The most beautiful photos I ever laid eyes on

I am absolutely speechless. Malaya captured the most beautiful photos I have ever seen! My husband and I are completely in love with every single one. She captured the best day of our lives in a way that truly reflects the magic and emotion of the moment, and now we have memories we can relive again and again. Beyond her incredible talent, Malaya was such a calming and positive presence throughout the day. My family had nothing but wonderful things to say about her, and she made us feel relaxed and special. We cannot thank her enough!

Timeless Wedding Photography

Malaya did such wonderful work as our wedding photographer - we highly recommend her!

We are not experienced with working with professional photographers. Nonetheless, Malaya made us and our families feel so at ease and natural during our wedding day photography. She knew how to be calming and also how to bring the right energy (and organization skills!) to help us and our families during our photo shoots.

Malaya is friendly and communicative - she took the time to answer all of our questions throughout the planning process, whether by phone or email. She worked effectively with our wedding planner and wedding party, so that we could focus on having fun during our wedding day. The quality of the work she delivered matched what we discussed during our interview discussions. Working with Malaya was a pleasure and we are so happy with the quality and timeliness (and timelessness) of her photography.

Thank you Malaya!

Amazing!

The absolute best photographer you could ask for. She’s just such talent to her photos, so modern yet cliche. And the best vibes you could ask for! Thank you!

Highly recommended

Malaya came through in a big way for our micro-wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the beginning we were so impressed with her portfolio, investment/pricing and communication. This was only our second professional shoot as a family and she made us look SO GOOD. Malaya's strength is natural lightning and using the natural environment to it's best advantage. The result for us was the most gorgeous set of authentic, ethereal photos to share with our friends and family. Thank you Malaya, for a fantastic experience!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
