Ed and Katie were absolutely exceptional! They worked seamlessly as a team and captured so many amazing photos of our big day. We are beyond thrilled with how our photos turned out.
If you're looking for photographers who will go above and beyond to document your special day beautifully, look no further than McMillen Photography. We couldn’t recommend them enough!
We had a great experience with McMillen Photography! Our photographer, Ed H and Amie, were great to work with and took great photos!
Superior photography service. Ed and Brandon were so warm and friendly and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed on our big day.
We are so happy with McMillen Photography! Everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are gorgeous. Our wedding photographers — Bailey and Travis — captured every special moment throughout the day beautifully, and they were super friendly and helpful! And we got our photos much faster than expected!
We booked both Ed (photographer) and Steve (DJ) for our wedding in April. All I can say is that they both made the day! Ed took beautiful photos, was there before he said he would arrive, and was super easy to work with! Steve was very friendly, listened to what we wanted and made wonderful suggestions. He even got involved with the crowd on the dance floor! They both made the day run smoothly, and we couldn’t have had the wonderful wedding we did without. Super professional from the beginning!
We booked Steve for our wedding DJ and all I can say is WOW. He was incredible. Our dance floor was packed all night and it was because of his high energy and song selection. We had so many compliments about the music and the experience. I don't think my husband and I stopped dancing most of the night. My 94 year old great-aunt was on the dance floor until 11p. You need Steve!!!
We had such a fun time with our photographers and everything came out perfect! Could not recommend more!
Ed H was our photographer and he did an amazing job. We loved how our photos came out. He was a fun person to work with on our wedding day. McMillen Photography did a great job keeping us informed and were very easy to communicate with. Loved them!
All we can say is wow! We were married July 8, 2023 at Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh. Picking a photographer was one of the things that as a bride, I stressed about the most. During our search, I turned up McMillen Photography and instantly knew that they were the answer. Their packages were reasonably priced and included a lot and their photographers came highly rated.
We were lucky enough to have Ben and Ed as photographers on our big day. Both Ben and Ed were easy to work with, very respectful, and made the day stress free. Kailee in the office was always responsive and the individuals who completed the editing did such an amazing job. We couldn’t have asked for more.
Ed H & Amie we’re wonderful. They captured our big day perfectly.
Kailee is also super responsive & helpful throughout the booking/keeping up to date process. 🙂
We had McMillen Photography for our wedding photos, and we could not have been happier with them!! We had Ben McMillen as our photographer for our free engagement session and for the day of our wedding and he is the definition of an ultimate professional! He kept things moving along so nicely and did not waste any time getting as many shots for us as he could. He was so efficient, but also kept it so fun for us and our families and friends making quick little jokes between shots! His photos are STUNNING and you can just tell he loves what he does. His wife Kailee handles most of the communication for the company, and she is super responsive! I would 10/10 recommend McMillen for your big day!! Thank you so much Ben!
We were recommended McMillen through a family friend who used them and we were not disappointed! We picked the package to include engagement shoots and 2 photographers at our wedding! Coming from a couple who does not like to have their picture taken they made us feel comfortable and looking natural in front of the camera! Jen and Ed were great! I would recommend them to anyone!
Highly recommend McMillen Photography for your wedding needs! We communicated with Kailee the most and she is super pleasant, quick to answer, and helped us with any questions/concerns throughout the whole process. Bailey was our photographer the day of and she was the best! She was super friendly and a very calming person to have around you on a stressful day! Our pictures turned out beautiful and the turn around time on everything with them is very reasonable. My Bridesmaid enjoyed my experience with McMillen so much that she booked them for her wedding this year. 100% recommend!
We found out about McMillen Photography from our venue Valley View Farm. McMillen works with Valley View very frequently so they are very familiar with the property and worked seamlessly with the Valley View team. They even gave us a free engagement session which we used for are save the dates. Ben was our main photographer he took all the pictures I was looking for and took us all around the property. He made sure to get the pictures in a timely manner because he knew how busy and excited we were. We got a ton of pictures and even got our pictures back in 3 weeks which is super quick for a summer wedding. You will not be disappointed if you use them!
McMillen is absolutely amazing to work with! We are in love with all of our pictures. Would recommend them to anyone!
We are so happy that we went with McMillen Photography for our wedding day! Robin and Amie were an amazing duo! They kept things running smoothly and had great ideas for different locations and poses for our photos. We were very happy with the timeline of receiving our photos and they turned out amazing. Thanks for helping make our special day perfect!
