If you have the opportunity to work with Maria we recommend you take that chance while you’ve got it. She is an AMAZING photographer, fun to work with, and is so thoughtful/ helpful during the planning journey. We’ve already had a friend say they’d hit her up if they get married because they loved our experience and photos so much. 10000% could not recommend her enough. When we were looking for a wedding and engagement photographer we wanted someone who was creative in their shots, had crystal clear photo quality, and had a true to life/vibrant photography style - and Maria was the perfect fit! We had a phone consultation where she asked thoughtful questions to get to know us as a couple but also helped asked things related to photography to help us communicate our desires and ensure she was the right fit. Maria wants her couples to have the dreamiest day and I loved how intentional she was with helping us communicate our vision - she’s the pro and knew exactly what to ask to get us thinking! We were immediately obsessed and left in awe at some sample galleries, so we signed right away. When it came time for our engagement photos we had this super fun pre-shoot questionnaire that once again consisted of thoughtful questions (our planner was SO impressed with them), such as if there were any specific shots we wanted or our comfort level with photos. My now husband and I sat down with wine and went through the questions together, so that itself was a fun planning experience. We’re not the most comfortable in front the camera so it was cool to feel seen and have her understand us before we arrived to the shoot. And let me tell you we had the BEST time! We felt comfortable so quickly and the shoot flew by. The photos turned out AMAZING and we got even more excited for the wedding. Before the wedding we had a questionnaire to go over our desires for the wedding (and even had a chance to put secret info if you had any surprises for people or just wanted her to be aware of certain family dynamics you don’t want widely disseminated). On our wedding day Maria even handled a situation for us when we asked for help and she was the most discreet and professional and got us taken care of. We just got our full gallery back and the photos are the dreamiest - incredible sunset photos, creative and thoughtful detail shots, and excellent photos of our guests. The gallery captures our day perfectly and is everything and more than we could have asked for. Maria is timely, talented, professional, a cool person, and is someone we’d hire again in a heartbeat. Plus, she’s always down for an adventure so if you want to travel I’m sure she’ll be happy to meet you there and help make your photography dreams come true. We will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever. All photos credited to Maria at MTD Photo Co.

Joe and Ashley are the best photography team out there!!! We chose them as our wedding photographers, and it was the best decision I've ever made. From start to finish, they made the process so easy - with phone calls to discuss details and answer ALL of my questions, super fast responses over email, and then seamless photo-taking on the day of! They were so fun to be around too, and made everyone feel at ease - even my now-husband, who doesn't love getting his picture taken. The photos themselves are to DIE for - we received the sneak peek on Thursday (our wedding was Sunday 5/24), and I was FLOORED. They turned out even better than I imagined, and all of our family and friends have been raving about them. We're so excited for the full gallery, which I know will be just as amazing as the preview!

Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha).

She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned.

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.

I have NEVER been comfortable being photographed, let alone professionally. We chose Anna Marie Photography for both our engagement and wedding photos, and she did not disappoint! She is truly magic. She made us feel SO comfortable, made the experience so fun and easy, and delivered the most beautiful galleries. I would get married over and over just to have her photograph us. She felt more like a friend to us than a wedding vendor, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted and more. I couldn’t recommend her more!

As a wedding, engagement, and lifestyle photographer, I have spent the last two decades mastering the art of visual storytelling.

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.

Mae Krell Photo was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Mae was incredibly thorough and took the time to get to know us and our vision for the day. She asked thoughtful questions and used a variety of communication methods like email, Zoom calls, and text messages to keep us informed and make the process seamless. On the day of the wedding, Mae's positive and calming presence was exactly what we needed when things didn't go exactly as planned. Her creativity and talent shone through, as she captured so many special moments we didn't even realize were happening. The final photos are absolute perfection - precise, organized, and beyond excellent. I am thrilled that Mae was our photographer and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Erin Jay Wedding Photography earned our recommendation. Erin’s prompt communication from the beginning was invaluable. Despite being directly affected by the devastation caused by hurricane Helene, Erin made sure to stay in communication and even traveled to Knoxville, TN from Asheville, NC to capture our wedding. There are no words for that kind of dedication. She truly cares about what she does. There was a lot going on in a short amount of time, but Erin was steady, calm and managed to get some truly beautiful photos of us, the scenery and friends and family.
