Marsha is the best! She is so kind and so easy to work with and really just incredible at what she does. We would 100000% work with her again!

Marsha could not have been a more perfect fit for what we were looking for in a photographer. In fact, she is beyond that. She extended her services to more than just shooting with her camera. She offered sound advice - advice refined from years of experience in the industry. Marsha was able to anticipate what we could not while planning for our wedding. She became part of our story the moment we decided to hire her on as our photographer. On the wedding day, she did not feel like a stranger, but rather a friend who wanted to put you on the pedestal on your special day. In addition to her natural talent behind the lens, Marsha comes with an expertise and professionalism that makes you immediately want to trust her. As her slogan says, she shoots with her heart - and it truly shows. She had my trust throughout the whole process and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. She knew how to capture moments as well as create them - and makes you and your loved ones feel at ease and in comfort in the process. Marsha is the perfect addition to your wedding party and she surely does not disappoint. The memories created and captured have been made timeless mementos - photos I will look at with such awe for the rest of my life. Thank you for everything, Marsha!

Marsha was so personable yet very professional. Absolutely stunning photos that we will cherish forever. Definitely a class act, highly recommend to all future brides❤️

What can I say about Marsha…gosh…she is so damn good in what she does. I absolutely LOVE her and her work! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos….she’s just amazing! She’s professional, talented, great communication, easy going, very friendly, trustworthy, etc. She made the process so easy and made us feel comfortable during the shoot. She truly does shoot with her heart and you can see it in the photos! I highly recommend her!

Marsha was an absolute joy throughout our wedding process. She captured our engagement pictures & our wedding day. You can tell she pours her heart into her work & her clients! She's warm & truly listens to her clients to achieve their vision. I didn't know where to have our engagement session, so Marsha made a list of locations & we chose a gorgeous spot in the forest. The way she plays with light through trees is magical! She was also kind enough to allow our dog to join & so so patient with him! During the wedding planning process, she was quick to respond with any advice or help I needed. On our actual wedding day, she made sure everything flowed beautifully & she captured every last detail perfectly. Marsha is a dream to work with! I cannot recommend her enough.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Marsha for the past two years and over those past two years, she has photographed my graduation photos, engagement photos, and most recently my wedding! I can't recommend her enough. Her work is absolutely stunning! Marsha goes above and beyond to make sure her client's voices are heard and visions come true. She was extremely helpful during my wedding planning process and always assisted where assistance was needed. After our wedding, our bridal party told us how much fun they had taking pictures and we have Marsha to thank for that. I HIGHLY recommend her and will be using her for all my future photography needs!

Marsha did our engagement photos and our wedding, she truly does shoot with her heart. We are beyond grateful for her, her work and the passion she has for photography. She went above and beyond what we could have ever imagined for our engagement and wedding photos. She made us feel like we were the only couple she had for the year, and was there for us when we asked any questions, even if it was non-photo related. She has so much knowledge and creativity, sessions with Marsha are an absolute dream. One of our top priorities for our wedding was an amazing photographer, and we chose the perfect one! We recommend her to all our family and friends and will for sure be using her for family photos in the future

Marsha was the absolute best! She captured my husband & I’s wedding and engagement photos. She made everything so easy and comfortable! Also, super quick with getting back to me if I had any questions. I would/will hire her for any other photo shoot & would 100% recommend her!! Her photos are AMAZING!

Marsha shot my wedding this year and was absolutely AMAZING! She captured every single moment & detail perfectly. I could not have asked for a better photographer! I highly recommend The Photegé! :)

Marsha shot my daughters wedding (Haley & Ross Hough) and she was absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to see all the picutes. Thank you sweet girl.

Where to begin?! If you’re on the hunt for a photographer for your upcoming wedding — scratch that, if you’re on the hunt for a photographer for ANY upcoming life event(births, weddings, birthdays, family portraits, etc.), look no further. I’ve done the research and completed the “test run” for you. Marsha is an absolute joy to work with. Not only was she present for the wedding day but she was present for me every step of the way. She helped me venue hunt, she checked in with me periodically to make sure I was on track, she gave me travel advice, and maybe most notably to me, throughout the unknown of the pandemic, she was patient when plans changed.. again and again… and again. Throughout her most busy season, she still makes you feel like you are her #1 client. When I decided to hire Marsha, I expected a wedding day photographer but I got so much more. There aren’t enough words to portray how special this woman is. She genuinely shoots with her heart. I would choose her over and over again.

