Maryn, of Maryn Graves Productions, went way beyond our expectations for our engagement session in Annapolis, Maryland this past fall. Being photographed is not easy. You worry about your look or if your poses are too forced. I can honestly say Maryn was able to throw out my fears. I stressed about our engagement shoot for weeks on what to wear, and how I could coordinate outfits with my fiance so they complimented each other. I would send Maryn photos of our outfits and she would provide input on what would photograph well and also help us on how to achieve the look we were aiming for. In addition, she made us so comfortable during the actual shoot. My fiance and I are not a public-PDA couple, but she was able to make us laugh and enjoy the moments. She brought out our soft smiles, intimate looks, and tender kisses. She gave us a variety of poses, everything from your traditional "Mom & Dad" pose to stylistic photos we will cherish forever. The pictures are timeless and show who we are, together, and I will be forever grateful for them. Right now, I am struggling with which photos to choose for our Save the Dates, and to hang in our home, because they are all so beautiful. We cannot wait to have Maryn on our big day!

Maryn is the most kind-hearted, enthusiastic, and talented wedding photographer on this planet (not a hyperbole). My husband and I were obsessed the first day we met her! She was organized in making sure she wrote down all of our ideas, she was excited about our vision, and she was such an incredibly genuine person that it hardly felt like talking business. During our engagement shoot we realized what an amazing decision we made in hiring her. Maryn showed up bright and early (all smiles), fit in photos at not just one but two very different locations for us, helped us coordinate our outfits to be picture perfect, and in no time had us completely comfortable in front of the camera taking happy, romantic, candid pictures. On my wedding day, Maryn was as supportive as a best friend but as prepared/organized as a wedding coordinator. Every picture we wanted she made sure we got. Every moment was captured, and even in such a busy day she found opportunities to steal my husband and I away from the crowd to get romantic couple pictures (as requested). Now is a good time to mention that is POURED the morning of my wedding. My husband and I had our first-look photos at 10:00am, and I had wanted sooo badly for them to be outside in a specific spot. Maryn was prepared with clear umbrellas, new rainy-day pose ideas, and despite the weather she had the best attitude. Our first-look pictures are STUNNING and I am so glad she was all for braving the rain with us to capture those moments. Now, 6 months later, I still order all of my prints and canvases through Maryn. Currently I am ordering a framed, canvas bridal portrait from her. As always, she has been fast to reply and eager to give me the best experience possible (even photoshopping my necklace to be centered). Something that I don’t think is stressed enough is that your photographer may be the most important person you hire for your wedding. Your wedding is one day, but a good photographer can help you relive that day for the rest of your life (and generations to come). When I received my portfolio from Maryn, I cried like a baby. All of the joy of that day rushed back because she captured every smile, every tear, every hug, and sooo much joy. Every time I look at those pictures I am taken back to the happiest day of my life. Hiring Maryn was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding (if not the best). I cannot stress enough, if you want the full package of hard-working, sweet, and talented, look no further. Hire Maryn.

I have told Maryn over and over how lucky I feel that I ended up finding her and hiring her for my wedding. She was such a pleasure to work with, and was always quick to respond when I had questions leading up to the wedding. Her pricing was also very reasonable. Our pictures came out absolutely beautiful and I look at them all the time! It is so wonderful to have these pictures to remember that perfect day!
