    I can't express enough how happy we are with Mac Dore Photography. The pictures of our wedding were beyond amazing. She captured the day perfectly. The quality and quantity of what we got is incredible! She was very flexible to work with us in every way. She was a pleasure to work with and managed our unique wedding perfectly. I will use her again in the future for sure and would recommend her without hesitation!

    MacKenzie an absolute delight to work with! We were very familiar with her work, as she had done my sister's engagement and wedding, a portrait session for one of my closest friends, and my husband and I also had engagement shots with her. Her work is amazing! We still get compliments on our engagement pictures! After seeing how those pics came out, I was really looking forward to seeing what she could do for our special day and I was definitely not disappointed! We just got our pictures, and they came out WONDERFUL and AMAZING! I knew from the 3 sneak peak pics we had in the days following our wedding that they would be, but seeing the hundreds and hundreds of pics we got back, I was so excited! Looking through them with my husband was like reliving moments of our wedding day. They really captured all of the emotions of the day on film. I couldn't be happier with the results! The difficult part will be narrowing down and selecting a limited amount of pictures for our album and to display around our house. I would DEFINITELY recommend MacKenzie to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding. It is well worth the investment!!

    I absolutely LOVE MacKenzie! She is such a wonderful lady as well as amazing Photographer! She is always so sweet , fun and outgoing that she makes you feel like family. She great with people and even more so with kids! She has captured my family moments for years: Christmas cards, maternity, newborn, family, birthdays, kids milestones. I have two little ones and its seems always near impossibly to get them to sit let alone take a good picture. Even when I'm sure there was no way we got a good picture because they weren't cooperating she exceeds my expectations and turns out with such beautiful and amazing pictures that I will cherish for my whole life! I will never use anyone but MacKenzie!! I have recommened her to all my family and friends, and anyone who would listen! I cant recommend her enough!! Thank you MacKenzie for all the long lasting memories you have given us!! :)

    Mackenzie was professional, friendly and made our day memorable with incredible photos. She never got in the way and blended in yet still was able to capture the perfect moments that we can have forever. Great job and well worth the cost. Thank you very much.

    MacKenzie was awesome! She photographed our wedding and knew exactly how to capture those special moments between my husband and I without us even knowing she was there. She kept us smiling the whole time and had a great eye for beautiful photo locations. We had a huge wedding party, which can be difficult to manage, but she did it with grace and patience. She took fun, classic and traditional photo's which we loved the variety. I would recommend Mac Dore Photography to anyone, you won't be disappointed!!!

    Mackie's attention to detail and eye to capture those special candid moments is uncanny. She's friendly, professional and talented. By the end of our event I felt I had a friend for life. And our photos are AMAZING and the price could not be beat! Thank you, Mackie.

    Mackenzie was our photographer for our wedding about a year ago and I am SOOO glad I chose her to capture every moment! She did an amazing job capturing the small details of our wedding that we put so much hard work into.Our pictures turned out beyond gorgeous! We had a rather large bridal party along with family and she was very patient and polite with our large group! She was especially good with the kids. Our flower girl was a little fussy and shy but Mackenzie new exactly how to make her smile for the group and solo shots! I would absolutely recommend her to capture your special day. she will not disappoint!!!

    Mac Dore Photography provided service for both our engagement pictures and our wedding on 12/1/12. Mackie has been a close family friend for many years and there was nobody else that I would have wanted sharing our special day. She gave us the very special gift of beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. I still get teary and excited to look through our amazing engagement and wedding photos even a year later. She maintained a very high level of professionalism while inserting a high level of creativity to ensure our pictures would be nothing short of perfection. Mackie is amazing at what she does, and is very fun to work with. She has a keen eye and unique perspective that shines through in her pictures. She even was able to make my husband who hates having his picture taken relax and have a good time. We are so blessed and thankful to know Mackie on a personal and professional level. I can't wait for her to take pictures of our babies someday! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible gift with us. We will always be grateful for the experience :)

    MacKenzie P Photography did an amazing job taking my wedding photos! She came up with some great ideas and made sure to get all the important shots. MacKenzie took photos of all the special details we had, as well as the group shots of family and our guests. She arrived hours before and stayed until all the important shots had been taken. With her photos I will be able to remember all the details of my wedding. I would definitely recommend MacKenzie P Photography!

    Ayla,

    All my best,
    MacKenzie

    Mackenzie ("Mackie"), is absolutely amazing at creating a comforting atmosphere. Her pictures capture timeless moments, and even the most modest smiles. She is extremely creative with her poses and backgrounds.

    Her very best attribute as a photographer may be in her editing skills. Everyone would like to think they look great all the time, in every pose. Mackie makes sure of it! I would definitely recommend Mac Dore Photography to anyone!

    The first time Mackie photographed my husband and I was 3 1/2 years ago for our anniversary. She got my stubborn husband who typically never smiles in pictures, to smile in EVERY SINGLE ONE! They are pictures I still treasure, and have hanging in our house, to this day. Since then we have had several other sessions with Mackie, including ones with out daughter at 4 months, 7 months, and 1 year old, as well as a couple family sessions. Mackie always goes above and beyond to get the very best shots of our family. She takes the necessary time needed and has never once made us feel rushed. Mackie has always been fun to work with, very professional, and has a quick turn around time! The photographs never fail! I have pictures hanging all over my house from all our sessions. I have referred Mackie multiple times and will continue to do so!!

    Incredible experience!! My partner and I have been together for over 8 years. When California past legislation allowing us to become a legal union we knew it was time to get married. We were so nervous. Many questions rushed both my partner and me. What is this going to cost? How do we plan the event?? Who do we choose?? The planning became very emotionally overwhelming. From moment Mac Dore Photography came into the planning dialog all the emotional and logistical ciaos settled down. Mac Dore laid out what we needed to plan for moment by moment (from a photography perspective). She explained in detail how she would be creating her shots in these moment. To my surprise just by Dore Photography orchestrating the photography help structure the entire event. Mac Dore Photography was responsible for producing the collage of memories we made that day. The pictures we received are wonderful, beautiful works (and many of our friends and families have commented on Dore's work and have since sought her out themselves). We thank you Mac Dore Photography for the pieces you created for us and also being a source of support on this day.
