"My ultimate inspiration to push the boundaries of my comfort zone & evolve in this ever-changing industry stems for hearing my clients feedback after viewing their wedding images for the first time..."

BRENNAN & JOSH SOLECKY

"I’ll start this off by saying, that you’ve found your photographer. If you’ve landed here to check her out, you don’t need to keep searching; you’ve found her. When my (then) fiancé and I started looking for a photographer, we came across Maigan in the “early stages” of exploration. Looking back on that now, we couldn’t be more grateful, and we realize just how lucky were were to come across such an amazing woman with a simple “wedding photographer London” Google search. We needed to book a photographer close to our venue, which meant that we would likely never meet them before confirming them for the wedding, because we lived over two hours away. I can remember being so nervous about this, having decided that photos were a significant part of capturing our day and the fact that my fiancé and I are both uncomfortable with photos - they just aren’t our thing. Finding someone we were able to jive with and feel completely at ease and ourselves with, was essential. We found that in Maigan, almost immediately (and over email!) and aside from marrying each other, hiring her was the best decision we made in planning our big day. We can remember falling in love with Maigan’s portfolio vividly. Her style, her use of (killer!) lighting, angles, her anything-but-posed poses, and her eye for natural settings and shots were what drew us in. She seemed to effortlessly capture the chemistry of her couples - something that was immensely important to us. From the beginning, Maigan put our minds at ease. She made us a part of her planning, shared our vision, and providing much-needed inspiration when we needed it (and we needed a lot!). She made us feel comfortable, excited and happy every step of the way - from our engagement pictures, right through to our wedding day. She’s a meticulous planner, and covered every little detail we needed to ensure the day was perfect and went off without a hitch. She came to every meeting, including our wedding, with her warmth, humour, infectious positivity, wonderful energy and was totally prepared. For a hyper-organized Type A bride like myself, she was an absolute dream to work with. Her experience and professional take-charge personality were commended by countless family members as she and her second shooter rallied our guests for photos. There was not a single photo missed. Additionally, we had family members share that our photographers were “the most respectful and professional they had ever seen” as they effortless captured our intimate ceremony. We couldn’t agree more. Maigan was, and is, simply the best. Maigan pushed us out of our comfort zone (in the best possible way!) with the ultimate objective of providing us with memories to last a lifetime. Just what we wanted. We’ve only seen teasers from the big day, and we know she is going to deliver a gallery of photos that captures, not only us and our chemistry, but the day, the details, the people we love most, and the feelings that we were all feeling. We can’t wait!!!

RAQUEL & CHRISTOPHER TERRY

"We cannot speak highly enough of our wedding photographer Maigan. When we chose to get married in Italy, we knew we needed a photographer that would capture every detail. It can be stressful to have a destination wedding, and the last thing we needed was to be worrying about the quality of the photography. It would be a big shame to go all the way to Italy, and come back with poor wedding photos. So we scrolled through countless local Italian photographer portfolios and nothing felt right. Maybe those local photographers couldn’t capture the beauty because they were just so used to it and they no longer saw it. So we started to consider the idea of bringing our photographer with us. We’re so glad we did!  We loved Maigan’s portfolio and thought her style would be perfect for us. Our first meeting with Maigan instantly put us at ease and there was no question that Maigan is passionate about her photography. She had already thoughtfully researched the town our wedding was in and showed us some of her inspiration. As a bride, I wanted to not only showcase the beauty of the Amalfi coast, but I wanted to be happy with the photographs capturing our moments. We left that first meeting excited about how great our photographs would be!  We weren’t disappointed! Maigan cares about every detail of the photo and even coached us through body positioning to make every photo flattering! She gave clear instructions and hit every single shot that we wanted. Maigan also had great suggestions for florals and knows what is current and fashionable. There were multiple interesting location and lighting challenges that Maigan flawlessly met and knocked out of the park. Also, keep in mind that your photographer ends up spending the most time with you on your wedding day. Maigan is energetic, fun and organized. I was incredibly happy and at ease having her there.  Also, Maigan suggested we do a "day after shoot" to capture a few more locations with just my husband and I. We’re so glad we said yes! Maigan and her second shooter scouted out multiple locations for our wedding day and for the day after shoot in a completely different town. When we received our wedding photographs we were thrilled. The candid and formal shots had a grace and sense of ease to them all. There were also gorgeously detailed shots of important items, and incredible landscape photography. I wanted to have our wedding photos look like they were from a magazine, and they did just that! They went above and beyond to exceeded our expectations. After all is said and done, we feel this was the best value we got from our wedding, and felt like the money was well spent. Thank you so much to the team at Maigan Cowen Photography."

 