Marsha exceeded our expectations of an engagement shoot, she made it such a dreamy day and is so amazing at what she does! She makes you feel so comfortable like you’ve been friends for years and makes you feel like no one else is around. She truly puts you; her client, first, and makes sure you’re happy with every piece of work from start to finish. Our pictures came out so beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. We are so glad and grateful we found and chose her to shoot our wedding and engagement session, and we are so blessed to have her as our photographer for future adventures in our life

As you may know, 2020 has been a rollercoaster of a year. However, Marsha has stuck with Mike and I the entire way through postponements, cancellations, and an eventual elopement. Through this entire process, Marsha has become a dear friend. She exudes positivity, compassion, and understanding. She beautifully captured our elopement ceremony at Yosemite National Park, and we will be forever grateful for the memories she captured. Her talent for photography is incredible and unmatched. She sees the beauty in moments, and I'm always amazed at how she perfectly captures the emotions through a photo. I would highly recommend Marsha for any type of photography session. She has become our photographer for life. Thank you, Marsha for everything! Mike and I are so thankful for you!

From sticking by our side as we navigated through 2020, to photographing our elopement, to FINALLY capturing our wedding day, we could not be happier to have Marsha capture these special moments in our lives! Marsha is hands down the most professional, talented, sweetest and BEST photographer around. She captures all the details while keeping your vision in mind and creating beautiful, timeless and classic pictures. People always tell you when planning a wedding to find vendors you mesh well with, Marsha is that person. She makes you feel comfortable and is so easy going and takes the stress away! Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer who has turned into a friend! Can’t wait for her to continue to capture our special moments🧡

Marsha has given us the BEST wedding gift we could ever receive. She has given us the most gorgeous images that we will have for a lifetime. We cannot express our gratitude enough for the joy and happiness these images bring us! Marsha was so much more than a photographer to us! I knew from day one that she was IT !! From our very first conversation I could feel her warmth and genuine kindness shining through even the phone. We've had the pleasure of working with her for our engagement session, family & pups session, and now our wedding. Each time she has shown up with her professionalism and knowledge on how to get the most amazing shots. But her warmth and calm demeanor are what made us so comfortable and able to relax enough in our sessions! She has walked through every step of our wedding journey with us. Being a COVID bride had its heartbreaks. Marsha was there for every moment, always offering her encouragement and a positive spin on the situation. Her professional reputation, provides her with invaluable connections in the industry. She helped me book several more of my vendors. We are genuinely sad that our wedding journey with Marsha is over. But she has definitely become our lifetime photographer, because we just cannot say goodbye!! PLEASE look no further for your wedding photographer. Booking Marsha will be the best decision you ever make!!

Marsha is, hands down, THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER. This review is long overdue, but I really wanted to find time to cover every amazing thing about Marsha and her work. She is such a pleasure to work with. She’s so professional, fun and down-to-earth. From the day we booked her for our wedding, she has been nothing but sweet and supportive- making every photoshoot (engagement, wedding and family) such a fun, relaxing and positive experience for me and my family. She is a true artist who captures such memorable moments beautifully and with so much attention to detail; EVERY picture she takes is stunning. We couldn’t have had a more perfect photographer to capture our wedding day. Marsha has a true eye for photography, and she takes so much pride in her work. I highly recommend her to capture your wedding day and more!

Marsha works magic when she takes your pictures!✨ My fiancé and I felt very comfortable and had a lot of fun during our engagement shoot. Marsha was very sweet and had a lot of ideas throughout the shoot that made very beautiful photos. It was our first time having professional pictures done as a couple and it was beyond a perfect experience! She also got our photos back to us very fast! We will definitely be contacting Marsha again for future events! Definitely book her for your engagement, wedding, maternity, family, etc.! You will not be disappointed😊💛🧡

Marsha is hands down the best photographer! She’s the sweetest person and will help you any way she can to make your big day perfect! She has taken pictures for my surprise proposal, engagement and wedding and they are all absolutely gorgeous! She made all my dreams come true and went with all of my ideas even taking pictures in the snow! She is magic with a camera! She is AMAZING at what she does and captures your special moments perfectly. Marsha is the best investment I made for my wedding because now I get to relive our special day every time I look back at our pictures. She captured so many special moments with our friends and family that I will treasure forever. She is now my forever photographer and I can’t thank her enough for capturing all our special moments so perfectly!

