Maggie Karanja Photography

er. She went over and beyond, taken on task that were not hers. She made sure we stayed on time and got from point A to B! She is a true gem and amazing soul. We can honestly say this was one of our best investments. We got sneak peeks two days after our wedding, and the photos are pure magic. Thank you Maggie and team for everything

photographer, she went out of her way to photograph an extremely special day for my family at the last minute. I’m so blessed to know her and have crossed paths with her during the crazy process of wedding planning as she just made things so much easier for us. I plan on working with her again for personal photos very soon!!!

ome of the most special times we will be able to look back on. She is so kind, fun, and easy to work with even if you are not typically a center of attention person. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs special memories captured!

pectations. From before booking to even after our wedding, Maggie has been clear in communication on what to expect and always a listening ear. As part of our initial inquiry, we were able to meet with her via Zoom to get to know each other and right away we could see her passion for photography as a means to produce authentic photos. Our package included an engagement session, which affirmed our decision before the big day. Maggie did a fantastic job giving us guidance in how to pose and made me and my husband feel so comfortable, as two people that do not like photos being taken of them. Between the engagement session and our wedding, Maggie was there as a resource to provide timeline information and resources on how the day would go. We filled out a questionnaire to provide all the little details that she absolutely took into account on our big day. I have to reiterate how helpful the timeline was because I had bridesmaids, family members and other brides all impressed with the level of detail she provided and it truly was THE timeline we all referenced throughout the day which made things so easy for everyone involved. She kept the day moving without pressure and had a presence that did not make us feel like we had to be posed all night and could truly be in the moment. After the wedding, we received sneak peek photos in a very timely manner, which helped us relive the day during our mini-moon together when it was so close in our memory. We received our final pictures within the timeline provided, and are so pleased with the overall results. Maggie did a great job being able to capture the personalities of us and our loved ones. These photos are truly going to be cherished for the rest of our lives and I am incredibly grateful for our experience with Maggie.

uch an incredible experience. From the beginning of the process, Maggie was so thoughtful by taking the time to get to know more about us as a couple and what our vision for the engagement shoot was. Maggie provided a thorough list of location options along with ideas about how a shoot at each of these locations would look like. She helped set our expectations and prepare for the shoot by providing us with an extensive style guide and checklist. Maggie was super communicative and responsive to any questions we had leading up to the session and provided fun ideas for props to incorporate into our photos. My fiancée and I don't love being in front of the camera, but Maggie made our session feel so natural and comfortable. To me, Maggie's style is all about movement and story telling and she did such an incredible job capturing our love on camera. If you're looking for a photographer who is incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and fun - Maggie and Stepping Stones Photography are the one for you!!

dding photos. Her intuition and professionalism were truly unmatched; she seemed to anticipate every meaningful moment before it even happened! What blew me away the most were the photos themselves. They were not just pictures; they were windows into the emotions and memories of our special day. Each shot captured the essence of the moment perfectly, and looking through them brought tears to my eyes all over again. Maggie was incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. She listened attentively to my ideas and preferences, and seamlessly incorporated them into her artistic vision. Her ability to adapt to changing circumstances and still deliver such breathtaking results was nothing short of amazing. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who goes above and beyond, who understands the significance of every smile, every tear, and every laugh, you really have to book Maggie. She is not just a photographer; she's a storyteller, and she will make your wedding memories last a lifetime in the most beautiful way possible. Highly, highly recommend!

onal photos. Maggie and her second shooter were absolutely amazing on our wedding day and the sneak peeks surpassed my expectations. I can’t wait to see the rest of our gallery! If you’re looking for beautiful pictures and a fun photographer, look no further!!! We highly recommend Stepping Stones Photography. Thank you Maggie!!

ly, & caring to the point where it felt like she was truly a friend to us & our family! She made all of us feel so comfortable on our special day, with great tips/instructions to help us get our perfect photos, while always being so helpful with anything she could think of even if it wasn't purely within the photographer expectations. Her efforts in all of these arenas made all the difference so that it felt like we were sharing our special day with another lovely friend, who also happened to produce amazing photos for us that we will cherish forever! Thank you so much Maggie & SSP Team, so glad that we found you!

nsecurities or things we didn't want highlighted in photos so she could pose us and work around those things as necessary. She does all of this while maintaining such a natural editing style that accurately captures your precious memories. The cues she gives to capture candid photos are perfect for people like me who are awkward when getting pictures taken. She is also available after delivering sneak peaks and final galleries if you have any questions, want something edited a little differently, decide you want a black and white version of a specific photo, etc. She made our engagement photo and wedding photo experience so enjoyable that we just recently asked her to do a maternity shoot for us as well. You won't be disappointed with her services!