REBECCA & CODY GELDART

 I wanted to write a thorough review for Maigan, because she truly captured every moment of our day. She made Cody and I, and our entire family so happy! Not only does she have amazing talent, but she’s such a sweet person. She’s energetic and passionate about what she does. It’s so nice to be around someone who enjoys what they are doing, and I think that with her energy and excitement, our photos turned out just that much better. It really felt like we had another friend there with us throughout all of the crazy wedding planning and on the big day. She’s also extremely organized, wants things done a certain way, and if you are Type A just like her, she is the perfect photographer for you. And if you are looking for classic, elegant, amazing quality photos.... you would be crazy not to hire her (that is if you are lucky enough to able to book her!).  Let’s start off with the engagement photos. I was SUPER nervous. Neither Cody or I had done professional photos before, and we had no idea what to expect or how to pose etc. However, she has such an amazing eye for light and nature, that the pictures turned out better then I had ever hoped for. She also was meticulous about poses, and told us exactly what to do, where to go and how to position your body... and because of that we have the most amazing photos, and actually made us look like we knew what we were doing. I am so happy that we decided to do engagement photos, because it really was a great “practice” run for the big day.  Now.  The WEDDING. I LOVE THESE PHOTOS SO MUCH. It’s been a week since I received the album and I still look at them every single day from beginning to end. Maigan seriously went above and beyond to capture every single detail of the day. She was so focused on her work and it is evident if you look through our wedding collection. From start to finish, there is a picture of every single moment. Which I will forever be grateful for, and this is something I will be able to hold onto for the rest of our lives. Maigan would go to lengths to find the perfect shot, whether it be searching on Kijiji for the perfect vintage couch, or suggesting we climb a massive hill. She’s so creative and talented - just listen and do exactly what she says! Going through our album, there was not one photo that I said “oh I don’t like that one”. She made sure that every single picture was perfect. She caught so much emotion throughout the day, and it really just reminded us of how we felt in that moment. My mom cried when she saw the pictures, I went through them for HOURS just smiling, the only problem is ... it’s too hard to pick your favourites. I honestly can’t speak highly enough about her personality, her final product, and professionalism. Our wedding album is something that I’ve never seen before! I am so thankful that I found her and can’t ever thank her enough!!!"

BRETT & SARA FISCHER

"Having Maigan as our photographer for our wedding day was the best decision we could have made. I had seen her work a year earlier at a good friend’s wedding and was in awe of how beautifully the day was captured. As soon as I was engaged my first email was to Maigan to check her availability. It seems like it was meant to be, because we already had out date set, and as is turns out that was also the only free Saturday of the month that Maigan had left. During our first meeting, Maigan’s personality was infectious. She was so warm and welcoming and I instantly felt like I was catching up with an old friend. I had warned Maigan that neither my husband nor I are overly photogenic, she told me not to worry and that she would ensure we would look amazing on the big day. It was a lot of fun meeting up with Maigan at our scout a few weeks before the wedding. Maigan found spots we would have never thought of for photos and had us so excited to see the finished product. The first time I looked at my photos I literally had tears in my eyes reliving the most magical day. Maigan, I cannot thank you enough for so beautifully capturing our day. You so beautifully photgraphed the details of the day as well as us enjoying the best day of our lives. You and your team were so much fun to have around and had all of us laughing the entire day. Not only did you make it fun for Brett and me, but our entire wedding party and our families all told us how great you both were to work with, and how you so effectively planned the day out. There was a never a time where we felt like we were standing around waiting or rushed to get more photos in. Brett and I felt so comfortable and really loved the direction you gave us the entire day. Our favourite part was having you there for the dance party to Wilson Phillips to end the night off. I would absolutely recommend Maigan Cowen photography to anyone looking for an amazing photographer. We look forward to working with Maigan again in the future!!"

 

PETER & MALLORY MUNDY

"As someone who loves photography, our wedding photos were going to be the most important photos in our lives. Time after time, we came back to Maigan's work simply because it spoke for itself. She captures light so beautifully, and the creativity in her shots blew us away. So we knew that we had found our wedding photographer!  Right from the get go, we knew that we wanted a photographer who was not only brilliant at what they do, but also personable. Maigan is both of those things. One of the many reasons Maigan impressed us was with her honest attitude and her intention to be open with us. She wanted to not only capture the wedding, but also the overall theme of the wedding to be represented in her work. Let me tell you, Maigan is worth every single flipping penny and more.  During our first meeting, Maigan brought so much energy and passion to the table. As we scouted for different photo locations at the wedding property, Maigan seemed to have an eye for the perfect photo and seemed so excited to be shooting our wedding. She left that meeting saying "I am going to rock your wedding!" Which made us feel so confident in her skills and creativity.  Maigan knew exactly what she was doing on our wedding day. It was such a relief and so helpful to have someone on your 'team' the whole day. She is there to make sure that you stay on schedule and that you get the photos of your dreams. There was never a moment where we felt pressured or rushed to get photos. She and her team stuck to the schedule with confidence and ease.  Pete and I felt so comfortable with Maigan behind the camera, as she was quick to encourage and motive us in various poses. Not once did she make us feel uncomfortable or feel like someone we weren't. She captured every moment of our wedding day perfectly and we absolutely love the end result. I would highly recommend Maigan Cowen Photography to ANY engaged couple.  Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly Maigan. When we look back on our wedding photos in 50 years, we have your amazing talent to thank! We look forward to working with you in the future."

 

 LAURA & MATT MARSH

"Professional, personable, talented, and beyond friendly are only a few words that come to mind when I think of Maigan Cowen Photography. Her and her team went above and beyond to capture a lifetime of memories of our destination wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. From the time we first met to the last meeting I was beyond impressed with her high standard of service of her team and herself. She was very detail oriented and adaptive to what we wanted. When I had a picture in mind she made it that much more incredible. You better believe Maigan Cowen Photography will be capturing all of the upcoming milestones in our lives. Thank you Maigan for going above and beyond with your services. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture this day. Our children will be able to look at our wedding photos while they are growing up and I will have such great pride in them. I can’t thank you enough!"

 

KAYLIE & KORY KRUIPERS

"Choosing Maigan as our photographer was honestly the easiest decision we made along the way! When we got engaged, I searched all over looking into different photographers and got about 10 pictures through Maigan’s website and knew that I needed to call her.  I remember calling her that night and we spent the night discussing our visions and we really just ‘clicked’!  We later met up and discussed further details.  Maigan came prepared with ideas on locations for our engagements pictures etc.  She made us so excited for our special day! Our engagement pictures turned out amazing, we were blown away by Maigan’s energy, her willingness to get the perfect picture and her dedication (she was climbing over rocks and walking through streams).  Maigan was a huge reason why our wedding day went so smoothly!  We had a 16 person wedding party and she was able to keep all of us on track throughout all the pictures and really made the day go perfectly.  Her energy and excitement the entire day clearly shows how much passion and love she has for her job and we truly couldn’t have picked a better person to capture our  engagement, wedding and after shoot pictures.  We honestly can’t say enough about Maigan as a person and as a photographer! Maigan is such a beautiful person inside and out and we would highly recommend her to anybody!  Maigan; thank you for everything!  We are so grateful for all the pictures that we will have to cherish forever!"

