MGM Photography

at far exceeded our expectations. From the very start, they were organized, professional, and incredibly kind. The planning process was seamless — they made my life so much easier by helping us map out our photo timeline and making sure every important moment and family grouping was covered. On the big day, they kept everyone comfortable, on schedule, and genuinely smiling, which made all the difference. The final photos are stunning — timeless, natural, and full of emotion. We feel the joy of the day in every image. We can’t recommend MGM Photography enough! Whether you’re planning a wedding or any type of photoshoot, you’ll be in the best hands with Melissa and Mark.

ail-oriented, and very creative - they took us out at night to get some really cool shots that turned out beautifully. They also helped keep our family happy and cooperative when things went awry during the day. MGM was so thoughtful and quick to respond, and they made our wedding day extra perfect by taking away any stress related to the photography. We are thrilled with the results and highly recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing photography team!

g with Melissa from our very first phone call through finalizing our wedding album. Melissa is personable, detailed, experienced, and is an extremely talented photographer. She made it easy for us to plan out our day of photography, took detailed notes that we used to help steer other vendors in the right direction, and asked great questions that allowed us to feel confident in our decisions and overall photography strategy. On the day of, Melissa came with great energy and enthusiasm. We stuck to the schedule we'd planned in advance, but she made sure that things moved along while we all still had a ton of fun and were able to experiment and be creative. There was never pressure to rush through any section of picture taking and that helped our whole party feel relaxed and comfortable. On the Groom's side, Mark photographed our getting ready process and the first look session with Matt and his mom. Mark was kind and very relaxed throughout that process. We utilized a hotel room to get ready so that the Bride and Bridesmaids could have the larger suite. It was impressive how Mark navigated the challenge of capturing excellent photos in a tight space with half a dozen people moving in and out. Watching Melissa and Mark work together throughout our family portraits, ceremony, and reception was really special. They have a shorthand that allows them to effectively communicate and create setups / capture photos quickly, while making what is likely a complicated process seem easy. It was honestly inspiring as a couple seeing that dynamic in action and knowing we were now on the path to deepening our relationship in a similar way. We cannot recommend MGM Photography enough. It was truly lovely working with them throughout the process and we were absolutely blown away by the quality and character of both our engagement session and wedding weekend photos. In conjunction with our venue, MGM Photography was the backbone of what wound up being a wedding that exceeded our hopes and dreams. We sincerely appreciate all their hard work and wish them nothing but the best in the future.

m start to finish. Very open, honest, and prompt in their communication. They know how to get the best shot and how to coach you so you look (and feel) your best and look comfortable in front of the camera. MGM got every single shot we wanted and more! They were absolute pros at wrangling family and friends for group photos and were seemingly everywhere during cocktail hour getting photos of our guests that we will cherish! Melissa also made sure we stuck to our timeline with precision, that both myself and my now husband stayed fed and hydrated, and was unflappable when a rainstorm that was not on the radar swept through. Turnaround times on the final photos was quick and Melissa was communicative throughout the entire process! MGM definitely elevated our wedding day and we highly recommend them!

their work is simply excellent - the photos they took on our wedding day are absolutely beautiful and amazing. They did an incredible job of capturing all the special moments, including helping to wrangle the kids during family photos. MGM was a true pleasure to work with and made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. After seeing the incredible photos they did for my sister's wedding, we knew we wanted MGM to photograph our big day as well, and they exceeded our expectations. The preview photos we've seen already look stunning and we can't wait to see the full gallery. Highly recommend MGM Photography to any couple looking for amazing wedding photos!

