KELEE's PORTFOLIO
YOU'RE GETTING way more THAN JUST A PHOTOGRAPHER WHEN YOU BOOK WITH THIS TEAM. YOU'RE GETTING A VENDOR AND COMPANY WHO ACTUALLY CARES deeply ABOUT THEIR COUPLES. KELEE WAS A GEM the DAY OF THE WEDDING.
— MAGGIE & BRIAN
“I can't even begin to explain how happy we were with Magi and her team. Kelee was our head photographer. When we met Kelee for our engagement photos we felt like we were hanging out with a friend. My husband was even having a good time! About 2 months before my wedding my mother got diagnosed with cancer and wasn't going to be here for the wedding and ended up passing a month before the wedding. Magi and her team were so supportive of the pain of was going through and tried to help in any way. They sent me the cutest charm to add to my bouquet so my mom would be with me when I walked down the aisle. You're getting way more than just a photographer when you book with this team. You're getting a vendor and company who actually cares deeply about their couples. Kelee was a gem the day of the wedding. She knew the day was going to be very emotional and was so supportive. And got the best shots. Brian and I were over the moon with our pictures. We just received our hard wedding album and couldn't be happier. I would want to get married all over again just to work with Magi and her team. Magdalena Studios is like family."
KELEE WAS amazing TO WORK WITH - OUR SCHEDULE WENT SO SMOOTHLY AND THE PHOTOS ARE absolutely BREATHTAKING.
— ELLEN & KEVIN
"Before I got engaged I had seen photos of Magi&teams work and was in awe - I just knew whenever the day came they were who I wanted to capture my wedding. The night we got engaged they were the first vendor we reached out to. Hiring Magdalena Studios was one of the best decisions we made. Kelee was our lead photographer and from the moment we met her for our engagement photos she just felt so familiar and we were so comfortable with her. My fiancé (now husband) enjoyed the entire engagement shoot, and was in awe when we got the photos back. The engagement photos alone, made our families (and us) emotional and we had so many comments from friends and guests who had seen the photos on our wedding website about how amazing they were. We added on rehearsal coverage and had Kelee the night before the wedding which was amazing to get some photos that we maybe wouldn’t get the next day, or just some different portraits of my husband and I. Everyone at the Welcome Dinner came up to me to tell me how absolutely great Kelee was. When wedding day came we had Mike as our second shooter with the guys and my husband kept saying how great he was and how all the guys were relaxed and comfortable during their get ready and groomsmen photos. Kelee was with me wedding morning after doing our details shots and was so calm and on it for every shot she wanted to get - I was completely at ease when she arrived. We got our previews back the other day and I have no words. Kelee was amazing to work with - our schedule went so smoothly and the photos are absolutely breathtaking. Magdalena Studios was a wedding decision I would make every time if I had to do it all over again, and my husband is already talking about how he wants to have them take more photos of us and future milestones for years to come. 100/10 would recommend."