 

SHANNON & TAYLOR ABLITT

"One word, WOW. I can’t tell you how many people have complimented us on our amazing and talented photography from our wedding & and engagement shots. Unbelievable! It was amazing to work with someone with such an artistic eye at work. Not only were the pictures fabulous, but you and your associate were such a lovely presence to have around, which I feel allowed you to catch our guests, wedding party and US at our best! Our day was special, but it was made even more so by having you guys around, and carried on into forever by your amazing talents! The best part of the journey was choosing Maigan Cowan Photography as our photographer!"

 

MONIKA & NATHAN REBELO

"You know that exciting feeling you felt telling family and friends that you were engaged? You’ll feel that all over again when you share Maigan’s beautiful work!! She did beyond a phenomenal job on our engagement and wedding photos. During our meetings, she listened to our ideas while also offering her expertise. And did she ever deliver - she was able to wrap in elegance, a timeless setting and raw emotion into all of our photos. It doesn’t matter if you’re shy or reserved - Maigan’s positive energy will have you laughing up a storm and feeling comfortable instantly, as she captures the magic between your partner and yourself. Have an idea of a type of setting you want for pictures but no idea of locations? This woman will deliver! We’re blown away by the level of commitment Maigan has to a career she’s clearly passionate about, and the lengths she‘ll go to ensure your photos are nothing short of extraordinary. We have people messaging us asking who we used as our photographer - trust me, you won’t regret her!  We’re beyond thankful to have these beautiful memories captured forever and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional photographer with superior editing skills. This ones all about the natural lighting and we LOVE IT!! Thank YOU again for all that you’ve done!"

 

EMMA & SANDY COLE

"Where to even start!!  I’ve followed Maigan’s work since she launched her photography business. I remember when she told me she was going to start doing photography - it was when we worked together at the Ontario Police College. A bit of a different scene to photography, but whatever this lady sets her mind to she MASTERS!! I knew she was going to be the BEST one day.  I truly believe Maigs put her soul into our wedding day. From the moment I sent her a message to see when she was available (we picked our date around her schedule), to the phone calls planning out the day, I had nothing to worry about. Maigs had done it a million times before.  Wedding day arrived, and Maigs was on her A game. The photos of the day were captured beautifully from start to finish. Each and every special moment and everything in-between was snapped.  Maigan’s photos are pieces of art. Each one planned out and executed perfectly.  I am so grateful to have met this beautiful person and to have had her capture our wedding day."  

 

BETH NELLIGAN & RYAN SMITH

"A big THANK YOU to Maigan Cowen Photography for capturing beautiful photos of our special day! After completing our engagement session we knew we had picked the right photographer for our wedding. Maigan was artistic yet professional, capturing many photos that we didn’t even know could exist. Maigan got down and dirty as needed to complete the work which resulted in many beautiful photos of us, our wedding party and guests. We have received numerous comments on the beauty of our photos are and have been told they are “Vogue Magazine” quality.  Maigan has a special talent that utilizes light and landscape to find the perfect background for those special moments. Maigan and her team also did an amazing job capturing candid photos of our wedding and guests, which was very important to us when selecting a photographer. We would (and have) recommend Maigan Cowen Photography to newly engaged couples looking for exquisite wedding photos that capture the essence of their wedding."

 

KELLY & ILIA ROUTEVICH

"We honestly could not be happier with our whole experience with Maigan Cowen Photography. From the moment we got engaged, we knew that Maigan had to capture our big day! We had the great privilege of working with Maigan twice before our wedding! Looking back on our previous shoots, it was clear that Maigan was made for this profession. From day one she was able to capture the little moments between us, making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Even though we may have been one of her early clients, her talent from day one was undeniable. Maigan took the time to figure out what we were looking for in our shots. When we met to discuss our engagement shoot, wedding details, and after shoot, Maigan came completely prepared, having tons of ideas for us! This made us even more excited for the big day! On the day of our wedding, Maigan played a huge part in the day running smoothly. She kept us on track for timing, kept everyone’s energy up ALL day while seamlessly capturing every little moment that most would have missed. Maigan didn’t stop shooting until the day was over, and even then she stayed to check in with us in case we wanted any other important shots. Maigan was there completely for the right reasons – to make us happy, and that meant the world to us. When we got our wedding photos back we were absolutely speechless. We couldn’t stop smiling and laughing and crying. There are so many stunning shots, amazing moments, and incredible memories. We loved the way Maigan was able to capture the small details of our wedding. The beautiful flowers, jewelry, the ballroom, the list goes on and on. She was so creative and really captured the essence of our day! Secondly, we truly loved the candid shots Maigan captured of our friends and family. Maigan was able to capture so many amazing moments that most would have missed! Thanks to Maigan Cowen Photography, they will never be forgotten. Lastly, Maigan blew us away when we did our beautiful fall themed after shoot! We had so much fun and loved that we were able to get some amazing shots in a different setting with all the beautiful fall colours! Our after shoot really compliments Maigan as an artist. She is so creative and willing to work with whatever vision you may have, adding her own personal touches to capture beautiful images. The best decision of our wedding planning was hiring Maigan Cowen Photography to capture our day. Maigan encompasses all the things you could ask for in a photographer. She is professional, dedicated to her clients and their needs, completely passionate about her work, and never misses a moment. Maigan is extremely talented and a beautiful person inside and out. We would recommend her to anyone!"

