    Mary is the best!

    Hired Mary for a double wedding ceremony to take place at Sunset Key Cottages. She was great to work with and customize my package. Unfortunaley due to Covid-19 the wedding was canceled. Mary was very professional in her handling of the situation during a very emotional and upsetting time. You cannot go wrong if you choose to work with Mary!!!

    Best vendor we hired!!! Brilliant photographer!!!!

    Mary is so wonderful & great!!! We are so happy that we hired Mary! She brought Rachel Ligon as her second photographer b/c her usual person had a conflict and we got double lucky!!! They are both amazing photographers!!! I highly suggest to fill out the worksheet Mary gives you beforehand. This way you can let her know of specific photos you want and she’ll make sure you get them. The wedding itself is so busy and moves so quickly that it’s good to have someone there to make sure you get what you want!! Unfortunately it rained the day of our wedding and we had to forgo some of the photos we wanted but Mary offered to take them the next day. I wish I had said yes but I knew no one would want to get dressed up again and most of our party was going home. That just means we’ll have to schedule another shoot later on - back to KW!!

    Perfection

    MARY IS AMAZING!!!! Mary & her second photographer went above & beyond anything I could have ever imagined. From the getting ready pictures, to getting down on the dance floor, THEY NAILED IT!! Mary got every picture I could have ever asked for! Not only got them, BUT completely made my jaw drop when I saw the final photos! Mary made me feel sooooo comfortable from the second she walked into my door at The Reach Resort. She was so down to earth and made me feel soooo relaxed! My husband says the same thing about the second photographer. He was so personable & made him feel so comfortable during the getting ready photos. Now on to the ceremony....OH MY GOODNESS!! THOSE PHOTOS!! I don't even remember seeing them around or as some people would say "in the way" and when I got the photos....OH MY!!! THEY GOT PICTURES FROM EVERY ANGLE POSSIBLE! The group photos with our family after were perfect & couldn't have gone more smoothly! We did have a small group but it was fairly fast getting all the photos with family members so they could go up top and enjoy cocktail hour while we got our couple photos! WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN WITH THE COUPLE PHOTOS?! The lighting...the angles...the candid shots...the poses...every single one was PERFECT!! Now to my most favorite photos...the reception!! I smile and laugh every time I look at these! Mary & her second photographer got from every angle & THE BEST SHOTS of us having the best time ever!!! From first dances, (which I still cry at all the pictures of my dad & I) to the toasts, to all the line dances, dips & turns....they were more than I could have imagined. The detail shots of our rings blew my mind!! They have such unique & amazing ideas!! I truly couldn't ask for more in a wedding photographer! These pictures mean sooooo much to me & I will cherish them for the rest of my life! Mary Veal Photography should be your ONLY consideration!!! I promise they will not disappoint!

    Mary and her team were such a joy and a pleasure to work with at our wedding! They were creative, professional, fun, loving... and they blended well into the ceremony and party to catch amazing candid shots that really captured the feel of the whole day! Every picture is incredible!! It was so difficult to narrow down which to put in an album!

    I am so thrilled with our pictures that I have cried tears of joy each time I look through them! So thankful we found Mary Veal Photography!! <3

    Mary Veal is the sweetest most caring person I have ever met, which makes her very easy to work with. I had an issue the day before my wedding where we had to push everything back a half hour, and when I called her to explain, she was extremely understanding and was willing to do whatever we needed. She is also extremely creative and has an amazing eye for photo opportunities. I was so afraid that we wouldn’t have any good pictures, but we seriously look like movie stars. I cannot believe some of the pictures she took are real!!! She is absolutely amazing! And I highly recommend her to everyone! I not only found an amazing photographer, I found a great friend.

    Mary Veal is worth EVERY penny! She is very flexible and open minded. Very eager to work with her clients. For instance, I surprised my wife with a trip to the Keys from Chicago with family portraits done on the Dry Tortuga Islands, she was very helpful in planning the shoot. My 4 year old son adored her and not to mention, the photos we received from her were absolutely GORGOUES, AMAZING and PRICELESS!!! I can't wait to visit the Keys again, just to have Mary redo our photos with our newest son included!

