    If I could give 100 stars, I would!!!!

    Promptness, attention to detail, responsiveness, quality of work….UNMATCHED!! These ladies made my wedding day so easy. Jen tells you exactly what to do and gets the job DONE! She also was very effective getting family pictures done with a dysfunctional and drunk group of friends/family, which added so much more time for me and my hubby’s pictures. My wedding was on a Monday and she sent me my pixie set to download the very next day! I’m telling you, UNMATCHED! They also bring along portable studio lighting that made the pictures turn out phenomenal. I didn’t know these ladies from Adam, but I’m so glad I chose them. I was a destination bride and I had a few guests tell me they wanted McLaughlin P&V to fly home to us to do their family portraits! Side note: I have always HATED professional pictures of me, but I have LOVED every single one so far! Book them, you won’t regret it!

    Nothing short of AMAZING!!

    Look no further than the staff at McLaughlin Photo & Video when choosing your wedding day photographer/videographer! Donna was wonderful to talk with on the phone and through email leading up to our wedding day. She was always super responsive and attentive to our needs every step of the way :)
    Special shout-out to the staff (Jen, Savannah, & Luke) who all showed up to capture our most memorable moments at our wedding - they were all so kind and professional!! We are completely blown away by all the beautiful images that we have seen so far as part of our preview. McLaughlin Photo & Video takes your wedding questionnaire and makes sure to include the photos/video footage that mean the most to you! Thank you McLaughlin Photo & Video for everything, you guys were by far one of our favorite vendors to work with!

    McLaughlin Photo & Video's reply:

    We think your photos are beautiful as well :) We appreciate your words and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Before you know it we will be sending you more. All the best for your Holiday Season. - Donna, Jen, Savannah, & Luke

    Amazing Photographers for Destination Wedding!

    We got their name from the list of preferred vendors from our venue and we LOVED working with them for our destination wedding in the Keys. They were so communicative leading up to the wedding day and on the day of they made sure we got all the photos needed! They were so quick to get us our sneak peeks photos as well as the full album. And we LOVE the photos!!

    McLaughlin Photo & Video's reply:

    Hi Morgan. We love your photos too :) Thank you for your kind words and those beautiful smiles, even from your fur kids ! It was fun to work with you and we wish you a fun life together with lots of trips to the Keys included. -Jen and Donna

    Our perfect day come to life

    I just had my wedding at the Marriott marathon Donna and her team were the photographers I choose and they are absolutely amazing. I did the pictures and drone video option and I have have no regrets. I love the entire album, the video breath taking. I highly recommend them for your events. They made my vision a reality one that I can keep looking at for ever.

    Phenomenal

    Hiring McLaughlin Photo and Video as our wedding videographer has to be one of the best decisions we made in a long time! Our wedding videos are phenomenal! I initially wasn't going to hire a videographer for our wedding. I was just going to have our photographer. However, 3 weeks before our wedding, I called and spoke to Jennifer and we completely clicked over the phone. I was sold and hired them. They are helpful, accommodating, flexible, professional and just all around wonderful! I'm overjoyed and grateful that they were our videographers!!

    McLaughlin Photo & Video's reply:

    Thank you Kathleen. We can feel the love you have for each other in your Videos ! You make us smile all around :) Jen and Luke really enjoyed working with you and it makes us all happy to know you love your Videos. - Jen, Luke, and Donna

    Zeien Wedding Islamorada Beach House

    We used McLaughlin Photography for our wedding pictures in Islamorada and we couldn’t have had a better experience than we did! From the moment I reached out for information about the business, questions were answered swiftly and professionally and with so much knowledge that I knew this needed to be the photographer that captured our special day! Then our wedding was here. Leslie was our main photographer and what a sweetheart of a person who has such an eye for knowing what makes beautiful pictures. She captured so much and you can actually feel the happiness that day❤️ Without a doubt I would recommend for anyone looking for top notch and low-stress, professional photographs!

    Best of the best

    If I could give 1000 stars, I would! From the very beginning, Donna was a true delight to work with. She made choosing McLaughlin Photo & Video the best decision for our wedding day- so easy from the start. There was never an email or question left unanswered. Never any pressure , and a ton of patience as we made up our minds. She throughly helped us decide the timeline , and made it super easy to put our trust in their work.
    We’ve not received the final batch of photos just yet, but we cannot let an amazing review left unread. Jenifer, Leslie , and team did a fantastic job working so hard the day of our wedding to capture every single precious moment and details. The photos and videos received so far have left us with the absolute best memories! Our hearts are bursting with happiness watching the videos. We are so grateful for everything all our vendors did to make our beautiful day a dream come true.

    McLaughlin Photo & Video's reply:

    Hi Mandy. We truly loved working with you and Chris!! You are fun, kind, and loving which we see in your photos and video. All the best for your full life together as a married couple!! - Jen, Donna, Leslie, and Savannah.

    Amazing!!!

    WOW!!!! We hired Mclaughlin Photo and Video for our wedding and we couldn't be more impressed. We had both photo and video and we cannot be more pleased. First the quality of the photos were phenomenal. We only expected one video, we received 5!!! Their team was absolutely outstanding and professional. They made sure we got all of the shots we requested and had plenty of ideas of their own as well. What an amazing company! We would recommend them to everyone. Thank You for being apart of our special day and capturing our memories that will last a lifetime.