—natural, emotional, and beautifully edited. Not only were they amazing the day of the wedding, but their organization & communication leading up to the big day made the experience that much better. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented, professional & personable wedding photographers! - Kaitlyn & Tyler Bollard

that says a lot coming from a guy who doesn’t comment on things like that often! MGM was so easy to work with, they have amazing communication skills and are so easy to bounce ideas off of! they are open to our ideas but also give amazing ideas based off of their experience! the pictures we received are stunning and the experience I had with them was perfect! super happy all around

d them for your special day!!! They helped make my day perfect❤️

free as it could be. She was a delight for me and my husband and our families to work with. Melissa is extremely knowledgeable and helped create the wedding day timeline, suggested great locations for pictures, and on the actual wedding day kept us on track and made sure we got the pictures and the moments we wanted captured. She really valued my input and was able to see my vision and captured it beautifully. Melissa was so flexible (having a sunrise engagement shoot on the hottest day of the summer, changing dates or times as needed, etc) and so friendly throughout the entire process. She has a really incredible presence. She's able to instruct/command large groups of people really well or blend in during other quieter moments. Melissa and Mark both were able to capture incredible pictures and moments from our day and I would highly recommend their services to anyone! Look forward to using their other photography services in the future.

part of our package, which was an excellent way to get to know Melissa and feel comfortable posing with each other. Melissa was a pro at giving directions and had a lot of fun ideas for poses and backdrops at our engagement session and on our wedding day. Melissa and Mark captured the emotions and aesthetics of our day perfectly. We love how our photos turned out!

d incredible guidance throughout the entire process, from engagement shoot, to timeline creation, to day of pictures. Mark and Melissa approached every situation with professionalism and met every deadline punctually. Melissa’s experience is evident through her attention to detail. Our family and friends still rave about how great they were to work with on our wedding day. We really enjoyed working with them and have loved every picture we’ve seen!

mmend MGM Photography to anyone looking for a photographer to capture their wedding!

e many photos in a short period of time. She also was able to entertain my toddler flower girls and get them to look at the camera! I highly recommend!

he day of. We are so happy with the photos we received so far and are excited to see the rest! Melissa was also very responsive leading up to the day of. Highly recommend MGM photography for your wedding!

ganized, walking through a detailed timeline of the day with us ahead of time to make sure they knew how to fit in all of the photos we wanted. On our wedding day, they were very efficient in making sure they got as many great shots as possible without taking us away from our celebration for too long. They gave clear, swift, and kind direction for exactly how to pose in each photo, which we and our bridal party really appreciated. We opted for a first look, which turned out to be one of our favorite moments of the day. It felt like a fairy tale, in large part because of how perfectly Melissa and Mark set it up and directed us in the moment! For some photos, we had particular preferences that Melissa and Mark were very careful to make sure weren't missed on our wedding day. For most of them, we weren't even sure what we wanted, and trusted Melissa and Mark's expertise and creativity. From our preview photos so far, that trust was absolutely warranted, we're blown away by how great the photos look! One big reason we went with MGM Photography is because of the color and vibrancy of their portfolio photos, and that was definitely on display in our photos. For some reason The Knot isn't letting me upload photos, so here's a link to MGM Photography's preview photos from our wedding: https://www.instagram.com/p/DAyzuoIpOcG/?hl=en&img_index=1 Thanks again to Melissa and Mark for making sure our photos are as wonderful and special as our wedding day was :)

elissa and Mark got right down to business on our wedding day. Very responsive from the beginning. I would use these amazing duo again!

ing, making sure everything stayed on track during our wedding day. Their professionalism and dedication truly shone through, and we are absolutely thrilled with the quality of the photos they captured. We highly recommend MGM Photography to anyone looking for exceptional wedding photographers!

to ensure we got all photos we wanted the day of our wedding. Both photographers were easy to work with and gave clear directions to get beautiful photos! They were able to capture some of our favorite moments without us even knowing they were there. It was a pleasure getting to work with both Melissa and Mark and we would highly recommended them to anyone looking for high quality photos!

msmen getting ready while Melissa captured the ladies getting ready. They told us how to pose, instantly making us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. The photo-taking process was quick and efficient but it never felt rushed or stressful. Melissa very kindly helped us plan the day's schedule and helped us stick to it. Above all, Melissa and Mark were fun, kind, professional, and so easy to work with! We love all our preview photos and we can't wait to see the rest!

