The Menagerie Lifestyle Photography

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. - Harriet

Breathtakingly beautiful photography
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. - Samantha

Couldn't have picked anyone better!
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! - Rebecca
