their work was phenomenal and they were SO fun and easy to work with. They made us so comfortable at our engagement session, we had a lot of laughs throughout the day...and our wedding day was no different. They made everything run so smoothly and the photos turned out AMAZING!!! They use such a unique artistic approach with all their shots, I couldn't be happier with the way it all turned out. I would recommend them to anyone planning to get married, in fact, my cousin and his fiance are using them for their wedding this November...I can't wait to see their pics!