All I can say is Marsha’s photos all around leave me breathless... I was going to wait to write this review until I got ALL my wedding photos, but between our engagement shoot and the sneak peek of our wedding...I can’t wait any longer! Marsha is the absolute, most amazing photographer. Not only is she the sweetest person you’ll ever meet but her work is STUNNING! She uses her heart in every photo and it’s obvious. Please, if you’re reading this...stop looking for a photographer, pick The Photegé. Marsha will not let you down.

Marsha is one of the BEST things to happen to me on my wedding journey. Not only is she incredibly professional, she is kind, sweet and genuinely has love and care for her clients. So far we have had the privilege of her capturing our engagement photos and a family pup session. She has such a natural gift and ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and assists you with posing. Not only are our photos stunning, her turn around time was incredible. Besides being a great photographer, Marsha has been incredibly helpful during our wedding planning journey. She has offered recommendations on florists, make up artists and videographers. She has great working relationships with many vendors and is extremely knowledgable on good recommendations. I cannot recommend Marsha enough, do not skimp on the investment of a photographer. Marsha is worth every penny and then some. I cannot wait to have her photograph our wedding!

Marsha was an absolute pleasure to work with! Her attention to detail is unmatched and most importantly, we enjoyed every minute of our entire session! She really made us feel at home in front of the camera and was there to capture all the little moments we didn't know could look so special. We are blown away by our engagement photos and are looking forward to what she will capture on our wedding day!

Marsha and her team were so awesome to work with! They made me and others feel super comfortable in front of the camera. She is worth every penny you spend on her! You’re not only getting a person to capture your pictures but behind the scenes Marsha goes beyond and above. She was so helpful with anything my family needed! I know she does this out of the kindness of her heart and to ease any worries the bride or groom may have. She’s all around just amazing! I love that I get to relive my wedding day through the pictures she took! She will forever be my go to photographer!

Marsha is phenomenal! Roy and I had such a great time during our engagement session. We are both very shy when it comes to getting our pictures taken, especially if we have to "pose", but Marsha made us feel comfortable and confident! She was also very accommodating; we had to reschedule twice. Also, I didn't have to bug her for our pictures because she had them ready, without having to ask! Overall, our pictures and our experience were great, and I can't wait for her to shoot our wedding pictures!

The best ever!!! 10 Stars!!! Marsha did my son’s Senior Pictures 2020 and they were all very beautiful. From the very first moment I contacted her she responded quickly and professionally answering all of our questions. We talked about what we liked and wanted, shared our ideas and she exceeded our expectations! She is quick to get your gallery together and ready for you. Photographing a high school senior that has been quarantine was not an easy task and she certainly made this experience so much fun for him. In his own words “mom, these pictures are soooo cool, I really like them” . I really like them too. I’m so happy we found the very best and I promise, you too will be glad she captured your special day!

Marsha has been taking our Mommy and Me photos since 2012. When it was time to tie the knot in 2020, I didn’t hesitate to call her. I knew that I wanted to have Marsha capture one of the best days of our lives, so I booked my photographer, before even scouting a venue. She is sweet, funny, and flexible, all while remaining professional. Her honesty is genuine and she wants the best of what you aim to achieve. If you don’t know it, she’ll guide you there. She makes things fun and comfortable for everyone. I adore her and you will, too!

Marsha Walker shot my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding and I have nothing but high praise for every interaction we had with her from our first phone call, to the wedding reception, to receiving her finished photos. She was very reliable, extremely easy to work with, excellent to communicate with, and we could not been happier with how all the wedding day photos turned out. We loved Marsha’s creativity with some of the shots that perfectly captured the bride & grooms unique personalities. Both family & the bridal party commented on how wonderful Marsha (and her 2nd photo shooter) were but most importantly, Marsha’s relaxed & friendly personality helped the normally “camera-shy” bride & groom feel so comfortable that she was able to capture every posed and candid moment perfectly. We were thrilled when we quickly received many of the unedited pictures right after the wedding and all of the wedding photos were shared with us in an extremely timely manner. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed if you choose Marsha Walker of Protege Photography to shoot your occasion. She is absolutely the best!

