Awarded Best of Zola
We could not be happier with our experience with Maria from MTD Photo Co. She photographed our entire wedding weekend, including our welcome party and the full wedding day, and truly exceeded every expectation. Maria was professional, warm, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We were blown away by how quickly everything was delivered — we received a sneak peek gallery within a week of the wedding and our full gallery just one month later. Every single photo is absolutely beautiful, and we are genuinely in awe of her work. She captured the emotions, the details, and all the special moments so perfectly. Her second photographer, Jackson, was equally wonderful — incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the entire weekend. Together, they made us feel comfortable and confident, and it truly shows in the photos. We are so grateful to have these memories so beautifully documented and cannot recommend Maria and MTD Photo Co. highly enough.

As a wife and recent Bride, I constantly look back at my wedding day gallery from my photographer. I would say at least once every couple of months! What I love about my wedding photos is that I can remember the day just by looking at those photos. I want that for YOU!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashlyn & her team are absolute rockstars! They were a true highlight of my day and went above and beyond to help in any way possible and make everything stress-free and fun. We had an outdoor wedding and it was a very windy day and her and the team would help out in moments that weren’t even their responsibility. She had amazing communication leading up to the wedding, during the day, and afterwards. She delivered our photos quickly and posted the most amazing content leading up to the gallery delivery. She also made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured a lot of cute candids that are so special to see after the day is over. I cannot recommend Sea Shea enough. This is a vendor I truly could not have lived without! Not only are the photos 10/10 amazing but the experience of working with someone who really cares about your day and takes the time to get to know you makes all the difference. I felt a connection to her and the team and they saved my windy chaotic wedding day! You can tell they love what they do by how much fun they exude and the photos that they deliver.

Hi, my name is Malia! I am a photographer based in Wilmington, NC. I specialize in Weddings, families and newborns. I have always been passionate about photography and I started when I was young with a little camera my mom got me from a thrift store and just grown from there. Since then, I have worked with other photographers and my mother who owns a wedding rental company so I know my way around weddings. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me exploring with my little family!

Malia possesses an incredible talent for blending into the background while capturing the most beautiful and raw moments of our special day. Reviewing our wedding album felt like experiencing the entire event again; each photo perfectly conveyed the emotions and memories I felt on my special day. Her ability to capture candid moments discreetly is truly remarkable. Throughout the wedding and reception, I hardly noticed her presence, yet the photos she captured were nothing short of magical. Malia has an exceptional eye and mad dog editing skills! Although I hope to never marry again, I can confidently say that I would choose Malia for any future photography needs. If you're seeking a photographer who not only takes breathtaking photos but also understands the significance of capturing genuine moments, look no further than Malia.

Awarded Best of Zola
We’ve been using Justina as our photographer since we got engaged. I knew she was featured at the best family photographer in Wilmington, and even before kids, I loved her style so much that I knew I just had to have her! She has been capturing moments for our family for the past 4 years, and I always recommend her to everyone I talk to (although hesitantly - sometimes I selfishly want to keep her all to myself). I couldn’t imagine a better photographer for our wedding. She accommodated every single request, knew what I needed before I even knew what I wanted, and sometimes has few a secret spots up her sleeve. She had a vision that exceeded my expectations, all while capturing all of my requests - every single time. I cherish all of the sweet moments she was able to capture, including the precious time with my mother getting dressed, the first look with my husband, the tears in my eyes as we read our vows, my bridesmaids bowing their heads during prayer, my uncle choking up as he expressed how words cannot describe how much we miss my father, the pure bliss displayed by my mother-in-law as she danced with my husband, not to mention all the surprises I didn’t notice until viewing the photos - our friends on the dance floor, the kids who made funny faces during dinner, the friends who passed out on chairs because they didn’t want to miss out on the fun. I could go on and on. These things don’t happen by accident, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

It’s life’s simple moments that really get me inspired. Endless sun soaked walks with my pup Ollie + husband Michael, thrifting, vegging out on the beach until I've lost track of time, coffee shops with pals, testing out a new vegan recipe, or sharing a glass of wine with the people that I love. I live for the small, slow, nostalgic moments. Growing up, I was a quiet observer, always dreaming and creating. My desire to photograph + document grew so organically, and now I'm lucky enough to say that I have been photographing professionally for nine years, and truly never see myself stopping.

Meagan Forbes Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Meagan and her team were friendly, easy-going, and had a great sense of humor that immediately put us at ease.
