Amanda M. Sent on 02/21/2023Photographer of my dreams!
I had been following Magdalena Studios instagram page for years and knew when I got married I wanted to hire them for my wedding. When I had my phone call with Magi after I got engaged, I felt like I was talking to one of my friends; she is super friendly and easy to chat with & I hired her immediately! She was the first vendor we booked! Ashley was my lead photographer for my wedding on 02/10. She did our engagement shoot as well and we loved every minute of it! On our wedding day she made me feel so comfortable and I actually enjoyed being the center of attention! My husband doesn't love getting his picture taken and even he was smiling. My second shooter was Arianna and she was super personable and great to work with. Both Ashley & Arianna made us feel comfortable and we never felt like our photos were too forced or posed. I am SO in love with the sneak peeks I've already received and can't wait to get my full album! Overall, Magdalena Studios was really easy to work with & I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. I'm so grateful we have these amazing pictures to relive our best day! 100% would recommend :) -

Photographer of my dreams!!!
Before I got engaged I had seen photos of Magi&teams work and was in awe- I just knew whenever the day came they were who I wanted to capture my wedding. The night we got engaged they were the first vendor we reached out to. Hiring Magdalena Studios was one of the best decisions we made. Kelee was our lead photographer and from the moment we met her for our engagement photos she just felt so familiar and we were so comfortable with her. (I’m sure most people understand the struggle of having a guy enjoy taking and hour & half of professional photos) My fiancé (now husband) enjoyed the entire engagement shoot, and was in awe when we got the photos back. The engagement photos alone, made our families (and us) emotional and we had so many comments from friends and guests who had seen the photos on our wedding website about how amazing they were. In between engagement session and the wedding I actually also did a headshot session with Magi because that’s how amazing their whole team is (the aesthetic is everything and you can’t go wrong with any of their photographers) We added on rehearsal coverage and had Kelee the night before the wedding which was amazing to get some photos that we maybe wouldn’t get the next day, or just some different portraits of my husband and I. Everyone at the Welcome Dinner came up to me to tell me how absolutely great Kelee was. When wedding day came we had Mike as our second shooter with the guys and my husband kept saying how great he was and how all the guys were relaxed and comfortable during their get ready and groomsmen photos. (Again, this is a huge testament to have 8 guys enjoy taking photos) Kelee was with me wedding morning after doing our details shots and was so calm and on it for every shot she wanted to get- I was completely at ease when she arrived. We got our previews back the other day and I have no words. Kelee was amazing to work with- our schedule went so smoothly and the photos are absolutely breathtaking. Magdalena Studios was a wedding decision I would make everytime if I had to do it all over again, and my husband is already talking about how he wants to have them take more photos of us and future milestones for years to come. 100/10 would recommend. -

Megan S. Sent on 01/04/2023Magdalena Studios is the absolute BEST of the Biz!
I could write a book about how amazing Magdalena Studios is, and how grateful we are to have had them for our 9/17/22 Linwood CC Wedding! From start to finish, the process was super easy and stress-free, especially so being that we were a last minute add-in. Magi and her team really do an amazing job of making your wedding feel like the special experience that it is, and also tailor the experience to each couple through fun questionnaires, and a few phone calls at different intervals (Arianna was so helpful and pleasant!). Kelee was our main shooter and she was AMAZING. She was so helpful leading up to the big day in making sure she understood exactly the FEELING we wanted, our timeline, and any special shots, etc. that we wanted. The day of, Kelee was on-time, professional, efficient, and so FUN. We were nervous about being awkward in pictures, but she truly made posing effortless and was SO encouraging (we had multiple people comment that she was the best hype woman ever & we agree!) She made great suggestions about different shots, location, lighting, etc. It was a plus that she knew our venue very well too! She also did a great job in managing our large and fairly rowdy bridal party. We stayed on time, got everything we wanted, and had SO MUCH FUN doing it. Kelle – you’re amazing and it is so clear that you love what you do and give your absolute all to your couples – thank you so much! The images themselves were absolutely STUNNING, and we received them so quickly on the easy-to-use portal. I had very vibrant florals and it was important to me for the pictures to be true-to-color, but the Magdalena style is truly timeless – not overedited or blown out – just simply beautiful and of the highest quality. You need not look any further than their Instagram to see just how gorgeous their photos are! I can’t imagine having a better experience with a photography team. Would highly highly recommend Magdalena Studios to photograph your special event! Thanks again! -

