Noah Magnifico - photographer

st shots. We had photos printed DURING our ceremony and we had access to all our photos right after the wedding. SO amazing. Couldn't recommend him enough!

of the emotions that you were able to capture in her portraits. Everyone has commented on how beautiful they are! Thank you for your expertise, your dedication , and professionalism. You come highly recommended in my book!

. He took beautiful pictures but more importantly, everyone at our wedding kept complimenting us on how friendly and funny he was. He really brought a lot of joy to our wedding day. Then (as if that wasn't enough), came to our wedding brunch the next day and delivered a wedding album. It was so fun to go through all the pictures the very next day with all our family present. Highly recommend Noah!

another photographer at the last minute. He didn't provide services that we paid for so he gets a zero. Responsiveness: He would often reply to emails instantly, but other times would let our attempts to contact him go unanswered for WEEKS. He ignored my wife's attempts to reach out to him via phone and text, and essentially told us he would only respond to emails. Professionalism: Too much to say here, but seriously lacking. He was NEVER able to successfully send us important documents in the mail, despite numerous promises. Meg had to drive several hours to meet him in person in Roanoke to sign our original contract--the only time he was ever able to get documents to us. He frequently misspelled my wife's name in emails despite her full name being in her email address. Over more than a year of coordinating with this vendor and he had long given up on our wedding without telling us. Value: We paid $842.50 for a headache and no services provided. He later offered to "donate" $400 back to our wedding if we opted-out of his services, signed a "document" and decided to go with another photographer, but neither the "document," nor the "donation" ever came despite MONTHS of waiting. Flexibility: Our original wedding date of October 12th had to be moved due to my unexpected service requirements (I'm a special operations military professional) and my dad's death. He attempted to work with us on the new date and location, but wanted to charge us $600 more or threaten us with not receiving any refund. When we refused to pay more, he just got out of the wedding by never sending us new contracts. Needless to say, we do not recommend him, especially for military. In the end, We decided we could not accept Noah's final offer to our BBB complaint of a partial refund in exchange for 5-star reviews and a notarized document with our home address and SSN, because we don't think you should be allowed to treat customers like this and get away with it.

aptures beautiful shots incredibly quickly, moves things along so you have plenty of time to enjoy the wedding and aren't standing around shooting pictures the whole evening. Everyone in our family loves the shots he captured.

ork with, not intrusive, works quickly, and has great suggestions. Could not be more pleased.

r more beautiful photos - and that's coming from someone who is incredibly camera shy. I could not recommend Noah more.

capture this new chapter in our lives. I highly, highly recommend him.

y know what to expect beforehand but I can honestly say that the photo shoot turned out to be a lot of fun. He is so good at making you feel relaxed and at ease. I love the various backgrounds that he picked out and I couldn't be happier with the amazing pictures that we received. I would highly recommend Noah as a photographer. I have no doubt that I will use him again!

g that he did for us that day and I know I can speak for both of us when I say we will be forever grateful. He is the epitome of professionalism, artistic talent, and is an awesome guy to boot. My wife and I have actually discussed utilizing him for our first born's photos based solely on how impressed we were with him on our wedding weekend. If you are considering him as your photographer for your upcoming event, my advice to you is do not hesitate. Book him immediately.

photographer should do. He was so professional and helped a lot with various details of our wedding. If you want the best, hire him! He will not disappoint!

! We look forward to our next experience with him!

I felt like I had known him forever. I was only there as the dog-tamer, but I'm pretty sure I had just as much fun watching the pictures as the couple had taking them. When the wedding rolled around, Noah captured the whole weekend perfectly, from the beginning of the rehearsal on Friday night down to the sparklers at the end of the wedding night Saturday. Just a few months ago, I had my own personal experience with Noah as he took pictures for me and my boyfriend. My boyfriend was a little hesitant when I told him we were getting pictures done, as he had never had professional pictures done before. Afterwards he admitted that he was happy we did them, and was so pleased with how comfortable Noah made us feel the whole time. I couldn't agree more! I've felt comfortable with Noah since the first time I met him, and I've had fun with him every time. Noah clearly has a talent, and the pictures he did for us turned out beautiful! He makes sure to get to know you, and the ideas he has for pictures are unique to each couple, which made them even better. I would 110% recommend Noah to anyone! I have nothing but awesome things to say about him!

would Have never thought of before. Even without editing our pictures looked amazing! -Megan

. In addition to taking wonderful pictures, he's very knowledgable about the process of weddings that make things flow and look better. Above all else, he is a great people person whether it is talking to them, directing them, or calming them down if needed. I 100% recommend him!

