The sweetest husband and wife team who were a joy to work with! They made us feel comfortable, were fun to be around, and captured our day beautifully.
My husband and I had Meagan Gaines Photography to shoot our wedding and they were absolutely amazing. They were so easy to work with and made every step of the process so smooth. We met with them a couple times before hand to go over the pictures that we wanted taken, as well as them get to know us. They were so patient and made sure to capture any little detail that we would want to look back on.
The photos were one of the only things that I was very particular about and they knocked it out of the park!! The sneak peeks were incredibly beautiful and did not disappoint. They did an amazing job of capturing all the love, laughter and fun we had throughout the entire day. I could not recommend them enough and I am so grateful they were able to capture our wedding day.
Meagan and Joe are my favorite people on earth!!! They are SO sweet, so cool, so easy to work with and so nice to be around. Their work is AMAZING and I am so happy we found them to capture our wedding. We booked an amazing package that included an engagement shoot, so we had the chance to meet them beforehand (exactly one year before our wedding!), and we had such a fun day. I thought it would be an awkward experience (because we wouldn't know what do with ourselves) but they made us feel comfortable and guided us the right way and our pictures came out so so great.
As for our wedding -- I have no words. Our portraits are works of art and our candids throughout the day are the perfect portrait of how the day went. We got our pictures back quicker than I expected and went through a whole rollercoaster of emotions all over again because they captured our day so perfectly; we laughed, we cried, and we cried laughing looking back at our pictures. All of our guests had only compliments for them!
Meagan's editing style is also exactly what I was looking for, clean and modern, so I am super glad I found her by just randomly scrolling through our venue's Instagram. I recommend her in a heartbeat and now I need to find some other things to celebrate about so I can hire her again!
Meagan and Joe are the greatest photographers and humans around- they made everything from engagement pictures to our wedding day an absolute dream!!! They are so kind and talented and you should hire them immediately!!! I promise you won't regret it!!! :)
Can I give more than 5 stars to this wonderful husband and wife team?! You are the dream. You made my dreams come true for our wedding photos! You are kind, understanding, helpful, and put up with my sassy attitude when I stood on the grass for too long in those heels. Thank you for loving me and my groom so well! Thank you for making us look good and not awkward like we really are. I will never ever stop recommending you to anyone and everyone. I will never stop using you for photos. I felt like a movie star!
Meagan & Joe are seriously the sweetest people you’ll ever meet!! Not to mention the best photographers!😍 we hired them for our wedding this past weekend and have nothing but amazing things to say & everyone that attended the wedding would agree. Not only did they take gorgeous photos and make us feel comfortable, but Meagan was constantly checking in on me and making sure I was doing okay. I fell in love with their work the second I found them online, but now that I’ve had the chance to actually work with them and get to know them, I’ll never use another photographer. Thank you both so much
My husband and I got married in February and cannot speak more highly of Meagan Gaines Photography! For as long as I can remember, investing in a really great wedding photographer was something I wanted more than anything else on our wedding day. Meagan and Joe were so incredibly wonderful in creating the best photography experience. They catered everything they did to our requests to make sure we got all the shots we were looking for. We had such a special time with them and we felt like they were our friends and we weren’t “just another couple” to them. They kept us laughing and completely comfortable in front of the camera. We decided to do things differently for our wedding- no bridal party, and a first look where we set aside time to take pictures just the two of us before we walked down the aisle. This was probably our favorite moment of the wedding day. It was so intimate and special, saying our vows just the two of us. And we didn’t feel rushed by time. It was almost like time stood still and Meagan and Joe captured all those amazing moments for us. One of the biggest obstacles on our wedding day was the rain…. but Meagan and Joe totally ran with it, almost like we had planned for it to downpour. They embraced the umbrellas and transformed our pictures. They even made sure we got some beach pictures without getting my dress dirty before I walked down the aisle. Their style and lighting and creative energy was so exciting and refreshing. And Meagan communicated quickly with us and had our photos back to us so fast! We love them all and it’s so hard to pick favorites! Honestly, Meagan and Joe were the best team. Couldn’t be more thankful for them. They had a smile on their faces the entire day and we would work with them again in a heartbeat.