Amanda W. Sent on 07/14/2022Magi & Scott are a dream team!
Magi and Scott shot our wedding in May in Lancaster, PA. From the very start, Magi was so responsive and professional! She is so sweet and you can tell she loves her job so much. The whole experience from start to finish was seamless, sophisticated and so much fun! Their client portal is awesome, and allows you to fill out your wedding vision, ideas and even describe all the photos you want in detail. Our wedding day was HOT, it ended up being 95 degrees in May, something none of us really expected. Magi and Scott were so good at staying on track and they got all the photos done on the shot list in no time. It was so quick and painless, and was exactly the organization and efficiency that we needed in the heat. The wedding party and guests all loved Magi & Scott too. We received our gallery about a week ago, and we were so happy with both the gallery delivery time and all the photos! We have such a good mix of classic timeless photos and candid photos, along with all the little wedding details. Photography is so important to me, and Magi and Scott were 100% worth the investment. We cannot wait to choose our photos for our heirloom album! -

The Bigley Wedding at The Lakehouse Inn
Magi, Scott & the Magdalena studios team were truly incredible to work with and we couldn’t have been happier with them! We first met Magi for our engagement pictures and her style and creative sense immediately struck us as special. Her general vibe immediately put us at ease and the engagement photos were a telling harbinger to what we would get on the wedding day (they were gorgeous!). On the wedding day, Magi and Scott couldn’t have been more easy-going and professional. Their overall attitudes immediately put us at ease and made the picture taking experience so easy. Then there’s the pictures themselves – there’s expectation and reality, and then there’s what they produced. It was truly incredible how perfect the pictures looked (and we’ve only seen the unedited versions so far). It looked like we were in promo shots of a multi-million dollar Hollywood movie (for a very, very small fraction of the price). We really could not recommend them more!! Thank you so much for making our special day something that we will truly never forget! -

Melissa Sent on 07/21/2020Absolutely amazing!
Magdalena Studios is the absolute best of the best! From the minute we met Magi, we just loved everything about her — her enthusiasm, positivity & radiant energy was contagious. We knew there was no one else we’d rather have capture our special day. During our wedding planning process, Magi was literally a godsend. She provided us with SO many helpful tips and recommendations, and even took the time to share little details from her own wedding! When our wedding day coincided with the pandemic, Magi & Scott were super supportive and helped fill our day with so much love. Our wedding photos were STUNNING, truly breathtaking. Their passion for storytelling shows in all of their beautiful work. Our wedding day would not have been the same without Magi and Scott! -

Magdalena and her team were amazing. Every time one of my other vendors found out we had hired Magdalena, they would immediately say “oh she is the best!” We had her associate team and it was still pricey BUT it is worth every penny!
The pictures were stunning and I cannot say enough good things about this company! -

We couldn't imagine our day without Magdalena Studios!
When my husband and I were first planning our wedding, finding the "right" photographer was at the top of our list. We wanted someone that not only captured the emotions and happiness of that day but was easy to work with. Magdalena Studios was recommended by a friend and was an easy choice after comparing to local photographers in the area. We chose Magi's associate staff (Ashley and Karrie) and they couldn't have been better. In addition to Magi helping us through our day of planning and schedule, we were able to have one-on-one time with Ashley prior to our day to make sure we were aligned on the vision for our photos. The day of our wedding, Ashley and Karrie made our family and bridal party feel completely at ease and truly captured the beautiful moments of the day. From start to finish, I couldn't imagine trusting anyone but Magi and her team. Our pictures were everything we wanted and more and can't wait to share for years to come! -

Magdalena Studios will exceed your expectations!
We are so unbelievably happy we chose Magdalena Studios to be our photographers for our wedding day! Magi and her team made the whole process so incredibly easy from the start!! The entire planning process was so organized and I loved how they were always there to answer any question I had along they way, some not even related to photography!! Magdalena's blogs and tips were SO helpful every step of the way. I enjoyed Magi's company with a coffee date before the big day and was absolutely impressed with Magi and Scott on our wedding day!! They were an amazing team who made us feel so special and comfortable! They were extremely organized, friendly, and assertive to get everyone where they needed to be to stay on schedule! The day we received our photographs back was a very close second behind our actual wedding day. Our photographs turned out even more beautiful than we ever thought possible! The beauty of these pictures and the ease and thoughtfulness of Magi and Scott made it SO worth every penny! Magdalena Studios is fantastic!!!!! -

