The Best Photographer Ever

“Wow…where to begin? From the first email exchange I knew maura was going to be amazing! She was so responsive, helpful, and enthusiastic upon receiving my inquiry. I loved her photos and decided that I didn’t need to meet her in person before deciding she would be our wedding photographer…the vibes from her were just THAT good!

Our wedding day arrived and Maura exceeded all of our expectations (which were already high due to our experiences with her). She was prompt, efficient and remained fun and calm despite the many many large group photos we had. She stole us away during “golden hour” because the light was perfect and she wanted to sneak in a few more photos of us before the party really kicked off. I am SO SO glad she did this because they are beyond gorgeous!!!! this won’t be the last time we use Maura Black Photography!” – Karen t.

Phenomenal!

“Man did we luck out with Maura. From the first phone consultation to the last photo on the dance floor, she couldn’t have been more helpful and just plain awesome to work with. Maura captured some of those little, intimate moments that we were hoping for including the getting ready pictures, exchanging of gifts, and first look. There were seriously some magazine cover quality pictures (see bride with her bouquet). Her personality is wonderful and she definitely knows some of the best spots to take photos around the city. She was on her A game the entire day as we took photos at several different locations in a short amount of time. A beautiful person and a fantastic photographer, we would highly recommend Maura!”

My husband and I truly cannot recommend Maura highly enough – from planning the day to capturing moments big and small to delivering our beautiful photo gallery, she was a true professional and absolute joy to work with!

The best decision I made for my wedding day!

I don’t even know where to begin, but I can say without a doubt that Maura was the best decision I made for my wedding day (besides my Husband!). I was definitely an over-thinker in every aspect of my wedding, but Maura was always calm, cool and collected. Even when I found out that one of my top photo locations was closed for the day (and I had a mild breakdown), Maura was quick to suggest other locations – and to be honest, we loved them even more than the place we originally chose. I’m also convinced she is wonder woman and never sleeps – we were so pleasantly surprised to wake up to a sneak peek of some photos the morning after our wedding. We are so excited to continue to relive the best day of our life with all of the beautiful moments Maura captured for us! She is amazing to work with, and I would recommend Maura to anyone in search of a photographer!!!! – noelle w.

Maura is the one!

“If you need a photographer is who is going to be as excited as you are about your wedding, Maura is the one! From the first time we met, she was all prepared to make sure she gave nothing but the best. she can make the most ordinary stuff look fabulous. and delivered all the pictures really fast and they look AMAZING! She captured details I did not even know existed. She is the BOMB, both as a photographer and as a friend. Thank you, Maura!” – Sarah s.

Her energy and enthusiasm get you so pumped up that you forget that you are getting your pictures taken! She is extremely sweet and kind and I could not be happier with everything she has done for us. I literally jump up and down every time I see my photos!

AMAZING to work with

“From our first email exchange and the introductory phone call to receiving our incredible wedding images, Maura was AMAZING to work with. She was very professional, collaborative, and honestly a pleasure to be around. We felt very at ease with her and she really took the time to get to know our goals and vibe for our wedding day and delivered in such a perfect way. Our friends and families were raving about her post-wedding and she helped us coordinate different transitions and moments throughout the reception with the venue and our DJ, which was simply above and beyond! We received our teasers and final photos in a very timely manner and the final product was not only beautiful but reflected everything we loved about our big day! We could not recommend Maura more and will be using her for all of our major life events moving forward.” – danyel l.

Can’t recommend highly enough!

“Maura did an amazing job. she exceeded our expectations in the engagement session, not just because the pictures were amazing, but because she made us feel so comfortable and happy. That day we were super tired but nothing of that was reflected on pictures, only our happiness and love. Finally, during the whole wedding she was so fun and sweet. Not only did we love her but so did our guests! our photos are amazing. We are so happy we worked with Maura.” – Mariella G.

Beyond thrilled!

“I am beyond thrilled with the beautiful photos Maura captured of our wedding day! She was so easy to work with and she made me and my husband feel so comfortable the entire time… which, since we both hate having our picture taken, is really saying something! It was an incredibly long day for Maura. We had our wedding mass in the morning, photos in the late afternoon, and our reception was on a boat on Lake Michigan until midnight. I’m sure she was exhausted but you could never tell- the entire time she was professional, smiling, and accommodating. Our family and friends at the wedding also commented that they felt our photographer was so friendly, and that she did a great job capturing moments without ever being too intrusive. She took excellent candid and staged shots in all sorts of different settings and lighting. Everyone is really impressed with the quality of our photos and also how timely she was at getting them back to us. We would highly recommend her to anyone in search of an amazing photographer! “ – Katie G
