Magnolia Photography

ous, but with this team you will have no worries when it comes to flying through the post-ceremony pictures or handling potentially unruly groomsmen.. they have it DOWN (they even have a mean bustle game and can assist with even the most complicated French bustle in a pinch)! These ladies have become like family to us (they not only did my wedding, but my sister's and other family photos) and will forever be our go-to friends for capturing special moments. I would recommend Magnolia Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. It doesn't hurt that you also have a blast every time you work with them and miss hanging out once the wedding is over!

. My husband is NOT a fan of pictures. Michelle made him totally comfortable and even got him to smile in a few shots! I love how none of my pictures looks staged and how beautiful each image turned out. So thankful we were able to have them for our special day!

hey have to work with (who truly become your friends), expertise of a successful wedding day (Jana literally put in my veil right before I walked down the aisle because it was giving me so much trouble and wouldn't go in my hair), and so much more make them an absolute pleasure to have as your photographers!! Thank you for making our wedding day perfect! AND we got all wedding day pictures back in less than 2 weeks after the wedding because Jana wanted to get them back to me before I went back to work - how sweet is that?! Lastly, the package you receive with the wedding day photos USB is absolutely gorgeous - such a sweet surprise! Love love LOVE Magnolia Photography - hire them now!!!

't have been more pleased with how our pictures turned out. They are PERFECT! Love, love, love. Thank you so much Jana and the Magnolia Photography team!

e the whole process effortless. The team captured every moment of our day perfectly. I do not have enough praise I could give this team on their work . P.S. My husband is Jana’s biggest fan, he loved her!

day and Handled my large (and crazy) family and wedding party. Hiring these ladies is probably the best wedding decision that I made!

ion and throughout the wedding day, Michele was so easy going, reduced my stress level and just made the day run smoothly. She also helped with vendor recommendations and was always there when I needed advice for anything wedding related - my wedding really would have been so much different had I not found her! The photographs are perfect - truly amazing. When people see our pictures, they really can't believe how flawless and amazing the pictures are. We have had a few people say that they can 'feel the love' coming through the pictures and that they have never seen more beautiful wedding pictures - and those were just the highlight pictures on the blog! I cannot say enough good things about Magnolia and especially Michele - Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking. Trust me, they are the best!! Cannot thank you guys enough!!

could give MP a rating higher than 5 I would. Love love love!

d Jana are THE BEST!! They are hands down my favorite photographers and I highly recommend them to any Bride!!

bright light during this process. They are both the absolute sweetest! I haven't even mentioned their work yet. I'm so so so happy with our photos. I could not have asked for anyone better! By far my favorite vendors from the entire wedding process. Love you ladies!!!

We will continue to use Magnolia Photography in the future!

ll” engagement session in 85 degree October temperatures turned out flawless and Michele battled flooding detours and heavy rain to ensure my bridal portraits were amazing! One of the best things about MP is their amazing ability to naturally adjust and handle the most stressful situations, making any anxiety, questions, or indecisiveness completely disappear. Their fun personalities, natural talent, and professionalism make them the BEST in the business. We LOVED working with them and trusted their opinions 100% - they even picked out my Bridal Portrait and Wedding Album when I was a bit too overwhelmed to choose! I cannot say enough about how great MP was to work with, and absolutely worth every penny we spent. Not only do we have the most natural, fun and beautiful wedding photos, we also have two amazing new friends who we cannot wait work with again, and again!

! They capture and provide you with incredible pictures of the most important day ever as well as bring so much fun and comfort !! If you are looking for fun, professional, AMAZING pictures... Magnolia Photography is the perfect pick for you!!