    Working with Mary was one of the best decisions I could have made! Mary and her team were easy to work with and delivered phenomenal photos. Mary was knowledgeable and dedicated to capturing the most perfect reflection of our wedding day. The communication between her and I went beyond anything I would have expected. She was prompt and informative when addressing any questions I had. I am forever greatful for the outstanding job she did, and would recommend her to anyone searching for a supreme wedding photographer!

    I can't begin to tell you how accommodating and friendly Mary was. She flew out to Dry Tortugas with my partner and I, and took amazing photos that look like a National Geographic photo shoot.

    Even the family photos are among the best I've ever seen.

    She had them all ready to go when we were done with our honeymoon and even gave us digital copies to post on our Facebook page for all our friends that couldn't make it.

    We looked at every option in Key West, and all the best Bed and Breakfast places in town recommended her. I can definitely see why!

    Thanks Mary!

    We challenged Mary with a late night wedding.
    We honestly thought that the low light was gonna mean so so photos. Wow! We're we wrong, absolutely amazing!
    Somehow Mary even made me relax and look good!
    We hired a photographer, got exceptional service and product and made a friend,
    Hire Mary, you won't regret it!

    As a local in Key West we know of Mary Veal and her amazing reputation and didn't hesitate to hire her for our Christmas photos. She did an amazing job! Super creative, professional and fun! We got some awesome tropical shots that made our relatives up north super jealous. There wasn't a photo we didn't like. I would definitely recommend Mary and look forward to using her services again!

    Mary did an amazing job photographing our wedding in Key West in October 2016. She seamlessly blended in with everyone in the wedding party, and disappeared in the background when taking photos. She managed to capture all the wonderful moments we wanted from our wedding. What I loved the most was the unique moments she captured of our small wedding party. We have so many photos we don't know which ones to select. Mary continuously saw unique photo opportunities that she kept stopping us to take picture, and they turned out beautifully. My biggest concern was looking at other photographers taking wedding pictures on the beach the people are back lit which means shadowed faces you can't see. Not with Mary's photo's. She understands the difficulties and knows how to adjust for them. I can't thank Mary enough for the wonderful photos but also making our special day even more special with her charming demeanor, attention to detail, and ability to blend in with everyone in the wedding. Thank you again Mary for everything.

    Working with Mary was incredible. Not only did she produce amazing photos, she also put us at ease on our big day. Mary even worked with us to take a boat ride to a remote island for a ruin the dress shoot. Weather made us cancel a few times and she was totally flexible.

    While considering vendors for my daughter's destination wedding 10/10/15, finding Mary Veal's website was a coup and her being available was a blessing. Her skill and talent as a photographer is evident on her website but it was in exchanging emails over a year that really revealed her kind and beautiful spirit. Saying she is attentive is an understatement! She lent suggestions and guidance on everything from the hair and makeup team to possible location shoots. Her availability, thoughtfulness and talent were matched by her broad, genuine smile. I can not recommend her highly enough! She shot my daughter's boudoir pictures and returned with Jeremy on the wedding day to ensure they captured every special moment. They even whisked the almost married couple off for some spectacular destination shots away from the venue. She is amazing!!!

    I don't even know where to start! Mary was AMAZING! With my wedding being a destination, planning and picking vendors was difficult. Once I came across Mary's website, I fell in love with her photography and knew the pictures would be beautiful. Once booked, I started emailing her back and forth, and she was so sweet! She had a detailed questionnaire for me to fill out, which was really awesome, because it got me thinking about exactly how I wanted my pictures to look, and what pictures I really wanted captured. We did a boudoir photo shoot the week of the wedding for my husband's wedding present, and Mary made me so comfortable, and kept me laughing and smiling through the entire shoot. I was actually sad at the wedding reception when it was time for her to leave! She really is that nice! And as nice and professional as she is, her pictures are BEAUTIFUL. She isn't scared to climb into the bushes or lay down on the ground or jump up on a chair to get the perfect angle for the perfect shot. She's just awesome! You will not regret choosing her!

