Maison is more than a photographer. She's a WEDDING EXPERT!!!!
What first drew us to her was the way she uses light in her photos: they capture the delicate details of such an important day, but also depict the candid, lively moments and FUN ...of the day too. It was important to us that our pictures not look stiff and posed, but that the day was truly preserved in time. It was clear that Maison and Caleb understood exactly what we were looking for.
Maison will go above and beyond to learn about you as individuals and as a couple, along with what is important to you in your pictures. She was flexible, calming, and reassured us that no matter where our wedding was or otherwise, (pandemic planning) it would be perfect.
After signing with Maison it was clear we partnered with a true wedding expert. She sent us her PERSONALIZED wedding planning guide, complete with handwritten sticky notes stuck to pages she thought we would appreciate. (Like, what?!) She checked in with us throughout our wedding planning process and even took the time to meet with us prior to the big day so that we could go over our timeline together, so she'd have a heads up of special moments we wanted captured. She has surprises up her sleeve which she rolls out throughout your engagement, (which I won't write about here because I don't want to spoil it for you if you sign with her) but she truly made working with her such a special experience. Maison and Caleb are both extremely experienced and connected in the "wedding world" so Maison even went above and beyond by connecting with our wedding planner, florist and other vendors to talk about how she would capture specific details. Whenever I'd drop her name to the other vendors who were part of our team, we always got "oohs and ahs" in response... She is truly the best!
When shooting, Maison and Caleb were just flawless. A huge advantage of MMP is that Maison and Caleb work seamlessly together. Since we did first look at the altar, it was perfect to have Caleb with the groomsmen and Maison with the ladies as we prepared. Similarly, while Caleb was taking our family photos, Maison went off to capture our ballroom. When they shot together in the same room, they didn't even need to speak to one another to communicate. (Benefits of photographers who are married!) They float throughout the room, working off of each other perfectly to capture every moment from every angle. You'd think we had a team of ten people photographing our wedding; nope! Just MMP. Maison will relentlessly pursue the perfect picture by rearranging even one strand of hair on your head, popping off a stray thread, even licking her own hand to get deodorant off my husband's tux. Seriously incredible.
The best part of working with Maison and Caleb is their love for love and all things wedding. This isn't just a job to them; it's their passion. If you work with her you will feel special, appreciated, understood, and reassured. Wedding pictures are not something we were willing to gamble with. We knew this would only happen once and we weren't willing to take a chance on just okay pictures. Our photos are not only stunning, they are heirlooms that have preserved our love and our union in time.
