Maria Hall Photography

rk with, very responsive, and very organized. I would definitely recommend her!

for photos but she coaxed really natural photos out of us and we look great! I'm so happy with the thorough job she and her assistant did at our wedding. She sent us hundreds of photos and I'm so excited to print them out in an album and hang some on our walls. It's just hard to narrow down to my favorites! (A good problem to have) Her prices are very reasonable, especially for the level of quality and professionalism you will get. I'll note she was also very available for communication during the planning process. Just look through her photos and you'll see why you should hire Maria!

y to access through her photography website! We were able to get great pictures before around a year before the wedding and then again at on the day of the wedding!

y her style is traditional wedding photography, capturing the day exactly as it happened; even in the rain! We will treasure our photos for years to come, thank you Maria! Additionally, communication was great! She was punctual and we got exactly what she laid out in our package. Be sure to share your ideas with her, she will try to incorporate poses you like; we used some from Pinterest. Check out her instagram @mariahallphotography to see her work!

y recommend her!!

bes and personalities better than I ever could have imagined. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

ng. We will definitely be using her when it comes time for our wedding!

her being around!! Highly recommend Maria for anyone's photography needs as you will be in great hands and will LOVE the results!!

with and I knew she’d be perfect for my big day. Maria and her assistant did such an amazing job with our engagement photos (caught the moment my dog jumped into the pond and came running towards me.) She catches the best and pure moments and you can see how much fun everyone is having and how much love is in the room!

accommodating. We got some creative shots and the picture quality is very good!

telling our story and capturing every detail of our day. My husband and I are not photogenic, but Maria really made it comfortable for us and guided us on how to pose. I am really happy on how our photos turned out. 100% recommend.

wedding and engagement and took the time to walk us through the process and made us comfortable posing and gave brilliant ideas on how the pictures would come out great and they did indeed. The pricing was good and reasonable considering all the efforts and Maria was punctual and professional.

r my ideas and things like that. She was always quick to respond and thorough with her answers. She did our engagement photosession and we had so much fun and I couldn't believe it when I saw the pictures - I loved them and my fiance even said how much he loved them and he hates having his picture taken, so that is saying a lot! Maria is literally the last person I spoke to ( texted ) on the night before my wedding, because I had one last question and she responded right away even though it was like 11 at night! On my wedding day, she and her assistant Valerie arrived about 15 minutes early and were completely set up and ready to go at the "official" start time. The day was a blur but I can tell you that Maria has a knack for always being close by but without ever being intrusive - like if I needed anything at all she was right there, but after the fact I felt like I hardly noticed her coming and going throughout the day. Maria was super nice and all of my bridal party loved her, and even my grandmother said how much she like Maria, and that is pretty amazing because she doesn't like anybody that I'm aware of! Finally, my pictures were ready about three weeks after my wedding, and when I saw them, I couldn't believe it! They were absolutely amazing! She made me look like a supermodel and many of the images look like they came straight off the cover of a bridal magazine! I was so happy and when my friends and family saw them they all said the same thing! I couldn't be happier with my experience with Maria from start to finish and everything in between! I highly recommend her!

to our session! We will be hiring her for our wedding pictures in the near future. Thank you, Maria!

I was impressed by her responsiveness and flexibility. On the day of my wedding she and her second photographer showed up ready to work and took all of our asks into consideration. Even better, she had so many great ideas and suggestions we hadn’t even thought of. Then, when we got our photos to look at her editing was beautiful. We love all the photos she included in our virtual album. I have told anyone who has asked for a photographer about her. We will be asking her to do our family photos too!

y enjoyed. I'd recommend her if you want someone that will work with your ideas or if you don't have any, she can use her experience to get you to where you want to go.

for our engagement shoot last year also, and I can't imagine hiring anyone else. Just from the sneak peaks I've gotten back I can see that she got the exact shots I wanted and better! We will continue to hire Maria for any photography needs we have. If you want a great photographer that is also reasonably priced, choose Maria! :)

g day, she knew every picture wish I had and made sure we did not miss a shot! I could not recommend her enough!

tion the families and wedding party for pictures. And the saddest part is there are no pictures of the bride in any elegant poses alone on her special day and none of the wedding party at the alter after the wedding. She was not a professional photographer and I would not recommend her services to anyone that wants professional pictures done. Her pictures are nothing more than candid shots that anyone can take.

