Magda and Simon

Magda and Simon previously photographed many of our friends and families weddings and so it was a no brainer as soon as we got engaged that they would do our wedding as well. We had previously seen their incredible work, their professionalism and their fun and laid back attitudes that are contagious - and they did not disappoint for our wedding!! We got (SO many!!!) sneak peak pictures within a week of our wedding that were simply STUNNING and captured the feeling and emotion of our day so perfectly. We received so many compliments on our photos. Beyond that, they were relaxed and fun on the day of the wedding while also being so organized and timely - putting us at ease and making such a large part of the day something that felt fun and enjoyable. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Magda and Simon!! If we got married 20 times (we won't), we would use you to capture our day every. single. time. :)

Hire Magda & Simon Photography ASAP!!! My now husband and I were lucky enough to have Magda & Simon photograph our wedding and we cannot say enough amazing things about them. They were not only A BLAST to work with, but they helped to make the whole day feel relaxed and effortless. We got a sneak peek preview 4 DAYS AFTER OUR WEDDING! And of course- the pictures are INCREDIBLE! Magda & Simon are insanely talented...they truly captured our day so perfectly and we cannot thank them enough. Book them now!!!!! Thank you so much Magda & Simon! Miss you guys! -Alexis & Eric Rowell

We cannot say enough good things about Magda and Simon and recommend them enough. If you want beautiful pictures to remember your wedding day hire them as your photographers! Our wedding day was the first time that we met them, but my husband and I felt as if we knew them forever. They felt more like 2 guests with cameras at our wedding rather than 2 photographers that we hired for the day! Magda was so responsive to all of the emails that we sent and they were super laid back and helped to make the day very stress free and fun. All of our guests loved them as well! We received our sneak peak a couple of days after our wedding date and the photos that we received are absolutely stunning - we cannot wait to see the rest!

We got married back in September (this review is long overdue!) and I cannot recommend Magda & Simon enough. Our friends used them for their wedding and we loved their photos so we knew we were making the right choice off the bat. They were so easy to work with and we had such a blast. I am a super awkward person and was extremely nervous about having our photos taken but at our engagement photos, they immediately made the process feel very comfortable and I will forever be grateful for that. It was awesome having Magda & Simon there to help us with our poses and just make everything feel natural. After that, I knew we were in good hands for the wedding & I was totally right about that! The pictures came out absolutely perfect & the turn around time was so fast for everything. We had some last minute changes for our portraits and they made it a point of ensuring we got every shot we wanted before they were done for the night. They are the BEST!!!

Wedding was 6/3/23 and I have nothing but positive things to say about Magda and Simon! The included engagement pictures made our jaws drop when we received them and from the sneak peak of our wedding photos we know it will be a repeat experience! We looked like models. Magda and Simon were professional and timely and made friends with some of our guests. We couldn't be happier after working with them.

The most incredible people I have ever met! Their energy as a duo made the day feel effortless and joyful. They had an exceptional ability to find beauty and creativity in the most astonishing places, and I couldn't get enough of their work as a team. Not only were they incredible photographers, but I also found myself drawn to them as friends. They captured candid and breathtaking moments, and I felt truly honored that they chose to stay and join the celebration after working tirelessly all day. I am eternally grateful to Magda and Simon for capturing these wonderful moments with my family and friends. They have not only become cherished friends but also individuals I hope to have in my life for years to come. Thank you, Magda and Simon, from the bottom of our hearts! We can't wait to explore Philadelphia with you two. Your photography skills are unparalleled, and if I had the chance to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. If you're looking for a photographer team you can genuinely enjoy throughout your wedding night because of their awesomeness, look no further. Love, Sarah and Nick.

If I could give them 10 out of 5 stars I would. Magda and Simon are incredible. They made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. They are genuinely good people and that makes having them around the entire day of your wedding a treat. The day of the wedding can be stressful but with Magda and Simon I don't think we felt an ounce of that because of the ease of which they do their job and run the show. I love that they are married because they are able to actually SHOW you what they want you to do in your poses. Also - we got married on a Friday and they gave us a sneak peak of some of the photos on Monday! They are truly incredible people and they are rockstar photographers. RUN DON'T WALK TO BOOK THEM.