e in heaven. Her lighthearted and bright personality instantly put me at ease in the midst of a hectic wedding planning process. Magnolia Photography deserves an A++ in the professionalism and responsiveness categories. They were always quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. Both women also worked graciously with each and every one of my vendors, which really does make a huge difference on the wedding day. I received all of my bridal portraits and wedding pictures in a timely manner - all of which couldn't have been more beautiful. Jana and Michele did an excellent job capturing every single moment of my wedding day, and managing to make it look just as beautiful - if not more - as it did that day. These two women went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day and pictures were perfect. Not only did Jana and Michele manage to keep 12 rambunctious groomsmen under control, but they were also able to capture the most precious pictures of our two pups. Beyond the pictures, I can recall a point in the reception where Jana offered to help me change out of my heels and into flip flops, so I could dance comfortably. I can also vividly remember Michele handing me a donut to make sure that I was able to get food in my stomach in the middle of making my rounds with guests at the reception. These small gestures go to show the significance they place on building relationships with their clients. Both Jana and Michele made every second spent taking pictures and posing SO much fun. Both girls had a way of making you feel comfortable, that allowed the photographs to turn out looking natural and fun rather than stiff and awkward. They are both a pleasure to be around. I really can't say enough about these two women. I felt, and still feel as if I came out of the wedding process with two new great friends. I will ALWAYS highly recommended Magnolia Photography.

hind the camera. Not only did they keep our clown groomsmen in order, but they encouraged fun and laughter the entire time. Even the guys didn't mind their pictures being taken! I cannot say enough about these girls. We constantly can't stop looking through the photos as every moment they captured was stunningly beautiful. Do yourself a favor and just book them already!! ;) (AND THANK YOU JANA & MICHELE! xo)

idal portraits - all of which were captured beautifully. We couldn't have asked for more as they were there each step of the way for every little question were very accommodating for our needs - going as far as being able to reschedule my bridals approximately three weeks before the wedding! Although they may specialize in weddings, we will not be letting these two go; I plan to have them capture all of our family milestones.

the wind and rain our photos were gorgeous and actually the photos in the rain were my favorite! I would recommend Magnolia Photography to anyone that needs wedding or engagement photos. They are excellent!

ife" shots than your traditional posed shots, and we absolutely loved the results. They are amazing photographers with great personalities, so they were able to work really well with our other vendors and bounce different ideas off of each other to make our day the best it could possibly be. We used Magnolia for our engagement pictures, wedding day, professional head shots, and now we are doing family holiday sessions. Magnolia is by far the best photographer we have ever worked with and we will definitely continue to work with them in the future.

ession, bridal portraits and the wedding day we became great friends. It made our wedding day so much more special to know that we were loved and celebrated by the two most amazing photographers. The other amazing thing is that they think of EVERYTHING and I never once had to worry about our pictures - that is the best feeling on your wedding day. Even when I had questions and fears they were experts and always had a plan. I wish there were more than just five starts!!!

extremely professional, organized and responsive, but more importantly they are super sweet and a blast to be around!! After we got our engagement pictures back, I knew our wedding day photos would be PERFECT (and they were!!). Any questions I had they were honest and helpful - Jana even helped bustle my dress at the wedding when no one could figure it out!! I would HIGHLY recommend these ladies to anyone!! Thanks again!!

it. Our photos are stunning and our memories are perfectly captured. Magnolia Photography is a home run.

oing to have the best time. Our wedding weekend was amazing and they made sure everything went perfectly! When I look back at our wedding photos, every little detail and moment are captured so well. The photos tell our love story and highlight an amazing night of dancing and celebrations with our family and friends. I am forever grateful for Michele and Jana and all they did for us!

table and really truly capture the best moments! We plan to use Magnolia any other chance we get! Would highly recommend to ANYONE!

just beautiful pictures. Jana and Michele are absolutely wonderful! Jana roughed hurricane-like rain down in Charleston to help us capture our vision for engagement pictures. Michele was willing to meet with us to take some more engagement photos after our Charleston shoot was a wash out. I could not have imagined not having them as a part of our wedding day... these girls know what they are doing! They helped me with recommending vendors, they met with me a few weeks before to talk over everything, getting a wedding day timeline together, they knew things about my wedding dress that I didn't even know existed. They are so organized and efficient which is exactly what you need on such a busy day. I have been a part of many weddings this year and I may be a bit biased, but our wedding pictures went so much smoother and were very timely compared to others. At our reception these girls took care of us making sure we had food and always had a drink at hand, so much more than just photographers. We weren't shocked when we got our wedding photos back and they were stunning! You will seriously not regret choosing Magnolia to capture your event!

r the wedding. I would recommend them to everyone! I never once had to worry or stress about the pictures for my wedding.

