Magdalena Studios is a boutique photography studio with a focus on preserving authentic moments in an effortless, joyful manner, and an emphasis on providing a high-level professional service. Our studio has collected some of the best East Coast based artists, who are able to focus on connecting with their subjects while our in-house team handles logistics, details, and day-to-day tasks, from emails to editing. This allows us to deliver consistent results, quick communications, noteworthy organization, and secure back-up methods, alongside our signature imagery. 

We believe that every subject deserves an individualized experience. Every stress, worry, and fear about your photographer being burnt out, not responding to an email, or any other slight mishap is all taken into account with our studio approach and years of expertise. Rest assured you will receive heirloom-quality work (what we’re known for!), and an unforgettable relationship with your photography team. (Peep our reviews to hear it from others for yourself.)

Because of our agency-style approach that allows our artists to singularly focus on their craft, they are able to bring limitless enthusiasm, positivity, and joy to each endeavor. They are experts in helping to settle butterflies, providing subtle and flowing direction when necessary, and organically capturing beautiful, real-life moments as they unfold. Our calming energy and expertise have prepared us to craft magical imagery, ease nerves, and evoke intimate moments, while our professional standards and in-house studio team ensure a customized, luxury process.

With over a decade of time spent perfecting our processes and craft, we've meticulously refined our recipe for providing the best of both worlds: a consistent product paired with an impeccable customer experience. Because throughout this journey, you deserve nothing less than the best of the best.

Each photographer on our team works with us for a number of years prior to becoming a trusted team member. After being carefully chosen to understudy—ensuring their professionalism, personalities, and work aesthetic align with and represent our mission, values, style and overall vibe—we work one-on-one to refine their craft prior to turning over our esteemed brand to their hands. Our behind-the-scenes team manages all aspects of the details leading up to your wedding day, in addition to directing our post-processing (editing and album design) to ensure each and every photograph matches our signature Magdalena Studios style from start to finish. Learn more about how it works when you're in the hands of an entire studio.

04. Engagement session

We always recommend including an engagement session in your experience as it's not only an excuse for more stylistically-aligned photos, but also a great time to get comfortable in front of the camera and get to know your photographer (this is once in a lifetime, after all!).

We see such a difference in comfort levels in front of the camera when our couples schedule an engagement session, so we can't emphasize this enough. If you schedule an engagement session, we are here help you decide on a location and any outfit/wardrobe decisions!

You may have already connected with your photographer through an engagement session, but we still like to take the time to connect you to schedule a time to meet ahead of the big day. Typically, the timeline and logistical details are finalized with our behind the scenes team, but on the call with your lead photographer, you will be able to chat through any questions you have, preferences, and photo requests that may still be top of mind! It's great to get some face time with your photographer prior to the event day, so we always encourage this meeting.
