    The absolute best

    I don't ever write reviews but I knew I had to figure out how to for Mayah. She was there for me and my husband from the very beginning - from the proposal to the engagement shoot to the big day (and rehearsal dinner). I couldn't imagine going through my bridal era without her and I'm beyond grateful for her. For the sake of not exceeding the word count, I'll focus on the wedding weekend. She came to my rehearsal (which was just us & family & wedding party) and basically acted as a planner. She walked through the entire next day with us while capturing all the best shots. I went to bed that night feeling completely ready because of her. On the wedding day, she walked into my suite and I instantly felt a weight off my chest. The next few hours of photos were so fun, she had the entire bridal party giggling and singing. I got to live in the moment at every turn because I had complete faith that she was taking amazing pictures. Her eye for details and the way she brings her visions to life is mind blowing. I also have to note that my hair fell out after the ceremony when we took my veil out and she completely fixed it and no one could tell... who else's photographer is doing that?!? All that to say I don't think it gets better than Mayah. As I wait for the rest of my gallery it's hit me that our time with her is over, but I have so many memories to cherish and I plan to work with her again in the future. I couldn't imagine letting anyone us capture my special moments. ILY forever Mayah!!!

    Simply the best photographer

    We booked her for our June 2026 wedding, and from the moment we met during our engagement photos, we felt completely comfortable in front of her camera. She has such a genuine way of connecting with people that every session felt effortless and fun. On our wedding day, she went so far beyond taking beautiful photos. She kept us on schedule, helped brainstorm a solution when my dress needed a quick fix, placed my veil perfectly before key moments, and even stayed late so we could capture photos in my second dress. She was photographer, coordinator, problem-solver, and cheerleader all in one. Going above and beyond isn’t something she does occasionally—it’s simply who she is. Bare minimum is not in this woman’s vocabulary. It takes someone truly special to build a meaningful connection with every couple, and that connection shines through in every single photo she delivers. Looking through our gallery, we don’t just see beautiful images—we relive exactly how each moment felt. Booking Mayah was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you’re considering her or anyone on her team, don’t hesitate. It’s an investment you’ll be grateful you made for years to come.

    Mayah was the absolute best!!!

    Mayah was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish! She was one of the first vendors we booked because I had my eye on her work for a while and we are so glad we picked her!! Mayah was over communicative leading up to the big day, and made us feel so comfortable. It was so helpful that her package included an engagement shoot so we could get a feel for each other prior to the big day! She kept us on track, on time and got amazing shots of us. You need a photographer who is assertive, organized and can corral a group abs Mayah did all that and more, working alongside our videographer team too. I even sent her an inspiration board for some specific candids she was able to deliver on as well. 12/10 recommend Mayah.

    Bride

    Mayah Lee Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Mayah and her team were quick to respond, positive in their attitude, and extremely responsive to all of our questions and requests. Their level of experience and creativity was evident in the high-quality photos they captured, which beautifully documented all the special moments of our wedding day. Mayah gave us great direction during the portrait sessions, helping us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The entire team had wonderful energy and helped create a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere throughout the day. We couldn't be happier with the photos and are so grateful to Mayah Lee Photography for helping make our wedding day so memorable.

    photos you can FEEL

    Mayah was the very first vendor we booked—and for good reason!! We instantly fell in love with her style, and after working with her, we can confidently say she has a rare and remarkable gift. Her ability to capture the real, raw, and beautiful moments—the candid emotions, the energy, and the love—is truly unmatched. These aren’t just photos; they’re memories you can feel. Multiple guests asked who our photographer was because the images were that stunning. What makes Mayah even more special is who she is behind the camera. Her warm, upbeat energy is absolutely contagious. She’s the ultimate hype-girl—cheering you on, making you laugh, and helping you feel completely at ease in front of the lens. For two people who aren’t naturally comfortable being photographed, that meant everything. Beyond her talent and energy, Mayah is incredibly professional, organized, and respectful of the flow of the day. She blended in seamlessly, yet somehow managed to be everywhere at once, capturing every meaningful moment without ever feeling intrusive. If you're looking for someone who will not only deliver breathtaking photos but also elevate your entire wedding experience, Mayah is your girl. We’re endlessly grateful for her!

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Yes! There are times where I would suggest to bring on a second photographer. If you'd like to add one onto your package, we can definitely do that.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online on your one month anniversary! Within this time, you can also expect to receive a USB drive with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
You can expect about 50-80 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