We love Magda and Simon! They are incredible artists and wonderful people to work with. Despite the numerous other clients that they had, they really made us feel special. They went above and beyond during our engagement shoot to capture beautiful photos for us all while making us feel comfortable and at ease. The photos that they took of us could be published in a magazine or sold as art they were THAT good! On the day of, they were very professional and kept us on time, but also did everything with a smile and a laugh. We can't wait to see our wedding photos, but if they are anything like our engagement photos, they will be truly stunning. Thank you Magda and Simon!

I can't say enough great things about Magda and Simon! They captured our day so perfectly and were a joy to work with from beginning to end. Anyone can take a look at their website or Instagram and see they are the truly in the highest tier of what they do. But their incredible talents are just the beginning of what makes working with them so great. When they shoed up on our wedding day, they made us feels so at-ease. We never felt like we were posing for photographs because Magda and Simon are experts in capturing a genuine moment. Working with Magda and Simon, you not only get stunning photographs that perfectly capture a once-in-a-lifetime moment, but you get the pleasure of working with a team of genuine, funny and kind people that will go above and beyond for their couples.

Magda and Simon are the absolute best. They are so down to earth and easy going that it makes it so easy to work with them and they do absolutely amazing work. We are so in love with the photos that we got back from our wedding and can not wait for the rest of them.

Magda & Simon are the BEST! They went above and beyond to capture the most beautiful shots on our wedding day... And did it effortlessly with a new baby on the way! We got our sneak peeks back within 24 hours, and were blown away before even seeing the full gallery. Magda & Simon are such a professional, caring and incredibly talented duo. We fell in love with them at first sight & couldn't have asked for a better team to work with.

Simon and Magda are just the best people! They captured our day so spectacularly and we had a blast with them. They gave us a preview of our photos within 24 hours and if that was all we got, I’d be so happy. We loved their style, but their professionalism and warmth took it to the next level. We would recommend them to anyone!

I can't say enough amazing things about Salt and Cedar. Not only did they answer all questions we had quickly and efficiently, they were also super helpful in putting our day of timeline together. My husband doesn't love have his photo taken, so I was a little nervous about how the engagement shoot would go. But Magda and Simon were so easy to work with, and made us both feel so comfortable. My husband told me afterwards that he was so glad we had hired them for the big day and that we had done that shoot with them beforehand. And not only that, but they were willing to come to NYC to shoot our photos in Central Park, which meant so much to us. Then on the wedding day they knocked it out of the park. They are both super sweet and nice people, but obviously knew what they were doing when it came to getting the shots we wanted and commanding large groups which I know is not always easy to do. And of course the most important thing, their photos came out GORGEOUS. As a graphic designer I have worked with many photographers and seen many photo styles, and what really sets their style apart is how airy and dreamy it looks, it is stunning. Trust me, they will give you wedding day photos that you will admire for years to come!

We love Salt and Cedar Photography! We were nervous about getting our pictures taken before our engagement session, but Magda and Simon made us normally camera-shy people feel so at ease in front of a camera and I still can't believe it's us in these beautiful photos! Every email I sent was promptly responded to and they were always available for my questions, no matter how small. They rolled with all the punches during our wedding day, including a last-minute ceremony location change due to rain and organizing 75 people into a big family photo during cocktail hour, which made me feel a lot more relaxed and able to enjoy every moment of the day. We received our wedding photos recently and every single photo was unbelievably gorgeous, I teared up going through them. We love that they captured so many little moments and important details, things that we either never got to see or were a blur during our wedding that we now have forever. We are so happy with our experience with S&C and recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

We truly loved working with Salt & Cedar. Magda and Simon are awesome people and their fun and friendly personalities shined from the first time we met them which made working with them and being in front of the camera feel super comfortable. Magda and Simon are amazingly talented and our Engagement photos and Sneak peak Wedding photos were beautiful and so so so much better than we could have ever hoped for and imagined. If you're looking for a team of photographer that is fun, friendly, professional and takes amazing photos then absolutely book them.

