We used MBD for our DJ and decided to go with a photographer with them as well – wanted to streamline the number of vendors we dealt with. Great decision!! Planning a DJ and Phot...

ographer was so simple with MBD having one coordinator for us to work with ahead of the wedding. Taylor was assigned after letting them know the type of photographs we were looking for. I had an intro meeting with her as I wanted to be sure we at least had some rapport before making final selection. She was so nice and immediately seemed like a great fit. The day of she was spectacular. Our timing was a little off schedule, and she worked with our Coordinator seamlessly to keep us on track all while still ensuring we captured all the pictures we wanted. At the wedding and reception, she was everywhere, yet very unobtrusive – you didn’t notice her unless you were trying to notice her. She blended right in with everyone. While we won’t get pictures back immediately, we’re looking forward to seeing the final outputs.

MBD Photography was wonderful to work with, and we would definitely hire them again. Every person we spoke with was courteous and professional. Any questions we had were answered v...

ery quickly. The online portal was a great way to keep track of information the photographer needed to know, and it was easy to use. We also felt like the price was reasonable. Our photographer for our wedding day was Taylor. Taylor was absolutely phenomenal. She captured the emotion of the day, and we can relive all of it through our photos. We did not have a large bridal party, but we did have a lot of family portraits that were important to us. Taylor made sure to get all the pictures on our shot list. She was familiar with our venue, so she already knew the best locations. Taylor was so kind and made us feel comfortable on the other side of the camera. We received our photos only a few weeks later, and you can tell that Taylor took her time with the editing process. Overall, we would not change a thing about our wedding day. We highly recommend Taylor and MBD Photography.

My husband and I had Maks shoot our wedding through MBD - Photography. Not only did the photos turn out amazing but his energy and creative mind are far above anyone else. He finds...

a way to bring out an entire groups personality (which can be extremely hard, as most are camera shy) but you can see each individual in their element. Maks is professional, genuine and truly wants to make your big day exactly how you envision it. If anyone were looking for a photographer, I would recommend Maks time and time again!!
