To me, it's not just about your day. It's not about whether or not you do a first look, have a small or big ceremony, or choose to have a giant party of a reception or an intimate dinner after your ceremony with just your closest friends and family. To me, it's about you.
Which is why I am the photographer who cares about knowing you in the process. The photographer who answers your text messages when you are overwhelmed with planning, helps you pick your outfit for your engagement session, listens to you gush about how freakin excited you are to marry the love of your life. The photographer who is in your freakin corner to hype you up every single step of the way. More than just a photographer. A friend.
From planning calls about timelines, to questionnaires about your vision for your day, to location scouting for your dream spot for reading your vows- I'm here to serve and support you. Dream with you. Cheer for you. And to make sure you not only soak up every moment of your perfect day, but that you have a gallery of images that let you go back and feel it, for the rest of your lives.
Because it's about more than just pretty pictures of you in your dress or of pretty flowers that don't last. It's about taking a moment in time, and giving it back to you in images you'll cherish forever. Images that feel like you. Images that mirror all the silly, quirky inside jokes between you and your love. Images that reflect the quiet, intimate moments that are just for the two of you.
Images that bring the narrative, your relationship's narrative, to life.
I'm Maggie. And I'm not focused on your wedding day.

The heart of my business starts way before a camera ever enters the picture.
the truth about how it all started
I've always had this heart for storytelling. From being a little girl playing with Barbies and putting on dramatic plays for my parents, to determining that I was going to be a child author in the third grade, all the way to my attempted vlog channel on Youtube in college.
Why does that matter for you on your wedding day? Because your wedding day is just that: a story. And my promise is to really see those little details like your bridesmaids giggling over stories from college while getting ready. And your grandparents holding hands while they admire young love during your ceremony. My promise to you is to notice, to document, to tell your story, one frame at a time.
Clearly, a few things have changed since I was 6 years old aspiring to be a modern day Barbie Shakespeare, but the heart of the thing is and has always been the same: to tell the story, to evoke emotion, to see and honor human connection.

RELATIONSHIP. Relationship is the secret sauce to those magical images like you melting in your honey's arms or the two of you nuzzled up together, giggling and kissing like no one is watching.
Because let's be honest... if you want those pictures that look natural, authentic, and so totally you, then you need to feel natural, authentic, and so totally you!
And that doesn't just happen by hopping on one consult call and then showing up with a camera on your day. That happens when we get to build genuine relationship.
My heart is to really know you and your relationship. So that we can get those intimate moments of you and your groom writing your vows the morning of your elopement, and the genuine laughter of your closest friends and family sitting around one table at your micro wedding. And yes, those dreamy photos of just you and your groom, after finally saying "I do" and officially becoming husband and wife.
the secret sauce to making you look GOOD.