l of the beautiful pictures they took. Would recommend them in an instant!!!

end them to absolutely everyone!

ide me, capturing the most important day of my life thus far. And man did they deliver! My entire process with Jana from start to finish was amazing. She was there for me day or night, email or text to answer any silly question I might have had or to simply tell me to relax it will all be fine! I cannot thank the Magnolia Photography team enough for surpassing my expectations and making me one happy bride! I am so excited to have found them and look forward to working with them again. You not only get good photographers when you hire these girls - you walk away with so much more - Great Friends!

ngs they have shot, and never thought in a million years we would have one of our own to be so in love with. These girls are truly some of the most talented women we have ever come across and we cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and countless hours behind their lens and computers. They made my husband, Seth, and I more comfortable in front of a camera than we ever could ourselves. Every moment, every smile, every laugh, and every serious face (they oh so eagerly wanted me to do!), turned out even more beautiful than we imagined in our heads. Seth and I both have younger sisters in college and they have insisted on having Jana and Michele right there with them to be their wedding photographers one day! These girls make an amazing team together and we feel like we've known them for a lifetime. Thank you for capturing every special moment and memory from our engagement session, to my bridal session, to our kate spade inspired wedding day. We love you girls so much and thank you a million times, thank you!!!!

ade sure EVERYTHING went smoothly. Anytime I needed them, all I had to do was email/call/text, and they responded within minutes - they were so supportive and helpful during my planning process! If you want photographers who take beautiful pictures AND are fun to work with, I highly recommend these ladies!

acebook. After that caught my attention I found (stalked ;) their numerous wedding photos on Instagram (#magnoliaphotographyncsc) and knew I had to use them. I worked with Michele - She was so down to earth, easy to talk to, and open to anything. Not to mention she rolled very smoothly with my now husbands sense of humor! When I reluctantly suggested we do our engagement photos at a less than glamorous old sailboat yard/marina she was so excited, which of course made me excited that she didn't think I was crazy for wanting them there ;) Throughout the wedding planning process Michele was always so easy to get ahold of when I had any questions, or needed advice on anything. She helped me with choosing my coordinator/florist, my DJ, and helped me with the day-of wedding timeline. On my wedding day I felt such a sense of relief when Michele and her assistant photographers arrived. They were like flies on a wall, but were there the second anyone needed anything. The girls at Magnolia Photography are genuinely excited for each of their couples. They make you feel as if your the only person they are working for. You will not regret using them as your photographer. Besides saying 'yes' to my husband, it's the best wedding decision I made. Next up (one day), maternity session! ;)

captured funny and special moments I would have never thought to ask for. All the action, as well as fun parts that you are so busy at your own wedding that you miss. These girls truly have their customers best interest at heart. They want to capture stunning images just as much as you will, and they do not stop until everyone is happy! Jana and Michelle are such a pleasure to work with, they are always happy and excited about their job, and they have to ability to win over every person in the room, brides, grooms, parents, guest, wedding party, you name it. We had so many complements on their good spirits, manors, and creative work ethic from many of our guest, bridal party members, and others helping to make our wedding day special. Our photos are so special to us, and I am so glad that we trusted Magnolia Photography with our wedding day memories! Not only have I been a bride for Magnolia, I have also been a bridesmaid at a wedding they were shooting. They had the same exact passion and excitement and once again went out of their way to make this bride and grooms day special.

They provided Stephanie with helpful tips throughout the whole wedding planning process which were greatly appreciated and extremely helpful! No one else compares to these girls and their outstanding work! Thank you both again for all of your hard work and dedication! We miss you tons and love you both<3

uldn't be tipped off. Ps. Michele, I totally thought I was ruining your bridal portraits. They improvised and acted quickly when the day of my bridal portraits turned into torrential downpours in Pawley's Island and met me half way in Wilmington at Airlie Gardens for a beautiful bridal portrait session. Our wedding was small and simple but they managed to document every detail and I couldn't be happier with my husband stumbling upon their website, we've gained lifelong friends and the perfect photographers to document our journey. Now, which one of you is up to shoot a birth in a few years? :)

arty, and of course their AMAZING pictures I knew I had to have them for my day! From start to finish they do more than the average photographer in making sure that you have the best day ever. If and when I need pictures done Magnolia Photography will be the one and only phone call I make! I couldn't have been any more satisfied. Jana and Michele are two of the sweetest people I know, who will go over and beyond to help in any way they can.

