Truly Amazing

I could not reccomend Clay and Maggie more. They were professional and easy to communicate with. They caught all the big moments, but also all the little ones. Maggie was amazing with helping me and my bridesmaids take good pictures getting ready (which was a feat considering how scattered we were). Clay did an awesome job capturing the guys getting ready.

Both our wedding photos and our engagement pictures are stunning all thanks to Clay and Maggie!

I can't say anything but wonderful things about Maggie and Clay! From the first day I met them I knew I had made the right choice. After meeting them for the first time I remember thinking wow... they genuinely care about getting to know me and I feel as if I am talking with friends! Not only are they wonderful people to be around but they are also very professional and go above and beyond to meet your every need and make you feel comfortable.

When it came time for our engagement photos they were flexible when we had to move the date to make sure our outdoor shoot would have all the wonderful fall colors. Not only that, but at the time Maggie was over 9 months pregnant and she was more than happy to still come out and walk around the park for our session! Taking pictures can many times be awkward but they made the entire process fun and enjoyable. Our pictures turned out absolutely perfect, and I felt like they were able to truly capture the essence of our personalities and relationship in every shot.

Here in three months they will be shooting my wedding, and I wouldn't want to be working with anyone else! They have been the best investment we have made by far and are worth every penny and more. They have a true love and talent for what they do, and you would be hard pressed to find better quality for a better price. I am in love with their artistic style and their ability to capture the beauty of the natural landscape in their pictures and use it to enhance each photo. Having an outdoor wedding this was very important to me and I found when looking around that very few photographers have this talent. I would highly recommend Clay Swanson Photography to any and everyone, and hiring them will likely be the best decision you make!

I can not say enough good things about Clay and Maggie. With our engagement photos we wanted to do something a little different and they had never done anything like it before and they made it happen. The photos also turned out AMAZING I am in love with them. If you are Newley engaged and are looking to book a photographer book them now. They are so easy to work with and will do anything to make sure you are happy with the outcome. I HIGHLY recommend.

Reviews are really important when it comes to photography and choosing the right venues and such for your dream wedding. I choose to meet with Clay Swanson Photography because of reviews left by other people and I was not disappointed. They were really accommodating with meeting us for an interview and for running around for our engagement pictures! They are super friendly and very easy to get along with. They are very professional but also make you feel like your just out taking pictures with friends. I highly recommend them. I cannot wait for my wedding day and I know I will be in good hands and have wonderful pictures and video to remember the day by! If your looking for photography definitely take the time to meet these guys, you won't regret it!

Clay and Maggie are amazing! We loved working with them! They were very accommodating and even offered to come to Wichita to take engagement photos! They seriously worked around my crazy busy schedule and fit us in for engagement photos two weeks before they had their first child! And let our new puppy tag along! I can't speak more highly of anyone! Additionally, they made us feel very comfortable through every step in the process. I probably priced 30 photographers, but could find no one better than them! Clay even told me to do this during our initial meeting. They truly want the best for their clients! Hiring them was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding!

I knew from the minute that I met Clay and Maggie that I wanted them to be our wedding photographer, and I can't say enough good things about them. We have gotten a crazy amount of compliments on how beautiful wedding and engagement photos turned out! More than just being fantastically skilled at capturing beautiful pictures, Clay and Maggie are fantastic all-around-people. Our wedding was fairly chaotic, but they did such an incredible job going with the flow. I could not be happier with their professionalism, quality of work, enthusiasm and how FUN they were to have with me on my wedding day. Best decision we made with regards to planning our wedding!

We are beyond grateful to have been able to work with Clay and Maggie! They're not only talented in what they do, but they are just overall great people! They're great at responding, they're professional, yet so personable.  It is truly like working with friends!

They offer a couple different packages. We chose the wedding package with came with a complimentary engagement shoot. With that, we got an hour and a half for the engagement shoot then both photographers all day for the wedding.

If you're looking to capture intimate, candid, and heartfelt moments of your engagement/wedding, look no further! They are the real deal, I promise you! We can't thank Clay and Maggie enough! Literally the BEST decision we made!

Thank you, Clay and Maggie, sooo so so much! We couldn't imagine our big day without you!