    If I could give Mary and Mike a 10, I would. Mary was one of the very first vendors I contacted and she made me feel at ease right away. I felt that she understood what we were looking for in terms of pics. I can't tell you how many emails were exchanged between Mary and myself about our day and she was prompt to answer every single one. On the wedding day, she showed up with Mike to the estate we chose in Marathon. They were prompt, fun, and courteous. Every one LOVED our photographers! :) I can't wait to see what the pics look like, but I'm positive that they will be everything we wanted and more. Thanks Mary and Mike!

    My husband and I got married last May at The Caribbean Resort in Islamorada ! Mary made every dream and image of wedding come true ! Her and Mike make a fabulous team! they made taking the pictures easy and fun! We didn't really have any specific shots that we wanted , so she came up with a list of pictures for us to take. She was great at time management so we didn't We didn't spend our whole cocktail hour taking pictures. She got everyone together, made sure she got the shot, and on to the next one. Mike even spent extra time with us trying to get the perfect sunset pictures and they even stayed past the time they were supposed to! She is super easy to work with , if you email her she will respond right back and go out of her way to meet your requests ! There really aren't enough good things to say about the pictures you will have if you pick Mary . you will be drooling over your photos like we did ! I HIGHLY recommend her to EVERYONE.

    Mary was hands down fantastic. We got married last weekend and had quite a large group for a Key West wedding. She managed to be extremely polite, while simultaneously gathering everyone when the shots were needed...even our dog! She is so dedicated that she even stayed later than scheduled for our wedding shoot and did so happily. She is very talented at what she does and produces great work. We absolutely can't wait to see our photos in a few weeks!

    Mary and her assistant Mike did a FABULOUS job! I had a destination wedding so Mary made it very easy and simple to communicate with us even though we lived miles away. She was attentive to the needs and wants we were looking for in a photographer. Mary went above and beyond our expectations. Mary truly took the time and effort to know my husband and I as a couple, as well as, individuals. She captured the style of photographs my husband and I wanted. She has a phenomenal eye for capturing light, reflections, and candid. We were worried that we would feel stiff and awkward, but she made us feel comfortable in front of her lens. She had a Rolodex of ideas on how to photograph us, but also allowed us to offer options. Mary thank you for capturing the most memorable moment in our lives.

    If anyone is looking for a wedding photographer, I would highly recommend Mary Veal. She was very easy to work with and takes beautiful photographs! She is very talented and truly has a gift for capturing the perfect picture!

    We worked with Mary for our April 11th wedding at The Reach. We knew that after choosing our venue, finding a great photographer was the second biggest decision. Before our visit to scope out venues last year I connected with a few photographers, but Mary stood out right away with her eagerness to actually speak with me on the phone and talk to me about what we were looking for in a photographer and how it aligned with her style. We were able to meet up with her for coffee the last morning of our visit, and we both knew right away that Mary would be the perfect person to capture our special day.
    During the planning process Mary reached out periodically to make sure that we knew she was available for anything we needed. As it got closer to the wedding she sent us a very lengthy questionnaire to start figuring out exactly what we wanted photos of and what style of photos we are looking for, details, etc. From this she formulated a very organized list of "must haves" for us and also assisted me in setting up the timeline for photography. She was very easily accessible throughout the entire planning period.
    Fast forward to the wedding and we just cannot say enough great things about Mary and her assistant, Mike. They were both so much fun to work with and made the process of the formal photos as fun and enjoyable as possible, while sticking to the timeline and ensuring that nothing was missed. As the bride and groom, you really spend a lot of time with the photographers, and we truly had a great time spending our day with them. It was very apparent during the photos that they not only care about the quality of their work, but they also get excited about it. Next time we are in Key West I hope that we can connect with them again in some capacity, whether it be for photos or just a drink.