Salt and Cedar are simply the best! My husband and I had so much fun with them on our wedding day!!! They make you feel so calm throughout the day and comfortable in-front of the camera. Magda and Simon are extremely talented, professional, organized and efficient. They truly went above and beyond to get the perfect shot. We received our stunning sneak peek photos just a couple days after our wedding! I really cannot say enough great things!! Book them book them!! Thank you so much Magda and Simon! Miss you xoxo

Absolutely in love with our wedding photos from Salt + Cedar!! Magda & Simon are the best duo - so easy to work with and super professional. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured our wedding day perfectly!

Absolutely a DREAM TEAM. We fell in love with Magda the moment we met her. We were able to do an engagement photo session with her this past spring and the photos came back more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. On wedding day she and her team were professional, fun, energized (and she's about to have a baby!!)....we feel so lucky that we found Salt + Cedar, and cannot recommend them enough. Do not hesitate to hire them for your big day. They are a joy to work with.

Where do I even begin? Booking Salt and Cedar for our wedding photography quite possibly may have been the best wedding decision we made! As a type A bride, I did so much research on photographers and I can confidently say that Salt and Cedar is by far the best! Besides being so talented, Magda and Simon are all around great people! My husband and I were coming in from out of town for our wedding so we didn’t have time for an engagement shoot (and we certainly don’t consider ourselves photogenic). Needless to say, we were a bit nervous about getting good pictures on our wedding day! Magda met up with us for coffee prior to our wedding so we’d feel extra comfortable on the big day! That was above and beyond! On the day of our wedding, they were a joy to have around! They kept us on schedule, kept us feeling calm, and were so helpful! Plus it’s nice to be around a sweet married couple when you’re about to get married! Only 3 days after our wedding, we got tons of sneak peak photos! I was shocked to have gotten them so quickly after the wedding, and I was even more impressed with how gorgeous they turned out! We are so pleased with the photos and the overall experience. I can’t recommend Salt and Cedar any more highly! They are the absolute best!

A couple who also had their wedding at out venue recommended Salt + Cedar Photography to us and they do not disappoint!! Our wedding photos were the most important to me and Simon and Magda are amazing! The photos are stunning, they are fun to work with, and they will never fail to make you feel comfortable and like you're the cutest couple on earth.. Highly recommend!

Magda and Simon are incredible to work with. They were very communicative throughout the entire planning process and gave us really helpful feedback on photography locations and timeline for the wedding day. Not only are they punctual and professional, they are so fun and warm and brought such a positive presence to all the events they photographed for us. We really appreciated how comfortable they made us, our wedding parties, and our families feel with taking photos. And the photos themselves are gorgeous! Truly cannot recommend Salt + Cedar enough.

Magda and Simon were absolutely amazing! They were so fun to have at the wedding. The photos they took are absolutely breath taking. They made taking photos so easy and fun. They captured everything that we wanted and more. Can not say enough about this duo!

We cannot say enough good things about Magda and Simon! We loved them from the second we met them, and still can't stop talking about them. From our initial meeting, to our amazing engagement photos (which we had to reschedule many times because of rain and they were SUPER flexible and patient), to our long awaited and thrice rescheduled wedding due to the pandemic, Magda and Simon were there through it all. They were SO much fun to work with, and we are OBSESSED with our wedding and engagement photos! Thank you Magda and Simon!

My husband and I can not stop saying how grateful we are that we chose to work with Magda and Simon for our wedding. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! As a couple who had to postpone 2x due to COVID, we cannot say enough positive things about the support and patience they showed us every step of the way. Their work is incredible, and we (along with all of our friends!) had a blast with them on our wedding day. Not only are they incredible photographers, but they are amazing people as well. If you’re looking for best in class, look no further!

