ple, who take bad selfies, the best ways to pose and capture great photos. Kind, professional they felt like old friends or family. We’d definitely hire them again. We highly recommend their photography skills. 10 star rating!!! You’re awesome people. Love B & E
They were kind but quality is extremely poor and communication is almost non existent. They take pictures without even preparing the couple or subjects so people are always awkwar...

ap father who in a motorized wheelchair. I myself, have multiple sclerosis and at multiple times they were willing to offer to take breaks so that I could rest out of the sun and continue photos as the night went on. I have a deep appreciation for those who truly understand autoimmune diseases and being handicapped and it seems like Maggie & Steve really understood that on another level. They were so kind and considerate and we could not have asked for better photographers!
They did a great job. Highly recommend them. My venue coordinator dropped the ball a few times and I feel like they were there to help and communicate with us.
steve did an awesome job taking our photos on our wedding day. Even with the rain he was able to use his creativity to make our pictures look beautiful. You really couldn't even t...
ell it was pouring rain. Anyways he did an all around great job and pictures all turned out beautiful. Steve also went above and beyond to make my guest happy. All my guest complimented how good Steve was with everything. Highly recommend for anyone looking for photographer, you will not regret it.

ere very personable and made me feel comfortable. Not to mention that they were the only photography company that offered unlimited hours on our wedding day! And where else would you find a photographer who will tell you their best "dad jokes" to make you relax and laugh during your photoshoot! I loved having them!!
So much fun to work with and provided such great photos!
They were great! The photographers were funny and we enjoyed them. They photo were amazing and everyone in our party loved them!

gle one of them! They are a must have for your wedding, events, and any pictures!
Our experience at our wedding with Magek Photography was absolutely amazing. Not only did they take fantastic pictures but they helped us so much along the way with what they thoug...
ht worked best. We could ask them any question not even about pictures and they would give their expert industry advice. Further they were easy to communicate with and their website is so easy to use! Every single one of my guests said how nice they were and we could not have been happier.
PS: GET THE PHOTOBOOTH!! They recommended it to us and we came out with a bunch of awesome additional photos of our friends and family and it occupied the kids for hours! Great idea
Wonderful people wonderful pictures. I will be a customer for life
Steve and Maggie were beyond everything I ever expect for wedding photographers. I never had to worry if we were getting certain shots, they were on top of it the WHOLE time. They ...
were extremely professional and personable, they truly take pride and care in their work, and also in you. They treat every wedding as if it were their own daughters and you can see that in the photos. Not only did they photograph, but they also helped with scheduling and timing of things and gave their expert opinion on what looks best/works best in different aspects of the wedding. I could not recommend them enough.
We were told about Maggie and Steve through our videographer-and since they were so highly talk about we decided to go for it. That Was The Best Decision We Made!!! We were blown a...
way by them. From beginning to end they were focused on our needs and wants. If I ever I had a question I would shoot them a text and within a few minutes I had an answer. They are so down to earth and realize that wedding planning is stressful.
All in all we are truly so happy with everything and I would truly tell anyone to go with Magek Photography-you won't regret it!!
Excellent tag team, they were on time and created a day to remember. Would recommend for any and every occasion!!
Maggie and Steve were great! Everything from start to finish was great! I love the fact that they offer a variety of customizable packages! For us it was a little last minute choos...

Steve did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding photos! He was easy to communicate with, took so many pictures of things that I love and would not have thought of, and spent ...
the entire wedding day hustling around to make sure he got every possible shot. Anytime anyone pulled out a cell phone to take a pic, he was there to take a professional one as well. He helped us create some unique pictures specific to us as well as took more pictures than I could have even thought. He was truly the perfect photographer for us. Highly recommend!
Steve and Maggie photographed our wedding on January 12th. From the moment we met them, we knew they were going to be our photographers. We were impressed with their pictures and t...
hey were personable.
On the wedding day, they showed up on time and took great pictures! My parents still talk about how impressed they were with Steve and Maggie.
We were very happy with how our engagement and wedding pictures turned out! You won’t go wrong with them.
Maggie and Steve are the best! They make you feel comfortable in front of a camera even if it’s not really your thing. They’ve been doing this awhile and think of every detail in ...

