Exactly what we hoped our Engagement Session would be!
We cannot thank Rory enough for our Engagement photos!
She made us feel quickly comfortable in the limelight, and surpassed our expectations when it came to the quality and quantity of our photos. She was so easy to contact and coordinate with both ahead of and after the shoot.
We really appreciate that she gave us the "picture perfect poses" along with all of the goofy grins in between. She gave us ideas for poses and let us lead some of the positions, guiding us when she thought something might not work out the way we pictured it. Couldn't recommend her more highly!Rory McCann Photography's reply:
Thank you, Lauren & John! I had so much fun working with you guys. You made it easy and effortless, and I know you'll bring the same joy and creativity into your wedding planning and beyond! -

My husband and I hired Rory this past August to photograph our wedding. Not only was her final product amazing, but Rory was a true joy and pleasure to partner with the entire time. It truly felt like working with a close and caring friend.
Rory was organized and professional, checking in with us regularly leading up to the big day so she knew exactly which shots were important to us to capture. On the day of the wedding she was extremely easy going and laid back - something I very much appreciated. Rory made our day feel seamless and natural, while still taking charge to make sure all shots were captured. We truly felt taken care of.
Rory also captured every little detail - even those I missed on the actual day. I really enjoyed going through the albums and seeing the great care and meticulous detail she put into each shot. Everyone should work with Rory, she is fabulous! -

We loved working with Rory!
It's difficult to begin to describe how incredible our experience with Rory was, because there were so many wonderful parts of our experience with her.
Going into our wedding planning process, we knew that the photographer was one of the most important elements for both of us. Aside from that we weren’t too certain on exactly what we wanted and chose to interview Rory based on her portfolio, which was diverse in every sense of the word and featured natural-looking shots of all kinds of people. From our initial consultation with Rory, she made us feel right at ease, and she was able to hone in on exactly the things we were looking for.
If you are on the fence about getting an engagement shoot with her, absolutely do it! It wasn’t high on our priority list in our wedding planning, but it really meant so much to have a chance to meet Rory in person before the actual wedding day, and the photos she captured were stunning. The shoot took place in my parents’ backyard due to last minute rain the day before. It was shocking how unidentifiable the location was - the focus was not on the yard, but on the way Rory captured us!
As for the wedding day itself, Rory captured it perfectly, even despite us getting rained out mid-ceremony. In photos, the transition mid-ceremony to cover was totally seamless, even though it was chaotic in the moment. Rory was super flexible with all of our needs - she worked with us to make sure we got photos at all of our must-have locations on the wedding day, along with all of the specific group shots that we wanted. She was also very observant and managed to catch a gap in the rain which let us get a few very special outdoor group shots.
The other highlights in particular which stood out to us -
Rory was like a ninja on the wedding day. There are some photos we looked at and my first thought was “wait, Rory was there?” It was incredible how she was able to totally blend in the background and capture so many special moments on our wedding day, just totally unscripted.
We were shocked at how well Rory captured the personalities of our guests. Some of our guests are usually a little more reserved with their emotions, but when they let them show, Rory was there to document it. We ended up with so many special family photos because of it. Everyone who was part of the day, from the 2-year-old flower girl to my 99-year-old grandmother to my mom’s elderly dog, was photographed beautifully. There’s also a wonderful ‘progression’ of shots of us almost knocking the cake over that Rory got that still makes us laugh when we look at it.
The photos overall were beautiful! We loved the colors, warmth, and how perfectly Rory captured the day. It was like seeing a moment of our day frozen, rather than a posed and stiff Formal Photo. We also got a ton of them from her which we were so excited to have.
Overall, our experience with Rory was so special, and left us with so many amazing memories. We would choose her again in a heartbeat if we are ever having photos done, and you would absolutely not be making a wrong choice to choose her as well.Rory McCann Photography's reply:
Wow Kate, thank you so much! It was an absolute joy working with you and Alan from start to finish - truly a highlight of this past year! I think so fondly on you both and your wedding day and know I will for a very long time! :) -

Such a wonderful photographer!!!
When my husband and I inquired with Rory, we instantly knew we wanted her to photograph our wedding! Not only is Rory an AMAZING photographer, but she is such a down-to-earth person to work with and made my husband and I so comfortable. She allowed us to be ourselves and just have fun, which on your wedding day is so important. Rory was open to any suggestions for photo opportunities and truly made our wedding photograph dreams come to life. We are so glad we hired Rory for our wedding! We just got our photos back and they are absolutely beautiful!Rory McCann Photography's reply:
Thank you, Courtney! You and Aaron were fantastic to work with, making it easy to capture your beautiful day and showcase the love all around :) -

