5 Star Review Wedding Photographers NYC

5 Star Review from the Mother of the Bride

Maring Visuals photographed both of my nieces’ weddings in New York and I was gobsmacked at the gorgeous photos they took. I knew that when my own daughter one day got married I wanted them to photograph her wedding. Flash forward to a few years later and my daughter became engaged in the midst of her father and I relocating to Savannah, Ga. As soon as my daughter and her fiancé set a wedding date and decided Savannah would serve as the backdrop to their day, I reached out to Jennifer and Charles Maring to see if we could lock them down to be our wedding photographers. Jennifer & Charles are rock stars in the NYC photography biz so we tried not to get our hopes up. Incredibly, they were available on our chosen date. More incredibly, I was informed that they had recently opened a new studio…in Savannah, Ga!! It was absolute kismet and we knew it was meant to be. From the moment we met with Jennifer and Charlie, they understood our vision for the day and assured us that we were in good hands. Throughout the planning stages, they worked with us and our wedding planner to make sure they got the most important shots and toured the church and reception venue to assess the vantage points and any lighting challenges. On the big day, they arrived early to memorialize the pre-wedding prep. Jennifer captured all the best moments with the bride and bridesmaids while Charlie was with the groom and groomsmen. For the entire day, they were so unobtrusive (the mark of professionals!) that I barely remember seeing them. However, when the proofs came back, I was amazed at all of the fantastic moments they successfully captured. Somehow they had been nowhere yet everywhere! All of the photos were gorgeous and I don’t know what kind of voodoo magic they used, but they managed to show everybody in their best light. Their photos made the bride and groom the stars of the show while giving a strong supporting role to the beautiful city of Savannah. Exactly what we envisioned! Jennifer and Charles Maring are not your average wedding photographers; they are ARTISTS. And so very kind and humble, to boot! We remain extremely honored to have had them photograph the happiest day of our daughter’s life. They were worth every penny, I assure you. If you’re lucky enough to secure them for your important event I urge you not to hesitate. Charlie & Jen, thanks for everything!
