    Maggie and Rhiannon were so much fun to work with! They kept us laughing and comfortable, and were flies on the wall when they wanted to be. We just got our link to the photos a couple of days ago and we are OBSESSING over them! They are so beautiful, professional, and artful. My husband was telling me how he felt a little awkward posing at one point during his solo shoot, and Maggie sensed that, so she showed him her camera so he could see how AMAZING he looked. He felt pretty confident after that.
    They really know what they are doing, and I will definitely be contacting Maggie for future events!

    I have had the pleasure of working with Maggie and her team over the entire course of my engagement and wedding. She was my photographer for my engagement party, engagement couple session, bridal shower, and of course my wedding day. Her and her team are so down to earth and easy going that they made the whole process a ton of fun. My husband and I are not the most outgoing people, definitely don't enjoy being the center of attention, and my husband is never to thrilled to have his picture taken but from the moment Maggie met us she understood that. She made both of feel so comfortable during all our of photography sessions and honestly each session only made me look forward to working with her on our wedding day even more.

    Her team is so easy going to work with both in person and over e-mails. Any questions/concerns I ever had were promptly addressed. All the meetings I had before the wedding were never rushed and Maggie always listened to everything I had to say. She welcomed all of my ideas and even brought the example wedding photos I had sent her on my wedding day to make sure she got the shots I loved most. The quality of her pictures are amazing!! Maggie and her team have an amazing eye for catching candids also. I have so many pictures over the last year and a half that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

    Not only was she top notch for her photography, but I also bought save the dates and thank you cards (for the engagement party and wedding) from her. The quality of the cards were beautiful and everyone I sent them to absolutely loved them. I've also have several books she has made for me as well and all of them are perfect. My "brag book" is to die for!

    All in all, my big day would not have been what it was without the help of Maggie and her team. She captured so many amazing memories for my husband and I to cherish. I couldn't imagine using anyone but her!

    From the moment we met with Maggie we knew she was going to be our first and last appointment. She made us feel so comfortable knowing she was listening to exactly what we wanted. I cannot even explain how much fun we had with Maggie, Barb & Rhiannon the day of the wedding, they are absolutely hysterical. Even with a bridal party of 25 they made everything go beyond smooth! Once we received our pictures we were speechless. They had captured EVERY SINGLE moment. I can’t even look at then without crying, all the pictures show so much emotion. We chose not to have a videographer and we have not one regret with all the pictures that were taken. We are in the process of getting our album done and I have absolutely no doubt it is going to come out amazing just as our Brag Book and our Thank You cards! Maggie, Barb & Rhiannon are the best and we cannot thank them enough & recommend them to everyone!

    My husband and I loved working with Maggie and her amazing team. Not only did our pictures come out amazing, but we genuinely enjoyed having them with us on that day. I even had many of my family members comment on how lovely they were to work with. I have already recommended her to a friend of mine who just got engaged, but I also plan on continuing to work with them in the future as our family grows! Maggie and her team not only did a wonderful job for my wedding but also both my sisters, best friends and even new born pictures for my nephew. Doug and I were so blessed to have Maggie apart of our special day! xoxo

    There is only one word I can use to describe how my husband and I felt when we saw our wedding photos for the first time: speechless. Maggie and Barb captured our day to a "T" ... We couldn't have asked for anything more.

    I first met Maggie with my Mom about a year before our wedding. From the moment we walked into her studio, we felt so incredibly comfortable. The three of us talked about the day for almost two hours, and as we laughed and cried together, I had a hard time believing that this was the first time we had ever met. I felt as if I had known her for years. When I told my husband about our meeting that afternoon, we agreed to sign a contract and never looked back.

    Fast-forward to our wedding day, and again, we all felt so calm and collected thanks to Maggie, Barb, and Rhiannon. They were professional, fun, and insanely talented. I put my complete trust in them, and I am so glad I did, for they captured all of the moments that meant the world to me, my husband, and our families, and then some. Despite some time constraints, they were able to scratch off all of our desired photos and still managed to get us to the cocktail hour on time... talk about impressive! Thinking back on all of the special moments we shared together that day, I cannot help but shed a tear and wonder what I would have done without them.