We met in September 2014 during a bridal show, and met again soon after for his free mini-session. He greeted us warmly in his home showing us several images, and then took amazing pictures just around the neighborhood with us. Immediately we knew that he was perfect for us. He was directive in telling us things (chin up, nose to the left, lean right shoulder forward, etc.) which was EXACTLY what we needed. We booked him immediately and quickly learned how much of an asset he truly was. He had suggestions for everything I was unsure of and was always willing to help or accommodate any odd request of mine. For example, the package we purchased included one enlarged image from the bridal session to be displayed at the wedding. I debated on which picture to select for days, but I finally asked his opinion on deciding between two images. Noah had the perfect solution, as he always did. He offered to print BOTH images, even though our contract only required one. As the wedding day approached, I was only more thankful to have him around. Not only was he the photographer, but he helped to direct things and make suggestions that we loved (like having my dad shake my fiance's hand after he walks me down the aisle to the altar). He was the one to situate my bustle and put my veil on for pictures without messing up my hair. He came to our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner to take photos so that people could get comfortable seeing him around. The day of the wedding he was readily available, along with his wonderful fiance Julie who ran our photo booth. He got along with all of the bridal party so well, and I'm pretty sure my Mom just fell in love! We had a few issues with the owner of the venue being present when he shouldn't have been, and Noah quickly settled the situation and talked to the owner later on to make a remedy to the issue at hand. After our wedding reception ended, he came with my new husband and I to Hotel Roanoke where we were staying and shot several amazing images in the lobby, our room, and other areas of the hotel. We saw several brides there as we were taking the images; yet he was the only photographer present! You could see the other brides full of envy as we all knew we had the best photographer! Noah always had lightning speed in getting us photos too. The photo booth pictures and wedding pictures were posted to his website by the time we returned from our honeymoon a week after our wedding. Overall, Noah was amazing. I wouldn't change a single thing about our choice for having him as our wedding photographer and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!

kinds of staging techniques to make a picture come to life. The bridal session was also the funnest photography session I've ever had. My maid of honor, myself, and noah just carried on like good friends and made the time fly by. I can't tell you enough how appreciative I am of him and everything he has done for me. He is truly a generous and kind person, and he is not only the best photographer I've ever had, but will be the only photographer I ever use again. I highly recommend him to any bride for her portraits or her special day, a mother for her children, a family for their family portraits, or anything that you would like to cherish forever with a picture that truly brings joy to everyone. Thank you Noah you truly made that Monday such a special day and I cannot thank you enough.

, but also the guests. Noah was very patient, energetic, charismatic, charming...I could go on and on. His enthusiasm and creativity made him absolutely worth every penny. He was a joy to work with and is passionate about his work. Noah is extremely creative and is bursting with ideas. Noah definitely made the entire event perfect for us. We could not have been more pleased with his services.

ple to bring out the best in them for their pictures. But he's also excellent technically, artistically, and has some really fine work in his portfolio. The guy inspires a lot of confidence when you see what he has done. His prices are very reasonable, his quality is high, and he's easy to work with. We're lucky to have him in our area!

ne having him at the wedding. His shots were creative and original, which was something I was looking for, AND his prices were reasonable--an unbeatable combination! We've hired him and done our engagement shoot, and the pictures are beautiful--he captured some really sweet moments between us, and the photos are getting rave reviews from our friends and family. Noah has also been a wonderful resource for other vendors, as well--he really knows the business. We can't wait to work with him on some of the creative ideas he's proposed for the portraits and wedding!

he perfect shot for each pose. He is creative and knows his stuff. I was very pleased with all of the photos I won't go to another photographer ever again. It was a fun experience and I have beautiful pictures to remind me of our special day all thanks to Noah.

