“I’d pick Malia every time.”

“Where does one start with Malia May? A brilliant young talent. A delightful burst of exuberance. A professional committed to her craft. A woman with a vision and purpose.

For those of you who want a wedding photographer to document your day authentically and editorially, you’ve found your gal. You can stop the search. Malia is truly an artist—and combines her skills with your desires to curate a gallery of images so stunning you squeal like a child who woke up to a puppy on Christmas (literally).

Malia’s breathtaking portfolio speaks for itself. She knows exactly what she’s doing. What I wasn’t expecting when I hired Malia was that she would deliver an experience, not simply a photo gallery. I love to make decisions, it’s one of my strengths. But I didn’t realize how much decision fatigue a bride can experience (even planning a family-only wedding!). I told Malia what I generally had in mind, sent some inspiration from social media, and she took ownership of the entire process from there. She made decisions for me: scouted all the best locations, directed the long list of family photos with ease, captured every moment I envisioned, told me and my husband where and how to look, tilt, smile, not smile. It was truly stress-free from start to finish, an unexpected gift for a couple inundated with the last-minute checklists and questions. Malia takes the inherent worry of “I hope the photographer captures me at my best” out of your head.

On top of her ability to orchestrate the moving pieces of a wedding day, she did it with a contagious positivity. You can’t help but feel good about yourself when Malia is in the room. No one is more glamorous than a bride—and Malia makes sure you know it. (Who doesn’t want someone calling you radiant queen all day?). She captures the moment so beautifully to ensure you never forget the splendor of it all. And even better, she captures the moment so authentically to ensure you never forget the raw emotion—the supernatural bliss—of entering into covenant with your soulmate.

I’d pick Malia every time. “

“I have yet to meet a friend, much less photographer, that makes me feel as valued, loved, and beautiful! ”

“Malia is a ray of sunshine through and through! I have yet to meet a friend, much less photographer, that makes me feel as valued, loved, and beautiful! Not only do I have INCREDIBLE pictures, but I have even sweeter memories with my friend on three of the most important days of my life. She worked with my husband to capture our (surprise) proposal, allowed me the honor of being her first bride for bridals, and effortlessly captured every special moment of our wedding day. I didn’t think it was possible to capture all of the passionate emotions on our wedding day, but boy was I wrong. She is nothing short of incredible.”
