If you’re here because you are engaged to the love of your life and you are in need of a wedding photographer who specializes in light, joy, and composition, and is willing to travel, then you are in the right place. Our couples often tell us that the one thing they remember most about their wedding day is how comfortable and happy they were. They trusted that we would care for them and make sure they had everything they needed to be present and joyful on their wedding day and in their photographs!
Throughout your wedding planning process, you will find friends in the MaeWood Collective. The friendships and experiences that we’ve created with our MWC Couples last far beyond the wedding day and we believe that’s how it should be! We’re excited for you to keep scrolling down to learn more about what being an #MWCBRIDE or #MWCGROOM truly means and how we can provide you that one of a kind experience you are looking for.
capturing ARtistically posed Portraits Paired with joyful + candid moments
When is the last time you fell in love with a vendor? The energy, confidence, and professionalism are unmatched by anything I have ever seen. MaeWood blew us away with their ability to adapt to weather, venue, and wardrobe issues & deliver images that far exceeded expectations. They double as wedding coordinators helping make sure that we weren't forgetting things that could detract from our big day. Then, the big day arrived. Jes and Meg made everything so fun - the stress of the day melted away and everyone had a great time. Everything was delivered early, everything exceeded expectation, and we had ZERO issues.
When we first started looking for a photographer and videographer for our wedding, I had an idea of what I wanted. Jes and Michael were everything I wanted and more. From the first time meeting them on zoom, I knew they were the perfect fit for us. They both made me feel so at ease about every step of our wedding day. From the start of wedding planning, my husband and I knew we wanted bridal portraits in Sedona after the wedding. Jes and Michael hiked up at 4am with us in the dark so we could have the most epic Sedona photos. We are so grateful to have found Jes and Michael. They are truly the best and go above and beyond. We loved them so much we use them any time we need photo or video done. Truly the best.
My fiancé booked Maewood Collective for our proposal and within the first few minutes of working with Jes and Michael, we knew we had to have this team for our wedding! They made us feel so comfortable during our shoot, told us what to do when we weren’t sure and Jes was wiping my sweat and fixing my hair to make sure every picture was perfect. Their work speaks for itself, but what really sets Maewood Collective apart is their energy, passion, and love for what they do. They don’t just capture the moment, they capture the emotions behind it all making it that much more memorable. They take pride in their work, and always deliver high-quality videos and photos. I could go on and on…This is a team you can rely on and trust and that’s rare to find.
"WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH A VENDOR?..."
When is the last time you fell in love with a vendor? From the first interview we had with Jes & Meg, we knew that we had found our photographers. Their energy, confidence, and professionalism are unmatched by anything I have ever seen. They blew us away with their ability to adapt to weather, venue, and wardrobe issues & deliver images that far exceeded expectation. They double as wedding coordinators helping make sure that we weren't forgetting things that could detract from our big day. Then, the big day arrived. Jes and Meg made everything SO(!) FUN(!) - the stress of the day melted away and everyone had a great time. With regard to delivery, timeliness, and issues.. everything came early, everything exceeded expectation, and we had ZERO issues.
"I CAN'T EVEN PUT TOGETHER WORDS AT THE MOMENT...THIS JUST MEANS THE WORLD TO OUR FAMILY..."
Words like thoughtful, exceedingly talented, creative, endearing, passionate, sensitive, meticulously organized, charming, compassionate, brilliant and gifted all seem to fall just a bit short when it comes to Jes. From the first moment we spoke on the phone I knew I found someone very special and gifted. To this day, I think Jes was put in our path as a reward for some of the chaos and trying times we found ourselves in along the way. It's so rare to find a person that is so naturally selfless and has such a beautiful heart.
"WE ARE IN ABSOLUTE AWE!..."
We had the best day of our lives and are happy that Jes and Meg were able to capture it! We finally had a chance to sit down and go through the entire gallery together and we are in absolute awe!!!!! We absolutely LOVE the pictures!! Not only were they able to capture us but they got the Best shots of our puppy, Lui!! They did such an amazing job and we have gotten nothing but complements with the pictures from the blog!"
"I CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING ANY OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS!"
"We cannot say enough about Jes and Meg. From the moment they signed on, they not only made planning a breeze (super organized) but made the entire experience fun and a dream. They were extremely professional, accommodating and super fun - oh and they are also super talented. Photos were the most important part of our wedding and I can't imagine having any other photographers there. They captured our vision exactly and I am happy to call them my friends. We will definitely be using them for photos in the future. 5++++++ stars."
