So grateful I hired Marcia and team!

I hired Marcia and her team to take pictures of our beach wedding. They were very professional and did such an amazing job of capturing our special day! They were personable and interacted well with the guests, everyone had a great time. She was available with whatever questions I had and had such great suggestions. You can tell she is a professional and loves what she does. I am so grateful that I hired her and would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting amazing pictures of their special day!

Excellence, Warmth, Flexibility, and Stunning Photos!

Marcia is the perfect photographer for your wedding! My husband and I were so happy we chose her and Michael to capture our special day. Marcia is very easy to work with, and has a warm energy that makes you feel at ease during the planning phase and during photoshoots. We wanted a lot of pictures with our guests, and she took the lead in getting everyone in formation and adjusting everyone's postures quickly to produce the best photos in the least amount of time. Her pictures are absolutely stunning, and she is very talented at utilizing natural light and selecting the best spots and backgrounds to bring out your natural beauty and the beauty of your surroundings. She is also flexible and meets with you multiple times to make sure everything runs smoothly on your big day and that you get all the shots and poses you're looking for. Marcia has a quick turnaround, so you'll also receive your pictures in no time after your wedding. I would highly recommend Marcia (and Michael) as your wedding photographer!

Book them now! Seriously, Marcia is the sweetest and so helpful. Very detail oriented. She's not just an amazing photographer. She made my timeline, referred me to other vendors. We met several times and she took our engagement photos too, as practice. Michael and my husband for along great too. Non invasive at the wedding also, if that's what you want. Efficient. Gorgeous sunset photos

Marcia & Michael are amazing! I highly recommend them! They are truly wonderful people and even better photographers. Marcia helped me with so much more than just taking photos for our engagement and our fabulous wedding day, which was a huge project in itself. From making sure the schedule was made for the big day to accommodating us with our large wedding party of 27 (including myself and my husband) Marcia did whatever she could to make it all happen! Plus, we got all of our pictures after the wedding within about a month! Thank you for our gorgeous wedding pictures, its the best gift to have these to look back on forever!

If you're searching for a photographer, no need to search any further. You will not be disappointed with Marcia and her husband. She is so easy to work with and fun. She goes out of her way to relieve stress off your shoulders for your perfect day and the results at the end are a lot of wonderful pictures between the two of them. :) By the way, our daughter's wedding was at the Madonna Inn, which is a beautiful venue.

I would highly recommend Marcia & Michael for your wedding photographers. They were the photographers for my daughters wedding. They did an outstanding job! After all the time you spend planning your wedding day, when it's all over.. The only thing you have left are your wedding pictures. You want someone who will easily work with you, listen to your ideas, blend in to your wedding day and capture all the wonderful moments! Marcia not only takes the typical pictures you would expect, but also gets many candid pictures of the bride & groom, family and friends that help recreate your day through the pictures, that you can look back on. She also discusses ahead of time, cost and what to expect, so there are no surprises. It's difficult finding and picking all your vendors. I wouldn't look any further than Marcia & Michael for your photography needs, you will be so glad you did!,

Marcia is absolutely wonderful! We met several times before the big day to go over the timeline and a list of the shots we wanted. The day of, her and Michael showed up on schedule and took charge right away. I loved the way they were on top of everything and took amazing photos throughout the entire day. We have every family member and friend that attended our wedding. I honestly cannot imagine having anyone else take our wedding photos. They came out better than I ever thought possible. If you need true professionals that take amazing photos that will blow you away, then Marcia and Michael are your people.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