    Mary Veal and her assistant Mike are by far one of the best decisions we made in regards to our wedding. Like most brides getting married in Key West, most of my planning was done out of town and after seeing her work and reading other reviews I knew she would be the one for us. From the first conversation we fell in love with her and her work. She went above and beyond with countless emails, phone calls, and meetings to put all of my neurotic worries at ease. She truly is a blessing in the industry, she has a wonderful calming presence that makes working with her a pure joy. Mike complements her style with his wit and energy, making every session with them a great experience. Mary genuinely listened to my concerns and worked with me throughout the entire process. My new husband and I feel that she was not only a great photographer but has become a friend. If you are shopping for photographers don't waste your time, Mary is the best in the business! We can't wait to see how our wedding shots turned out and have no doubt they will be everything we hoped for. We can't thank Mary and Mike enough for making our wedding a true dream!

    Mary Veal is such a gem! She is very sweet and outgoing and made our day so fun! Getting your picture taken can be awkward, but she made us very comfortable and we had a blast! Our pictures were edited and up in no time for us to look at. They were stunning! We were so happy with Mary and her services. There is no doubt that you would love her as much as my family did!

    Amazing in every way! I can't recommend Mary enough! I was very intent on having great photos for my wedding day and I couldn't be more pleased! She is so artistic and amazing just to have around for the big day! She makes you feel relaxed and does everything necessary to get a great shot! Whether its taking pictures in the rain or even having her assistant Mike step up to tape our ceremony (as our videographer didn't show!), you are in great hands with Mary. She will always respond immediately to emails, work with your budget, understand what you want in your photos, make you feel relaxed, and so much more! The final product is even better...I received photos I couldn't believe were me and my husband, so beautiful and captured moments that I will forever cherish of that day! Mary Veal is your girl!

    I can't speak highly enough of Mary and her assistant Mike, the two of them together are a dream team! Mary worked closely with us from the beginning helping us create our wedding, providing us with recommendations and insider knowledge along the way. Mary fit our engagement photos in on next to no notice and helped us become comfortable with the different poses and cameras. The day of the wedding they captured important moments that we had requested as well as providing professional recommendations. I couldn't have been happier with the level of service/professionalism and overall friendliness of Mary and Mike, I would highly recommend them.

    Thank you so much Mary for making our wedding day so special!!

    Prior to the wedding, Mary was in touch several times just to check in. She also had us fill out a photography worksheet that helped us to organize our ideas, and helped her to figure out exactly what we were looking for in a photographer.

    On the day of the wedding, we quickly felt comfortable with Mary and her assistant, Mike. They were extremely genuine, professional, and made us feel relaxed. Not only did they get all the shots we requested ahead of time, but also were happy to take any photos that we requested on the spot. Both Mary & Mike had awesome, creative ideas for different types of shots that we never would have come up with ourselves! Several of our friends and family commented on how much they liked them both.

    Thanks again for all you did!

    Wow, all I can say is What a pleasure!!!
    Mary took our amazing engagement shoot, which was beautiful. We met and spoke so much before the wedding which made me feel so comfortable with her. The wedding day she and her team were there 100%. There was one time her assistant had to help sew my sister dress back together while walking out the door for the wedding. From the beginning till the end we appreciated everything:)

    I can't say enough good things about Mary. Creative, fun, energetic, helpful, the list could go on and on. She was great at giving direction and corralling our large wedding party. We didn't really have any specific shots that were must haves for us... so she came up with a list of pictures for us to take. She was great at time management. We didn't spend our whole cocktail hour taking a million pictures. She got everyone together, made sure she got the shot, and on to the next one. It was great! She has incredible talent - I love my sneak peeks and can't wait to see them all! Love, love, love Mary Veal!

