PHOTOGRAPHER / ETERNAL ROMANTIC / DREAMER

I’m the owner of MAE + CO., your wedding photographer serving Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York, and Northeast PA.

I’m a sucker for sappy movies and magical love stories, which is why capturing your unique journey makes my heart skip a beat. Whether it’s stolen glances, heartfelt laughter, or quiet, emotional moments, I’m here to freeze those precious memories in time.

With over 12 years behind the camera, my style blends editorial flair with candid charm. I’ll guide you for those picture-perfect shots but treasure the raw, unscripted moments that truly reflect your day.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME

02

01

I was born and raised in the good ol’ peach state of Georgia where we say Y’all, Yes Ma’am, No Sir, God Bless You and Thank You! Ironnically, we never ate many peaches, except my Dad’s famous homemade peach cobbler. YUM!
I am a certified elementary regular and special education teacher. I taught for 7 years before deciding to go full time into wedding photography. There are days I miss the classroom, but I am so thankful that I followed my passion for photography and am able to wake up every day excited to go to work!
I am a 100% self taught photographer. I have been taking pictures since I was about 12 years old. I remember when I received my first digital camera for Christmas and crying from excitement. My nieces & nephews were my subjects for many years to help me grow into the photographer that I am now.
I can't start my day without a 40 oz iced protein coffee. The funny thing is, it took me 37 years before I could tolerate the taste. Now, its a daily essential!!
In my downtime, you may find me binging on Reeses Dark Chocolate while reading a good book or watching FRIENDS, Big Bang Theory or Hawaii Five-0.

I’m Jessica & I have had the joy of capturing people's memories professionally since 2012.
I believe in history and that we all write our own stories. I want to be the one to capture part of your story so that you can always remember it. There are so many chapters to our lives and creating timestamps to show our families decades from now is so very important, especially in this digital world!
I am a wedding photographer, a portrait photographer, and a boudoir photographer. I love that I can help illustrate the first official chapter of memories as spouses – I cry at just about every wedding I shoot (don't look at me during the first dances). And here is something crazy: I never thought I’d shoot boudoir and now it is a passion of mine! The empowerment, confidence and self-love that the session and images help people re-find is amazing.
And let me tell you I can honestly say that I love my job! I am so lucky be able to document moments in time for my clients. I think that everyone should exist in photos. It is the only way we will be able to pull deep from our memories when we are old and our family is asking about our lives. I hope that all of my clients have a truly amazing experience working with me – I am so grateful for those who have chosen me as their photographer and I sure hope they know that.
A little bit about me? I have 2 kids and they are amazing (and crazy and loud and eaters of all-the-food), I have a four legged child named Betty (she is a black Golden Doodle and is hilariously awkward), I love sushi but don’t get to eat it enough since moving back to NEPA, I could eat pizza every single day, & floating in the pool is a fantastic form of relaxation that I don't take the time to enjoy often enough. I love sunglasses & bags of all varieties. I collect cameras and I have way too much gear. And I feel like every time I talk to clients I say things that are wildly inappropriate without even knowing it – what can I say, it is truly a skill. Thank you for taking the time to read through this!

Hey, I’m Laurie!
I’ve been married for 9 years now to my high school sweetheart Derek, & we have two sweet little babies.
Having been married in The Crayola Factory, it’s safe to say I love a wedding day that’s out of the box!
With a fun & sentimental personality and love for human emotion & connection, I’m always looking to create photographs that will put you first and make you feel and remember each moment with intensity.
The joy, happy tears and laughter; this is why I am so excited to be a part of this journey with you.

Hi there, I’m Krista!
I’ve had the pleasure of capturing weddings since 2017 and have learned so much in the last 6 years. Since I have a kind and caring husband of 8 years and 2 young children, I understand the importance of family and the memories we create together. Before I became a photographer, I worked as a guest service manager at the Philadelphia zoo and Disney World! I love cozy blankets, fresh baked cookies and exploring the outdoors with my family.
Your wedding day is all about you, and I will be your best advocate and your biggest cheerleader. Being trusted to photograph one of the most important days of your life is a job that I take very seriously. I have an attention to detail and will make sure you always look your best.
My love for the outdoors and natural beauty is evident in my photography, as I strive to bring the stunning scenery of your wedding location into every shot. Let me capture the beauty of your wedding day and create lasting memories for you and your family to treasure. Let’s create something beautiful together!

ASSOCIATE PHOTOGRAPHER
Hey, I’m Kristy! I'm so glad you’re here! I’m a photographer, a wife, a friend, a mother, and the face behind the camera. Before photography, I was a nurse and a graphic designer. I spend my "free" time watching Chicago PD and Friends on repeat. If I could live in flip-flops, jeans and hoodies, I totally would. I'm a hugger, and can talk to anyone (the lady in line in front of me will know my life story before she finishes her check-out!). I'm sweet, with a whole lotta sass! I have a serious baked goods and iced coffee problem. So, if ya bring me a donut, we'll be best friends forever! I look forward to capturing your big day!
I believe the best images come when you and your person are being yourselves - the laughs, corny jokes, and spontaneous kisses. These moments that are captured will be ones you treasure forever. The real and genuine moments between the two of you. I want to capture those exhilarating moments where nothing else matters except that moment where you are present, taking everything in, and enjoying the moment.
This is what makes for the best images in the world, and is how I will be able to capture them for you. I want you to look back on your wedding photos and be able to relive the same feelings of excitement and love that you felt on your special day. There’s an effortless style within my images and approach, telling a story with personality, heart and ease. I will always strive to give you the best experience and allow you to truly be yourselves. There’s no stiff or awkward posing, but the in-between and unexpected moments just the way it unfolds, throughout the day.
With my timeless and documentary photography style, I will capture your story in a unique way and give you the most unique, beautiful, and remarkable images with a moody & romantic vibe to them. You are unique and so is your wedding day, and it would mean the world to me to be a part of your next greatest adventure you’re about to embark on and be the one to capture your memories in a fun, easy-going, and spontaneous way. This is your day, it deserves to be remembered the way it felt!