 

CONSTANT & HEATHER DARSAULT

"Maigan, your photos are exquisite. We were eager to book you for our wedding, having seen the shoots you've done for others. You are a standout, and your hard work and talent are making other photographers take notice...not to mention making your clients very, very happy. The new girl is here, and she has a tool-kit full of surprises. What fascinates me most is this: I'm looking at a photo you've taken, and I can see all the reasons I would've wanted to make that moment freeze - a permanent memory. If only it were as easy as pressing a button, at the perfect angle, with the proper lens for the lighting, etc, etc, etc... You look for flashes of elegance, handsome milliseconds, and find the lively moments that others miss - I swear you don't blink, ever... What's crazy is how you stay spirited about each click, and how before you know it, the hours are gone, and your magic is ready to live on. Thank you for your commitment to us, to our day, and the hours of prep that went into delivering us a package of smiles with your signature touch in each..."

 

KAITLIN & BEN DAVIS

"From the moment we met Maigan, we knew we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. She was so professional during our consult, we were very impressed with her preparedness and how many questions she asked us about our vision for the day. We were immediately confident that she understood our vision and would do an amazing job on our engagement shoot and wedding day. After we signed the contract, Maigan gave us a timeline of events in the coming months and what we could expect. That put us at ease as we didn’t have to worry about getting in touch with her to schedule our engagement shoot. When we had our engagement shoot, Maigan put us at ease right away. We walked the grounds and she found a lot of great locations. Her energy and excitement about the location kept our energy levels up! She provided us great direction and also let us just be us and forget she was there. Maigan has an eye for capturing moments. Our favourite photos from our engagement shoot and wedding day are of the candid moments. On the wedding day, Maigan and her team were incredible! We had terrible weather and Maigan was quick to make a backup plan for us and didn’t take away from the photos at all. Seeing how gorgeous the photos are makes us forget how cold and windy it was that day and reminds us of how surrounded by love we were. She captured us :) We would recommend Maigan to anyone looking for a photographer and hope we are able to work together again!"

 

DANIELLE & WES REVINGTON

"We learned about Maigan Cowen Photography through some friends who shared that her work was very unique, beautiful and a true piece of art.  This could not be truer.  Maigan Cowen and her team were absolutely amazing to work with in every way possible.  Throughout our engagement shoot, we were taken back by how many really unique ideas Maigan had for us, which in the end really captured the love we have for each other.  This continued on for the big day.  Maigan has a truly creative eye and really makes you feel so very comfortable throughout all the craziness of the wedding day.  Her teams professionalism, witty humour and collaborative nature resulted in us having a blast and the final product being AMAZING!  I can't even tell you how many people have told us our wedding photos should be in a magazine!  They really capture the beauty of the best day of our life and are more then we could have asked for!! They exceeded our expectations in every way.  I am very thankful to have met Maigan as she added so many special touches to our wedding day.  I've said it before and I'll say it again - you are a true artist."

 

JEN & DAVE MIMNAGH

"We really lucked out having Maigan Cowen as a photographer for our wedding. She captured our day beautifully and gave us the gift of amazing images to remember and cherish for a lifetime. We were first taken in by Maigan's website gallery photos. Her pictures were creative, professional and polished. Due to our hectic schedule we decided to book her immediately even with out the face-to-face meeting. We quickly knew just the through email exchanges that Maigan would be great to work with and that we made a good decision. She had wonderful suggestions right from the start and was very open to ideas. Our engagement photo session fell on a very cold and snowy day in London. Maigan showed up ready to work; climbing through knee deep snow banks to get the best shots. She almost immediately put us at ease and we had a great time. She has a way of keeping it fun. She was constantly looking for the best light and positions all the while keeping us engaged in the moment. We were so pleased with the final photos we knew we were in great hands for our big day. As luck would have it, our summer wedding fell on an extremely rainy Saturday in July. With what could have put a damper on the day, Maigan and her assistant stepped up to the challenge and captured our day perfectly - rain showers and all. Once again, Maigan adapted quickly and kept everyone excited and happy all while still getting the perfect pictures. Thanks to Maigan, we will always have the wonderful memory of dancing in rain on our wedding day. Her hard work and dedication was so very much appreciated. After the wedding we asked Maigan to put together our custom wedding album. It was the final touch and I would highly recommend it. She knew exactly how to lay out the photos. The album is absolutely stunning. From start to finish Maigan was a true professional. We will definitely be asking Maigan to capture our future family photos in the years to come."

 

NICOLE & PATRICK DEVEREAUX

"Immediately after getting engaged I took to social media scouring through local photographers, I was instantly drawn to the effortless look to Maigan's work, how she pulled out that natural beauty from her couples. She quickly made my short list and by short list I mean she was the one and only person I wanted photographing our wedding. I contacted her quickly and even with a short engagement and most of her summer booked she had our day open, it was meant to be! We had a unique wedding in mind, a surprise, people knew of our engagement but thought we were getting married in the backyard in September. Maigan was of course in on the surprise and when people arrived at a country property in the middle of July for an engagement party they quickly learned it was a wedding. Maigan was genuinely excited to be apart of it and eager to capture every moment of it. After telling her the details of the property we were getting married at, her creativity ran wild. My now husband is 2 things - 1. not someone that loves to have his picture taken and 2. not a man for PDA, but Maigan and her team created an environment that day that made him comfortable, able to let his guard down and enjoy the moment, something I'm not sure would have happened with any other team of photographers. Looking through the pictures afterwards revealed that Maigan and her team caught everything that day, there wasn't one detail big or small that they missed or I thought to myself 'I really wish they would have gotten that moment'.  These are pictures that will last a life time and choosing Maigan Cowen Photography was the best decision I could have ever made - the leftover cake or the bad music will be forgotten but the pictures will be around forever."