    As I write this, I am looking at my "Brag Book," a collection of Maggie's favorite photos from the day, and could not be any happier.

    Our experience with Maggie and her wonderful team of women started when Daniel and I started our engagement journey back in October of 2013. I was introduced to Maggie through a good friend of mine, I saw her the wedding albums she created for her sisters during a visit to their home. At first glance, I was stunned by the moments she captured and how beautiful every single picture was. Daniel and I immediately stopped our photographer search and set up an appointment to meet wit her. Long story short, the pictures we have from our engagement shoot were amazing and our relationship with Maggie came so naturally because she made us feel so comfortable. With that said, nothing could have prepared us for the experience we had on the day of our wedding. Our engagement shoot was just a "snap shot" of the incredible photos we would receive from wedding. She truly captured the love between Daniel and I and all of the emotions throughout our day. She never missed a beat...

    Daniel and I created such a wonderful relationship with Maggie through meetings and emails and she was so easy to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process. Her and her team took total control of the wedding day timeline which made me feel so confident that our day would go smoothly. They are also just such a joy to be around.

    It's hard to put into words how lovely Maggie is inside and out as well as her amazing photography skills and insight. Her demeanor and her spirit are so contagious, it's hard to not be happy around her which makes the picture-taking process feel like you're hanging out with your best friend. We cannot wait to continue our journey with Maggie and her team for future pictures. We don't look at her as our photographer first anymore, we look at her as a friend. We truly love you Maggie, thank you for all you've done for us!

    Maggie photographed a friend’s wedding and I kept the “thank you” note for years because I thought the photographs on it were so beautiful. When my now-husband and I got engaged in 2010, Maggie was our first call, and we were thrilled that her personality matched the quality of her work.

    As someone who is uncomfortable in the spotlight, Maggie and her team put me at ease immediately. She is lighthearted, funny and encouraging, as were Barb and Lynda, the other photographers on our wedding day. Maggie has a gifted eye for settings that will make your pictures pop. For my bridal portraits, she sat me in a vintage green armchair on our porch that I hadn’t given a second look in years – and the results were amazing. She walks the perfect line between traditional and modern – but never boring.

    During the whirlwind of the day she never made us feel rushed, despite the fact that she jumped around on a tight schedule to take photos at our parents’ houses, the church and the venue. She was entirely prepared, and her team comes with a checklist that you have discussed beforehand to make sure they get every shot that you have requested.

    The process after the big day was no different. Maggie and her team painstakingly edited our photos to perfection, and gave us a say in the layout of our album (very important for me as a control freak!). True, most photographers are expensive these days, but not all of them are worth it. Maggie IS. I would have sacrificed so many other aspects of my wedding before I would have given her up, and the many people we have recommended her to (including my sister) have loved her as much as we do.

    I can't recommend Maggie and her team highly enough! Starting from the first day we met with Maggie she has been nothing short of spectacular. Delivering outstanding pictures is only part of the experience with Maggie. She really has a nack for connecting with you and making you feel like family. My husband hates posing for pictures and he was even shocked at how Maggie has the ability to make you super comfortable. We couldn't be happier with our final product and will definitely be using Maggie for all of our future life events!

    We were lucky to have had Maggie and her assistant photographers Linda and Barbara be a part of our special day. Their kindness, good humor and professional nature helped me feel at ease while I was getting ready (not an easy task to tackle with someone who is as camera-shy as I am) and helped set a precedence for the rest of the day. I was so pleased with everything... from the unique shots to the amazing finished products, I would highly recommend Maggie and her assistant photographers for your big day!

    Maggie has a gift that many photographers never attain, the ability to see inside their subjects soul. Her portraits of our daughter are extraordinary! At 16, then 20, she captured her beauty from within and you sense it the second you look at them. If there's a wedding in the future it can't happen without Maggie !! Bravo Ms. McGill !!

