MaeWood Photography

At The MaeWood Collective, we're passionate about capturing life's most precious moments in a way that exudes elegance, joy, and romance. Our journey began when Jessica and Megan, two kindred spirits with a shared love for photography and people, decided to join forces and create something unique.

Jessica, a desert girl at heart, and Megan, a lover of all things Southern, met in a classroom over ten years ago. Their friendship blossomed, and they found common ground in their love for photography and the stories it can tell. They realized that they could offer something special - a balance of candid moments and delicately directed portraits that truly capture the essence of life's most important connections.

As they pursued their passion for photography, they began to explore their individual creativity, venturing into family photography in their local areas. While they both travel extensively for weddings, Jessica is based in Northern Neck Virginia, and Megan is local to Southern Pennsylvania.

Jessica brings a teacher's heart to every wedding day, with compassion, patience, guidance, love, and a dash of fun. Her background in education has equipped her with the skills to manage, educate, and guide her clients through the process, ensuring that their wedding day is nothing short of perfect. Megan, on the other hand, brings her own unique perspective and creativity, blending seamlessly into the background while capturing the essence of the day.

Together, they form a dynamic duo that understands the importance of preserving memories and creating timeless heirlooms for generations to come. Their work is a testament to their dedication, passion, and love for what they do.

Our Mission

Our artistic mission is simple: to capture love stories in a way that is both elegant and curated. We believe that your wedding day should be more than just a series of photos; it should be a beautifully documented story that reflects your unique love and connection.

At The MaeWood Collective, we understand that your wedding is not just about the two of you; it's about the people you love most and the connections you share with them. That's why we take the time to get to know you, to understand your vision, and to ensure that every moment of your special day is captured with precision and artistry.

We're passionate about creating a stress-free and enjoyable experience for our clients. We believe in the power of open communication, and we're always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer support throughout the entire process.

Our Philosophy

We believe that your wedding photos should be more than just pretty pictures; they should be a reflection of your love, your connection, and your unique story. That's why we focus on capturing the moments that truly matter - the laughter, the tears, the stolen kisses, and the quiet moments of intimacy.

We're not just photographers; we're storytellers. We're dedicated to capturing your love story in a way that is both timeless and personal. We believe that your wedding photos should be a family heirloom, passed down through generations, and cherished for years to come.

At The MaeWood Collective, we're committed to delivering high-quality, elegant, and romantic photos that truly capture the essence of your wedding day. We're passionate about what we do, and we can't wait to help you preserve your most precious memories.