    Mclaughlin Photo/Video Team made my wedding day perfect!

    There is not enough space here to explain how the team of photographers and videographers were beyond amazing, but to sum it up they went above it beyond to do everything they could to get the best picture and video. Im so happy i found them!

    Amazing, Amazing!

    Donna and her team were absolutely incredible! We originally hired them in the fall of 2019 for a June 2020 date and had an amazing engagement shoot at our venue (Baker's Cay Key Largo) in Fall 2019. We all know what happened to our original date. They were absolutely wonderful and worked with us through TWO postponements, keeping in touch with us over two years. On the wedding day they knew just where to be and when, with little direction, got all the shots we wanted-worked flawlessly with our other vendors, and got us our final portfolio exactly when promised. They even did some minor editing tweaks on the final video when asked. It was so much easier having the same photo and video team being from the same company-highly, highly recommend!

    McLaughlin Photo & Video's reply:

    Thank you Alyssa and Will. We really enjoyed working with you and will miss you this next year :) Stay in touch and we can't wait to hear how your new life as Mr. and Mrs. continues. - Donna, Jen, and Courtney

    Wonderful!

    I do not have one bad thing to say about McLaughlin photos! Jen and her assistant were just amazing! We had a 20 min. Down pour which got in the way but Jen stayed on track and we even got some pictures in the rain, WHICH I LOVE! She also stayed way longer than she was supposed too. Thank you so much, you really made my wedding photos perfect! Also I love that she asked couples at the wedding if they wanted individual pictures so I got to see everyone have a photo. 💙

    McLaughlin Photo & Video's reply:

    Thank you Dara. We love your photos and are so happy that our island rain did not last long and we made the most of it while it was there. You two have a fun and happy life :) - Donna, Jen, and Savannah.

    Talented and attentive to detail!

    Donna & her team are the best in the biz! They are patient, talented, attentive and deliver a high quality portfolio! I appreciated the advanced planning discussion that Donna scheduled to hear our wants/desires of the photo shoot! Her staff slayed the shots and edits that we’ve seen to date. I was also impressed by their ability to still capture tender moments with our impatient toddlers and a 10 month old baby. We are so happy with the initial preview of our wedding/elopement and look forward to the final portfolio! It was a super quick turn around (2 weeks) for the first preview and will be 3-4 weeks for all photos. Thank you!

    Thank you Stacie. We really enjoyed working with you and your beautiful family! You are beautiful together and it was fun seeing your smiles and happy life. All the best as Mr. and Mrs. - Donna and Leslie

    Couldn't Be Happier

    We had the pleasure of working with Donna for a surprise engagement shoot. She was such a pleasure to deal with on the phone while arranging the plans. She made me feel comfortable and answered al my questions. She candidly captured a beautiful moment for us with the utmost professionalism and discretion. The pictures could not have come out better. It was a wonderful experience.

    Perfect Photos & Video

    Donna and her team really captured everything I wanted, the video was great and having all that footage was so amazing to watch back!

    Awesome photographer!

    Working with Donna's team was amazing! The photographers were easy going, captured the feel of the wedding, and interacted with guests in a fun way. Most importantly, we are SO happy with our photos; they truly capture the love and happiness of the day and will be ways to remember it forever! I would recommend them to anyone getting married in the keys!

    Donna will make your dreams come true!

    We hired Donna Arnold from a distance, as ours was a “destination”’ Key West wedding that we planned while living in Jacksonville. (Her photography and videography speaks for itself!)
    Donna was beyond helpful and responsive from the first email, and even took the reins when planning our engagement photo session. We knew we wanted her to capture our engagement shoot- to get acquainted before working together on wedding day. Definitely the way to go! We walked away with almost 1000 pics from just an hour together!! It was easily the hottest July afternoon but Donna kept us smiling, laughing, and comfortable the whole time. She has such a calming presence.

    Deposits and payments were simple (Venmo) and she kept in touch with us as wedding day neared. During our last telephone conversation, Donna walked me through our timeline and suggested we consider a “first look” session (my partner & I were originally opposed to the idea). But let me tell you, we are SO GLAD we took Donna’s advice. The opportunity to capture additional photos together and with our wedding party before the shenanigans commenced was priceless (and it really calmed our nerves, as well). We will treasure those photos for a lifetime.

    Donna and her partner Jen worked so well together and our entire party loved them too. We had the night of our lives and could not have chosen a better team to capture it all! And the team works fast!! We had a nice preview album within a couple weeks of the wedding, and the full album took less than a month! Highly recommend MPV for your next special event.

    Thank you Stefanie. We loved getting to know you, Eddie, your fur babies, and all of your guests. Congratulations on being surrounded by love !! - Donna and Jen

    Excellent!

    Donna and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! She spent extra time with us due to an amazing sunset and I’m so appreciative because the photos turned out great. Weddings can be stressful enough but Donna made everything a breeze and was great with communication.

    The best wedding photographers!

    We absolutely loved working with Jen and Rachel at MPV. They are so talented, professional and brilliant. They created the most beautiful non-generic portrait photos in addition to amazing candid moments! We are so happy we chose them for our wedding day.