orking with them was flawless - they were full of ideas, made me feel comfortable, and were a DREAM to have by my side! We chose their all-inclusive package, and we couldn't believe how much we got - the photo albums, the canvas print... so many great things! You NEED to book Magnolia Photography - you won't regret it!!!

m my husband. The photographs we received are such high quality, we got them back so quickly and friends & family can't stop talking about them. Every picture came in black and white as well as color so we could choose which we liked more. They did our engagement pictures as well and made us feel so comfortable and even are amazing with dogs! Magnolia photography will forever be a huge part of our family and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for the most beautiful photographs and a lovely experience.

the work they produce. It's stunning.

ke sure we had great photographers. Magnolia exceeded our expectations for photographers. Even though I was planning from afar, they were so accommodating with my schedule. They offered to do a Skype chat when I first found them so we could chat personally and get some more info, they met us in Wilmington for our engagement shoot even though our wedding was in Morehead and at that time they were based out of Greenville. And to top it all off they are the most fun to hang out with! We did an engagement shoot with them and we are so glad we did, because not only had so much fun but we were so comfortable with them on the wedding day since we'd already been through the process. Jana and Michele are not only awesome photographers, but they are awesome people too. The quality of their work combined with how great they are makes them the best photographers in the area. I would recommend them to anyone!! Definitely look into working with them because they are great!

eeds others as I did a lot of research. You get the BEST, at a fantastic price! All my guest have raved about how gorgeous my pictures are, not only that, they literally captured my entire day. Looking through my pictures I remember everything because of them. You will not go wrong with these ladies! They are young, fun and full of great ideas. I really can't thank Jana and Michele enough for capturing my wedding day and making it so memorable!! Do yourself a favor and hire them for your special day, I promise you won't go wrong!! Love, love Magnolia Photography!

h with, answered all of our questions, and we're very personable! We used them for our engagement photos and for our wedding. All of our pictures are absolutely gorgeous, all of our guests have raved about how beautiful their work is. I even had a make up disaster on the day of my wedding and they were the first ones to jump in and help! My husband and I felt so comfortable around these girls, which was very important to us! I would definitely recommend these sweet girls to anyone-for any occasion! I was so lucky to have the chance to work with Magnolia Photography! They captured the best and most important day of my life so far, and their work was absolutely amazing!

We have received so many compliments on everything they have done, not only from friends and family, but also from other vendors about the quality of their work, and how easy and fun they are to work with. Both girls are so very creative and talented, and will do whatever it takes to get the prefect shot. But these girls are so much more than photographers. They helped with any question I had through out planning and made recommendations when I needed it. A week before the wedding, my mom fell and broke her shoulder, and Jana and Michele stepped in on my wedding day to do things my mom couldn't. They put my veil in, pinned on boutonnieres, helped me into my dress, put my garters on (then took them off when they felt weird on my leg), pinned my hair up when I got hot, and helped me change into my get-away dress. Both girls make a point to develop a friendship with their brides and it makes working with them so enjoyable! I know that I will keep in touch with them in the future, and would recommend them to anyone for anything. Book them now, you definitely won't regret it!! :)

step of the way leading up to the day. Jana and Michele made me and my family extremely comfortable with me and my daughter absolutely loved them both. On the day of my wedding the first text I received were from them saying happy wedding day to me which made me smile from ear to ear. They were at the venue early and worked well with my planner. At one point on my big day it rained and I was afraid that I wasn't going to have my outside wedding. My planner had come to tell me that is was still misting outside and that we were going to have to move it inside. Michele saw how upset I was and her and Jana made the trip outside to see if it was a complete loss as to having it outside. They made my day when they came back up to tell me that it was misting and underneath the trees that the ceremony took place under not one guest would get wet. Because of these ladies, my vision came true and they were amazing. Their work is spectacular, they are spectacular and they really do become the greatest new friends you could really ask for. A picture that we had saw once before I wanted to try and I put my trust in them helping me to essentially overcome a fear. Needless to say, that picture turned out AMAZING. Almost a year later and these ladies are still in my life. Jana and Michele are the best!!!!

