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!

Wilmington, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200

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 was absolutely amazing! She truly exceeded our expectations. She came fully prepared with a shot list and easily worked around some hiccups we had along the way. Our teaser photos turned out amazing and we can’t wait to see the rest. I cannot recommend her enough!

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.

OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.

We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience

We are endlessly grateful for the way she has captured our journey, and for the care and passion she pours into every session and every edited photo. If you’re looking for a photographer who becomes part of your story, in the best possible way, I would without a doubt, choose Cece a million times over. She is truly exceptional, and we recommend her with all our hearts.

This photography team is absolutely unmatched. They photographed our engagement session which blew us out of the water. We were completely unprepared for how phenomenal those photographs came out. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and are the warmest, kindest people. Leading up to our wedding Alli became a trusted friend and someone I turned to for wedding style and aesthetic questions. By the time our wedding came around we were so comfortable around the team and felt so comfortable in front of their lenses. We have the most stunning catalogue of images from our wedding. They captured every photograph that I asked them too, and went above and beyond to capture those that I didn’t even know I needed. I cannot recommend them enough. Our wedding photos have brought our little family so much joy. You will have zero regrets working with this amazing team

Hi, I'm Hannah! I’m a Greenville, SC wedding photographer, available for weddings throughout the Carolinas, Georgia, and beyond. I love soft light, rich color, timeless edits, happy tears, a focus on the little details, and couples who are really, really into each other.

I'm a wedding coordinator, and working with Hannah was SUCH a dream. She was responsive, extremely kind, helpful, and totally on top of her game at the wedding we worked together. I didn't have to worry if she was on time or ready for the next event - she was always there, ready and smiling! Her pictures were also perfect - the editing was just what the couple wanted, and she returned them quickly. Highly recommend her!
