For lack of a better word, Maura is perfect. She is such a talented photographer, but she was so much more than that. Firstly, she is generally an amazing person. Between being so supportive during all of our time together, very accessible, and just overall very nice. She provided vendor recommendations and was a fantastic help along the way. Second, she is so much fun! Between our engagement shoot and the wedding day, we feel that pictures can be difficult because there are so many and they can sometimes feel very stuffy. We did not feel this with her. She made us laugh and smile while having a great time taking amazing pictures. Finally, from a business perspective, she was so easy to work with. Between changes to our time, contract, pricing, it was so easy to work with her to make these changes. She was our favorite vendor to work with! I don’t think we can speak more highly about the person that she is and the quality of the pictures that we received. We hope to work with her again in the future!

We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have had Maura as our wedding photographer. From the moment we first spoke, her warm and friendly demeanor put us at ease, making us feel confident that she understood our vision for the day.

On the wedding day itself, Maura was an absolute joy to work with. She has an incredible ability to blend into the background while still capturing every precious moment. Her attention to detail and keen eye for candid shots made our album truly special. Every smile, tear, and laughter was beautifully documented, and we loved how she managed to capture the essence of our day.

The photos are stunning—rich in color and full of emotion. We particularly appreciated her creativity; the unique angles and thoughtful compositions made for breathtaking shots that we will cherish forever. Maura also provided us with a perfect mix of posed portraits and candid moments, showcasing the joy and love that surrounded us.

Additionally, her professionalism throughout the entire process was commendable. She was punctual, organized, and communicated clearly, ensuring that everything went smoothly. The turnaround time for the photos was impressive, and we were thrilled to receive our gallery sooner than expected.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely passionate about capturing love stories, Maura is the one to choose. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and the stunning memories she has given us. Thank you, Maura, for making our special day unforgettable!

I honestly couldn't have chosen a better photographer to capture my engagement and wedding day photos! Deciding to have Maura photograph our special day was the easiest decision my husband and I had to make. Our first conversation with her she made us feel so special and comfortable, it felt like we have been friends with her for years! If you are able to book Maura to capture your special day you are SO lucky. She is one of the kindest, hardworking, and talented people I've ever met! The photos she captured we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We are truly so lucky that we got to work with and got to form an amazing friendship with Maura, she is AMAZING!

Gosh, we feel so incredibly luck to have come across Maura and her amazing work. We got to work with Maura for our engagement session and also our wedding day photos.

A little background: The groom and I are not the most natural in front of a camera. We weren't sure how the picture part of this whole wedding ordeal was going to go, but boy oh boy did Maura hit it out of the park for us. From the jump , she made us feel so incredibly comfortable (and also made the experience fun!). Her guidance on how we should pose was so chill and helpful and she's overall just an absolute joy to be around.

Our friends and family were FLABBERGASTED from our engagement photos from Maura and our wedding pictures were no different! I can't express my gratitude enough for the amazing job and person Maura is. If you have the chance to work with her please do! She will be one of the highlights you remember from your day!

I cannot recommend Maura more highly. Hiring her for our 11/4/23 wedding was one of the best decisions I've, honestly, ever made in my life. She books up fast, so if you're reading this, you should contact her, like right now.

When we initially reached out to her, she provided us with two full galleries of her work - one was even from our venue! Our engagement photo shoot was so much fun and a great way to get to know her. We absolutely loved everything about our experience - from our initial outreach all the way through to receiving our full gallery. She was so much fun, was genuine in her interest in getting to know us, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her passion, personality, and overall approach to photography are next level.

She's incredibly organized, attentive, communicative, and timely. We received 26 photos the morning after our wedding and got our full gallery in less than 5 weeks. The full gallery has sooooooo many photos - way more than we could have imagined! She captured everything we asked for and more & the quality is impeccable. Her ability to connect with others and truly capture authentic moments is everything you could ask for in a wedding photographer. Also - her second shooter for the wedding day, Abbie, was amazing and captured some incredible shots (their chemistry/friendship is also adorable and made the day even better).

