    Fantastic!

    To say Jes is fantastic would be a huge understatement! Jes was recommended to me by the sister of my soon to be fiance. When Jes learned that I was going to propose during our "family photos," she was so over the moon excited for me and so quick to get back to me with all of my completely neurotic questions/concerns/and gave the best advice. The day of the actual proposal/ pictures, I met Jes and just knew it would be a great experience. Her personality was exactly what I needed to calm the nerves and just reassured that everything was going to go according to plan. The pictures came back quickly and OMG so perfect. She caught every wonderful angle, pose, ideas we had along with the perfect time of day with the sun setting. I could not have picked a better photographer to capture one of the happiest days of my life. In fact, we adored her so much that she is flying in and will be doing our wedding in North Carolina as well! We know there are a ton of photographers out there, however, we will not be using anyone other than Jes @ The Maewood Collective. If youre reading reviews and doing your research on who to choose, do yourself a favor book with them. You will come out as happy as we all are!

    The best!!!

    My fiance and I loved our experience with Jess and her husband. Jess made the entire process so fun and easy and we are in love with the photos she captured (which she got back to us SO quick!). She had so many fun and unique prompts to make the shoot feel natural and easygoing, which produced so many different and beautiful photos. Before our shoot, she was so helpful with choosing our outfits and the location and making sure that we were comfortable going in. We cannot wait to continue to work with The MaeWood Collective in the future and have them capture our wedding day, which Jess is already planning ahead for.

    Spontaneously PERFECT

    I had an incredible experience with The Maewood Collective. From start to finish, their professionalism, creativity, energy, and attention to detail truly exceeded any of my expectations. They went above and beyond to capture the essence of every moment, whether it was doing silly dance moves to get us to laugh or stacking their camera on a wobbly and questionable trash can. Their ability to understand and make my vision come alive through stunning photographs was remarkable. They were not just photographers but storytellers, capturing emotions, memories, and moments that will last a lifetime, not only through photographs but through their thoughtful blog posts! The quality of their work speaks volumes about their expertise and passion for photography. Moreover, their customer service was exceptional. They were attentive, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire process, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.
    I highly recommend The Maewood Collective to anyone seeking exceptional photography services. They have a unique ability to capture the beauty of every moment, and their dedication to their craft shines through in every photo they produce. Thank you to the entire team for making my special moments even more memorable!

    The Best Decision You'll Make!!!

    The MaeWood Collective captured every moment of our wedding with such precision and artistry that I'm left speechless. From the intricate details of our décor to the candid laughter shared between family and friends, they didn't miss a beat. Jes and the team's dedication to understanding our vision was evident in every shot. Their ability to blend seamlessly into the background while still capturing the essence of the day was remarkable.

    What truly sets them apart is their genuine enthusiasm and passion for their craft. It's evident that they love what they do, and that passion translates into breathtaking photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was beautifully documented.

    Moreover, their professionalism and responsiveness throughout the entire process made working with them an absolute dream. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, they were communicative, accommodating, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our satisfaction.

    I cannot express enough gratitude for the invaluable role the MaeWood Collective played in making our wedding day truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a team of talented photographers and videographers who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend the MaeWood Collective to anyone in search of exceptional photography services.

    MaeWood Photography's reply:

    Maddie, your wedding day was an absolute dream and we are so grateful you trusted us to capture your day. Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed review. It really makes a difference for us. SO MUCH LOVE TO YOU!

    The absolute best!!!

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about Meg, Jes, and Jess. Maewood Collective has been part of my husband and I’s entire engagement/wedding journey. Andy booked Meg and Jess for our original engagement. They both helped Andy formulate a plan and most importantly, helped play it all out! Jess styled the most wonderful area for the engagement and Meg was hiding in the trees for the perfect shot.

    Obviously, we knew we’d be using Maewood for our engagement photos and wedding!!! We connected with Meg and Jes again. Scheduled our engagement photos, which of course had a TON of rain in the forecast. Meg and Jes were on top of it, communicating throughout the entire process and offering a plethora of options to ensure we got the photos we wanted.

    Fast forward to our wedding - Jes, Megan, and Jess went ABOVE AND BEYOND. I truly couldn’t imagine our wedding day without them. Jes and Meg showed up ready to rock and roll. They helped move us along throughout the day and made myself, my husband, and our family/friends incredibly comfortable. They posed us all perfectly while also grabbing the precious candid moments we all want. They made sure to include all of the good shots while making sure my requests were honored as well.

