memories that
create a feeling
As you're probably beginning to see, I connect with my couples in a raw, genuine, and unobtrusive way. In essence, I don't dictate or direct but instead observe to discreetly cover events as they happen. I capture your day as it naturally unfolds, real moments, creating a timeless record of your day.

The Process
MAGGIE WEST MEDIA
- Bruce & Kalina
"Maggie was hired for my husband and I as a wedding present last minute, after I found out my brother wouldn't be able to make it to my wedding. You would never know because she never missed a beat come wedding day! She was extremely wonderful to work with, she captured our day perfectly and got all of our 'must have' shots beautifully. She has a beautiful personality as well as a great eye for capturing all of the memories we look forward to spending our lifetime cherishing. I was not originally planning on hiring a videographer, and as our wedding got closer I regretted that decision more and more, I'm now so happy that we will have a beautiful wedding video to cherish for the rest of our lives! I highly recommend Maggie for your videographer needs!"
"She was extremely wonderful to work with, she captured our day perfectly"
- Landon & Mikayla
"A HUGE shoutout to Maggie for the amazing videos, they were beyond what I dreamed of! She was so easy to work with... Couldn't have asked for better ... Maggie is super affordable, very professional, and has the best personality ever!! I was so lucky to find her!"
"Maggie has the best personality ever!! I was so lucky to find her!"
- Travis & Alicia
"Looking back on our day I just cannot thank Maggie enough for being her authentic, beyond helpful, beautiful self. She went above & beyond and I just can’t get over the amazing video she created from our special day."
"She went above and beyond"
How far in advance do i need to book my date?
01
Weddings: I would ideally like to (and I try) to only book 6 months out from your wedding date. 12+ months is a long time out and although the wedding industry tends to push clients to book years in advance, that is a philosophy I do not partake in! So, reach out anywhere between 6-10 months in advance to put you on my radar screen!
Regular sessions: If you have no time frame, whenever is good! Know that Spring/Fall is the busy season, but any time is totally fine. If you have a particular date you need your photos back by, please reach out within 4-6 months so that we can accurately plan your shoot!
will i have full ownership of my photos?
02
Permitted Uses of Product(s).Vendor grants to Client a non-exclusive license of product(s) produced with and for Client for personal use only so long as Client provides Vendor with attribution each time Client uses Vendor’s property. Personal use includes, but is not limited to, use within the following contexts:
In photos or videos on Client’s personal social media pages or profiles; or In personal creations, such as a scrapbook or personal gift; or In personal communications, such as a digital family newsletter or email or digital holiday card.
how long is the average turnaround for a gallery or video?
03
Depending on the package you chose, you will get a sneak peak gallery or teaser video within a week of your wedding (I know you want to 'gram it ASAP). The final wedding gallery will have a turn around of 12-14 weeks and videos have a turn around time of 16-20 weeks. This IS subject to change depending on how busy the season is for that year. I am pretty much solo when it comes to editing so bear with me if you are getting married in the busy season for weddings!
what if there is bad weather for our session?
04
We can either weather the storm or we can reschedule! If it is due to weather, I am all about rescheduling, no fees, and making sure we get the kind of weather you were hoping for! If it is your wedding day, or an event that you can't reschedule, we will do our best to work around it! We can bring clear umbrellas and maybe move things in doors. I will always do my best to make any situation turn around if I can!
do you provide the unedited raw image files?
05
I do not provide the unedited raw image/video files and here's why: raw files are unedited and straight from the camera.They don't accurately depict my photography or videography and are instead the baseline canvas of what I work on in the editing process. I edit the images to ensure they meet my quality standards, and offering the raw files will not actually be what you are hoping they are. The raw files are also large and require special software to convert into viewable images and video.
how would you describe your photography/videography style?
06
In essence, I don't dictate or direct but instead observe to discreetly cover events as they happen. I film/photograph your day as it naturally unfolds, capturing real moments and creating a timeless record of your day. Connecting with you and the wedding/session, on a personal level is hugely important in creating memorable moments of captured imagery that will last you forever. I would describe my style as soft, timeless, adventurous, raw, with luxurious feelings in more rustic environments.
