Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Maggie + Patrick Nolan. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Maggie + Patrick, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s start with a story that highlights an important way in which your brand diverges from the industry standard.
We are the only husband/wife photography team that double dates their couples post engagement session. We do this because we feel that wedding photography is intimate, personal, and this allows us to break any barrier and to build trust and build a relationship with our couples. It impacts the wedding day and empowers us to do what we do well since our clients don’t view us solely as a contracted vendor.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
Hi! We are husband/wife wedding photography team out of Baltimore MD. We’ve been shooting weddings full time since 2014. We have shot over 300 weddings since then and have the most amazing clients on the planet (that’s how we feel)!
We specialize in weddings, love stories and romance! We help our clients plan a day with photography in mind so they actually have an incredible photo story post wedding but have the best wedding day too!
We love that we’ve been able to come alongside 300 couples! That’s living our best life and a dream come true.
We are hoping for more adventures, destination sessions across the globe not just in our nation. We are pumped to be doing podcasts, youtube videos to educate brides and other wedding photographers too!
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
Ummm…. the pandemic! We shot 30 weddings in 2020 soon after Maryland started opening up again. But we also rescheduled 30 weddings into 2021. 2021 was a hellacious year for us. We had to figure out how to manage 56 weddings last year… when 40 weddings is normally our max. But we did it. We may have been exhausted in 2021 but 56 amazing couples got married!
How’d you meet your business partner?
My Husband! Yes! Patrick is my husband and business partner. We met in church. We were both photographers. I didn’t train him or make him shoot with me. He wanted to, we together built our business and can’t believe we’ve shot 300 alongside each other!
