Magdalena was one of the BEST part of our wedding!

Arianna was AMAZING! From start to finish, she made everything feel easy and fun. She was super organized but never made us feel rushed or stressed. What really blew us away was how she embraced every part of our vision, even the unconventional stuff, and made it look effortless. She even hopped on the boat with us to capture some of the most incredible shots of the day! That level of dedication is rare, and we appreciated it so much.
The photos are beyond anything we imagined. They’re natural, beautiful, and truly capture the vibe of our wedding. We’ve gotten so many compliments, and honestly, we can’t stop looking at them ourselves. If you want a photographer who’s flexible, creative, and will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, Arianna is the one. You NEED her on your wedding day!

Absolutely obsessed!!!

From the beginning, I knew our wedding photographer would be one of the most important vendors we booked. The memories last a lifetime and are worth the investment. Magdelena Studios was the best vendor for the job! Everyone at the Studio is super friendly, professional, and responds quickly. After we booked, we were matched with Casey as our photographer. She was the perfect fit for us and simply incredible to work with. At our engagement photos session, Casey instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and on our wedding day, everything went seamlessly. Casey helped us pose naturally, stuck to our timeline, and made sure we got all the shots on our list. Our second photographer, Sophie, was super sweet and helpful as well. Casey's care and attention to detail is second to none. I put together a Pinterest board of my inspo shots, and at both our engagement session and our wedding day, Casey pulled up specific photos and then posed us accordingly to truly capture my vision. We already got our previews, and we are totally in love. I can't wait to see the rest! Huge thanks to Casey, Sophie, and the whole team!

Photographer of my dreams!

I had been following Magdalena Studios instagram page for years and knew when I got married I wanted to hire them for my wedding. When I had my phone call with Magi after I got engaged, I felt like I was talking to one of my friends; she is super friendly and easy to chat with & I hired her immediately! She was the first vendor we booked! Ashley was my lead photographer for my wedding on 02/10. She did our engagement shoot as well and we loved every minute of it! On our wedding day she made me feel so comfortable and I actually enjoyed being the center of attention! My husband doesn't love getting his picture taken and even he was smiling. My second shooter was Arianna and she was super personable and great to work with. Both Ashley & Arianna made us feel comfortable and we never felt like our photos were too forced or posed. I am SO in love with the sneak peeks I've already received and can't wait to get my full album! Overall, Magdalena Studios was really easy to work with & I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. I'm so grateful we have these amazing pictures to relive our best day! 100% would recommend :)

Great team and stunning photos!

We're so happy we chose the Magdalena team for our wedding November. We had interviewed a few photographers and didn't really "click" with any of them. We loved when talking to Magi that she was warm but also businesslike and to the point. Leading up to the day, we really appreciated how simple and streamlined the process was. Day of, we loved Liz and Tori SO much. Liz is hilarious and her personality just totally fit our vibe. We sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera and she made us so comfortable and was just so much fun. Tori was super sweet and we loved her calm energy. Most importantly, our photos are absolutely stunning and exceeded expectations!!

Magdalena Studios is the absolute BEST of the Biz!

I could write a book about how amazing Magdalena Studios is, and how grateful we are to have had them for our 9/17/22 Linwood CC Wedding! From start to finish, the process was super easy and stress-free, especially so being that we were a last minute add-in. Magi and her team really do an amazing job of making your wedding feel like the special experience that it is, and also tailor the experience to each couple through fun questionnaires, and a few phone calls at different intervals (Arianna was so helpful and pleasant!). Kelee was our main shooter and she was AMAZING. She was so helpful leading up to the big day in making sure she understood exactly the FEELING we wanted, our timeline, and any special shots, etc. that we wanted. The day of, Kelee was on-time, professional, efficient, and so FUN. We were nervous about being awkward in pictures, but she truly made posing effortless and was SO encouraging (we had multiple people comment that she was the best hype woman ever & we agree!) She made great suggestions about different shots, location, lighting, etc. It was a plus that she knew our venue very well too! She also did a great job in managing our large and fairly rowdy bridal party. We stayed on time, got everything we wanted, and had SO MUCH FUN doing it. Kelle – you’re amazing and it is so clear that you love what you do and give your absolute all to your couples – thank you so much! The images themselves were absolutely STUNNING, and we received them so quickly on the easy-to-use portal. I had very vibrant florals and it was important to me for the pictures to be true-to-color, but the Magdalena style is truly timeless – not overedited or blown out – just simply beautiful and of the highest quality. You need not look any further than their Instagram to see just how gorgeous their photos are! I can’t imagine having a better experience with a photography team. Would highly highly recommend Magdalena Studios to photograph your special event! Thanks again!