 

MEL & TRAVIS TIGGLEAU

"I don’t even know where to begin. From the second we had our appointment with Maigan, she showed so much passion and love for photography that it made our decision easy.  Maigan is incredibly talented and very organized!  Choosing Maigan as our wedding photographer was the best decision we have made. She was personable and extremely professional.  I was so nervous about being organized and on schedule for our big day however, Maigan has so much experience - she kept us on our schedule and captured all our memorable moments. Our photos are stunning and even looking back on them months later, they draw forth the emotions we had on our wedding day.  Her passion and love for photography is evident in her stunning photos and I couldn’t have asked for anything more!"

 

KIERSTIN & SCOTT MYERS

"Working with Maigan and her team was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Maigan was incredible from start to finish- energetic, fun, flexible and professional. During our engagement and wedding shoots, Maigan helped to make us feel comfortable, allowing us to achieve beautiful candid shots. Maigan made the entire experience fun, easy and romantic. She goes above and beyond to find that perfect shot. She captured the most beautiful photos of our day; words can not describe how truly happy we are with our photographs. Maigan is incredibly talented and a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend to all couples".

 

 BRITTANY AND JEFF GORE

"Wow. Just wow!!! The photos are absolutely beautiful, Maigan! Browsing through the photos really took us back to our very special day and we look forward to treasuring those moments for years to come! You did a wonderful job capturing our wedding day and we are so thankful for that. Not only were you able to capture some stunningly beautiful formal photos but you were also able to capture John and I in our “silly" moments - which we tend to have a lot of! The candids of our guests were spot on, and it was so nice to see that you were able to capture what we were told was a memorable evening. We have received so many compliments from friends and family that have taken the time to view the gallery.  Thank you to both you for your patience and assistance throughout our big day. I don’t know many photographers who would have done some of the things you two did for us (I’ll never forget Maigan biting off a piece of silk organza that was falling off of my dress!!) and for that we are forever grateful!  It is so exciting to know that you were able to photograph our engagement session, wedding, and hopefully future momentous occasions in the future! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing this special day.

 

MICHAEL & JACLYN PISARCZYK

"Working with Maigan Cowen for our wedding and engagement photography was easy and fun! Most importantly, every key aspect of our wedding was captured. Maigan was always professional. She took amazing portrait and candid shots, and always provided great tips and direction to ensure our poses were natural and that we looked our best. All communication prior to both shoots was very timely. We met her twice in person to cover the wedding details and once a week before our wedding at my parents’ house and the reception location to assess exactly which locations would photograph the best based on the lighting conditions at that time of the day. This allowed us to plan our day accordingly and maximized our shooting time on the day of the wedding. Maigan had all edited photos in our possession within a month of our wedding.  I would recommend Maigan to anyone who is looking for a wedding, engagement, family, or any other photographer. She was great to work with and most importantly, her images are absolutely stunning.

 

STEVE & SARAH RADCLIFFE

"Book now! Maigan Cowen is an all-star in the photography field. She is an extremely talented artist. We were instantly drawn to her portfolio of magical collections. Upon meeting Maigan, Steve and I felt like we had known her for years. We travelled together to St. Joe’s beach for a fun evening of engagement shooting. During this golden-hour Maigan coached us with endless cues and guidance through our first photo-shoot as a couple. Leaving that shoot we were confident that our wedding day would be captured at its best. So many special moments were captured in their purest. We cannot thank Maigan and her team enough for capturing beautiful candids of so many special moments and people in our lives. We will forever cherish her work! We highly recommend Maigan Cowen Photography and promise you won’t be disappointed with the exquisite collections you will receive!"

 

JOCELYN & PAUL DIETRICH

"I highly recommend Maigan to anyone looking for a high quality wedding photographer! She was a fantastic person to work with right from the beginning, both fun and professional. She was extremely organized and took on the role of keeping everyone on schedule the day of the wedding. But most importantly, she took the most stunning photos that so perfectly fit exactly what I had envisioned. It’s been months since we’ve gotten the photos back and yet I still can’t stop obsessing over how much I love them. My husband and I can’t thank Maigan enough for the beautiful photos she’s given us!" 

 

SARAH & CURTIS BAKKER

"I first came across Maigan's portfolio a couple years before we were engaged. Her pictures of an acquaintance's wedding came up on my Facebook and I was blown away. I had followed her work for a couple of years and was amazed at her ability to produce photo after photo of amazing shots - for every shoot. For me this was paramount.  You only get one day, once chance to capture the moments - you need a photographer up to the challenge.  This is Maigan.  Amazing pictures are important, of course, but it is not everything you are looking for in a photographer. You want someone who makes you feel comfortable, who works to understand you, and your vision for the day. I was lucky enough to attend a beginners photography class by Maigan ahead of our engagement (side note- I also highly recommend these classes for a beginner or not, wanting to learn and grow their skills), and I knew from that moment, she needed to be our photographer. For those who haven't met Maigan, ill try to capture her essence - her light and her passion for photography are contagious, she is personable, professional, and in general a lot of fun to be around. She is a gem!  So, it is no surprise, that we finally got engaged, Maigan was the first once I reached out too, before even setting a date. From there- it was easy. Honestly, so easy. Maigan works to understand your vision, she is responsive, and makes sure you know what to expect, and that she has all the information she needs in order to make your day go smoothly. You could not ask for more.  Overall, if you haven't gathered from the essay above (which I apologize for, but it is hard to try and do justice to the experience we had), Maigan was amazing before, during and after our wedding. We couldn't be happier with our choice to use her as our photographer and think that you would be crazy not to consider her too".

