Margaret was excellent and the photos were beautiful!

In a previous review, I noted that Margaret did such a phenomena job the day of our wedding. She was so helpful in the details, capturing each moment, and making each part of the day something worth treasuring. Now that I’ve received some prints, I am all the more ecstatic! My grandmother and I teared up at the sight of them. So beautiful !

Working with Margaret was simply awesome! From our first conversation, I felt complete at ease with my choice! She was on top of everything, and made it so easy! I would recommend her to everyone who is looking for a photographer! She's the best!

Margaret was absolutely wonderful. We wound up not having the best weather that day but she managed to keep me calm and collected. She pulled a rainbow beach umbrella out of her trunk and I made it to our first look at the beach without getting wet! All of the pictures, from the little details of getting ready to the enormous family portraits, came out beautiful. And she has such a quick turnaround that you're able to relive it all in a few days through a slideshow. My family is still talking about how great they all turned out - and my cousin even booked her for her upcoming wedding. I would recommend Margaret and her crew in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much!!! Xo

Margaret was amazing, from beginning until the end. She helped with every part of the wedding day process. Blessed to have had her capture our day!

There isn't enough space to talk about how wonderful it was working with Margaret! Her pictures were exactly what we wanted and she was available throughout the whole process. I call her the mom whisperer since she kept mine calm before the ceremony. You cant go wrong with her!

We can't thank Margaret and her team enough for making our whole Wedding photography experience very magical!! She is extremely kind, organized and patient. They were very fun to work with and made us very comfortable on our big day. Margaret made some great suggestions to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding. Margaret was very accommodating to all of our specific photo requests, can't thank her enough for that!! She has an amazing eye and we LOVE LOVE LOVE how all of the pictures turned out!! We can't wait to have prints around our home! We highly recommend Margaret J Cotton to capture your memories 110%!!!

Lisa had originally seen Margaret's work and kept telling me how impressed she was with her sensibility. The day we met her in her home for our consultation she made us immediately feel comfortable. The warmth and genuine interest in our needs and our relationship impressed both Lisa and I. After we had a chance to view more of her work we knew we had found the right photographer for the biggest day of our lives.

Margaret listened to our wishes regarding timeline of the day and prepared us fully,
which alleviated any stress we were feeling about getting the right photos and enjoying our day. She met with us on the church grounds coached us and mapped out the best angles to shoot from so we would have a clear plan and be able to spend quality time with our family and friends.

The day of the wedding we were blessed with gorgeous weather, 70 degrees not a cloud in the sky- truly a beautiful blue sky. I had stayed with my best man at a hotel and Margaret sent her husband Dave who is her assistant and his assistant Leann to photograph us. Her husband Dave was so insightful and they made my best man and I feel so relaxed. His assistant was also helpful.

Margaret and her other assistant had shown up where Lisa was getting ready with her family. The patience and kindness they exhibited along with their sensibility and talent made everyone feel at ease. Margaret was able to capture the joy, anticipation and beauty of the day. Her photographs were able to tell the story of how my bride Lisa, her family and friends were feeling which was truly jubilant in preparing for the wedding ceremony.

When we all met at the church prior to the ceremony that day, she photographed my friends and family as well as myself right before going into the church. The ceremony and reception was beautiful and we remembered Margaret's coaching that had proven to lead to better photos and again made us both feel comfortable.

Margaret and Dave were fantastic!

MJ Cotton is a great photographer (and so is her husband and her assistants). She completely understood our vision for a simple and relaxed beach wedding day. She got some really beautiful photos without making us pose all day, and she quickly put together a slideshow for us to share with our family while she worked on the finishing touches of our prints and digital copies. Though there were definitely some hiccups, MJ rolled with the punches and everything turned out perfect. Would definitely recommend her to family and friends.

We are so pleased we chose Margaret for our wedding photography! She was enthusiastic, creative, and professional throughout the whole process. She gave us excellent advice on posing for photos, working with our families and friends for photos, and scheduling our whole day. Her photographs came out beautifully, especially our church photos and night shots by the water. She is a sincere lover of weddings and artistry, and she is a warm and accommodating person to work with.