McMillen Photography was nothing shy of absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding day!! When our photographer arrived at the hotel where we were getting ready at, I told her I wasn’t sure where she would hang my dress to take pictures of it because the doorways did not have a lip to hang the hanger on, but she figured it out and I would have never thought of it. She made sure to get pictures of the flower girls getting their hair done and got great candids of little moments in between! It is very nice for younger people who have Pinterest boards with ideas of pictures they want captured because there is an option to attach your Pinterest board when you do the questionnaire! Our photographer was Jen, and she made sure that she captured everything we wanted and more!! My husband’s family is huge, I’m talking 50 plus people were in the group photo at the end of the night, and she made sure that we all fit without looking smashed together!! Would HIGHLY recommend for all of their services!!
Bailey was phenomenal for capturing our special day. Every detail was turned into a magical reflection. Bailey was patient, understanding, and kind to our families and guests. We wish there were 6 stars to rate the quality and experience.
McMillen Photography has been wonderful to work with. I am notorious for talking through photos and Ben kept us on track and moving forward. Everytime I turned around I would find him capturing the most endearing moments through out the night. We are so excited to see the results of his hard work. Also, shout out to Kailee, who kept us informed throughout the whole process!
McMillen Photography was absolutely wonderful. The team, from booking with Kailee to the wedding day with Ben and Ed, were all very professional and easy to work with. They were also affordable, which is huge! We especially appreciated Ben and Ed helping out with things they certainly did not need to, like finding the power outlet for the microphones at the ceremony site.
The photos turned out amazing. Ben and Ed were personable, made me feel comfortable --which is not easy because I don't particularly like my photo being taken and I despise being the center of attention-- and were easy to work with. They also took our suggestions on locations to take photos we previously scouted out, even though they required quite a bit of walking up and down hills. I did not even notice the photographers around most of the reception, yet they captured all the right moments.
We highly recommend McMillen Photography!
McMIllen photography was an absolute joy to work with. We had shopped around for wedding photographers and could not find anyone with the experience and great reviews at a similar price point. We were thrilled to find that the photography package included no set time limit instead of the 4 to 6 hours that came with similarly priced packages. It also included a second photographer and free engagement session at their studio.
Ben, the owner, did an amazing job with our engagement photos and left us feeling confident that we were getting high quality professional photos. On our wedding day, Bailey was our lead photographer and we had Travis as a wonderful bonus. They took nearly 10 hours of photos from getting ready in the morning until the end of the reception. We found both photographers to be friendly and dedicated to getting us pictures that we would treasure. I assume this experience has been shared by many as McMillen Photography is recognized in The Knot's Best of Weddings Hall of Fame.
McMillen Photography is amazing and can 100% be trusted to provide you with memories to last a lifetime! Always responsive, they took care of us during the height of Omicron fears. Ed Hughes was an amazing photographer, listened to our needs, and got incredible shots based on our requests. We highly recommend! Oh - and they're affordable!
McMillen Photography came as a recommendation from our venue and a friend I work with had used them for her wedding. I was very pleased as they had 2 photographers still available after we moved our wedding date due to COVID. We had Ed H and Ed J and are EXTREMELY pleased with them! They showed up early the day of the wedding which I always appreciate. They were both very laid back and casual which I appreciated because neither myself nor my husband are big "picture takers" and they made us feel much more comfortable. They worked to ensure that all the photos we wanted were taken and they also had several ideas themselves for cute photos. We have not gotten the photos back yet but I am sure they are going to be beautiful. Their coordinator, Kailee, was our correspondent and answered all of my e-mails very quickly.
McMillen did my brothers wedding in August of this year. We recently got the photos back and I cannot begin to describe how beautiful they all are. The variety of photos was astounding. HUGE shout out to Bailey, who was their lead photographer!
I actually work in the wedding industry as a coordinator and have worked with many photographers. Bailey was so amazing to work with. She was assertive and kept us on track but was also laid back which put everyone else at ease and helped us to have a fun time while taking pictures.
I would highly recommend McMillen to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. We had such a wonderful experience with everyone we delt with on their team. My brother and sister in law are so happy with their photos!
Terrible Terrible experience. McMillen did the video for our wedding in May 2021 and it has been nothing but a headache dealing with them. Upon receipt of our "highlight" video and raw footage of the wedding we found that they excluded the Groom / Mother dance, Bride / Daughter dance (which took the place of the Bride / Father dance)....When I called Kailee at McMillen I was told that the videographer was still eating and missed the dances. Also, the maid of honor speech was missing 45 second from the middle of the speech and they just spliced the speech together and acted like it was the whole speech. We never received the complete raw video package that we were supposed to receive. Camera work was terrible also. Ceremony was from one spot behind the groomsmen so the whole video you just see the back heads of the groomsmen. At the reception key moments were out of frame because the whole reception was filmed on a tripod and if you moved out of frame you are out of luck. The owner Ben and Kailee do not return any calls or emails. It has been nothing but a headache with them and we feel extremely cheated. Poor Quality, and certainly not professional on any level.