June wedding had to be postponed due to COVID-19. The outdoor venue cancelled all summer weddings and Maria said she was available in November. My daughter explained that her outdoor wedding in Ohio was not going to work in November. Maria said she was “sorry” but the $400 deposit was nonrefundable despite the pandemic. I asked her to consider at least refunding 50%. She said she had lost a lot of business and was “sorry” but she would not refund anything. Maria’s selfish heartless response was especially difficult for my daughter during the disappointing time she was going through. The wedding is now set for June 2021 and I can assure you that we will NOT be bringing a heartless photographer into our daughter’s ceremony of love.

r different shots. The photos taken with the bridal party seemed a bit rushed and it felt like a few key pictures did not get taken, however, this was partially due to a change in plans for the timeline leading up to the ceremony. I would recommend Maria to any bride!

was great to work with and made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted. What my husband and I liked about her is she kept things moving. Our bridal party (especially the groomsmen) kept trying to leave when we weren't done with photos. Maria was assertive and and made sure they stuck around! Our photos turned out beautiful and I would recommend her to any bride who wants an affordable photographer and beautiful pictures.

ully! It was really a pleasure to have Maria by our side on our wedding day! The pictures that we have seen so far, look gorgeous! She was always willing to try new and different picture spots to get a good picture. Not only does she provide quality pictures, she made us feel comfortable and enjoyed the wedding and getting a lot of great pictures!

been happier. Not only was Maria's customer service on point, her photo's were amazing. I would recommend Maria Hall Photography to anyone and look forward to working with Maria again sometime in the future.

he was always quick to respond to my emails if I had any question. She did an awesome job of capturing the night along with all the little details that we had asked for & we couldn't be happier with the results!

ith during the entire process. We gave her some suggestions of what we liked and she did a great job of incorporating those into the photo package. I would highly recommend her services!

We enjoyed working with her very much. After a few meetings we were comfortable with our plan for the wedding day. The pictures are simply beautiful. One of my favorite pictures is during the Lao su kwan and Maria is at the end of the isle and she is taking a lovely picture of the entire room. It captured how beautiful the Palm House was that night and us surrounded by all our loved ones. Thank you for everything.

xtremely professional. She was able to capture the essence of what we wanted which was to tell a story. I truly felt our pictures turned out like a fairy tale. I can't think Maria enough for the high quality photos. I can't choose just one favorite!

ate with. She had a plan ready when she arrived at the wedding venue, and we were able to get a ton of pictures done. The best part of all is that the photos were absolutely AMAZING! We have gotten so many compliments on the beautiful (and fun) photos that Maria took. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for stunning photos.

band and I live out of state and she was very easy to communicate with over the phone and through email. Her service was above and beyond, she captured so many great moments for the wedding and didn't miss any details. It also is worth noting that the morning of our engagement shoot was very cold, since we were only in town for the day, she did half the shoot then and then met with us later in the day so we weren't freezing! She really went out of her way to make sure the whole process was wonderful for us.

really receptive to my ideas and really captured our photos the way I wanted them, they're so beautiful! One of the best parts was how quickly our pictures were ready to view after the wedding!

couldn't be happier! She is an amazing photographer!

raphy for any special occasion.

easy to get in contact with and re-touched our photos and sent them back to us very quickly. She traveled to multiple locations for our engagement pictures and day of the wedding and was always prepared. I loved the fact that we received CD's of all of our photos she took and have them to print how, when and whatever way we want. I even did a boudoir photo session with her, and my husband loved them! She was awesome to work with, I would highly recommend her. Thanks Maria!!

photos were amazing, I hope to work with her again

some shots that would have been good but either we were not centered or there were People behind us who could have easily been avoided if we moved over a step or two or if they shot us from the other direction. There were also many shots we didn't get such as both families together, pictures of just me with my sister or mom or dad. Overall there are some good pictures but I am disappointed with the pictures. The worst part of this was our decision to use their friend and partner Troy as our DJ. Troy seemed unprepared and confused at many important parts of our evening. Seconds before our grand entrance he came out into the hall to find Us asking if I had the names of the bridal party for him to announce? I told him all of that information was on the timeline given to all of the vendors. He acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. Jacob form the Hilton gave him his copy saying the names are right here. So we began our entrance...he didn't play the song we had asked for as our bridal party and our grand entrance. They entered to no music at all and when he announced us he began to play our first dance song which we had a choreographed dance to making us rush to the dance floor me basically throwing my bouquet to my sister so we could begin our dance on time with the music. The confusion continued, he was unsure of when other big moments were happening including the speeches, the cake cutting, and our dances with our parents. As for the dances with our parents he played the incorrect songs for both my dance with my father and my husbands dance with his mom. Both songs he played were on the possible play list earlier in the planning but they were not the final songs chosen and on the final emails and timeline. As the night went on he was not playing many of the songs we requested. My cousin who was getting very annoyed checked in with him and he said his reason was he didn't have Internet access, she said he could use her room code if he wanted. Jacob from the Hilton assured my cousin that the DJ did indeed have the code but checked with him again. I was too busy meeting and greeting guests that I could not deal with this drama and had to just let it go but at the end of the night I was disappointed that many of the songs we requested were not played. My suggestion if you choose to use this company would be to not rely on email communication and have someone not directly involved in the day there with a copy of all the details checking in with both the pictures you want taken and the songs you want played.
