MONTAUK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | TESS + JOHN

I’m kind of in love with summer and have been that way ever since I was a little girl and it’s something that I don’t anticipate will ever change.  I love the feeling summer, the energy, the longer hours of sunshine, the clang of ice cream trucks, the sounds of children free from school playing outside until dusk and the fireflies that float about in an evening sky.  I love colorful sunsets on the water, hot sand between my toes, coconut popsicles, swimming in the waves of the salty ocean, and the smell Banana Boat sunblock.  I love it all.  So having the opportunity to shoot an outdoor day wedding in the summer is my absolute FAVORITE.  The light, the breeze, the details, the feel – it’s all simply magical and I would shoot outdoor weddings every day if I could – even in the 105 degree heat we’ve had in the Northeast this summer.  I love it THAT much.

Tess and John, who you might remember from their Boston engagement photos, got married on a GORGEOUSLY HOT day in July at the Montauk Manor and I had an absolute blast documenting and being a part of their special day.  The bride and groom are so completely wonderful and were full of such infectious delight that I hardly even noticed the 105 degree heat.  For real.  Their adoring family and friends that surrounded them were just as joyful and wonderful as Tess and John and their day burst out them seems with love and emotion, making me feel lucky to be among this group of people, documenting such a day.

I know that Mr. and Mrs. P are going to be deliriously happy together and I am so honored to have been a part of the start of something so wonderful.

Wishing you a lifetime of all the love, laughter, and joy you both so richly deserve!

With love + appreciation,

Maggie

THE MILL | NEW JERSEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | SORA + SEAN

It’s no secret that I’m in love with love.  And, there a certain people that love in a way that makes me stop in my tracks – it’s that kind of love that simply stands apart on its own and fills the heart of the observer with a fullness and joy that cannot be described.  Sora and Sean have such a love and I cannot express what a privilege and honor it has been to be able to witness and be around such a love of such extraordinary people for the past year.

Sora and Sean are two of the most special and most thoughtful people I’ve ever met.  Hands down. They are unbelievably genuine and pure and they embraced me and made me feel like a part of their family from the very first time I met them.  There are certain people you meet that touch your life and make it better simply by being in it and Sora and Sean are those kind of people.  They are an absolute gift and I am so grateful to have had them come into my life as clients and friends.

The adorable duo tied the knot on a hot, but unbelievably beautiful day at the Mill in Spring Lake, New Jersey, and I couldn’t have been happier to be a part of and document this day for them.  Throughout the entire day, Sora and Sean beamed from ear to ear so much so that I’m pretty sure they  just have permagrins, otherwise it wouldn’t have been possible to smile so much.  Everything was an absolute delight and I am so very happy for this perfect pair.  I know their lives together are going to be filled with unbelievable love and joy and I’m just delighted to have been a part of the start of it.

Congratulations Sora and Sean!  Wishing you a lifetime of all the love, joy, and laughter you’ve brought to my life and every life you touch!

With love + appreciation,

Maggie

Maggieeeee!!! We are SO amazed by these photos and your talent!! Thank you so much for capturing our day — every emotion, every part, every guest (we had 280!), and every joy of the whole day. These photos are priceless and we will remember that day because of the work that you’ve done! We still can’t believe you took that many photos w/just 2 cameras. How?? You took just the right photos at the right time and place! You’re amazing!!

Maggie, You are now a part of our extended family (especially now that you’ve met all of them! haha) And we’re so thankful to have met not just a photographer but an amazing person like you. Kam-sa-hab-ni-da! :)

NEW YORK ATHLETIC CLUB WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | MARY + JIMMY

Mary and Jimmy, who you might remember from their New York City Garden Engagement Session, tied the knot at the New York Athletic Club of the City of New York on a beautiful day in June and everything could not have been more perfect.   The lovely bride and groom were simply aglow.  all. day. long.  and it was such a pleasure to document.

The lovely bride wore an absolutely stunning gown, designed especially for her by the uber talented American designer, Peter Sorenen, who’s designed amazing gowns for our First Lady, as well as the lovely Sarah Jessica Parker.  And, wow, was it ever incredible!  The ivory gown had such a rich, timeless beauty about it and the bride-to-be was an absolute vision – so much so that her future husband’s mouth literally dropped in awe when he saw her for the first time.  It was so sweet.  And I have the pictures to prove it! :)

I feel like the luckiest girl to be able to document love and I’m so grateful to Mary and Jimmy for inviting me to be part of their lives on their special day.  Wishing you both a lifetime of continued laughter and love!

With love and hugs,

Maggie

I would imagine that couples like this – beautiful from the inside out – are a gift for any photographer, but you’ve certainly taken that gift and made it extraordinary! Wonderful pictures. I am reminded of classic photographs of Barbara Goalen. Amazing.

I’m obsessed with this wedding… So GORGEOUS!!!

Mary

Maggie, Thank you for capturing the magic of our wedding day. We will cherish these photos forever. xo Mary and Jimmy

1950′s CUBAN INSPIRED GARDEN WEDDING | LISETTE + JOSE

I’m not going to lie, I kind of love wedding themes.  No, no.  Think tiny details that go beyond color schemes and are full of do-it-yourself touches, not an Elvis and Priscilla in Graceland bride and groom.  I mean, really, Internet, have a little faith. So when Lisette got in touch with me and mentioned a 1950′s Cuban inspired garden wedding, you can imagine my response. Um,  yes, please!  Just hearing about their day made me look forward to being a part of it, but finally meeting the wonderful Lisette and Jose in person, made me even more thrilled to have the opportunity to do what I love for such lovely people.

Lisette and Jose are such an incredibly sweet pair and it made me smile to see them soak up every moment of their day to the fullest.  Let me tell you, this couple burned up the dance floor, my friends.  I was thoroughly impressed and found it difficult not to dance along with everyone as I snapped my shutter across the dance floor.  Not only are Jose and Lisette complete sweethearts, but their family and friends could not have been more warm or welcoming to the only non-Cuban girl in the room. ;)  I can’t say what a privilege it was to document the special day of such a fabulous couple.  Lisette and Jose, wishing you a lifetime of smiles!

Love + Hugs,

Maggie