Working with Marsha was a dream. She understood our vision and captured it perfectly. She became my go to person when I felt crazy. She is one of the sweetest and most professional photographers I have ever worked with. Even after our wedding was done and she was onto the next one.... she still always made me feel important. I don’t think I could ever say enough about her. Not only did we get an amazing photographer but we gained a genuine friend.

Marsha is amazing!!! Picking the right photographer was one of the most important for us since pictures/videos are what you have left from your special day. I had narrowed my search down to just a few but after speaking to Marsha on the phone, the search was over. I instantly knew I wanted her to be our wedding photographer. Not only is her work AMAZING, she is the sweetest. She made us feel so at ease and comfortable. She was always there when I would call/text her. She even had recommendations for other vendors we were still searching for!! She was always there with any questions we had all the way to our wedding day. Not only is she the sweetest person, her work is outstanding. We can truly say that we love every single one of our wedding pictures and these are things we will cherish forever. We can’t thank Marsha enough and 1000% recommend her. You won’t regret it. Jeff & Shiva Clark

Marsha is absolutely amazing! When we began our search we sat down with a few photographers, someone recommended we reach out to Marsha. We did exactly that and I’m so grateful we did! I told my fiancé I wanted her to be our photographer immediately after I spoke with her. I reached out to her and she got back to me within an hour. She was extremely personable and sweet, something about our conversation made me feel like we were already the best of friends. I was a bit nervous going into the engagement session but as soon as the session started the nervousness went away, I don’t think I’ve ever been that comfortable in front of a camera. She also made my daughter feel like a princess! I appreciate her professionalism and her beautiful spirit, our family has definitely found our ‘forever’ photographer! I can’t wait to work with her again in the future.

Marsha is just lovely! ! After inquiring, she was in contact with me within the hour (not something I experienced with other photographers we had inquired with while still on the hunt)! What really sold me was the fact that when looking through her galleries, she didn’t miss a beat! It was like she never took her eye away from the viewfinder of her camera all day! From the details, to first looks, to the ceremony photos, portraits, and reception, there wasn’t a single missing shot! SHE WAS CONSISTENT! We knew we needed to meet her, and after chatting with her, we booked her on the spot! We just took our engagement photos with her last week (got them back within the week!) and it was the best experience I have ever had with a photographer. She was personable and so much fun, but her outgoing personality surely does not take away from her punctuality and professionalism! Marsha is flexible and willing to work with you in order to make everything about your special day perfect and seamless. We couldn’t be more pleased with her, and we cannot stop raving about her and our experience with her to everyone we know! I would highly recommend her to anyone! She’s a gem!

Marsha is an amazing photographer to work with. She is professional and flexible as well. She will provide guidelines if you feel lost, which for us made it so much easier. She also has the best personality, She allows you to be yourself, which In return you get the best pictures. Adding to all these amazing qualities, she will also capture every important detail from your big day. This was highly important for me and she gave us that. She allowed us to relive the best day of our lives.

I absolutely adore Marsha! She is such a gem to work with and she was extremely flexible with my crazy work schedule. She went above and beyond what was expected and even provided us with sneak peeks within 5 days of our wedding day! She is crazy good, y'all. Everyone hire her!!!!!

Was fortunate to have Marsha join us on a week long engagement photo session covering our favorite east coast cities. Her professionalism and friendly personality made the this adventure truly enjoyable no matter what the weather had in store for us or how many times i got us lost in NYC. Easy to work with, great communication, and the pictures she produced speak for themselves. Highly recommend her and i look forward to have her capture our upcoming wedding.

The first time I used Marsha, was for my Senior Pictures and she did amazing! So, it was a no brainer that when I was getting married, she would be my photographer! Marsha is meticulous, listens to your vision, and makes it exceed every expectation that you have. All I have left of my wedding day is the moments that Marsha was able to capture, and EVERY TIME I look back at them, I am able to relive that day through her pictures. You will honestly not be disappointed! She is my forever photographer!

