Magnolia Photography

and smooth. This is what every bride NEEDS in a photographer whether they know it or not. Michele was very responsive when I had questions and helped any way she could…doing much, much more than just take pictures. And we can’t thank her enough for being so great with our crazy dogs during the engagement and bridal session. You will not regret choosing Magnolia Photography!

he moment we met Jana, it felt like we had known each other forever, this is simply how personable and how her personality shines through! We have found our forever and favorite photographer for life and an even better friend through these past couple years planning our special day!! From doing engagement pictures at the beginning of a pandemic with our crazy dog, to changing venues, to changing wedding dates, Jana ensured every step of the way that no matter what, our wedding day was going to be perfect. It truly was a dream come true! Jana literally does it all on your wedding day making you so comfortable and works so well with all of your vendors which is so important! We are so fortunate enough that we can look back on these breathtaking pictures that were captured on our special day for the rest of our lives!!! March 6, 2021 was the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have done it without Jana and Magnolia Photography! Do not look anywhere else, Magnolia Photography is your photographer!!!

amazing! She captured every moment! If we had to choose again it will ALWAYS be Magnolia Photography!

r Chapel Hill, NC wedding, and her attention to detail, efficiency, personality, professionalism, and just overall quality of product are simply unmatched. I reached out to her first after getting engaged, because I knew several other brides who all spoke so highly of her, and it was the best decision we made. Michele will personally make sure every detail is covered, she will make sure YOU are taken care of leading up to and on your wedding day, and she will make everyone involved feel comfortable. I cannot say enough great things about Michele and her team! You will not go wrong in hiring Magnolia Photography for your wedding.

ends during their weddings and knew I wanted her to capture our special day. Jana is so personable, learns everyones' names, knows how to run a room in the most polite/efficient way, and her attention to detail is impeccable. She is so thoughtful and even mailed dog treats for our dogs (who were part of the wedding) when she mailed copies of our photos. After it's all said and done, you not only have breathtaking photos to relive your magical day, but you also have a best friend. I would highly recommend Jana and her team over and over again!

ask for better photographers for my wedding and could not recommend the enough!

e feel so comfortable and cared for. My bustle broke throughout the night, and she helped me pin it, sew it, and finally, when it wouldn’t stay, she helped me change into my second dress. She was such a comfort throughout the wedding night. She checked on me, checked on my mom, checked on my bridesmaids. OH - and she took the most beautiful wedding pictures! I feel so lucky and grateful to have found Magnolia Photography for my wedding!

nough good things about our experience with her. And of course, the pictures were unbelievable and she turned them around so quickly. By far our favorite wedding vendor. Would highly highly recommend Magnolia Photography!

er forgot about my bustle and left the ceremony location without helping me transition my wedding dress. Jana and Michele were right there to save the day! Everyone kept commenting on how amazing they were and they hadn’t even seen the pictures yet!! They just know how to direct you and get it done. I love how light and airy the edits are and their creativity with capturing unique and elegant photos is simply amazing. Love them!!

!! I booked Magnolia Photography last year for our 2020 Wedding and Jana was with us every step of the way. She honestly is more like family now! I was extremely nervous about our engagement photos (because we have never taken professional photos) and she made it so comfortable and easy and they were stunning !! Our wedding photos are so beautiful and I can not stop looking at them. Michelle and Jana got such great footage and I could not have imagined the day without them.

eam is. My fiancé and I were engaged long distance (very hard, do not recommend!) so I was planning our entire wedding remotely from Arizona. From my initial phone call with Jana, it was very clear that she cared so much about not only our wedding day but also me as a person! From the incredibly generous offers to go cake testing on my behalf while I was out of state, to the amazing recommendations she gave for vendors and other services I needed, I felt so taken care of even before the wedding, which made the process far more enjoyable! On the day of, Jana made me and our whole bridal party feel so comfortable and encouraged us to show our personality in the photos, allowing for everyone to genuinely enjoy themselves and the day. Even during the reception when I took my heels off and was walking around barefoot, Jana did not hesitate to run to her car to get me a pair of her own personal boots to wear, haha! Many photographers can take incredible photos, but the experience that was provided by the Magnolia team far out shines the rest. All this to say, Magnolia Photography is outstanding—our wedding photos couldn’t have been more beautiful and Jana is amazing and was essentially my 7th bridesmaid, and I hope she can be yours too!

ke your dreams come to life. They even got my husband to "smile with his teeth" in our wedding photos and I couldn't even get him to do that! 100% recommend!

ating and my pictures turned out amazing. I have also been in weddings Magnolia has done and they have always done an amazing job and are a pleasure to work with!

camera, had us laughing all day and captured the most BEAUTIFUL shots. 10/10 recommend Magnolia Photography!! Groom - I was super comfortable with Jana and Michelle, from the first seconds we met I knew we were going to be homies! Their direction was perfect and easy to understand. I had a lot of fun working with them. They wrangled in our big wild family with grace and style and got every picture we asked for! No doubt in my mind I would use them again. Highly recommend to everyone!

