Maliah. Where do we even start! First: Book her. We couldn’t have made a better decision. Throughout the entire process, she made my husband and I feel so comfortable and relaxed which is what you want on your wedding day. She is super down to earth but also organized and extremely detail oriented. She also listened to all of our concerns before we booked and made sure that she addressed them. On our wedding day, we felt like we were interacting with and talking to one of our good friends! After the ceremony, I wasn’t sure where we would take our photos because we were in the middle of downtown Chattanooga, TN. She walked us down the sidewalk and out into the street and worked her magic, y’all! Her prompts for photos were very natural. We didn’t feel forced to make specific expressions. It was all genuine and fun (which says a lot because I don’t love the camera). Once we saw the results, we couldn’t believe it. My husband and I scrolled through the photos in awe. In a nutshell, Maliah is who you want to photograph your wedding. We love her and cannot wait to book our next session with our wedding photographer AND friend!

Maliah is YOUR photo gal! There are so many reasons I would recommend her for your photography needs. But one of the biggest reasons why we loved her so much was because she made my husband, our wedding party, our family and myself feel comfortable behind the camera. Our photos didn’t look posed because they were truly all natural, Maliah has this secret talent of making her couples laugh and smile the whole time she is shooting. She was also incredibly understanding of the rules and regulations that our Catholic Church Ceremony had. She worked hard within those regulations to still get all of the shots we had wanted. (This is so hard!!!) Not only is she professional, reliable and engaging, but her bubbly personality will make you feel like your best self on such a big day. We can’t imagine having worked with anyone else for our wedding day and would recommend to anyone who asked about a photographer. Thank you Maliah!!
