Had our wedding in early December and was promised preview photos in 72 hours. We finally received a "large" preview in mid February with promises that we'd have our full album wit...
hin the next two weeks. Flash forward to May when they said they were having an "automation" issue uploading the photos to the server. It's now August and they've completely ghosted me. Best part? We haven't gotten our free engagement session photos back either.
Michael and Tara traveled all the way to Boston to document our wedding. They were so much fun to be around for the whole day, and they were very responsive to what we wanted. Duri...
ng the planning process, they were very accommodating and helped us answer a lot of questions just because they have been to so many weddings. The photos are beautiful, and we can’t wait to share them with our friends and family! We highly recommend MASH photography!
Michael & Tara knocked it out of the park!! They are so unbelievably talented, fun, kind & patient. We didn’t get the chance to have many outdoor photos taken due to weather, but t...
hey made the best of it & exceeded our expectations. The photos were GORGEOUS! They captured our personalities & made us look a thousand percent better than I could’ve imagined! I cannot recommend them enough!

d it was raining. They captured great moments and I love our photos. They caught some photos we wouldn’t have thought about.
MASH Photography was by far the best vendor we had for our wedding, which my guests and bridal party made sure to let me know!
They took our engagement photos, which turned out ev...
en better than we had imagined, so we are SO excited to see our wedding photos! They were on time and made it very easy to communicate and coordinate throughout the day. They both have a special eye for detail which I appreciate so much. They will notice the tiniest things, like a stray hair which make all the difference in the quality of their work. I truly can’t recommend them enough. I’m already trying to figure out what kind of photo shoot we could hire them for next! We think their prices are great, also. They actually gave us a discount because they hadn’t shot at our venue before, which is so awesome!
Mash has helped us through the pandemic wedding, from our absolutely incredible engagement shoot, to our intimate wedding day. I was truly amazed with the results from our engageme...
nt shoot, and all my family and friends wanted copies of our pictures because of how great they were. On our wedding day, Michael was the first to fix my dress, while Tara made sure to wrangle everyone for pictures. They truly are the best power couple photographers, and I will definitely be calling them up in the future. My wedding album is so special and beautiful, and captured our love for each other on the rainiest of wedding days. If you want high quality pictures that fit who you are as a couple, please reach out to Mash!! They are so accommodating, relaxed, and helpful through the wedding planning process.

edding they did not one but two shoots with us so we could trash a wedding dress in the ocean! The talent that they both have is incredible and we can’t wait to use them in our future!
Had so much fun working with these photographers! They made our day so easy and made us feel comfortable in the midst of the busy day!
Michael and Tara were the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! During these hard times, they were so accommodating throughout the entire process. We had last minute changes in our schedules and they m...
ade everything flow so seamlessly. Every conversation leading up to the wedding with Michael was uplifting, especially when he knew how much of a stressful time it has been. During our bride and groom photos they were so creative and we could not be happier with how the photos turned out and the shots they were able to capture of our special day. Everyone after the wedding kept telling me how much they loved the photographers and how well they worked around everyone to capture the best shots. We would easily hire them again for any future event!
Michael and Tara were AMAZING! They captured all the best candid moments effortlessly and with a ton of creativity. Their coloring/lighting is super natural while also highlighting...

