    Magical wedding photos!

    I am SOO happy that we booked Meagan and Joe for our wedding and engagement photos. The photos are better than I could have ever imagined. We were not used to being in the photo spotlight but Meagan knew exactly what to say to make us feel comfortable! They are so easy going, which was amazing since weddings can be stressful. Our wedding was postponed due to COVID and it was super easy rescheduling with Meagan. We had to shrink the wedding down to a backyard wedding and the photos are so magical. We have gotten so many compliments on the photos, and everyone who was at our wedding told us how amazing the photographers were :) we HIGHLY recommend Meagan and Joe, and we will definitely use them in the future!

    Meagan Gaines Photography's reply:

    Alex! I'm catching up on reviews now, and I just wanted to say THANK YOU. This review means so much to us. You and TJ are always so kind and thoughtful. You are truly two of the sweetest people, and we feel so lucky to have gotten to work with you both. Your wedding day was a dream, and we loved being a part of it so much!

    We never took photos, but she made it feel so easy

    Meagan and Joe were absolutely amazing, especially after our engagement photos got ruined by another photography in Texas. She put us at ease the entire day. Both my husband and I are not photogenic and never take photos, but we absolutely had a blast and the photos are amazing. We will definitely keep her on our list to go back and take photos with over the years.

    The best photographers!

    Meagan and Joe were amazing! Photos were something my husband and I were so nervous about because we don’t love being the center of attention of taking lots of pictures but they made us feel so comfortable and we ended up just laughing the whole day! They gave us the best experience and the most breathtaking beautiful photos ever!!!

    Incredible photographer and a joy to work with!

    Meagan, and her husband Joe, were absolutely INCREDIBLE on my sister's wedding day. They were attentive, flexible, and such a joy to be around. They gave us everything we wanted and MORE. Meagan is a true wedding professional. The pictures are absolutely stunning and we can't wait to hang them on our walls forever! Thank you so much Meagan!

    Meagan & Joe are the best!!!

    Meagan & Joe are seriously the sweetest people you’ll ever meet!! Not to mention the best photographers!😍 we hired them for our wedding this past weekend and have nothing but amazing things to say & everyone that attended the wedding would agree. Not only did they take gorgeous photos and make us feel comfortable, but Meagan was constantly checking in on me and making sure I was doing okay. I fell in love with their work the second I found them online, but now that I’ve had the chance to actually work with them and get to know them, I’ll never use another photographer. Thank you both so much

    My favorite vendor

    Meagan and Joe were by far my favorite vendor to work with. The photos they captured for our engagement shoot and wedding were absolutely amazing. They also are some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet in general. Highly recommend them! 💜

    Benfield Wedding

    Can I give more than 5 stars to this wonderful husband and wife team?! You are the dream. You made my dreams come true for our wedding photos! You are kind, understanding, helpful, and put up with my sassy attitude when I stood on the grass for too long in those heels. Thank you for loving me and my groom so well! Thank you for making us look good and not awkward like we really are. I will never ever stop recommending you to anyone and everyone. I will never stop using you for photos. I felt like a movie star!

    Top Notch Photographer

    My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about Meagan and Joe. They are an absolute dream to work with and all around good people! We were blessed to have them do both our engagement session and our wedding. We were a COVID couple and did have to reschedule our wedding day which Meagan made so easy to do. She was initially recommended to me by my wedding planner, and after looking at her work and having our initial phone call I knew she was the photographer for us. My husband and I are not big on taking pictures so being in the spotlight for our engagement session and wedding day felt a little overwhelming, but Meagan and Joe made it so easy and comfortable for us. The photos were nothing short of amazing! We love that not only does she capture the serious moments but the candid ones as well - we have gotten so many good laughs and endless smiles from all of our photos! Her pictures are beautiful and not over edited or over photoshopped like some photographers can do. She and Joe know the best places to take pictures and exactly how to position you for the perfect shots - trust me when I say if you follow their direction, you will not be disappointed! If I could give Meagan and Joe 10 stars, I absolutely would, and you can guarantee we will use them for any and all of our photographer needs moving forward :)

    Absolutely Amazing

    Meagan Gaines Photography was everything we could have wanted in an engagement-shoot photographer! She and her husband helped me (the groom) pull off the perfect surprise proposal for my fiancé. They were both kind, super fun, and easy to work with. Even with a little rain during our shoot, the photos turned out amazing! We highly recommend them for anyone in the Jacksonville area.

