Loring Magnolia Photography

Ryan and Meredith are EXCEPTIONAL! They are so kind and my husband remarked as we drove home from our wedding reception how nice and fun they were to work with. I feel like if the groom enjoys the photographers and the experience with them, that's really something :) They were quiet and stealthy during our wedding ceremony and had great ideas for getting some good, creative shots despite our rainy wedding day. We loved the vibe we got from them from the beginning, with their fair pricing, quick response rate, and friendly correspondence. They were flexible during the entire process and easy to work with from the first time we met them during our engagement shoot. They felt like friends at the end and were real troopers, despite the weather. They also got our online wedding album back to us way faster than we ever expected, and also worked with us to get select family shots even earlier to accommodate Christmas card season. We are so appreciative to them for everything!!!

Loring Magnolia is simply AMAZING! Meredith & Ryan were an absolute DREAM to work with. From start to finish, they made it easy, made us feel so comfortable and offered endless support through the entire process. They are so creative, took some really magnificent shots, and even captured moments that we had missed! The photos are OUT OF THIS WORLD and tell the story of our day so perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with the results and plan to use them again one day! They are so talented and genuinely love what they do. Don’t book your big day until you have booked Loring Magnolia – you won’t be disappointed!

We got married October 12, 2019 at Childress Vineyards and were beyond excited to share our day with Loring Magnolia Photography. Meredith was absolutely amazing (and her husband is great too). We recently received all the photos – they are spectacular, and we loved all of them. Additionally, the nighttime photos they take are so unique and fun! She was so professional, creative, and listened to exactly what we wanted for the day. I would absolutely recommend her. Look at her blog - it is a great way to see her work and get to know the company!

Where do I begin with these guys? Let’s start with how responsive Meredith has been thru my whole wedding process. I was a pretty stressed out bride just with having some things not work out even before the wedding, and just your typical bridal issues. She was there for me in the aspect of listening when I had to ask her questions about things, edit my wedding timeline like 7 times, and she would just reassure me that everything was going to work out. The day after our wedding, my husband had said to me “I am so glad we got those 2 as photographers. She was more help to us than the wedding coordinator” She would come up to me during the wedding and say “Hey we’re going to be doing this next in about 15m, just wanted to give you a heads up” which I LOVED that she did that because I was already losing track of time and she would ensure that I was prepared for the next thing on the timeline. They were both very patient with my wedding party when everybody was excited and rowdy during trying to get pictures done. She will constantly ask me all night long if I was doing OK or if I needed anything. Another thing is that she’s very responsive when I needed to get in touch with her. Her and her husband showed up right on time, and team tackled all the pictures I said I wanted during the chaos of us all gettin ready before ceremony. I am 100% so happy I chose this couple as a vendor. I cannot wait to see my pictures and I plan on using them in the future with maternity and family photos! Love you guys!! Thanks for making my wedding day so special and perfect!

Meredith was so great for our engagement session! She was super easy to work with and had a great eye for backdrops. We were able to get a wide array of shots that we loved. Her creativity is endless! Would definitely recommend.

There are no words to express the beautiful way in which Meredith captured our special day! From the excitement and all the last minute details before the ceremony , the joy and serenity of the ceremony, and the celebration and reuniting of old and new friends at the reception....she perfectly captured the smallest and biggest moments of the day. It is clear to see her passion for her art in every detail. Her sweet heart and her expertise in her art put us at ease and assured us we would relive the day again and again through her beautiful photographs. She captured our special day, our families and very closest friends , and our love in her art. She is simply, the best...classic, elegant, and a master of her craft! :)

Meredith and her husband, Ryan, did an absolutely amazing job capturing our wedding day. She was the first photographer we met with, and knew right away she would be the perfect fit. She was fun, and professional, and showed us some examples of her work, and presented several options to us. When planning a wedding, you will always have some vendors that you have to stay on top of - this was not the case with Loring Magnolia, as Meredith reached actually reached out to us to see how planning was going. When the big day came, Meredith and Ryan were right where they were supposed to be, but never in the way. Our pictures came out even better than we expected, and the composition of the album included both traditional wedding shots, as well as some more tasteful/modern/artistic ones. I would 100% recommend Loring Magnolia to any couple who values a professional, and fun relationship with their photographer (photos always turn out better this way) who has a good eye for what looks good on camera.

My husband and I cannot begin to describe just how blown away we were with Loring Magnolia's work! Selecting a photographer was the #1 thing on our list and we spent about four weeks researching until we found Loring Magnolia. I cannot describe just how amazing the work Meredith and her husband, Ryan, do! There isn't one photo that we are unhappy with. Meredith was quick to respond to every text, email or phone call. I never felt awkward or uncomfortable with either of them. They shot our engagement, bridals and wedding. I have already recommended Loring Magnolia to people I know. Meredith shot a co-workers wedding last week. I really can't express how much we adored working with Meredith & Ryan. They made sure to capture every special moment we asked for and then some. They even took a slow exposure sparkler photo that was a must have for me and exceeded my expectations. You really cannot go wrong with booking them! They will make your whole engagement/bridals and wedding even better! While my husband and I are glad to have the wedding behind us we are sad to not work with Meredith and Ryan again. Hopefully they can shot our maternity and new born photos! Thank you Meredith and Ryan for capturing the magic of our day. We LOVE every photo and are so glad to have them to reflect upon. We hope to work with y'all again in the near future!

