The easiest wedding decision you'll make!

There are no amount of words in any dictionary in the world to express the gratitude we have for April and Austin at Massei photography. Their photography talent speaks for itself in every one of their photos however, their superior photography service extends beyond that. Their professionalism, competence, and genuine care for their clients far supersedes expectation from a wedding vendor.

Their empathy in helping us navigate rescheduling our wedding multiple times due to the pandemic was unparalleled. I know this period must have been challenging for them as well however, they treated us with nothing but understanding, love, and flexibility.

Since the beginning I told my now husband that I believe your wedding photographer is the most important vendor. Your wedding day goes so quickly and the only time capsule you have are the photos that come from it. Receiving our wedding photos back brought tears to my eyes. They captured so many moments perfectly and although I have an exceptionally big family they were able to capture so many touching moments. Additionally, I couldn’t have dreamt of better photos of me and my now husband.

I truly believe we booked the best photographers in existence. They are worth every penny of investment. Their passion for their work is undeniable. They genuinely just want their clients to be happy and I can say if you book them as your photographers, they will absolutely produce your favorite photos that you’ll be able to enjoy until the end of time.

The best of the best

This was our second time working with April and Austin. Together they make the dream team! They made us feel comfortable and at ease the whole wedding day. We were blown away by our sneak peek pictures, they were incredible! We can’t wait to work with them again, and would highly recommend them for any/all photography needs!

Book these guys.

April and Austin were very flexible and great to work with! There was a surprisingly fast turnaround with our wedding pictures and we got just under 1,000 images. Communication was quick and professional. They were very easy to work with, gave great direction, helped pose us, and just really knew what to do to make our pictures the best they could be. They are probably the most chill people you'll ever meet. The pictures we received were completely worth the money. I have gotten many compliments on the pictures, and I really love them too. I shove them in the face of everyone I know! I look forward to working with April & Austin again in the future.

They make you feel like family!!!

My husband and I LOVED working with April & Austin. For our engagement session and our wedding, they were so helpful every step of the way. They handled themselves professionally, but also were willing to have fun and take risks. April has an eye for positioning and helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera by making sure she helps you even down to the infamous leg pop! The whole process was so organized & they were on top of the game from the second we contacted them. They made the awkward kissing-in-front-of-strangers feel comfortable. I could NOT recommend them more to any one looking for a great wedding photographer!!!

The Most Amazing Photographers

We cannot recommend Massei Photography enough! For starters, April and Austin are two of the nicest people we have ever met, but they are also incredible at what they do. We chose the wedding and engagement shoot package and it was the best decision we've ever made. They were so responsive from the time we inquired up until our photos were delivered. April was so helpful with choosing a location for our engagement shoot and even helped me decide on outfits. A lot of people aren't use to being in front of a camera for these kinds of pictures, but they truly make you feel so comfortable. April does an amazing job of telling you exactly what to do and is always looking out to make sure your hair, jewelry, and everything else is perfectly in place. They are unbelievably quick to edit and deliver your photos, but most importantly the photos they deliver are absolutely stunning. You would not believe the amount of compliments we have received on our photos and our decision to use them to capture our special day. We could not be happier with our engagement photos and wedding photos. We can't wait to shoot with April and Austin in the future!

Fun and professional and produce quality shots

I will use Massei Photography again in the future. We used them for our engagement shoot and wedding day. April & Austin are professional and take quality photos but they are also FUN to be around which makes the entire session fun and that translates into sincerely happy looking photos. Plus, ladies, April always makes sure your hair isn't in an awkward place or your pose doesn't look unnatural. Massei Photography is worth EVERY PENNY and they do an amazing job of making sure all your questions are answered promptly.

When you know, you know!

I can't say enough good things about April! You know how you get butterflies when you just know something is right? From the moment I reached out to April, that's exactly what happened. She is so professional and the photos her and Austin do are just beautiful! We can't imagine anyone else capturing our perfect day!

Speechless!!!

April and Austin are AWESOME!!!! Clay and I were married on 11/11/18 at the Princess Anne Country Club with the most artistic photographers by our side. They are a great pair and the photos they capture prove it all. Photos help share and tell your story and they did a great job capturing our love, family, and friends on our special day. Their turn around time is so quick that I actually received our wedding photos before my friend who got married a month before me. They have this amazing software were you can easily manage and send out links to everyone so they can see your entire camera roll. It is so well organized and every photo is better than the next, and I am someone that hates taking photos. My husband and I both come from large families and they were able to get us all situated on such a hectic day. I am so excited to see our leather wedding album and hope this review helps other brides out there, please reach out to them on your special day your will not regret it. I can not wait to work with them in the future for all our upcoming events! April & Austin I can not thank you enough for capturing great moments and making it so hard for me to choose my favorite top photos when sharing to others since I legit love them all!!

Phenomenal

April and Austin did a PHENOMENAL job! I would highly recommend them to capture your special day! April is my cousin and I was so happy to have had her and her husband capture our wedding day! They were so patient with my husband and I! They were able to work with my schedule when capturing my portraits! We had to reschedule due to the hurricane and April and Austin offered to do them on one of their days off! They are very professional and so fun to work with! We were married 10/20/18 and we received our wedding gallery within TWO AND A HALF weeks!!!! Our pictures are so crystal clear and so colorful it is incredibly insane!!! They captured every single detail I had told them about and it was such a joy looking through our gallery and really looking at all of the small details that a bride may not even notice the day of!!! It was also so wonderful having two photographers to capture the different angles!! I am so happy April and Austin have found such a rewarding career, they are so wonderful at it and work so well TOGETHER!!! You will not be sorry if you chose them to capture your BIG day!

Massei Photography is the BEST!!

To say Massei Photography was the absolute best would be a huge understatement. They were AMAZING!! April and Austin are the cutest couple and work great as a team. They were professional, responded promptly to text, calls, or emails, and most importantly made us feel comfortable. My husband and I thought posing and taking photos would be awkward and uncomfortable, however this was not the case with Massei Photography! We first met them when they were kind enough to make the drive to my family's house on the York River where I wanted to have our engagement photos taken. They told us the best time for lighting and were there exactly when they said they would be. They immediately made us feel comfortable and excited to take pictures. They are great at telling you where to stand and what to do so the pictures went smoothly and turned out amazing. We got sneak peeks the next day and all of our engagement photos back a WEEK after we took them! The engagement photos were BEAUTIFUL and made us super happy in our decision to book them and made us even more excited for them to capture our wedding day. They had us fill out a wedding day questionnaire so that on the day of the wedding they knew what photos we wanted, and the timeline we wanted to follow. On the day of the wedding they showed up on time and helped made the day run smoothly. I was SO impressed with how they were able to capture all the pictures we wanted and then some, while sticking to the timeline. We got wedding sneak peeks the next day and the full album of pictures TWO WEEKS after the wedding! The pictures from the wedding were absolutely beautiful and we cannot thank Massei Photography enough. We will definitely be booking with them in the future!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