ries of our special day are forever preserved thanks to this super duo! Their use of light and the surrounding objects add so much detail to every one of our photos! From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much for the memories.
One take-away that I got from my wedding experience is that I made an amazing choice when I picked Steve and Maggie to be our photographers. They are charismatic, super funny, warm...
, and very personable. On the professional side, they are organized, diligent, experienced, and attentive to the things that you would like to incorporate into your big day. I never felt rushed or side-lined. During our wedding, they captured big moments as well as small details that I was happy to see later on (like the cake and table settings prior to guests arriving). I generally don't like taking pictures, but they were incredibly patient about my insecurities and the pictures came out beautiful! I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for affordability that doesn’t come at the expense of quality and a positive experience. I could go on forever... they are the absolute best choice!
My husband and I love Steve and Maggie! I had first heard of them because they were my sisters photographer at her wedding so when I saw my sisters pictures and worked with them in...
the past I knew I wanted them for my wedding. I had my bridal shots which were returned super quick and they were fantastic! They are super fun and they have great ideas for different pictures! Their attention to detail and creativity is perfect! We couldn’t have had a better team to capture of wedding for us!
From someone who hates there picture taken they made me feel comfortable. One of my favorite things is that while we were getting ready they didn’t make us feel like we were gettin...
g our pictures taken. I honestly forgot they were there . They let us be us . My now husband and his friends are huge goof ball and they just let them be. They also got us a family picture with my husband huge Cuban family which was a task by itself. They understood how much my kids mean to us and made sure to get a lot of pictures of them. My father passed a few years before the wedding and made sure that I had some special picture with a picture I framed of him. They have answer ever email before and after with an hour and also helped to keep me on a timeline before the wedding. I could go on and on about how amazing they are
Steve and Maggie are very professional and deliver quality product. All of our pictures came out perfect. Also they delivered our pictures within 2 weeks while some friends who got...
married before us are still waiting to get all the photos back. They dedicate one whole day to you, which makes them better than anyone in the town. Everyone else has a very unreasonable 4-6 hour policy with ridiculous overtime charges.
They were on time for all our appointment. They work together as a team so you get, two wonderful photographer. Also, if you are getting married you should see how well these two work together and try doing that for the rest of your life. I would highly recommend them to all my friends.
Steve and Maggie are a great team and take amazing photos! We were blown away by our wedding photos and we didn't have to wait forever to see them. Within 3 weeks we had full acces...
s to all of our wedding day shots. They have an easy-to-use online portal to view and share our photos with friends and family. We could even use privacy features to keep some photos to ourselves.
Leading up to the wedding, they provided tips and reminders to be prepared for the day of. On our wedding day, they worked as a team to capture every moment and photo we requested efficiently.
Steve and Maggie were always on time, professional, prepared, and fun. In addition, they were the ONLY photographers we met with that gave us the entire day (not just 5 hours) for a great rate.
We enjoyed working with them for our wedding and are very happy with our photos!

They gave us some great thoughts and suggestions. They sent us a checklist to help us make sure we got all the shots we wanted. On the day of our wedding, they were totally awesome!

iving required information. Ours was an inter-cultural marriage, which means a very long day. Steve and Maggie were with us from before 7 am on our wedding day, to at least mid-night. They were smiling, taking pictures, and were one of our constant support throughout the day. Our guests loved them too, and everyone had great things to say about their professionalism and personality. And that's not all, the pictures turned out to be AWESOME! Everyone loved their work. We can't be happier to have chosen Magek photography to cover our special day. We actually miss them!

own forever. We originally met them while they photographed another friend’s wedding. My husband (fiancé at the time) and I had been searching for a quality photographer for our own wedding this past October and we’re so excited when we met Steve and Maggie. From the moment we committed to Magek Photography, we were completely taken care of! They are extremely detail oriented, accommodating, patient, friendly and so much fun to work with!! They edited our photos in a timely manner and they turned out better than we could have ever imagined! You’d be CRAZY not to work with these fine people! Thanks again Steve and Maggie!!

ur day amazing.
My wedding was exactly 2 weeks after hurricane Harvey made landfall in Houston so it was extremely scary and stressful time for us. Maggie and Steve answered every question and email I sent and helped find me a new officiant when mine bailed a week before the wedding.
Day of the wedding Steve arrived on time and jumped right in. He was such a pleasure to work with, he had so many great tips and tricks that helped so much! Our friends and family are still talking (over a month later) about how impressed they were with Steve.
I hired Maggie and Steve on the recommendation of the staff at my venue, and they were right! Maggie was my photographer (along with her daughter on the day of) and I couldn't have...
asked for anyone better. She was so helpful before the wedding, answering all of my questions and making sure she had a list of all of the shots I wanted. And on the day of, she got a lot of great photos without being in the way of anything! I received my edited photos 3 weeks after my wedding and they are beautiful. They really capture the magic of the day!
Magek Photography was fantastic! So easy to work with and they were everywhere catching sweet memories for us! We HIGHLY recommend them!

Even their posed photos still felt very natural and organic, and they still kept shooting for all the goofy stuff me and my husband did in between!
The way they distribute the photos from their site is also amazingly easy to access and SUCH a convince for someone with family strewn across the globe!
I would recommend them to anyone that asked!