They were soooo fun to work with and we enjoyed every minute with them!! So much that we wish we could just do it a million times over! From bridals to getting ready, the ceremony, bridal party, and the reception they never missed a beat! They kept me on track and MOST importantly calm throughout the entire day and everything leading up to it! Thank y’all so much for making our wedding an absolute dream 💕🥰

nd there was no question about photographers because they are simply the best! We love y’all! -Carolyn and Austin

coordinated and delivered in a timely manner. The calm nature of the MP team reduced my anxiety on so many occasions as every question I had, photography related or not, they had an answer!!! I could not have imagined a more perfect photographer :) :)

to have her to capture our wedding. She is as best as they come! She makes you feel like you’re the only bride in the world and she instantly felt like family! She supported me through the entire wedding planning process in every aspect. She was always a phone call, text, or email a way. I couldn’t have imagined getting married without her! Having magnolia photography a part of our wedding was the best decision we ever made! Our wedding pictures are an absolute dream and I couldn’t be more thankful to have them to look back on and cherish forever. She captured all the happiness and emotions of our day and there isn’t a day I don’t look at all our pictures! Jana has become so much more than our wedding photographer. She has become a life long friend I’ll cherish forever! Can’t wait to have her capture all our special moments for forever! Both Jana and Michelle are everything and more you could want for your wedding/engagement pictures/bridal portraits/etc!!! We can never thank them enough!

ure your day goes smoothly and you can trust to capture the special memories of your big day. Our photos were better than I ever imagined and I will never be able to thank them enough. I highly recommend hiring them!

ur wedding day perfect. They went along with our crazy ideas and the photos were stunning! Every time I look at our photos, I smile from how wonderful our wedding day was and most of that was thanks to them. I would highly recommend Jana and Michelle. Amazingly talented and a blast to be around.

e went so above and beyond everything I expected from a photographer-- and now I consider her a close friend. Through family crises, our wedding venue going under foreclosure, bad weather, good weather, and everything else you can imagine, Jana kept me and my family calm and kept things running smoothly no matter what. I am very easily stressed out and I never felt that way with Jana. You end up spending a ton of time with your wedding photographers on the day of your wedding, and everyone in my family and wedding party just fell in love with Jana and Michelle. My mom is already saying she hopes they can shoot all of our family weddings. I really just can't say enough about these two women-- they are absolutely amazing, hilarious, and their photos are INCREDIBLE. If you're looking for wedding day magic-- look no further. Magnolia was seriously the best part of my wedding day (besides the getting married part lol) and I can't recommend them enough. Wish I could rate them 10000 stars!

love. They are extremely professional and follow timelines and what is important to the bride. Definitely recommend.

ve found them. Highly recommend . :)

people you will ever meet. Not only do the photos turn out gorgeous, 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!

e magical!

ing and they were so patient and helpful with each little detail. 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!

ity they have, beautiful work they do, wonderful personalities they 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!!!

. She was so easy to work with from start to finish. We couldn'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!

ed me every step of planning. Jana was organized, quick, and made 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!

ones they do not. They got blood out of my dress on my wedding day and Handled my large (and crazy) family and wedding party. Hiring these ladies is probably the best wedding decision that I made!

roomsmen in check! From our initial call, to our engagement session 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!!

to get in touch with and will help you in anyway she can. If I could give MP a rating higher than 5 I would. Love love love!

fun and wonderful people to use for your wedding day- Michele and Jana are THE BEST!! They are hands down my favorite photographers and I highly recommend them to any Bride!!

pher" she was so much more than that. My planner, my sanity, my 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!!!

or my engagement pictures and my wedding was the BEST decision! We will continue to use Magnolia Photography in the future!

mazing to work with and made everything feel effortless. Our “fall” 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!

ld be the ones for me!! Michele and Jana are absolutely the best! 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!!

very first phone consultation, that Jana and I were a match-made 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.

hey do and you can feel the passion and love for what they do behind 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)

y of our lives. They also took our engagement pictures and my bridal 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.

e got married in the chaos of hurricane Matthew. Even with all 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!

to pose naturally and just enjoy the moment to get more "real life" 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.

o much fun and joy to your special time. Through an engagement session, 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!!!

ncredible, but I loved working with Jana and Michele!! They are 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!!