Photography was the most important wedding vendor for me, as your magical and beautiful day only happens once. I spent a lot of time researching photographers, paying attention to their editing and shot style, other galleries, and reviews. From the very first call with Maura we knew she was the perfect fit - she was honest and upfront about her ways of working, was prepared for every question we had, and was perhaps more excited for our big day than we even were! Our engagement session was one of the most fun experiences I've had with my now husband - truly felt like a date night along the lake that just happened to be photographed! Maura's energy and direction made it easy to feel relaxed and I find myself still obsessing over how those photos turned out. They made for the perfect Save the Dates, Wedding Website, and Guest Book images. For our wedding day, her energy was truly unmatched - honestly, she's the best hype woman! I also really loved her easy demeanor and go with the flow approach to locations, shots and general timing as it made every moment of photos feels so special and unique to us - a sacred part of the wedding day vs. something we had to get out of the way. Don't get me wrong, it was all rooted in a rigorous shot list, preference sheet, and timeline - which she had thoroughly memorized! My friends and family couldn't get over how seamlessly Maura flowed through the dance floor, capturing photos at every turn but feeling like one of the guests. I was sad to see her leave for the night - she truly felt like family! Her second shooter, Abbey, was also an incredible part of our vendor team - when my husband started to get a bloody nose during our first look, she didn't hesitate to jump into mom mode and help get it cleared up! And finally, Maura's turnaround time is insanely quick - on top of giving us tons of previews the week after! I think it was about 1.5 months after the wedding that the full gallery dropped - INSANE! I truly cannot thank nor recommend Maura Black Photography enough - her professionalism will elevate any vendor team!

Maura is the absolute best!!! She is so knowledgeable in her field of work and truly cares about you as a couple. She makes the entire process easy, fun, and comfortable. We worked with Maura both for our engagement photos and for our wedding and we are so happy we got the chance to. She has a passion for what she does and it absolutely shows when she is working with you, your family and friends, and bridal party. Maura works with you to make sure you are getting exactly what you want out of your photos including any special requests. She goes above and beyond to make sure every single aspect of your special day is captured. Not only is she fantastic behind the camera, but she also makes you feel and look beautiful while taking photos by giving feedback such as "you look absolutely stunning," which to me made a huge impact because it made me feel more comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. She also gives you sneak peeks of your photos the day after you take them, which is great because it makes you even more excited to see the other amazing photos she took throughout the day. We cannot wait to see all the amazing photos she took on our wedding day!! Maura was an absolute blast to work with and such a fun, loving, caring, and energetic person. We loved working with her and cannot wait to hopefully work with her again in the future. If you are looking for a photographer, Maura is your girl, and you will not be disappointed!!

Maura knows how to make the wedding process fun. From our engagement pictures to our wedding day, every minute that Maura was there was a fun and memorable experience. She's so down to earth, goofy, care-free, everything that we wanted in our wedding pictures and on our wedding day. She became part of our wedding party and friend group on our wedding day! We truly couldn't ask for a better photographer - she not only slays at her craft, but she also makes the entire experience stress-free. She respected the fact that we wanted playful pictures and not posed ones, and they turned out beautifully. I cannot express how great Maura is, we would recommend her to anyone! Ryan and I cannot thank you enough, Maura!

There are no words to describe how incredibly wonderful Maura is to work with. She's a kind, patient, TALENTED, and incredibly fun photographer. We're so happy we found her to shoot both our engagement photos and wedding. She was very thoughtful and helped us feel at ease in front of the camera, which was very much needed! Maura also answered all my questions (as an anxious bride, there were plenty!) throughout the planning period and was a very helpful source of information. Finally, her work is amazing. From having sneak peeks to us a day later to delivering a gallery full of amazing, high-quality photos in a timely manner, we couldn't have asked for more.

Please don't hesitate to hire this amazing person for your wedding!

Maura is hands down our favorite vendor that we got to work with. Maura is so personable and makes you feel like a priority when it comes to your wedding day. Her work is incredible, our engagement shoot was so perfect we had TOO many options for our save the dates and we just got our full gallery from the wedding back and we are in LOVE! Thank you so much Maura for capturing our love on our special day!
