About

Welcome to Magnolia Photography. We're Jana and Michele. We love everything there is to love about weddings, photography, couples and family. We've been known to bust out in 80's song lyrics during engagement shoots, roll around in the mud to get that perfect shot and break it down with crazy Uncle Lou. If you want us to just show up, take your pictures and leave, you may want to find another photographer.

We like to spend time with you and your fiancée (and your dog if you have one), whether it be at your house, Starbucks (hint), or wherever you feel most comfortable. We want to get to know you and most importantly, your personalities. Getting to know you is going to help us make the photographs of your session truly special.

The number one most important thing to us is that you are completely, 100% comfortable with us on the day of your wedding or shoot. We want you to be so comfortable that you almost forget we're there.

Captured the Most Absolute Breathtaking Photos of our Special Day

Jana and her team are the absolute best of the best!! She was the first vendor I called after my fiance and I chose our date. I saw the special care she and her team took of my friends during their weddings and knew I wanted her to capture our special day. Jana is so personable, organized, learns everyones' names, takes great care of you, knows how to run a room in the most polite/efficient way, and her attention to detail is impeccable. She is so thoughtful and even mailed dog treats for our dogs (who were part of the wedding) when she mailed copies of our photos. After it's all said and done, you not only have breathtaking photos to relive your magical day, but you also have a best friend. I would highly recommend Jana and her team over and over again!

The best vendors

I cannot say enough about how much I love Jana and the Magnolia team. She became my best friend on my wedding day. She learned everyone’s names, was extremely organized, and made me feel so comfortable and cared for. My bustle broke throughout the night, and she helped me pin it, sew it, and finally, when it wouldn’t stay, she helped me change into my second dress. She was such a comfort throughout the wedding night. She checked on me, checked on my mom, checked on my bridesmaids. OH - and she took the most beautiful wedding pictures! I feel so lucky and grateful to have found Magnolia Photography for my wedding!

Our favorite vendor! Highly recommend!

Jana was THE best photographer. She was personable and learned the wedding party and family names so she could better instruct everyone for pictures. She was AMAZING. I can't say enough good things about our experience with her. And of course, the pictures were unbelievable and she turned them around so quickly. By far our favorite wedding vendor. She went above and beyond what a typical photographer would do. I highly highly recommend Magnolia Photography!

September 5th Wedding

If you are looking for an amazing photographer that will make sure that you are comfortable and also have every picture you could ever imagine for your big day you have found them!!! I booked Magnolia Photography last year for our 2020 Wedding and Jana was with us every step of the way. She honestly is more like family now! I was extremely nervous about our engagement photos (because we have never taken professional photos) and she made it so comfortable and easy and they were stunning !! Our wedding photos are so beautiful and I can not stop looking at them. Michelle and Jana got such great footage and I could not have imagined the day without them.

Magnolia Photography helped me enjoy my wedding day so much more!

b\\If you are in the market for an incredible wedding photographer—congratulations, you just found the one!
In all seriousness, I cannot RAVE enough about how fantastic Jana and her team is. My fiancé and I were engaged long distance (very hard, do not recommend!) so I was planning our entire wedding remotely from Arizona. From my initial phone call with Jana, it was very clear that she cared so much about not only our wedding day but also me as a person! From the incredibly generous offers to go cake testing on my behalf while I was out of state, to the amazing recommendations she gave for vendors and other services I needed, I felt so taken care of even before the wedding, which made the process far more enjoyable! On the day of, Jana made me and our whole bridal party feel so comfortable and encouraged us to show our personality in the photos, allowing for everyone to genuinely enjoy themselves and the day. Even during the reception when I took my heels off and was walking around barefoot, Jana did not hesitate to run to her car to get me a pair of her own personal boots to wear, haha! Many photographers can take incredible photos, but the experience that was provided by the Magnolia team far out shines the rest. All this to say, Magnolia Photography is outstanding—our wedding photos couldn’t have been more beautiful and Jana is amazing and was essentially my 7th bridesmaid, and I hope she can be yours too!

Best day ever!

Magnolia Photography is the absolute best! Jana and Michele are great and made our pictures so fun. They are always up for trying new and adventurous photos and they know how to make your dreams come to life. They even got my husband to "smile with his teeth" in our wedding photos and I couldn't even get him to do that! 100% recommend!

Amazing and flexible

Would 100% recommend! Michele was my photographer for my Greenville, NC wedding and did an amazing job. Whenever I needed something or had a change in plans, she was super accommodating and my pictures turned out amazing. I have also been in weddings Magnolia has done and they have always done an amazing job and are a pleasure to work with!