I am so happy we decided to go with McMillen for our wedding. We had Bailey as our photographer and she was amazing! I loved the energy that she brought to our wedding day. We had our wedding reception at valley view farm in Waynesburg and she had an incredible vision for the photos. It was about 90 F on our wedding and the heat was absolutely horrible, but Bailey got through the photos quickly and smoothly and I know they will look absolutely beautiful. If you go with McMillen you need to request Bailey! Kam with McMillen was also the videographer for our wedding and he did an awesome job. Highly recommend!
Mcmillen was great to work with. We had Sara and Ed at our wedding day and they were fantastic. One of the photographers was going to be late due to an accident and Sara made sure to inform me and let me know of the situation as soon as she knew. They were easy to contact and easy to talk to.
Overall I would recommend them over and over again. They were awesome.
Ben was absolutely amazing! We really could not have asked for a better photographer. He is so experienced and skilled and knows just what to do to make something so simple into an amazing photograph. He is very efficient in getting through all the photo combinations you need and tells you exactly what to do. McMillen Photography is what you need for your wedding!! Don't wait! Book now!Thank you Ben!!!
We absolutely LOVED working with McMillen Photography! Our photos were absolutely fabulous - and there were so many capturing every detail and so many precious moments! We received our digital copies very fast. Everyone at McMillen was very easy to work with. Sara was our lead photographer and did an outstanding job! We would definitely recommend McMillen to other couples!
I was a Covid bride and McMillen Photography were an absolute dream to work with as I postponed my wedding 4 times... yes 4. Even though I had to changed photographers each time due to availability, I always got one that fit my style. Kailee is a dream to work with and always gets back to you with any questions you may have. When my big day finally arrived, Jen was my photographer. She fit in PERFECTLY!! She was easy to get along with and was basically part of the family within 20 minutes. She even clowned my husband any time he wouldn’t follow directions. We loved it! Amazing personality! Then as icing on top of the cake, we got our photo proofs in a week. A week. I have never been so happy with a vendor then McMillen photography! Thank you for making my day so wonderful! Highly recommend!!!
Used photography and DJ services - both were fantastic. The photographers made us feel very comfortable and got great shots. The DJ had excellent music choices and got everyone dancing.
Very professional and an amazing Photographer at our Wedding.
Everyone that he engaged with, mentioned how awesome and how easy he made it for them.
We could not of been happier and very pleased with the online link and flash drive we received!
Thanks Ben McMillen!!
Our wedding was on Nov 7th 2020......... Eric & Sherry Betz
We had Zach and Ed as our photographers from McMillen photography and they could not have been more professional, friendly and easy to work with! They made our day so special. I can’t say enough good things about McMillen Photograhy!
McMillen Photography was great to work with. Quick to respond to any of your needs. Everyone was friendly. Zach was our photographer, and he was great to work with! He was fun and made sure we got the photos we wanted. Good pricing. Especially for having a photographer all day.
I loved Ed! Everybody did! He was so personable and easy-going. It was nice to be able to laugh and joke with the person who was taking your picture all evening. He dealt with my difficult family and was super understanding with any changes that were made last minute. All in all, I’d be so happy to recommend this company (specifically Ed Hughes) to anybody getting married looking for a fun photographer (and a great price).
Jen was amazing! She worked great with what we wanted and with our pretty large families. I can’t even write a review that would describe how happy and thankful I was to have such a great person do our wedding photography! I would HIGHLY recommend her and the rest of the staff at McMillen to anyone. We worked with Ben for our engagement photos and he was great as well.
We absolutely loved McMillen Photography! They were so personable and helpful throughout the whole process! Our photographer was Ed Hughes! I was completely and absolutely blown away with him! We absolutely LOVED him! He made our wedding day and photos run so smoothly and quickly exactly how we wanted. I would highly recommend him to everyone! Our entire bridal party was absolutely blown away with how wonderful and personable he was! By the end of the wedding I thought more of him as a friend then just a hired photographer! If you choose him I PROMISE you will not be disappointed!
I cannot speak highly enough of McMillen Photography! From the very beginning, they were so personable and went out of their way to find a package best suited to our budget. They were very forthcoming about all the different services they offered, but they never once made me feel pressured to utilize their other services.
