We had the pleasure of Maryann as our photographer for our wedding in August. Very happy with the artistic, candid and beautifully composed moments captured to bring to life the memory of our magical day. We were most nervous about the couples photos as we didn’t organise a practice session but we were put at ease. Through gentle direction and an eye for picking nice spots at our location we have some gorgeous shots as husband and wife.

Aside from the pictures, Maryann and her husband who was there as a second photographer; also helped make the day go smoothly. At one point we couldn’t find our memory card for the camera we were filming our vows with and they saved the day with one they had. Even helped remove a splinter I managed to get lodged in my finger that morning. None of these were in their job description but the effort made to help out with the flow of the day as much as they were able was hugely appreciated.

The professionalism was unquestionable with brilliant communication and consideration for how to deal with a couple on their big day and no interruption on the celebration. Candid shots we expected and candid shots we got as for a few posed and requested ones which were relaxed and altogether have create a nice mixed gallery to remember our day with.

Would definitely recommend especially if you like the sort of moody, romantic, dramatic flair Maryann creates in her editing process.

Your wedding day. Probably one of the most profound days of your life. The special day is like a fleeting dance, a delicate balance of moments that unfold before you, never to return in quite the same way again. Being in the moment you can’t possibly take in all that is happening around you.
That is where maryann and Nathan at ‘The menagerie lifestyle photography’ take care of all that is needed. Their pictures capture those moments perfectly. not only do they deliver on those dramatically romantic portraits that every bride and groom dream to have on their wall (and on their Instagram) but they also captured the quiet moments, the family's becoming one moments.
Every time we look back though our wedding photos we noticed a little expression or an embrace in the background that we didn't see before. 'The Menagerie and lifestyle photography' truly created a time capsule for us to look back on and breathtakingly beautiful photos of us as a couple that we will treasure for a lifetime. we honestly can't rate them higher or thank them enough.

Mayann & Nathan were a fab team to have at our wedding! They captured some beautiful moments which our whole family will treasure forever. We bought a package deal with a pay monthly plan which was easy to keep track of and helped us during our budget. Thank you for being with us on our day and for supplying us back with over 800 photos-obsessed! 😍

We can't thank Maryann enough for her amazing work. She made our day extra special, capturing all the moments perfectly. The photos are stunning, from the candid ones to the posed shots. Maryann's timing was spot-on, and the digital gallery she created for us is a lovely keepsake. We are both super grateful for her talent, quick turnaround, and friendlyness. we couldnt of picked a better wedding photographer, thanks again!

Where to begin… Maryann was a superstar on our wedding day, going above and beyond and helping us with so many little things we did not think of. She absolutely captured the magic of our special day in our amazing photos, such as the emotions everyone was feeling but also capturing details we were too busy to enjoy.

We absolutely love the style of the photos, capturing so many moments we did not see ourselves on the day, which makes it that much more special, being able to see photos of our family behind the scenes. Our photos are beautiful, vibrant and edgy, everything we wanted and more!

Our couple portrait photos were incredible. Not only were they so much fun to shoot as we felt so comfortable with Maryann and her partner. The photos really captured our love, and for that I cannot praise and thank Maryann enough.

If you are looking for someone to capture your special day or another special event, look no further because The Menagerie - Lifestyle Photography captures the magic, love, happiness and all the emotions we and our guest felt.

Maryann was fantastic in every way. From the first meeting, she made us feel at ease and completely understood our brief for easy natural photos. Maryann was incredibly communicative in the lead-up to the wedding, making sure she knew everything we wanted from the day. We received our photos after the day very quickly, and the video that was also made was amazing. She not only captured memories that we will treasure forever but was a great help in the morning calming nerves and offering great advice to the Bridal party (ironing dress sashes with straighteners, incredible idea!!). I can't recommend Maryann highly enough as a wedding photographer, book her and I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Having Maryann as our photographer for multiple weddings (to the same guy, Maryann knows what we mean) has been fantastic. Maryann understood our very unconventional wedding journey right from the off with a beautiful Xmas pre photoshoot. Our registry wedding photos were perfect, and cannot wait to see our final wedding party celebration pictures.

I can't tell you how happy we are with our photos and the service they provided! They really went above and beyond to help us before the celebrations and after. They started longer than we payed and did a short video too and the quality of the photos are perfect and just what we wanted. Definitely pick them!!!

Maryann was amazing! We had lots of communication in the run up to the wedding and she really listened to our preferences for less traditional shots. She stayed super late and got so many good photos, too many to count! She facilitated our first look and managed to make a rainy day look stunning. 100% would recommend her services.

Maryann and her husband are incredible photographers. The photos they have produced for us are wonderful. They're also very adept at working around the complexities for wedding, knowing how to blend in and avoid being noticed, while producing incredible photos. They're both lovely people and we're so glad we hired them.

Maryann was perfect from start to finish. We instantly felt at ease and really couldn't have asked for anyone better to document our special day! She completely fit in with the relaxed, laid back vibe of the day and we're so happy with how everything went. Maryann was more than just the photographer on our day, she helped with so many of the small details and helped out massively when I was getting ready, including helping me use the steamer for the first time! We're thrilled with how the pictures came out! Would 1000000% recommend!

We had our wedding back in May and Maryann and her husband were so wonderful. They were both discreet when required and so supportive (special thanks to Maryann for holding on to my vows before the ceremony!). They captured such lovely moments in our wedding, many of which were unposed and captured all the love and joy of the day. We're grateful for the sheer number of quality pictures we now have to remind us of our big day.

Neither of us are fans of having our photos taken but we were made to feel so comfortable, I ended up enjoying having the photos done and the pictures have turned out better than we could have expected! I would recommend to anyone.

What can I say about Maryann. Words cannot describe her professionalism and the artistry of her work. She and her partner went above and beyond for us and gave us what we needed and more.

Maryann was amazing on my wedding day. The day wouldn't have been the same without her & Nathan. To say they were helpful would be a huge understatement. Going above and beyond, nothing was too much trouble and they really listened to what we wanted. We didn't feel pressured or uncomfortable at any point (which were anxieties I had pre-wedding). We didn't want "staged" photographs, we wanted natural shots of us & our loved ones enjoying our day, which is exactly what we got. From photos of all our little details, to photos of our dogs, our guests, the venue, and beautifully relaxed couple shots, they covered everything! Mayann's style of photography is right up my street and we weren't disappointed. All of our guests commented on how lovely and friendly they were. Overall amazing experience! Thank you both so much!
