MK was simply incredible to work with for our engagement photos and wedding. Not only were our photos beautiful, but she also helped us work out our timeline and remained flexible...
with any changes that needed to be made. My husband was very nervous about working with a photographer, as he often feels uncomfortable with smiling for photos, but after our first meeting with her he said she made him feel relaxed and comfortable. I cannot recommend MK enough as a wedding photographer!
We love Mary Kim! We hired Mary Kim for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. Not only is she extremely professional and talented (the quality of her photos speak for them...
selves), but she is so fun to work with. We had a destination shoot for our engagement photos, and she made our vision come to life! We both don’t love to be in front of the camera, but she was an expert at making us feel comfortable and was great at communicating exactly what she wants us to do. We had so much fun on our shoot that we almost forgot we were having our photos taken. Our wedding day was no different. She worked fantastically with our videographer, and her second shooter Ashley was amazing. Mary Kim was the perfect balance of giving direction and commanding the attention of the wedding party, but did it in a relaxed way that let us have fun during our wedding photos. We went to several different sites and got so many amazing shots thanks to her creative eye! We got our photos edited and back to us in a timely manner and couldn’t be happier with our overall experience!
We can't thank Mary Kim enough for capturing our wedding day so beautifully! When we look at the photos, we can't believe how well she captured the joy, magic, love, and spark of t...
he day. We will cherish her photos for decades to come.
In addition to her photography skills, Mary Kim brought genuine support and positivity to our special day. A large part of wedding day schedules are allocated to photos, and we were so glad we got to spend that time with Mary Kim and her second shooter, Lauren. She brought a calm energy and easiness to the day, which allowed us to be relaxed, blissful, and truly in the moment.
The only challenge now is choosing which photos to print, because we adore them all. Thank you, Mary Kim!
Choosing Mary Kim as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We felt at ease with her from the first consultation and she was always open to...
our ideas for making our photo sessions our own and representing our personality as a couple. Mary Kim was invaluable in the weeks leading up to the wedding by offering advice on our wedding day timeline and portrait locations. On the day of the wedding she did everything from typical maid of honor duties, such as helping me into my dress, to corralling our families for portraits to helping save our phone from overheating during our live stream to *of course* capturing absolutely gorgeous images of our day. She is kind and approachable, yet highly professional, exuding calm confidence even during quite stressful moments. As a designer who worked in the wedding industry for over ten years, I will admit to being quite picky about photography, but Mary Kim more than exceeded my expectations. She is well worth the investment!
MK was the best choice we could have made for a photographer! She is so unbelievably talented, not to mention kind, courteous, personable, and professional. We did an engagement sh...
oot with her prior to our wedding, which was a wonderful opportunity to get to know her and her style. On the day of the wedding, she was extremely calm and efficient, ensuring that we got all the shots we wanted to (even with a bit of a time crunch on our hands). We are so glad we chose MK to photograph our wedding and look forward to cherishing these photos for years to come!
My husband and I could not recommend Mary Kim enough!! When we first met her, we both agreed that she was easy to talk to and she really knew what she was doing. She is truly the s...
weetest person and her work is (obviously) so beautiful. We have received SO many compliments on all of our engagement and wedding photos and have even had people tell us that her photo’s belong in a magazine (so true)!
She went above and beyond during both our engagement session and on our wedding day to make sure she checked off all of my wants. Not to mention, her turnaround time is amazing! If you’re looking for someone who pays attention to detail and will take care of you from beginning to end, Mary Kim’s your girl!
Mary Kim photographed our wedding and we are so thankful that she did! She was very helpful and intentional throughout the whole wedding planning process, and even gave us the sugg...
estion for the wonderful venue that we ended up getting married at! Mary Kim also remembers the little things. I forgot to bring a wedding invitation for detail photos the day of the wedding and Mary Kim brought one with her which was awesome! We really cherish the beautiful photos that we have from our wedding day and we will definitely ask Mary Kim to take our family pictures in the future!
Mary Kim did such a wonderful job on our engagement and wedding pictures!! She always tried to help me out in any way possible. Mary Kim's work is also very creative! Our pictures ...
don't only show people but truly show the emotions behind everyone. Also, her prices are very affordable for the high quality work she provides. She really listened to what we envisioned for our pictures and helped our ideas come to life! Also, Mary Kim is very sweet and down-to-earth, which makes the whole experience that much better. Thank you Mary Kim for giving us beautiful pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Mary Kim and her second shooter Becky photographed my wedding in Asheville, North Carolina and were AMAZING!!! Neither of them had been to the area before and still were able to fi...
nd great locations for photos. They worked with me on coming up with a photo list so we wouldn't forget anything and they overall made my day stress free. Anything I asked to have they did their best to accommodate and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to bride and groom looking for a photographer :)
Mary Kim is wonderful. She has an aesthetic eye that stands out from other photographers and she captured creative shots that we will forever cherish.
