We cannot speak highly enough of our wedding photographer Maigan. When we chose to get married in Italy, we knew we needed a photographer that would capture every detail. It can be stressful to have a destination wedding, and the last thing we needed was to be worrying about the quality of the photography. It would be a big shame to go all the way to Italy, and come back with poor wedding photos. So we scrolled through countless local Italian photographer portfolios and nothing felt right. Maybe those local photographers couldn’t capture the beauty because they were just so used to it and they no longer saw it. So we started to consider the idea of bringing our photographer with us. We’re so glad we did!
We loved Maigan’s portfolio and thought her style would be perfect for us. Our first meeting with Maigan instantly put us at ease and there was no question that Maigan is passionate about her photography. She had already thoughtfully researched the town our wedding was in and showed us some of her inspiration. As a bride, I wanted to not only showcase the beauty of the Amalfi coast, but I wanted to be happy with the photographs capturing our moments. We left that first meeting excited about how great our photographs would be!
We weren’t disappointed! Maigan cares about every detail of the photo and even coached us through body positioning to make every photo flattering! She gave clear instructions and hit every single shot that we wanted. Maigan also had great suggestions for florals and knows what is current and fashionable. There were multiple interesting location and lighting challenges that Maigan flawlessly met and knocked out of the park. Also, keep in mind that your photographer ends up spending the most time with you on your wedding day. Maigan is energetic, fun and organized. I was incredibly happy and at ease having her there.
Also, Maigan suggested we do a "day after shoot" to capture a few more locations with just my husband and I. We’re so glad we said yes! Maigan and Brad (her second shooter) scouted out multiple locations for our wedding day and for the day after shoot in a completely different town. When we received our wedding photographs we were thrilled. The candid and formal shots had a grace and sense of ease to them all. There were also gorgeously detailed shots of important items, and incredible landscape photography. I wanted to have our wedding photos look like they were from a magazine, and they did just that! They went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. After all is said and done, we feel this was the best value we got from our wedding, and felt like the money was well spent. Thank you so much to the team at Maigan Cowen Photography.
Thank you,
Raquel & Christopher

Nothing Short of Amazing
I first came across Maigan's portfolio a couple years before we were engaged. Her pictures of an acquaintance of mine's wedding came up on my Facebook and I was blown away. I followed her work for a couple of years and was amazed at her ability to photo after photo of amazing shots-for every shoot. For me this was paramount. You only get one day, once chance to capture your moments, you need a photographer up to the challenge. This is Maigan.
Amazing pictures are important, ofcourse, but it is not everything you are looking for in a photographer. You want someone who makes you feel comfortable, who works to understand you, and your vision for the day. I was lucky enough to attend a beginners photography class by Maigan ahead of our engagement (side note- I also highly recommend these classes for a beginner or not, wanting to learn and grow their skills), and I knew from that moment, she needed to be our photographer. For those who haven't met Maigan, ill try to capture her essence - her light and her passion for photography are contagious, she is personable, professional, and in general a lot of fun to be around. She is a gem!
So, it is no surprise, that we finally got engaged, Maigan was the first once I reached out too, before even setting a date. From there- it was easy. Honestly, so easy. Maigan works to understand your vision, she is responsive, and makes sure you know what to expect, and that she has all the information she needs in order to make your day go smoothly. You could not ask for more.
Overall, if you haven't gathered from the essay above (which I apologize for, but it is hard to try and do justice to the experience we had), Maigan was amazing before, during and after our wedding. We couldn't be happier with our choice to use her as our photographer and think that you would be crazy not to consider her too.

