Valerie Tighe

“Maks photographed my wedding and our photos turned out phenomenally. He was very talented at guiding us into creative poses that felt and looked so natural. He has such a great eye for backdrops and lighting and we have hundreds of unique portraits! He was great at keeping us on schedule and wrangling our families so that we got every single group shot we needed. The photos of the ceremony completely captured our personalities, the humor, and somehow made everyone's happy tears look flattering. The photos of the reception make my DIY wedding look gorgeous and captured every little detail that I want to remember. He was great to work with throughout the whole process, from planning, to day-of, to delivering photos quickly afterwards!”