    In my opinion, having a wonderful photographer is one of the most important parts of planning your wedding. It's through their eyes that you remember their day. Maggie was referred to us by a friend, and then was the photographer at my sister's wedding a few years back. When I got engaged, she was one of my first phone calls. Before we even had a wedding date, I asked her if there were any days she wouldn't be available, so I would know not to pick that day. That's how important it was to me to have her as part of our day.
    Where do I begin.. For one, from the very beginning, she was easy to get in contact with and stayed in touch by both phone and e-mail. Their hours were very accommodating and they were happy to meet us on weekends, which was really our only option. During our "planning" session she happily grinned at my 10 pages of Pintrist ideas. I knew she would be considerate in taking a few, but never in a million years did I expect Barb, one of her sidekicks, to show up the day of my wedding with the exact list so my every hope and dream of a picture would be fulfilled. (How's that for patience and customer service?)
    Maggie, Barb, Lynda, and their team will fit right into your wedding party. They put everyone at ease, make them laugh, but at the same time know how to leave the quiet and sentimental moments undisturbed, but captured. Who wants to be putting on a wedding dress with your mom and sister and have a photographer be shifting you around to "get the shot"? Not me. They were all respectful, kind, and yet very talented--- getting shots that i wouldn't have even thought could show the emotion they did. Almost like having a personal paparazzi who you actually like.
    My photos all came out great, and the options we had to choose from were amazing. Not only will Maggie and her team amaze you with their work, but their happy, fun demeanors are an added bonus to make your day as special as it should be. I would recommend Maggie to anyone!

    Maggie and Barb did the most amazing job for our vow renewal! My husband (who studied film in school and is very picky with photographs) says Maggie has a gift that is very rare. I completely agree! She has the ability to catch special moments, looks on faces, and really capture her subject in a way that most cannot. When we received our proofs they took our breath away. The photographs were so beautiful and unique. Maggie always delivers WAY above your expectations. Not only that but she and her crew are the nicest and most fun people.

    Can not say enough about Maggie Barbara and Lyn! From our engagement shoot all the way through planning for the wedding our experience with Maggie was amazing! They were so easy to work with. They took amazing shots without being overly papparazzi in your face. They made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. I knew I had nothing to worry about on the day of the wedding because our engagement shoot was fantastic. Not only are they really sweet down to earth people, they were extremely professional and accommodating.

    Maggie and her staff were EXCELLENT. I felt like a superstar from the minute they arrived. Maggie and staff are thorough and provided me with an itinerary- who needs a wedding planner when you have such an excellent photographer. Maggie's creativity was amazing and I can't wait to see the final product. Everyone kept saying how much they loved our photographers!~

    Maggie and her crew were amazing! Our wedding party was made up of our children and nieces, and Maggie got incredible pictures of all of them. The photographs truly captured the personalities of the kids. Maggie and her assistants don't just take pictures- they tell a story. By the end of the night, it feels like they are a part of the family and one of your guests.

    Maggie and her team were absolutely amazing. Maggie shared a very special bond with me and I knew from the moment we met that she was the photographer I wanted to photograph our special day. Maggie having you there meant so much and helped fill a special place in my heart for someone who wasn't there. At eight months pregnant she exceeded our expectations. I have to also acknowledge Barb and Chris who also contributed to making our wedding day so special. We cannot thank you girls enough!! You guys are truly amazing and talented!! Thanks again!!

    Maggie and her team are awesome at what they do! They take creativity to the next level when taking your photo's. We also loved that Maggie and her team were so down to earth, which made getting thousands of photos being snapped ok pur wedding day that much easier. They definitely made us feel at ease and we had fun throughout the entire process.

    The team that Maggie McGill has put together at Maggie McGill Photography is extremely professional while also being extremely attentive and caring.
    From our first meeting with Maggie she became part of "Our" team and my wife and I felt both safe and secure in trusting Maggie and her team to capture the most important moments to the start of our new lives together.
    To this day, we continue to use Maggie and her team to capture, and continue to be a part of "Our" growing team, with the memories of our newest addition, a baby boy.

    Maggie and the team at "Maggie McGill Photography" are AWESOME! Besides being the sweetest people in the world, they all do amazing work! From our very first meeting with Maggie in her studio she makes you feel comfortable and special and is dedicated to providing you with beautiful photos from your wedding. Her calm nature made for stress-free planning and the whole timeline of our wedding day was laid out by Maggie so we had enough time for our photos. The entire team works so well together and take photos in a non-offensive way as to not draw attention to themselves. We couldn't be happier with our photos and album and would highly recommend Maggie McGill Photography : )
