HEY, I'M Maggie

ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE TIMELESS LOVE

Where did my love of documenting love begin? 

let me take you back in time to help you understand how i got here!

as soon as i got my hands on my first iPod touch, it was game OVER. i was outside taking pictures of everything. i'm talking blades of grass to self-portraits; i was HEAVILY editing every single picture i took and submitting them to any photo contest i could find (lol). at some point, i got my hands on a hand-me-down canon rebel and took it to college with me. whether you were my best friend or someone i had known for five minutes, i was asking you to model for me. after a while, i started to venture out and take couple portraits for some of my friends, and eventually, i was asked to shoot a low-budget wedding. after that day, i absolutely fell in love with weddings and couples. the feeling of being able to document (in real time!) unique relationships to the point of looking at the photos and experiencing those same emotions was, and is, so purposeful for me. i slowly upgraded my gear and started to gain clients. it's been six years since that first wedding, and i'm still so geeked to be able to call this my job. i'm based in charlotte, north carolina, but i'm happy to travel to wherever you and your hunny will have me. thank you for being here and taking the time to share in my passion for connecting with clients like you.

TRAVEL with ME

2025

August 14-17 // Lake George, NY 

share your vision with me, and let's dream together.

Maggie exceeded all expectations!

we loved working with her.

I didn’t know if we were going to have to figure out poses for ourselves or what but that was not the case. She guided us through the entire shoot, and made it such a fun experience. I feel like she not only captured my relationship perfectly but my bond with my doggo! Will continue working with her!

every moment we talked about, she captured & then some.

i combed through dozens of wedding photographers.

The moment I saw Maggie’s work I knew she was the one, and let me tell you, she far exceeded my expectations. I knew she was going to be amazing, without a doubt, she took my breath away. Every moment we talked about, she captured, and then some. She checked in with me constantly, we face timed, spoke on the phone, she had thorough questionnaires to fill out, created our whole photography timeline. She was fun to be around, made us feel extremely comfortable. I can’t say enough amazing things about her. She is outstanding, the best there is! I feel truly blessed to have found her.

we had never taken professional photos before.

Maggie is wonderful! She put us at ease with suggestions and pointers on location, clothing, and so much more. She communicated clear expectations and everything was delivered on time. The shoot itself was such a fun experience and we are in LOVE with our photos. We couldn’t be more thankful that we chose Magdalena Rose Photography!!