photographers! We had a morning wedding and were a bit short on time before the wedding to take pictures. Stepping Stones Photography was able to work with us on a plan to ensure we were able to get all the pictures we wanted for our day! Even when things changed on the day of the wedding, Maggie and team were able to work with us and quickly pivot! From the beginning, Maggie was very professional and helped make our wedding planning and wedding day stress-free. We absolutely love our pictures. They perfectly captured our special day!!! We will cherish the pictures for an eternity. ❤️

ven travelled so we could have our shoot in the place that meant the most to us. She was incredible and the photos we got from that shoot we'll cherish forever. And then months later on the wedding day, I swear every guest I talked to complimented how Maggie and her team were everywhere taking photos! We've only seen our sneak peaks but they're beautiful. Stepping Stone Photography was our absolutely #1 choice for our wedding day and their photos are so beautiful.

out. She made us feel very comfortable and reassured with the whole process.

le in front of the camera and provided great poses and prompts for us to have very organic photos. When it came to wedding day planning, Maggie was a huge help in the logistics process with our timeline and venue questions. She was always very responsive and made the photo taking day-of an absolute breeze by being organized and available. And most importantly, our photos are AMAZING. She did an incredible job capturing us and our personalities. We are so happy we chose her as our photographer and would easily recommend her to anyone else.

for photography, but she made my fiance and I feel so comfortable and went above and beyond to learn about us and our story! We walked away from our shoot wishing we had another hour with her. Will definitely be recommending Stepping Stones Photography for any Atlanta area friends looking to capture their milestones!!!

made us feel the most at ease and her energy was contagious. We loved having her around on our wedding day and the photos she captured were flawless. She even turned around a sneak peek of a bunch of photos a few days after the wedding!

nd personality! Highly, highly recommend Stepping Stones Photography for any of your photography needs!

rain all day but we had so much fun and our sneak peek pictures are absolutely beautiful! I would recommend to any and everyone. She really goes above and beyond to make things go smoothly and fun. We definitely hope to keep Maggie around for any future shoots!

-oriented, organized, creative, responsive, and just a great person to be around. My wife and I consider her to be a friend after our engagement and wedding planning process. Maggie did not live in the city where we had our engagement shoot and wedding. Despite not being as familiar, she took the time to scout out places that would make for memorable photos. She participated in three Zoom calls with us and created a detailed timeline for what to expect when we did our engagement and wedding photos. It gave us a better understanding of what to expect on those busy days. Unfortunately, it poured rain on our wedding day. Maggie had a contingency plan and scouted out in-door locations to ensure sure our photos were exactly what we wanted. Her team had such a positive attitude, which helped us tremendously as our plans unexpectedly changed. Most importantly, the photos she took are lifelong treasures that we will proudly display to our family members and future children. Maggie is a highly-skilled photographer and an even better person.

iful and capture genuine emotion. Not only is she great at her job, but she is also one of the most passionate, upbeat & positive people I have met. She instantly makes you feel comfortable and confident. Her smile is contagious and she makes taking photos so much fun!! Even our wedding guests commented on how fun she was :)

wedding day. So grateful to her for her dedication to her job ♥️

ade me feel so beautiful throughout the whole day! The timeline was super helpful, and I really felt like she valued getting the most out of my time with her just as much as I did. I would 100% recommend working with her, and I hope to have more life events photographed by her in the future.

l and our photos turned out amazing. The weather was ever changing in Atlanta the day of our shoot; Maggie took so much time to watch the weather like a hawk and was extremely flexible to work around it. Maggie’s husband, Sam, even came along to watch our dog since we couldn’t find a dog sitter! She is so fun to work with and I would continue to book her for future photoshoots. She understood the assignment, aced it, 12/10 would recommend.

ill have you looking back at your wedding everyday.

happy she captured our amazing day!

ile being in front of the camera and had everything down on a timeline to help make sure to capture all of the pictures that we wanted. She also really helped with making it about us, the couple, and not allowing anyone to try and make picture requests that we hadn’t asked for or try to take away from the pictures that we wanted

e perfect and so natural as well - highly recommend her for any photography needed!

spent time with my girls getting ready! After the ceremony, Maggie did a great job wrangling both families for family portraits and then off we went for our couples session. It was everything I wanted! The sneak peak photos were such fun to look at on the plane ride to our honeymoon and I still look at them every so often. I can't wait to get the rest of the photos back soon! Maggie did an amazing job capturing our wedding day in such a beautiful way. I highly recommend Stepping Stones Photography for any type of photoshoot!

moments beautifully - with a great eye and great editing style. Throughout the process, she got to know us so our personalities would come through in photos and so we'd be comfortable throughout all the shots. So glad we found such an awesome photographer to help complete our day!

mood. It went great! Maggie will be photographing our wedding in October and I cannot wait!