    I can't say enough good things about Mary Veal. She was our photographer for our engagement pictures and our wedding in Key West and Key Largo. From day 1, Mary was so sweet and helpful!! We talked on the phone several times before the engagement pictures and many times before the wedding to coordinate things. We also emailed and texted regularly as updates came up! Mary is so creative and so genuine. She really loves what she does and it is so easy to see that when she arrives on set to take your pictures. She came up with all of our sets for the engagement pictures and had the best ideas for the pictures at the wedding. Since I knew nothing about photographer, Mary guided us through everything flawlessly. Having several family pictures was very important to us and Mary went above and beyond to make that happen. She rearranged her schedule to come early and take pictures before the ceremony and she stayed until the send off at the end of the night, more than we ever expected of her. The pictures from the engagement shoot are absolutely beautiful and I know the ones from the wedding will be the same. If you are looking for a fun, energetic, dedicated and thoughtful photographer - Mary is your girl. I promise that you will not be disappointed with her work! She also travels and her assistant was fantastic as well!. If you are getting married anywhere in Florida or are celebrating an other special, important event, you want Mary to be taking pictures and documenting your special day. Thank you so so much Mary!!!! - Amanda and Logan

    My husband and I got married in Duck Key on May 17, 2014 and Mary Veal was our photographer. From the very beginning Mary went above and beyond. She took the time to talk on the phone and get to know us as a couple. She was always able to answer any questions we had about our day, whether they were photography related or not. We are not from the Keys so it was nice to talk with someone who knew the area. She traveled from Key West to Duck Key for our day and also worked with our wedding planner to help make a timeline for the day that made everything so easy. Her photography is amazing. She was able to capture every moment of our special day down to every little detail. I am so happy with our pictures and I feel like we will have memories for a lifetime. Not to mention she is really cool and laid back, which helps with any stress you may be feeling that day. There really aren't enough good things to say about the pictures you will have if you pick Mary for your photographer. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

    Amazing! Mary provided that special touch of using her expertise and being open to suggestions at the same time. Her traditional photos were perfect and her creative ones were our favorites! She was always where I needed her and yet invisible. When all is said and done along with the memories you only have the photos that last. I'm glad I trusted them to Mary.

    Mary is very nice and easy to communicate with. Before the session, she provided many options such as locations, and photo tips to make sure our anniversary shooting is perfect. During the session, we could feel her friendliness so it's easy for us to relax and be ourselves in front of the camera. After the session, she was also very quick in delivering our pictures. I would definitely recommend her to any couples!

    Mary is a gem! She is sweet, patient and an incredible photographer! We had engagement photos taken in December before our wedding last month and it was a wonderful way to get to know each other. We knew exactly what to expect when it came time for our wedding; the ice was broken and we felt like we had known Mary for eons!

    Without being asked, Mary picked up the slack as our surrogate wedding planner when ours failed to deliver. Mary and her fantastic assistant Brianna delivered boutonnieres to the groomsmen, explained to us to how to cut our wedding cake when we realized we had no idea what we were doing and kept us on schedule all while she remained cool, calm and smiling!

    Getting married in Key West is harder than some would imagine when everyone you work with is not as organized, professional and competent as Mary is. We couldn't have done it with out her and we certainly wouldn't have wanted to. She was the driving force behind our smiles and we can't wait to see the pictures! Thank you for everything!!!

    Finding Mary Veal was the best possible thing I could have done for my wedding. As a bride who planned the wedding herself, Mary was there to help me through the entire process. She was honestly a blessing in disguise! On the wedding day, Mary captured everything on my "must have" list, and was professional in handling all the family and guest requests. The absolute best part was seeing my wedding through Mary's beautiful photography. It was better than anything I could have expected. Everyone loved them and I am so happy and thankful for everything Mary did to make my wedding a memory that will last a lifetime! I will be recommending her to every bride-to-be that I come across.

    If you are looking for a photographer in Key West, I fully recommend Mary Veal with 100% confidence that any Bride and Groom will be more than happy with her work!
    Coming from the UK for a destination wedding in Key West and not able to have any personal recommendations, I had to rely on my research and trust the great feedback of other Brides and we weren't disappointed. Mary went above and beyond to help us, before and during the wedding - the communication before the wedding was fabulous and she spent time looking over my Pinterest photography inspiration to understand the style of photographs that we wanted and met with us before the wedding to get to know us.
    During the day Mary and her assistant Beth were fantastic, not just capturing the day but being supportive towards me during the day! She had planned all the pictures that she wanted to capture so perfectly and made this part of day completely stress-free.
    We have now received our pictures and we are so happy with them - every detail has been captured, which will be amazing to look back at over the years when we start to forget the smaller details! I feel Mary can take great pride in what she does - she is a very talented lady

