  • What is your shooting style? Click to Open

    We approach photography as an art form, capturing not just the moments, but the energy and essence of your unique love story. Our style is soulful, joyful, and authentic. We focus on highlighting your personality and the natural flow of your day, rather than relying on stiff, traditional poses.

    We blend editorial elegance with documentary storytelling, preserving both the big, unforgettable moments and the subtle, in-between details that carry the heartbeat of your wedding. Every glance, laugh, and quiet pause contributes to the energy of the day, and we take pride in documenting it all with intention, presence, and heart.

  • What is required to book my date? Click to Open

    Booking your wedding with M2 Photography is simple, intentional, and all about connection:

    1. Let’s connect. Our first step is to meet, either in person or virtually, to get to know one another and make sure we’re the perfect fit. We focus on quality over quantity, working with a limited number of couples so we can build close, personal relationships and deliver our absolute best work.
    2. The contract. Once we’re aligned, we’ll provide a contract to formalize your date and details.
    3. Deposit. A 50% deposit secures your date and confirms your commitment, allowing us to dedicate ourselves fully to capturing your story.

     

  • Do you photograph families? Click to Open

    We do and we love photographing families. Amrit and Melissa are the photographers that photograph our family sessions. We offer full family sessions as well as mini sessions.

  • Do we give out raw photos? Click to Open

    Think of it this way: chefs don’t serve raw meat, and photographers don’t deliver unedited files. Our couples hire us for our artistic vision, expertise, and attention to detail, and we put the same care into editing each image as we do capturing it.

    We believe your images deserve thoughtful, intentional finishing, so every photograph you receive is polished, timeless, and ready to treasure for a lifetime.

  • Do you carry insurance? Click to Open

    Yes, we are fully insured.

  • What if an emergency happens and you can't shoot our wedding? Click to Open

    This is something we’ve always considered and have taken seriously, long before Covid-19 was ever a thing, and have always had a backup plan in place. One of the reasons we have a team is to have each other’s backs. We also have a really beautiful and tight-knit photo community here in Philadelphia. Though we try to keep ourselves in good health, we are all human and know that sometimes things are beyond our control. We will make every reasonable effort to ensure you are taken care of.

A Flawless Experience

We had a flawless experience with M2. We worked with Audrey who was fabulous and made us feel so comfortable, free, and relaxed. I didn’t realize how important this would be. Our teasers look AMAZING. And I cannot wait to see our full gallery. I am grateful to M2 for capturing our day with such love, support, and beauty.