he best time of the day to get married. He was more than accommodating during our wedding day. He went above and beyond the duties of a photographer and checked in on us during the wedding just to see if we needed anything. Not only was he fantastic during our wedding, but he was also great during bridal portraits and engagement sessions. He has tons of ideas that we would have never thought of! Now that our special day is over, we have THOUSANDS of AMAZING pictures to look back on and remember our day vividly. We are beyond happy to have Noah as our photographer. 5 months later, and we are still in contact and he continues to help us with anything we need!

where. I found Noah just by searching THIS website and knew he was the one for me. He was reasonably priced and I liked the photos I saw on his website. When I contacted Noah, he was incredible responsive (got back to me within a day). Then the big day comes and I finally meet Noah. He was great! He took a ton of photos, which was fantastic because it really captured the entire night (who needs video when you have Noah?!). Everyone commented how much they liked Noah and made everyone feel very comfortable. The next day, Noah came over to my house and had THREE photo albums. THREE!! One for me and my husband, one for my family, and one for the grooms family. I can't believe it! I guess all in all I could not recommend Noah enough. Noah goes above and beyond to make sure your special day is just that - special! He was amazing and I am so fortunate every time I look at my beautiful wedding photos that he was there for my special day!

best choices we made! Noah traveled to Northern Virginia from Roanoke to meet with me at the church and reception site months before the wedding. We spent over 3 hours talking about plans and he gave me so many good ideas. On the day of the wedding, he made sure everything ran smoothly. It was like having a photographer and wedding planner in one! Noah will bend over backwards to do anything for you. He will find time in his busy schedule to take your engagement pictures and bridal pictures for you the week of your wedding (because I procrastinated!). He will also make sure a bridal picture is printed in time for your wedding and even make an extra trip to Michael's to make sure you have a frame for your picture. Noah is very professional. He interacts very well with the wedding party and guests and is able to capture great photos. My guests gave him so many great compliments. Noah takes great photos and will spend the extra time with you to make sure you get everything you want. He will also print special pictures for you during the wedding that he has taken throughout the day. The greatest thing is that you get to wake up the next day to him knocking at your door with a honeymoon album in hand. He spends all night creating a special book for you to see the very next day with all the important memories of your wedding day. I can't say enough good things about Noah. He is definitely a great choice and one you will not regret!

put from a professional perspective. The picture quality was great and there isn't a thing we would change. Good choice for anyone with an upcoming wedding!

etter photographer. He made the whole process easy and fun for the whole wedding party. I would recommend Noah to everyone.

t married in GIles Co. VA. at The Inn at Riverbend. Had a small "family" wedding and Noah was one of the photographers to choose from in our package. I remembered him and didn't hesitate to tell my "wife to be" that he is the one to use. Needless to say we couldn't have been happier with our Wedding Pictures! Our wedding included a night stay at The Inn at Riverbend (Bed & Breakfast). Noah had our DVD with all our pics on it and included a framed 8x10 of one of the pics WAITING FOR US WHEN WE WOKE UP THE FOLLOWING MORNING! Now tell me "How could you not choose this guy?"

, it is fun. He was so personable. After the nuptials he spent so much time with us to make sure he captured our personalities. He even fixed for me my favorite drink! The next morning he had our photos on our breakfast table, along with a beautiful framed shot. You just can't beat those special touches. Noah captured and created wonderful images of our day!

nd the way he playfully got everyone to do exactly what he wanted them to do. That isn't always easy with a large group of people during a wedding venue. We refer to Noah as "The Great Magnifico" because he is quite the magician with his ideas and the color of his pictures is usually very bright and clear. Thanks so much Noah for making our son and daughter-in-law's wedding live on in your gorgeous pictures. We will treasure them for years to come. Thanks so much Noah.

wn to talk to Noah before the wedding I thought it would be a 30 minute meeting-an hour and a half later I had photography ideas along with a list of wedding tips I never would have considered. When the big day came he helped direct and keep things moving smoothly all the while snapping away amazing and unique shots. He even gave cough drops to a guest who desperately needed them! I wanted bright and vibrant one of a kind wedding photos and that is exactly what he delivered. He relies on his skill and not photoshop so we had photos that night and then the day after a wedding album along with all the digitals. When I had some of the photos printed onto fabric for a quilt the printer was impressed with size and quality and had no issues enlarging the images. I highly recommend Noah he went out of his way to make sure we had a great day and beautiful photographs to remember it by.

