Valerie was amazing to work with! She photographed our wedding and was so kind and detail oriented. The photos came out great, and she was more than happy to adjust some of the editing for us when we asked! We even purchased the package that included scrapbooks and we procrastinated following up with it, but over a year later she was still eager to make them for us and hand delivered them to our door with the sweetest note and goodies. Anybody would be lucky to work with her!!

The BEST DAY OF YOUR Life! Your wedding day is so special; you might never have all the people that you love all together ever again. The day goes by so quickly that you don’t get to appreciate all the precious details you spent months planning. My goal as your photographer is to preserve the memories and details of your special day so you can re-live and share them for generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mercy is amazing! She came to our home to take newborn photos, and didn’t rush us, and let me take time to feed our new baby in the middle of the session so he would calm down and be settled for pictures. She got us sneak peeks about a week later and the whole gallery a couple weeks after that! She was helpful suggesting different poses and working with the inspiration pics I had sent her before hand. She is also so sweet to be around and made us feel super comforting while taking pictures, I highly recommend Mercy !!

Documenting life's most incredible moments for future generations, while going above and beyond to capture elegant, unique, and timeless images. From the moment you say "Yes" to the day you say, "I Do", I will be right there with you, every step of the way, collaborating with you in capturing the most beautiful and keepsake imagery.

Kelly at K's Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was extremely efficient, responsive, and took the time to listen to all of our wants and needs. As a true perfectionist, Kelly studied our venue and wedding style, researching poses and ideas to ensure our photos were absolutely perfect. Given that we had a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic, Kelly went above and beyond - she booked her own travel, researched how to get all of her camera gear on the plane, and even spent time scouting the location ahead of time to prepare. Kelly really took the time to get to know us and our families, which helped her capture the true essence of our special day. The quality of her work is unmatched, and the photos will be treasured for a lifetime. Kelly has a beautiful studio where we were able to view all of the stunning images in a comfortable setting. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer or a more positive experience for our once-in-a-lifetime event.

Maddie & Hannah flew to Connecticut to photograph my wedding. They were the MVPs of my day. They truly made sure I had every single thing I needed throughout the day. They jumped in and helped create my DIY bouquets, picked up McDonalds for the entire bridal party, made sure all of my belongings made it back to my hotel room, and even cleaned my wedding earrings. Maddie and Hannah moved my morning along seamlessly and I don't think I would have gotten through the day without them. It took about 3 days to get my photos back and they were STUNNING. We took moody flash photos in my castle venue and we are seriously obsessed. I received so many compliments on my photos! All friends and family also commented on how EASY it was to work with Maddie and Hannah. You cannot go wrong booking them for your wedding or event. They are gems of humans. Love them!!!

Hello! While I have always had a passion for photography it wasn't until 2012 that I realized how much I TRULY loved it. My husband handed me a DSLR camera and I started calling on my friends to do photoshoots. Next thing I knew, Markina B. Photography was born and it's been going ever since. What I love about being a photographer is that I get to see emotions, expressions, memories and joy-fullness through my lens. I get to capture and create art out of it for my clients to hang on their walls or to give as a gift. Photography is my true passion in life and I will never not love it.

Markina is absolutely amazing in every way! My (now) husband and I met with Markina to discuss engagement and wedding photography, which is something that we were extremely anxious about because we wanted the best! After our initial conversation with Markina, we immediately knew she was the one! Markina helped us with our timeline, setting up our photo lists, and she took the most amazing pictures!! My husband and I are normally not very comfortable in front of a camera, but Markina made us feel completely at ease. She guided us through each pose and kept everything moving smoothly. We are so pleased each time we work with her. Markina’s positive nature and flexibility in her work make her the best photographer to work with. I recommend Markina B. Photography to everyone!