We cannot say enough great things about our experience with Magda & Simon on our wedding day! Their positive energy was contagious, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Their amazing direction and vision resulted in natural poses with lots of laughs and made the whole process organic! We are so thankful that they were able to give us the gift through the most beautiful photos to relive our wedding day over and over agin!

We met the Salt & Cedar team at the Equal Dignity Pop Up Nuptials, where we were married in November 2020. They were fun, friendly, professional and super engaging. They had lots of great ideas and enthusiasm to help us look and feel our best. The sneak peak photos were amazing and I can’t wait to see the rest!

We can’t say enough about how wonderful Magda and Simon were; they were incredibly funny, down to earth, personable and have amazing taste. Our wedding pictures are absolutely stunning, with a style that was completely aligned with that of our own. We have received so many wonderful complements on our photos! We were dreading the photo shoot aspect of the wedding. With a hundred things running through our minds and coursing with the nervous adrenalin of the moment the last thing we wanted was to pose in front of a camera and add to our stress. However, the experience was nothing but exceptional and we enjoyed it so much! Simon and Magda were hilarious and fun, were incredibly accommodating to our schedule, and interacted with us in such a fun way that different members of our wedding party kept asking us if we knew them prior to the wedding/ if we were friends. While we didn’t know Magda and Simon before we asked them to capture our big day, we can definitely say we feel like we know them now. When Covid-19 interfered with our plans Magda easily accommodated our changes, even when our plans shifted a few times. Since we adjusted our wedding to be a small intimate ceremony, we are lucky enough to get to work with Magda and Simon again next year at a larger ceremony and reception with all of our friends and family. Thank you so much capturing the happiest day of our lives in such a timelessly elegant and stylistic way, and for making the whole event an incredibly happy and pleasurable experience.

Magda and Simon are the best! They’re so fun to be around and they make you feel comfortable right from the beginning. Magda is super responsive and helpful in the planning process. They have great vision for photographs and are able to find good spots to take pictures on the go as you’re walking around from one location to another. They also have cute ways to get pictures to come out looking natural instead of forced. We had to move our big wedding due to COVID but had a smaller ceremony this year. They were great in helping us reschedule and still continued with taking photos for the smaller ceremony this year. We can’t wait to do it all again with them next year for the big party!

We can’t thank Magda and Simon enough for all their amazing work! From our engagement photos to our wedding day they made the whole process feel so easy. We never felt rushed or pressured and they helped us feel relaxed during the photos. We are in love with our photos and would highly suggest booking them!!

Magda and Simon are a god send. Could not recommend them any more and want to scream from the rooftops how amazing they were to work with. Incredibly organized, professional, supportive, accommodating during a bizarre time (wedding date changes, COVID plans), and most importantly TALENTED!!! Our pictures turned out UNREAL. Hire them!!!!

We are very happy that we hired Salt and Cedar! They were punctual, professional and fun to work with! Magda gave great direction for all kinds of different poses and the end result was beautiful ! It seemed that the team was very experienced and that they take great pride in their craft! Would definately hire them again and you should too !

We are so thankful to have had Salt + Cedar photograph our wedding! Magda and Simon were amazing every step of the process, from our first meeting, planning and then the wedding day, they were so helpful and fun to work with! They were incredibly down-to-earth and super friendly, our guests and bridal party absolutely loved working with them too! Through these crazy and uncertain COVID times, we cannot express how grateful we are that we hired Salt + Cedar. They were there every step of the way with ongoing communication and reassurance giving us peace of mind during an incredibly challenging time. And we cannot say enough about how amazing their work is! The photos beyond exceeded our expectations, they captured the day more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! We cannot stop smiling every time we look at the photos, they take us right back to our wedding day it brings goosebumps! It’s truly amazing how perfectly they captured our happiness and joy, it just shines through! We cannot thank and recommend Salt + Cedar enough and would love to work with them again and again in the future!