tography trends. They are readily available, easy to contact, prompt, approachable, AFFORDABLE, and fun! Made my Wedding experience one of a kind. I would recommend to anyone. I will def be using them for other photo sessions; ie 1 yr anniversary and babies. I miss hearing from them on a daily basis! :)

able to relive every moment that is so precious to us. I do not know how many people have looked at our pictures and commented on how they literally captured every moment and detail of our wedding and that is something that is just irreplaceable. Also, know that when you hire Michele and Jana you are hiring more than just photographers, they become more like family! They make you feel so comfortable from the very first meeting and are so much fun to work with. All of our family and friends could not stop talking about how awesome our photographers were and we could not agree more!

that I had found exactly what I was looking for. From the first minute we met them in Raleigh for our engagement photos, we felt comfortable, and my (then fiancé) had fun, which is saying a lot for someone who hates to have his picture taken. Throughout the rest of wedding planning, they were there to answer any questions we had. They traveled to Charleston for our wedding, came to check out our venue on the day of our rehearsal, and seemed just as excited as I was for our big day. On our wedding day, I couldn't have asked for better people to spend the majority of our time with. It was verrrry hot, and they even were giving us wet paper towels to cool off at our reception! We received our photos a few short weeks after the wedding and they are absolutely amazing. They perfectly tell the story of our day, and bring us back to every little moment. Jana and Michele could not have captured our day more perfectly. My husband already says how he misses his friends Jana and Michele, and we couldn't have been more blessed to have them document our best day ever.

with, They were quick to deliver our photos after the wedding, and the results were amazing! They captured special moments and details that we will cherish for a lifetime. The website they used to upload our photos for family and friends was easy to navigate and our packing of the USB drive of our photos was beautifully done. We have already referred friends to use them, and will continue to refer them in the future. Go with them, you will not be disappointed!! We give them 10 stars!

. They made sure that we were able to eat at our reception in the midst of all the craziness. I cannot express enough how happy we were to have them. They were hands down THE BEST VENDOR we had on our special day. They out-shined all others. I loved how after the wedding was over we were able to see a few sneak peaks of the pictures just a day later. I would recommend them to anyone getting married in North Carolina or elsewhere! We love you Michele and Jana!

ng your event special. We felt like we had known them a long time just after meeting with them once. They were interested in finding our interest and style and portraying that thru our photos. Anytime I asked them questions or needed something, it was addressed quickly. I appreciate that because I can be impatient! Our engagements and wedding photos turned out better than we could even imagine. But beyond that we decided to do a Trash the Dress session. From day one Jana and Michele were willing and ready to do this session. They have so much dedication, by the end of the shoot both were covered in sand and completely soaked. They go to all extremes to get a great shot. We have developed such a great relationship with Magnolia and have gained 2 friends for life. Stop searching and book Magnolia today!! You wont regret it!

s not just one photographer it has two, Jana and Michele, to shoot all of your pictures from engagement to wedding! They are both amazing to work with, and you can tell they both a passion for the job they are doing! If they don't think something looks right, they will tell you, and they will go out of their way to make sure you receive the pictures you want! Our wedding day would have not as been such a success without the help of these two ladies! They were there at my (the bride) needs that day! From handing me wet paper towels, since I was sweaty from all the dancing... to always making sure my drink was refilled... to making sure that I got all the pictures I had requested during our meeting before the wedding! Heck, they even gladly drove us in our get-away car! In addition, I was unable to get the veil I wanted in time for my bridal portraits at the store I bought my dress from... so these ladies were able to contact a bridal company about 3 hrs away who had the prefect veil! They were kind enough to pick up the veil for me on the way from a wedding they were shooting that weekend, and brought it with them to the bridal portraits! :) We also added the photo-booth as part of our package! The guest really enjoyed that and could not wait to see the pictures following the wedding! I hope you find this review helpful, and you will not regret your decision to go with Magnolia Photography!

graphs. The packaging of product, quality of photograph and print were all worth the investment and more. Magnolia Photography did a fantastic job and were very aware of the memories they were capturing. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for strong and professional photography and I would definitely hire them again.
