Kind Words

It’s been a while since we had a chance to recognize and say thank you for all the love and support our couples have provided us. Today, we wanted to get back on track and start saying thank you more. Client reviews and recommendations are how we continue to do what we love. Thanks to the couples we work with, their endless support and constant kindness, we have a smashing reviews collection. When new, interested couples contact us they will almost always ask for a link to some reviews of our previous work. When we send them to our Wedding Wire reviews page, we are grateful for the kindness our couples have shown us. A great review means everything to us. It means you loved working with us as much as we loved working with you. It means we did our job. It means we made you happy. And it means we get to continue to do this incredible job again with someone new. So thank you again to all of the couples who have left us such wonderful reviews. Your kind words never go unnoticed. Here are just a few more that we want to say thank you for. There are so many more to share, and we’ll be doing that much more regularly .

 

As you can see these are from Fall of last year! Ah! We are behind!

 

Ashley and Brad:

WOW! This is the word that comes to mind when we think of Maggie and Betty. They are the absolute most amazing mother-daughter team. We were nervous starting out the whole wedding process in an area neither one of us had grown up in so we were not familiar with any of our vendors. We just happened to attend one of the bridal shows for fun. We each had our few important areas of the wedding that we wanted to be able to ensure we each were able to encompass. The most important aspect for me was the photographer and the photos as the photos tell the story of one of the most important days of your life! We immediately fell in love with Team Maggie and Betty and their work. They set our mind at ease from our first meeting at Starbucks to our amazingly cold but well worth engagement session at the Jefferson Memorial which I might add a sidebar. We thought we were timing our engagement photos to be exactly when the cherry blossoms in DC would bloom however mother nature decided to drop the temperature in the 30s that particular day, but despite the weather, Maggie and Betty made us completely forget about the cold weather and the lack of cherry blossoms as the photographs and experience were absolutely astonishing. Needless to say, it left us excited and in suspense for what they would do on our actual wedding day! They exceeded our expectations ten fold! Maggie and Betty were with us every step of the way leaving you feeling like you were working with your own sister and mother. They have this dynamic with each other that makes your photographs not only photographs but captured unforgettable moments. Birds of a Feather is so fitting down to every single detail (trust me, you will want to see the little surprise details.) Maggie and Betty made our entire wedding experience exactly what we had hoped for and more. We will cherish every wedding moment for the rest of our lives simply because Team M and B captured every memorable detail through their eyes. 11/1~Team Brashley~

 

Katie and Matt:

We LOVE birds of a feather photography. Maggie and Betty are incredible, amazing photographers, and their work is stunning.

We really had no choice with wedding photographers – once we saw Maggie and Betty’s work online, we were hooked. And after we stalked them at a bridal expo and found out how amazing they are? We had to have them. It was the best decision we could have made.

They’re wonderful women, chock-full of talent, cheer, and good humor. Working with them was such a pleasure – they were patient and endlessly helpful with our zillions of questions.

During our engagement session, they laughed and joked, making us feel completely comfortable even though they were photographing us at the same time. The results were great – no awkwardness, we just looked natural, like Betty and Maggie had just stumbled upon us randomly and happened to take some pictures. The same thing for our wedding day! Our friends and family were so impressed with how professional yet friendly and inviting they were. During the ceremony and reception, they were all over, taking photos of everything and seeming to be in every place at once. As if they hadn’t been incredible enough, our finished photographs were delivered in a ridiculously short amount of time: we got married on a Saturday, and we had the photos the following Thursday. They worked overtime to get them back to us so quickly, and we were blown away by the amount of time and effort they’d put into us and into our wedding photos. Maggie and Betty went far above and beyond our expectations, and we are so grateful and appreciative, and feel so lucky, to have had them as our wedding photographers.

Our photos are spectacular. Maggie and Betty captured the spirit of our wedding, the joy and happiness, the love and excitement and fun. Our photographs are priceless, and we treasure them.

Thank you, thank you, Maggie and Betty! We can’t recommend you more highly!

 

Megan and Spencer:

True story: I met Maggie and Betty at a bridal show with a friend before I was even engaged myself. Though I felt a proposal was imminent, I didn’t want to “count my chickens,” so to speak . . . but I remember being so taken with the ladies themselves and their powerful, incredible images that I had to pull up their website for my then-boyfriend (perhaps as a little nudge!).

Fast-forward a few months and, when I officially did get engaged, the ladies of Birds of a Feather were the very first vendors we contacted. Before we had a venue, a “theme,” a color scheme — heck, even a wedding date! — I was emailing Maggie because I simply knew we had to have them at our big day.

Really. awesome. decision.

From our very first meeting over coffee to our many emails back and forth in the months leading up to our wedding, Betty and Maggie showed time and again why they’re so beloved by clients (who become friends). Honestly, I can’t picture any other photographers going through this process with us — and aside from their warmth and professionalism, they’re simply incredibly fun and talented women who produce fantastic work.

Hiring Birds of a Feather means you won’t be “hiring vendors” so much as inviting friends to your awesome party, and we feel very fortunate to have met this sweet and talented mother/daughter team. The wedding day photos themselves were in our hands less than a week after our event . . . which is just, like, seriously insane. INSANE. I’ve spent hours pouring through them to relive the magic of our day, and I would sing their praises from every rooftop in Southern Maryland!

If Maggie and Betty’s work speaks to you, reach out. Get on the books. You won’t regret it — and will have a lifetime to relive your fine photographic decision, you brilliant bride-to-be, you.

 

Emily and Lee:

Maggie and Betty, are beyond phenomenal. They are not only amazing photographers but great people that make you feel like family. I don’t need to say much about their photos because they speak for themselves. Their work is elegant and impeccable. They captured every detail including shots that I would never imagine I wanted but glad they got. My husband and I are completely blown away with the outcome of our photos, we were completely speechless. I will forever be indebted to Maggie and Betty on their fantastic job capturing our wedding.

On top of their amazing photography, they are also great people to work with. They are VERY organized and dependable. They are laid-back and extremely friendly, but take their work very seriously. They worked hand and hand with our day of coordinator to create a day of timeline. They reorganized the timeline as weather and daylight changed. They helped keep everything on schedule, made sure we got all the pictures we wanted, were always direct and communicative. We received all pictures (over 700 shots) less than week after the wedding. It was amazing to see every detail when you’re still on the wedding day high.

When we initially met with Maggie and Betty, we were happy with our decision but after shooting the engagement session and wedding there is no words for our excitement with our photos and our new friendship. These ladies are the embodiment of what you want in a wedding photographer. We have recommended them to all our friends.

 

Beth and Jake:

I can honestly say one of the highlights of my wedding was working with this photographer!

They were so helpful and flexible during all the planning. During the wedding they were comfortable and such good sports about pictures in the freezing temperatures. I would recommend that any bride hire them!

We had pictures taken with each family that came to our wedding and it was amazing to see group pictures turn out great for every group!

Their editing is so pretty, very natural but still very professional pictures.

They give you all the photos on a flash drive and a link to a website that your family can use to download full size pictures from, that alone puts them head and shoulders above other photographers!

I even found out they came and stayed in the city the night before my wedding since there was a terrible storm they wanted to be close by the Tabard. They were just the very best!