It's a pretty sensitive time of your life, when you're trying to immortalize something immense into just a few hours of sunlight. Emotions are running high, and when you feel yourself losing your grip, having good people around you to help you stay strong is important.
Rory was a pillar of support and encouragement from the very beginning, sending us a long sheet explaining how important it is to be comfortable and happy in the photos, not just pretty. I had a lot of worries about my hair and hat, and Rory was very responsive to my anxious texts and patiently reassured me that we would have some good pictures out of the lot. And despite all my conviction that my hair looked awful and my hat stuck up weird, I still look found many keepers and feel torn trying to choose my favorite. Thank you Rory for being there for me through the waiting process and for all your gentle words!Rory McCann Photography's reply:
Thank you, Aurora! It was great to work with you and Brian. I appreciate your trust in me, as well as your sense of adventure, both of which made magic in front of the lens. It's an honor to be a part of your love story! -

We booked Rory in early 2019 to work our 2021 wedding. She was encouraging, supportive and always available to chat about our uncertain wedding plans after Covid hit. She was flexible with changing our package and pricing, and travelled to capture our small wedding. We were so grateful to have not just a photographer, but a positive influence, to help us on our big day. She was full of useful knowledge about different aspects of wedding day preparations, kept us on schedule, and guided people to achieve the portraits we wanted. We received tons of compliments about how respectful and helpful Rory was. 10/10 would recommend.Rory McCann Photography's reply:
Thank you, Danielle! You and Dana have been incredible to work with. It was an honor to be a part of your special day! -

Emily Sent on 06/25/2019Magical photographer!
I can’t say enough good things about Rory. I was so nervous thinking about the photography aspect of the wedding as I’m not someone who likes to be photographed. I make really awkward faces when a camera comes out, I can’t help it!
Rory worked her magic and prevented this from happening! Working with her ahead of time for an engagement shoot really helped my husband and I feel so much better. We even got some great photos of our dog during the shoot. Leading up to the ceremony Rory communicated with us about all the details. She was very thorough.
On the day of the wedding Rory was like a photo ninja. I really wanted natural photos of everyone having a good time at the reception. She made sure to keep our solo photos short like we asked so we could get to the party.
The photographs came out AMAZING. Even the solo photos of my husband and I! Rory was so easy to work with and made a part of the wedding I was dreading enjoyable!
Thank you Rory!Rory McCann Photography's reply:
Thank you, Emily! You guys were an absolute blast to work with. It was an honor to celebrate with you! -
Emily Sent on 08/01/2018Our wedding was this past June, and a photographer was our most difficult choice of vendor.... until we met Rory. My husband and I were looking for a good photographer that wouldn’t break the bank... what we got was a wedding album full of the most beautiful photographs I could have ever imagined. I have dabbled in photography and because of that, I’m extremely picky but not educated enough about it to know what’s possible and what isn’t... so I’m basically a photographers worst nightmare but I didn’t tell her that!
Rory was so easy to work with from the very start. She consulted with us over the phone, got an idea of who we are and what we were looking for, and immediately emailed us a timeline for both the wedding day and the months leading up to it. She checks in at 90 days away and 30 days away, and then again at about a week.
She showed up at my venue on time and ready to work. We were having hair and makeup done on site, and she was snapping pictures the entire time but I honestly didn’t even notice most of them!
We opted for first look photos and she orchestrated the entire thing perfectly. Family photos and bridal party photos were done the same way, incredibly efficient and even with our large family, she captured every picture we wanted in about 20 minutes to a half hour (bride with her parents, bride with her son, groom with his mom, groom with dad, stepdad, stepmom, etc...). My mother is particularly impatient with photos and even she was relaxed and happy the whole time.
Our reception photos are amazing. Everyone said “I can’t believe how many pictures she took!!” And she did take a ton. There’s not one picture I wished I had her take, she intuitively knew what to do and knew what we wanted from our phone conversations.
She even snuck us outside for a sunset shoot that was simply magical. Our wedding was on a golf course where I work, so not only were we dodging some golf balls but we also had to keep stopping for membersRory McCann Photography's reply:
Thank you so much, Emily!! You and John are amazing and were a joy to celebrate! <3 -

Elisabeth Sent on 11/15/2017When you're planning your wedding, it's natural to have high hopes for how your photos will turn out. Everyone wants timeless images that properly capture the emotion of their big day. If you're looking for someone who is as committed to your goal as you are, Rory is the photographer for you.
A rising star, Rory surpassed every expectation we had. She captured our day beautifully; we know we'll look back fondly at the photos she delivered for the rest of our lives. She was a joy to work with and we are thrilled with our decision. We highly recommend you hire Rory before she's only available to shoot the weddings of celebrities.Rory McCann Photography's reply:
Oh my gosh, you guys are amazing. Love you guys, and I loved capturing your day! Thank you for choosing me, and for making my dreams come true! -