    My Husband and I had a destination wedding in Marathon Florida. Coming from Austin Texas we didn't have much planned but to get married on a beach and get our toes in the ocean! We had found Mary online and fell in love with her work. Not knowing anything about her but viewing her wonderful work, we booked her! Mary was a dream to work with. Mary traveled to Marathon for our sat morning wedding from Key West. We knew from the second she said Hello in our Villa she was the perfect fit for us! From getting ready, to our first look and ceremony, she had everything lined up and planned perfectly for our photos. So creative with a beautiful artistic mind, Mary had every angle down. The wedding was incredibly perfect and was about Trey and I (the way a wedding should be). Her quality of service was outstanding. I wish we lived closer to work with her more often! I recommend Mary for anyone who wants beautiful photos.. (shouldn't that be everyone) :).

    Words can not express how much I am in love with the work Mary Veal did for us. She went above and beyond for our session to make sure we received the pictures we wanted. We were hoping for a sunset but she had no control over that. Even with out a sunset she took all my "dream shoot" pins and turned them in to memories for us that we will NEVER forget!!!! I hate to say this but I love these pictures more then my actually wedding pictures! Mary Veal is AMAZING and will make sure to capture your memories for years to come!!!!

    I recently had a destination wedding in Key West FL that was absolutely wonderful. I live in OH so planning a wedding someplace I've never been or seen was very difficult and counted on vendor's reviews. All of my vendors were fantastic but out of everyone Mary was best. She responded to all of my emails very quickly which was so comforting. She was so helpful from the beginning even helping find a package that would be within my budget. She is so personable I felt like I knew her for years. The day of my wedding I of course was very nervous, she helped me stay calm bc she was sooo relaxed which I can't thank her enough. Also I was very upset bc it was not the prettiest day out cold and cloudy. I expressed to Mary that I was bummed cause I felt like my pictures wouldn't be as pretty she responded with o don't worry about that, that'll make your pictures even better, more dramatic. She was right my pictures were AMAZING!!! So passionate and dramatic. Some even looked like the sun was shinning! Best of all I told her I didn't really want posed pictures I wanted them to tell our wedding day story, which she did. I will never be able to thank her enough! And all my friends and family that couldn't come are amazed when they look at my pictures. Thanks again Mary, you have quite the gift!

    I cannot recommend Mary Veal Photography enough. Not only did she serve as our photographer, but she provided excellent advice and recommendations on venues, wedding planners, music and more. She is a truly genuine person, and sincerely cared about our wedding day.

    Our first point of contact was a phone conversation that lasted over an hour. I was confused and needed in guidance in planning a wedding from Iowa. Mary familiarized me with the island over the phone and took the time follow up with an e-mail with contacts I was in need of.

    We were beyond thrilled and excited to view the photos Mary took. She did an absolutely amazing job. And, they are event better in print! The quality is excellent and professional. She is the best on the island!

    We cannot wait to visit Key West and have her take photographs for us again. She is a gem!

    Mary Veal Photography was a pleasure to work with for my wedding. She was easy going and professional and made my group feel completely comfortable all day long. As a destination wedding in the Keys, I was unfamiliar with the area, and she had great ideas for location shots, which made my photos beautiful and special. The final product I received was better than I could have hoped. I would definitely recommend her for your Key West or South Florida event!

    My wife and I decided to get married on a cruise, while visiting Key West. I had a photographer friend of mine, that was supposed to drive down and photograph us, but that plan fell through. That was the best thing that could happened to us! Mary is very professional and open to any pictures that you could want! She asked us to send some picture ideas to her, so that she could figure out what kinds of poses and photos that we would like taken. She did every pose that we asked for and more! She is very knowledgeable about the area and where to take pictures to best suit what you want. We could'nt have asked for a more perfect place for our wedding or a more suited photographer! If you are undecided as to who to photograph you on your special day, then let me help you......CHOOSE MARY! Thank you, Mary for all you did! Your Awesome!