I am a graphic designer an...
d photographer myself. My standards are quite high but Mary Kim exceeded them. She is also very kind and personable, we were immediately comfortable with her. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
Mary Kim just shot my fiancé and I's engagement session, and we both could not be happier with our photos! The moments she captured are the perfect depiction of our love. Not only ...
does Mary Kim have an amazing talent with the camera, but her heart makes her the perfect photographer for any couple. She asked my fiancé and I questions not just about what we wanted in our photos, but also about our relationship and life to get a feel for the kind of shoot we would have. The session felt so natural and was so much fun! It felt more like a normal day at the apple orchard with my fiancé instead of a cheesy posed photo shoot. She has the perfect balance of being professional while having a great time. She is definitely well worth the price! I cannot wait for her to shoot my big day and have all the confidence in the world that she will capture every special moment!
You can see from her pictures the quality that you will get from working with Mary Kim, but beyond just great pictures, she was wonderful to work with throughout the chaos of weddi...
ng planning. From the beginning she was a great balance of being professional and laid back.
She was willing to shoot pictures in a new place that was important to my husband and I. She came out early to scope out good places in that area; places we would have never thought of. She stayed until she got all the shots that we requested and even ones that she was just wanting to try out; and got us what ended up being one of our favorite shots.
Another great part of working with her is that she went beyond just photography. She offered other vendors that we were still searching for and gave me some tentative timelines to help with the planning process. Overall we were very pleased with the whole process as well as the outcome we got from choosing MK Loeffler Photography.
Mary Kim has photographed my family several times throughout the last couple of years. From family photos to senior sessions, an engagement shoot and our wedding day. She was pleas...
ant and flexible for all occasions. Focused on making each one unique and fun. It rained literally all day on our wedding day. Mary Kim knew how badly I wanted outside photos and didn't let the rain get in our way. She was quick on her feet when it started to pour on us during our first look. We ended up in a local coffee shop for a fun impromptu photo shoot. Which ended up being perfect because we love coffee. We were able to get our outdoor photos in between rain clouds and also ended up with some fun photos at our (now) favorite coffee shop. Great memories were made! I'm always excited to see what she's going to do next and can not wait to continue working with her in the future.
It is with great, great pleasure that I write this review today. What I would love to achieve in this review goes above and beyond MaryKim just simply being an amazing photographer...
with a phenomenal eye. She truly is gifted in catching special memories that will truly bless her customers for a life time. Not only is she gifted in photography, but she herself is a Gift! This photographer is genuine and real. She shines in all she does and is just as concerned as you are with every detail on your special day. From every little detail to every little concern of yours, she will be right there for you on your wedding day to support you, encourage you and make you shine! I saw her work a few years ago and instantly knew that I wanted her as my wedding photographer. As you know, this is not a subject to take lightly considering it is one of the most important days in a woman's life. My wedding was out on a ranch in Texas but I didn't care that she was an out of state photographer. I was determined to have her as my wedding photographer. She flew down for my special day and She was flawless on my wedding day and helped me feel flawless! The entire day was smooth with no stress and I instantly felt a connection with her. To this day, we still have pictures hanging up all over our house from our wedding. One of the first things people notice when they walk through the door of our house is our fabulous wedding album that she created! I still look through it almost every week! It is hands down, the most unique wedding album I have ever seen. I would strongly and highly recommend her to any bride who is looking for not only great pictures, but for someone who genuinely cares about Your Special Day! I can promise you that she has your best interest at heart and she wants more than anything to help you create and remember one of the most beautiful days of your whole entire life. She is a phenomenal, special, and fabulous photographer!

lest. She helped keep me calm and made everything so much fun. Every shot was perfect. I got great photos and a DVD to be able to print them as I could. Mary Kim is so flexible and has an amazing eye for detail-- she made sure my husband and I looked great in every shot and took great care to ensure we for every picture we needed. I plan to hire her again when we expand our family. She's worth every single penny.
I can't say enough good things about Mary Kim. Her photography is stunning! The pictures turned out great and everyone loved them! She was also very patient and considerate, asking...
me exactly what I wanted and what I didn't want and giving great advice when I had no idea what I wanted. She was very efficient with the little amount of time that we had to take pictures, putting us in poses quickly and being very organized and kind the entire time. She took about a million pictures, which I like because she got some really touching candid shots of things like my mom watching my father-daughter dance (I wouldn't have thought to take a picture of my mom, but her expression was priceless). She also encouraged us to be ourselves through the entire thing instead of trying to pose in a fake way, which made the pictures turn out really realistic and great. She thought of everything and took photos of all the little details, which really helps to give the overall impression of the wedding when I look through my pictures. Obviously I could go on and on about how much everyone loved her! I was hesitant at first and considered finding a really cheap photographer but photos are all that lasts after the night is over and I'm so glad I chose to go with Mary Kim. It was worth every penny and then some!
MK Loeffler photography is expensive but when it comes to wedding photos, you get what you pay for. MaryKim takes the time to get to know her clients so she can reflect their true ...
personalities in her work. Besides a few minor things, I really could not be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. MaryKim is an artist!