I don't even know where to begin with this dream squad! They made the entire wedding photography process easy from start to finish. Their entire team (we were lucky to have the whole squad show up for our engagement pictures!) is super friendly and down-to-earth, which makes the intimate moments that you want captured feel like you are actually just in the moment with your fiance. They were incredibly patient with our gigantic family and made sure to calmly and efficiently get every picture we wanted during the first half of our cocktail hour (so we still could go enjoy our time saying hello!) Their light and airy look is so incredibly beautiful and looks amazing when printed! They got an engagement sneak peak to us the next day AND we woke up to a wedding sneak peak the morning after our wedding. It has been almost one year since our wedding and they are STILL answering any questions I have and are there for us. I could go on and on!!! You need to hire them immediately, if not sooner!

Magda & Simon traveled to Cancun to shoot our destination wedding & I can't say this enough: BEST. DECISION. EVER. We loved their work so much, that we opted to not utilize the resort's photographer that was included in our package ($1000+ that we were not able to get back) & instead fly them to Cancun to shoot our wedding. I can truly say that I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Their photography truly speaks for itself, but what it doesn't show you is the two awesome people behind the cameras. They're a husband & wife team that works so incredibly well together, & it was so awesome to have our big day captured by two people who so obviously love each other & the work that they do together. I have never encountered such professional, fun, & creative people. They both had a way of making the awkward photos fun and helping me stay calm with all of the wedding stress (for several days, which could not have been easy). All of our family members were so impressed with how quick & easy the family photos were. Something that we all somewhat dreaded was done so efficiently & pain-free, & we didn't have to spend a lot of time away from the wedding guests. We received so many compliments from our guests on their professionalism & talent. Everyone thought we were crazy for spending money on photographers when the resort provided one, but after they met Simon & Magda & saw how our pictures came out, they understood. Our pictures truly look like they came out of a magazine & we're so happy we were fortunate enough to have these two capture our day. The resort even asked their permission to use the photos that they took of the reception space for their website, because they did such an amazing job of capturing how beautiful the venue was. My favorite thing about working with Simon & Magda, however, is how they are so obviously passionate about their work. Once we were well into the reception, we told Magda to put the camera down (she was already working on editing some photos!) & join everyone at the bar/dance floor because she had been working so hard all day, to which she responded that she loved taking photos & editing, & she was "having fun" doing that! We were blown away by how happy she was to be "on the clock" (although we did finally pester her enough into joining us). Simon gladly joined us on the dance floor (with his camera still in hand, of course) and captured some great shots in the middle of the action. They both have such a positive energy & are so fun to be around. These two were hands-down the best decision we could have made for our wedding day. We are forever grateful for the love & hard work that they put into capturing it all. I truly do not think that there are two better photographers out there. Magda & Simon, we can't thank you enough for giving us such beautiful memories of our wedding day & for helping to make it better than we could have ever imagined. You're the absolute best!

It’s hard to put into words how thrilled we are with our wedding photos. Salt and cedar did such an incredible job getting every shot we wanted and catching every moment of our day. They went out of there way so many times to make sure they captured everything. Their artistic point of view in our photos is absolutely breathtaking. We could not be happier!! I would recommend salt and cedar to any couple looking for photographers who are willing to do anything for you to get the perfect shot and to make sure that their wedding photos are absolutely perfect!

Amazing amazing amazing. I have nothing but great things to say about Salt & Cedar. They were absolutely amazing with everything from the planning process to the engagement shoot to the wedding and everything in between. S&C was one vendor I leaned on the most when asking for recommendations for day of plans. They were so helpful and willing to help, which is what I think makes a wedding vendor go above and beyond. In addition to being super helpful and fun to be around, the pictures were absolutely stunning. Both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures are perfect. Every single picture came out beautifully. No other time in my life have I been able to say that about pictures. I really don't know how to put it into words other than use them as your photographer! Their energy is so fun and carefree, they immediately make you feel comfortable and less self-conscious of having your picture taken. That and they take the most beautiful shots. Thank you Simon and Magda!!