Meagan and her husband captured our big day without being bossy nor in the way. The results were spectacular.
Thank you, Meagan!
My husband and I were married on Pi Day, 3/14/2020 at the Jacksonville zoo. Because the zoo only allows set up once they close, we didn't want to loose time and requested to purchase a larger amount of time, but split it between our wedding day and (pre)wedding picture of our first look and other wedding shots. Because Meagan and her husband were so flexible and accommodating this made our wedding day magical and having our wedding pictures done, much stressful. She and her husband were so easy to work with. Their demeanor is nothing less then kind and their suggestions on how to look, stand and pose made us look like we came straight out of a magazine. She made us look and feel fantastic! I would recommend them in a heart beat.
feel truly blessed to have met and worked with Meagan and Joe for our engagement and wedding photos. This couple is an outstanding photography duo and made everything so easy. My husband and I definitely felt awkward in the beginning because we don't take photos, but Meagan and Joe helped us relax and gave suggestions for poses. The passion these two have for their work truly shines through in their final product. I have received so many compliments on my photos because of the angles, lighting, and vision in each photograph. You will NOT be disappointed with choosing these amazing people to photograph your big day!
Meagan and Joe were THE best to work with! They are the nicest, friendliest, and most relatable people. We had them do our wedding and engagement pictures in 2017 and they came out wonderfully. I'm not really a very photogenic person, neither is my husband, and doing things like this seemed rigid and awkward, but they made everything feel so chill and easy. Meagan is super open, she great always proposed great locations and ideas for pictures, and always had a smile on her face. Definitely use them if you want an easy, no-stress photography experience!
Meagan and Joe were the best photographers we could have asked for. They made sure that we got all of the shots we wanted, and they knew the best way to get them. Our sneak peek of our photos was gorgeous and we can’t wait to see the rest.
We absolutely loved having Meagan and Joe photograph our wedding! They were timely, polite, easy to connect with and get along with, and took all the stress off of me. I was very impressed with Meagan's professionalism and knowledge. I really can't say enough about her! We did receive three preview photos very quickly after our reception, and her editing style is perfect. I can't wait to see the rest!
I cannot rave about Meagan enough! She is amazing! She in incredibly talented. She has great ideas for pictures, and each picture turns out truly magical and romantic. On top of her amazing talent, she is so kind! She is one of the nicest people I have ever met. We are so thankful to have found Meagan!
This is not a drill! If you’re thinking about booking Meagan, just do it! You will not be disappointed. She is the sweetest, most kind, amazing person ever. She makes you feel comfortable and is willing to follow you almost anywhere for the perfect shot. She made my dreams come to life. I cannot thank her enough! <3 These are memories that will last a lifetime.
Meagan is both an extremely talented photographer and all-around amazing person. She's probably the sweetest person I have ever met, and between Meagan and her husband we felt at total peace and in good hands with our wedding photos. We had so much fun shooting with her that our entire photo shoot felt natural for us and for our families. She brought the joy and love from our wedding to life in her pictures, and I feel so lucky to have had her there to capture our day. She sent us preview photos within three days and they are MAGICAL! Meagan listens to your needs, wants, and expectations and gives the perfect wedding shoot for you. We are already thinking of excuses to hire her again. Anniversary party, maybe?
Amazing!!!! I absolutely love our photos. She is the sweetest lady ever!!!! So easy to work with and makes you feel so comfortable. Amazing work!!!!
Couldn't be happier with the final product Meagan provided us. We had a great time with our bride & groom shots with her on our wedding day and Meagan had many creative shot ideas we absolutely loved! First class professional I'd love to work with again anytime.
Meagan was amazing on my wedding day. She made me and my fiancé feel SO comfortable and the photos show! She is professional but you will leave feeling as if you made a friend. I cannot imagine anyone else photographing my wedding! She captured it perfectly. Thank you Meagan!