    Jess kept the world spinning on our day as our coordinator and honestly, bestie. They say it when you have a meeting, but Jess works for you - always having your best interest in mind and keeping your priorities highest. There are not enough words I can say for Jess, she played about a million roles on our wedding day and did amazing at every single one.

    With all of this said and done, I have not even mentioned the insanely quick turn around for sneak peek photos and the actual albums! Maewood is beyond professional and knowledgeable when directing shoots or capturing your special day. AND the photos are beautiful, capturing exactly what we wanted, and what I didn’t even know I wanted!!

    As the oldest child in my family, I had no idea where to remotely start with planning. The Maewood Collective has gone above and beyond to be so much more than “just” photography and coordinating. They are all wonderful human beings who have made every interaction fun and without stress. Their knowledge, kind words, and incredible personalities have helped make this experience so fun.

    MaeWood Photography's reply:

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is just amazing and we appreciate you so much. We can't wait for your wedding day and we are honored to share in this journey with you every step of the way!

    MaeWood Goes Above and Beyond!

    The MaeWood Collective absolutely exceeded all expectations with the photography for me and my wife's proposal, engagement, and wedding photography! Meg and Jes do such a great job making you feel comfortable and helping you look your best in every photograph they take!

    We also had Jess as our wedding coordinator and could not have been more thankful to have the wonderful support she gave! Between helping find the right vendors, to making sure every detail was executed to perfection on the big day Jess was such a tremendous help!

    I would highly recommend The MaeWood Collective to anyone for their photography needs!

    Maternity photos

    My family and I loved our experience with Jes. She knew exactly what she was doing, was so professional, and had ideas to make our pictures beautiful even when it started to rain. She was great with our boys and captured moments that I feel would just be thrown out by other photographers. Jes was patient and kind and had a way of explaining everything. She even taught my boys about her camera and how it picks up different types of lights and scenery uniquely. The photos really captured the essence of our family. I cannot wait for her to do our newborn photos and future family photos.

    Love working with MaeWood!

    After being a bridesmaid and getting to work with Megan and Jess and seeing their photos and videos, I knew right away I NEEDED them for my wedding! The MaeWood team is professional, answered all of my questions, got back to me right away, and made me feel like I was part of the MaeWood family. They made me and my fiancé's engagement shoot so comfortable and we had so much fun! I would highly recommend! They are the best!

    The MaeWood Collective is AMAZING 😻

    WARNING!! If you select The MaeWood Collective, prepare to have your cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing too much, constantly being hyped up, feel like an absolute model, less stress with a smooth and seamless timeline, and so much fun! I can’t even begin to explain how wonderful the whole MWC team is! They are like beautiful magicians! They made all of my visions and dreams come to life. They are patient, bring all the positive energy, helped with all my possibly ridiculous questions and knew exactly what my husband and I needed and wanted. Even from the start, feeling nervous at our engagement shoot, they helped put us at ease and feel so comfortable. If you’re looking for a photographer or videographer or coordinator, look no more! This is your team! I am so grateful and appreciate all they have done and cherish my relationship with them. They are amazing and awesome 🩷

    The best of the best!

    My fiancé booked Maewood Collective for our proposal and within the first few minutes of working with Jes and Michael, we knew we had to have this team for our wedding! They made us feel so comfortable during our shoot, told us what to do when we weren’t sure and Jes was wiping my sweat and fixing my hair to make sure every picture was perfect. Their work speaks for itself, but what really sets Maewood Collective apart is their energy, passion, and love for what they do. They don’t just capture the moment, they capture the emotions behind it all making it that much more memorable. They take pride in their work, and always deliver high-quality videos and photos. I could go on and on… but as I said, their work speaks for itself. This is a team you can rely on and trust and that’s rare to find. Thank you, Maewood Collective for making this journey so memorable and showing us our love from a different lens.

    MaeWood Photography's reply:

    I love the photos you chose to include with your review, Mary and I absolutely appreciate all the detail you left about your experience with us so far. We just can't express to you and Jordan how much we love you both and how grateful we are that Wrigley Mansion brought us together!!!

    Absolutely amazing

    MaeWood was absolutely amazing from the second I inquired! Jes helped me with every single question throughout the entire planning process, even answered questions post wedding! Our engagement photos were so much fun and so beautiful! Our wedding photos are absolutely incredible, I love them so much I look at them everyday! I have friends and family that attended the wedding and tell me how incredible they were! Could not recommend booking MaeWood more!

