Darien did such a great job on my wedding day. She was punctual, flexible, and very very easy going. She was a nice person to be around, and plus she had so so many creative ideas on how we pose for the photos (everything came out wonderful). I am glad I chose her as my photographer on my big day!

About Darien Maginn Photography
On one of my earlier weddings back in 2015, a bride said something that really stuck with me and shaped my approach to weddings. While she was gushing over her photos she received, she thanked me for giving them “heirlooms” to show to her future grandkids. I was floored. It put into perspective how important it is to be present for every single moment, no matter how big or small it may be. Every wedding I shoot I can’t help but think “wow, this is probably the only time all of these people will be in the same place at the same time ever again.” And I don’t take that lightly. On top of making sure I get those ~fire~ portraits of you two, every passing moment between your lover, family, and friends will be cherished as well.

Darien is the absolute best!!!!!!! I am so happy we went with her. She was on time (even though I was late lol), she was responsive, and so nice. My family LOVED her so much. She and her second shooter, Celeste, we so much fun and so sweet. Our pictures turned out even better than I could've imagined. There is NOT one bad pic in the bunch!
The best, Darien was an absolute dream to work with. She is kind, generous, she spent many hours with... her aesthetic and her modernity are fantastic... she will sublimate you ! I highly recommend her !
Darien did a great job shooting our 90 person wedding back in November 2017. She is easy going yet professional, responds quickly to emails/texts and produces great work. She has a great eye for candids and edits her photos beautifully (no over processing or instagram-esque filters). We were also really impressed with how well she shot in our dim, candle lit venue. I would highly recommend Darien, especially to anyone looking for more natural vs. staged photos.
Darien and her assistant, Kristine were great. Exactly what we were looking for. Courteous, professional and not pushing at all. Very down to earth. Highly recommend her. Thank you for everything 😊
We contacted Darien Maginn via Thumbtack less than 2 months till our wedding day, and were pleasantly surprised that she was willing and available to take us on at such (in wedding planning standards) short notice. She responded rather quickly despite the fact that she was out of the country, soon to return. For our wedding, she was on time, she was very nice and professional, she was enthusiastically happy to be at our wedding, she was more than happy to stay the whole time till the end. She met the Bride-To-Be a few hours before the ceremony to take photographs of her getting ready. And the photos are absolutely wonderful. In the contract she says that it may take some time to get the photos as she needs to edit them - totally worth it and nothing to worry about as she also sends you a sneak peek of photos soon after the wedding. When we did receive our digital photos (as many as you could ever want) we were so happy as how they turned out! Darien Maginn is an excellent photographer - the photos are exactly what we wanted, and what we were expecting after viewing her website. She is professional, caring, passionate about her work. We wouldn't want anybody else to be our photographer. We'll definitely hire her again for future celebrations.
Darien was an absolutely perfect wedding photographer! She was able to work with us to get some absolutely beautiful photos, and was a trooper about the unseasonably freezing temperatures in early March! We absolutely love the photos we have received so far, and can't wait to see the rest. Beyond the photos, Darien and her second shooter Kristin were fun to hang out with so made the whole process enjoyable.
Everything was perfect. Darien took amazing pictures that we are thrilled about. She is very professional, has a great personality and made the photo shoot fun and enjoyable. Thank you Darien!
I can truly recommend Darien! She was able to get so amazing photos out of us - and we're the two most unphotogenic people you can find. We traveled all the way from Finland to get married in NYC, I felt so at ease on my wedding day. She was very flexible, making sure we get all the photos we wanted, and she was also affordable. I would do another photo shoot with Darien any day.
Solidifying Darien for my wedding was a dream come true. Upon viewing her website, I was totally captivated by her photography style, and I felt so lucky to have found her via Thumbtack. She has sent me some preview photos, so I have yet to receive everything, but what I have seen so far is simply beautiful, simple, romantic photos that my husband and I will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Darien!
