Claudia was absolutely incredible! Our day would not have been the same without her. The big day goes so fast that you don’t have the time to absorbe everything that you had planned, but thanks to my amazing wedding photographer, I could see every moment and every little detail... my wedding pictures are just perfect! Claudia went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly with the photography schedule the day of. I am eternally grateful for her warmth, efficiency and kick ass attitude for our wedding. My entire family is still raving about how Claudia was the best wedding photographer. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It best money we spent on the wedding! You will not be disappointed if you hire her!

Claudia is professional, responsive, and extremely talented. As you can see by her portfolio of pictures her and her blog, she takes incredible shots. But she is also incredible to work with, very collaborative, and has great calming energy on the big day. We got a package that includes an engagement photo shoot. Very very happy with both sets of photos. See some of our wedding photos here: https://www.claudiamcdadeweddings.com/claudia-mcdade-weddings/molly-greg
Highly recommend!!!!!

We absolutely loved working with Claudia McDade Photography, from the very beginning. Because we were out of town planning our wedding, we interviewed her over Skype. That was a huge plus for us because of her flexibility, but also it was an indication of her understanding/mastery of technology. While Skype doesn't seem like a big deal as far as mastery of technology, there are some photographers that have no clue how to use Skype! Nonetheless, we first met Claudia in-person at our engagement shoot. A week, or maybe even a few days before the shoot, I finally figured out what we wanted in a shoot. Because we loved to travel, I emailed Claudia to let her know that we wanted a travel theme, specifically mentioning doing the shoot at a local airport hangar. She called around to local airports, and when she couldn't get what we were looking for, she came back with an incredible alternative. Our engagement photos were to die for! They looked as if they should've been in a magazine. We have gotten so many compliments on the photos and they were truly stunning. One of the things I observed during the engagement shoot and during the wedding is that Claudia doesn't necessarily take a lot of photos... well I guess she does take a lot. But she knows what she wants, and will have you take two or three photos, and with those two or three photos she will have gotten the perfect shot. I also loved how comfortable she makes you feel. She has poses in mind, and she shows you them, and when you're shooting she gives you feedback. She makes you feel as if you're a model and she's shooting you for Vogue. One thing that I'd heard from a lot of friends going into the wedding planning process was to send a shot list to the photographer - because the photos will be mostly all that you have to remember the day. I've heard and read wedding photographer horror stories. One person said that she asked the photographer to get photos of her family, and instead she got a bunch of photos of people she barely knew on the dance floor. Another person didn't get their wedding photos for months. Claudia was none of this. We asked for photos of every table at the reception, we got that. We asked for photos of people dancing, we got that. We got EVERYTHING that we asked for and more. She goes above and beyond, and gave us far more than what we expected, in a VERY timely fashion. She was incredible and we couldn't be happier. You will get what you want and much more with Claudia McDade Photography. And I should also note, she was very affordable.
