    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!!

    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.

    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!

    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!!!!

    The Bigley Wedding at The Lakehouse Inn

    Magi, Scott & the Magdalena studios team were truly incredible to work with and we couldn’t have been happier with them! We first met Magi for our engagement pictures and her style and creative sense immediately struck us as special. Her general vibe immediately put us at ease and the engagement photos were a telling harbinger to what we would get on the wedding day (they were gorgeous!). On the wedding day, Magi and Scott couldn’t have been more easy-going and professional. Their overall attitudes immediately put us at ease and made the picture taking experience so easy. Then there’s the pictures themselves – there’s expectation and reality, and then there’s what they produced. It was truly incredible how perfect the pictures looked (and we’ve only seen the unedited versions so far). It looked like we were in promo shots of a multi-million dollar Hollywood movie (for a very, very small fraction of the price). We really could not recommend them more!! Thank you so much for making our special day something that we will truly never forget!

    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!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Magdalena Studios is the absolute best of the best! From the minute we met Magi, we just loved everything about her — her enthusiasm, positivity & radiant energy was contagious. We knew there was no one else we’d rather have capture our special day. During our wedding planning process, Magi was literally a godsend. She provided us with SO many helpful tips and recommendations, and even took the time to share little details from her own wedding! When our wedding day coincided with the pandemic, Magi & Scott were super supportive and helped fill our day with so much love. Our wedding photos were STUNNING, truly breathtaking. Their passion for storytelling shows in all of their beautiful work. Our wedding day would not have been the same without Magi and Scott!

    The Best!!

    Magdalena and her team were amazing. Every time one of my other vendors found out we had hired Magdalena, they would immediately say “oh she is the best!” We had her associate team and it was still pricey BUT it is worth every penny!

    The pictures were stunning and I cannot say enough good things about this company!

    Wonderful!

    Magi and her team were absolutely amazing on our wedding day. They truly could not have been better. Not only did they capture each moment so perfectly, but they also somehow managed to act as wedding planners when that role was needed. Megan and Ashley were always in tune to my needs as a bride. In fact, the first person to ask if I needed anything when we walked into our reception was Megan! They see the big picture on your wedding day. I can't believe how much they juggle and make it seem so seamless. They are always smiling and laughing with you. They just brighten the day and each moment even more than it already is!

    This all goes without saying how fabulous the photography itself was! They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera when we often don't feel that way. And their talents are unmatched. I would recommend Magdalena Studios to anyone and everyone!

    We couldn't imagine our day without Magdalena Studios!

    When my husband and I were first planning our wedding, finding the "right" photographer was at the top of our list.  We wanted someone that not only captured the emotions and happiness of that day but was easy to work with.  Magdalena Studios was recommended by a friend and was an easy choice after comparing to local photographers in the area.  We chose Magi's associate staff (Ashley and Karrie) and they couldn't have been better.  In addition to Magi helping us through our day of planning and schedule, we were able to have one-on-one time with Ashley prior to our day to make sure we were aligned on the vision for our photos.  The day of our wedding, Ashley and Karrie made our family and bridal party feel completely at ease and truly captured the beautiful moments of the day.  From start to finish, I couldn't imagine trusting anyone but Magi and her team. Our pictures were everything we wanted and more and can't wait to share for years to come!

    Magdalena Studios will exceed your expectations!

    We are so unbelievably happy we chose Magdalena Studios to be our photographers for our wedding day! Magi and her team made the whole process so incredibly easy from the start!! The entire planning process was so organized and I loved how they were always there to answer any question I had along they way, some not even related to photography!! Magdalena's blogs and tips were SO helpful every step of the way. I enjoyed Magi's company with a coffee date before the big day and was absolutely impressed with Magi and Scott on our wedding day!! They were an amazing team who made us feel so special and comfortable! They were extremely organized, friendly, and assertive to get everyone where they needed to be to stay on schedule! The day we received our photographs back was a very close second behind our actual wedding day. Our photographs turned out even more beautiful than we ever thought possible! The beauty of these pictures and the ease and thoughtfulness of Magi and Scott made it SO worth every penny! Magdalena Studios is fantastic!!!!!

    Gorgeous photos!

    We hired Magdalena Studios for our wedding in September and did a mini photo shoot down the shore and couldn't be happier with our photos. The team certainly worked some magic in ensuring that the photos were flattering and beautiful tokens of our day. Magi, Tori, and Amara photographed our wedding and they made us feel so comfortable and at ease! Magi is absolutely wonderful to work with and brings such positivity and beautiful energy to the day. (And she shoots in film in addition to the digital photos!)
