Maggie is awesome!

Maggie shot my sisters wedding in May. After meeting Maggie, we knew that we wanted her to shoot our wedding as well.

Maggie is such an amazing photographer! Her photos are beautiful and capture genuine emotion. Not only is she great at her job, but she is also one of the most passionate, upbeat & positive people I have met. She instantly makes you feel comfortable and confident. Her smile is contagious and she makes taking photos so much fun!! Even our wedding guests commented on how fun she was :)

Simply the BEST!!

We are beyond grateful to have had Maggie as our wedding photographer! From the very first conversation, her warmth, energy, and joy-filled nature made us feel instantly comfortable. Beyond being the loveliest human, she's *so* good at what she does. Her eye for detail, her creativity, and expertise is pure magic. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. It was like reliving the entire day, but through the most beautiful lens possible. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer or a better person to share that day with. She truly felt like a part of the family, and we’ll treasure not only the photos but the whole experience of working with her. Highly, highly recommend!

Amazing engagement shoot!

Maggie was so wonderful to work with; she worked with my fiancé to surprise me for our engagement! She made the shoot so fun and comfortable, and she had so many great ideas for poses and backdrops. She sent us previews right away and asked for any feedback about editing to fit our vision! She was super flexible and responsive and gave us the most beautiful photos that were romantic and timeless. There were a few moments/shots I really loved after I saw our gallery and she included other options that were similar and/or color vs. black and white, which took some extra time and work. I’m so grateful for her making this such a special experience and can’t wait to use these for our save the dates and frame these for our home!

She's the clear choice!

Maggie is as kind as she is talented, and I cannot recommend her enough! Her work is very true to life, and she has an incredible eye for detail. I also appreciate that Maggie is patient and takes the time to put her couples at ease. Wedding days can be a lot - so busy and fast paced - and Maggie knows how to capture the most meaningful, fleeting moments in such an intentional and artful way. Maggie is a clear choice for timeless, true-to-life photography and will no doubt elevate your event!

Maggie, I really enjoyed working with to bring the Meadows at Mossy Creek project to life. The photos are absolutely stunning and I appreciate the calming, kind presence you brought, especially given all the weather challenges we faced. Can't wait to work with you again!

100/10 Photographer!

Maggie is the absolute best!! She came highly recommended after photographing one of my best friend’s weddings. Aside from how beautiful our engagement photos turned out, her energy made us SO comfortable. It felt like we had known her for years! Now back to the stunning photos she gave us…she has an incredible eye for what makes up a beautiful photo with lighting, background, and posing us perfectly! She was consistently professional through the whole process and incredibly reliable. I’ve already recommended her to a few friends and will continue to do so.

The PERFECT Wedding Photographer!

Maggie was BEYOND amazing. We could not recommend her & her team more highly! She was so eager to get to know us personally so that she would be able to capture our wedding perfectly.

Maggie is everything you could want in a photographer!

She is communicative, punctual, calming, professional, friendly, and brings the fun with her as well! She helped us with posing and made sure that she understood our vision from the start. Our photos are not just beautiful, they feel so tailed to us and she captured the most important people in our lives in such a special way. Investing in her is one of the best things we did in our engagement season! Highly recommend!

Amazing work

If you are looking for the best photographer, then you found them. Maggie and her team were exceptional and we are still overjoyed with our photos. Maggie is more than a photographer. She went over and beyond, taken on task that were not hers. She made sure we stayed on time and got from point A to B! She is a true gem and amazing soul. We can honestly say this was one of our best investments. We got sneak peeks two days after our wedding, and the photos are pure magic. Thank you Maggie and team for everything.

Amazing photographer to work with

Even beyond the thoughtfully composed and delicately edited artwork that is all the photos she captured, Maggie is just such a kind-hearted, relationally-oriented, fastidious, sweet soul. She truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND in her role as a photographer, eager to share her expertise in the planning of our wedding months before and the co-ordination of it day of! On top of that, we had a destination wedding, and she very professionally handled all the travel and other considerations associated with that. And again, HER PHOTOS! Every detail and moment she captured truly encapsulated the magic we felt on that special day. We are so grateful that we have these keepsakes to remember it just as we felt it on that day for years to come. Thank you so so much, Maggie (and Sam!)!!!!

The BEST photos!

I could not have picked a better photographer for the entire wedding season! From our engagement photos to the wedding and ceremony, Maggie captured the joy, love and memories of some of the most special times we will be able to look back on. She is so kind, fun, and easy to work with even if you are not typically a center of attention person. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs special memories captured!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
