Maggie and Betty exceeded our expectations as wedding photographers. They were beyond kind, so warm, and lovely to work with. I can not imagine our wedding day being captured by anyone else. They made myself, the groom, wedding party, and family all feel so comfortable and confident. Additionally- everything ran smoothly and we didn’t have to waste any of our precious wedding day hours! They were a huge part of making our day so perfect.Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
Oh Kayla, thank you so very much for such wonderful words. We loved every single moment with you, Jayson and your entire family & friends. We are honored to have been chosen to be a part of your most beautiful day. Hugs. -

Betty and Maggie were the best photographers we could’ve asked for. As soon as we had our engagement session I knew we would click. They captured every magical moment at our wedding and kept the day flowing without a hitch. I can’t recommend them enough! Amazing! -

I can not say enough positive things about Maggie and Betty. They were an absolute DREAM to work with. They were responsive to our emails prior to the wedding. On our wedding day I felt so comfortable and confident with them. My husband and I LOVED working with them. They gave us great direction that made taking pictures feel so easy. They’ve sent us a few dozen preview pictures already (it’s only been a week!) and they look positively STUNNING.Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
Thank you, Sarah! Your day was a DREAM! We loved every minute spent with you, Adam, and your tribe! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of such a wonderful day. PLEASE stay in touch! -

We were so lucky to have Maggie and Betty as our photographers. Not only are our photos stunning, but they were amazing people to work with. Our engagement shoot had to be rescheduled multiple times due to weather, and they were very accommodating and helpful in suggesting alternative dates/locations for us. They were more than happy to include our dog in the engagement photos, and did a great job at photographing her as well. On our wedding day, Maggie and Betty were a joy to have around. They are calm, fun, and professional. They gave us great direction and made it easy for us behind the camera. We couldn’t have been happier. 100% recommend!Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words. And thank you for choosing us to be a part of your AMAZING day. We loved every minute we spent with you tow! -

Perfection!
We cannot say enough kind words about Betty and Maggie. We used them for our engagement photos and our wedding. They found the perfect locations for us for our engagement photos and their encouragement and cues lead to an amazing portfolio of photos. For the wedding, they thoughtfully worked with us to design a timeline and a plan that allowed us to enjoy our wedding day and the resulting pictures are elegant and timeless. They are true artists and also such kind people that were a joy to be around on the big day. We'll treasure them forever and cannot recommend them enough!Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
Your kind words have touched our hearts. We are grateful to know you and honored to have been chosen to be a part of your wedding day. Much love to you both.

Michele Sent on 05/18/2022The BEST photographer that will make your wedding extra fun
Maggie and her team were such an awesome part of our big day! Despite the rain, they kept things super positive and fun and got the most AMAZING photos. Hate being in front of the camera? Not to worry because Maggie provides the simplest cues to make everything look so genuine and just flat out real. They captured all the best moments of the day and were so flexible and adaptable to the weather and venue. Not to mention that they worked extremely well with our videographer team and always communicated well. Overall, we are so thankful that we chose Birds of a Feather photography and we love that we get to relive our big day over and over again through their incredible photos.Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
Thank you for your kind words! We loved being a part of your special day! NEVER be afraid of being in front of a camera....you're stunning! Please keep in touch with us! -