 

AMANDA & AARON TUFFIN

"I first heard of Maigan Cowen Photography through a close friend who had used her for her wedding.  After taking a look at her pictures and comparing them to other photographers, I knew it was a no brainer and that we had to go with her for our special day.  Our first meeting with Maigan was during our engagement session.  She seemed to be up for anything and had no problem when we asked her if we could do our session up in Ipperwash Beach where we spend our summers.  Maigan made us feel comfortable during the entire process.  I am not a big fan of having my picture taken but Maigan put us at ease as soon as the shoot started.  On our wedding day, Maigan was very organized, outgoing and worked hard to get the formals done quickly so we were able to join our guests for the cocktail hour.  Everyone comments on how beautiful our pictures turned out, and we couldn't be happier."

 

LEE-ANNE & MATT FOCHESATO

"My husband and I chose Maigan Cowen to be our photographer for our wedding after looking through her lovely portfolio of wedding and engagement pictures. Upon our first communication with Maigan I knew that we had made the right choice. She was extremely friendly and professional, and it was obvious that she has a great passion for photography and her craft. Maigan had no shortage of ideas of how to best capture our wedding day in a unique way that reflected our wedding and us as a couple. She was always ready to answer any questions we had in a prompt manner and ready to accommodate any number of requests. Not only is Maigan a talented photographer, but she is a joy to have around on your wedding day. She is spirited, full of energy, and does all she can to get the best pictures possible. Maigan did a great job of keeping everything on schedule and making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our pictures were stunning and I truly could not have asked for a better final product. We will treasure Maigan’s pictures of our wedding day, and have those memories for years to come."

 

BIANCA & JAIME MCFALLS

"Maigan, where do we even begin! Our entire experience working with you in Dominican Republic was nothing but fantastic. From day one you were both professional and so personable, you made me feel confident leading up and the day of the wedding especially during the most stressful times. The entire process was stress free and easy, Maigan you were always available and quick to answer any questions we had along the way.  It was also extremely helpful when it came to photo ideas and making these photos natural, it felt more like friends than business. You were more than a photographer the day of the wedding and I can not thank you enough for this. We can truthfully and honestly say that we can relive every moment of our wedding through these pictures and that is thanks to you. I wish we could have a second wedding just so I could have more of these amazing photos!!" 

 

JON & SARAH DRAPER

"The first time we met Maigan we knew that we wanted her to be the one to capture our special day. Her instant warmth towards us and knowledge about the business was refreshing. When we met her assistant, we saw the whole day coming together. The two of them together were just amazing! Between their skill and charisma we could not have IMAGINED a better couple to help us photograph our wedding day. My husband and I are not overly photogenic but Maigan and her team helped tremendously in getting us to loosen up and feel comfortable. They made us feel like friends, so the smiles came naturally giving us beautiful photos we cannot stop looking at. The lighting and angles, the background and every little detail were paid special attention to to produce an unforgettable experience and lasting photos. The creativity in between these two is unstoppable and that is apparent in their work. They are the perfect balance of friendly and professional as they work with you on your ideas and make you feel comfortable while making sure every detail is recorded for you in a timely manner. Maigan!  You are such a great person and I would (and do!) highly recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer! Thank you again so very much!"

 

SARAH & TONY STALLARD

"I had never really heard of any photographers in the London area. For our wedding day I started to do some research looking at different photographers work. As soon as I found Maigan I knew she was exactly the style and kind of person I was looking for. I immediately contacted her to meet. Going into the meeting I already knew I wanted her to capture the big day. My husband and I are not big on being in photos let alone being the center of attention for all photos. We did engagement photos first just to get more comfortable in front of the camera, however instantly we felt right at home with Maigan. She was so genuine and nice. When we got our photos back we were so pleased with them. I love her artistic side and the detail photos she takes. She really knows how to capture the real moments. Our wedding photos turned out just as beautiful. The day of our wedding she was extremely organized with getting as many photos in as possible. Another big bonus was how quiet and almost not present she was during very important moments, eg. ceremony and speeches. I look back at photos and don’t even remember them being taken. I would 100% recommend her to anyone. One of my best friends is getting married this year and was fortunate enough to be able to book her in as well. Super excited to see more fabulous photos from her. Thank you again Maigan!" 

 

MATT & LAURA DOYLE

"Maigan, Matt and I can't even begin to say how thankful we are for these images: they are absolutely stunning! We have relived our day over probably about 3 or 4 times now, and every time is just as sweet as the first. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. You were amazing and it really shows in the photos. You were incredibly organized and helped us go through our day on schedule. The weather didn't exactly cooperate, but we trusted you and man did that ever pay off! We were getting a bit tired at the end, so thank you for bearing with us and getting us to smile and keep going. I was surprised at how many pictures of the reception you both got and of people, as I thought you wouldn't have much time for it, but you seem to make the most out of every opportunity and we love the results. It is hard to choose which pictures are our favourites, as there are so many! The candid shots are definite favourites though: we love that you caught those in between memories for us. Maigan, thank you so much for being our photographer. We are very happy with our choice, and are so thrilled that you captured our day so perfectly. So basically, thank you so much Maigan. It really was an amazing day for us, and we are so ecstatic about the pictures."