Choosing Maigan as our photographer was honestly the easiest decision we made along the way! When we got engaged, I searched all over looking into different photographers and got about 10 pictures through Maigan’s website and knew that I needed to call her. I remember calling her that night and we spent the night discussing our visions and we really just ‘clicked’! We later met up and discussed further details, Maigan came prepared with ideas on locations for our engagements pictures. Etc. She made us so excited for our special day! Our engagement pictures turned out amazing, we were blown away by Maigan’s energy, her willingness to get the perfect picture and her dedication (she was climbing over rocks and walking through streams). Maigan was a huge reason why our wedding day went so smoothly! We had a 16 person wedding party and she was able to keep all of us on track throughout all the pictures and really made the day go perfectly. Her energy and excitement the entire day clearly shows how much passion and love she has for her job and we truly couldn’t have picked a better person to capture our engagement, wedding and after shoot pictures. We honestly can’t say enough about Maigan as a person and as a photographer! Maigan is such a beautiful person inside and out and we would highly recommend her to anybody!
Maigan; thank you for everything! We are so grateful for all the pictures that we will have to cherish forever! XO
Love always, Kaylie and Kory Kuipers

Blown away!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Maigan! Maigan was the first photographer we met with and we did not need to meet with anyone else! From our first meeting, to our engagement shoot, to getting our wedding gallery, the whole experience of working with Maigan was easy and enjoyable. Maigan is so passionate about what she does and looking at her work you can tell how crazy talented she is. I loved that beyond capturing amazing photos of our wedding day she was also so organized, assertive, and helped create the timeline of our day. My husband and I are not big on having our photo taken and were unsure if we wanted engagement photos but we are so happy we did them. It gave us a chance to get comfortable with Maigan and the experience calmed our nerves about the big day because we felt SO comfortable with her. It’s hard not to when she is making you laugh and telling you how amazing you look. Our wedding photos turned out beautifully and really captured the vibe of our day. I cannot stop looking at them and I am so thankful to Maigan that we have these wonderful memories to cherish forever. You will be in great hands if choose Maigan Cowen Photography for your wedding. She is more than just a photographer she really treats you like a friend.

You’ve Found Your Photographer!!!
I’ll start this off by saying, that you’ve found your photographer. If you’ve landed here to check her out, you don’t need to keep searching; you’ve found her.
When my (then) fiancé and I started looking for a photographer, we came across Maigan in the “early stages” of exploration. :) Looking back on that now, we couldn’t be more grateful, and we realize just how lucky were were to come across her with a simple “wedding photographer London” Google search.
We needed to book a photographer close to our venue, which meant that we would likely never meet them before confirming them for the wedding, because we lived over two hours away. I can remember being so nervous about this, having decided that photos were a significant part of capturing our day and the fact that my fiancé and I are both uncomfortable with photos - they just aren’t our thing. Finding someone we were able to jive with and feel completely at ease and ourselves with, was essential. We found that in Maigan, and aside from marrying each other, hiring her was the best decision we made in planning our big day!!
We can remember falling in love with Maigan’s portfolio vividly. Her style, her use of (killer!) lighting, angles, her anything-but-posed poses, and her eye for natural settings and shots were what drew us in. She seemed to effortlessly capture the chemistry of her couples - something that was immensely important to us.
From the beginning, Maigan put our minds at ease. She made us a part of her planning, shared our vision, and providing much-needed inspiration when we needed it (and we needed a lot!). She made us feel comfortable, excited and happy every step of the way - from our engagement pictures, right through to our wedding day. She’s a meticulous planner, and covered every little detail, ensuring the day was perfect and went off without a hitch. She came to every meeting, including our wedding, with her infectious positivity, wonderful energy and totally prepared. For a hyper-organized Type A bride like myself, she was an absolute dream to work with.
Her experience and professional take-charge personality were commended by countless family members as she and her second shooter rallied our guests for photos. There was not a photo missed. Additionally, we had family share that our photographers were the most respectful and professional they had ever seen as they effortless captured our ceremony. We couldn’t agree more. Maigan was, and is, simply the best.
Maigan pushed us out of our comfort zone (in the best possible way!) with the ultimate objective of providing us with memories to last a lifetime. She delivered a gallery of photos that capture, not only us and our chemistry, but the day, the details and the feelings that we were all feeling. We couldn’t be happier and can’t more confidently recommend her and her expertise to any other couple looking for the best photographer out there.