Cannot recommend enough!
Betty and Maggie were truly unbelievable on our wedding day and throughout the entire process. They're both incredible sweet and cool people (mom and daughter) and really felt like family who truly cared about making our wedding day a success. Throughout the entire process they were really fantastic. I planned our wedding by myself (ambitious I know) and they were super responsive to all my emails with questions, proposed timelines, etc. Maggie took the time to walk through my proposed day of timeline with me on quite a long phone call and pointed out considerations I hadn't thought of like timing of flowers, first look, importance of getting makeup done on time, and more. From the engagement shoot we knew right away that we picked the right team! My husband is not super into having his photo taken and they made him look like a natural and the pictures were gorgeous. By the time the wedding came he was well trained (HIGHLY recommend doing an engagement shoot!). On the day of the wedding, we felt like we were with in the absolute best hands. They kept the show running and orchestrated the first look amazingly. Can't say enough about how wonderful they were and how much fun I had doing couple's portraits! In terms of the actual photos we received, just look at their body of work, which speaks for itself. When I browsed their website and IG page I immediately fell in love with their style that captures the beauty of the day and all the wonderful emotions that come with it! They gave us a good amount of photos really quickly after the wedding (I think it was 1-2 days or sooner) which I wasn't even expecting, but so nice! When we got the full album back, I was so happy. The portraits were beyond stunning and we got a great mix of the atmosphere of the day and pictures of our family and friends too. I'm glad I invested in photography because these are pictures I'll look back on forever. I did A LOT of research on DC area photographers and just trust me when I say you will absolutely not regret booking with these wonderful ladies! They will make you feel so at ease during the day (worth its weight in gold) and you'll get amazing photos. I will think fondly of them forever :) Thank you SO much Maggie and Betty!Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
Thank you, Lilly! It was our pleasure and honor to capture all of the beautiful moments of your special day. We are privileged to have both of you, and your wonderful family/friends, be a part of our life's journey. We will treasure our time together and look forward to continuing our relationship with you. Hugs and thank you for trusting us. Betty & Maggie -

Maggie and Betty are the best! In addition to taking the most gorgeous engagement and wedding photos we have every seen, they were incredibly helpful in the timeline planning and providing shot list recommendations. Worried you might feel shy/uncomfortable in front of the camera? Maggie provides all the right cues and guidance to get flattering shots and make the whole experience effortless and fun! We are so glad we went with Birds of a Feather for our wedding!Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
We're so grateful to you both for choosing us, trusting us with your photos, and for being so kind. It was a wonderful experience; we are honored and privileged to be witness to your love for each other, your family, and your friends. Please keep in touch! Hugs! -

Jami Sent on 11/17/2021Stunning Photos!
I did not have a backup photography team in place in case Betty and Maggie were not available because I knew I would change my date to make sure they could photograph my wedding! That is how confident I am in their abilities. Betty and Maggie are so easy to work with and make taking photos feel natural to someone who has never taken professional photos. They planned out the entire wedding shot list and made everything go so smoothly. The photos they took are absolutely breathtaking. You won't find a better photography team!Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
We hope you know just how much we love you and Archie! We were thrilled to be a part of your day. We were honored to be witness to your vows and capture the many moments of love shared between you both; as well as your family and friends! Thank you for your kind words and for giving us the privilege of being a part of your day. We love you both! -

Book them asap
Words cannot describe how amazing these women are. They not only captured our day perfectly, but they made those formal portraits fly by. One of my fears was feeling like I was going to be taking pictures all day and missing my actual wedding. Not with Maggie and Betty. They help create a timeline/photo list to make sure you get the photos you want, but also enjoy your day. They felt like one of our guests and were efficient and so charming to be around. Several of my guests complimented how they loved our photographers and a few are even reaching out to book them for their upcoming wedding. If you want your formal portraits and candid moments captured these ladies are more than worth. We also got our full gallery in under two weeks. You would never know they are working crazy hours/are super busy because they are nothing but excited/positive to be around. They bring great energy and professionalism to your day. Wish we could have a wedding every year to keep hanging out them. I couldn't recommend them more.Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
Emily, You are just the sweetest! Thank you so much for your kindness and for trusting in us. We love you & Joe. Your families and ALL of your friends were such fun and easy to work with. It was wonderful to have two ceremonies to celebrate you and your love. Please, please keep in touch with us. Hugs. -