They allowed me to set up a payment plan to pay for their services, which I absolutely loved. Again, it just goes to show their flexibility and willingness to work with their clients.
Our photographer was Ed Hughes. If you have the option to choose someone, MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THIS GUY! Not only is he phenomenal at his job, but he is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make you laugh. He is a character and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. He kept cracking jokes and was very engaging with the entire crowd, not just the bride/groom. He communicated with us through our planning process and let us know if he needed anything from us. I provided him with our ceremony outline, day-of timeline, and a list of photos we wanted on our big day to help communicate with him better. He was quite punctual, even arriving early to set up and photograph the space before focusing on the bride and groom. He knew exactly how to pose us as well as the bridal party and family to get the best shot. Plus, he repeatedly asked if we wanted any other photos throughout the night to make sure we were absolutely satisfied. It was also nice that he showed us the photos periodically to make sure we were happy with them, too.
Like I said, McMillen Photography was our dream photography company. They lived up to their reputation. There is a reason they have won so many awards, and we are so excited to get our prints back soon!
Kimber was amazing! She paid attention to details and our interests. She even stayed a little longer to make sure we got any additional pictures with loved ones we may have missed at first. We also had our engagement pictures done with them and Ben was awesome. Will use mcmillen photography for anything else we need in the future and will definitely recommend!
My photography was amazing! Great studio to work with- highly recommended!
Ben took our engagement photos earlier this year and they were phenomenal. Soon after, I booked Bailey to shoot our wedding! She was so much fun and took hundreds of amazing photos. I've gotten so many compliments!
I also used DJ and photo booth services through McMillen which I highly recommend! Brett was our DJ and was amazing! He had the perfect mixture of music and the dance floor was packed the entire night. He helped us with last minute timeline changes and adapted quickly so everything ran smooth.
Channon ran our photo booth and it was a hit, everyone had a blast and she put together an album with all of the photo strips and had people sign and gave it to us at the end of the night, I'm so glad we decided to do the photo booth!
I highly recommend Bailey Thorn - she was sharp, direct, fun, and tactful to work with, and our finished pictures were inspiring. We're so happy with our photos.
They are absolutely wonderful to work with, they are so knowledgeable and professional, also just fun to be around on an exciting day. I haven’t received all of my pictures yet (wedding just last week) but every one I have seen so far is Stunning!!!! I would 100% recommend booking these guys for your wedding you will NOT be disappointed!
I will never be able to thank Travis and Jason enough! They were AWESOME! It was like having two extra groomsmen! Seriously. They helped us with our cuff links, ties and pocket squares! They were so friendly and professional! They showed how much they care about people and their craft. They were so efficient with their time and captured every moment from our home, outside, at the church and through out the entire reception. The bridge and night time shots were sooooo creative! I hope they had as much fun as we did. I would recommend Travis and Jason for every occasion. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You made our day and captured it so we’ll remember forever! Thank you!!!!! - Michael Bogden
What an awesome experience we had with the McMillen Photography crew, from my initial communication with Kailee thru the end of the process, still very responsive and very helpful! We chose Ben McMillen and Ed Hughes as our photographers to our Wedding in September and I have only great things to say to both of them. Made our entire day so stress free, comfortable and fun! The bridal party and even all our guests complimented how nice they are! These two are the best! We have beautiful pictures to keep forever! Not only that we got our pictures digitally in a week, they sent us a photo proof book in the mail (that has all our pictures), usb flash drive, and a 11x14 canvas that is coming very soon! Again, thank you so much McMillen Photography team for our beautiful photos! Highly recommended to everyone.

BEN IS AMAAAAAZING!!!! seriously we look at our wedding photos at least once a day because we are still in awe. He keeps the ball rolling all night and is very helpful & makes sure you get every photo you want throughout the day!! Seriously, book him!!!
Absolutely amazing! Ed and Bailey did our wedding and I loved every second of it. Their pictures are beautiful and they captured so many special moments for us. The people in the office are very easy to coordinate with as well. And they work very quickly... we got our proofs back in 2 weeks!
The photographers did such a beautiful job capturing every moment. They are incredibly creative and gave us so many beautiful options for lifelong memories. I would recommend the videographer as well! I look forward to sharing these memories with all the people that I love.
Ben McMillen is McMillen Photography in Waynesburg. This guy is truly the best of the best. He’s been doing this for many years now and it certainly shows. Such short turn around time too, we got out proofs within ONE WEEK. So much fun to be around and always made me and Jake feel comfortable. We can both be very awkward people in front of the camera but you’d never know it with these shots and his creative mind shows up in the craziest scenarios he can make bare minimum into something so special. Highly HIGHLY recommend!