 

LISA & MATT MEDEIROS

"I worked with Maigan about 10 years ago and had seen some of her early work through social media. Even when she was just starting out her photographs were stunning. I knew I wanted her to be my wedding photographer, and when the time came I actually booked my wedding date around her availability! Not only is her work beautiful, Maigan is great to work with. She is professional, punctual , organized and has tons of great ideas. Her warm and outgoing personality make being photographed easy even for those of us who are awkward in front of a camera. One of the things I was most stressed about was keeping everything on track with the wedding day timeline, however I did not even have to think about that as Maigan had it all under control which allowed me to just enjoy the day! Between Maigan's  friendly personality, genuine passion, creative eye for photography and willingness to do whatever it took to get the shot, she was the perfect choice! We can't thank Maigan and her team enough for the beautiful photos we have to look back on for years to come! I always recommend Maigan Cowen Photography to newly engaged couples!"

 

ALYSSA & TREVOR SCOTT

"I cannot say enough amazing things about Maigan! Maigan was the first photographer we met with and we did not need to meet with anyone else! From our first meeting, to our engagement shoot, to getting our wedding gallery, the whole experience of working with Maigan was easy and enjoyable. Maigan is so passionate about what she does and looking at her work you can tell how crazy talented she is. I loved that beyond capturing amazing photos of our wedding day she was also so organized, assertive, and helped create the timeline of our day. My husband and I are not big on having our photo taken and were unsure if we wanted engagement photos but we are so happy we did them. It gave us a chance to get comfortable with Maigan and the experience calmed our nerves about the big day because we felt SO comfortable with her. It’s hard not to when she is making you laugh and telling you how amazing you look. Our wedding photos turned out beautifully and really captured the vibe of our day. I cannot stop looking at them and I am so thankful to Maigan that we have these wonderful memories to cherish forever. You will be in great hands if choose Maigan Cowen Photography for your wedding. She is more than just a photographer she really treats you like a friend".

 

JON & KELLY PARDY

"It was such a pleasure working with Maigan and her team - they captured our day perfectly! It is truly difficult to decide which was the best part of our experience with this amazing team! Her second photographer was high energy when working with the guys and captured some excellent candid shots before the wedding! He was easy going and just went with the flow! Not everyone could work with this crazy bunch of guys! He made sure our groomsmen of all ages were included and had a blast! Maigan is very patient and organized and had a great approach with working with the girls during the pre-wedding shots! Maigan has a great eye for detail and made sure that all of the special moments were caught! Maigan and her associate were an incredible team, and we had an excellent time for the formal shots (and we're pretty sure they are the only photographers we know that would wear heavy duty winter boots and jump in snowbanks to make sure that they captured the best angles and lighting for us!) We Appreciated Maigan's honesty and letting us know that even though there were photos we wanted they may not turn how we wanted due to lighting! Not everyone would be so honest! We respect her level of professionalism, preparedness and all of the contact that she maintained before and after our wedding! She was very prompt in getting photos to us, and with answering (many!) emails with questions and concerns! We had a blast during our engagement shoot and would undoubtedly recommend Maigan Cowen Photography to anyone, anytime!!! A sincere thanks to Maigan Cowen Photography for capturing our engagement and wedding day!"

 

ZINAIDA & PETER FOLTIN

"Maigan stood out to us immediately when we interviewed her. With her professional demeanor, really good people skills and excellent intuition on what we would like it was a no brainer for us that we need to hire her. Her work is timeless with impeccable composition. You know when you look at a photo from a wedding a long time ago and stunned by the classiness and style? I am confident that this is what Maigan's photos will look like many years from now. No gimmicks, no "fancy" filters, just pure beauty.  She worked hard before and during the wedding to ensure that all the important moments are captured. We received first photos much sooner than we expected, and the quality was superb.  Several years later we enjoy looking at the photos, and every time I'm impressed how well she captured who we are, the funny and heartfelt moments of the wedding, the silly and romantic sides of us as a couple.  I would highly recommend Maigan to anyone who is looking for timeless photos that will bring joy for years to come.

 

BROOKE AND TREVOR ROSE

"Professional, creative, cutting edge, and caring are a few things that come to mind when thinking of Maigan Cowen. Trevor and I first met Maigan back in the fall of 2012 when we won a couple’s photo shoot through her Facebook page. I was hesitant to “like” and “share” the page at first because I thought 2 things: 1. I never win anything, so what’s the use and 2. There’s no way Trevor would do this with me. Boy, am I ever glad I didn’t listen to what I was thinking! When Maigan contacted me to tell me the good news, I was ecstatic!  Long story short, we met for the photo shoot and after a few hours we knew we had found a friend and photographer for life. When Trevor popped the question, the first thing I made sure to do was get in touch with Maigan to make sure she was available for our big day. There was nobody else who even crossed my mind! Working with Maigan was like working with a long time friend. Trevor and I had never had any professional pictures done before, and having her guidance on how we should place our hands or where our head needed to be really helped out. She continuously made you feel like you were a superstar while she took the pictures! Little sayings of “wow”, “stunning”, “don’t move” and “this is PERFECT” were the greatest things to hear from the woman behind the camera. She kept us on track and she had planned every single shoot down to the smallest detail – and boy is her attention to detail superb! Trevor and I received our entire package of pictures from Maigan less than 3 weeks after our wedding, but by the looks of the pictures you would think it took her months to do them! They were stunning, amazing, and perfectly edited. She doesn’t take the beauty out of the picture with some sort of filter, they’re absolutely perfect! With the passing of my father 3 weeks after our wedding, the moments she captured mean more to us than anything in the world! She found those special candid moments without even trying and I will forever be grateful. If you are thinking of a photographer for your wedding, engagement, or family photos look no further! Maigan Cowen Photography, you’ve found a lifelong supporter and customer in our family."