This team was so amazing to work with throughout the entire wedding process. Magda is so on top of everything and made the planning process an absolute breeze. Our engagement and wedding day photos were done by Simon and Dennis. They were so fun to work with and captured the day more beautifully than we could have ever hoped for. Cannot thank them enough and would recommend anyone to work with them!

The most important part of wedding planning for us was finding a photographer we loved. We knew when the day was done all we would have were memories and photos. We had the pleasure of working with Dennis and Anna, who were absolutely amazing. The way they captured our day was perfect. Every photo takes us back to that beautiful day and we can't wait to look back on these for years to come. Thank you for everything!

Booking Salt + Cedar was the best decision we could have made. Wedding planning is STRESSFUL but everything related to our photos and video was the opposite. Magda is so helpful, communicative, and was always prompt and patient in responding to all my questions. Simon, Magda, and Dennis were so easy to work with and made us feel at ease. Our photos were so natural and beautiful we could not have asked for more. They truly went above and beyond.

We worked with all three team members of Salt + Cedar - Simon and Dennis for engagement pictures and Magda and Dennis for wedding pictures. They're extremely fun (we had them on the dance floor with us at one point!), nice, professional, and made us feel very comfortable. We wanted a unique vision and approach to our wedding photos, and they nailed it while still getting the more traditional shots as well. They knew exactly what type of shots to get with little to no direction, and we felt so comfortable letting them take the reigns. They are such pros and we've gotten so many compliments on our photos! Can't thank them enough for all they did for us. They are the best

We were SO happy with our choice in photographers! Magda and Denis went above and beyond for my husband and I on our wedding day! They were so much more than just photographers! I highly recommend them to everyone! We love you guys! Thanks again!!

Magda and Dennis were amazing, dedicated photographers who not only captured our special day, but also made them look so good! Our wedding was on June 29th on a very hot summer day in Philadelphia and despite the hot weather, Magda and Dennis put their best efforts into getting the right shots. We even received a sneak peek in a day which was great to share with friends and family. Thank you so much, Magda and Dennis and can't wait to see the rest!

Magda, Simon, & Dennis were nothing short of amazing! Our family & friends continually said “that’s so awesome you have good friends who are photographers!” Magda, Simon, & Dennis felt like friends we have known for years & that is a quality in them that alone is a reason you should use them. We were dancing together on the dance floor at my reception...enough said. When photos & film are being captured, nothing is ever forced. It feels so natural & they do a great job of blending in with whatever is happening in the moment. Magda was there for me throughout the day not only taking photographs but there for me on a personal level. Our sneak peek came back and in every photo our feelings & emotions were captured. It took my husband & I right back to that moment in time. To be able to feel that every time we look at our wedding photos is a gift that we can never repay. Thank you Salt + Cedar!!! We love you guys. Lucky my twin sister is getting married just so we can hang out at another wedding together!

Salt and Cedar was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! Not only did they travel to the beach for my engagement shoot, they were so nice to work with! Magda was such a fun part of my wedding day, everyone loved her! She made me feel so calm and relaxed and it truly made such an impact on my day. Not to mention my pictures are stunning! Thank you Magda for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!!

The team at Salt and Cedar is truly exceptional, and we are so happy that we hired them to shoot our wedding. When we met with Magda and Dennis initially, we were so impressed with their warmth, authenticity, and clear and obvious passion for what they do. The time they take to get to know you as people comes across in their work, as they have an incredible ability to capture genuine emotion and special little moments. On our wedding day, multiple friends and family members commented on how great Dennis and Anna were to work with. With both our engagement shoot and our wedding, Dennis took the time beforehand to scout out beautiful photo locations, and so things ran super smoothly because of his excellent preparation. Looking through pictures of the wedding, we are struck by how much of our personalities (and the personalities of our loved ones) shine through, and how well the pictures tell the story of the day. We cannot thank the team at Salt and Cedar enough, and we will cherish the photos always.