Photographer of my dreams!!!

Before I got engaged I had seen photos of Magi&teams work and was in awe- I just knew whenever the day came they were who I wanted to capture my wedding. The night we got engaged they were the first vendor we reached out to. Hiring Magdalena Studios was one of the best decisions we made. Kelee was our lead photographer and from the moment we met her for our engagement photos she just felt so familiar and we were so comfortable with her. (I’m sure most people understand the struggle of having a guy enjoy taking and hour & half of professional photos) My fiancé (now husband) enjoyed the entire engagement shoot, and was in awe when we got the photos back. The engagement photos alone, made our families (and us) emotional and we had so many comments from friends and guests who had seen the photos on our wedding website about how amazing they were. In between engagement session and the wedding I actually also did a headshot session with Magi because that’s how amazing their whole team is (the aesthetic is everything and you can’t go wrong with any of their photographers) We added on rehearsal coverage and had Kelee the night before the wedding which was amazing to get some photos that we maybe wouldn’t get the next day, or just some different portraits of my husband and I. Everyone at the Welcome Dinner came up to me to tell me how absolutely great Kelee was. When wedding day came we had Mike as our second shooter with the guys and my husband kept saying how great he was and how all the guys were relaxed and comfortable during their get ready and groomsmen photos. (Again, this is a huge testament to have 8 guys enjoy taking photos) Kelee was with me wedding morning after doing our details shots and was so calm and on it for every shot she wanted to get- I was completely at ease when she arrived. We got our previews back the other day and I have no words. Kelee was amazing to work with- our schedule went so smoothly and the photos are absolutely breathtaking. Magdalena Studios was a wedding decision I would make everytime if I had to do it all over again, and my husband is already talking about how he wants to have them take more photos of us and future milestones for years to come. 100/10 would recommend.

Magi & Scott are a dream team!

Magi and Scott shot our wedding in May in Lancaster, PA. From the very start, Magi was so responsive and professional! She is so sweet and you can tell she loves her job so much. The whole experience from start to finish was seamless, sophisticated and so much fun! Their client portal is awesome, and allows you to fill out your wedding vision, ideas and even describe all the photos you want in detail. Our wedding day was HOT, it ended up being 95 degrees in May, something none of us really expected. Magi and Scott were so good at staying on track and they got all the photos done on the shot list in no time. It was so quick and painless, and was exactly the organization and efficiency that we needed in the heat. The wedding party and guests all loved Magi & Scott too. We received our gallery about a week ago, and we were so happy with both the gallery delivery time and all the photos! We have such a good mix of classic timeless photos and candid photos, along with all the little wedding details. Photography is so important to me, and Magi and Scott were 100% worth the investment. We cannot wait to choose our photos for our heirloom album!

Best decision

From start to finish, I was completely at ease with every member of the staff. Planning out our timeline, selecting our package, and even being in front of the camera was stress free and fun! We are so happy with the beautiful shots that captured every moment of our day. Would highly recommend!!!

Loved everything about them!

Magi and her team are truly INCREDIBLE. Magdalena Studios has to be my most favorite vendor we hired for the big day. Magi is so attentive and has created an amazing business with an awesome team. We worked with Ashley for our wedding day photos and I just absolutely love her. At the end of the night, I asked when I could see her next because she’s just that awesome of a person. She is so talented, so sweet and made sure we had fun all day. AND the photos she took are literally breathtaking. I would recommend hiring Magi and her team 10/10 times. Thank you!!!!

Best in the business!

Magdalena Studios is the best of the best!! Magi is a joy to work with, she’s on top of absolutely everything and her team is incredible. Our pictures are beyond gorgeous and better than we could’ve ever hoped for. We worked with Kelee who we absolutely love. She’s so amazing at what she does whilst somehow managing to be so kind and fun - it was honestly like hanging with one of our friends! Paula was our second photographer and spent the majority of the day with the guys and their pictures came out perfect. She managed to make a group of guys who don’t like getting their pictures taken, look like models. Their getting ready pictures brought me to tears - I felt like I was there with them! I could go on and on singing the praises of Magdalena Studios, but all I can say is - book them!! You won’t regret it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