I don't have enough good words to describe how amazing Betty and Maggie are. Not only are they supremely talented photographers and editors, they are SO efficient and great at working with people. We had a tight timeline at our venue and they were able to squeeze in so many great photos in a variety of locations - they got all of our wedding party photos out of the way before the ceremony so that everyone could enjoy cocktail hour, and breezed through our family portrait session. They knew exactly what to say to get everyone to relax and enjoy the photo taking process, and the results are absolutely incredible!
This mother/daughter team is so sweet and genuine; you feel like you're a part of their family just by working with them. I have no doubt that we will be hiring them again in the future for portrait sessions, other special occasions, etc...Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
THANK YOU! We loved every minute with you both and your entire family and friends! Please, keep in touch with us! -

Liz D. Sent on 07/06/2021The BEST Photographers. Look no further!
Look no further, this is the best photography duo you will ever find. My husband and I are so fortunate to have found Birds of a Feather photography. We originally worked with Betty and Maggie for our engagement shoot in 2019 and were blown away by the quality of their photographs and how effortless the whole shoot felt. We planned to get married in Hawaii in 2020, but COVID-19 had other plans. Instead, we ended up planning a June 2021 wedding in DC in a total venue switch. Once the venue had changed, the first thing we did was call Betty and Maggie to see if they'd be available for our wedding. They were (thankfully). My oh my, best decision we made! Betty and Maggie are so incredible. They made our big day SO special and effortless. As the daughter of a single mother, their mother-daughter dynamic is one that puts me instantly at ease. Their organizational skills made our wedding day feel so calm and collected. They planned exactly when, where, and how they would do each of their shots...taking the guessing game away! Their attitude put us at ease and made us feel comfortable. In the case of inclement weather, Maggie already had a plan B, C, and D...ensuring our day would be amazing regardless of mother nature. Their dynamic ensures that 1 photographer captures the traditional shot, while the other captures the 'candid' shot. The result = pure magic. We are so pleased to have over 600+ AMAZING photos of our wedding day that truly capture us as a couple. Thank you so much, Maggie and Betty. We love you both!Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
Oh, Liz....we were honored to be a part of your day! We can honestly say that spending time with you, Sean, your family, and your friends were the best thing to happen to us due to COVID. YOU were stunning, Sean so incredibly handsome and your day was PERFECT! We loved every minute spent with you! Thank you for your kind words and your love! PLEASE keep in touch with us! -

Sarah Sent on 06/13/2021Outstanding!
I don’t even know where to begin with this review, simply put - Betty and Maggie are the BEST team you can ask for to photograph your big day. They are kind, professional, and the perfect pair to have by your side. They took such time and care with us and it shows in their beautiful photos. We were speechless when we saw a preview of our wedding pictures - they captured every emotion of our day perfectly. Betty and Maggie made all our camera-shy guests and family feel at ease during portraits and for that we are so thankful. You cannot make a better choice for your big day than to book Birds of a Feather.Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
Sarah...what a joy it was to be a part of your day! We are honored to have been your photographers! Your friends and family were so kind, welcoming, and fun! We hugged, laughed, and chatted with your sweet family and guests as if we were old friends, all while capturing the sweet moments of your special day. Thank YOU for such an amazing experience. We wish you and Brett ONLY the best and we hope never to lose touch with you both! Hugs! -

Phenomenal Team! Don’t Wait… Join The flock!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
There isn’t a better photographer duo out there! Betty and Maggie go out of their way to make their couples extremely comfortable. I do not have enough words to put together how amazing and talented these ladies are. My husband and I were blessed to work with them more than once! When we originally met with Betty and Maggie it was back in 2019, pre pandemic and we were planning a wedding on a tight timeline for 2020. We had met with other vendors however when we met with Betty and Maggie there was an instant connection. We knew working with these ladies was the right choice. They were ready to commit to whatever we needed making our day perfect! We did our engagement pictures in Alexandria, VA because we wanted something different for us and they were beautiful. The pandemic hit in March 2020 and we were supposed to get married October 3, 2020. Things changed and these ladies were so supportive and easy to work with, through all of our changes. We decided to do a micro wedding in August 2020 and push our big ceremony with family back to May 2021. Betty and Maggie showed up to our micro wedding just because they wanted too! They took all of our photographs and spent the day with us. It was so special to have them with us for each and every phase. Between all of our times together they have captured over 1000 photos for us to remember all these special moments for a lifetime. We are forever thankful to have these ladies in our lives. Choose Birds of a Feather for your special day, I promise you they will capture every detail and give you amazing memories to cherish for a lifetime.💙 -

