Memories by Maria Photography

I just gave Memories by Maria photography the highest rating on thumbtack which is where we first heard of her services. We hired Maria to be our wedding photographer and when we first reached out to her she told us that one of her goals if hired was to create an experience so wonderful that we would want to include her in all of our life events. I can honestly say that she delivered that experience in its entirety and we have both agreed that we want to hire her for all of our major life events that we would like photographed. Maria was profession at all times during the course of the year we worked with her leading up to our wedding. Just as important, she managed to make the entire experience fun for both my wife and I. I really appreciated that as planning for the wedding was bit stressful at times to say the least. It was nice to always be looking forward to the times we would meet with MariaFor us Price was a big factor when choosing a photographer. Maria was the only out of the 6 photographers we initially contacted that worked with our budget and made us feel like we were more than a paycheck.The day of our wedding was a whirlwind with two large families coming together under one roof. It downpoured the entire day all the way up to our ceremony. Maria exhibiting an enormous amount of creativity and patience, capturing beautiful photos that used the poor weather conditions to our benefit. She was a big hit with our families too always being receptive to requests. Maria thank you for your commitment to capturing the magic of our big day. And we appreciate your efforts to get. Our photos to us in such a quick fashion. To anyone reading this review look no further you have found your photographer. More...

Matt and I met Maria in the early summer of 2018 when planning our wedding. At that time, we were looking for a photographer to do our engagement photos, as well as family photos on the beach in Ocean City, New Jersey. When we met Maria, we instantly hit it off! She brought some of her merchandise and sample works of art to show us the endless possibilities to capture our love for one another and our family. From day one, she was very accomodating and easy to work with, especially with our inquiry to split up our engagement photo shoots into two separate locations and days (Ocean City, New Jersey & Philadelphia, PA). Not to mention, her photography services are set an affordable rate to was within our budget!

We had perfect weather for our family and engagement photo shoots on the beach. She kept everything moving smoothly to ensure we had the perfect lighting and backdrop. Our engagement photos required a few outfit changes on my end, but Maria did not let that interrupt her flow throughout the photo shoot! We even got her to ride a bicycle on the boardwalk to travel to another location to change scenery. All of the family and beach engagement photos turned out amazing! Our photos became many Christmas cards for that year and are still be hung around our homes to reminisce on that special day!

Maria met us in October of 2018 at Race Street Pier in Philadelphia, PA to capture some additional engagement photos by the Delaware River. Matt and I originally met through mutual friends in Philadelphia back in 2014, so it was important to us to get some engagement photos in our old stomping grounds. Maria was able to coordinate this photo shoot on her travel back from another wedding in Pennsylvania, so it was a perfect spot for her to stretch her legs and get some fresh air from the long car ride. She found creative ways to utilize the waterfront promenade and the soaring bridge views to enhance our engagement photos. We loved introducing Maria to this spot, as I am sure she will revisit it to take more photos in the future!

Maria was efficient and excellent in her organization and communication leading up to our wedding day, as well as providing so many helpful suggestions throughout the photography planning. Leading up to the day, she assisted me to form a precise timeline to ensure all the details shots and getting ready moments were captured! Luckily, the bridal suites were located on the same floor and only a few doors apart, so it was easy for Maria to travel back and forth without an issue. She traveled with us to and from the venue and church to photograph all the special moments to our big day! The photos she edited and provided for our wedding exceeded our expectations and then some — they were nothing short of STUNNING. Our family and friends cannot stop complimenting us on how many beautiful photos we have to remember all the love that was shared at our wedding!

After all the celebration and party is over, Maria continued to check in to see how the married life was treating us! Her delivery of our gallery was expedient and flawless within 3 short weeks from the wedding day! About a week later, we received a ‘thank you’ care package from Maria containing a framed photo, personalized usb for our photo printing needs and a Christmas ornament! Maria really goes over and above your expectations for a photographer! If you are looking for a kind, caring and passionate photographer for your wedding, couple or family photo needs, Maria Keegan should be your first choice! More...

It was the most enchanting day and we never dreamt that the "feeling" of our wedding could be captured so perfectly. Every moment, every special touch, every surprise, every person. ...captured thru Maria's lens. When we were and when we weren't expecting it.

First let me start by saying that Maria has photographed multiple events for my family. Her photos were so wonderful that we chose to hire her for our big day! Maria was so kind and professional from the start. She helped guide us through the wedding planning process. She also gave us incredible input when it came to coming up with ideas for our photos. When it came to our big day Maria was so understanding of our crunched timeline and even helped speed us along. She goes above and beyond to always get the best photo possible. I would recommend Maria ten times over again to anyone who asked.

My family had a wonderful experience doing an extended beach photo shoot with Maria! She was patient and took her time with us and the kids when they were being stubborn. She made sure we had all the variations of photos and beach backgrounds that we wanted. Shortly after, we got to see a handful of samples from our shoot and I knew that we were going to get a great gallery of photos based on that sample. And I was right!! They came out beautiful! Highly recommend Maria! More...

We enjoyed our photo session with Maria very much and the pictures were wonderful. It was a very windy and sunny evening. Maria works with each of of us to make us look good for each picture . She was very willing to take the pictures we suggested and also branched off on her own to take pictures we had not thought to include. She did a very nice job working with our large family of 19 and I would recommend her highly. More...