Meredith & Ryan are such an amazing team, I cannot recommend them enough! Communication before the wedding was great and we had such a fun time with them on the wedding day. It was like we got to relive the day when we got all our photos back (much quicker than we imagined) after the wedding. They captured all the important moments and then some :)

Booking Loring Magnolia Photography was absolutely the best decision we made during our wedding planning. From start to finish, Meredith was amazing. From being available to answering all my questions to giving friendly advice and feedback for wedding planning, she is the absolute best. We expressed what we wanted for our pictures and that is exactly what we got. Not only did we have the pleasure of working with Meredith and Ryan, I feel like we've gained a new friendship. These two do an outstanding job and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

Loring Magnolia Photography is wonderful! Very easy to work with and does wonderful work! I am so impressed with my wedding day & engagement pictures. The pictures capture truly the capture the day with some special touches. I highly recommend them and check out their website to see their work!

We had an excellent experience with Loring Magnolia Photography. From our initial interview to the day of the wedding to the delivery of the final images, Meredith was professional, kind, and highly responsive. As we were communicating from New York at the time, she made the process seamless and easy. On the day of the wedding, she and her husband, Ryan, were calm, non-intrusive, and a delight to have present during the service, and later, during the reception. Even with muddy grounds from the rain on the day we married didn't deter them for post-ceremony shots, and when we received the final images, we were thrilled the quality of the images they captured. I highly recommend Loring Magnolia without any reservations. Thank you again for such a memorable day!

Meredith was absolutely AMAZING to work with. I knew as soon as I met her she was the one! She was very attentive and so responsive, I felt like I had known her forever and my guest thought we had been friends for years... That's how she makes you feel, like a long time friend that makes your day all about you! Meredith is so attentive to detail! Me and my husband got the luck of Hurricane Florence coming into town on our wedding day... but that didn't stop this awesome lady! She showed up rain boots on and umbrella's ready to go. She captured every moment perfectly and always had a smile ready to go for the next picture. We were all soaked by the end of the night but looking at my pictures you would never know, except for the beautiful rain photos Meredith took... they were perfect. If you are lucky enough to meet Meredith and hire her for your big day... DO IT! You will not be disappointed. She was an absolute love to work with. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone!

I had a wonderful experience using Loring Magnolia Photography! They captured the most beautiful shots at our wedding and reception. They truly made us feel comfortable, which made the entire process enjoyable.

Loring Magnolia Photography is amazing! They are pleasant, friendly, fun, warm, helpful and like one of the family. The email and call correspondence was always incredibly prompt. Don’t hesitate to choose them!

These guys are great and affordable. Beautiful pics and they create a wedding blog that’s super nice. Very punctual too.

Meredith and her husband Ryan are such a joy and wonderful and work with! My husband and I had high standards for our wedding pictures. We knew that these would be something that we would cherish forever. I cannot put in to words how absolutely wonderful our pictures turned out! We would be honored to recommend them to anyone who is looking for photographers that pay special attention to the smallest detail and want to tell your love story through pictures. Meredith and Ryan captured just that for us and I couldn't be more grateful!

Meredith's ideas and suggestions for shots for our engagement photos were spot on! She did her homework prior to our shoot in order to get the best lighting for the shots on the list, and they couldn't have turned out better. She had the optimal times down for each one based on the sunset. Small details like that are what set Loring Magnolia apart. You have many things to stress about leading up to your wedding - let Meredith and Loring Magnolia Photography take engagement and wedding photos off that list! My wife and I were overwhelmingly pleased with our experience and strongly recommend Meredith to capture special moments for any occasion.

Loring Magnolia photography did a wonderful job with my daughters wedding portraits and wedding photography. Meredith is very creative , professional and so easy to work with! Our photos turned out great! I would recommend her for your big day!

M's photos make all of us believe that the camera loves us.

Meredith was wonderful! She took every photograph we wanted to have to document our most important day together. She expertly photographed the family, friends, wedding party, food, decorations, venue, and us and they did it with such imagination and artistic vision. In addition, we were delighted to see the amazing shots that we did not think to ask for but which captured the joyful essence of the occasion. Meredith exceeded every expectation.

Loring Magnolia Photography captured our special day perfectly! Meredith showed up on time which really helped put me at ease, especially on a day that’s is so hectic. She made herself accessible and was extremely helpful in the months leading up the wedding. She shot my bridal portraits as well and the ceremony and reception. She has great experience and advice when it comes to shots and poses. My husband and I were blown away at the moments she was able to capture and they are something that we will treasure forever.