    Words can't describe how WONDERFUL Mary is! She made my wedding day 1,000 times easier. She is like a wedding planner and photographer in one. She made me so at ease for my wedding day, I can't recommend her more highly. Not to mention my pictures turned out amazing. My guests commented on how nice and sweet she was. Mary felt like she should have been a bridesmaid she helped me out so much with putting me at ease. BOOK her now.. if you can't tell I think she is AMAZING! :)

    Mary is an amazing photographer! From the moment that I met her I felt comfortable and as if I was meeting up with an old friend! We spoke mostly via email since we live in RI and had a destination wedding in Key West. Mary's focus was getting every picture that we wanted and not on the time that we had. Mary picked me up at the condo that I was staying at and drove me and my now husband around Key West snapping photographers. It is obvious that Mary loves her job as a photographer and it is obvious in her photographs. I researched a lot of photographers and Mary is very reasonable and very easy to work with. Mary even took the time to get us some of our pictures within days so we could share with our families back in . I can't say enough good things about Mary, I am very happy with my pictures and my experience!!

    Mary was one of the photographers at my 2/19/12 Key West wedding. I cannot even think of enough amazing things to say! Mary was a total professional, and has an incredibly creative eye. Instantly she made our group comfortable with getting our pictures taken. She is also fearless!! Our wedding was on a boat, and it was a rocky trip-during the ceremony she stood above us to take photos! I've never seen wedding photos from this angle and I cannot believe how beautiful they turned out!

    Within a week of the ceremony, our pictures were on Mary's website. We were so convinced we wouldn't see photos so quickly! They were absolutely breathtaking!

    I highly, highly, highly recommend Mary Veal!

    Mary was the photographer for our beach wedding in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She is a positive person and was very pleasant to work with. Mary loves her work and does it with joy. She took time to take pictures in our hotel and then on the beach. Mary never rushed us. She was enthusiastic about our ideas and also suggested some great positions and settings. We highly recommend Mary.

    Where do I even start? My husband and I had always envisioned this beautiful beach wedding with the sun shining and picture perfect blue waters in the background. The day of our wedding wasn't that...rain, rain, and more rain. Prior to our big day I had never met Mary. Once I arrived to the beach...Mary was one of the first people there to welcome me with her comforting smile. Yes it was raining lightly and I had to hold an umbrella during the ceremony! But who said you can't have beautiful pictures if the sun isn't shining? Our pictures still turned out beautiful and we are very thankful she is such a talented photographer. We were unable to get all the beach shots I had wanted due to the rain and wind. I had asked Mary if she would mind coming to the reception to take some additional shots and she didn't even hesitate. Her job was just to take photos of the ceremoney but she was more than willing to work with us. She then suggested that we pick a day that wasn't raining and she would take more shots of us at the beach. WE are SOOOOO thankful she offered that to us. Not only did Mary capture all the beautiful images from the ceremony but the beach photos that were taken a few days later were AMAZING! I describe how stunning they were. She has wonderful ideas and really knows how to create the perfect shot. We have so many memories from that day at the beach. She was an absolute delight to work with. I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer for their big day! We were blown away with the final images. WE have received so many compliments on our photos....they are perfect!

    We are so thankful for Mary...now we have photos to last us a lifetime. :)

    Mary was wonderful to work with. She was very friendly and patient with our friends and family (especially the young children in our wedding party). We asked for several extra shots at the end and she was more than happy to oblige us. She made sure to get all of the shots that we wanted which we really appreciated!

    I was a bit nervous for our wedding day, because it was so very windy outside, and I didn't think we'd get any nice pictures because of the wind/cloudy day...Mary was able to capture beautiful memories for us despite the weather outside! She was so nice, professional, and willing to take about any picture we wanted! I would definitely recommend Mary for your destination wedding pictures! Thank you Mary!