lutely stunning. I will forever cherish them. Michael was very prompt with all emails with questions & concerns I would have. Michael & Tara were amazing with telling us how to stand & not look awkward! They made it fun and I knew they had captured some amazing moments. I am so happy we had them on our wedding day & can’t wait to be able to use them again. Thanks so much again!
I am so happy I choose Mash Photography to be apart of capturing our special day. A lot of things went wrong during my wedding day but from the photos you would never know because ...
they capture all the best moments. The photos were beautiful and they delivered more than I could have asked for with the time available. During the most emotional part when I was going to have a breakdown Michael sat with me in the bridal suite to keep me company and helped me stay calm. I recommend them 100 times and more, for their professionalism but the extra touch of caring about you and the stress of a wedding day.
They were so lovely, fun, and enjoyable to work with for our wedding. We wanted a more photojournalistic style for our photos and less of the traditional photos, and they did a won...
derful job capturing candid and special moment for us. We met with them only once before the wedding and they took notes so when they showed up they knew exactly what we wanted. They were also available to answer any questions we had along the way. They dressed and acted professionally and stayed out-of-the-way as much as possible while still capturing fun and meaningful moments. The photos really captured the dreaminess of our wedding and we are loving looking at all of them. If you're in NC and need photos done, please reach out to them.
As the motherof the bride, my hopes were very high for photographers who would understand that this day was a dream come true for our daughter and son-in-law, and would capture the...
se beautiful memories forever for us. Mash did all of that and more! They are a true joy to work with and are SO talented.
If I had to describe their work in only one word, that word would be " STUNNING!"
MASH Photography is amazing! I knew we wanted to book them for our engagement and wedding photos well before we were to the point of booking based off of their portfolio. Michael a...
nd Tara listened to what we wanted and made it happen. They are FABULOUS with giving direction and making our sessions fun, which was super helpful because both the (new) husband and I are awkward as heck in front of the camera. All of our wedding party loved them, and our photos are stunning. Overall, it was great hanging out and joking around during our sessions and we have the best photo memories of our engagement and wedding day.
Michael is seriously nothing short of the absolute best. He has been with us from engagement all the way to the wedding. You can’t go wrong with MASH Photography. He cares and is s...

We were blessed to know MASH Photography through their work at Focus Church as well as through their Facebook page. Their quality of pictures always astounded us and we always drea...
med of hiring a photographer that would capture pictures of our wedding that would be as qualified as them. Of course, being on a budget meant that there was not gonna be a way for us to afford such awesome pictures right? WRONG! Not only were they crazy affordable, but they were so sweet and supportive towards our financial needs! They treated us like friends, not a paycheck! This was as special to them as it was for us, and you could tell by the amazing pictures they took! We are forever thankful for MASH photography and their fantastic work!!
From the very first meeting, I felt totally confident and at ease about my photographs. They were very responsible, affordable, and loved all my pictures! I would absolutely recomm...
end them to anyone who asked.
Working with MASH Photography was a great experience. There was a torrential downpour the day of my wedding but they somehow managed to get some really great shots despite the horr...
ible lighting and despite all of the rain. I was freaking out because we were running behind schedule with everything and Tara and Michael both worked hard to ease my worries and keep things running smoothly despite the delays with the ceremony and decorations even. Tara was incredibly patient and calming and I cannot say enough about how her demeanor helped ease the tension I was feeling. Highly recommend!!!!!
MASH Photography is a great business with awesome people! We booked MASH for our Engagement and Wedding Photography. Looking back it was one of the best decisions we've ever made...
. We cherish both albums. The photos were soooo beautiful! My husband and I are not "picture people"... but we enjoyed both sessions with them and our photographs.

Blue Ridge Parkway wedding. They worked very well with our other vendors (videographer), and were consistent in their professionalism. The wedding album is breathtaking, and the engagement album reminds me of my own romantic comedy! Highly recommend!
One-of-a-kind experience!

capturing the look and feel we were going for on both our wedding and engagement photography! Without any hesitation, I would recommend MASH Photography for your wedding and engagement photography.
Mash Photography is a dream to work with. They make wedding photography fun and exciting. We truly enjoyed having them capture our special day! I highly recommend this dynamic duo...
!
Michael and Tara are amazing photographers! When we were thinking who would take out photos for our wedding we immediately wrote to them and requested the date to be reserved because we knew that the experience would be special. Before our wedding date we captured our engagement photography which was spectacular and of course our beautiful wedding! Both experiences were so much fun! The quality of service they provide is professional but still inviting and comfortable. When we got our photos back from them we were beyond thrilled with the album! They capture every moment from behind the scenes to dancing to even our decor. Going through our pictures even now makes me feel as though it was just yesterday! :) I highly recommend this amazing duo for your wedding and engagement photography!