    Meagan Gaines Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Cory for taking the time to write this super sweet review, and thank you for trusting us to capture such a special moment. We loved meeting you guys and working with you both!

    I love her!

    Meagan and Joe did our wedding and they are absolutely amazing! They had plenty of direction, they were professional, they worked really well with our other vendors and assisted them, Meagan helped me with things that probably aren’t even in her job description. She does her homework, she dedicates so much of her time to perfect her work and it shows! She was flexible when I had to change my date due to Covid, and when I texted her last minute for engagement photos after my plans fell through! They both went above and beyond to make my day go off without a hitch in the pictures (even when it started raining) they captured all the magic of our day in their photos! These 2 are an amazing duo and I will have her do all of my pictures EVER!

    Meagan Gaines Photography's reply:

    Oh my gosh Camiel!!!! Excuse me as I wipe my tears. Ugh. You and Cristian are the sweetest people, and Joe and I were absolutely honored that you guys had us be a part of your wedding. It was the best day :)

    There are no words adequate enough

    Meagan and Joe were phenomenal. Honestly I could not have asked for anything more. They were great from the interviewing process, engagement photos, and the wedding. Everyone at our wedding kept asking if they were good friends of ours because they were so friendly, outgoing, and respectful to each and every one of our family members and friends. They made us feel so comfortable when we aren’t big fans of taking photos. They gave us great advice and it played out beautifully. Meagan and Joe are worth your time and money because they made our wedding so memorable. Thank you for everything. I’ll recommend you to everyone. Can’t wait until we get to do more shoots with you one day :)

    Meagan Gaines Photography's reply:

    Oh my gosh. Thank you so much Caitie! Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It means the world to us. We had the best time with you guys. Your day was so perfect, and we absolutely loved getting to be a part of it. We can't wait to see you guys again!

    Amazing photography team!

    My husband and I got married in February and cannot speak more highly of Meagan Gaines Photography! For as long as I can remember, investing in a really great wedding photographer was something I wanted more than anything else on our wedding day. Meagan and Joe were so incredibly wonderful in creating the best photography experience. They catered everything they did to our requests to make sure we got all the shots we were looking for. We had such a special time with them and we felt like they were our friends and we weren’t “just another couple” to them. They kept us laughing and completely comfortable in front of the camera. We decided to do things differently for our wedding- no bridal party, and a first look where we set aside time to take pictures just the two of us before we walked down the aisle. This was probably our favorite moment of the wedding day. It was so intimate and special, saying our vows just the two of us. And we didn’t feel rushed by time. It was almost like time stood still and Meagan and Joe captured all those amazing moments for us. One of the biggest obstacles on our wedding day was the rain…. but Meagan and Joe totally ran with it, almost like we had planned for it to downpour. They embraced the umbrellas and transformed our pictures. They even made sure we got some beach pictures without getting my dress dirty before I walked down the aisle. Their style and lighting and creative energy was so exciting and refreshing. And Meagan communicated quickly with us and had our photos back to us so fast! We love them all and it’s so hard to pick favorites! Honestly, Meagan and Joe were the best team. Couldn’t be more thankful for them. They had a smile on their faces the entire day and we would work with them again in a heartbeat.

    Steampunk Wedding made magical by MGP

    My husband and I were married on Pi Day, 3/14/2020 at the Jacksonville zoo. Because the zoo only allows set up once they close, we didn't want to loose time and requested to purchase a larger amount of time, but split it between our wedding day and (pre)wedding picture of our first look and other wedding shots. Because Meagan and her husband were so flexible and accommodating this made our wedding day magical and having our wedding pictures done, much stressful. She and her husband were so easy to work with. Their demeanor is nothing less then kind and their suggestions on how to look, stand and pose made us look like we came straight out of a magazine. She made us look and feel fantastic! I would recommend them in a heart beat.

    Meagan Gaines Photography's reply:

    You’re the sweetest Effie! Thank you so so much! We absolutely loved working with you and Morris on your special day ❤️

    A flawless experience!