    I can not explain enough how much Mary made my wedding. Everybody says to cherish every moment because it will be over in the blink of an eye. You don't realize how true that is intill you experience it yourself. There is so much going on that it is hard to take it all in fully. But when you look back at the pictures that Mary takes, you can feel every bit of every moment all over again.
    We had a very special situation, our child - our dog - Mia, hates cameras. I went into the wedding expecting that we would have no good pictures. Mia is impossible. Mary's tender, down to earth, and sweet personality along with her talent and motivation produced the most beautiful pictures of my life. I absolutly could not believe how shot after shot was so perfect and full of meaning. Without Mary, I would not be able to look back on my wedding and feel the same emotion I did on that day.
    This sounds ridiculous, but I told my husband that if i won the lottery that i would hire Mary full time to just follow us around and take pictures. I can't wait to hire her again for my next party.
    Thank You Mary. With all our hearts, especially Mia's.

    My husband I and were married in Key West while in port during a cruise. Making arrangements with Mary prior to the big day was very easy as well as enjoyable. On our wedding day Mary collected us at the docks and drove us to the beach location (with a mini-tour of the town) for the first part of the photo shoot. She was very professional and directed the shoot while being responsive to our desires. We then drove to the catamaran for the wedding service. Again Mary was very professional and not intrusive. When I received the proofs I couldn't believe all of the shots she had taken; many times I didn't know she was there snapping away. After our time on the catamaran, Mary offered to stop where-ever we wanted on our way back to the ship. Overall I feel we received an excellent value, Mary went above and beyond acting as tour guide and chauffeur for the day. Because of the fabulous shots she captured, we will be able to revisit this special days many years to come.

    I found Mary Veal Photography through a friend who used her a couple years ago and am so glad we went with her for our photography. Usually I don't like myself in photos but there are tons in our album that I am in love with! She showed up early, looked like a wedding guest instead of a "photographer" stayed later than we contracted her for and even gave us an extra album as a gift. Of all the money we spent on our wedding the photos were the best spent. She documented our day with artistry and I couldn't be happier! We've decided that whenever we return to Key West we will hire her again for updated (hopefully family) portraits!

    Mary was our photographer at our sunset beach wedding. She was not intrusive with the camera and the photos were clear and detailed. She captured some of our greatest everlasting memories! I would recommend her for your next event!

    Mary was an amazing photographer. We used her to capture our wedding this July. She has an amazing eye for photographs. She managed to capture the true moments of our wedding which is not an easy task especially trying to get 4 small ones to pose for pictures. Not only is she a great photographer she also became a great friend. She felt like family!.

    We loved working with Mary. Not only was she a person we connected with personally, so light-hearted and spirited, by she was very committed to getting us what we were looking for in our pictures. Her reconnaissance on who we were together and as individuals, and how we saw 'our day' was impeccable. We truly appreciated her attention to detail and commitment to her work.

    She did a wonderful job at my wedding and even hit everything I asked for in my questionnaire. Only issue was months after my wedding, I had a couple questions about my credit however have yet to receive a response. Other than that, perfection!

    Mary's photos from our wedding were top-notch. We have very high standards and wanted to capture the essence/vibe of our wedding (and surrounding events) with exceptional quality candid images. We don't liked posed or canned pictures...so we needed someone who was a great photographer but also a good storyteller who is able to capture the right shots at the right moments....and Mary exceeded our expectations. Our photos are stunning. I highly recommend Mary's work. She's also one of the friendliest and most positive people I've ever met so the customer service level is very high. Thank you Mary!!

    This review is for Mary Veal Photography from our wedding on May 2, 2015 at Hawks Caye Resort in Florida. We were utterly disappointed in the end result of our wedding pictures. We communicated our disappointment to Mary, who then became extremely defensive and accusatory, and actually blamed the quality of the pictures on many things associated with our wedding, including our guests. She took no ownership for our disappointment, however did eventually offer us $500 back. We declined this offer, as it could not bring back the day and the moment. For $5000 price tag that we paid for her service, my wife and I felt the result of the photography did not match the price.
