What my clients say
We have hired Marie for maternity, 1st birthday pictures, family pictures, birthday parties and newborn shoots. Every experience has been phenomenal. She is able to capture the most beautiful moments even with wild toddlers and make the whole experience stress free. If you are looking to have professional family pictures done she is the best and you will have the best experience!
Your work is truly amazing and you always have an eye for capturing beautiful moments!
You were definitely meant to be in this field of work as a photographer you will always be our photographer because not only are you great at what you do but you make it so easy for us to be ourselves and you are so patient with Jax!
Marie took our family portraits over the summer. She captured our family perfectly. I would totally recommend her!
Working with her was fun and joyful! Lots of laughter! She knew exactly how to make us feel like we were all just hanging out. I’m in love with the candid-style photos she took of our family.
I had the most beautiful experience being photographed with my baby girl and my mom. It felt so natural and relaxed, like we were just spending a lovely day together. She has this easygoing energy that made us all feel at ease, and that really comes through in the photos. I’ll treasure these memories forever. The way she captured our bond was just amazing. I can’t recommend her enough!
Marie was highly recommended to us by a dear friend while looking for a local Fox valley photographer for our baby shower. She was quick to reply with pricing models and logistics with the initial inquiry, and subsequently made sure that our preferences for the experience were clearly delineated. She was very well prepared for the event prior to the day-of, and knew what we wanted captured (i.e. ceremonies, candids, decorations, etc). On the day, she was incredibly professional and sweet to work with - she was quick to adapt, and captured all of the moments beautifully. I find myself going back to review the pictures in the gallery over and over again, with such fondness and awe - Marie really understood the assignment and captured the feeling in the environment that day. She went above and beyond with her end-product, the photos are gorgeous and encapsulated the entire event. She delivered what we wanted, more than we expected, and was exceptionally kind and charismatic to work with in this setting. I would highly recommend her services, and I know we'll be coming back to her for future events. Thank you so much to Marie Woods Photography!
Our wedding photos are beyond anything we could have imagined. Every single photo is beautiful, but what makes our experience with her so special goes far beyond her incredible talent behind the camera.
Marie is beyond kind, thoughtful, and genuinely warm. From the very beginning, she took the time to really get to know us and understand exactly what we wanted. She was intentional about narrowing down our vision, asking the right questions, listening to what was important to us, and making sure our photos reflected us and the kind of memories we wanted to have. She communicated with us throughout the entire process and made us feel so cared for from beginning to end.
One of the things that meant the most to us was the way she spoke about our village of love and the people who surrounded us on our wedding day. She said some of the kindest and most meaningful things about our people that we have ever heard. It was so clear that she wasn’t just there to take pictures, she genuinely cared about the people, the love, and the meaning behind the day.
That is what makes her work so incredible. She doesn’t just see a photo. She sees emotion. She sees connection. She sees the little moments that you might not even realize are happening. She captures the feeling of a moment, not just what it looked like.
Because of her, we now have pieces of our wedding day that we can hold onto forever. We can look at these photos years from now, sit with our future children, and tell them the stories behind them. That is such an incredible gift.
If you are looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented, but who brings genuine warmth, kindness, thoughtfulness, and heart into your wedding day, look no further. We are SO grateful she was the person who captured our love story.
Marie photographed both our engagement session and our wedding day, and we truly couldn’t have chosen a better photographer.
There are so many important decisions when planning a wedding, but choosing the person who will capture your memories is one of the most meaningful ones—because these are the photos you’ll look back on for the rest of your life. And choosing Marie was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made.
She has a true gift for creating magic in every photo. She pays attention to every little detail, captures the emotions and the moments you might otherwise miss, and somehow makes every picture feel so natural and beautiful. Most importantly, she makes you feel completely comfortable and allows you to simply be yourself. With Marie, taking photos never felt forced or stressful—it felt like enjoying the moment.
Looking through our photos, we can relive our engagement and wedding day all over again. Every image tells a story and brings back a feeling, and that is something we will treasure forever.
There truly aren’t enough words to describe how incredible Marie’s work is. We would choose her a thousand times over, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will not only take beautiful photos, but capture the heart and emotion of such an important season in your life.
Thank you, Marie, for giving us memories we will cherish for a lifetime!
