M Koval Photography

't often feel comfortable doing that. She was nice and funny and brought such a positive vibe to our photoshoot. Loved her ideas and the pictures turned out better than I could have ever expected! She carefully watched the weather to make sure we had the perfect day to capture our love, even went to the location early to scope out places that would be perfect for photos. The best part, we received out photos so quickly! I was expecting to wait a few weeks and she had them to me within a few days. Exceeded all of my expectations for our engagement photo shoot!

s. taking candid photos. 3) She didn't capture photos of each member of the wedding party as they walked down the aisle (seems she snapped maybe 1 each and if that photo was not good, that meant we missed out). 4) She didn't suggest other wedding party poses so we didn't get an individual photo of the groom, and other shots. 5) After I told her there was not a shot of my grandson walking down the aisle, she said the one shot she had will not be “put out that way,” then she reluctantly added a black & white version shot of that shot into the gallery. That photo was blurry and dark. 6) Actually, it turns out that all of the photos are blurry, even family members I sent the link to asked for clearer pics. When I texted her asking if I used the ORDER link would the prints be clear, she replied she would pull down the link and try to clear them up. Well, that failed. When she emailed the new link, the pics were still blurry, just darker, and the photo of my grandson was now missing. When I asked about it, she texted that it was not a great shot and it didn't “represent her well.” Why didn’t she just tell me she removed it? The sad part is that her text messages regarding all of this indicated that she clearly sees all of our concerns as our fault, not hers. Another issue is that the cloudspot link lets you choose from FAVORITE, SLIDESHOW, SHARE IMAGE, or BUY. The link is setup so that I cannot print them or copy them myself (she told me not to screenshot them), I must buy them. Why buy blurry photos? We made a mistake hiring Mary Koval, and The Knot should be concerned that having her as a vendor referral is risky. I am prepared to back up all of my words. We actually look forward to it, as I'm sure she will seek to have this honest review removed. Her last email to me was her insurance carrier and their contact info. Why? She said her reputation comes first. How about the customers come first who are having once in a lifetime moments, like getting married? 9/2 UPDATE: Since I posted this review she has deleted the cloudspot link to our gallery. So now we have ZERO wedding photos!! 9/3 UPDATE: We have video of M Koval never pulling her mask up properly, standing around, spending more time looking at her camera than the individuals. Also, my text while I was on my honeymoon read "Thank you so much! We scanned through them. Will look closer tonight." Once we looked closer we realized we had blurry pics. Still today, we have no link, no pics.

d easy to work with!! I would recommend her for anyone who needs a photographer for their wedding! She truly captured our special day. I cannot thank her enough! ❤️

x is just beautiful and will be cherished forever. You won’t be disappointed by booking her. Thank you for our memories!

ived prior to the ceremony in order to get herself set-up, as well as be able to take some of those precious behind-the-scenes photos before everything began. She was very professional, friendly, and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We love how our photos turned out and would highly recommend her to another couple.

en are just beautiful. Her price was very reasonable and I feel she provided above and beyond what we expected. I would be happy to refer her to anyone who is looking for a professional photographer.

dding. Very excited to have had such a great person who enjoyed what they do. Thank you again for a wonderful day and the great work on our pictures.

she's reasonably priced. Mary you're amazing, all the pictures at the wedding I didn't think were taken you covered! The box you sent with the USB was so cute!

ome of our photos! Mary is one for adventure and making sure to capture every moment of the day, which in turn is awesome because you get to look back on every special moment, even the ones you weren’t expecting! She’s so easy to talk to and interact Which is highly important I believe. We hope to stay connected and call her for all our photography needs!

re perfect! She truly captured our personality on camera and was patient through our silliness.

de sure to communicate with me and answered any questions I had. Day of, she was very punctual and very flexible on going between our venue and the groomsmen cabin. I would definitely recommend her!

lly saved the day when all of our ideas ran out. The pictures look fantastic and really “froze in time” all those special moments. We highly recommend her for any occasion!
