Maggie is phenomenal! My new hubby and I discovered her through mutual friends at Appalachian State. We booked her for our wedding before actually meeting her - crazy, I know.
We met her on a cool December afternoon for our engagement picture...s, from the minute we stepped out of the car her bubbly personality captured us! Not once have we ever regretted our decision. We've been crazy about her ever since.
My hubby has stated that he was prepared for a little awkwardness, being that your love for someone, while the most beautiful aspect of life it is also the most personal - he has not once experienced it with Maggie. She makes is so comfortable and natural. She is so full of JOY and pure LOVE for what she does. Its not a job to her, it is her PASSION - she was called to do this. She jumps and squeals with happiness at finding the PERFECT shot! Its one of the many things we adore about her. Her pictures don't just capture a moment in time, a memory to remember - they tell a story. Maggie has photographed several sessions for us - engagement, save-the-date, bridal portraits, additional session with the bride, and 8 hours of wedding coverage.
Seriously, we are obsessed with Maggie! One of our very favorite things about Maggie is that she always keeps the experience going. Most photographers would send you a link and/or mail a USB of your wedding photos and be done. However, Maggie invited us over to her beautiful home and cooked for us! She then presented us with our wedding album, we went through every picture! We spent hours laughing and reliving our wedding day! We also received the most beautiful little box with a few 5x7 photos printed and our USB with pictures.
Maggie has become part of our family. A "wedding vendor" or "photographer" is what most people expect, however we have gained a lifelong friend. I've joked with Maggie stating she's stuck with us, we just LOVE her that much. We've already planned on her photographing future pregnancy reveals, births, and family portraits. The beauty to see love come full circle and having one photographer capturing it all! Its one thing for somebody to do a good job and feel you can recommend them for work (and we SO DO) - its an entirely different story when you love somebody so much you want to take them along on your entire love journey.
Maggie has been such a beautiful addition to our lives. We couldn't imagine a single chapter without her. Thank you for absolutely everything Maggie - your bubbly personality, your radiating grace and beauty, your southern sass and overflowing joy, cultural diversity and respect for all truly has captivated our hearts. We are super grateful for you and love you lots!!
