We are so thankful we found Mallory! She was so fun and kind through the entire process and we love our photos. She did an incredible job of capturing candid moments of the people ...
we love most!
Where do I even start?? Mallory was the photographer we needed but couldn’t have even imagined! From the first time we chatted, her warmth and sincerity shined through and made us ...
feel at ease. She is a great communicator and made sure everyone was on the same page in the week leading up to our wedding and on the day of. Her style of photography brings out the genuine emotions of the day and captures the raw moments that you really want to remember. Many of our guests mentioned to us how impressive and professional she was. She kept everyone on track and never made us feel rushed or delayed. Overall, we just had FUN! I would highly recommend Mallory if you want a photographer who takes incredible shots, makes you feel like a million bucks, and is a total pro!
Honestly the best photographer I have ever worked with. She made the evening fun and just captured the moments. Not only do I feel like I gained an amazing photographer but also a ...
friend. She made everything personal and not about just the business of taking the pictures. Mallory took the time to truly get to know us and our wedding party. I can not say enough about how much we enjoyed having her and we hope to take more pictures with her in the future!
Mallory of Roots & Anchors is absolutely incredible for so many reasons! She will go out of her way to ensure that you are comfortable throughout the entire photo shoot or wedding...
day.
She solves problems before you are even aware that they exists.
Mallory took our engagement photos, was with me our entire wedding day and will soon be taking pictures of newborn babies. She feels like a member of our family. I will be calling her up for any photos that we need for the rest of our lives.
I HIGHLY recommend her for your wedding day.
I don’t know where to start, Mallory with Roots & Anchors is everything we could have wanted in a wedding photographer! Mallory kept contact with us the entire wedding process. She...
even mailed us a planning book which was so helpful. Re-read it week before wedding and remembered all kinds of little things that I should have remembered but wouldn’t have without the book. Mallory accommodated many changes when our son got COVID-19 before the wedding day.
Come wedding day Mallory shows up early and with such a wonderful personality to have as your third wheel on your wedding. Mallory did not stop at just photos, she was the bouquet holder throughout the day, the hair fixer, kept the timeline on track, and even taped my dress sleeves on when they wouldn’t stay. 😂
The photos we received in less than 2 weeks and they were worth every penny and more. They are ART! So so much more than a causal picture you take on a cell phone.
Now for the LGBTQ+ community 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️: Don’t look any further Mallory is your girl! All of Mallory’s print materials, book, questionaires, everything is gender neutral. Which is great when you get so tired of scratching our bride and groom to write bride and bride. That was the first win. The second was she never had any hesitance working with two brides. But the big win was when Mallory ran through the park with us with our pride flag tied on like a cape to take all our photos before. Let me say it was life changing having a wedding day with such postive people like Mallory who saw no different in my wife and I’s day vs. a bride and grooms.
I look forward to working with Mallory in the years to come for family photos and other events. ❤️
Mallory was the absolute best!
I met her at a wedding show and fell in love with her personality and photography style immediately. She met with my then fiancé and I for coffee to...
chat what our dream wedding would be— she was so helpful and kind.
Throughout the whole process, she fed off of our ideas and gave us some great ones in turn! Everyone in our bridal party just thought she was the coolest. She was the vendor we got the most comments on!
Our photos turned out beautifully and we can’t wait to see our album. (It was so hard to narrow down the photos!)
She even gave us some restaurant recommendations for our honeymoon.
It may seem a little pricey— but I guarantee you she is worth every penny.
Mallory is the absolute best! Not only are her photos AH-MAZING, she is so personable and fits every couples needs! Her outgoing nature gets even the shyest couples to open up! She...
will do anything to get the perfect shot! I’ve hired her for my wedding and engagement session, and while those haven’t came yet, she has done personal photos for me and also my moms wedding. Everyone STILL brags about the photos she has done! She is truly the best!!