 

ANDREA & COLTON DURNIN

As we were looking for a photographer for our upcoming wedding, we asked around for recommendations. A friend had all good things to say about Maigan and her work - so we checked her out.  Instantly we were attracted to her passion and knowledge for photography, her fun personality, and her way of making us feel comfortable.  We knew we could trust her in capturing our day. We were blown away when we received our final product - both for our engagement and wedding pictures. We can't thank Maigan enough for the memories she gave us-forever grateful!"

 

ALICIA & SEBASTIAN COREY

I had been following several wedding photographers for many years, knowing that one day I would have to make the very difficult decision of who would photograph my wedding. I thought it would be the hardest decision about the wedding, until I found Maigan. I was willing to change the date of our wedding if Maigan was not available, that’s just how much I needed to have her photograph our special day. The entire day Maigan took initiative to ensure everything ran on time, all while making sure everyone felt completely comfortable and having a great time. I had such high expectations for our wedding photos and Maigan managed to surpass all expectations. Looking at our wedding photos is like looking at a story unfolding, I can feel all the emotions that were felt in each moment as if I am reliving it. Maigan is an absolute artist and a genius in her profession and we were so lucky to have had her capture one of the most important days of our life. Thank you Maigan for the gift you have given us, a chance to remember our day in the best way possible.

 

TRINA & LUKE MARTEL

"The best decision I made for my wedding was my choice in photographer!  Maigan was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end – to stylizing our glitzy sunset engagement shoot, answering all of my questions, location scouting and obviously shooting our big day. She was very professional, timely and most importantly (to me) fun. My husband hates getting his picture taken, but she was able to pose us in ways that looked natural and paid close attention to details to ensure the photos looked flawless. I cannot even count the amount of compliments we received on both our engagement and wedding photos (even months later)! Her photos are definitely out of a fairytale. She is a very talented photographer and I would recommend her any day".

 

KERRI & JARRET BRUINSMA

"After weeks of searching for the perfect photographer for our wedding, we found Maigan Cowen Photography and knew it was the best fit. Of course Maigan takes beautiful photographs, but she also brings so much more to the process. She made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement session and on our wedding day-- it never felt awkward or staged. She would capture the small moments that we had together in their raw form, and kept them genuine by not over editing the images to look like something they weren't. A couple weeks before the wedding, Maigan came out to go through our venue and scout locations for the perfect pictures. This relieved so much stress of finding the perfect areas for each photograph on the actual wedding day. Maigan was not only our photographer, but also partly our wedding coordinator as she kept our whole day on schedule.  She invested her time and energy to make sure our wedding day was the perfect day that it was.  Everyone who looks at our photos comment on how amazing they are, and that is all thank to Maigan Cowen Photography.  We recommend her to everyone we know getting married - we promise you won't be disappointed!" 

 

TARA & STEVE DOERING

"This is well overdue, but to be completely honest, it has been very difficult to find the right words to express just how perfect Maigan was for our big day. Maigan is beyond talented and incredibly professional. From our engagement photos to our destination wedding on the East Coast, Maigan was organized and put Steve and I at ease. She was incredibly pleasant and all of our family and friends enjoyed having her there. Many of our friends and family commented on how wonderful she was throughout the day and how they would recommend her to anyone they knew that needed a photographer. Her passion for her work is so evident in her final product and we are so happy with the photos we received. Maigan is every bit worth what she charges, which I found to be entirely reasonable. She had an entire schedule written out for our big day to keep us on track and I am so thankful for this. The entire day, I was completely unaware of the time because she took charge and directed our large wedding party in where they needed to be and what was to happen next. In our opinion, she went above and beyond, and I felt I was able to just enjoy our day and everyone involved. The joke when Maigan gave me our schedule was that she apologized if she came across as bossy to anyone, but then explained that she is the only vendor to stay with the couple through the entire day. This absolutely made sense to us. But that being said, not a single person commented on Maigan being bossy, but rather how professional and organized she was. Maigan, you truly captured the essence of our wedding day, and I will forever be able to look at the photos you took and be reminded of how perfect it all was. Thank you."

 

SHELLEY & MANNY FURTADO

"Maigan is the best! I spent a long time looking for a wedding photographer and when I came across Maigan’s website I was so impressed with her work - I knew I wanted her to photograph our big day. She places a high level of attention on the little details which makes her photos superiors to others. She really does go the extra length to get the best shots. Not only does she have a keen eye for photography, she is super organized and kept our day running smoothly and on schedule. She was great to work with and she captured our day so beautifully. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing wedding photographer!!"

 

LEAH SINAI & RYAN PRIMEAU

"We would give Maigan more than 5 stars if we could. Maigan was the most amazing wedding photographer and the best decision we made for our big day. From the beginning, she has been nothing but helpful, professional, and enthusiastic about making our photographs be something we could look at 50 years from now and smile. Maigan was integral in helping us plan the schedule for our wedding day, which is a big help in someone planning her own wedding. On the big day, Maigan brought so much fun energy and it was never a dull moment. We are thrilled with all of the photos we received from our wedding...so much so that we haven't done anything with them yet because we are having a hard time picking our favourites. Would recommend 1000 times over to anyone. She is beyond talented and you will not be disappointed and these memories will last a lifetime".

 

JACLYN & SHELLEY & ADAM SWAN

"Working with Maigan Cowen Photography was a fantastic experience! Maigan was easy going, very organized and enthusiastic. Her attention to detail made the quality of our wedding pictures outstanding. Sometimes photographers can easily distract from the moment - but Maigan was able to be there to capture every moment without taking away from the intimacy of the experience. I was very pleased with the variety of pictures we received and how quickly we received them. The end product package was beyond our expectations - it was perfect! It was amazing to be able to walk through our day again through her pictures as she was able to capture almost every moment - it was like reliving the experience! Thank you Maigan Cowen Photography - you made our day enjoyable and captured some everlasting memories."