warm and delicious cinnamon roll skillet to munch on as we got to know each other! This personal touch really allowed us time to get to know him as a person/photographer and gave him the chance to understand and know what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. We knew immediately that he would be our perfect choice. Noah's work is incredible and he goes beyond the duties of a photographer. Leading up to our wedding day, he offered wonderful insights and advice for multiple aspects of the wedding (decor, arrangement, timeline, vendors, etc.), but never was pushy with his ideas. He always gave his advice and recommendations but left it up to us as to what we wanted to do. He offers many different packages and will accommodate to your wants/needs. The weekend of our wedding, Noah was excellent! He captured all possible memories we could have wanted (both at our rehearsal/rehearsal dinner and at the wedding/reception), but was very behind the scenes and did not interfere with the celebration at all. Though we were the center of his attention, he also made our guests feel welcomed and appreciated, even handing out photographs to certain guests throughout the evening! We would definitely recommend Noah to anyone looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond yet is very affordable and reasonable in pricing.

session much more tolerable, but he did it in a way that didn't seem canned or scripted. He took time to take unique pictures of my new wife and I away from the venue and accommodated almost all of our requests. His quick turn around of pictures seems almost impossible considering the quality of the photographs. While booking him he was extremely transparent about working within our budget, available packages, time frames, and other aspects of his services on the day of the wedding. I cannot recommend him more highly

that had a great character. Noah fit in well with both sets of friends and families! Not only are we in love with our photographs but our guests raved about how funny our photographer was. There is no doubt in my mind that we chose the best photographer around. We can't wait to use Noah Magnifico for our future family photographer!!!!

above and beyond and the result was priceless in my opinion. We purchased the unlimited package which meant we had Noah all day for an unlimited amount of time. Noah went with my guys to shoot their activities in the morning and then came to my house to shoot the girls. He was so enthusiastic and kept the energy up and happy. He also seemed very aware of where everyone should stand or move to get the best possible shot. Looking back, he captured everything I could have wanted, from pictures of me getting dressed, to pictures of my mom putting my her pearl earrings on me, to my groom's facial expression as I was walking down the aisle toward him! Perfection! My wedding day seems like a blur now because the day went by so quickly..so looking at the pictures, I get to re-live each moment and Noah did an amazing job at truly capturing every emotion of the day. I should note also...he acted as a mini wedding planner..On the day of the wedding he helped with things that hadn't even crossed my mind..like WHO is going to do the dishes and clean the champagne glasses before going to the church?? NOAH did them all! In his words "you're not going to come home tonight, in your wedding gown, and want to do dishes". He even bustled my dress for me at the church!! We had also ordered a honeymoon album..well he hand delivered it to the wedding night hotel room only hours after our reception had ended! Truly amazing. I cant recommend Noah's work enough. He did an amazing job, and I am truly thankful for him helping to make our day so special!

lovely portfolio, but more than that he provides a dynamic demeanor that is simultaneously enthusiastic but also calming for the wedding party (at least the bride and bridesmaids). He was key to cementing that day and those memories to "film" in the exact way that my sister had hoped for. He even allowed a good friend and amateur wedding photographer of mine be second photographer to learn a few tips during the event. Noah's a wonderful person and great photographer.

anted to do, but Noah helped me pull it all together and make it perfect. I called him a number of times to work out the details, we set the date and our plan was set in motion. Noah helped me create a proposal that will go down in the history books! He's awesome! Bride- Okay let me start from the beginning. Apparently Noah and my fiancé had literally spent HOURS on the phone coming up with a foolproof plan so Mike could propose without me having any clue. The fact Noah was so invested that he was willing to spend hours helping someone he had never met is so telling of his love and dedication to his business. On May 28 we happened to 'accidentally' run into Noah while taking pictures ourselves on Virginia Tech's campus (I had no idea this was part of the plan). Noah spent a large part of the day taking our pictures around campus, and I immediately felt comfortable around him. He had us laughing the whole day. After some car troubles, which Noah handled like a champ, and even getting our picture with President Steiger, we finally headed to Lane Stadium. I still had absolutely no idea what was going on! They were such good actors. In the tunnel of Lane Stadium, the love of my life proposed to me in the most heartfelt and perfect way I could ever imagine. Since I can hardly remember what he said, I feel so fortunate that I will have the photos for a lifetime. After spending the day with Noah, I remember saying to Mike that night "I miss Noah." He is truly so fun to be around! We can't wait for Noah to take our engagement photos, my bridal portraits and photograph our wedding!