my baby bump and included our pup! All within the time allowed. I would recommend them to anyone who wants amazing pictures of the most important day of their lives. Thank you so much!

envisioned, helped us map out our day and even pivoted when we were running behind. All while keeping us on time and getting ALL the pictures we requested. As a team they are unbeatable and as people, a pleasure to be around and work with!!!

ld have done without her guidance. She kept in touch along the way and was always available for questions. When she arrived the day of, she knew exactly what needed to be done and when. Her calmness and professionalism is something that my husband and I truly appreciated. She really made sure we got the photos of our dreams. Thank you Melissa for making us feel like family and for your dedication to making our day so special.

plan out the timeline of our wedding day and made a list of all of the photos that were important to capture. The pictures have turned out to be amazing! We would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to all of our friends and family!

angles and made us feel relaxed when taking photos. Dont second guess your photography choices and choose MGM every time!

y of your future events.

d not disappoint! We chose the package that included the engagement session so Melissa got to know us, and just how much my husband loves having his picture taken :-) Melissa took the time to create a wedding timeline for us, which was a huge added bonus and helped our day go off without a hitch! She also took the time to chat with both of us to ensure she understood our vision for the day and what photos we really were hoping to have. I truly do not know what I would have done without her! We just got our photos back a month before the anticipated date and they are simply gorgeous! I was very impressed with the presentation when everything arrived. Thank you Melissa and Mark!

ssional, has a fun personality, and communicated in a timely manner. Melissa knows her stuff and will share her opinion about what will help the day go smoothly. I love that she posts previews of the photos while you're waiting for the full gallery!

ked us through it all! Very Very nice, kind, understanding and fun! Made the day AMAZING!

wedding day! Melissa & Mark are absolutely amazing people. Everyone loved them! Melissa is super easy to talk to, so nice & she helped us feel comfortable during our photos and on the wedding day! She was SO helpful when it came to the timeline of the wedding day too! I would have been lost without her. At the wedding Melissa got my (large & crazy) bridal party in order and got every single photo we asked for! She is superstar! She will do whatever it takes for you to have your perfect pictures! Having both of them was amazing, Mark was able to be with the guys while getting ready and Melissa was with the girls! Having them be with us on the most special day of our lives was so so so amazing and I couldn’t have had 2 better people! We adore our photos and are beyond thankful!!

ing day! They worked so well as a team and helped us capture the special moments we will never forget. Melissa is a great communicator and covers all bases. In addition- we received our pictures in such a fun way!! If I had to do it all over, MGM would absolutely be my choice!

orning of schedule, they were basically my wedding planners! On the actual wedding day they were a dream. They captured all the important moments, every shot on our list, tons of spur of the moment pics and great shots of our guests! They are great communicators that really made sure we had everything we dreamed of while still using their expertise to capture our day PERFECTLY! Melissa and Mark made everyone they were photographing feel so comfortable and relaxed that all of our photos are so authentic and not stuffy! We have so many incredible photos of our day and they even curated the most beautiful album for us. MGM goes above and beyond and I couldn't imagine my wedding without them!!

l comfortable, helped me construct my itinerary by specific times, and was full of energy. Melissa is so go with the flow and will do ANYTHING to make your day special. It poured on my wedding day and she was laying on the ground at one point for a bomb photo. This was affordable and we received our pictures in a very special way that I'll keep a secret. Thank you for capturing this day with the love of my life!

wedding timeline and many of the morning of details!

a huge part of that was due to Melissa. She worked so well with our other vendors and she coordinated herself to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted done. We love her editing and were excited to get sneak peaks while waiting for the full reveal. 1000% recommend.

lling to work with you in whatever sort of photos you want and they will guide you along to get the perfect shots. They arrive while you're getting ready and stay until the night is just about over. Definitely worth it and highly recommend them!

y wedding party. I felt like they were guests at the wedding rather than the photographers!

