Where do I begin? Mackensey embodies everything I'd want in a photographer - she's warm, professional, a great communicator, and makes you feel right at home in any setting. We hired her for our wedding and had an engagement shoot with her as well and I can't rave enough about the photos I've seen so far. From candid shots, to posed portraits, to every special moment in between - I would hire her again if I get the chance!
Mackensey Alexander was everything we’d hoped for and more. She’s photographed lots of weddings and I knew before I was even engaged that I wanted her gorgeous style to capture the memories of our special day, forever. I absolutely love her photography style and her as a person. Her energy is the best for any nervous couples, she has a super calming and professional demeanor. I’d recommend her any time again and again.
I can't recommend Mackensey highly enough. From our very first phone call, she was kind, supportive, informative, and calming. Her photos speak for themselves -- they are GORGEOUS -- but she also went above and beyond to help us throughout the whole process. We had to reschedule 3x because of COVID, and although it must have been so stressful for her to juggle an entire year of rescheduled weddings, Mackensey was so supportive and flexible. Her presence on the day off was professional and calming, and she worked closely with us leading up to the day to make sure she captured everything we hoped for. Now going through the photos is like living the day over and over again! She really captured the joy and essence of the day, and I am so grateful to her. Any couple would be so lucky to work wit her & her team!!!
In the midst of one of the most overwhelming days of our lives, Mackensey captures our joy perfectly. She came into a situation not knowing the venue (being from out of town), or the photo locations we had chosen, and she made them work beautifully. She also found a second shooter in a town that’s not her own that was absolutely amazing. Her editing elicits the exact vibe we were shooting for, and we got “sneak peaks” less than 48 hrs after the wedding. Trust me, you may not think you want pictures immediately, but the moment you get them you’ll obsess for days. She was the perfect mixture of directive and responsive. We are forever grateful that she was the one to capture our day.
Mackensey is so gifted at the art of photography. Her artistic ability goes above-and-beyond to capture all dimensions of the beauty of the special moments in your life. Hiring her for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made. She is so professional, calming, and savvy at what she does. I had a worry-free, fun, and happy experience having her as our photographer. The photos she took were GORGEOUS with highest quality artistry. A+, 5-stars, 5/5, essential, highly recommend!
5 stars is not enough for Mackensey! She is so incredibly talented and the pictures show her talent! Our engagement photos are PERFECT! Not only do you get perfect pictures but Mackensey makes you feel comfortable and makes the process fun. We cannot give Mackensey enough praises for work!
Let me start this review off by saying, my husband and I had a destination wedding in Savannah and I was not a bride that enjoyed wedding planning.
With that being said, have you ever met someone where you look back and think, “Thank God, they were a part of that moment”? That’s how I feel about Mackensey, her 2nd shooter, and her assistant. They truly made our wedding day amazing.
The energy they exude helped me relax during this emotional, nerve-racking day (even when I had a minor meltdown with my dress [thanks Skye for helping me find my bustle]). Their encouragement also helped us feel confident in front of the camera.
Our "sneak peak" photos turned out awesome! If you can get on Mackensey’s schedule (she fills up fast) - DO IT!! She is worth every penny. Not only is she extremely talented, she is also a wonderful person. By the end of our time together, I felt less like her client and more like her friend.
Mackensey was truly a joy to work with. Calm, collected and very knowledgeable. Her artistic eye and talent are beyond words. Our wedding photos turned out better than I could possibly have imagined. I can't believe all that Mackensey captured during our special day! The sheer volume of pictures to look at from the day, as well as the time spent editing each to look it best - there is not a bad picture in the bunch! I couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Mackensey! Beyond Highly Recommended!
Choosing Mackensey as our photographer was hands-down the best wedding-related decision that my husband and I made. Aside from the structure of our ceremony and vows, photography was the single most important element of our big day, and if you want the best, Mackensey is it.
Our first confirmation of this decision was at our engagement photo session. It’s important to remember that while I don’t mind sitting for photographs, my husband is the exact opposite. After our session with Mackensey, he couldn’t stop saying was how easy, fun, and efficient the entire morning was. When we got the pictures back, I was shocked to see how perfectly Mackensey was able to capture the essence of our relationship. Everything about our session and the final results were so organic.
On our actual wedding day, Mackensey was the glue holding so many things together. We hired her to take pictures and capture memories of our special day, but she did so much more than that. There were a couple of moments during the day that I was inundated with the stress of where to go, what to do, how to avoid family drama, and how to get away from our overbearing wedding day coordinator—Mackensey instantly stepped in to calm me down with the philosophy , “It’s your wedding day. You need to be having fun and doing what you want.” All the moments that I desperately want to remember from our wedding day are captured in her film—my husband’s face when the church doors opened, my parents’ overwhelming enthusiasm and joy, my emotions when I saw old friends who traveled near and far to be with us. Not a single detail was missed.
Looking back on our wedding day and all of the planning that went into it, our choice of photographer is still the component that we appreciated the most. Mackensey’s photography is elegant, artistic, and timeless, and her subjects always look effortlessly beautiful. I hope to have her in our lives for years to come as our family grows and changes and new memories are made!
Mackensey was great from start to finish -- We loved working with her, it was like having another friend with us for the day -- she made us feel completely at-ease. Moreover, the pictures are gorgeous. I was so excited to see our proofs (a little under 4 weeks after the wedding)and was not disappointed -- they look like art. She captured both the beauty of our surroundings and made my husband and me look great!
I can't say enough about Mackensey :) She did our engagement photos and also our wedding photos. Everytime we met with her, she was overly accomodating and willing to work with us as a couple. Knowing that posing for the camera isn't the easiest thing for some people- she always had ideas, props, or photobooks for us to look at and work with. Not only is she a joy to work with, she's extremely professional, punctual and TALENTED. Her work speaks for it's self. Highly recommended!