    MaeWood Photography's reply:

    Thank you, Mikayla! We just appreciate you so much! Your friends and family were also incredible! Not just for their kind words, but because they were one of the most supportive and loving groups of people we have ever met! We love all of you!!

    The MaeWood Collective was incredible to work with from start to finish!

    I reached out to the MaeWood Collective through their Instagram site and received a speedy response from their team! Jessica connected with me before meeting in person to discuss the type of photos I was looking for and provided clear contract expectations, and shared tips related to wardrobe and location. She was also extremely flexible rescheduling one session and finding a new location for another.

    In each session Jessica did an amazing job, making a reality the vision that I had for the photos. She is fun to work with and gives easy direction. The final photos were shared with me in a few days, and the results were incredible. I am so happy I partnered with the MaeWood Collective for these special moments!

    Choose Maewood!

    Jes, Meg, Dave, and Michael are AMAZING! We used Maewood for photography and videography for our October 2022 wedding and couldn’t be happier with our experience. From start to finish, they thought of everything. From a thoughtful welcome gift, amazing engagement session (that we had to pack into a short time due to some insane traffic getting to our location), help with our timeline, family “wrangling” on the day of, and all of our photos AND video delivered within weeks of our wedding, we couldn’t have asked for a better team. The true mark of their incredible artistry was getting genuine smiles out of both my dad and my husband’s grandfather – two of the most camera-shy people you’ll ever meet. You can’t go wrong with team Maewood!

    Amazing experience for our wedding! Could not recommend enough

    Jes and Michael were so great to work with for our engagement shoot and wedding day! Jes is a master of organizing everybody for the bridal shower and family photos. They helped us plan the timeline for the day and stick to our schedule so we could get the maximum amount of photos while still giving us a lot of time to relax and just be together. The photos turned out AMAZING and the photo album they designed for us turned out so great! Everybody was so complimentary of them and the photos, and one of my bridesmaids ended up booking with them for her wedding Could not recommend them enough!

    Can't Recommend MaeWood Collective Enough!

    Working with Jess and the MaeWood collective for my professional and family photo shoot was an amazing experience. I'm not someone who likes having their picture taken but Jess was not only able to get me through it, she got me to enjoy myself. It was the photography equivalent of giving someone a root canal without anesthesia and having them enjoy it. She even got some great photos of my cat, which I really appreciated. The shots came out amazing and I couldn't recommend her enough!

    Picture perfect family photos!

    Jessica was absolutely amazing! She has a warm and friendly personality that made our family shoot fun and easy to do. We adore the way our family photos came out! We are extremely happy with them! We even were able to include our family dog which added an extra loving touch.

    Thank you, Jessica! ☺️

    The best ever!

    When we first started looking for a photographer and videographer for our wedding, I had an idea of what I wanted. Jes and Michael were everything I wanted and more. From the first time meeting them on zoom, I knew they were the perfect fit for us. They both made me feel so at ease about every step of our wedding day. From the start of wedding planning, my husband and I knew we wanted bridal portraits in Sedona after the wedding. Jes and Michael hiked up at 4am with us in the dark so we could have the most epic Sedona photos. We are so grateful to have found Jes and Michael. They are truly the best and go above and beyond. We loved them so much we use them any time we need photo or video done. Truly the best.

    MaeWood Photography's reply:

    We love you so much!!!!! Hiking up Cathedral Rock with you at 4 am was the best decision we ever made!!! Thank you for trusting us with your love story and we can't wait to see what life has in store for you both!!!

    Meg & Jess are the dream team. I cannot imagine what my wedding day would have looked like without them! They're photographer skills are out of this world, and their ability to make you comfortable in front of the camera is second to none!
    They even had a sneak peak of the pictures available during the reception! Truly an amazing experience!

    If I could give them 6 stars, I would! They are amazing!

    Where do I begin with Jes and Michael?! I read all the reviews of them, and I thought these guys are too good to be true! But ITS ALL TRUE! They are INCREDIBLE! They are professional, organized, flexible, kind, and fun! The photos/video they took were stunning and they did a great job! All our guests kept saying how good they were, and everyone loved working with them.
    Trust me, you don’t want anyone else there on your special day! They were charismatic and brought a positive energy to the day! I can’t say enough good things about them! It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jes and Michael.
