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!

  • Photojournalistic style

Congratulations!! What an exciting time in your life! I am truly honored that you have taken then time to consider me as your wedding photographer. Here's some fun facts about me... I am obsessed with sunsets, pickles are my favorite food, and espresso and tequila are my favorite drinks! I'm a mom of 3 teenagers, I have photographed a living president, and I've always lived close to water, but the mountains are my favorite place! Frank Sinatra is my favorite singer, I've acted in a movie, and I've watched every Marvel movie in chronological order. My biggest bucket list item is to travel the world and photograph in other countries!

Terah Hoobler Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, Terah was personable, knowledgeable, and professional. She took the time beforehand to discuss her plans for the day so there were no surprises, and made sure she knew every shot we wanted captured on our wedding day. Terah's attention to detail and creative eye resulted in the most beautiful photos of our wedding and my bridal portraits. The best photographers are worth giving a good portion of your budget to, and Terah is worth every penny! We are thrilled with the final results and couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Hey there! I’m Bri, a wedding and couples photographer serving Wilmington, NC, the East Coast, and beyond. I document love stories on both digital and film, weaving in 35mm, medium format, Polaroids, and even Super 8 to create images that feel timeless and textured. My approach is rooted in storytelling, capturing the candid, unscripted moments alongside intentional editorial portraits so your photos feel both natural and artful. If you’re looking for a calming, collaborative photographer who captures the depth of your connection, not just pretty pictures, I’d love to start dreaming up your day together.

I hope at the end of reading this review, your heart is beaming with joy and excitement knowing that this is THE person who can capture those special moments you want to look back on years down the road. Long story short - CA girl moves to OH. My love and I created a home. Bri is now family. I knew all I had to do was have an Americano ready and outfits laid out. In seconds we were laughing and rollin. Bri captured the warm light that pours through the blinds of our big loft windows so magically. Her energy is genuine and calming. I loved that her style was more candid and authentic than structured because as Austin and I sipped coffee, danced around and loved each other, she was capturing those moments most dream about – the butterfly smiles, the gestures sometimes you think only you two notice, the kisses given that make your heart full. What I didn't truly realize, was how important it is to have photographer that makes you feel comfortable. This is a person seeing the most intimate, important moments of your life and I couldn't imagine anyone else being behind the lens capturing those other than Bri. I feel so fortunate to share some big life moments with Bri and can't recommend her enough. We love her and know you will too!!

  • Photojournalistic style

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. On the day of the wedding, they seamlessly blended into the background and captured incredible, natural-looking photos that truly reflected the casual yet special vibe we were going for. All of our friends have been raving about how amazing the photos turned out - Meagan has an incredible eye for detail and the ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We could not be happier with the value and quality of service we received, and highly recommend Meagan Forbes Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer.

I’ve known Ali outside of her photography career and when I was starting to plan out things for my wedding I didn’t hesitate to reach to her for her to be my photographer/wedding helper. Her personality and work ethic spoke for themselves. I hadn’t seen her photography work before booking with her, and that’s how much trust I had in her and her expertise as a wedding photographer. Our engagement shoot with her was flawless and her patience was greatly appreciated. We had no idea what to expect but her many years of photography experience definitely helped our nervous jitters. She cued us on specific positions and things to talk about so that she could capture the perfect moments. Oh and she was great with the fur babies, they were doing their best but she helped us out with their quirks. 10/10 recommend Ali for your photography needs…I’m very excited for our wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I could write a whole detailed review just on my engagement shoot. I’ll save you all the time and focus on my wedding, but they went above and beyond, spent the whole day with us, and gave us such stunning engagement shoot pictures! We had three people on our photo and video team (two taking photos and one switching between photo and video), Allie, Josh, and Euclid. They were absolutely amazing and have honestly become friends at this point. They make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and bring such good energy to the day. We ran about an hour behind schedule, and while I felt we had to rush because of that, it was completely to no fault of theirs. They handled it so professionally and with such grace that they somehow managed to bust out all the photos we needed and get us back on track. I had wanted a relaxed, candid feel, but because we were short on time, it ended up being more structured. Still, they made sure to capture all the in-between moments while getting every important posed shot we wanted. I wasn’t sure if I felt we would have everything we were looking for because of the time constraint, but once we got the photo gallery back I was STUNNED. I don’t think I could have asked for more or better pictures! It was everything I could have imagined and better even while running behind!! They are true professionals and people wranglers. We had a big wedding party and my husband has a large family, but they were so organized and on top of everything that we actually finished family portraits early and made it to cocktail hour ahead of schedule. Alli was such a calming presence throughout the day. When I started to stress about running behind, she reassured me that we had plenty of time and helped me breathe and refocus. Even when we realized a few shots were missing due to time constraints, they quickly pulled us aside after family photos to make sure we got them done. They run like clockwork. They know exactly what needs to get done, how to make it happen efficiently, and how to make everything look effortless. Anytime I needed something, they were right there, even carrying my chapstick around for me. All of this AND we got our ENTIRE GALLERY less than a month after our wedding!! This team is incredibly talented, organized, and kind. I’m so grateful to have had them on such an important day.

My husband and I got married in September in Providence, RI. I knew I wanted a photographer that was bright and colorful because of the venue and vibe of the day. I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to find someone and would need to settle because I planned our wedding in 4 months. The original photographer I reached out to was not available and gave me Maria’s information. I was excited that she had the availability on such short notice, but once we had our first call with her I knew we had made the right decision and the day was going to be a blast. Communication up to our wedding was precise and clear. When the day came, it felt like we had known Maria and Jackson our entire lives. It was like hanging out with some of our closest friends. They made sure we got all the shots that we wanted, but also still enjoyed every second of the day. We did do a first look so it helped with picture timing but what was considered our cocktail hour (the entire night was cocktail style) they followed us around and took candida and groups when necessary. It was perfect. Not once did we feel like we had taken too many pictures. We got married on a rooftop but they also made sure that we had shots in the city streets and a large variety of locations. When we got our sneak peaks I was truly speechless (and ugly crying). I was absolutely blown away by how PERFECTLY they had captured our day. You could feel the joy radiating from the photos and the colors and clarity was unbelievable. I am still speechless and in awe of how amazing our pictures came out. Our day was absolutely perfect but Maria and Jackson for sure made it memorable with the most breathtaking pictures. They truly tell a story and how fun the entire night was. I look at the photos constantly and I don’t foresee that stopping anytime soon. We get SO many compliments from people about how beautiful they are and everyone asks who the photographer was. I 100000% recommend MTD Photo. Hands down one of the best decisions we could’ve made for the day.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

We had a great experience with Mae! She made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole shoot and made sure we got a bunch of great photos in some gorgeous locations. Post-shoot she put in so much effort editing our photos to make sure they were perfect once they were turned around to us which didn't take long at all. Highly highly recommend Mae for any photoshoot needs you might have!
