We are a husband and wife team… Mack & Chelsea. We’ve been growing our business since 2008, and continue to feel unbelievably blessed to be able to pursue our dream career in a world where not everyone gets that chance.
While neither of us has formal training in photography, our former careers as a graphic designer and a journalist gave us unique building blocks to create our own artistic style. We have a blast with our clients, but also take our business incredibly seriously, and are dedicated to top-of-the-line customer service and continued education.
McGowan Images is built entirely on word-of-mouth, and the vast majority of our clients hire us because a friend told them to check us out. We do not take those recommendations lightly, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the families who’ve invested in and encouraged us over the last several years.
We have two children… an adventurous boy named Jack, and a fiesty little diva named Dorothy. You’ll see them appear on the blog from time to time.
Mack loves building projects, steampunk design, and cooking good food.
Chelsea loves travel, nerdy conversations about pop culture, and eating whatever Mack is cooking.
Together, we strive to be entirely authentic both in our “real lives” and here in our little online home. We cherish the relationships photography has brought into our lives, and we consider ourselves better people for having been able to meet so many amazing couples.
We’re also completely open books… so if you’ve got a question about our business or our lives, feel free to shoot us an email. We’d love to hear from you!
We first met Chelsea and Mack when they were tabling at a wedding venue we toured at. Instantly, I knew they had great vibes and are very open minded and genuine people. Looking through their portfolio, I fell in love with how they are able to envision the entirety of the photo; the light, the poses, the background, everything. They were so amazing to work with! My fiancé generally dislikes being in front of the camera but they made us very comfortable. We had great conversation and laughed a lot. They walked us through posing and really captured our love on camera. We are so grateful!

These two are fantastic. They don't just take pictures, they really use the frame to compose artistic shots that pop so much better than someone who just "takes pictures." They're also super-fun, down-to-earth people which matters. You don't want blah people at your awesome day - they're guests, too! Chelsea and Mack are hot and their work is fire. Better get on that, stat!

McG is an anomaly when it comes to service, treating their clients like family and being as attentive as possible.