Shannon Sent on 12/19/2020Gorgeous photos!
We hired Magdalena Studios for our wedding in September and did a mini photo shoot down the shore and couldn't be happier with our photos. The team certainly worked some magic in ensuring that the photos were flattering and beautiful tokens of our day. Magi, Tori, and Amara photographed our wedding and they made us feel so comfortable and at ease! Magi is absolutely wonderful to work with and brings such positivity and beautiful energy to the day. (And she shoots in film in addition to the digital photos!) -

A dream come true!!
Magi and her team were an absolute DREAM to work with!
The moment I came across Magi's Instagram, I knew I had to have her and her team by our side on our big day. Magi made the entire planning process feel stress-free and seamless. Prior to our big day, I was able to connect with her Associate Megan and talk through all of the details. Both she and Ashley were AMAZING! They were both extremely easy-going, professional and creative! Our photos turned out absolutely STUNNING! Not a detail was missed and I am so grateful for that. Thank you!!!!! -

Best in the business. Hands down. Not that I’ve had 1000+ weddings with different photographers to prove this, but Magi and team are DREAM TEAM. They know how to make your wedding photography dreams come true. Magi and team have such big hearts and creative minds that they can interpret your vision and make it reality - regardless of location, props, body type. Honestly, don’t waste your time getting sucked into the rabbit hole of buying the latest trinkets because the photos that you’ll return to, that you’ll love and treasure forever are the ones Magi and team capture between you and your spouse (and loved ones). They can find the best spots and angles in a non-ideal place to make it look magical. I worked with Magi primarily and she is a pro. She handles the bridal fixation on little things before hand with ease. Magi respects boundaries and is so giving with her advice if you ask for it. Magi is ghostlike with her ability to fit in seamlessly with the moment, while giving you gentle direction. Definitely read her blog or follow along on IG or just ask (!) to find vendors they have worked with before. Magi works with the highest quality pros all the time so use this resource! Even if you don’t work with someone they’ve worked with before, they are pros and make space for all the creatives to be comfortable with no stress for the couple. I’ve said it before but Magi and team made the whole process stress-free and were always so kind and quick to respond. I am eager to book more one off photo sessions with the team for future life events. I cannot stress enough that they take priceless photos. The team allows your joy to shine through. The studio also offers a photo booth now! I didn’t take advantage of it but it’s super cute and can be branded to match your wedding. What appealed to me about Magi in particular in the crowded photography market is the fact that she is continually investing in herself and her team with learning and development. Magi makes sure to learn from the best and is always refining her skills and management to provide the best experience for her clients. I also was drawn to her integral spirit of giving back and being part of a community. These qualities resonated with me. I mentioned using Magi as a resource earlier but book her (and team), read her journal/blog, follow her advice, and have ridiculously great photos to cherish! Easy peasy. Book her now! -

Ashley Sent on 11/10/2019All around best vendor decision I made for my wedding
I chose Magdalena Studios to photograph my wedding because I loved her (and her associate's) ability to capture the day in a beautiful/simple/elegant way without over editing or using harsh colors. I am so happy with the final photos!!! Throughout the wedding planning process, her team was very communicative, and even sent congratulatory gifts at times. I thought that was very thoughtful. The day of the wedding, associate photographer, Megan, truly went above and beyond her call as photographer. She had hair pins ready for me to use to attach my veil when nobody else had pins after the hair dresser left. She helped carry my veil, which I really appreciated. Magdalena studios went above and beyond during every step of the process. Best decision! -

PERFECTION!!! Working with Maggie and her team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. When you are planning your wedding, you don't realize how much time of your wedding day you will spend with your photographer. I spent more time with Maggie than I did with any other person. It was amazing to have someone who puts you at ease, deals with the curveballs of the day and advocates for your needs. It was a real joy to spend the day with Maggie and Scott. The final photos were absolutely GORGEOUS. They are natural and yet magazine worthy at the same time. We have beautiful portraits and candid moments. I can't recommend Maggie highly enough. THANK YOU!!! -
