    The BEST Wedding Photographer

    My husband and I were blown away with our photos from our wedding day! Even when Maggie moved to NC from CA, she ensured us that it would not be an issue and she followed through with that promise. We would have never known that she had moved if she didnt tell us! The photos were absolutely incredible and beyond our expectations. Maggie was super great to work with and was on it from the moment we scheduled her. She wanted to ensure that our wedding day was fantastic and she did just that! She worked perfectly with our videographer as well making sure he got all the shots he needed too. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for your wedding photographer!!!!

    The best!!

    Maggie is amazing!! We had great phone calls to go over my vision and what photos were important to me. She has great attention to detail and knows how to get the natural poses and all of the special moments. It rained on our wedding day and she went above and beyond to make sure we still got amazing photos, while still keeping us comfortable and smiling!

    10/10 would recommend - best photographer!

    Maggie is amazing! Professional and personable. She was so accommodating to our last minute change of plans due to COVID. She was a delight to have around the day of our ceremony. Her photography style was exactly what I liked and the photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined!

    Maggie Captures Magical Moments

    Working with Maggie was wonderful. She not only captured our perfect day, but she put us at ease and made the whole day feel very natural. She has a spectacular eye and is great at capturing magical moments. We are so thankful to have worked with her. She came highly recommended from a family referral and has become our go-to, extended, family photographer. We look forward to her capturing our next major life event. - Bekah & Lyndsey Burns

    Wonderful Wedding Photographer!

    Maggie did an incredible job with the photos for our wedding. Her kindness and passion for her work radiated, and we knew that we were in excellent hands. We really appreciated that she took time to meet with us before the wedding date to go over the schedule for the day - that really took some of the stress out of the day itself, and we knew just what to expect. Throughout the day, she made us feel so comfortable, and she took beautiful photos that we will cherish for years to come. We are thrilled with the way our photos turned out and are so grateful to Maggie for the job that she did.

    Mrs. Kendra Luebke

    Maggie was wonderful for the moment we first spoke. Being from out-of-state, and with only one quick, last-minute visit, Maggie made herself available via phone, in-person, and vía e-mail whenever we needed. I felt comfortable with her from the get-go. Her previous work looked lovely, but I was still nervous about how my experience would turn-out. She effortlessly captured so many beautiful elements of our special day, and I am eternally grateful to have these special memories. I highly recommend her services and would hire her again for pictures of any kind! Maggie is wonderful to work with and produces lovely still moments that capture the essence of special occasions.

    Excellent pictures to capture those unforgettable moments

    Maggie was very friendly from the beginning (scheduling and pricing request) to end (receiving pictures link in my email). She made some accommodations for me in pricing due to my budget (thank you!) which was helpful since I saw her portfolio and wanted my pictures to be taken by her for my wedding.

    I did not know this at the time but she had visited my vendor beforehand just to get an idea of the setting she was going to be working in. A couple weeks before the wedding she sent me a survey just to make sure what kind of pictures I really needed during the entire day so she doesn’t miss anything I wanted to remember (eg. pictures more or less during which moments, and with who before and after the ceremony).

    She arrived quite on schedule on the day of (if not early if I remembered correctly) to get all the pictures that I wanted of the getting dressed moments and pictures of the bridal party. Everything went smoothly with the ceremony, and she was able to take great pictures to document the private moments after the ceremony with my newly-wed husband in different locations in the venue (which I assume was quite challenging since the venue had different picturesque locations spaced out in different areas).

    After everything was over she sent me all the pictures as soon as she could through my email. She kept good communication throughout the process and I was very happy to receive all the beautiful pictures. Photography was one of the few areas that I was really looking forward to during this whole celebration so I was very grateful for her professional service; thank you!

    Maggie is Amazing

    Maggie absolutely made our wedding day. Her talented eye, strong skill set, effortless approach to photography and patient/calm demeanor compares to no other in the profession. She is a true talent. Thank you Maggie for doing an amazing job and for saying 'YES' to photographing our special day.

    Maggie is so talented and put us at ease!

    Maggie was an absolute joy to work with. She is highly professional and responsive, very sweet, and very talented. My husband and I got married at Vine Hill House and we knew that we wanted someone who was excellent at working with light (and someone familiar with the venue) - there are some shaded areas with patchy light, some phenomenal golden hour photo ops, and many areas where stylistic framing is necessary. Maggie did an amazing job capturing perfect moments in every location, and her initial eye and editing were top notch. I think one of the most significant things is that Maggie put my husband and me at ease. My husband in particular was a bit nervous about being the center of attention, and Maggie somehow managed to make both of us feel completely natural - we look like we are having so much fun (we were!). We genuinely enjoyed spending the evening with her. The picture delivery was exceedingly timely and we could not be happier with the photos - how are we going to choose just a selection to share with our guests? Highly, highly recommend Maggie - book her now!

    Maggie was amazing! She truly captures your whole wedding day! She caught all the details my husband and I were unable to fully appreciate! Her editing is beautiful and services are over the top! She even sent us prints just as a thank you to us! We loves working with her and highly recommend her to all of our newly engaged friends!

    Maggie is WONDERFUL!!! Both our engagement and wedding photos turned out better than we could have ever expected. Not only is her work incredible, but she is kind, funny and after just a few short hours, it was clear that we would be long time friends. We had never done a photo shoot before, so she was so helpful with her directions. Bust most importantly, she didn't direct us into any poses that felt uncomfortable. She just let us be ourselves, and that really came across in the photos. She was truly a joy to work with. She has earned us as clients for life! Thanks Maggie! We love you!!

    My husband and I LOVED our experience with Maggie! She was such a fantastic person to work with and we had a blast taking our wedding photos. She never rushes you and is very receptive to any and every idea you have for your pictures (also, she is full of great ideas, too)! She was funny, and helped capture our laughter in so many pictures. We were so pleased with how it all turned out, and would hire her again in an instant!

    Maggie was such a pleasure to work with. She was professional and at the same time, she felt like family. She was honest and genuine in her excitement for our big day. Her style and creativity really come out in her galleries, which made the decision to work with her so much easier. The planning went smoothly and she was always available when we needed her. We gave her creative control on the day of the wedding as we didn't want to worry about anything but smiling and laughing. Maggie told us to go with the flow and honestly, it put us in the right frame of mind the whole day. When it came to receiving our order, she was quicker than we expected. If you need someone who will understand your situation, respect your vision, and make it reality, then we highly recommend Maggie.

    Maggie was such a joy to work with. After meeting with several vendors, we just hit it off with her demeanor and professionalism. We are a very relaxed couple and did not have a defined aesthetic. With her eye, Maggie took our personalities and let them shine through. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother or accommodating artist to help capture our memories in a such beautiful way!

    Magdalena was so great to work with. She has a great eye and is not intrusive. We got married the night of the Sonoma fires in Sonoma and she was still very efficient with getting our photos to us despite the challenges. She is professional and a great photographer! I highly recommend her for your wedding.

    Choosing Maggie as our photographer was one of the best wedding planning decisions I made. She was fantastic to work with - so calm and sweet and made us feel very comfortable. We just got our photos back and they are breathtaking!! The lighting is perfect, she didn’t miss a single moment and truly captured the emotion of the day. I would sincerely recommend Magdalena in a heartbeat!!