We couldn't be happier!
Betty and Maggie and the epitome of professional. From their planning to their execution to their amazing photos, we couldn't imagine going through the wedding experience with anyone else. Their experience in the DC area helped determine good locations for our first look and portraits. Despite some challenges like a changed date and venue and a very crowded Lincoln Memorial, everything went perfectly and they are the reason why! Birds of a Feather are the photographer for you if you are looking for someone to let you enjoy every moment of your event while still capturing the most beautiful moments you'll cherish forever.Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
We are grateful to have been a part of your beautiful day. Thank you so very much for your kind words. We wish you a lifetime of happiness. -

My husband and I are not the kinds of people that feel comfortable in front of a camera. Maggie and Betty made us feel right at home and gave us the gift of GORGEOUS photos. They were responsive, friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgable. They thoroughly did their research and identified the areas, features, lighting, angles and poses that suited us best. If you're looking for a team you can fully trust to capture your special day, I can't recommend them enough.Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
Thank you for your kind words, Katie! We loved every minute we spent with you and Jonathan and hope to see you both again very soon. Hugs! -

Perfection in every way!
Betty & Maggie are not only incredibly talented photographers, but the most wonderful and kind human beings in the world! We formed a close connection with them from our first meeting and it honestly felt like we had known each other for years. We were both a little nervous about our engagement session (not sure if they knew that or not!) as neither of us have been photographed, but Betty & Maggie made us feel so comfortable and we ended up having a blast! They were always so responsive, knowledgable, and willing to help in any way they could. We also received a few care packages along the way which were so sweet. Even with all of the trials during a pandemic, our wedding day was nothing short of a fairytale. We are so grateful to Birds of a Feather for capturing so many beautiful moments from our special day. We absolutely cannot recommend them enough!
Betty and Maggie have become a part of our lives forever. We love you!Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
Oh, Kayla...Your kind words have touched our hearts. We adore you and Kevin and we have been honored to have you both come into our lives. You two are perfect together and we wish you ALL the good things this world has to offer. Hugs to you both. Betty & Maggie -

Katie S. Sent on 09/01/2021Best photographers ever!!!
If I could give these ladies more than 5 stars I would. They were exceptional in every way. I would recommend them to everyone!
They're a mother-daughter team that works perfectly together. They make sure to take photos of everything, not just the people, which I really appreciate. I worked hard on my decorations!
My wedding reception was delayed due to covid, so we asked if they were willing to take pictures of our mini ceremony instead of engagement photos (which we didn't need anyway). Not only did they agree, they were there for up to 2 hours taking photos for us. It really made our ceremony special, despite it being much smaller than we originally envisioned. Also, the pictures were stunning!
Last weekend we worked together again (nearly a year after the mini ceremony) for our big reception. I'm so thankful I was able to work with them again. They were so sweet, professional, and just an absolute joy to work with. I haven't received these pictures yet (it's only been a couple days, the delay is normal), but I can't wait to see them!!
One important benefit of hiring birds of a feather is they let you have all digital rights. This means I have digital copies of ALL pictures, and I can do whatever I want with them! I sent some to be printed at CVS to frame after the wedding. I also added them to our wedding website. If I want to, I could even make my own printed photo book! The possibilities are endless, but it's so nice to have this freedom.
Thank you so much Betty and Maggie for making both weddings so wonderful! Hiring you was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!Birds of a Feather Photography's reply:
Thank YOU for your kind words and for choosing us to be witnesses to BOTH of your ceremonies! We loved being a part of your special days! -