pecial moment, I am 100% telling you the truth. I am still reviewing our wedding photos and not a single one has been a disappointment! I can go on and on about the pictures but its more than that. Melissa and Mark make you feel both special and loved after a session with them. They have such good energy and truly love what they do. I knew from the engagement shoot that I had selected the right photography couple to capture our wedding day. They were there from beginning to end and became part of the family. I'm looking forward to working with them again for our family photos. I can promise you will not be disappointed when you select MGM Photography to capture those special moments!

a team, taking candids at all the best opportunities. Their professionalism and obvious mastery of their craft was so impressive that we just knew we had to see if they were available for our wedding date a year later, and luckily they were! Our engagement shoot with Melissa was so much fun, and helped us get comfortable being in front of a camera. Her energy and passion for photography is made obvious by her preparation, prompt and clear posing directions, and the special flash effects that were used to get some really cool shots. Leading up to the wedding, we had multiple planning calls with Melissa. These calls helped us plan so much more than just what shots we wanted. Melissa had a huge hand in planning our timeline and order of events, and answered any questions we had quickly and intelligently. On the day of, we were so amazed at how well they worked the timeline and kept everyone on track. Melissa made my young nieces feel so special and included during the getting ready shots, as they had never been professionally photographed before. We've received comments from family and guests since the wedding, indicating just how impressed they were also. "They were everywhere! They were lying on the floor to get those awesome angled shots!" Overall, we were completely blown away by their professionalism, speed, thoroughness, and positive and helpful attitude. They are true masters of their craft and we are so happy we chose MGM to capture these moments that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

ive, optimistic attitude (even when a thunderstorm was in the forecast). Melissa did a great job organizing the day and creating a detailed schedule ahead of time, and she talked us through every aspect of what the wedding timeline would look like in great detail to assuage our nerves. Once she and Mark arrived on the wedding day, it felt like I could take a deep breath because they were so professional and clearly knew what they were doing. Our photos are fantastic and we loved working with them. PS -- I highly recommend doing the free engagement shoot ahead of time! It was a great opportunity to get to know Melissa, and it eliminated one major unknown element on the wedding day. Because we met her a few months prior and worked with her for an evening, we knew her style and had complete faith in her attitude and professionalism.

. I highly recommend working with them and have every intention of hiring them again for any photo needs ☺️

wedding was prompt, friendly and super helpful. They did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and they all came out incredibly beautiful. It has made it hard to pick just few to hang in our home!! They have a knack for capturing the best moments and making you look good even if you're not used to getting your picture taken! Melissa was available all throughout our wedding planning to answer my questions and help create a schedule for the day which was super helpful, and then on the wedding day she was there making sure we were on track and moving onto the next thing. I really needed someone to take charge and lead us through the day and she was amazing, not to mention they were experts at wrangling our blended families for their photos. MGM made wedding planning easier and knowing that Melissa was there to help really eased my stress level. You can put full trust in them to help your day run smoothly and receive amazing photos to document your memories. I could go on!!! The preview after the wedding came super quickly and it was so fun to relive the day while it was all so fresh. I cannot thank them enough for everything. Overall, incredibly skilled photographers, great customer service and communication, reasonable prices, and just good people. Highly recommend!

xperience NAILED it. Not only were our pictures amazing, but they were also so great to work with and very personable. We enjoyed getting to know them. Melissa was always there via phone or text up to the day of the wedding and she even helped with the timeline. 10/10 would recommend. Their price is extremely fair and worth every penny.

mfortable and confident while she photographs you. You can tell she loves what she does and has fun doing it. Melissa and Mark both photographed our wedding starting with getting ready for the big moment. Again they both make you feel very comfortable and are also willing to help with anything you may need while getting ready. Our bridal party was 20 people and they knew how to take command of the room without being bossy and got the shots we needed. It started raining during the group photos and Mark and Melissa quickly adapted and continued shooting inside without a hiccup. All of the pictures have been absolutely perfect! I would recommend this husband and wife duo to anybody for your photography needs!

lissa was on top of everything! They were there from getting ready until an hour before the end and captured every photo on our long list. They were patient and kind and their work came out beautifully!
