Happy Friday! We want to give a huge thank you to all of the couples who have left us such amazing reviews. We will never be able to thank you enough for your kindness. Because of you, we get to continue doing what we love… and for that we are eternally grateful.

 

Betty and Maggie are the absolute best! As soon as I saw their work, I was so anxious hoping they would be available for our wedding. After meeting them for the first time, I felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing they would fit in perfectly with our families and friends!

Betty and Maggie were so sweet during the months leading up to our wedding, they are very responsive and its clear they really care about their clients. They were super helpful in determining locations for our engagement shoot and were so enthusiastic when we wanted to include our dog!

They worked seamlessly with our wedding planner in figuring out our day-of schedule and took extra time to scope out locations at our hotel and ceremony venue as they hadn’t worked there before. On the day of the wedding, they were instrumental in calming down the anxious and excited groom and were always in the right place at the right time!

Most amazingly, we had our photos (all 700!) back before we returned from the honeymoon, I don’t know if they even slept for a week! My husband and I spent hours going through the photos one by one, it is such a gift to have our most treasured moments captured so beautifully by Betty and Maggie! They took our breath away!

Having photos on a flash drive AND website to share with family and friends is perfect, and we’ve been able to share the link to their blog for friends and colleagues who just want to see the highlights. Overall, I can’t say enough how wonderful it was to work with Betty and Maggie. On such a monumental day, it was amazing to have such kind, talented and professional ladies spend it with us, capturing all our favorite moments — the intimate, the spiritual, the joyous and the funny!

To Betty and Maggie, I don’t know how I can ever thank you enough for capturing the happiest day!

Betty and Maggie of BOAF photography have been a pleasure to work with throughout our wedding planning process. During both our engagement session and “posed” wedding photos they made us and our family/friends feel very comfortable. My husband hates having his picture taken and even he didn’t mind being photographed by M&B! We felt very well taken care of by them. Throughout our wedding ceremony several guests came to us to say how much they enjoyed our photographers!

After all was said and done, I anticipated to receive our photos maybe 3 weeks after the wedding, not 5 days! I gasped when I got that e-mail out of sheer excitement and surprise! On top of being fast, the photos came out beautifully! When it came time to choose our album photos we struggled with what photos to choose as there were so many wonderful/beautiful/hilarious shots! I thoroughly look forward to seeing these photos in print soon and I am sure I won’t be disappointed!

Betty and Maggie blew me away with the services provided. I never had to worry about any of the details. They quickly responded to every email. Throughout the whole planning process, Birds of a Feather new exactly the questions to ask in order to perfectly plan the wedding day timeline. As two people who had never been married before and hadn’t attended many weddings, we had a lot of questions about how the usual flow worked and how everything would come together. Betty and Maggie spent the time to reassure us and assist us with planning. They went over and above to help us stay calm and comfortable during the planning process. We even received and free movie night voucher with popcorn, candy, and sweet note. Ultimately, on the wedding day, Betty and Maggie were amazing. Everything was done on a schedule. There was a plan and a order and I never felt rushed or crazy even though there was so much to get done. They took so many pictures behind the scenes. They were so professional and at they same time they felt like friends. Every single picture I could’ve hoped to have was taken. Even the ones I would have never thought of. In less than a week after the wedding I had an email telling me all of our pictures were ready!!! I’m talking over 600 pictures!! We arrived home from our honeymoon to a box from Birds of a Feather already! The quality of the pictures is absolutely amazing! I’ve never felt so beautiful! For the price you pay on photographers nowadays the packages that Birds of a Feather offers are extremely reasonable and I can promise you what you get for your money is more than worth it. I would recommend Birds of a Feather Photography to everyone in the DC area.

From the first email, Betty and Maggie were all in. Betty wrote back immediately to my first contact with a warmth and enthusiasm that they both kept up from start to finish. I really felt like they were committed to our wedding and really shared our vision, especially the focus on our families.

From the conversations with my mom in their adorable studio to the many emails that went back and forth, all the way through the engagement shoot and the big day–it felt like we had 2 more friends and family members joining in (only they were taking amazing pictures the whole time!)

They helped me get in my dress, they helped herd my relatives around, they even backed off an aggressive group of church gardeners, and we were smiling and laughing so much we didn’t notice them clicking away getting the most special shots of the people we love so much.

I absolutely treasure every beautiful photograph they took. Which, by the way, they had for us available online and on their way to us via mail less than a week after the wedding!

We are so grateful to Maggie and Betty and really feel like we made new friends out of the whole deal. Oh! I won’t spoil the other surprises for any new birds out there, but they also sent us very touching, timely, and thoughtful goodies in the months leading up to the wedding.

We really can’t thank Betty and Maggie enough for the absolutely stunning pictures and all the fun we had together.

From the first time we met Betty and Maggie through our wedding date and after, Birds of a Feather remain one of our best investments for our wedding. Our engagement session and wedding photos surpassed our expectations. Not only did we receive the pictures within a week of the date, but the photos were stunning! Betty and Maggie are two of the kindest people we have met, and have amazing stamina as well (we had two wedding ceremonies in one day)! We highly recommend Birds of a Feather, and wouldn’t have changed a thing about the entire process.

We absolutely loved our experience with Birds of a Feather Photography! We cannot imagine having better wedding photos, not to mention the end result of our relaxed and fun engagement shoot.

But perhaps the best part of working with Betty and Maggie is that it’s not just about the final product, it’s also about enjoying the time you spend with them. These two really take the time to get to know you and ultimately become more like trusted friends than photographers. Though neither of us particularly like being the center of attention, we found ourselves being so comfortable around Betty and Maggie, and the proof is in the great photos they were able to capture.

They say that birds of a feather flock together, and it sure seems that this mother-daughter team enjoys practicing their art in one another’s company. After our initial meeting and early into our engagement photo shoot, we felt like we were part of that family too. Though neither of us would have imagined this scenario when we were deciding on photographers, we were able to let our guard down because Betty and Maggie put us at ease and never felt intrusive with their process. You get the sense that they really captured who we are as a couple.

We continue to get compliments on our pictures and really feel lucky that Birds of a Feather was there for our wedding – and along the way, too. Their pictures will be framed and part of photo books that we cherish in our home and give as gifts to family members. From getting ready with our bridesmaids and groomsmen, to the ceremony, more formal shots, and the reception – all the photos are phenomenal!

We couldn’t give Betty and Maggie higher praise and enthusiastically recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area!