    After my husband and I became engaged we began the process of searching for a photographer as this was our most important vendor! After I showed him Meagan's work he was determined we book her immediately! We did our engagement shoot, first look photoshoot, and wedding photos with Megan and her husband Joe and have never had so much fun! They were amazing dealing with our lack of modeling skills and made us feel completely at ease! When COVID hit and we made the difficult decision to downsize our wedding into a safer affair, Meagan could not have been more kind and supportive. I truly believe the energy of your vendors is so important and Meagan and Joe fit in so perfectly with our wedding guests! Their work is absolutely breathtaking and we are so thankful to have these photos to treasure forever! If you are looking for a fun, easygoing experience ending with stunning photos look no further :)

    Meagan Gaines Photography's reply:

    So I'm catching up on reviews now, and I'm just so thankful. Brooke, we LOVED working with you and Geoff. You two have the biggest hearts and that was felt so strongly on your wedding day. I love that your sweet family and friends had the time of their lives celebrating you two. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I can't wait to see you guys again soon!

    Meagan and Joe were perfect

    Meagan and her husband Joe were a dream to work with! They were punctual, professional, sweet, kind, and fun! Meagan remembered all the photos from my shot list and made sure to get them. We loved having them capture our special day at the Manor. Meagan also did a bridal boudoir shoot for me at my hotel room which turned out breathtaking. She even helped me steam my outfits as I rushed to get ready.

    Meagan Gaines Photography's reply:

    I'm catching up on replying to reviews, and I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH. Jennica, we absolutely loved working with you two. So thankful you guys came from Texas to Florida for your big day so that our paths could cross. Your wedding day was perfect in every way, and I'm so thankful we got to be there to capture it.

    Amazing amazing amazing

    We used Meagan for our engagement photos and they are amazing. They have exceeded all our expectations. Meagan is so sweet and kind and knows exactly what she is doing. My fiancé and I were clueless of how to pose and she knew exactly what to do. She made us feel so comfortable and we just had so much fun. If my wedding was in Jacksonville I totally would use her for the wedding. I will forever recommend her.

    Such kind people, so talented and thoughtful

    I cannot say enough nice things about Meagan and Joe. They spent the weekend shooting our wedding festivities, and were beyond easy to work with. Meagan has a vision, and she wasn’t afraid to push us a little outside our comfort zone to get that PERFECT shot, which now I could not be more thankful for!! These people are truly salt of the earth, genuine, kind souls who are willing to do it all to make sure every sweet moment is captured. We adore them and cannot wait to see our gallery! Do yourself a favor and hire them!!

    Meagan Gaines Photography's reply:

    Wow Shannon. Way to make Joe and I tear up on a Wednesday morning. Thank you thank you thank you for this super sweet review. You had so many changes and upsets with your wedding date, but I love that you pushed through it all and had the wedding of your dreams. Thank you for trusting us to capture it. We LOVED working with you both and your sweet family and friends :)

    best photographers around

    I feel truly blessed to have met and worked with Meagan and Joe for our engagement and wedding photos. This couple is an outstanding photography duo and made everything so easy. My husband and I definitely felt awkward in the beginning because we don't take photos, but Meagan and Joe helped us relax and gave suggestions for poses. The passion these two have for their work truly shines through in their final product. I have received so many compliments on my photos because of the angles, lighting, and vision in each photograph. You will NOT be disappointed with choosing these amazing people to photograph your big day!

    Meagan Gaines Photography's reply:

    Rheanna!!! We love you and Kurt so much. So thankful we got to shoot your engagement photos, wedding photos, and even maternity photos. You two are the kindest people in the whole world, and we are so thankful to know you guys and to have been able to work with you. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this thoughtful review and post lots of photos :)

    I got the pleasure of working with Meagan and her husband. She was the sweetest women when we met for our consultation about our plans and views on the wedding. She was quick to respond no matter what hours I contacted her and she made everything so easy. Whether you know how to pose for pictures or not, she is there to help you. She will guide you every step of the way and make you feel super comfortable. MY PICTURES CAME OUT GORGEOUS!! Her and her husband are so kind that you feel like they are your good friends joining you on your wedding day. We even got a picture with them before the left! If you are reading this review to see if you want to hire her....DO IT. She does not disappoint and I couldn't of been happier with my decision. Love you Meagan!!!!

    The absolute best!

    Meagan and her husband are such a great team! They are so beyond sweet and have such great talent! They know exactly how to pose you and where and when to get the best pictures! They didnt mind all of our friends and family asking to take pictures. I am so excited to see everything!
