Margo was truly a joy to work with from the beginning of this process to the end! She was sweet, helpful, professional and delivered beautiful photos very quickly and at an unbeatable price! She made us feel so comfortable, which I think shows through in our photos. We are so so so happy we chose AWP for our wedding and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Margaret Brown at Affordable Wedding Portraits was amazing to work with! From the start, she made everything so easy and stress-free. Setting up a time to talk with her was a breeze, and the forms and contract were simple to fill out, which saved us a lot of time. Her prices are very affordable, which was a huge relief for our wedding budget.

Margaret is also just a fun person - relaxed, and full of helpful tips for the wedding day. During the wedding, she made everyone feel comfortable and managed to capture so many real, beautiful moments that we’ll always cherish. We even got our photos back way faster than expected!

One big tip I’d share is to be clear with Margaret about the specific photos you want. I sent her an email with a list of my must-have shots and some inspiration photos, and she made sure to get everyone. Keeping in touch with her about your photo needs really pays off.

Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Margaret is a talented and thoughtful photographer who made our wedding day easier, stress-free, and more memorable. Highly recommend!

Margo photographed our wedding July 19, and she was incredible to work with. Everything went incredibly smoothly, great pictures, and she was beyond friendly. Honestly I could not have asked for a better experience, and I am so thankful to her! She captured so many great pictures ( and we got them less than a week after our wedding)! So many people have raved about our pictures… including us! Thank you for making our day easy and for capturing who we are so well!!

We worked with Margo, and she was so much fun! She was very informative and knowledgeable. Margo helped us with our vision and also captured moments we didn’t think of! We received our proof’s promptly and are super happy with all the pictures. I would recommend Margo at AWP anytime!

She shot a wedding for one of my best friends. She did an amazing job. Captured many great moments from the night and her editing was perfect.

She was easy to work with and controlled the crowd well. Very personable and on top of things. Would totally recommend!!

I can’t recommend Margo and Maggie enough. We are not a photogenic couple, and she made sure we were positioned correctly so that our pictures turned out centered and beautiful. I honestly never thought I would see so many amazing shots of my new husband. She was direct, which is exactly what I wanted since I didn’t come with a lot of ideas. I was shocked how fast the turn around was on the pictures and everyone loves them. Her prices cannot be beat. She knew what I wanted without my even telling her. So worth it.

I am beyond disappointed with the unprofessionalism of this photography company. My wedding was on October 5th, 2024, and the photographer didn’t even show up. I can’t express how stressful and heartbreaking it is to be at one of the most important moments of your life, walking down the aisle, and realizing there’s no one there to capture it.

I initially contacted this company in March 2024, and my fiancé and I had a meeting over the phone to discuss the style of photography we were interested in. Things seemed fine at that point. However, when I called again in July to confirm details, I was shocked by the rude and disorganized attitude I was met with. The person I spoke to was dismissive, telling me she was too busy with other brides whose weddings were sooner, and that I’d get her attention closer to my date. She seemed frazzled and completely unprofessional. I hung up feeling uneasy but decided to continue with them, hoping things would improve.

I filled out a questionnaire she sent me a few weeks before the wedding, but still felt unsure. My instincts, unfortunately, were right. As I stood at the altar, the first thing I whispered to my fiancé was, “The photographer didn’t show up, right?” And sadly, he and the officiant confirmed it.

I went with this company because their prices were lower, but it’s true what they say—you get what you pay for. This was a huge mistake on my part, and I regret not trusting my gut earlier. If you’re considering hiring this company, please reconsider. Don’t find yourself in the same situation, wondering where your photographer is on your wedding day. I did get my deposit back, but it was just a bad experience from the start. I honestly don't even care that much, but I want to save another person from dealing with the disappointment, frustration, and unnecessary rudeness.

Avoid this company at all costs.