Marsha was phenomenal to work with. I searched and searched for a wedding photographer for months. When I initially came across Marsha she was booked for the date we had set in our minds... I was so discouraged because after seeing her AMAZING work via Instagram I knew she was the photographer we had been looking for! Needless to say, God works in mysterious ways. The venue we were looking into also happened to be booked the same weekend that Marsha was... When we chose a different date I immediately contacted Marsha and she was AVAILABLE!! Working with her was the absolute BEST choice we could have made. She reassured both my husband (fiance at the time) and I of how a wedding works, gave us advice on vendors, scheduling, etc. She is such a welcoming and calming person to be around. She made taking pictures FUN and so relaxing! ALL of our photos turned out to be absolutely STUNNING!! We are so in love with both our engagement and wedding photos!! I STRONGLY suggest using Marsha for ANY of your photo needs! We will definitely be booking with her again :)

Marsha shot my wedding August 2010 and the pictures were phenomenal. When I first met Marsha, she really took the time to get to know me. It was clear that she wanted to give me exactly what I wanted, which is really important in a photographer. Having my wedding on the top of Nob Hill in San Francisco, I really wanted the obligatory cable car shot, which wasn't easy to get due to bad timing and RUDE cable car conductors! But she wouldn't give up until she got me that shot because she knew how much it meant to me. Beyond the quality of her work, she really added to the whole magic of the day and it was so much fun getting to know her. I highly recommend her work!

Marsha is amazing!!!!! I first met her when I was coordinating a wedding at a venue I used to work at. I loved the way she worked with the bride, groom, and the whole family. She never showed stress! I knew in that moment I wanted her as my photographer for my wedding. Fast forward 3 years later and there she was by my side on the biggest day of my life! I told her what I wanted and she captured it plus more! To this day she is my go to photographer and a very sweet friend!

If you need a photographer, Marsha should be your girl! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. Aside from being an amazing photographer, she is a wonderful person. She made us feel so comfortable and she is willing to try anything to get you the perfect shot! She listened to everything we wanted and then didn’t just deliver, she exceeded all of our expectations! Thank you for capturing our special day!

Marsha is amazing. We were blessed to have had her do our engagement/family photos. She is so patient and does not make you feel rushed. She’s makes it fun and always has a smile on her face. All of our pics turned out great. It was so hard to choose the best. She has a wide range of packages which makes it nice. I would highly recommend her and I can’t wait for her to take our wedding photos.

Marsha is amazing!! The photographer was the biggest choice that I made for our wedding,other than the venue. I had met with other people before I met Marsha. Once I met her, I knew she was the one for us. She was so inviting and calm. Her work is amazing and it was exactly what I love. She took her time with us showing as many pictures as we wanted. Marsha would even take the time to meet with me to go over clothing options. She would respond to my text and calls all the time. I felt like I had too many questions but she didn't mind. She made us feel calm when it was time to take pictures. We would play music and it was great! When it came to the wedding day, seeing her made me relax. She was like another friend/family member there with us. She really builds that relationship with you. Our pictures are wonderful and I look at them everyday. I cannot wait to work with her again in the future. Thank you so much Marsha! You truly made our engagement and wedding such a magical experience. Love, Mark and Amy Macanas

It was an absolute privilege to have Marsha as our wedding photographer. We've had the honor having Marsha shoot for us on three different occasions, and she captured the best days of our lives perfectly. I was in a search of a photographer in Bakersfield(a city that I wasn't familiar with), in hopes that they could secretly capture the moment I proposed to my then girlfriend Lupe. After speaking with Marsha on the phone, I knew I was making the right choice. From the very beginning, she took the time to listen to my ideas, and with her added creativity, she helped me make my vision a reality. For our engagement shoot, Marsha really demonstrated her creativity and used the urban downtown Fresno area as our backdrop. Every shot and every post was absolutely perfect. Marsha topped it off with our wedding. We can honestly say they there isn't photo that we didn't like. Every single one was absolutely beautiful. Not only are the moments she captured beautifully, but the lighting and clarity in every single photo are perfect. Marsha is a true professional. It is easy to see that Marsha loves what she does. She brings creative ideas and a lot of experience to the table. Lupe & Jorge Juarez

We worked with Marsha for our Wedding and Engagement pictures and it was the best decision that we made! Marsha is so knowledgeable in all areas of photography and she helped guide us through each experience. She truly cares about her clients. We felt very fortunate that she was available for the date of our wedding and I will recommend her to everyone I know!

Marsha came highly recommended by one of her peers and she did not disappoint. She made everyone feel comfortable and did a great job on our engagement & wedding photos which included two infants. If you're looking for a great photog, look no further.
