MGM Moments

Choosing a photographer for arguably the biggest day of your life is SOOOO stressful. I was looking for someone who could match my vibe, had the same vision as me, someone who was fun and would not be awkward. I hit the absolute MOTHER LOAD with Malia. From day one she has been so attentive, supportive, and helpful in all things wedding and even some life. I was just looking for a photographer for my wedding, but I found the sweetest new friend as well! Malia has a true gift in photography. She is professional, has a vision like no other, she is kind, the ultimate hype girl and the sweetest friend. 100000/10 recommend her if you want to be made to feel like your best self in your pictures!

My favorite part of having Malia as our wedding photographer was our trip to Malibu, CA for our engagement pictures. I always dreamed of doing destination pictures but it never felt like a real possibility until Malia. She made every aspect of the trip so easy! flights, hotels, picture locations, agendas, MALIA DID IT ALL!!!!!! The pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined but the trip as a whole is something I will never forget. I love her so much it hurts!!!!!

Malia is truly one of the best photographers with a gift & eye that you can’t find anywhere else. She’s professional & over communicates what to expect and what can be done to ensure the entire day runs smoothly. She made my wedding timeline for the day which helped our day run smooth! Truly can’t think of anyone better for the job than MGM.

Where do I even start???? When I first found Malia through a recommendation of a friend I fell in love with her photography style and portfolio. I knew I wanted the photos from my wedding day to be able to be FELT. Looking through Malia's Instagram I could feel it all and knew I needed her on my Wedding Team. The first call we had was like talking to a best friend. An instant click!! For such an intimate role on my wedding day I knew I needed to feel like that and I was in luck that she was available on our day. Our package included Engagements which was where we got to first meet Malia and she was everything I thought she would be. Comfortable, joyous, kind, enthusiastic! Every communication with her about ideas for the shoot and day of the wedding was seamless, easy. The photos were STRAIGHT OUT OF A MAGAZINE! And as if I didn't already know, it was that moment I knew she was the one. And could quite literally be "the one" for anyone. Her talent is beyond measure and her personality is what makes it all that much better. Fast forward to the wedding day and we were the lucky ones to have torrential downpour all day for an outdoor wedding....Malia constantly reassured me "We are going to make magic!". It stopped raining in time for me to walk down the aisle which was such a blessing. Despite the soggy, muddy grass Malia and her second shooter Riley absolutely DOMINATED. Even the guest and Wedding party commented on their energy and vibe. The wedding came and went and I texted Malia the next day so sad that it had rained all day. My vision was to have so many outdoor photos and I felt so discouraged, despite Malia's reassurance and skills, that they weren't going to look and feel how I wanted. Malia texted me at 2am with a few sneak peeks and the sweetest message telling me she couldn't sleep without me seeing a couple pictures of how beautiful it all turned out. I woke up to that and couldn't help but cry. Not only were they unbelievably stunning and exactly what I wanted but the fact that she stayed up and edited some for me absolutely warmed my heart. THAT is who Malia is. I truly felt like Malia became my friend throughout the whole process and all I can do is plan our next photoshoot with her so we never lose touch. If you choose Malia I can guarantee it will be the best decision you ever make and you will make a friend for life.

Malia May & MGM Moments... RUNNNNN don't walk!!! Do yourself a favor and BOOK this gem of a human NOW!

The Lord placed Malia May in my life on a random Saturday night in East TX and I instantly fell in love with her!! She is the kindest, most genuine soul I have ever met and has a presence that makes you feel like you've known her your whole life. I immediately knew this girl was my type of girl. I booked her ASAP and the rest is history. Her work is magical. Her ability to capture the most authentic moments brings tears to my eyes. Her creativity will leave you speechless, her joy is infectious, and her love is felt by those around her. 

Malia makes it SO easy for her clients... She is timely, professional, and an absolute joy to work with. She truly makes an effort to know her clients, their story, and their vision. When you book with MGM Moments you are getting a heck of a lot more than a photographer... you are getting the LIFE OF THE PARTY, the girl who will let you cry the anxious tears the day of the wedding, the biggest hype girl, and a genuine friend who will make your favorite day live on forever. 

Malia May is a work of art herself. Book her, get to know her. You too will fall in love with her.