haps more importantly, an expert in all things wedding and photography. The pictures he took during the ceremony were amazing and he was able to take them from all the angles he needed without detracting from the ceremony or distracting our guests. By the time we entered our reception, our parents already had framed photos from the ceremony. Noah continued printing photos throughout the evening and handing them out, which our guests found very special. We also enjoyed waking up the next morning to not just our honeymoon album sitting at the front desk, but also a flash drive of literally thousands of photos from the weekend's events. All that said, Noah was much more than a photographer for us. Any time we had a question, he was always there with ideas and suggestions. The day of our wedding Noah helped with so many things, including a last minute change to the ceremony due to the weather. We're not really sure how things would have turned out had he not been there. We really enjoyed our wedding and many of our guest have told us that it was the best/most beautiful/most enjoyable wedding they've ever been to, and Noah was there not only to help make it happen but to capture that day so that it will never be forgotten. We would not hesitate for a second to recommend Noah to you as a photographer for your special day.

icture of the bride and groom, Noah suggested family pictures. He worked very well with out children and made them feel very comfortable. I, as the bride, did not want to do a bridal portrait, but after meeting Noah and discussing options for a wedding package I agreed to have the bridals done. Best decision I ever made, we got this really great shot which everyone at the wedding loved. Noah is not afraid to go above and beyond for his brides, even if it means taking pictures in someone else's yard. The day of the wedding was wonderful. I never worried about the photographs because I knew Noah was on top of it. He was outstanding to work with and a gem behind the camera.

me of quality pictures he took were amazing. I also appreciated the fact that it just didn't include staged photos of the bridal party. He was able to get candid shots of all guests in attendance, the ceremony, and the reception. He also went the extra mile by assisting with tasks like cleaning my bride's dress, sprucing up our cake, and coordinating with the reception staff with seating. I'm thankful that we decided to go with Noah and would highly recommend him to others.

came recommended to us and we were expecting he would be far out of our price range and never willing to work with us. Were we wrong! He was flexible in his packaging and offered us a package of just what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he not only took great pictures but also took care of things I would never have considered part of his job description. For example, he helped clean mud off of my wedding dress and wedding shoes with baby wipes, helped bustle my dress, and arranged flowers from one of our bouquets onto the wedding cake so that it would look nice for pictures (we had chosen to only pay for a plain cake). I know that our diy-low-budget-wedding would not have gone as smoothly and beautifully as it did without his helpful coordination.

ob helping control the family that would have taking up all our time getting all of their pictures and he made sure we got all the pictures we wanted. One helpful piece of advice is let him pick the shots he is amazing at what he does, we tried to have "ideas" and his were always better. Noah even helped me get into my dress on the wedding day. I was on a tight budget paying for the whole wedding myself with no help and Noah was the best value out there! I highly recommend him!

arsal and took shots just because he was in the area. On the day of our wedding he was awesome with communicating with other vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly. He also had some surprises up his sleeve during our reception that were very special.Everyone keeps commenting on how amazing our photos were!

rtable with the whole process. Noah took the time to reassure us and direct us when needed in order to get great photos. Working with Noah was such a fabulous experience. He understood that our puppy was apart of our family and was happy to include her in our pictures. Noah was wonderful about capturing just enough fantastic pictures with her, as well as focusing just on the two of us as a couple. Noah took a variety of pictures and poses. He had such a great understanding of the area that he was able to create wonderful and varied photo opportunities within a smaller area of an otherwise expansive town, allowing us to use more time taking pictures and less time wandering around. In addition to a fantastic experience while taking the pictures, Noah had our pictures available for us to view so quickly. I can honestly say that I was smiling for the whole afternoon after our experience with Noah Magnifico.

a very close friend of the bride and groom I was glad to see such an outstanding photographer to document these precious moments of my dear friends.

d they turned out better than we could have imagined. I am in the USAF and during the month of December Noah was doing free military weddings. He didn't miss a moment in our entire wedding. He made some special pictures for us to have everlasting memories. I would recommend Noah for any type of event. Lewis Wedding December 16, 2012 Virginia.
